Considerable excitement was created

murder had been committed at Wind.
ham the day before. The story was
telegraphed to the papers all over the
country, and several of them gave
their readers the benefit of the sensa-
ton. The facts, as nearly as can be
ascertained, are as follows: Mr.. VIM.
Moore, a farmer, went to his barn in
the morning to attend to his stock
and was found, some time afterward,
lying upon the barn floor in an un-
conscious condition, with a number OF
severe wounds upon his head and face
The theory that he had been assaulted
and robbed appeared the most natural
one, and a tramp who had been seen
in the neighborhOOd was at once sus
pected of the crime. Parties went in
| pursuit and soon captured him. Mean.

ness sufficiently to explain that while
engaged in throwing down hay from
the loft, he was seized with dizziness
and fell to the floor below. This, o
course, secured the release of the tramp

but he is thought to be in a fair way
of recovery.

The Tables Turned.

In neighbOring hamlet, whose in
itial letter we will designate as the first
in the alphabet, resided, not many
years since, a genial and accomplished
gentleman, whose professional calling
is indicated by an. D." Being of
pleasing address and genial, accom-
modating manner as well as success
full practitioner, his acquaintance was
extensive, and his services and conf
Dental advice were sought other than
professional. Among his acquaintan-
tance was a worthy son of Afric's
sunny cline" whose intellectual cul-
ture was inadequate to the develop
ment and expression of the restless
thoughts and fertile imagery of his
brain, Being no exception to the hu-
man family in general and his race in
particular, Cupid's darts found easy
entrance to the rendezvous of his af-
fections. The fair one upon whom he
lavished his affections resided in a
neighboring county, necessitating the
the sword" in conveying the tender
expressions of his love and allegiance
to her charms. Though he was not as
deficient as the untutored "Lo," in
accomplishments, still he was not
skilled in that terseness and volubility
of expression which the ardOr of his
passion demanded. Accordingly, he
sought the aid of our accommodating
friend, the M. D. Now, although en-
tertaining a becoming mOdesty as to
his accomplishments, the M. ID. had a
pardonable prize in his chirography
and did not consider himself altOgeth-
er neophyte in inditing epistles OF
the tender order. Accordingly, an
evening was appointed, and his color
ed friend was promptly on hand full OF
the tender passion, which an epistle
Just received from his fair dulciena had
newly awakened. After perusing its
| contents, which were redolent with
admiration and affection for the one
whose love was treasured as the acme
of earthly happiness, "Doc," as he
was familiarly called, proceeded to
respond to this tender missive. 1t is
needless to say that he breathed the
most passionate and tender expires
sions, undying affection, chivalric
devotion, subtitle admiration of the
charms of her person and character
into its composition (; the present was
robbed of care in joyous and longing
anticipation of the time when he could
fold her in his embraces as his own
bask in her smiles, and listen to the
soft cadence of her voice. Conscious
of exhaustive effort in both compost
tion and penmanship, 'Doc," aftel
its completion, proceeded to read it to
his sable friend, inquiring if there
was anything omitted; if so, he woulG
append a "P. S." After a few mo

replied: Yes, Doc-'scuse bad wri

by the roar of few chums in an ad
joining room, whom he had invited in
to enjoy little fun at the expense o
