In His Wife'S Grave,

A Clarksville, Tenn. despatch
saye:-There has been among
the private papers of the late
DR.. Francois Fountenay, the writ,
ten confession of crime which oo-
CURED twenty eight years ego Of
which DR. Fonrteray was never
suspected.
Rev. A. M. Feltner, rector of
the Episcopal church, disappeared
mysteriously in 1865, and dill
gent search by his friends aided by
detectives, failed to furnish any clue
IS to what had become OF him.
His wife had just died but beyond
that no cause for melancholy was
known and nothing could be
learned to indicate any motive for
going away SO strangely. The
document in question is confess
sion by DR.. Fountenay that he MUIR
deled Feltner.
FIGHT AT THE GRAVE.
The confession goes into details.
DR.. Fourtenay was Mrs Feltner's
phyeicisn and was greatly interested
il the case because Of some peculiar
features that appealed to his pro-
fessional zesl When DR.. Fo,,nte-
nay yielded to the temptation to
steal the body for an autopsy, he
had it removed from the grave and
was preparing to refill it when he
received stunning blow from be-
hind. Wheeling he found himself
face 10 face with Feltner, the latter
mad daened by the desec,ation Of his
wife's grave. The rector again at
tackled him and to defend himself.
knowing that protests would be use
less, the doctor seized a shovel and
struck his assailant on the head,
hoping to stun him and escape The
blow crushed the temple bone,
causing instant death.
BuRIEs HIS VICTIM
The horrihed murderer placed
the body in the empty coffin and re-
filled the grave. Rain washed away
all traces Of the work, and the
strange disappearance was soon
almost forgotten
DR.. Fountenay completed his au-
topsy with great advantage to
science He adopted his victim
two children, both Of whom are still
living. The daughter married a
State official. The eon is in the
government service. DR.. Fountenay
was a wealthy bachelor, and left
them his fortune. Mrs. Fetner's
body was found where the confes-
sion said it had been buried in
the cellar, and reinterred besides
that Of her husband.

DEATH OF MAI. DEVEREUX.

We are panied to announce the
death of Maj. John Devereux, who
passed away quietly, after a linger-
ing illness, yesterday at l o'clock.
in the 18th year of his age.
Maj. Devereux was the son OF Col.
Thomas P. Devereux, who was one
of the most intellectual and best
equipped Of that fine galaxy Of pol
ished gentlemen who adorned social
life in North Carolina before the
war. Ee was early in life given
large interests to manage, and bis
management was distin guished by
rare judgment and energy. The
results of the war, however, swept
away his inheritance, and Ma jor
Devereux at once, without repining,
began to devote himself essiduously
to such occupations as clrcum-
stances permitted
During the war lie was Quarter
master for the State and his
methodical habits and clearness OF
apprehension made his services in
valuable No man stood higher for
integrity of character, and but few
were possessed Of such general in
formation as Maj. Devereux. He was
universally esteemed. Kindly in
disposition, generously endowed by
nature with social gifts, and a
finely cultivated gentleman, he uni
ted IL his person many virtues that
erdeared him to his intimates and
friends He will be greatly missed
in our community.

rules at 8 per cent is nothing.
Let US take $113, 500 in cash and
invest it in four per cent, obtaining
100000 in bonds which will bring

Stood The Test.

Allc >ck's Porous Plaster are unap-
proachable in curative properties,
rapidity and safety of action, and
are the only reliable plasters ever
produced. They have successfully
TODD the test of over thirty years
use by the public; their virtues have
never been equalled by the unscru-
puloGs imitators who have sou ught O
trade upon the reputation Of All
cocks by making plasters with
holes IN them, and claiming them
to BE Gust as good as Allcock's, ;
and they stand to day indorsed by
not only the highest medical auth
critics, but by millions of grateful
patients who have proved their
efficacy as household remedy.
Beware of limitations, and do not
be deceived by misrepresentation.

AFTER the war q man named
Slater, Of Connecticut, we think,
left fund of one million dollars, the
income of which is used by trustees
of high standing to promote the
education of negroes at the South.
Heretofore the lines on which the
fund has been applied have been to
produce preachers and teachers and
negro doctors. Now, however,
change is proposed, and the trus-
tees will devote the money to ad.
vancing the colored brethren in
manual industries.
The Shaw University here does
that to great extent; various agri-
cultural and mechanical colleges
have been started for the same pur-
pose in other Southern States, and
larger and better schools are found
in Alabama and Mississippi and at
Hampton, in Virginia. Besides there
are church schools, like the ST
Augustine here. On the whole,
education of ell kinds is now within
easy reach of the colored people,
and the next generation will doubt
less feel the beneficial effects Of
these advantages.

A Novel Entertainment at Oxford.

OXFORD. N. @, April Tonight
the people of our town had real
treat by the best local talent, | may
feel safe in saying, IN the State.
The young ladies gave what they
called minstrel Show" in which
they got off the best hits inagin-
able on some of the Young men OF
the town. The singing was fine,
and each one did herself great
credit The rich and mellow sop
ramos Of Misses Shepard Hyde and
Mrs. G. j. Cooper, and the exquisite
altos of Misses Annis Hughes and
Faucette throughly captivated the
audience. Miss Rountree, the CEN
tre "man" and Miss Temple VIII
isms, the end "man." were simply
unique in their parts, as were the
others also. The closing piece was
a parody on "Ta ra-ra- bum de-ra,
as they had it printed on the hand
bills. Each stanza took off some
young man, and one was hard hit
at a certain young married man,
who is lawyer by profession. One
of the "end men, wanted to know
why his wife called him Necessity"
On being unanswered, "he" replied,
Because he knows 10 Law 1t
brought down the house. Although
| the admission fee was small, they
took in S05 90. 1t was for the ben
eft of the Presbyterian church.
Tho called minstrel Show" it
was perfectly refined aud commend
| able After the entertainment was
over a good many Of the young
ladies and gentlemen repaired 10
the Armory and engaged in very
pleasant german, the music being
furnished by the inimitable doe
and assistants.
The recitation BY Miss Currin
was almost perfect. She is a
skilled elocutionist, and all her rec
itations are looked forward to with
the greatest interest Her grace
and raturalness cannot be excelled
and her rendition OF "the bald
headed man" tonight was amusing g
indeed, for on the front low sat
several of our bareheaded breth-
eren, and when she would point to
them you might see them turn red
even to the roots of their hair.
| All deserve the highest conmenda.
tion for their successful efforts; and
it is to be hoped they will favor US
