An INTERESTING C4SE.
Conflicting Testimony About Demand
Made for The Correction OF a Report.

ROYDTON, VA, Jan. 29.-Special.-A
case attracting unusual interest was tried
in our County Court last Saturday. This
trial grew out Of a personal difficulty
between two depot agents of the Atlantic
and Danville railroad. over some freight
transactions. in which III. =. Gill, Jr..
agent at CHS station. charged r. T. Dan
iel. agent at Baskerville depot. with hav-
ing drawn a pistol on him in his own
office on the 9Th instant. and at the same
iel agent az Baskerville depot with nav

upon him by Daniel.
The grand jury at this term Of the court
indicted Daniel for an assault. Ii was
shown at the trial that there was no one
present when the difficulty occurred save
the two agents and their evidence was
very conflicting GIL testified that Daniel
demanded Of him. with drawn pistol
that he should make written correction
Of a report he had made TO the railroad
officials at Portsmouth. and that for fear
OF being shot he complied. Daniel denied
this charge and said he drew his pistol
To defend himself against the threats OF
Gill; who became very angry soon alter
getting into the Office.
The case was fully and ably argued by
counsel on both sides. the argument last

great interest felt in the trial was shown
by the large crowd of men in attendance,
many of whom lived several miles in the
country, who stayed to see the end. AT
10 o'clock the jury reported that they We're
unable to agree, whereupon the court dis
charged them. The jury stood seven for
acquittal and five for conviction. The
case was continued and Daniel bailed Tor

Theories Alout Protection From Gold.

Garments made from pure silk are ex-
ceedingly comfortable, but very expensive
Thin silk worn under flannel adds greatly
10 the protection afforded BY the latter
against chills. and likewise prevents the
unpleasant sensation Of friction. ThiA
flannel socks. worn under merino or
WOODEN ones, for d good remedy for cold
feet.
The principal conclusions to be drawn
from the foregoing paragraph may be
thus briefly stated:
l. AS a protection against cold. wooden
garments OF equal thickness are much
superior 10 linen or cotton, and should
always be worn for Undertaking. Furs
and leather are serviceab!e against great
cold ana especially against severe wind.
Waterproof clothing should be reserved
for very wet weather. and generally for
persons who are not taking exercise when
exposed 10 1t.
2. The value OF several layers Of cloth
Ing as compared with a single warm
garment, should be borne Ia mind. An
extra layer even Of thin material, next
the skin. Is often very valuable.
3. AS a protection against cold. a gar
ment should not iii closely 10 the body.
but should be comparatively loose and
easy. so that layer OF air Is interposed
between II and the skin. A loosely-woven
material is warmer than one of an oppo-
site character.
4. For wearing at night. wooden cloth
ing IS not generally desirable; cotton on
linen is far better. The blankets con-
stitute the wooden covering and ought tc
protect the body sufficiently.
5. Lastly. IL must always be remember.
ed that the source OF heat Is within the
body itself Proper food. coupled with
q due amount OF exercise. will produce
heat; the function Of clothing Is to re-
tain the heat thus generated-Nlneteenth
