" The Boy Ina Gray.

We have, with the compliments of
the author, Rev. Geo. q. Smith, ID. D.,
of Georgia, now in our town, a copy of
his latest book" The Boy in Gray
which we have read with much inter-
est and pleasure. This is charming
and highly interesting story of the war,
in which, though the characters are lic.
titious, the incidents are true. having
been witnessed by the author, who, dur
ing the war, was chaplain of Phillips
does not attempt to write history Of
the war, but his book is written in the
interest of peace, and that " Southern
boys and girls may see not only how
their fathers bore themselves in the war
and how grandly their mothers and sis
tiers tOiled at home, but how really no.

tain. From the White Sulphur, Lew
isburg and Sewel Roger writes inter
| ing letters to his mother and sister in
! Georgia, in which he tells of his I'M
pressions of this country and its peo-
pie, speaking in very complimentary
terms of the Lewisburg girls and peo-
ME generally by whom the GeorgianS
were so kindly treated during their
brief stay in our town. These letters
will re- call many incidents familiar to
the people here. The story of young
Lawson s life before, during and after
the war, with it's trials and it's triumphs
is most delightfully."- told in highly en-
PERTAINING, well-written narrative, the
end of which the reader reaches with
regret. The book presents many charm
ing pictures of social life in GeorgiS
before the war and describes with equa
accuracy and truth the trying expert
ences of the people at home during
those four dreadful years. DIR. Smith
is particularly happy in his occasional
use of the quaint dialects OF the Geor
ola Cracker and Southern plantation
negro with both of which he is thor
oughly familiar.

A DISTRESSING OCCURRENCE.-The
friends of S. l.. Slaven, Esq, one of the
most prominent citizens of Springfield
district, Monroe county, will lament to
learn that he attempted to commit sui
eide last Tuesday morning, July Sth,
by cutting his throat with drawing
knife. Mr.. Slaven has been in wretched
health for some time past, and his afliic-
tons eliminated in the arrangement of
his mind few weeks ago. He was adj
judged insane, and application was
made by the proper authorities for his
admission to the State Hospital at Spen.
has been obtained from the Superin-
tendent of that institution. Mr.. Slaven
seemed to be aware of his condition,
and was very anxious to go to Spencer.
He has been much disappointed and de-
pressed 10y the delay and his mental in
trinity consequently aggravated. Last
Tuesday morning his son found him in
the act of cutting his throat with a
drawIng-knife. He had already in
ilicted several severe gashes upon his
neck and throat when he was disarmed.
Physicians were promptly summoned,
and it was found that his injuries were
fortunately not dangerous. MIR. Slaven
and his family have the profound sym
pathy of our people. Monroe Watch
man.
Mr.. Slaven died on Friday morning
last from nervous prostration. He was
the father of our tOwnsman, Mr.. w. ID.
Slayen, and was about 60 years of age.
