ONE KILLED AND OTHER ESCAPED.
Particulars of the Killing of Strange Me-
gro over at Leesburg,

A Leesburg special says An un>
known negro was killed il this county
yesterday evening by posse composed
of G. A. Mcdonald, W. f. Smith and w.
II. Sanders There were two of them
together, and one in hiding. They were
thought to be part'of the crowd of ne
groes that committed the deed near
Baintridge against the Oglerees, as the
description of II em fitted these two
Mr.. G.. A. Mcdonald discovered them
in the lower part of the county, near the
Dougherty county line, hiding in the
woods He came Immediately to Lees
burg to report the matter TO the sheriff,
or deputy sheriff, but neither Of them
could be found, and Mr.. Mcdonald was
advised to get up posse and arrest the
two negroes. He got M. W. Z. Smith
and MI. w. II. Sanders to accompany
him to the place where the negroes were
last seen, but when they reached the
place they found the "birds had flown.
They took up the trail and followed
them until they overlook them and at
TEMPTED their arrest, when the negroes
showed fight, drawing their pistols, The
posse drew their own pistols and shot
one of the negroes dead, the other two
getting away in the swamp.
Nobody has been found that is able to
identity either the living or dead negro
The coroner of the county summoned
a Jury and went out to the place and
held an inquest last night, which result
ed in a verdict that the deceased came to
his death by gunshot wounds inflicted

out and shows the unhappy Ahu lying
drowned upon rock.
The models which have been most
congenial to the talent of Signor Man
cinelli are those to be found in the mod
ern Italian school One has no great
difficulty in recognizing the influence OF
both Verdi and Boito in various parts
of the score. In some Of the harmonic
sequences and in the love duet OF Act l,
there are also evidences Of the influence
of Mascagni, though it must be said
that the melodic qualities OF the music
do not show any traces OF the control OF
this composer or of Leoncavallo, who
might easily make himself dominant III
the mind Of any COntemporaneous COM
poser not gifted with marked lndlvld-
uality. The influence of the clever Mey-
erbeer, who has held his own In the
traditions of operate construction In
both France and Italy up to the present
time, is noticeable only in the ground
plan of the second act, in which there
are some of the spectacular features
originally designed by that genius Of
theatrical effect for the delectation OF
the volatile Parisians.
If. however, any one composer is to
be pointed OUT as Gignor Mancinelli' &
model, it is Boito, for whom in his
music he evinces a special partially.
This is to be found IN the color of most
Of the solo parts, in the treatment Of
the harp and in the writing Of the
ensembles To this, however, one eXcep-
ton must be made. The fugue in
chorus at the close of the second act is
the result undoubtedly Of the COM
poser's admiration for the splendid
mastership shown in the score of Verdi s
"Falstaff . which the music lover will
remember ends with a piece of strict
polyphonic composition. But, as already
said, the voice of Boito has sung most
wooingly in the ear of Signor Mancinel-
Ii. Probably the experienced opera goer
will most readily recognize it in the
trumpet fanfare used to announce the
approach Of Ariopharnes a passage
which will easily call to mind the
trumpet phrase heard III the prologue
of "Mefstofele These structures must
not be construed as meaning that there
is nothing in the score Of the new work
but thoughts taken from the operas Of
other men. The similarity is in the style
only, the melodies are Signor Mancinel-
lis own, and most of them are graceful
and poetic.
The choral parts and the ensembles
are we'll made, and the orchestration is
always rich in eloquent combinations of
color, in which the harp provides the
most uncommon tints, chiefly through
its skillful employment as the founda-
ton of the harmony in unexpected
places The vocal parts are written with
the Judgment of an experienced conduct
or, who might be expected to know
what would sing WELL and there are
therefore numerous opportunities for
the soloists to win that applause with
out which existence on the operatlC
stage would be but an idle waste Of life.
On the whole, the music, while not re-
markable for invention, is pleasing,
well made and creditable to the com
poser and it has the singular merit OF
being always in keeping with the gen
erai character of the scene and the &C

Soiling possesses % many advantages
over pasturaSe. especially whore dairy

plated, that every dairyman should
carefully study the question Of adopt

upon the supply. character. and cost Of

Careful experiments have demonstrated
that by feeding cows entirely on green
