ty of Murder.

board has settled the fate of another
condemned murderer. 1t unan-
imously refused any clemency in the
case of Lewis Youag, of Mcdowell
county, convicted of the murder of
Anthony Kell.
Young's case was a peculiar one.
and his conviction settles the fact
that the killing of an innocent by

kill another is murder in the first de-
gree. Young had had quarel with
"A man named Lu M Whitiock over a
girl, and drawing "A pistol threatened
TO kill him. The pistol was taken
from him, but Young produced
another one, but before he could
use Vt Whitlock hit him over the
head with beer bottle. Whitlock

chester rifle, and went in search of
his enemy, declaring he would shoot
him on sight.
He found large crowd gathered
on the street and yell d, II am going
TO kill some nigger---Some
one tried to persuade him TO &c
home, telling hm Whitlock had
gone, but Young suddenly fired into
the crowd, killing Anthony Kell,
who was one of his personal friends.

SnW MIL Burned.

On last Friday afternoon the large
saw mill plant. the finest in south
west Virginia, of the Chilhowie Lum-
ber Co., located in Poor Valley, was
entirely DESTROYED by fire. The loss
is said To be about S25, 900. The fire
originated in the boiler room. This
company has been operating in Poor
Valley about three years and during
this time have suffered other reyer-
Ses and losses by foods, and this
last disaster is therefore of serious
import to the company. We under
stand that the company will proceed
at once TO rebuild.

Mother es Pearl.

The most beautiful mother of
pearl, unless that of the obalone be
excepted, is obtained from the nau-
titus, which is a cephelon and relat-
ed to the cuttlefsh. Occupying only
the mouth of its dwelling, the lat
ter is composed of series of empty
chambers, each of which the animal
has spccessively lived in and vscat-
ed as it grew bigger, building up be-
hind it at each move a wall of pur-
est pearl
These vacant rooms Of pearl are
all connected by a pneumatic tube,
which enables the creature to so
control the air supply to its house
as to make the domicile lighter or
heavier at will, in order to ascend
or descend in ths water. The shell
b too thin to bear grinding, and so
muriatic acid is used to remove the
outer coat and disclose the exquisite
nacre beneath.

commonly large appetite, and it is
told Of him that whenever he stop

host was not familiar with the
greatness of his hunger he would
order dinner for three.
Upon one occasion he gave his or
der for three as usual, and when the
hour for dinner arrived he called
to his host:
