I on ly want to say a few words, which I hope may be of some interest.. At this place is u small Grog Shop, owned by a Mr. Treudaway. On Tuesday night, one week ago. Tread- away, I believe he is called “Mage” Treadaway, and Frank White met in the ticker shop and engaged in a game of ourds. About 2 or3 o’clock it seems one or the other became winner of a small amount, whereup on u disagreement sprung up, and finally ended in a desperate fight— White being cut in thirteen places, and died I think the second day. Treudaway is yet tunning a*, large. An inquest wus held, und to the ut ter astonishment of all intelligent people, a verdict, was made, and made to read ‘ a justifiable homicde.” The man (White) lives at thu line, only a few. steps in Alabama, but the gambling und fighting occurred in Georgia. Mr. While leaves a wife and 7 children. On the same day Mr. Jim Reed was arrested for hog steuliug; tried before Peter O. Rlunkenship and found guilty, and failing to give bond he was lodged in jail. From all accounts there is 75 to 100 hogs been missed in this neighborhood in the last 4 or 5 years. Many heads and skins being found, but no clew ae to who did it until his last theft. Our Sheriff should be more vigilant, especially in this, the 17th distric 1 , and try to put a stop to the gniub ling about this place. It is ulmust an every day occuraence, but done so sly that it is almost an impossi bility co detect them. It is earnest- ly hoped by every man in this dis trict that Sir. Reed will be allowed to, serve Ills time as the law may direct, and that no one will take him out, but let the law take its course. Also, that-our Sheriff endeavor to arrest the said Mage Treadaway, the mur- dererof Frank White This is not written in any rnali e ex isting between me and either of ebe parties, but in simple justice lo the law.

Thjyty years ago the books which nude up our Sunday-school libraries Were dull b«*yond belief. They repelled rather than attracted, not because they were.moral in tone, but because they lacked sympathy and interest. The writers were good people, und imbued with the best of motives^but they seemed to forget that children required Altogether different litefary pabulum from grown people. The resut wus what might have expeoted. The books which ought to have at tracted them Were discarded for sen* national stories whose literary style was execrable and whose moruls Were always doubtful. Ons of the first book publishing houses in the coun try which attempted to reform this condition of things was that of I). Loihrop &*Co. Mr. Lothrop- had long believed in the possibility of n pure and elevated stundard of litera ture for the young, which should combine talent of « high degree*with inoral and religious teaching,, and which, in addition to these qualifi cations, should be blight, sharp and entertaining. It required determi nation, courage and money to Carry, out this idea, hut it was carried out, aud tq*day Mr. Lothrop stands ut the head of a house which publishes m »re an l better books for juvenile and young people’s reading thu i a iy other in ,4 lie country. Tho best tiTuilable talent is secured, und the dress in which his books appear is is uitEurpassed for and durability. Many publishers exhaust themselves in b:inging out a single illustrated juvenile for the holidays, while this firm offers p"ihttps a dozen, ejjuully attractive, and immensely superior to" the reproduction of English juven ile publications with which the book market is flooded during the holiday season. Of the works lately published by this house in the special juvenile list, the four Wide Awake Pleasur* Books, “A,” “B,” “0” and “D,’’ ar< prominent. They are as seasonable one time as another, and will be a perpetuul pleasure to young readers. Sunshine for Bubvland, Mother 1 Boys and Girls, Our Darlings, and Little People, the lust three by “Pansv,” also appear in the same catalogue, and with a score or more others are brought out in illustrated board covers. The books which are now prepar ing in the 8un.e popular style, make a long and attractive catalogue. Chief umong them is Wide Awake Pleasure Book “E,” which is un nouncid to be ready for the trad- August Id’. It will contain a large number of dslighlfu! stories aud poems by Jwell known authors, splendly illustrated. Among the con tents are Sophie May’s “Sol iron’b .Seal,” Child Marion’s adventures in Rome. Venice and Vienna poems by Celia Thaxter,, Mrs. Whlto t, R.

Thepiuno pupil of the present day finds difllou 1 ties enough in his way towards the achievmont of even moderate success in his art to tax his best powers and to occupy most of his time for years, but if the Lon- dun Musical Standard is correct in predicting that a piano recently in vented is to become the piano of* the future, the pianist of the luture will find his task a far greater one. This new instruments is provided with a second key board, the scale of which runs in an inverse direction ‘from that of the usual ord *r; that is, it ascends from right to left. *Tbe ob* j .’Ct of this second key * board is to facilitate the playing of passages that now require the erasing of tho hands, instead cf which .opera’.bn the second set * f notes arc tj be used, the hands thus playing apart from each other. An ascending passage of the left hand, for instance,‘is play ed on the old stylo k”) board to al most the center of the piano, then eon tin tied .by playing backiv.ud or. the other b. uni, ami an with passa ges for the rigid, hand. The iuc.ea sed power thus given to I ho oiun iu »!»•• ix -ciitnm of difficult! and quiet tones are fashionubb music is obvious, but the coi respond ing difficulty of learning to tt.se it with advantage will he discouraging to many already skillful pianists. It requir* s, for instance, a triple score, aud the coniusiou of playing alter nately backward and* forward will be something requiring much pa tience to become accustomed to. The new instrument is a French in vention.—Boston Advertiser. FASHION ITEMS. Dark silks are lavored in the inuking up of mixed oustomes. -Dress goods pres nt a smooth sur face, with bright colors delicately intermixed. Serges for general wear come in black, showing also pretty browns and grays. Fashion favors the plush black shades, except (or deep mourning, wnen Ac ebonyhued silks are pre ferred. Additional iffeot is given to the new suitings by the introduction of ‘invisible” checks or plaids. Their sombre shadowings in the midst of grey colors are very pretty. Lnminee fringes are very beauti ful; they are made of silk twist flat tened the whole length between hot rollers. The flambeau fringes are much admired; the strands are only pressed at intervals of an eighth of uu inch, the interventing spaces be ing of the natural texture of the >wist. Great care should be taken in ar ranging costumes formed of mixed goods; and in selecting such goods hs have gray colors, be particular to consult wlmt tints suit your com- pleviou. A costume may bo rich but inappropriate to the wearer, und hence tho toilet will be grotesque in «fleet. Where a costume or garment is trimmed with fur, the muff is gen erally of the same material ornamen ted with bands of fur to match. This style of muff will not take the lead. All kinds of fur will lie worn, but the preference next season will be given to seal something like cash mere. Party silks are very brilliant, and include both pule aud very decided dyes; the latter may be said to tuke the lea 1, and particularly iu the con- 'stru'o ion of combination auits for j party wear.

A reporter, who recent ly interviewed a miner, was told that he could always tell when danger was ahead by seeing the lanterns burn low and blue. After waveing and flickering for a few days the flame would tuper out and point at the man whom (lunger threatened, and however the man might move about, the fl ime would follow him until he was killed by some appar ently sudden accident, when the light would go out. “There’s more iu a candle flame than people think,’ siid the old miner. “I’d rather seek a cocked revolver pointed at me than a candle fl.une; a revolver sometimes misses, but a candle flame is sure to kill when it starts tow ard a man.” oouqtry over.

Eaoh is of a descrip tion totally different from the other two, and all three have a distinct character of their own. The Jew ish is the only nutiouul nnso now re maining; the Greek and thu Roman are occasionally reproduced among other nations, but us national cliur- uoteristios exist no longer. That the ancient Jews nltuched no slight importance to this feature is evident from Leviticus xxi. 18, whero “he that hath a flat nose” is ranked with the blind und the lumr, the crooked- backed, tile scurvy and the scabbed, and is furbidden to take part in the service of the sanctuary. The Greek nusr hits come down to us in the Greek sculptures, and certainly ac cords better with onr uortheru ideas of personal beauty than any other. Seen in profile the outline ib almost a continuation, without curve or dc viation, of tho outline of tho fore head, and would seem, phrenological- ly considered, quite in harmony with the unparalleled progress of the Greeks in art, science aud philosophy. Amoug the moderns the perfect Greek nose is extremely rare, srfve on the oanvas of our painters. The Roman nose is tho very incarnation ol the idea of oombativeness, and suggests the notion that it wus hor rowed from a bird of prey.
