[Grecusboru (N. C.) Patriot.]
The venire being impaneled, and
the jury solemnly charged by the
clerk, the Commonwealth’s attorney
called in support of the indictment
the witness Buck Bryant, who, being
solemnly sworn the truth to tell, tes
tified as follows:
Questioned by the Commonwealth's
attjrney: Tell all you know* about
the cutting of the prosecutor by
Cassaday, tin; prisoner at the bar.
Answer: “Well, gentlemen, it was
election day—’twas a dark, cloudy,
wet - sort of a drizzly day, and says I
to my old woman, I believe I’ll go
down to Ringgold and ’posit my
vote; and says my old woman to
me, Buck, as it is a sort of dark,
cloudy, wet sort of a drizzly sort of a
day, says she, hadn’t you better take
your umbrella? Says I to the old
woman, I sped I had better take ins
ttmbril, and when I got down thar,
Mr. Cole corned, and says he, Uncle
Buck, have you seed anything of old
neighbor Harris? Says I to Mr.
Cole, for why ? Says he, lie’s got my
umbril. [The witness was here in
terrupted hv the Court, and>tohl to
confine himself to the actual fray be*
tween the prisoner and Gble, the
prosecutor], in answer to which, the
witness remarked in a tone of indig
nant remonstrance: “Well, not?,
Mr. Judge, you hold on, for I am
sworn to tell the truth,, and I’m
agwitte lo tell it my own way, so
’taint worth while for you to say
nothing more about it.” Whereupon
the Court and Commonwealth’s at
torney, being anxious to get rid of
the witness on any terios, told him
to go on and tell the tale in his own
way. “ Well, as I wan going to say,
’twas on ’lection day, Buchanan and
Filimo’ was runnitt’ for the Legisla
ture and says my old woman to me,
says she, Buck, as it’s a sort of a
dark, cloudy, rainy, damp, drizzly-
sort of a day, hadn’t you better take
your umbril? says she. Says I to
my old wotnai:, says I, I spect I had
better take my umbril; so I took my
umbril and advanced on towards
Ringgold tUl I ’rived thar. Well,
the first thing I did when I got thar
was to take a drink of Buchanan
whisky, which was monstrous good,
and says I to myself, says I, old
hoss, you feel better, don’t you ?.
And while I was advancing around;
Mr. Cole, he come to nte, and saysi
he. Uncle Buck, says he, have you
seen anything of our neighbor,
Harris ? Says I, for why ? Says he,
the old cock’s got my umbril. After
awhile, I ’posited my vote, and then
Mr. Cole and me advanced on toward
home, and Mr. Cole was tighter than
I ever seed him.
And so we advanced along till we
got to whar the road and path forked,
and Mr. Cole and me tuck the path,
as any other gentlemen would, and
after advancing awhile, we ’riv$d to
old- neighbor Harris, a, satin’ on a
log with the umbril under his arm,
and ’bout that time Elijah Cassaday -
(the prisoner) corned up, and we
advanced till we 'rived at Elijah’s
house. Elijah is my neffew, and
likewise, my spn-ht-law; he married
my darter Jan*, which is next to my
dear rially. After we laid advanced
to Elijah's house, wc 6tood in the
yard awhile a jawin’, and presently
two somebodys rid up on a In.ss,
which was Johnson, and Whitfield
Cassailay behind. Whitfield and
Kialt Cassaday being the same. Elijah-
.md Kiith is brothers, both bom in
the nat’nil way, like anybody rise’s
brothers ; no gals between-’em, ana .
both of-’em is about the same age,
especially Kiah, which are the young-

Mr. Cole got to cussin one another
altout? politix, and I advanced in the-
'IOU80 whar was Elijah’s wife, which'
is my darter Jane, which is nexPto
my darter Sally. Well, after a jawin .
awhile-with ’em, my little neffew says -
he to me, Uncle Buck, let’s ; go home.
Savsl, good, pop; so we pegged.on
together, and I heard somebody a
callin’ me, hut I never tentioned ’em,
nor advanced back; well, got home
and was eatin’ my supper, and Elijah,
whiih is my son-in-laW, and married -
my darter Sally, arrived; and says
‘e to me, Uncle Buck, says he, I’Ve-
killed a man. Says I, the hell you
have; and this is all I knoVv about,

At a recent meeting of the Phila •

Rfof. Win. Goodell, of the Univer

it eattsed among infants in hot -wea

gard to food, he said the infant, as ■
long as it thrives on it, should have
no other food than the mother's-milk
until it is a year old. If the mother,
has not milk enough, Ixe thought'
that in cities cow’s milk is-the best
substitute, and, ns most of the milk
sold in cities is apt to be diluted be
fore sold, he would not mix any more
water with it. It the milksis abso«
lutely known to be pure, then it
should be diluted one-fifth'and a little
sugar added to it, when .the nearest
approach to the mother’s milk ob
