WAR AMONG THE AMAZONS.
A Barc-Field Re-Joyce’s.
Female Charms verrt Female Arms.
Pjwelomi Baeefield) PEACE WARRANT,
▼s. > Before Hon. B. Johnson,
Many Joyce. ) J.P.,789 dist. G. M. .
Notwithstanding the truth that “it is
good for men—and women—to dwell to
gether iu peace and unity,” il not unfre-
quently happens that harmony is des
troyed by an aversion which some people
have for settling disputes suaviter in
and a decided preference for proceed
ing fortiler in re.
It would seem that little eccentricities
of this kind ought to bo confined to the
rougher sex, but sometimes the fair ones
will assert their right to participate
belligerent exercises, and when this is the
case, they demonstrate that glances of
the eye are not the only weapons which
woman can use with si riling effect
The calm peacefulness of last Sunday
was disturbed by a little miss-under
standing (but not mediating) between the
plaintiff and defendant in the above
stated case.
These gentle maidens have not been
friendly terms for sometime past. The
little Miss is Mollie Joyce, daughter of
defendant, of whom Mrs. 15. facetiously
remarked, in passing by her mother’s
house, that she was a “Shanghai.” She
also applied such epithets as “muffled
head," and indulged in such remarks not
very complimentary to Mrs. ,J. As to
the exact words of the discussion, the
witnesses differ, but tbe result was that
Mrs. Joyce playfully gave Mrs. Barefield
a blow with a stick, which brought her to
position somowhat less dignified than
“the ancient clcuic Caryatides attitude,”
in which Mrs. J. pleasantly pelted her
with bricks.
While thus engaged, she was reminded
by Mr. Goodman, who was passing, that
her conduct was somewhat irregular, to
which she replied by projecting a missile
’ t vo at him, which he avoided and went
1 his way.
During the triad, which took place last
Tuesday, Mrs. Joyce was anxious at
ral times to bo heard, but the court, by
M of its efficient constable, John A.
McElroy, succeeded in preserving order,
ac is elegant in quieting excited ladies.
The remarks of A. R. Brown, Esq., for
defendant were pointed and witty, and
Dupont Guerry, Esq., who concluded the
argument for plaintiff, did himself great
credit iu a pointed and elegant speech.
The court required Mrs. Joyce to give
a bond in the sum of $100, conditioned
to keep the peace toward all the good
people of tliis State, but especially to
ward Mrs. Barefield; upon which the de
fendant announced that she would see
the “wliolo chcbang sunk” liefore Rite
would do it.
We left it this stage of the proceedings,
but have been informed that when she
refused to give bond the court ordered
her to jail, and that upon Constable Bos-
wortli attempting to execute this order,
she forced her dentals into liis manuals
so sharply lie was compelled to call ii
help, and that the whole corps of officers
of the city found it difficult to manage
this rampant female.
We understand she was at length pre
vailed ujion to comply with the terms
prescribed by the conrt, and departed
peace. (?)
MSS** The proposed Railroad from New-
in to Americas is gaining many friends
. the counties through which it is to pass,
and no fears are entertained by any of
them that il it is undertaken in tbe right
spirit, the road will not be built Let our
people evince enough interest in the en
terprise and assist with their councils and
money, and the time will soon be when
our communications, with the grain grow
ing sections will be shortened and the
result bo apparent in the steady increase
of wealth among our people. This route
will save transportation in the round

A THRILLING INCIDENT
In tbe mission life of Mrs. Ingalls, in Bnrrnah, is
well told in the Baptist Messenger, relating how
she was .iont for tu visit ono of tho Buddhist
high priests, who had been nearly killed, and
how, while in the most holy place in their tem-
E le, where none but priests had never before
een admitted, aha was permitted nnrebukr J
ueo for him the sacred vessels, which non
tho high priest dare touch, and to even overturn
and sit on one of their gods to rest; all through
tho magic influence of the Pain Killer, called by
them the God Medicine, so succefafnlly had she
need it in curing their many .diseases, some of
them considered heretofore fatal*in that climate,
among which were cholera, liver complaint,
ayspepsia, the bites ot venomous reptiles, Ac.
This speaks volumes for the Pain Killer.—Lon

Rev. J. E. Clough, rfi«ai«i*sy at Ongole,
Southern ^ndia, wrili'a; ‘‘We esteem your Tain
Killer very highly for scorpion stings, Cholera
etc., and cannot very well do without it."

A destructive Are occurred at An-
deraonvillo on the night of the 18th, in
which several houses with contents were
destroyed. It originated in tho house of
Mr. B. Emanuel of this city, which was
occupied by Mr. R. L. Olive? as a dry
good store, anfl communicated to the
houses of Mr. Robinson, Berry Clarke
and Judge Dykes. We learn that Mr.
Oliver’s loss is estimated between 82,000
and $3,000, that of the other sufferera.not
heavy. The fire is supposed to be the
work of an incendiary.
