A Freak of Lightning.
Saturday afternoon, during the
storm, lightning struck one ol the
houses hack of Capt. Bell's place,
on College Hill. It went down the
chimney tinder the house, killing
Ihree nr four chickens and setting
lire to the house. The lire was
soon put out. The house was oc
cupied by negroes, a few of the oc
cupants being considerably stun-
wed.
Killed by Whiskey.
On Monday morning, as Capt.
0. W. Felder was going to bis
plantation about nine miles south
"f Amcrieus, be bailed a negro
titan he met and asked him to pul 1
-nine I'odder for him. The negro
refused ou aeemmt of the death of
t* child of his. On inquiry, the
particulars were told, and they are
peculiar enough for repetition.
Saturday the negro was in town,
and took home with him a twenty
cent Ilottle of whiskey. Monday
morniug he opened the trunk where
was the whiskey to got out some to
bacco,at the same time warning the
'"•y to keep out. W.tcn he came
i>aek an hour nr two later the child
was dead drunk, and shortly after
went into spasms, from which it
never recovered. About half the
whiskey was gone.
An Attempt u t UurKlury.
Monday morning a negro went
into Ueo. Turpin's store, bought a
melon, and went to the back door
to demolish it. One of the back
windows is fastened by a lock and
hey, and is rarely opened. The
hev hang in tbe lock, anti the
negro, seeing it, quietly plucked it
and walked out. Mr. Walters, one
ol the clerks, came back and looked
around to see If anything was mis
ting, as is his custom, lie saw tlm
hey was gone, and suspected where
it was. He hail one made during
the day, ami when he closed up lie
put it in the lock. The police were
notified, and Bud Wheeler went on
guard. He was relieved in an
hour or two by Wick Wheeler, who
had not liecn watching long when
the negro appeared. As he was in
tbe act of trying the lock a noise
wai mode in the second story, when
he drop|>ed into s window pit near
by, where Wheeler nabbed him,
and carried him to the guard bouse.
He is a strange aegro, and lias not

among the people. There is no
point within the bounds of tbe dis.
tricl nt which the lorumtion of a
new school is recommended. If
not already organized,it is thought
the territory and population around
Ml. Vernon, in the 17th district,
warranted the establishing of a
school.
Messrs. R. B. Gloss and J. H.
Black, from the old 26lh, be*

hood of tlie old Broodfield mill,
where a church has recently been
erected under the control of the
Freewill Baptists. Rev. James Du
pree, pastor. This excellent com-
mnnity desired a Sunday school,
and deeply lamented tlie absence of
of its wholesome influence. Tlm
present hindrance is the lack of a
willing leader. He can and will be
found, if tlte Sunday school workers
contiguous will hut act in concert,
keeping in view tlie Into advance
ment of the cause.
Mr. Joe Ulover gave an encour

school in bis clistict, the new 2f,tli;
Shiloh, Win. Pilcher, superintend

man, superintendent; and Concord,
of which he is himself siqicrintend-

tlie removals of his membership,
and tlie want of inlorcst on tbe part
of others, lie now is enabled to re
