A certain officer one day this
week arrested a negro with an old
flint-lock, unloaded musket. It is
said it was amusing to notice the
white of the negro’s eyes, as he
rolled them with surprise, when
the officer approached him with a
warrant for his arrest, charging
him with bastardy. Now, if he
could have looked downiu the bar
rel of Tecumbse, he might have
challenged the officer to a footrace.

is dead—peace to his ashes. No
deadly disease arrested Fid in his
mortal career; no highwayman
rushed suddenly upon him, but,
like Tray, in the blue back speller,
he came to his end as a result ot
being found in bad company. He
was bitten by a dog supposed to
be rabbid, and his kiod master had
him killed to prevent the terrible
dis*eae of hydrophobia from spread

Two-Forty speaks on the incor

nal believes, the move is in the ■
right direction. If it don’t improve !
the town, it can’t possibly injure it.
Some find objeciion on account of
some inclosed streets. If business
demanded these streets would have
to be opened whether the town was
incorporated or not, and it is not
likely incorporation will interfere
with their inclosures just now.
