At the appointed hour the beggars ot

compelled the beggars to strip off

In the old clothes thus collected

the second 100 pounds, deduct 12i ;
for the third 100 pounds, deduct 6 ;
all over the third hundred is net .
The net weight of a hog weighing 100
pounds gross is 75 pounds ; a hog of
150 gross will net 11 8J; of250gToss,
206 net ; and a hog, the grosa weight
of which is 300, will net 256 J pounds.
From the g ross weight of a hog which
goes over 300, only 44 pounds is de
ducted, even should the weight be 400
The rule, if correctly stated, may be

IlatUjn, a white man living in "Gum
Swamp," in the southwestern iiortion
of' the county, shot, and probably fa
tally wounded his uncle, Maxwell Hat
ton, on account of a quarrel about
cattle. Our informant states that the
younger Batton went out into his
woods Monday rooming and drove up
a herd of cattle, which he put into
his farm pen. Maxwell Batton, his
uncle, whose residence is about a quar
ter of a mile from his nephew's house.
ascertained that some of the cattle
driven np by his nephew were his (tho
uncle's) proiiertjv
He' accordingly went over to his
nephew's house and ordered a colored
boy to turn hia cattle out of tbe pen,
that he might drive them home. His
nephew became enraged at this, and
rucking up bis gun. which had been
concealed behind a post, told bis uncle
to Go back? a oL b , or he
would send him liome," Tbe old man
not heeding this threat, Batton dia-
cbaroed one barrel of bis gun. loaded
with back-shot, at his ancle, the charge
entering hia body just above tbe right
hip. The old man fell to the ground,
when the bloodthirsty wretch walked
up to him and' discharged the other
barrel of his gun, loaded with bird
shot, in his face. The wounded man
was taken up and carried to his home,
but bis condition was considered hope
less, and he is probably dead at thi
time. -'.'''-..'
A son-in-law of the elder Batton
applied to a justice, whose term of
office had expired, for a warrant for
the arrest of the murderer. He was
sent to another justice, and it is pro
bable the man has been arrested, al
though he hatl not been np to an early
hour yesterday morning.
We are informed tuat uatton s wue
ran out into the yard after the first
shot had been fired, and implored her
husband not to shoot again. He told
her he had " shot the s of a b ,"
and would shoot her if b didn't go

It is many years since I fell in love
wilii Jane Jeruha Skeggs, tho hand

went on legs. By meadow, cm k,attd
wood and dell, so often did we walk,
and the moonlight milled on her melt
ing lij, and the night wind b anted
our talk. JaiM Jrusha was all to
me, for my in-art u young anl true,
and loved with a doubled and twisted
love, and a love that was honest too.
I roamed all over th ncighlors farm,
and I robins the wild wood lwer",
and tore my trousera and scratched
my hand in search of tit choicest
flowers. In my Joyous love I brought
these to my Jerusha Jane; but I
wouldn't Im- ao foolih now, if I were
a loy again. A city chap then came
along, all dressed up in fine clothes
with a shiny hat and a shiny vent, and
a moustache under his noae. He talked
Lto her of Ringing schools (for her
father owned a farm) and she left me,
the country 1'ive, and took the new
chap's arm. And all night I never
slept, nor could I eat next day, for I
loved that girl with a fervent love that
naught could drive away. I strove
to win her back to me, but ft was all
in rain ; the city chap with the hairy
lip married Jerusha Jane. And my
-poor heart was sick and nor until th
thought strnck me, that Just aa good

girl. And many years have past and
