A private letter from a gentle man located at .Livingston, Montana Territory, gives the particulars of the affair. A few miles from Livingston there are a number of hot springs, the waters of which are said to possess qualities that enable them to success fully grapple with diseases of a rheu matic nature. Mr. Conkllng visited these springs and decided to take a bath. The number of the attendants at the springs is limited, and for that reason bathers are compelled to fill tbe tubs for themselves, Mr. Conkling being no exception to the general rule. The gentleman " from New York, however good a statesman he may be. is not posted in the workings of a first class bathing establishment. The water boils from the Montana Springs at a tern pei ature of 20Q degrees Fahrenheit, and it cannot be used for bathing pur poses unless permitted to cooL The great statesman did not know this, so after he had filled his tub he imme diately disrobed and sat down in the boiling water. He did not remain long in the tub. He straightway arose, and the Western wilds resounded with many words not heard at a Sunday school. It was a terrible experience. Ill 1MYB WITH A WEGRESS.

All AheataGoeee. Yesterday morning a well known farmer of Mecklenburg came Into the city and bunted up a lawyer, before whom be unburdened himself. A party of Charlotte boys passed by Us house on affteinlng excursion the day before and shot "one of his gooeesT dead by the roadside, within fifty yards of his house. . He gave the lawyer the names of the parties, with instructions to bring them before the Jaferior Court, and make them pay f.viieir wanton fun. The lawyer forthwith had the ease en tered on the State docket It will be an interesting ease, a regular puzzler. There were seven boys in the back, and while passing by this farmer's house, they say, one of the party saw what he supposed to be a Jay bird in a tree. He raised his gun and fired, and being a good marksman, he downed his game. It not being an eatable bird, it was left laying where it fell. The farmer came along a few momenta afterwardsand picked up a dead goose that was shot through the bead. He charges the young man with killing the goose, and the young man positively denies shoot ing anything but , tke jay. Now the question for the court to decide Is whether a geose will go up in an oak tree to get acorns, and if so, bow could seven men be so deceived as to think it was a jay bird, Outsiders differ greatly in their opinions of the case, and one man, who is strongly in sympathy with the boys, says that he knows of a young man who boasts having killed a duck up a hickory tree eating hickory nuts The Southern Telegraph Cesay ; The new telegraph company had a brisk day yesterday. One of our mer chants sent a message to Richmond and received a reply - within ten minutes from the time it left the' office here. Our cotton and - commission men were supplied every few minutes during the day with the New Tork and Chicago stock reports. Our people are well pleased: with 'the new, company and that it will get the bulk of the tele graphic business of Charlotte 4s plainly seen.. The Southern company, by the way; has perfected arrangements with the Bankers and Merchants telegraph company, of New Tork, for an -additional one million dollars and Its wires will be run at once to New Orleans, Galveston and f Chicago. They will shortly have 10,000 miles of wire strung through the country. ' : rTever Saw Oae Before.

The facts are these: I challenged Capt McSmith, also Mr Geiger, Captain of the club, to play at once, the next day, or at time and place they would name, but they both de clined the challenge and refused to set any time. Capt McSmith said further more that he did not expect he could play us again this season. n : I am directed by the club to say that we now challenge the McSmith nine to play us at any time. I am further di rected to say that we will accept a chal lenge rrom any ciun in tne state com posed of North Carolina players, to Slay us a game of ball at Raleigh during le State Fair, with this exception, we will allow Mr McSmith to retain his Atlanta Fltcher and Catcher.
