RICHLAND.
[From the Delhi Chronicle.]
Our curiosity was excited last
Monday morning by the mysterious movements of a squad of armed men, who rode
into town and silently dispersed themselves about houses, closely scrutinizing
the features of the people, and upon inquiring what it meant, we were informed
that Dick Fuller had shot a man by the name of Truit on the day before, down on
Big Creek in Franklin, inflicting a mortal wound in the abdomen, from which we
learn he died on Monday night. They did not find the fugitive here, and we
presume he has made his escape.

FRANKLIN
[From the Sun, 19th.]
A coincidence of a
sad character has just occurred - a father, son, and daughter each lost
a child within a short period of time. The two former, Mr. Ed. and Wm.
O. Parker, buried their babes on the 15th instant, at the same time, and
the latter, Mrs. N. A. Wiggers on the 18th. The three families live in
different parts of the parish. No other burials occurred between them.
