JL.R. Marshall, wandered away from her home on the Poplar Grove plantation, 4n Adams coHnty, oo Thursday of last week, and had been missing ever since. On Wednesday of this week, her body was found not far from Iter home, and it had been partially eaten by the dogs and buzzards. The womanjwas very old, perhaps tatweeneighty and ninety years of age, and was elso partially in-sane. It is supposed that -she wandered'eff into the woods ad being unable fi'otn the infirmities of age to get back, died from 8tuivation and exposure.

We understand that Justice Baker, acting coroner, who held an iuquest on the body, will make a sirlet investigation into the matter with the view of ascertaining whether anybody Is responsible for her wandering away to Her death.

At the recent military encampment at Natchez, or the sum of $598, a privilege to sell Intoxicating liquors was given to a certain party by the Laasdowne Park Stock Co, A license to sell HquorSs only legal when given by the proper ciyil authorities. It was taken for granted this act of privilege of the Paris Association would pass uncontested, as is aid to have beea the case previously. But Natchec, the beautiful City of Bluffs, fairest in the State, has a new citizen in the secretary of the Y.

M. C. Mr. Geo. Lipscomb, of Columbus.

He contested the right of the Ltusdowne Park Association to license the sale of liquors, and he succeeded in arresting the sale by the party taking eut the privileges though liquor was sold on the encampment grounds in defiance of the law, and we understand the sellers were encouraged in this violation of the laws ef the State by certain wealthy citizens who pledged themselves to pay their fine. A tirade of opposition and ridicule was peo-red ou on brave George Lipecemb. lie was threatened with an egging if he came on the Park grounds; he ap peared there with his usual cheerful smile and cordial greeting for his many soldier friends; and bis funeral notice on the doors of the Y. M. C.

A. rooms, which were found draped in blaca one morning had no terrors for him. Gen. Henry expressed his wish that no liquor should be sold on the ground. Said, once he would have agreed, but 8am Jones has converaed him to a new and better way of thinking.

The Captain of the Columbus company seconed Gen. Henry's wish, saying he had promised the parents of his boys tore-turn them to their homes as pure as be had brought them away, which be could not do if liquor was sold cn the ground and it Is said the whole battallion sustained their General. Yet in order that a few men might have heavier pockets, in order that a few more men might yield an arbitrary power in the face of a declared wish to the contrary on the part of their commander, the occasion of a pleasant reunion of the young men of the State was converted into a temptation; and many manly forms, debased, we hear, were screened oni public view in the guard heuse; and what is as bad tbey were taught a lesson of defiance to legal authority By their sailors, citizens of wealth and position, whose pride and honor, it is as sumed, would be to respect and sustain the laws of the commonwealth that pro tects them. The heroism of deeds like Mr. Lips- corub's and moral courage like Gen.

Henry's acquire an added grandeur in a city or county, which, in their local option election gave but 75 votes for "ne license;" Mississippi rejoices in such men, and hopes to grow stronger for our State because we live in it. It is hard to comprehend that public sentiment in a city like Natchez should be so far below the horizon ef this day's vision as to tolerate a custom already relegated to "times of ignorance." The Rainfall for July. During the month of July just ended there were rainfalls on eighteen days, the precipitation ranging in quantity per day from .01 to 2.UU inches. The total rainfall on the eighteen days ag gregated 7 Inches and 94-100ths of an inch, which is we think greater than the meteorological records usually show. A season ef dry weather now is something greatly to be desired, and we hope we we may have it right away.

Jm. Worthy Children' Magazene. "Our Little Ones and the Nursery," by far the best publication extant for those of tender years, has again come to our table, and is a most acceptable visitor. Its table of contents and handsome illustrations cannot fail to entertain, enlighten and amuse the little folks, and all ef them should insist on having a copy of it. It is issued by the Russell Publishing 36 Broom field street, Boston, and costs only a dollar and a half a year.

A Great Purifier. Everything has its usqs, and while we are disposed to cofnplaln at the frequent rainstorms and their usual accompaniments of thunder and lightning, they may, after, all, be of no little advantage. An exchange thus elegantly andvbeautlfully writes it up: "Electri-eitjjjevolved by nature is a wide dispenser of blessings and coolness, and its fireworks and clamor are to be welcomed after the sweltering beat of a humid day. First comes the thickening of the air, then lead-colored clouds gather, then reddish vapors with rugged arms reach downward and seem to grasp at the earth suddenly a burst of wind drives from the sky, there Is a Hash and a crash, the rain hurries like mist In the rush of the storm, all the elements wrangle in common uproar together; then suddenly there is calm, through a rift in the clouds the slanting sunshine streams, the odor of wet fields Is on the air, a delicious coolness has succeeded the burning oppression of the day and the thunder storm is over. Lightning produces ozone, nature's greatest purifier; rain washes the streets and frees the air from poisonous dust, and no greater blessing than a daily thundcY storm could be asked during this burst of tropical weather.

He further said that when Sullivan entered into a compact of fighting Kllraln, he understood that the ground would be In the Slate of Louisiana and it was not untij the night before the figlit that the place of fighting was changed to Mississippi and Sullivan did not really know until at the ring-side that he was In the State of Mississippi. He did not change the ground and he had no Intention of breaking the law, and he had no alternative but lo light or become a poltroon. Sullivan is now willing to go back in charge of Deputy Sheriff Chiles as soon as that officer desires. Assistant District Attorney McDonald then took a receipt from the the deputy sheriff for the body of John Sullivan, who was then handed over to Detective Adams. Sullivan will leave for Mississippi to-night.

BOlllTau Knocked OutOoe Time. New York, Aug. 1 All the fight seemed to have gone our of Sullivan when he reached headquarters again after the surrender in court. He said If 1 had known that there was a law against lighting in Mississippi I would not have fought there; I would not have made myself liable to arrest. Well I will go back and take my medicine." He chewed the end of his cigar and continued.

"Anyhdw I would have fought that fellow Kiliain it I was goaded to it. The whole gang would have walked all over nie if I had not licked him. I suppose I'm a scape-goat now for doing it, and Kllraln will go free. Poor fellow, but they don't want him, he's licked." Three-quarters of an hour after Sul livan's arrival at headquarters and he was ready fur his trip, and the police' board granted six days leave of absence to the detective Sergeant Thomas Adams to go along with him to Richburg. Sul livan after shaking hands with Inspector Byrnes was transferred to the keeping of Agent Chiles, of Mississippi, who made out a receipt for the livestock as fol-laws: "I received from Inspector Byrnes the body of John L.

Sullivan, surrendered under order of the supreme ceurt. (Signed) F. Chiles, "Agent." The Application Smothered. New York, Aug. 1 A special from Boston says: Sullivan's application for a license for an exhibition with Muldoon here has been smothered by the alder-manic committee on license.

The committee consists of Aldermen Kelly, Stacy and Folsona. Alderman Foleoui was asked to-day why he and his colleague Stacy rejected, the application. "I was at West Point week ago," he said, "and there I met a well-known citizen of Mvylund, a gradute of West Point who 87 years of years. He learned that I whh from Boston, and the old gentleman said that he bad known the Boston ef Webeter, Dexter and Everett and that It was his belief that Boston had gone from brains to blaitallty." This was Alderman Folsom's explanation of the refusal to permit Sullivan to appear in public in Boston. The News Received at Jackson.

The Party Leave New York. New York, Aug. 1 At 2 o'cleck the party accompanied by Mike Cleary and Win, Muldooil started for the Vauder-bilt Ilotel where they packed up Sullivan's clothes In preparation for the journey. Now that Sullivan Is sure to go to Mississippi quite a number of his friends and backers In this town are growing worried over the state of affairs. The fate of Sullivan may be their fate bofore many moons, and they are wondering what the next move of Gov.

Lowry will be. They are at preieut an unhappy lot ef sporting men. Now if, according to this law, it is possible to extradite Sullivan it is equal- noise will be made when they -commence riveting the pipe later on. Plenty of Corn and Kay.

The Board of Aldermen at its meeting yesterday granted the Adams Light Infantry permission to use the room on the ground floor of the Opera House, in the rear of Tax Collector Arrighi's officer for an armory during the pleasure of the Board. We understand that it is the purpose of the company fo Improve, repair and beautify the room and make it as attractive as possible. It is very eligible for an armory and as the city is not asing It, either for school or other purposes, nobody wilkflnd fault with the board's action.

Not Making- Rapid Progress. Mr. T. J. Nlcholl, president of the "Little Railroad and general man ager of the N.

O. tells us that progress is not being so rapidly made in the widening of the "Little gauge between Harriston and Natchez on account of the dilatory manner in which the necessary materials are being delivered. He now thinks that it will be somewhere between the first and fifteenth of September next before standard guge cars will be running over the Ipe be tween Natchez and Harriston. Mr. Nicholl left by the afternoon train yesterday on his return to Memphis, and had no other railroad news to impart than that given above.

The two handsome horses of Phoenix No. 7 were brought in off the pasture yesterday, having fully recovered, it is thought from the ailment with winch tney naa oeen amictea. Tbey -were beautiful olacks when they were sent out, but now they are so sun-burnt that they look brown. They will, however, soon take on their black coats again. In connection with this matter we understand that the question of purchasing another horse for Protection No.

to supply the place Tommie Junkins, which died some time since, will probably come before the Board of Aldermen at its meet ing to be held to-morrow (Thursday) afternoon. We believe it is generally understood amongst the members of the board that they will get another fire de- partment horse later in the season. Admitted to the Department. At a meeting of the Natchez Fire Department and Charitable Association held on Monday evening, the application of Eagle Hook and Ladder Co. No.

2 to become a member thereof was received and favorably acted upon. It has long been the desire of some of the mem bers of the Hook and Ladder to go into the association, but from first one cause and then another they failed to do so. The company now, however, is on a firia and solid basis and they will be able to enjoy all the benefits and advantages that will oc crue from a membership of the assocla- tion. The Natchez Fire Department and Charitable Association is now made up of three companies, Protection Steam Fire No. 3, Phoenix Independent Steam Fire No.

7 and Eagle Hook and Ladder No. 2, and we will venture the assertion that that association it most efficient department for its size in the United States. A Boy Kills His Father.

J.

W. Grilling, and old farmer and citizen of Claiborne county for many years, was shot and instantly killed. From what can be learned of this sad affair, it appears that Ed. Grif-fing, youngest son of the deceased, a youth of eighteen years, was annoyed by a thief who had made several attempts to break into the house, and upon golug to bed he took his double: barreled shot gun charged with small shot in bed with htan, as to be ready for the burglar. During the night a wind and rain storni came up and blew his room door open.

His father thinking him to be asleep got up to close the door, and while in the act was fired upon by his son only a few steps distant. The charge of shot entered the ribs on the left side and came out at the left nipple, causing instant death." North Americas Review. The North American Review for August, is a very brilliant and iutexest-lng number. Gov. James A.

Beaver, Pennsylvania discusses "The Money Sent to Johnstown," and commends very highly the generosity of the people of the Nation, who poured millions of dollars int the decimated Conemaugh Valley for the relief of the survivors of that most disastrous flood.

The bricklayers are getting ready to make an important Improvement at the compress, and one that is calculated to eause a reduction in the extremely high rate of Insurance.

We hope soon to see the whole structure made of brick iustead of a portion of it of wood, as at present.
