DEATH of a Good Citizen Mr. MASON HINDS, aged about 45 died at Charleston on Saturday evening last. Mr. Hinds was well known in this county. He served a term as Deputy Sheriff. He was a good citizen and liked by all that knew him. We did not learn the cause of his death- in fact we did not know he was sick- He was in Cleveland a few weeks ago and looked as if he was sound and healthy. Mr. Hinds had taken considerable interest in the success of our paper, and was the cause of getting many subscribers in the eighth district.

ACCIDENT Mr. W.H. CURRY’s little child about four months old fell in the fire last Friday, and was burned very badly about the face and eyes. It is doubtful if it ever recovers. Its mother had stepped to the door for a second, to see something about the yard when the accident occurred.

The killing of Col. JOHN HOUSE and son at Franklin, Tenn, by the city marshal and recorder, was a cowardly affair. The murderers should be speedily brought to justice. Because a man has a little one horse office is no reason he should murder good citizens, because he has a little spite them. The Nashville American of the 22nd gives a full account of the bloody affair.
