LOCAL MATTERS.--Mrs. Sallie YOUNG has this week had a beautiful monument erected over the grave of her late husband, John M. YOUNG, in the city cemetery. It is from an Evansville firm.--A difficulty occurred at the Spiller coal mines last Saturday in which a few brickbats and pistol shots were exchanged. One ESERY and his partner, ---------, attacked James HOOPER with pistols, threatening speedy destruction. HOOPER represents that he was on the defensive, and a few well aimed brick bats put to flight his assailants leaving him in possession of the ground and the teams of the attacking parties, both of whom lived in Franklin County. One ball passed through HOOPER’s shirt and grazed his shoulder. --It is not a boy at Marsh PHILLIPS’ but a girl. That’s all.--Mrs. L.D. PHILLIPS died in this city last Sunday evening. The deceased has for several weeks been confined to her bed with consumption.--Mr. Ben WEAVER of Corinth was severely injured last week by running into a gate after dark, supposing it open.--Elder W.H. BOLES appeared on the public streets last Monday morning for the first time in fourteen weeks. Bro. BOLES’ affliction has been great, and his chance for recovery was very slim.--Phillip SPRAGUE, Eight Mile, had his left arm torn off in a threshing machine at the widow AIKMAN farm, on the Carbondale and Shawneetown road, last Thursday. Dr. ROBERTS, Carbondale, amputated the arm and dressed the wound.--From a letter written by A.F. WHITE, Black Hills, we learn that he will soon return to Marion. The red skins have been in close quarters with the miners and killed one of MCCOY’s mules taken from St. Louis with the Marion delegation last spring. --Riley FARMER, Eight Mile Prairie, met with a very painful accident last week. He fell from a wagon load of wheat and caught on his hand throwing his weight and the sudden jar thereon, breaking his arm and crushing his arm bone through the skin and out of the hand, completely crippling him for several days. He is, however, recovering his wound healing up.--Mrs. CRAIN, wife of Terry CRAIN, died of congestive chill last Friday morning. --Mrs. A.J. KEUYKENDALL, of Vienna, visited her brother, Mr. D.D. SIMPSON, and other relatives in Marion last week. --Wiley JONES, of Northern precinct, was thrown from a mule last Thursday evening and severely injured. Mr. DILLON, our informant, says the case was (at the time he reported) last Saturday thought to be almost fatal--W.H. BUNDY was tried before Justice HARTWELL Tuesday afternoon for violation of the ordinance against selling intoxicating liquor. He was adjudged guilty on two counts and fined $50 and costs of suit.--Judge W.M. BUCKLEY had a severe attack of cholera morbus a few evenings since. --Dr. COREY’s family arrived in this city from Arkansas last week. The Dr. now resides in the house lately vacated by Prof. KARR.--Mrs. SHEPPARD, wife of our popular west side jeweler, left last week for a lengthy visit to relatives in Cincinnati and other parts of Ohio.--J.M. BURKHART and family did not start on their northern trip last week, as was announced. They were detained by the illness of Mr. BURKHART, he having been confined to his room for the past few days.
CRAB ORCHARD CHIPS.--Old Uncle Hugh PARKS remains poorly. He is near ninety years old and hopes for his recovery are doubtful.--W.T. DAVIS of Rock Creek has located in our town, and intends running a wood shop.--Miss Addie FELLOWS, Marion, has been employed to teach our winter school. Success to her.--George ALLEN became enraged Sunday at Wm. EDWARDS and gave him a blow or two with a cudgel, which wo’d have resulted badly had not parties present interfered. A warrant was issued for his arrest, and Constable MAYS found him near home and took him in custody. ALLEN told MAYES that his wife was sick and he would like to see her before trial. He entered the house and stepped out of the back door and has not since been seen. Young men learn to control your tempers.
HERRIN’S PRAIRIE ITEMS.--The congregation at the Baptist church was disturbed last Sunday by a difficulty between Charlie HERRIN, James BRADLEY, and one Joseph SMITH, HERRIN commencing the fuss with SMITH, and BRADLEY helping him (HERRIN) out. It all resulted in loud talking, with no blood drawn. Someone got out a warrant for SMITH for disturbing the peace but the officer failed to catch him. How the other two escaped without a warrant for their arrest is a mystery to the sober-minded. But I suppose the answer to the riddle is an old one: Two were well connected, and the other was without stamps-but does that satisfy the demands of justice.
LOCAL MATTERS.--Rev. BOLES called Tuesday. He is fast recuperating after his long sickness.--Mrs. Mollie GODDARD goes to Metropolis this week to visit her parents. --One of Mr. STARRETT’s children, Effie, of whom mention was made in last week’s Monitor, died last Thursday morning.

She was held in a bond of $50 for her appearance Thursday, and on failure to get surety was jailed. --Scarlet fever has again appeared in Northern precinct. Two of S.L. HEARN’s sons, Erastus and Orin, the former 14 years of age, and the latter 11 years of age, have had a severe attack. They were, when last heard from, recovering. --J.H. DUNCAN buggy-whipped Mahala VINEYARD, a woman who inhabits this city and is recognized as a prostitute. The transaction occurred on the east side of the public square, about 3 o’clock last Friday evening, and created quite a sensation for a few minutes. Hartwell paid $5 for the privilege and satisfaction realized in the above act. --Rev. LAUGHLINE, Corinth, was in yesterday. He tells us that J.W. JONES is convalescing; Mrs. Ebnezer HEARN is quite sick; Henry ROBERTS is afflicted with the flux; Mr. CORDER is under the weather; Dr. John H. MITCHELL is the happy father of two new boys, and the mother and twins are doing finely; and the work is progressing rapidly on the new railroad east of Corinth.--A gain over at Ad. MCINTURFF’s.
