Shooting Affair.
An unusual excitement was occasioned
on Arsenal Hill yester.,
day afternoon, at about 4'c*clook,
by a negro men, named Charles
Davis, snooting his v?ifo.-CT':e
facts, as our reporter who visited
the locality immediately alter the
shooting learned them as follows:
Davis left his wile about two
years ago, and went to Florida,
arrivtng back hero Sunday last.
He visitod his fatuity and spent
the day Monday, no trouble naving
ensued between thorn. Ycsterday-be
returned to the houso,
and calling his wife into a room,
locked the door upon her, and a
scuffle soon followed, the screams
of the woman attracting the attention
of the neighbors, one of
whom, when eko readied the
place, iound Mrs. Davis with hor
bead out of the window, and holding
off a pistol, which Davis was
endeavoring to point at her. The
parties finally wrestled until j
they reached tho street, when Da-1
vis succeeded in throwing her !
upon the ground, and holding one ;
of her hands, ho discharged two
barrels of tho pistol at her, while
she was in this situation, ono ball
taking effect in tho groin, and the
other in tho thigh. Policeman
Bynuin attempted to arrest Davis,
but being unarmed, was unable
to do so, ho refusing to bo arrested.
About this Jtimo Deputy
Sheriff Sill came upon tho ground,
and between them, Davis was po
cured and lodged in jail. The
nature of tho woman's wounds
bad not been ascertained when
our reporter left, but enough wa9
known to pronounce them very
serious if not fatal. The whole
matter arose from jealousy.

Incident <n the Life of a Colored
Couple
Tho recent election has boon
tho source of many an affecting
incident in tho households of our
colored people. We have already
referred to the impassioned part the
colored womon took in it. A couple
who had livod together in uu
broken felicity for years fell out
on tho dov of election. The bus
band incurred Hie displeasure of
the wife by voting the Citizen's j
ticket, believing it to 1>is interest >
to do so. Aa eoon ns it reached
the ears of the wife her demeanor
to him changed. She refused him
admission to her board nnd bed,
and cariicd her spite so far that
t the man got worked up to such a
pitch that he struck her. She lost
^ no time in having hiin brought
before a Trial Justice, who, on tho
evidence of tho wife, found him
guilty of tho assault and battery,
nnd was about to send him to jail
The man, unaccustomed to law
and its lock ups, was deeply touched,
and burst into tears ; whereupon
tho Justice remonstrated
with tho woman, nnd begged her
to drop the case. At first she was
unrelenting, and would hear to no j
diivu tiling y uiil iiju woman ?
heart, as womans will do, felt tlio
pangs she was causing, and melt
ed, and it soon became evident
that she had forgiven. When she
was approached again she gladly
embraced the opportunity to beeome
reconciled, and in less time
than it takes to record the fact,
she took her husband's hand and
"forgave him all," and left the'
Justice's office as pleased as
though no cloud had ever darkened
their life.
Tim Grain Tradk.?The Chicago
Tribune reports a great excitement
in the grain trade in that
city. On tho evening of August
1st wheat sold at $1.01 per bushel,
and the general reduction of prices
during tho week led to a general
demand on the morning of
August 2d for a deposit, of mar- ;
gins on outstanding contracts.?
During the day there were over
t\v<? millions dollars deposited in
margins, and an immense amount
of wheat was also thrown upon
the market, causing prices to doc.'ino
to 95$ cents a bushel. In
the latter part of the day there
was a rally, and the market cl<?s
cd at 97 cents. On July 25th
wheat sold tor fcl.15 per bushel,
and the fall in prices in nine days j
was 19$ cents a bushel, or nearly J
seventeen per cent. With these
heavy falls in prices it is not snr
prising that the speculation in
grain in Chicago involves very
heavy risks, and that the failures
in Chicago arc numerous.

WEDHE8DAY, ATJQU8T 16. 1871.
OfMDVlUt Baptist Churoh.
-Rev. W.J). Thomas terminated bia
pastoral connexion wilb llie Greenville
Baptist Cburcb oil Sunday last, w hen
he preached morning and evening to
full congregation*, ilia text in the fore
noon vrtk* the 12ib chapter of John. 4uh
and 48th verse?" And if any man hear
mv words and beiievo not, I judge him
not, for I came not to judge the world,
but to save the world, lie that rejected!
me and . receiveth not my words,
hath one that judgeih him; the word
that 1 have spoken the same shall judge
hiin in the last day."
Mr. T mom as evidently labored under
deep feeling, and alluded to his pastor
hi separation from the Church with Altering
voico and manner, regaining,
however, as he said, from ar.y effort to
express the sad emotions which lite occasion
inspired. The sermon was especially
addressed to those of tho congregation
who had not accepted the
Gospel which he had labored to preach |
to them ; maintaining that the words of i
th3 text were just as applicable now
to those who rejected the Gospel preached
by tho ministers, who ate the einbas
sndors of Ghiist, as it was to those who 1
heard it from tho lips of tho Savioni
when on oarlli. Mr. Thomas went on (
to say that lie bad, doting his tninistiy I
in Greenville, preached "in war and i
pence " only the Gospel. Ho had not
discussed pliylosophy. literature, or politics,
or mere sensational topics. To
this his church and congregation care
bear him witness. We could not help
reflecting, on hcniing the statement, on
the contrast the course of "Mr. Tiiomas
afforded, (and thnt is charactcii>tic with
most all Southern preachers.) to that of
the Northern preachers who have, with
a few exceptions, so much belabored
politics and the Star Spangled Banner
during many years past. Wo cannot
give an outline of Mr. Thomas' discourse.
After the close of the morning service,
a conference of tho Church was
held, ar.d the committee appointed to
inform Dr. Jamkb C. Furman that he
was desired to become the Pastor of
tho Church, reported r letter addiessed
to them by him accepting the call. The
invitation to Dr. Furmak hud expressly
stated that the Church, iu requesting
his pastoral services, did not desire him
to sever entirely his connexion with
Furman Uuivcrrity; and it is with
great satisfaction that wo are able to
state that he will continue to occupy a , (
position ns one of the Faculty in that
Institution. I
The last and a most excellent and iin |
press-die seirnon, before the Chinch, ,
was preached by Mr. Thomas Sunday
evening, a large congregation being ,
present ; not only the usual Baptist con- !
crrecratioti. hut many of ilm mnnil.ers of .
" - . ^ ... J
the other Greenville churches wore in (
attendance. The text .was taken from
2d Philippians, lOtli verse?"Holding
forth the word of life, that I may ;;joiee ;
in the day of Christ, that I have not
run in vain, liciiher labored in vain."
The text and discourse were alike appropriate.
This sermon clo?cd tho eighth year*'
pastorate of Mr. Thomas in Greenville.
During all this time he lias her n faithful
to his high calling, anJ kept him
self unspotted from the wmld. lie do-'
parts for Virginia to morrow morning.'
leaving behind him a good name, 'I he |
respect and good wishes cf this com- j
munity and the prayers of the pious
will attend him whatever his lot may i
he cast.
