Dispatches iu tlie News and Courier
give hu account of a murder cum ratted
by ex Governor n. K Scott, ut Napo
leon, Oido, on the 21.h olL The youug
man killed was naiio-il Drury, and was
to have been marrleil on the SSth.
One dispatch says intense excitement
prevaiisc* on the 26ih, and there was
danger of toe Governor being lynched.
Scott was detained by the Sheriff and
under guard. The particulars la brief
seem to be that young Soott got drunk,
and young Drury t< ok charge of him
for the night, taking him to a room In
a drug store. Mr*. Scott first sent for
her son to come home, but he ref pawl
to go. Governor Scott then went.—
Drury refused to admit him to the
room, whereupon the ex-Gorvrnor
drew hta pia ol find fired, Ui« ball

company as a whole, and never to
offend the portion call* d upon to pa)

of a good forfeit, and eDo to furnUb
suggestions to ihoae who enj «y and
’’ake purt In etirh |!e«uM.nt amuse-
raoLts, we give a few of the forfeit*
that may be Imposed. (1) Put a news
paper upon the fl >or In such a wa)
that two porsoos can stand on it and
not be able to touch ouch other with
iheir hands. This forfeit Jiao the
honor of being old, but It was not
our goiriTortune to meet It until a
short time ago, and was forced to ’give
it up * By puttingr the paper In a
doorway, one Lalf inside and the otbet
-niiekle the -fmtm.- and closing xlr^
door over It the twd persons can easily
stand upon It and still be beyond each
other’s reach, (2) To go out of the
room with two b‘ga, and come In with
six. Not difficult, if onw-thiuks to
bring a chair along on return. 8
To act the Dumb Servant. The per
son who has the forfeit to pay must
act out the answers to the questions
put by the master of the ceremonies;
as How do you make bread? How do
you eat soup ? etc. This forfeit will
cause much merriment If proper ques
tions arc put. (4) Pot one hand
where the other cun not touch It. One
can get out of this difficulty by put
ting one hand on the elbow of th'-
other arm. (5) Place a pencil on the
floor so that one can not jump over It.
May be done by putting it dose to
the well of tbs room. (6) Put a
question that no one can answer with
a NO! This D not hard if one thinks
to ask. What doea YES spell? (7)
Push a chair through a finger ring.—
This forfeit is made by putting the
ring oq the Anger and pushing the
chair—any.other object #t!i do as Wfll
—with the Huger. This last much re
