The New York Times sayr :â€"Our city must look to its I,mll or it will be outdone by so petty ‘a place as Americus, in Ooo:%h. We had a very fair variety ‘of shootâ€" tog affrays lately, but nothing quite equal to that which was arranged by an amiatle citizen named Doolittle. He was one of a party assembled to take a friendly driok, in & liquor store, when on a sudden he pulled out a pistol and said, " Blide out ! I‘m going to shoot." His companions took him at his word and ranâ€"all except one toper named Noumenger. Doolittle instantly shot this man dead, saying as he fell, " Art you hburt, Joe ?"‘ Are we to be beaten in this way ? ‘The elections are over, or no doubt some of the candidates for civig honours would soon © get even" on Americus. Boutherners cannot be allowed to claim a monopoly of fireâ€"eaters and assassins now, and if Doolittie comes down this way, he may easily find a match for bim#elf in cowardly ruffianism.
