The Fourth passed off quietly in this place, without so much as even the explosion of a fire cracker. We attribute this not so much
to a want of patriotism as to the extreme hot weather. Several left town, by the railroad to Jonesville, where there was something of a
jollification. We understand that the day's proceedings were enlivened at the scene of the festival with a shooting affair which happily
terminated without an effusion of blood. R. S. Allen got into a difficulty with a German, and as his friends allege, shot at him in self defence. We know nothing of the particulars. The case has undergone judicial investigation, and Mr. Allen and his brother were bound over in the sum of five hundred dollars each, for their appearance at the next term of the District Court.

Married.

At the residence of the bride's father, on the 7th inst., by the Rev. Mr. Dunlap, Mr. James Turner to Miss Dora Knox, both of this
county. Accompanying the above notice, we received a huge cake, in the shape of a star, emblematic, we presume, of the Lone Star of
Texas, for which the happy pair will accept our kindest regards. We wish them all the happiness that is known to the marriage state, and may the bark ever glide down life's rugged stream as it started, without a jar. Are we not one? are we not join'd by heav'n?
Each interwoven with the other's fate?

Relief Committee Organized.

The Central Relief Committee, at Marshall, have appointed the following Sub-Committees in the various Beats in Harrison county:
Elysian Fields Ben. Long.
Jonesville J. B. Webster.
Port Caddo C. K. Andrews.
Hickory Grove James Gorman.
Cravers L. P. Alford.
Coppages Wm. Kirkpatrick.
Lagrange Abner Howard.
Miles Joseph Greer.
Blalock's J. M. Moody.
Craig's Eli T. Craig.

We would request the Rev. J. G. Tullis to give us his assistance as he travels through several beats.

Gentlemen, we would kindly ask you to cooperate with us in making inquiry of the wants and necessities of the families of our
soldiers, and others needing relief in your respective Beats. If any are in want, report to some member of the Central Relief Committee in Marshall, and by mutual counsel with any one of you, the wants of the needy may be supplied. We cannot ascertain the condition of all the families of our soldiers, and those needing relief in our county, and we have adopted this method to get the wanted information, and your services, which you will no doubt cheerfully give.
It is our duty to visit the families of our soldiers, whether they need the substantial necessaries for subsistence or not, they may
need that which is almost, if not quite as necessary, our sympathy, and attention, in their loneliness and anxieties. Nor should we neglect any in these times of sore trials.
