A sad affair.

--We learn by a gentleman from Rankin county, that J. Lee Hargroves, while riding on Saturday night week, was shot, breaking his arm, and that E. B. Gardner was charged with the shooting, and deputy sheriff Warren proceeded to the residence of Gardner, with a posse, on Christmas eve, and on entering the house, Gardner fired on the deputy, wounding severely A. B. Frants, of the Republican. It was at last accounts, thought Mr. Frantz would recover.

Gardner received several balls about the heart which will doubtless prove mortal, and was taken to jail at Brandon. The indignation of the citizens is said to be very great against Gardner. --Mississippian.
