Miss Bessie Waddell, of this city, lias been elected a teacher in the public schools of Mont gomery. She has been teaching in Columbus several years and is fully qualified to “tench the young idea how to shoot.” The trustees of the Montgomery public schools are fortunate in se curing her sendees, and while her many friends here are gratified at any change that benefits her, they nevertheless regret very much to see her leave Columbus. Will Make Ills Home in SmhiiiiiiIi. A letter was received yesterday from Prof. G. M. Dews saying that he had purchased a half in terest in a lighterage business in Savuunuh, which necessitates a change of home. He writes that he has entered upon his duties in connec tion with the enterprise. Columbus regrets very much to lose so valuable a citizen as Prof. Dews and heartily commends him and his excellent wife to the good people of Savannah. Paying Off the Debt. Last Christmas day the pastor placed Jehoido’s box in the altar of Broad street church and the members began to fill it with small contributions to pay the church debt, which was then about |840. Last night a large congregation assembled at tho church to witness the box-opening. It was found to contain $182.76. The congregation soon raised the amount to $200. The church is in fine condition, and the remainder of the debt will bo raised during the present year. Bum* Ball Brevities.

The preliminary' trial of Allen Hood, the negro charged with the murder of James Mills, a white man, took place yesterday morning. Justices Wynne, Wilkins and Brooks presided. S. B. Hatcher, Esq., appeared for the prosecution, and McLestcr& Shipp for the defense. The prosecu tion introduced two witnesses, who testified at the coroner’s inquest to prove the killing, and offered to prove Hood’s confession, but counsel for defense admitted that he confessed the stab bing. The defense stated that they would intro duce no testimony, and Hood was committed to jail without bail to answer the charge of murder at the next term of the superior court. As has already been published, Hood confessed the kill ing, but claims that ho acted in self-defense. The witnesses who saw the difficulty from a short dis tance know nothing of its origin, or who struck the first blow. A DEAD BODY FOUND. Kiippowil to be That of u Negro Boy Who MiimI hi Tills City. On Saturday Mr. Walter Cook, of Chattahoo chee county, went to Mr. R. C. Patterson’s plant ation in that county to see him on business, and leaving there, got the direction of a neighbor’s house a near way through the woods. In going there he passed through.0 thick woods to a log across the creek. While crossing the log he dis covered a gun with the butt resting on the bot tom of tlie creek and the muzzle resting against the log. He reachci'l down to pull the gun up and discovered a foot sticking out of the sand in the bottom of the creek. Looking closer, lie | discovered another foot. II being nearly dusk, he did not feel inclined to examine any further and retraced his steps, a little faster, however, than they were made to j Mr. Patterson’s house, and told him the circum- | stances. Mr. Patterson next morning gathered a i few neighbors together and went t<!» the place and found the skeleton of a man, the flesh evi dently having been eaten off by the buzzards. | He also found a coat aiid hat. The coat showed a hole on tho right side of it with a powder burn around it. The coat and hat were recognized by several and the gun by the owner of it, but there was nothing else to indicate who the man was. It appears that about the middle of June a ne gro boy about 18 years old, and raised by Henry King, of Chattahoochee, who had been living in Columbus, went tc Mr. King’s house and was there and in the neighborhood until when last seen on the 20th of June, when he borrowed a gun to go hunting, On thut day he went to King’s store and bought some ammunition. He left there and went in the direction of the woods where he was found. A coroner’s jury was summoned, and from ull the facts and circumstances, they were satisfied that the remains were those of Hilliard King, the negro above referred to, and that he was killed by the accidental discharge of the gun he carried while crossing the log. It is supposed that he must have rested the butt of the gun on the log to steady himself, when it was accident ally discharged, killing him instantly. His re mains were buried by bis friends. Hilliard King is a son of Steve King, of this city, and who has for several years been employ ed at the Rankin House. BITS ABOUT lllfYl'LISTS.

But the truth is, the past week of sunshine has helped the crops greatly and put happiness in the hearts of the farmers and railroad contract ors.
