Jemison, of Macon, c< mmitted suicide last .Friday by blow- ‘ing out his brains with a pistol. The cause is supposed to have been intense suffering from dyspepsia. The contested municipal election case between Messrs. Collins and Hnff, over the Macon Mayoralty still contin ues. The case has been before the Su preme Court and the hilt of exceptions was dismissed by that tribunal. The contestant, Mr. Collins, is proceeding by a writ of quo warranto. .Me.

Ciuders from a black smith shop or foundery are excellent for the apple, pear and cherry. Com mon salt scattered over the surface of the earth under pear or apple trees about as thick as you do wheat when seeding, is highly recommended as an antidote to blight. This also secures 'protection against the aphis on pears Sir other fruit trees. The aphis is a small wolly insect that works on the roots of apple or pear trees, frequently destroying life. .Mb.

An Eatonton Special to tbe Macon , Ledger says that a fatal affray occurred jn Putnam county last Friday night.— Tom Pearson, a very respectable yonng planter, while settling with his hands bad some misunderstanding with them, when five of them attacked him. One negro pulled him down by the hair of bis head, and another ran and secured »n axe to butcher him, when Pearson fired oil the negro holding him, mortal ly wounding him, and continued firing at the others, who fled. The homicide ‘and' attending circumstances created ‘much excitement in the community.— ‘As. has been stated, Pearson is highly ■respectable and a gentlemanly yonng man. The County School Commissioner of Wilkinson Coun y publishes a very fuli and complete report of the standing of his official affairs. This is com mendable.

The publication of this report could not have. cost the School Commission ws of Wilkinson County over ten dollars, yet it informed every citizen .interest u of the do'n‘ s of a very important o hire, throw r. crumb of pat ronage of their eounfy paper, and in spired the people of their county with eonfieme in litem. ’i Ley do not be lieve in saving at the spigot and losing at the bung. KILLED BY A METEOR. Mr. Julian Ha'rtridge, mtmber of Congress from the First Congresssonal District of Georgia, died at Wash ing ton on the 8th inst. His death was quite unexpected, and has caused Reep sorrow where ever the deceased ‘was known. He was an excelh nt gen tleman, and a worthy representative of Georgia, The Savannau News, as a tribute of .i respect, was issued in mourning oh the Uih inst. It contained U brief sketch of tbe life of Mr. Hart- ridge, and of bis service to tbe state, lb closing the article its sAys: ‘To this aunied sketch of the public ser vices of the deceased we have not at tempted to portray those characteris tics and qualities of intellectual and iabral. worth for which he was so em Snently distinguished, or to give ex pression to the. sentiment of deep sor- iow which bis untimely death has caused in the community by which he Va3 so universally esteemed and hon ored. That grateful task we leave to ‘abler hands.” The runjor that two men had been burned aliye by revengeful enemies, in Nebraska, is verified by later investiga tion. The ongin of the troubles was a -quarrel between the occupants of neigh boring ranches. A fight ensued, in Skhicli Mitchell a id K-ttohnm killed O'.live. A Sheriff arrested the two hom icides in an adjoining county, hut their conviction of any crime was impobabls, Its they bad acted ia self defence, tjlive’s brother offered 81.000 reward for Ibe returnof the prisoners to the county : a which they lived, and the Sbeiff ac cepted the offer, Olive’s obj.-et was to jget them m his power. He and the Sheriff, with the victim; securely bound. started ostensibly for a place called T*lnm Creek taken along. On Tuesday night last Leonidas Gre- ver, wno resided in the vicinity of New town, Indiana, met his death in a way that is probably without paralled in thisux any other country. Mr. Grover was a widoiref living on his farm with a married daughter and her husband. On the eveuing referred to the married couple had been absent on a visit to some neighbors, and, upon returning at a late hour, entered the house, find ing everything, to ail appearance, in usual order, and supposing that Mr, Grover had already retired, went to bed themselves. Next morning gthe daughter arose and having prepared breakfast, went to the adjoining room to call her fathei, and was horrified to find him lying npou hi3 shattered bed mutilated corpse. Her screames brought the husband quickly to the bedroom, aud inspection disclosed a ragged opefiing in the roof, directly over the breast of the unfortunate man. which was torn through as if by a canon-shot, and extending downward through the bedding and floor; other holes showed the direction taken by the deadly missile, • Subsequent search revealed the fact- that the awful calam ity was caused by the fall of a meteoric stone, and the storie itself pyramidal iu shape and weighing twenty pounds aid a few ounces, avoirdupois, and stained with blood, was unearthed from a depth of nearly five feet, thus showing the fearful impetus with which it struck the dwelling. The position of the corpse, with other, surround ings, when found showed that the vic tim was asleep when stricken, aud that death to him was painless. —=$■«<» seventy illustrations; many of which are works of art such as before the advent of Soiubxebs appeared iu onlv gift woiks and purely arc magazmes, and yet it is sold for 35 cents.

Peofitablexe^s of Feuit.—The pear should have a broader acreage on our farms, and as the supply swells and pri ces lesson we should be content with fewer dollars per bushel. At fair pay ing prices, there is hardly a limit to sales- Not half or a tithe of the acre age, care and culture which mere profit pays better than pears. A short supply of the latter can not be gained on very much for years. ’ The crop is one,, too, which neeas and will pay for cartful culture and harvesting. The fruit bus iness is a vast industry. Year by year its swells in value with the growth of the land and the more refined tastes of the people. No such young nation ever gave to fruit culture the like devotion, or make such strides in its acreage or improvement. Fine Frnits are a na tional longing, and they pay. From what can you, year by year, be surer of a harvest in a crop or cash?—Rural New Yorker. The New York Sun, in a strong arti cle, calls attention to tbe forged electo- rial certificate from Louisiana, which was c onuted by Congress under the direction of the electorial commission. At least, two names upon it were forg ed; the date was fabricated to corres pond with the rejected original, which Returning Board Anderson had carried to Washington, and which Mr. Ferry, President pro tempore, of the Senate, had told him was irregular in form, and therefore i nvalid. It has already been proven that Anderson hurried back to New Orleans to procure the pa per upon which the electorial commis sion acted finally. A. B. Levissee swore before the Potter Committee that his signature to f hs second set was a palpable forgery and Kelly, the col ored man, who was Kellogg’s messen ger at the time, and had charge of the room where the forgeries were perpe trated, recently swore that to his knowledge the name of Oscar Joffrion was also forged. Levisee, who now holds the office of sub-revenue agent in San Francisco, aud was probably as- assigned to that remote service as to be out of the way, has established the for gery ia bis own person, aud Kelly has proved another. The difference be tween the two certificates from -Liouisi- ana is the fiist pretended to verify a fraudulent result of the election fox President by genuine signatures, while the second repeats the fraudulent at testation by forged signatures; and this second paper was the one adopted by the commission as the means of dec laring Hayes President. So that tbe astounding fact will go into history that the eight electoral votes' of Louisiana were in the first instance stolen by con- ] spiraev and fraud; and in the second instance, that the certificate declaring this result, being vitated by barefaced forgevy, was yet solemnly adjudicated valid, because the eight-by-seven commission determined that they would not go behind the face of the forged paper!— Ban News.
