He walked down the track about a hundred yards, and was in a large cut when he heard the train coming, and as he saw no room between thMrain cud the banks df the cut he attempted to climb out. He had reached a certain point jua. aa the engine passed him, when bis foothold slipped, he fell with his right leg upon the track, which tyaS crushed to atoms near the knee. His right arm was next severed from his body about four inches from the shoulder. In this mangled condition he lay from 7:10 p. m. to 6 a. m. when he was picked up by some track hands, placed upon a hand-car, and carried •to Gainesville, where heveceived every pos sible attention. Mr. Bates has a wife and eight children dependent on his labor. Aixkn & Jokes.—We call attention to the advertisement of Messrs. Allen & Jo»es in this issue. They have just re ceived a large stock of new geods which they offer cheap for cash, and for cash only. They have something for everybody and want everybody to see their goods. They have detemltaed to adhere strictly to the pash system, and sell goods at the low est possible figures. They are young, ac tive, honest and polite. They have began a permanent business, and know that the merchant who sells often and for short profits does most for bis customers and himself. Be sure to read their advertise ment. Be sure to call on them if you want value received for every dollar you spend. Judge E. W. Lewis of Cumming called on us this week. He reports crops fine in Farsyth. He is endeavoring to organize a company for building a cotton factory on one of the many fine water-powers in For syth county, 'iliis is eminently a practi cal movement and should relieve the aid of all cotton planters in that county. We alto learn that Col. Kellogg and others have purchased a large »te%m engine which will be used in the new manufacturing in terests that are springing up at Cumming. The workshops at Cumming arealready known throughout Georgia: and whenever her enterprising citizens call to their aid the steam engine, they will take a new and vigorous start to still greater prospei - ‘ty. _ .

At that time no buildings •were finished except Cousin John Thrash, er’s Hotel and a few shanties. It has grown under all adverse circumstances to be a considerable village, and is now mak ing greater progress than at any former pe riod. A number of fine substantial dwel lings and business -hoqaes Aye n&\\’ going Up, one private residence about finished — a concrete structure—one other just com-, menced (same material) forty by sixty, two stories high. A large brick livery sta ble anti a brick dwelling are now building i In the main part of the town, and many . more improvements are going on in various parts of the incorporation. The business . of the place has been good and a large > amount of goods and wares have been sold k here. In regard to the lands and products: our lands average with any in this latitude i for production. We raise corn, wheat, , oats, cotton, potatoes, all kinds of veggta ; bles in profusion, and our soil lacks no j thing but marl or lime to make it a first • r rate soil. Sixty bushels of corn has been > made on one acre.: eighty bushels of rough i rice on one acre, and one man has made • one thousand one hundred pounds lint cot -1 ton tlrree years in succession. Fruit of all kinds do well—pears -find grapes particu ; larly. Our crops of cotton fine. Lands I are comparatively cheap, and can be bought . at from ten to twenty-five dollars per acre.

[Atlanta Constitution, Sept. 16th. r “ r A STORY WITH TWO SIDES. f A few days ago a story came in the California papers about a young Chinaman at San Jose falling in love with his em ployer’s daughter, the girls rejection of . the Mongolian's suit, and his retaliating by firing three pistol shots at her, the first struck a steel rib of her corset and glanced 1 off, the second cut her apron strings be hind, and the third buzzed her ear. The Chinaman supposing he had killed his vic -1 tim, shot himself dead. That was the story. There is another side to it. A strong suspicion exists among the neighbors, and those who know the Dqbois family, that old Dubois killed the Chinaman, and that he and his wife and the two girls made up the story. The mark on the steel ribof the corset looks as if it had been made with a knife Instead of a bullet. The covering is cut with a blade, but themetai is not grazed. The , Dubois women at ttje inquest said that i the Chinaman’s attack on the girl was j made about noon wlnap Dubois ULrpself r was away from home. Shots were heard i by others early in the morning when Du r bois was a| Uorqe, and none were heard . by the same persous iu the same place at . noon. They tell a story that Dubois had a hired man to whom he owed six hun dred dollars for services some years ago. The man was caught in a suspicious jx>- ■ sition by Dubois with his oldest daught- • er, and the poor man agi-eed to settle • with the irate father by giving him a I receipt for all the money owing him. ' The neighbors thought that affair was ' preconcerted by Dubois and the girl 1 The Chinaman just dead, had been with him six years and Dubois owed him five hundred dollars. His relatives know , thia fact, and they don’t believe the , story of suicide. Dubois and his fapifly have all been arrested, and are bow in jail awaiting examination for the kilpqg of the Chinaman. Knxxn BY ’’ —This jg a phrase which has just been painfully illustra- by statistics in England. Who would have believed, save upon the authority of Dr. lAnkcster, the Lonulon coroner, that no ’fewer than three thousand tender in fants are annually smothered to death by their mothers, who fall asleep in bed while nursing their pledges ? Unfortunate ly mothers involuntarily kill their children in a great manv other ways—by absurd ■ indulgence in filet, by foolish exposure in i dressing, and through utter ignorance of the laws of the human system. The on ly wonder that ’the race, or at least the eivitirod portion of it, was not long ’ ago utterly exterminated.

New Olreans, has engraved upon his tomb i a series of maxims he has pursued i through life, and to which his success in ) ’ ‘burenres ig ipainly attributed. They con tain so much wisdom tha| we copy them: ? RULES FOR TUE GUIDANCE OF MY J*FK. Remember always that labor is one of > the conditions of existence. i 1 ime is gold; throw not one minute away, but place each to account. Do upto all m en as you would be done > by. a Never put off tiH iomoßow tyha| ycui can do to-day. 3 Never bid another do what you can do > yourself. Never covet what is not your owu. Never think any matter so trifling as not -' to deserve notice. r Never give out that which does not - first come in. » Never spend but to produce. Let the greatest order regulate the trans ■ actions of your life. ; Study in your course of life to the grea r test amount of good. j Deprive yourseif of natlujag necessary i to your comfort, but live ki an honorable j simplicity. I Labor to the last moment of your ex istence. : Pursue strictly the above rules, and the divine blessing and riches ol every - kind will flow upon you to your heart’* content. First of all, remember that the chief and i great duty of your life should be to tend i by all means in your power, to the honor : and glory of our Divine Creator. The conclusion to which I have ar- I rived is, that without temperance there • is no health; without virtue no order; i without religion no happiness and that the i aim of our being is to live righteously, wisely, and soberly. £ w m > EVERY-DAY RELIGION. We must come back to qqr point, . which is, not tq urge yon all to give . yourselves up to mission work, but to serve God more in connection w.th your daily , calling. I have heard that a woman who > has a mission makeg a poor wife p,r a [ bad mother. 7 his is very possible and at . the same ’time very lamentable; but the . mission urged is not at all of this sort. Dirty rooms, slatternly gowns, andjchildren with unwashed faces are swift witnesses against the fiincereity of those who keep other vineyards and neglect their own. ' I have no faith in that woman who ‘ talks of and glory abroad and uses no soap and water at home. Let the but tons be on the sh : *ts ? let the children’s ' socks be mraded, let the roast mutton be done to a t*rm let the house as neat as a new pin, and the ‘.home be as happy as Irome can be. Serve God by doing common actions in a heavenly spirit, and then if your daily calling only leaves cracks and services of time, fill them up 1 with holy service.— A Remarkable Story.—A paper pub ( lished in St. Joseph, Mo., is responsible for the following story, of what it calls a strange case, but nevertheless a true one ; Yesterday Dr. L. H. Rogers, of Amazo nia, when he got off the train at Francis street depot, he was robbed of his gold watch and chain. Last night he dreamed that it was hid under the depot, and this morning be went and found it all right i and still clicking. “Honesty the Besl Policy. That “honestj is the best policy” may be ex emplified by the following little incident; A man at Belmont, Missouri, sold to a mill owner a saw log, which proved to be holkw. As he sold it for a sound log he voluntarily went and gave back the price, aud hauling it to b« own yard, chopped it* up for firewood. In this eration he found ten f 5 gold pieces which somebody had secreted in it. Daniel Melone, a Swede, and a merchant of some prominence at Palmetto, was killed on Tuesday while attempting to get upon a train in motion on the North Alabama & Griffin Railroad, at Whites burg. J. B. Stokes, of Columbia, S. C., was horribly injured in Augusta on Tuesday by stumbling under a passing train on the Charlotte, Columbia <fe Augusta Rail road in an attempt to jump on the plat form. A negro woman was killed on the Wes- • tern & Atlantic Railroad, near Ackworth, on Tuesday by a passing train. She was walking on the track at the time. 3 I w - k Susan Little, a colored damsel, living near Eatonton, is as frisky as a young kit i ten, and yet she is 115 years old.

The undersigned offers for safe the fol lowing lands, all lying near Lawrenceville In said county, to-wit; Lots Nos. tract contains between 50b and IM) acres of level, gray land, Well adapted to the cultivation of cotton or grain. On this place there is a franfed dwqlflhg-house, with four rooms, a good wifll of water and a beautiful grove of forest trees in the yard: one mile from the court-house on the CoVihgton rqad; near forty,live acres of frAh lawd in cultivation, and n young orchard of well-selected fruit; the bal ance all in the woods. The whole tract is well watered and contains a large amount of branch bottom land. Also a hundred and twenty five acres ot No. 178,lyhig 1 and a fourth miles from the court-house, on the Jefferson load. About half of this was, when fresh first-class level, red land, and well watered, and can now' be made one of the best grain and hay farms in the country, within a short time and at comparatively little expense. There is a dwelling-house, with six rooms on the place, and a magnificent spring of water near by. Also 180 acres of No. 211, adjoining lands of J. M. Ambrose and others, two and a quarter miles from the Court-house on the same road. This is all ip the woods except a pine old field in one corner, and lies well. This and the last above men tioned would together make a valuable settlement. ‘ ' Also 250’ aerqs No. 2Q7, kpqwn as the ‘Holiipgsworth place,” two iniles from the court-house, on the Jpfferson road.— This has been a number qfie farm and well improved.
