The Weather. —This has been declared
by members of the press a very fruitful
theme. This may be true, hut the weather
we have had since last Friday in itself will
prove, we fear, anything else but fruitful.
Up to Friday for several days the weather
was Spring like and ideusunt, hut since that
time our citizens night imagine that we
h been transferred to a more Northern
clime, or that Grant had elevate 1 Georgia
us lie has Louisiana. Be this as it may, the
weather last Saturday night was the coldest
wc hn.ve experienced in this country. All
our citizens who had thermometers had to
TTSr.-i them upside down to find out the state
of the weather, as the quicksilver had run
out at the bottom.
Since Saturday the weather has modern
tud considerably, of which our living to
write ot it is sufficient evidence, and yester
day morning we had a sold, dreary rain,
with now a prospect of an improvement
People may speak of their “cold Saturday,”
u time that our older citizens always refer to
when cold weather is mentioned, hut if it
was any col er than the time we speak of,
then we don’t see how so many arc living
to speak of ii. It is feared that the wheat
crop has been destroyed, and all other win
ter crops lists, we suppose, suffered to a like
extent.
Short-hand Writing—a Profession
for S2O. —By reference to a notice in our
advertising colums. it will be found that an
opportunity is afforded our youths to obtain
a knowledge of Phonography, or short-hand
writing. Such is the demand ot late years
for reporters that Phonography lias become
one of the most remunerative professions
known. The advertiser was taught under
a very efficient teacher, many ot whose pu
pils are to day reporters in Congress, where
none but the most expert are employed.
The system taught is that first invented by
an Englishman, and since brought to such
perfection as to induce its general adop
tion.
The next semi-annual convention of the
Georgia State Agricultural Society will meet
in the city of Augusta on luesday, 11th of
February next. This convention will be, in
many respects, the most important tho titate
Society has yet held. Many subjects of vi
tal interest to the farmer and the material
welfare of the State will be before the body
for discussion afcd action. Tho Committee
on Direct Trade and Immigration, appointed
at the Griffin convention, will make their
report at this convention ot the society, and
deli gates from all the Southern States and
the Southern commercial centres are expec
ted to be in attendance.
The Bickford Knitting Machine. —
We have received numerous inquiries rela
ting to the Bickford Knitting Machine, is
usefulness, perfection, &c. We have now
one in operation, but have not yet given it
a fair trial. When we have become suffi
ciently acquainted with its merits, we will
let its worth be known. It the result ot our
experience proves satisfactory wc will rec
ommend it, if otherwise, we shall not do so.

Stokes Guilty of Murder in the
Fust Degree. —The jury in the Stokes
case, after being out some few hours, ren
dered the verdict against the prisoner of
murder in the first degree. Judge Board
man deferred sentence until Monday. Dur
ing the latter days of the trial some appre
hension was awakened among the friends ot
the prisoner at the pertinacity and skill with
whih testimony for the prosecution was
evolved. Still a feeling existed among ma
ny that eouviction of murder in the first
degree would be found, and that, it there
were no disagreements of the jury, the ver
dict would be cither justifiable homicide or
manslaughter in the third degree. The
prisoner’s counsel will doubtless now apply
for anew trial, as (hey took many excep
tions in the present case, on which they can
ground theirupplieation.
Later. —The jury came in court at
i 1:12, having been absent about, throe hours.
There was a marked sensation in the court
at the aunoucement ot the verdict. The
prisoner turned ashy pale, and his sister
wept aloud. Assistant District Attorney
Fellows moved that the sentence of law be
pronounced, but, at the suggestion id Tre
maine, the Judge deferred passing’the sen
tence until Monday. lhe jury, it. trans
pired, on retiring, stood ien in favor of
murder in the first degree at.d two for man
slaughter in the third degree. From in
formation derived in an interview with some
of the lawyers of Stokes, it is thought
that no exception to the verdict will be
taken.
The Difference. —The Selma Times
says “the Georgia State School Commission
er has addressed a letter to each of the
County Treasurers of that State, in which
he announces that there are SIOO,OOO ready
for distribution for t.o payment of school
officers and teachers, this too in a State that
lias suffered all the horrors ot Democratic
supremacy. Ou the contrary, in our State
where the rads, the embodiment oi finan
ciering ability, wisdom patriotism and other
innumerable unmentionables, have controll
ed, the Superintendent of Public Instruc
tion announces the suspension lor the pres_
cut, of the public school system, while
the Governor recommends that the State
taxes be increased one hundred per cent.
Judge Durell as Vicegerent. —The
New Orleans Picayune of the I2th inst. con
tains the following : “An unusual scene oc
curred in the United States Court on last
Thursday uiorniog. Mr. Thos. Ilunton
read to the court an affidavit made by Car
son Mudge, charging R. H. Shannon, the
immaculate United States Commissionar,
with unprofessional conduct. Among other
things the affiant charged Shannon with
saying on a recent occasion that he (Shan
non) wrote the decisions of Judge Durell;
that he possessed his ear and could influence
his judgment, and that for a small fee he
would make a certain case then pending in
the United States Court all right.
“In presenting the affidavit, Mr. Ilunton
alluded to the frequent attacks that had
been recently made on the court. This al
lusion was too much for the political judge,
lie at once allowed himself to be transport
ed into the most violent rage, and indulged
iu ianguugc most unbecoming to a judge.—
Among much else that was unseemly, he
used this blasphemous language : I am the
vicegerent of Almighty God, sitting here to
dispense justice, and as His agent I intend
to see justice done.”
The New York Times gives currency to
a startling rumor that there is an ugly hitch
in the settlement between J !i y Gould and
tie Erie Railroad Company. It would be
a pity after all that has been said upon this
subject, if the arrangement, alleged to have
been an accomplished fact, should in the
<?nd, “fizzle out;” bat as the financiers of
Gotham are somewhat famous for “ways
that arc dark and tricks that are vain,”
there is no telling what may be the final
result of the scrimmage between Gouid and
Erie.
The Stokes Appeal. —lt is stated that
the legal profession of New York are very
much exercised over the bill of exceptions
proposed to be filed by the counsel of Stokes
to the rulings of Judge Boardman, the main
point oi which seehis to he contained in the
judge’s charge to the jury, the language of
which, it is alleged, was calculated to dis
credit the testimony of Stokes to the extent
that if his testimony came in conflict with
other testimony it was not, on account of
his being interested, to be believed. It is
contended that, under the statute, the cred
ibility of a witness is not to be doubted on
account of his implication in the matter at
issue. Another fact favorable to Stoxes is
that there are thirty-two judges in the State,
all of equal power, and any one of whom
can interfere to stop the execution.

Second Trial of Mrs. Wharton.—
The trial of Mrs. Wharton on the indict
ment charging her with attemping to poison
Eugene Van Ness in Baltimore, in June,
1871, commenced at Ant apolis last Thurs
day. It is not yet a year since she was ac
quitted, after a protracted trial of the
charge of poisoning Gen. W. Scott Ketch
urn. Owing to tire high social position ol
’tier husband, Major Wh-rton, great interest
was taken iu the trial, and the mere from
the peculiarity of the circumstances, Gen.
Ketchum having been an intimate friend of
tire family, and being on a visit there at the
time of his death. Public feeling was
strongly against Mrs. Wharton hefoie the
trial and during the first week or two of it
bur gradually changed, until at the close the
verdict of not guilty was accepted with gen
eral satisfaction. Van Ness, who was a
banking clerk, was, like Ketehutu, a friend
of Mrs. Wharton, aud, while calling on her
during the illness of Gvi. Ketchum, at her
house, accepted and drank some tea prepur
eu by her, aud soon uftt-r died.
The Ordinary received last night from

manures, used side by side. It has received
ihe approval and recommendation of the best
known agriculturists, and special mention in the
Report of the Commissioner of Agriculture, in
Washington, for 1870. It is made from the Blood
of Cattle slaughtered for the New York market,
of animal bones dissplved in Oil Vitriol, and of
