The Top Rail at the Bottom. —The ■UJicrriug propensity of the pensive mule is too widely known and firmly established to require evidence the same to maintain. — The tendency to elevate the back heels has been repeatedly thrown off in poetry and prose, and the rider has been as frequently thrown off without either. History, writteu and unwritten, has accomplished its mission so far as this animal is concerned. The tender youth or hoary sinner who summons nerve enough to straddle this brute cannot avoid a ferrful looking for of something to corse. These serious thoughts arc suggested by an incident which we will now relate: Charles McCalla, a well-known preacher of the col ored persuasion, was jauntily backing a mule one day last week, when the last named animal took a notion that he was of being at the bottom, and, by a alight elevation of his left hind foot and a corresponding depression of his thought lul head, he lauded the knightly Charles on the soft side of a rock, which flinty sub stance being somewhat tougher than his ribs, one of those articles cracked untfer the increased pressure. Indeed, but for the fact that the too confident vietim was thrown by a mule, we might say that Charles was hors de combat. His great and only regret is that he did not fall on his head, of the sincerity of which his tre quent and well-meaning groans will fully testify. That mule is patiently waiting for another rider. Incendiarism.— A. young negro boy, about thirteen years of age, was caught in the act of setting fire to the house of Ur. A. 0. Mathews, in Elberton, one night last week. The negro had already set fire to a parcel of bed-clothing, and they were burn ing when the boy was discovered applying the torch to the house. The fire was sup pressed without any great damage being done- The boy is known by the name ot Jack Lofton, and all who come in contact with him should know his character; he is a mean negro and should be watched.— Since the occurrence above mentioned, he lias, very wisely, made tracks. Announcement Extraordinary. As the weathercock placed on the steeple ot the new Male Academy yesterday will not make its presences known by crowing, its existence must be otherwise heralded Long may it exist as a straw to show the way the wind blows. A Bakery in Elberton. —Several weeks ago we announced that a bakery would soon be established in Elborton.— That institution is now a fixed fact. Yes terday samples of its production were dis tributed throughout the town, all oeing invited to eat, without money aud with out price. This free distribution was an artful advertising dodge on the part of the proprietor, who knows full well its merits. Dr. H. C. Edmunds, the proprietor, is of that material which converts towns into cities and brings order out of disorder. We sincerely hope this enterpise will prove successful. Death. —Jas. K. Brawner, son of Sea born J. Brawner, a worthy citizen of Elbert county, died in Belton, Texas, recently, in his 29th year. He was a young gentle man of some promise j was practicing law in Belton, to which place he went from this county a few years ago, and was rapidly succeeding in his profession at the time of his death. News of his death will be heard with regret by many who knew him when he lived amongst us. He left many friends behind him, and if he ever had an enemy we never knew it. Our Railroad Prospects.— The amount of money necessary to build a branch road to connect with the Air-Liue is about made up. A week or two to arrange the preliminaries for the enterprise, and the people will hear from it. A meeting must be arranged for soon, a reorganization must be completed, and then the work must go on. Elberton is going to have a railroad. Our little town will no longer be out of the busy world, but be ia it, a part and parcel of the same. Amputation. —Mr. T. P. Ginn, a wor thy citizen of the upper part of this county, recently went to Augusta for the purpose of having one of his legs amputated, this re sort being rendered necessary by the exist ence of white swelling, from which he had long been a sufferer. The limb was neatly amputated just above the knee, and Mr. Ginn is now at home, where he is fast re covering. We feel like congratulating him on the success of the operation, arid hope he may live to a ripe old age, respected by all who know him. — Dry Goods.— We call attention to the I try (foods advertisement of Messrs. Powell & Muller, of Augusta. Elbert ladies who have dealt at that house speak very highly of it, and our own limited acquaintance with the proprietors induces us to have con fidence in their integrity and fair dealing. One thing we have noticed —those who call never fail to purchase. We bespeak tor them a fair share of the trade of this sec tion. A False Report. —Mr. C. K. Jurrctt, whose death has been published in the Georgia papers, is not dead. He says he knew the report was false as soon as he heard of it. Mr. Jarrett is well known throughout this county, where he has hosts of friends, and the rumor of his death was, at oue lime, feared to be true. May he live long, and never read his own death notice again. ♦ ♦ Moles. —An old subscriber and friend desires to know what will prevent moles from eating up his garden truck. Cannot some of our numerous readers give him the desired information. We confess our ina bility to do so. The first preventive that suggests itself to us is to catch the mole and choke him; but a more satisfactory remedy is desired. Favors. —Messrs. Jas. A. Sanders d? Son, have favored us with a sample of their “Ginger Ale” and “McEwan’s Sparkling Ale,” both of which we found pleasant to to the taste, and agreeable to the digestive organs. This house always has a variety of everything of the kind on hand, and take great pride in keeping up their stock. Ruckersville. —This thriving little town is preparing for the summer solstice by putting its sidewalks in order. We un derstand the sidewalks have been placed in better condition than ever before. Teacher Wanted. —A good teacher is wanted in a pleasant community below town must be competent to teach latin. The position must be filled soon. All informa tion can be o tained by applying to the ed itor of the Gazette. Will ou%exehanges please copy. First of April. —Yesterday was All- Fools’ Day, and we suppose we might say. without being personal, that it was a day for a goodly number. Wind, Rain, Dust, Hail, &c.—A heavy gale passed over our town yesterday, first a wind that tore down fences and drove great clouds before it, then rain, and lastly h ail. New Post Office —A post office has lately been established at Grogan & Eruce’s mill, known as Eureka, where Mr. S. P. Bruce is postmaster. o- Saleday. —There was quite a slim turn out yesterday, which, we suppose is to be attributable to two causes—j.ood weather lor farming and no sales advertised. Pleasant Fits to Have—Those of your tailor. LATE ITEMS. Passengers on the Atlautic & Gulf R. R. were chloroformed and robbed last Thurs day morning. Abbeville has the meningetis. Dr J. S. Wilson, Presbyterian divine of Atlanta, whose prostration by a str- ke of appoplexy we mention elsewhere, died in Atlanta last Wednesday, at tha age of 78. Dr. Wilson organized the First Presbyterian Church in Atlanta in 1859, and has officia ted as its pastor ever since. He taught school in Ruckersville, Elbert county for tour years in his younger days. His death has caused universal regret in his church and among ail who knew hinr. Charles Norwood, a colored man, was hung last Friday in the town of Jefferson, Jack son county. His offense was rape, and his awful punishment has followed his crime with stardiDg rapidity. After a full aud impartial trial, Norwood was convicted at the last term of the Superior Court of Jack son county. A large crowd was present to witness the vindication of the law upon Nor wood. At the time of the execution fully three thousand people were on the spot. — was no disorder. A special from Baltimore says there is much trouble in the Madison Avenue Meth odist Episcopal Church, growing out of op position-of the congregation to the appoint ment of Dr. Dashieil asa clergyman for that church. Some talk of barring the parson age against him, and the Doctor seems in tent upon assuming his duty. Colonel Benjamin Wharton, the proprie tor of the Newton House, is dead. Colonel Wharton has been keeping this hotel for a number of years, a->d was wi ely known and respected. His death took place this after noon, at two o'clock. ♦ Chapped hands, lace, roughskin,pimples ring worm, salt rheum, and other cutaneous affections cured, and the skiu made soft and smooth, by us ing the Juniper Tah Soap, made by Caswell, Hazard k Cos., New York, Be certain to get the Juniper Tar Soap, as there are many worthless mitations made with common tar.
