That community is a happy one that has no professional horse doctor. The privileges of a free people should never be hampered by such a professional hanger-on. Who couldn’t bleed a horse ? Who couldn’t prescribe for the colic, the grubs, the gravel, and such other ail ments as horseflesh is heir to 1 When a sick horse was brought into Elberton the other day, there was a general rash to front doors all over the public square. The merchant, the clerk, the saloon keep er, the hotel-waiter, the cook, the driver, the wood chopper, the printer—and if there had been any in' town we could have said the shoemaker and the tailor— all crying out at the same time, “ Sidney, what is the matter with that horse?” Sidney, who had dismounted at a groce ry and wet his whistle with a tumbler full of tangled lightning, was armed for the volley, and replied, “Sick, sir.” The horse meanwhile stretched his fore feet, threw back his hind feet, and turned his head to the real- until his neck was on a parallel with his body, and in tliis'posi tion he quietly stood, awaiting the ver dict of the non-professionals. “He’s got the grubs,” says one. “It’s the colic,” said another. “The gravel,” one volunteered. “He may have the toothache,” ventur ed a dentist. To all which the darkey responded, “Yes, sir.” “Bleed him,” says one. “ Make some watermelon-seed tea and give him,” another suggested. “Dissolve some saltpetre in water for h m,” another. “I’ve got some oil that’s just the thing for him,” volunteered a prominent business man. “If he ain’t got it he can make it for you in a few minutes, ’ said a bystander. “If it's gravel,” advised a limb of the law, “ wet a blanket in some hot water, wrap him up in it, and put him to bed. ” And the confused Sidney only uttered “Yes, sir." Soon the man who believed in bleed ing came forward with the instrument to carry his suggestion into effect. He felt along |thej horse’s [fore leg to find the vein, when a looker-on mildly hinted that it was not customary to bleed horses the way you bleed folks, winch put the veterinary amateur all agog, but here another bystander remarked that the neck was a a good place to bleed a horse. This suggestion the man with the knife thought was a good one. He summoned the owner, made him hold the bridle, and went to cut the horse’s throat, when the negro, seeing what the bleeding man was going to do, let the horse go, aud he jumped away just as the point of the blade pierced the skin. Luckily the knife stmck a vein, and the horse bled profusely, and the man with the knife looked as though he thought that was the greatest act of his life. After waiting, it was found tliat the bleeding did no good, and the oil was tiied, and after that the saltpetre, and then many other remedies that had been named. The dentist stood by with his forceps in hand, anxiously waiting for his turn to come. But night came on before half the remedies were tried, and the owner started off home with a horse considerably sicker than the one brought to town, and as he lefthewas heard to mutter, “Im gwine to try dat blanket and hot water, kase if I don’t do siunfin dis heah critter’s gwine to die, sartain. G’lang!” Sickness. Physicians report a great amount of sickness in the comity, more than they have known for years. The sickness is mostly of remittent and intermittent fe vers, of a malarial or congestive type, resembling that peculiar fever which was contracted by the Confederate troops in their stay about the Chickahominy swamps in the vicinity of Richmond. One peculiarity of this fever, we are told, is that it does not yield readily to quinine, ai in the ordinary fevers. A Very Hot Supper. A lady of color, living near the sub urbs, determined to give a hot supper last Saturday night, to which she invited a number of her dark-hued friends. The night came and so did the guests. A small fee was exacted at the door to make the affair “’spectable” like. A young blood appeared with his dinah who didn’t know of the order, and upon examination found he did not have that much change about his pusson. Anoth er youg blood stepped up, decla ring he had the money, and insisted on taking the simpering dinah into de ball. Young blood No. 1 naturally took offence at this and resented the insult. Before many minutes the whole crowd was engaged in a fight, and niggers fell to the ground like apples from a tree. Taking the whole matter into consideration, we ex pect it was the hottest supper on record, and the County Court bailiff has been engaged ever since in picking up the fragments. The New Town Council. An election was held in Elberton on the 30th ult. f o anew Town (ouic Ito take the place of the old boar and, whose term of office expired on that day. There was some little opposition to some of the names on the regular ticket, and at one time there were indications of a spirited contest, but night closed with victory for the regulars. * The following gentlemen compose the board for the ensuing year: Dr. D. A. Mathews, W. B. Henry, B. M. Heard, Mack Arnold, J. F. Auld. The members met at the Ordinary’s office on Wednesday morning, w here they were sworn in by Judge Andrew, after which the board was organized by selec ting Dr. Mathews as President and R. M. Heard as Clerk. J. L. Deadwyler was re-elected Marshal. The retiring board fearlessly publish a report of their receipts and disburse ments, which w r ill be found in another column of this paper. The Panic Subsiding, We were glad to note by the last mail’s advices that the money market was get ting easier, and the tone of the reports was generally healthier and more encour aging. We hope that hereafter the whole jnonied interests of the country will not be at the mercy of a few Wall-street speculators and gamblers. The fate of the last one of the men engaged in that measure should be the penitentiary for life. The thief who steals a few paltry dollars is made an example of; but the Cookes, the Clewses, and others who rob the people of the whole country of mil lions of dollars, are allowed to go scot free, while they defiantly jingle in their pockets the gold which the farmer sup plies by sacrificing his crop and is made to groan under debt another year. We doubt not the universal feeling is, hang ing is too good for them. Price of Tire-Wood Advancing. The County Court was engaged last Monday in trying Joe Holland for steal ing a load of wood. Joe had cut the wood for anothea party, and had ob tained Iris pay for the same, but being of the colored way of summing up figure, he thought there was more money to be obtained for the wood yet. So he har nessed np a yoke of steers and hauled a load to town, selling it for a dollar. The owner of the wood entertained different notions about these things, and had Joe arrested for taking his wood. The court after hearing the evidence, concluded to impose a fine of $25 and costs, amount in all to $35.50, and making in the whole transaction a loss of $34.50 to Joe. This is the latest quotation in the wood market. Enterprise. Messrs. J. B. & J. M. Alrnand, whose gin house was burned last week, went to work last Monday morning to construct another gin-house on the ashes of the old ona The house that was destroyed had just been built, the gin, a 40 saw Win ship, and the press were new, and all, or nearly all, the cotton they had ginned— seven bales—was destroyed with the house; yet these gentlemen offer a re ward of SSOO for the arrest of the incen diary, go to work on another house, and bid defiance to house-burners and out laws. This is pluck, or, to express it in the more chaste language of a classic townsman, they thus “show the sand that is in their gizzards.” Prosperity attend them. The Augusta Constitutionalist. Our young Mend and neighbor, Mr. H. K. Gairdner, has taken the agency for this paper, and is ready to forward the names of all who wish to subscribe. The Constitutionalist has in times past, been a favorite with our people, and worthily bo. The paper under the new regime is as worthy of support as it has ever been, and we regerd Mr. Randall as one of the best writers of the Georgia press. Cotton Picking. Every farmer and every farmer s child large enough to carry a pouch or swing a basket, and every negro, male or fe male, old or young, that will or can be made to work, is engaged in pickirg out cotton, and the fleecy staple is made to fly about in a way calculated to make glad the heart of the industrious planter, and many see in the great bulk that lies in the cotton house or gin-house the way out of the greatest of slavery, debt, but we fear there are many who only ealeir late upon their increased credit on which they can obtain stlpphes another year. Oh, that our planters, our mechanics, our professional men, and all the citizens of every grade and character throughout the county, would understand the na ture of the bondage that debt enchains them in, and arouse from their lethargy and become freemen! An Exciting Contest. A race of considerable interest was had last week, on the Carolina side of Sa vannah river, between a negro boy living on the place of Mr. G. W. Allen, of this county, and a negro living in Carolina, for the championship of the cotton-field. The picking was close for a time, but for some canse, the reason of which, we did not learn, the Car olina boy got the ad vantage. We are not prepared to give the number of pounds picked, nor in fact any of the particulars. We learn that the contest will be reputed to-day, and we have the promise of full particulars from a friend, who will be present at thi picking, which w ill appear in our next ssue. Caterpillars. From ever quarter of the county comes the -cry of caterpillars. There are but few localties where these pests have not left substantial evidences of their pres ence. Whole fields of cotton can be seer without a single green leaf, and even the husks covering the young, half-grown bolls have been eaten off. The extent of the damage done to the late crop would be difficult to estimate, but w< hear planters say that the forward croj has not been materially injured, and that to large, rank cotton they think the worm will prove a benefit. Pirst Frost of the Season. The first frost for Elbert this season fell on Monday night. In some places it was quite heavy. The weather up to the middle of the day Monday was ex ceedingly pleasant, but a fresh breeze sprung up at that hour, continuing till night, which brought fires into great de mand. At the hour of this writing— Tuesday morning—the weather, though still cold, indicates an improved temper ature. We hope tlje frost will have a tenden cy to decrease the sick list of our coun ty- 1 t The Southern for - October, presents a table of contents of rare mer it and attraction, prominently in which we notice “Grant’s Campaign in North Mississippi,” by Gen. D. H. Maury, of Richmond, Va.; “John Brown’s invasion of Virginia,” and “The Religious Aspect of Murder.” The Southern Magazine is, as its name implies, devoted particularly to the South, and is doing a master work in gradually bringing to light a true history of the war as viewed from a Southern standpoint. Published by Turnbull Bros., Baltimore, Md., at $4.50 a year, with a superb steel engraving, “The Burial of Latane.” Obligations. Mr. J. P. Shannon, will accept our thanks for bringing in our office, a rule a double rule, and a dash. As we imag ine every one knows what the above ar ticles are and their uses, we do not think it necessary to describe them; they were lost by someone connected with the office, and are glad to have them re turned. Any further particulars can be obtained by calling on the above named gentleman. The Elberton Confection3ry. Although the little Dutchman who worried our town with his presence not long since in some respects, and did it good in others, has flown to parts un known, his departure seems to have been but little loss to his employer. Dr. Edmunds retains his trade, and makes candy of every description that cannot be surpassed for quality, for miles around. This home enterprise should be patronized by all who deal in the ar ticle hereabouts. Take Care of Tour Stock. Orn- Town Marshal, Mr. J. L. Dead wyler, gives fair warning to those who own stock inside the incoi'poration, to keep them up at night, and if they areal lowed to run at will after night, he in tends to enfore the law or ordinance pro hibiting the same. A man in Mass, fell dead a few days ago, while entering a hack to attend a funeral. 00UET OP OEDINAEY.

The will of Stephen White, proven in vacation, was admitted to probate. Peterson’s Magazine, for November, is already on our table.
