HOUSEBREAKING.
Tho Hurd Times Developing Eognery—Two
Places Opened in One Night—The
Thieves Make Good Their Es
cape With All Their Booty.
Last Thursday night will hereafter be
marked in Elbert county’s calendar as
general thieves’ night. The idleness
which has been fostered in the county
is rapidly developing the thieving pro
pensities of the loafers, and , exhibits
very clearly the truth of the couplet:
“Satan finds some mischief still
For idle hands to do,”
and that tho “idle man’s brain is the dev
il's workshop.”
Cn the night named a party of thieves
entered the store of Major J. H. Bristol,
in Elberton, securing access by remov
ing a portion of the hearth and making
an opening large enough for entrance.
After effecting an entrance, they secured
about forty dollars in money, several
bottles of whiskes, a quantity of bacon,
a sack of flour, and perhaps several oth
er articles, as it is difficult to tell exactly
what amount of articles were stolen
The thieves then retired in order, leav
ing no clue by which they could be de
tccted, except an axe, which was proba
bly stolen somewhere elso.
On the same night the smoke house of
Mr. E. B. Tate, Sr., a few miles below
town, was entered, and fifteen pieces of
bacon quietly removed without disturb
ing any one. The thieves unlocked the
door to enter, and after taking what they
wanted, were kind enough to re-lock the
door, leaving everything to all appear
ances all right. Mr. Tate had his keys
in the house when he went to sleep and
they were also there when he awoke in
the morning, so the thief either had
false keys or a confederate in one of the
house servants.
In a community where law and order
prevails, where the violators of law are
quickly discovered, usually, and brought
to punishment, is it not passing strange
that such bold robberies can be effected
without detection f Where are the lynx
eyed detectives who were wont to dis
cover outlaws and bring them to the
courts to answer for their crimes. Eith
er some steps must be taken for the
punishment of the robbers, or else se
curity for property will no longer be
felt by any of our citizens, and the
strong arm of the law will give place to
the remedy of buck and ball for the
thieves applied by diligent night watch
ers.
One thing is very evident to us : the
petty thieves, whose offences are almost
daily compromised, must bo brought to
punishment prescribed by law, or our
country will become flooded with thieves
and our jails and chain-gangs useless
ornaments.

Elbort Furnishes a Balo of Cotton for tho Cen
tennial.
Messrs. Franklin & Whitney, commis
sion merchants of Augusta, recently dis
posed of a bale of cotton from this coun
ty, which was adjudged the finest short
staple sold in that market of this crop,
bringing also tfi: highest ju ice- Tho
purchaser procured it for. exhibition at
the centennial.
This bole of cotton was raised by
Chandler Terry, ginned by Geo. E.

A Family Secret.
Quite a stir has been created in liter
ary circles lately by the announced forth
coming of anew book, from the press of
J. B. Lippincott & Cos., bearing the
above title. The author, Miss Fannie
Andrews, daughter of the lamented
Judge Andrews, has long been a contrib
utor to tho literature of the country un
der the noin do plume of “Elzey Hay,”
her productions taking front rank among
those of the South, and it being under
stood that especial care has been de
voted to this her first bcok, much anx
iety for its appearance is manifested.
We predict an extensive sale of the
work.
To E. M. 0.
Wc have received the following inqui
ry, and though a litttle out of our|line,
we answer it:
Gazette: A friend and I have a dis
pute as to the author of the lines
“The drying up a single tear has more
.Of honest fame, than shedding seas of gore.”
We have a wager on this, and although
it may not be of mnea interest to many
of your readers, it will at least be to two
of your subscribers, and we insist on an
answer.
We do not know to whom either of
you accord the authorship of the lines,
but neither are conversant with stand
ard poetical works, or by reference to a
certain volume, the correct decision
might have been gained. In Byron’s
Don Juan you’ll find the couplet of which
you inquire. Hereafter look more dili
gently for the origin of quotations, and
thereby improve and cultivate your lit
erary taste as well,as save us a great deal
of trouble.
The Pic-Nic on the 29th-
The pic-nic at Mr. J. H. Brewer’s mill
on Saturday, the 29th day of this month,
is meeting with the general approbation
of all the young folks and many of the
elderly people in town and ilia section
of country about the mid, and a lively,
pleasant day is anticipated. Those who
have attended occasions of this sort at
that point recollect the inducements and
will do so again.
Does any one want to know why 196
pounds was adopted as the legal net
weight for a barrel of flour? Because
weights were computed by tons of 2,240
lbs., hundred weights of 112 lbs., quar
ters, etc., and a “quarter”g being one
quarter of a hundred weight or 28 lbs
and 7 quarters, or 19G lbs. being tho
limit that could be conveniently and
easily handled, this weight was adopted
by statute under a heavy penalty for
violation.

Tire Pic-Nic at Craft's.
Owing to the lateness of the hour of
eur infoi'mation and the press of other
matter, we could not give a full pro
gramme for the “Grand Centennial and
Leap Year Pic-Nic” to be had'at Craft’s
Ferry on the first Saturday in May,
next. We think it but just that we
should tell our readers all about it, and
with this conviction we proceed to dis
close the whole matter:
“Halloa ! have you heard anything of
the “big centennial and leap year pic-nic
at Craft’s ferry, the first Saturday in
May?” asked a gentleman of us last
week.
“No, not a thing,” we replied, “what
about it?” we inquired. We would not
have been so inquisitive, but the inform
ation apparently wanted to be imparted
from such a source led us to ask the
question.
“Well, sir,” said he, “a friend and my
self were talking one night about two
weeks ago, about our boj’liood days, the
halcyon days when we both thought
ouselves ‘big Ikes,’ if you’ll allow' the
expression, and to be the most gallant
and knightly in the eyes of the fair sex,
was the heigbth of our ambition, we be
gan to think of the scarcity of amuse
ments for our children, and between ns,
wo determined to start the ball rolling
for a picnic at Jack Craft s ferry, on the
first Saturday in May, the like of which
has not been seen since we were boys.
Well, we gave it a send off, and now it
has meandered all over the counties of
Elbert and Hart in Georgia, Anderson
and Abbevile, South Carolina; all of
which territory is expected to lx largely
represented.” He continued: “From
correspondence I lea. n that some of the
ladies from Anderson anticipate on that
day donning the same dresses worn by
their great grandmothers in 1776, erec
tions will bo held for popularity, beauty,
and ugliness of either sex, pigs, turkeys
and such are being fattened now for the
occasion, six boats will be at the place
for rowing up and down the grand old
Savannah, speeches by eloquent gentle
men will be made, and all the other
amusements and pleasantries usually
participated in at similar gatherings will
be the order of the day.”
The foregoing is what was told us—
wo have complied with our promise last
week, and we wish tho participants a
merry time.
[For TLe Gazette.]
E. 0. Y. M. 0. A,
All members of the Elbert County
Young Men’s Christian Association are
earnestly and respectfully asked to at
tend the next regular meeting in the
hall over Maj. J- H. Jone3’ store, next
Thursday night, as there is some busi
ness of much importance to be transact
ed.
For various reasons we have not had
a business meeting in two weeks, and
therefore we urgently request tho mem
bers to attend. It is a cause of ’ much
sorrow ip us that our. meetings have
been attended heretofore, es
pecially fcyHie older members, and we
respectfully ask them to come and assist
us in our proceedings. We know that
after they have attended to the business
of the cfay, it is pleasant to remain at
home and spend the evening in social
conversation with the wife, or listen to
the prayings of the dear children from
whom they have been separated tho
most paj't of the day ; but we think they
might deny themselves the comforts and
enjoyment one night in the week, and
come and help ns that are young in
years, and just starting out on life’s
tempestuous sea steer our boats in that
strait and narrow path that leads to hon
or and happiness.
We who are young, need the assist
ance, counsel and advice of older per
sons, and those who have shunned the
whirlpools and quicksands of life, and
know all the dangers, temptations and
snares with which the young are daily
thrown in contact, should exert all their
infiuem e and all that is within their pow
er to lead the rising generation in the
path of rectitude.
Come, then, dear brethren, young and
old, and let ns rally around our banner,
marching on in one unbroken phalanx,
resolved that we will overcome the great
enemy of our souls, feeling strong in
the grace which God supplies, knowing
that with Jesus for our captain, we shall
come off victorious in the end - Let us
endeavor to obey the Scripture’s admo
nition, “Whatever thy hand findeth to
do, do it with all thy might,” saying
with St. Paul, “I can do all things
through Christ strengthening me.”
We sincerely hope that the members
will heed this call, and that there will
be a marked increase in the attendance
next Thursday night

The Constitutionalist wishes to know
how the taxes of Elbert county have
been reduced one hundred per cent. The
Chronicle and Sentinel repeated the
statement made in the presentments of
the Elbert grand jury, and wo refer our
neighbor to Elbert county for a reply—
but w T e forget; the Constitutionalist
perhaps doesn't circulate to an alarming
extent in Elbert county.
[Cbroicle and Sentinel.
The Chronicle and Sentinel, in its
much ado about—grammar—oozes forth
with the following; “Stovall, of the
Athens Georgian, says : ‘Prof. Ambrose
is learning the Elberton men how to
write.’ And yet Stovall* we believe, is a
University graduate.’ Much obliged,
kind sir. In the language of the immort- j
al Shakspeare, “you learn me noble
thankfulness.” O, gentle Oglesbie.--
What a pity that Shakspeare as well as
Alex. Stephens, couldn’t have secured
Oglesbie for an amanuensis.

And now they say Senator Thurman

Popularity.
Tt is a self-evident fact that unless a person
possesses sterling worth lie will not have the
esteem of his fellow-men. It is true, that for a
time he may deceive, but eventually his faults
will be exposed.
This is applicable also to articles recommend
ed to the confidence of purchasers. For a brief
period by false commendations and glittering
exterior, they impose on the people, but as soon
as tested they are cast aside. The test of ten
years has proven the intrinsic worth af Dr.
’Putt’s Hair Dye, and to-day no .preparation en
joys greater popularity. From year to year the
demand for it has increased, and now it is in
general use both in this and foreign countries.
No stronger proof of its value could be given. 2j

THE NORTHWESTERN EXCURSION.
The effects of the late visit of over 600 repre
sentative citizens, of the gieat Northwest, to the
South, has created such a wide spread interest,
that it is decided to publish, in a cheap and
convenient form, a full report of the reception
at various points, the speeches of welcome and
responses by able and representative men of
both sections, together with the impression made
upon the public mind, and to distribute them
broadcast ail over this continent, wherever they
are ordered, remitting cost of postage. All or
ders received before the 15th of May 1876 will
be filled in the order received, as follows : On
the receipt of a three cent stamp wc will send,
postage paid, one of these pamphlets. For 10
cents we send four copies. For 25 cents twelve
copies. These speeches are a true index of the
popular mind of both sections, and every man
and woman should read them. This Centennial
year will usher in the Era of National Fraternity.

Rubenstein, During all ray long and tlifiieuU
journeys all over America, and in
a very inclement season, I used
your Pianos, and have been able
to use your Pianos exclusively in
my TwoHundredJand FiftcenCon
certs, and also in private, wi h
the most eminent satisfaction and
effect. Ne v York,May 24th, 1873.

Pianos, both in private and pub

the Steinway Pianos are superior
to all American and European in
strments known to me. New

De Meyer. “During my artistic career of
more than forty years, 1 had oc
casion to use the Pianos of all
the world-renowned makers, in
public and private, but I have
never found an instrument which
compares with your Pianos. (N.
York, March first, 1868.)
Jeall. “Your name deserves to be in
scribed in golden letters in his
tory ol Piano making in Ameri
ca, to the improvement of which
you have so largely contributed.
Your Pianos may be proclaimed
as incomparable! What noble,
distinguished tone ! What poet
ical singing quality! (Paris, April
49, 1867.)
Abt. During my long career as
Artist and composer, I have met
with many fine European and
American Piano Fortes, but none
that combine grandeiirand poetry
of tone, elasticity of touch—in
short, every thing that renders a
Piano perfect, to [such a high de
gree as your celebrated Piano
Fortes” (New York, July 5, 1872.
