He was a most excellent man, a Christian and a

of his professional duties he had little opportu

think, refused to interfere with the decision of

prayed earnestly, but said he could not realize
the forgiveness of his sins. Except from dread
of going into eternity unprepared, ho had no de

CONSTITUTION, Atlanta, Ga.
—A Jefferson county farmer has harvested
720 bushels of oats this year from twelve acres.
—The cut-worms aro playing havoc with the
cotton crop in the neighborhood of Hawkins-
ville. ^
—The farmers of Catoosa county aro blessed
with tho best wheat crop they havo had for
years.
—A rattlesnake six foot one inch in length
and fourteen inches around the body, was killed
in Emanuel county last w eek.
—The wool clip of Judge Tarver, of Jefferson
county, amounted to eleven thousand five hun
dred pounds the present season. He sold it at
twenty-seven cents.
—The Covington Entcrpriso says: “The oat
crop in Middle Georgia is very poor. In New
ton, Jasper and Walton couuties tho crop has
proven almost a failure.”
—A negro named Jim Robinson, was fatally
injured by being crushed by an iron shaft, whieh
he was attempting to raise by means of a hy
draulic jack, at Columbus on Friday morning
last.
—A poplar treo was felled on the plantation
of Mrs. 8. Ii. Maxwell, in Oglethorpe county, a
few days ago, for tho purpose of making a mill
shaft, which measured sixteen feet in circum
ference.
—The Homo Journal says several millions of
potato and chufa slips have been set out in
Houston county the past week. Corn is soiling
for one dollar, and wheat one dollar and a quar
ter per bushel in the county.
—Mr. N. W. H. Gilbert was waylaid and at
tacked by two negroeB near his home in Houston
county last Tuesday, and received several pain
ful wouuds on the head from clubs in their
hands. Their object was probably murder.
—The commencement exercises of the North
Georgia Agricultural College, at Dahlouega,
will open on Monday, 2d day of July next, and
continue three or four days. Bishop Pierce will
preach the commencement sermon on Sunday,
the 1st
—The first white Indian peach scions ever
imported.to Georgia were brought to Oglethorpe
county from Virginia by Mrs. Brooks fifty-three
years ago. Mrs. Brooks made the jouruey on
horseback, and> brought the twigs in her lap.
They were planted at her home, now known as
the Little-Itoane-Jones-Brawner place.
—Mrs. Patterson and her daughter, on a visit
from Atlanta to Stone Mountain, met with a
very serious, it. not fatal,, accident on Monday
last. While returning from the depot the horses
in the wagon became frightened goiug down a
steep hill, throwing Mrs. Patterson and her
daughter out. Two whoels passed over them,
inflicting severe injuries.
—The lands of Northern. Georgia are based
upon a gold bearing strata, quite fabulous in its
richness. At Dahlonega on Wednesday last,
directly alter the falling of a heavy shower of
rain, a little barefoot street urohin panned out
fifteen or twenty large particles of gold from
about a half gallon, of earth: scraped up iu front
oi the oourt house door. It is thought by
many of the citizens, and also stated for a fact
' by a praotioal miner, that one of the richest
veins in the county runs directly across the
public squaro only a few feet below the surface.
—The Columbus Times- says: “We saw a
private letter yesterday, just received from a
Columbus gentleman now in Europe, who took
some samples of Eagle and Fhenix goods over
with him. He has shown them to several mer
chants, who were astonished at the excellence
of the fabrics. He named a manufacturer with
whom he bad conversed who proposes to com
mence the manufacture of the cotton blankets.
The Eagle and Phenix Mills, wo believe,, are
the only manufacturers of these blankets in this
oountry at this time. Their beauty and exsel-
lence have made them popular wherever used.”
—Macon Telegraph: A neighbor, Mr. S. L
(Austin, has presented us with a peaoh limb of
tha Beatrice variety, only one foot in length,,
containing seventeen well grown, rosy aud de
licious ripe peaches. The same gentleman is
aoooessfully cultivating several other varieties,
whioh ripen in regular succession until frost.
Booh men are publio benefactors. It is impos-
aible to overstock the market with this early
ripe fruit, and it goes off like hot cakes, both
at home and abroad. In the very matter of
early vegetables, peaches, pears, apples, berries
and melons, the South possesses within herself
the elements of untold wealth. Let the exam
ple of Mr. Gustin, therefore, be emulated by
every intelligent farmer, and horticulturist in
fioorgia.
