Addri 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.
