At a recent sale of short-horned cows iu New

The largest sum over paid for a cow is believed
to ho $30,750, lor the •"Duchess of Geneva,”

highest sum.

A DIC AT II IN COURT.
JUDGE BARNARD HILL DIRS UrON THE BENCH.
About 0 o’clock on Thursday ovening while
tho superior court was in session at Knoxville,
tho county seat of Crawford county, Judgo Bar
nard Hill, tho presiding judge, died upon tho
bench in iv sudden manner, Tho Dels appeal;
to bo as follows:
A criminal trial, in which two negroes were
charged with larceny, had just been concluded
and tho jury returned a verdict of guilty. They
neglected to state tho value of tho goods stolon
and Judge Hill remarked to them that they had
best retire and supply this portion of tho verdict.
They returned to tho room and a lull in tho pro
ceedings occurred. A few moments alter one
of the attorneys looked up and discovered that
Judge Hill's head was thrown back upon his
chair, a deathly pallor overspreading his counte
nance. Friends lushed to him, but with an
easy gasp Lis spirit passed away and ho sat dead
upon tho bench in the midst of the discharge ol
duly.
The scene was ono to awo and impress every
heart, and there was a deep feeling of sorrow in
every breast, Tho cause of death was probably
heart disease, and not apoplexy as was loported
The symptoms lead to the former conclusion
and eye-witnesses of tho awful allair agree iu
this belief.
Tho remains wore given every attention and
convoyed to Macon. Wo did not ascertain
whether they will bo interred at Macon or at
Talbolton, but presume at tho latter place, be
side those of his wife, lately deceased.
Judge Hill, wo learn, was ot northern birth,
but lias lived many years in Georgia, and at the
tiiuo of his death was 73 or 71 years of ago. lie
was one ol tho ablest lawyers in tho Chattahoo
chee circuit. IIo lived for long years at Tulbot
tom and was greatly admired lor his mental and
legal acquirements and lor his other excellent
qualities of head and heart. Before the war ho
removed to Macon and always commanded re
spect, practice and a lino measure of success.
In 1873, Gov. Smith appointed him judge of
tho superior court of the circuit to which Bibb
county belongs. Since then ho has smve I with
distinction upon the bench, and has death will
cause profound sorrow everywhere in middle
Georgia. Ho was a man well lit.ud, of splendid
impulses and a lawyer of great fame. But ho,
too, has gone "to tho bourne from whence no
traveler returns.” liis labors nearly done, may
he sloop iu sweetest peace.—Atlanta Constitution.
LIFE RESCUE.
m
m
The true plan to follow, when safety is tho
call, is to swim with everything below the chin
well down below the water, tho head well back
and resting centrally on tho lloating power of
the lungs. But what will you do when your
comrade is lived out and drowning? That de
pends. Ii lie is cool and reliable, get in front
ot him, lot him place his hands on your hips
(not your shoulders),and you can carry him quite
a distance. That supposes the parties, rescued
and rescuer, understand la r play. Tho weaker
party is tho ono that ought to drown, if ho
shows any disposition to drown his friend by a
miserable, cowardly death-clutch of tho only
floating thing around him. Iu tho caso of the
death-clutch go to the bottom with your man
and leave him thero. There may be an unpleas
ant wrestle hut tho real drowning mail is ready
to quit his prey when ho strikes bottom. Tho
better man has his right to como to surface and
swim to shore.
But in a considerable swimming experience,
and some rescues, thero comes ono absolute
rule: Never face a drowning man. lie welcomes
rescue so eagerly that lie will hug you nround
tho neck and take you down. Tho safest and
best thing to do is to get behind him.and unless
you are left-handed,put your leit hand under liis
arm-pit. Tho lilt you give him will bo enough
in ordinary water. Ho can bo coaxed to help
himself, and if ho is a reasonable being you
can bring him to shore. It ho is iusauo with
fright, recollect that you are both to be prudent
and heroic. Get away from him, clutch his
ankle with ono hand and tow him ashore. Ii
the bank is near, ho is not likely to drown on
tho way. If be does it is not your fault. But a
bravo swimmer is master ol liis element.
I onco saw two young fellows rescue a drown-
g comrade in a way that is remarkable for its
neatness. The poor fellow was in mid-stream,
imped and exhausted,and barely able to keep
iMoat. Which was first was never decided, but
critical moment both wore behind him,
each with a hand under an arm-pit; he was ul-
ost a dead weight on their hands, and they
vain him ashore, more dead than alive. It was
struggle, hut they were masters of tho situa
tion.—Ut. Nicholas for July.
Notwithstanding tho immense amount of un
friend Jy criticism to which tho University has
been subjected during tho last threo years, its
indorsements by properly constituted authori
ties aro stronger to-day than they have over
boon. Theso indorsements arc three, viz:
1. Tho Board of Visitors. This Board con
sisted of ten gentlemen selected by the Governor
from various parts of tho Htato. Eight of them
were practical teachers, men of ability and ex
pel ionce; ono was u lawyer and ono an editor.
They remained in Alliens eight days during
term lime. They saw tho institution in actual
operation,and made a most thorough and search
ing investigation ol its history for tho past year,
and of. its present condition. Tho institution
was probably never before subjected to so rigid
a scrutiny. Tho report of Ibis thoroughly in
formed and impartial Board is iu the highest de
gree complimentary. Tho most ardent friends
ol the prC'ont administration must be hard to ;
please ii they aro not satisii cd with the report ol
this Board.
2. Tho Board of Trustees, This body consists
ol thirty-two ot tho wisest, ablest and best tnen
in the State, It would be impossible to dupli
cate this body in Georgia. Tho same number
of men, equally known, coolly honored, and
equally confided iu,“flailriot u6Toffnd within our
b o dors. This Board was in session eight days,
and iho result of their deliberations is, that the
best thing they can do for tho institution is to
let it alone; and thus they indorsed things as
llioy arc. True, they dropped ono professor
whoso term of office had expired and they ap
pointed a committee to report at the next meet
ing on sonio changes iu tho course of study, but
this last was done at the request of the Chan
cellor.
3. Tho Convention. This body fresh from tho
people, convened two days after Iho Board of
Visitors to tho University had completed their
labors, ami was iu session during the whole
time that tho Board of Trustees wero together.
The convention discussed tho University ques
tion. Tho members had every opportunity to
be thoroughly informed as to its condition and
status. .Six of tho trustees were members of
tho convention, to-wit: Jenkins, Lawton, Ham
mond, Toombs, Seward and Screven. Tho ac
tion of the convention is 8 ore favorable to the
University than any that has been taken by any
legislative body iu the Slate for many years.
With tho threo indorsements aboved named,
wo think that tho friend* of tho University and
of tho present administration may well bo satis
fied. We know of our own knowledge that tbo
morale of tho students lias been steadily improv
ing for several years, and that tho disclipino,
while extremely mild is yet very efficient and
thorough. Alter all that has been said, our
dorsement is of littlo avail, s ill, as wo like
ho iu good company, wo add our name to those
of the Board of Visitors, the Board ol Trustees
and the Convention.—Athens Watchman.

Not Guilty.—On Iho 25th day of February,
1876,two or three letters wore found to be miss
ing from the mail between West Point aud Frc-
donia. George Cox was tho mail-carrier at tho
timo, and was arrested by a post-offioo detective
charged with embezzlement of the satno. IIo
had a preliminary trial at Atlanta soon afterward
aud was released on S500 bail. The filial trial
A short time ago a man named Thompson,
living on Morris creek, in the Sierra Nevada
mountains, was engaged in making hay. Whilst
at work he got an alMlrea seed iu ono of his
lio applied to a physician, but ho was
unable to Mud or remove the seed. About ten
or twelve day* alter Mr. Thompson chanced to
be picking at liis nMlicted member, when to
his great surprise, he lelt some soft substance
protruding from tho cavity ot the ear, aud pull-
at it, was surprised to pull forth
allilrea leaf. As soon as ho recovered irom his
surprise Mr. Thompson procured a mirror aud
made an examination, and observed protruding
irom his ear the tiny leaves of an allilrea plant,
The seed in his ear had sprouted aud was grow
iug. IIo secured a pair of tweezers and tried
to pu l tho plant out, but the lea
young anil tender, and broke off, aud left Mr.
Thompson in greater despair than ever, as he
feels that he will be compelled to let tho plant
make considerable growth baforo he can remove
it. In tho meau while, however, ho fears that
the roots may penetrate to his brain aud kill
him.—Chicago Times.
SNODKINS’ CHILD.
Mentioning tho birth of a child at Miliers-
burg, tho Carlisle Mercury says: “The event
occurred on the seventh hour of the day, tho
seventh day of tho week, tho seventh day iu the
month, the seventh month iu tho year of seven
ty-seven, and weighed seven pounds. Wo dely
anybody to produto an eight that will beat it.
Oh, you do, do you? Well, there’s that last
baby of Suodkins, his eighth child, born at tho
eighth hour of tho day, tho day before the
eighth day of tho week, the eighth week of tho
month—lacking four, the half of oight
Tho other evening the Rev. Mr. Fhilacter sat
down to tho lea tablo with a very thoughtful air
aud attended to tho wants of his brood in a veiy
abstracted manner. Presently ho looked up at
his wile aud said:
“The Apostle Pnul”
“Got an awful bump on the head ’safternoon
broke in tho pastor’s eldest son, "playing base
ball. Bat Mew out of tho striker’s bauds when
I was umpire, and cracked mo right above the
ear, an’ dropped me. Hurt? Gully 1” and the
lad shook his head in dismal l»ut expressive pan
tomime as be rubbed a lump that looked like a
billiard bull with hair on it. The past r gravely
paused for the interruption, and resumed:
"Tho Apostle Paul”
“Saw Mrs. O’Ghemiuie down at Greenbaum’s
this afternoon," said his eldest daughter, ad
dressing her mother. "Sho had tho same old
everlasting black silk, made over with a vest of
tillud green silk, coat-tail basque pattern, over
skirt mado with diagonal folds iu front, edged
with deep fringe; yellow straw hat, with black
velvet lacing inside tho brim, and pale blue
Mowers. She’s going to Chicago.”
Tho good minister waited patiently, and then
in tones just a shade louder than boforo, said:
"Tho Apostle Paul”
“Went in swimmiu’ last night with Henry
and Ben, pop, and stepped ou a clam shell,”
exclaimed his youngest son; "cut my toot so I
can’t wear my shoe; and, please, cau’t I stay
at homo to-morrow?”
The pastor informed his son that ho might
stay away from tho river, and then resumed bis
topic. Ho said:
"Tho Apostle Paul says”
“My teacher is an awful liar," shouted the
second son; “ho says the world is as round ns
an orange, aud it turns round all the time fast
er than a circus man can ride. I guess nebaiu t
got much sense.”
Tho mother lifted a warning linger toward the
boy and said, "Sh !” and tho father resumed:
lie Apostle Paul says”
on’t ! ite off twice as much as you can
broke out the eldest son, reproving the
It of his little brother on a piece of cako.
The pastor’s lace showed just a trillo of auuoy-
jiuco as lio said in very firm, decided tone:
“The Apostle Paul says”
"There’s a lly in tho butter!” shrieked the
youugest hopeful ot the family, aud a general
laugh followed. When silence was restored the
eldest daughter, with an air oi curiosity, said:
“Well, but, pa, I really would like to know
what tho Apt stlo Paul said.”
"Pass me tho mustard," said the pastor, ab-
sently.
Then tho committee rose and the Senato went
into executive session aud soon after adjourned.

Mas. Cady .Stanton is said to have remarked
to some one who asked her if sho thought that
iris possessed, as a general thing, the physical
strength necessary lor the wear and tenr of a
liege course of study: "I would like to sec
you take thirteen hundred young men and lace
them up, aud hang ten to twonty pounds’ weight
of clothes on their waists, perch them up ou
three inch heels, cover their heads with ripples,
chignons, rats and mice, aud stick ten thousand
hair-pins into their scalps—if they can stand all
this they can stand a littlo Latin and Greek."
The post-officers of New York city arc down
on postal cards, and Postmaster James declare)
they are nuisances, aud says that they decrease
the sale of postage stamps at least $1,000 a day.
Tho average daily sale of postal cards is 50,000
although 100,000 have been sold iu ono day.
There was a gradual but steady increase iu their
sale and a corresponding decrease iu that of pos
tage stamps. Ho wished the cards would bo
abolished.
"Far bo it from ns to doubt tho word of a
brother editor,” says the La Crosse Suu; “w
believe them all to bo truthful men; but when
the Durand Tithes says that the water is so low
at: the mouth of tho Chippewa River that cat
fish have to employ mud turtles to tow them
over the bar, wo feel as though tho editor must
be away, aud some local minister filling his
place.”
Tiie Rev. Phillips Brooks tolls the suggestive
speech of a backswoodmau who heard Bishop
Mead, ot Virginia, preach without manuscript,
in a frontier church. "Ho is tho first of them
fellers,” said the homely critic, "that I have
• seen who could shoot without a rost.”

Mr. Ham proposes to start a paper in MllledgoviUe,
Georgia. It should come out evory Fri-day,—[Free Press.
Yos, it is meat that it should be issued ou Fri

to have it published at Hammond, Hamburg or

himself; then “Hiun & Egg-lestou” would
sound so uieo. I further suggest that Mr. Ham
malco numerous extracts from tho works of Ba
