There was but a single case before
this Court yesterday morning—Law
son Graham (colored), for violation
of l«th section. Fined 92 and costs.

Soucy (araMlioppers.
The Des Moines Register says that
grasshoppers recently ate up half an
acre of tobacco for a man near that
place, and when the owner went up
to look at it, they sat on the fence and
squirted tobacco juice at him.
...
Sheri fl* Shot.
We learn that the Sheriff of War
ren county was waylaid and shot on
Monday night last, while going from
the Court House to his residence —by
whom we did not learn. Small shot
are said to have been used, with which
he was badly wounded.
Escaped.
Henry Mathis (colored), who had
been taken out of jail yesterday morn
ing to testify in a case pending before
Justice PniNizY, made good his
escape from Constable Anthony.
Mathis had been enrolled for thirty
days on the chain gang, by the Re
corder’s Court, at its Tuesday morn
ing’s session.
Improving.
Under the present rigid administra
tion of’ police affairs, the morals of the
city seem to be rapidly improving.
We learn that no arrests were made
by the police yesterday. We are
great advocates for the spread of
morality, and the observance of law
and order, but, we arc fearful that too
much of it will seriously damage our
business in securing wherewith “to
point a moral or adorn a talc.”
Fun in Milledgeville.
The young Milledgevilleans, it would
seem, are not altogether disconsolate,
if their dads are, in consequence of
the removal of the State Capital. On
the 25th instant—Christmas day—
they will have a tournament, and at
night give a grand ball, at which the
knights will appear in their respective
characters, and the successful knight
will crown a Queen of Love and
Beauty. We wish them lots of plea
sure.
In Unnatural Mother.
On Reynolds street, yesterday, a
colored woman and her liege lord,
with two children, talked of drowning
tiie little ones because of her inability
to support them. The man, jt seems,
was only a step father, and declared
that he would not provide for the chil
dren any longer, which, doubtless,
drew from the woman the rash decla
ration of her purpose. One of the
children, we understand, was taken by
a colored woman who heard the con
versation.
Read This, Washerwomen.
The washing women of Holland and
Belgium, so proverbially clean, and
get up their linens so beautifully white,
use refined borax as washing powder
instead of soda, in the propor
tion of a large handful of borax pow
der to about ten gallons of boiling
water; they save in soap nearly half.
All the large washing establishments
adopt the same mode. For laces, cam
brics, etc., an extra quantity of the
powder is used, and for crinolines (re
quiring to be made stiff') a strong so
lution is necessary. Borax being a
neutral salt does not in the slightest
degree injure the texl.i re of the linen ;
its effect is to soften the hardest water.
A Gnu Case.
A warrant for the recovery of a gun
alleged to have been stolen from Kap
lan A Brother, was issued yesterday
against Mrs. Mary Murray, who
was suspicioned of having the gun in
her posessiou by purchase from the
thief. After a patient and thorough
investigation of the case before Justice
Phinujy, Mrs. Murray was dis
charged, no evidence having been in-
to criminate her. The bur
den of costs falls upon the plaintiffs,
ami amounts to about ciglit dollars,
and they are no nearer the recovery
of their missing gun than when its
loss was first discovered. It does
sometimes happen that when you go
to law for damages you succeed beau
tifully. Our sympthy for the Messrs.
K. is recorded in advising them to be
sure in the future to know something
of the value of the testimony requisite
to make out a case.

What a Pig Caaard.
/ It is related that one vote and a
contrary pig were the means of the
declaration of the war of 1812 with
Great Britain. Two neighbors, hav
ing adjoining farms in Rhode Island,
got into a dispute about the depre
dations of a pig lieloiiging to one
of them. They went to law about it,
and on the day a United States Sena
tor was to be elected By the legislature
they were obliged to attend court.
One of them was a member of the as
sembly, a Hartford con vention is t, and
opposed to the war. His vote would
have elected an anti-war Senator, but
in consequence of his absence a war
man was chosen, and war was declared
by a majority in the Senate. It is
further related that this member of
the Legislature was himself elected by
one vote.
Alas'! too True.
The report which we published yes
terday in reference to the killing of
Dr. West by Dr. Patterson, in
Edgefield District, has been, we regret
ta say, fully confirmed. We get the
following particulars from the Edge
field Advertiser of yesterday:
On Saturday afternoon last, there happened
an affair in our section, which should stand
forever in the memory of all as a most solemn
warning against the too free use of ardent
spirits. An affair in which two intimate
friends, Ixrth under the influence of liquor,
fell to quarrelling.and the one shot and killed
the other. The actors in this most melan
choly scene were Dr. William T. West, of
Liberty Hill, and Dr. Thomas 11. Patterson,
living eight or nine miles below the village.
Dr. West was the victim; and he is now
lying in a bloody grave. On his way from
Augusta, he stopped at Dr. Patterson’s resi
dence for a neighborly visit and friendly
chat. The two friends drank together, quar
relled and fought; and the result was as we
have stated above. Dr. West lived until
Sunday, and freely forgave the unfortunate
man who had taken his life. Neither one
could remember what they had quarrelled
about. Dr. West was a highly respectable
and peaceable citizen ; Dr. Patterson no less
so. The many friends of these families are
filled with gloom at this lamentable occur
rence.
The Columbia Fire.
We glean the following particulars
in reference to the recent destructive
fire in Columbia, S. C., from a special
dispatch to the Charleston Courier of
Tuesday:
A fire was •discovered in Gregg’s Hall at
the comer of Richardson and Taylor streets,
at two o’clock this morning, which, despite
the efforts of the Fire Department, entirely
consumed the building. The house was
three stories high, has been built only since
the termination of the war, and was occupied
by the following persons: First floor , Gregg
<fc Co., as a Crockery Establishment, and
Gregg & Palmer, Broker. Rear, Jas. Clenden
ning, as a Restaurant. The second floor, by
Dr. Moore, as a Dentistry, and Wearne &
Hix, as a Photograph Gallery. The third
story was known as Gregg’s Hall, and was
used as a Theatre and Concert Room.
Gregg & Co., saved their booksand papers,
and a small portion of their slock.
The insurance was as follows: Gregg <k
Co.. $12,000 in the Queen City Company of
Liverpool; Dr. Moore, $3,500—a1l lost;
Wearne & Hix, Insurance $2,000 iu the
North American Insurance Company of
Hartford, Connecticut—loss $8,000; Clen
dening, Insurance $2,000 in the Baltic In
surance Company of New York, and another
Company, unknown. During the progress
of the fire Messrs. D. A. Carrington and J. B.
Squeer were killed, and the following per
sons wounded by the falling of a wall: J.
B. Beckham, leg broken and badly cut on
the head and body; Chas. F. Ryan, com
pound fracture oi left leg and cut and
bruisedon the body; Richard Josero, right
leg dislocated and cut severely on the head
and body. Several others were slightly
wounded.
Dead.
Mr. Wm. G. Putters. an old and
enterprising citizen of Atlanta, died
in that city on the 14th instant of
consumption.
STATE ITEMS.
Dr. J. W. Price, long a resident and
practicing physician of Atlanta, has
removed to Southwestern Georgia.
H. A. Kenrick, of Brunswick, ships
tho first lot of cotton ever sent direct
from there to Europe.
A house on Clarke street, Bain
bridge, belonging to Dr. T. B. War
dell, was destroyed by fire on Thurs
day morning last. Loss, $500; no
insurance.
Alfred Butler (colored), who was
convicted of the murder of his own
wife, suffered the extreme penalty of
the law at Griffin, on Friday last.
The corner-stone of a new Methodist
Chapel was laid in East Macon on
Monday last. The building is to be
sixty feet long by thirty-six wide, and
built upon a substantial briek founda
tion.
Hiram Province was found mur
dered and frozen in the ice of a pond
near Atlanta, Sunday last. Newton
Awtry, with whom ho was last seen,

is now in jail.
An attempt was made on Sunday
night last, to burn Mr. Hall’s school
house, in Macon. A bottle of turpen
tine had been used by the miscreant,
tho contents of which bad been freely
sprinkled on the door-sill and frame,
and then iguited.
Hon. 11. G. Crawford presented the
Bainbridge Argus, a few days ago,
with the largest sugar cane of the
season. It was grown on the planta
tion of Mr. Hartwell Swearengen, and
at the time it was cut weighed nine
pounds. It has twenty-two matured
joints, and is over ten feet long.
The Air Line Eagle says : “We
learn that it proposed to hold a con
vention of the Ordinaries, Clerks and
Sheriffs of the State, at Atlanta, Ga.,
on the 15th of January next, to sug
gest to the Legislature changes in the
ice bill, and other matters connected
with their several offices. VVe think
the move is a good one, and hope there
will be full attendance.

, | Oatr *< Ma ’ a C^ of on
' | On a negro thief cam<
iqrtm die plantation of Air. J. S. Mont
niolliu,about fifteen mile* up the river,
and, while in the act of stealing sheep,
| wan diacovered by Mr. Montmoliin,
I who, as the negro turned to escape,
■hot at him with a rifle, wounding him
in the thigh. The fellow, named
Alfred or Albert Jones, was one of
the greatest scoundrels in the country,
and, after capturing him, Mr. Mont
moliin gave him in charge of a man
named Walls, to whom he also deliv
ered his rifle, telling him to watch tlie
prisoner until he (Montmoliin) went
to his house and procured his mule
cart. Shortly after he camo back with
the vehicle, and having secured his
prisoner in the cart, he drove oft' to
town, leaving the rifle with Wills. On
arriving here he deposited the pris
oner in the Police Barracks until Mon
day, and was about to go home, but
yielded to the urgent solicitation of
friends who feared that the negroes
might do him a mischief on the road,
and remained until Saturday night.
About twelve o’clock on Sunday,
Mr. Montmoliin started in his mule
cart to go home, accompanied by Cato,
a servant boy, on horseback. He pro
ceeded up the Augusta road quietly
enough until ho reached the eleven
mile post. There he came up to a
negro, armed with a gun, who ap
peared to be posted on picket. The
negro, acted in a suspicious manner,
and scrutinized Mr. Montmoliin closely,
as though to make sure that it was
the person that he was watching for,
and then jumped into the swamp and
dashed through the muck and water
on a run, keeping on a course parallel
with tho road, and apparently striving
to get ahead of the wagon. The col
ored boy, Cato, begged Mr. Montmol
iin for God’s sake to turn back, as it
was plain to be seen that the negroes
had come ont to kill him. By this
time he had nearly reached the twelve
mile stone, when the road suddenly
became black with negroes, armed
with Enfield rifles and revolvers,
hatchets, axes and knives. A small
house by the roadside was filled with
them, while in the rear of the wagon
another gang had sprung from the
cover of the woods into the road and
captured the boy Cato, who was riding
behind. Mr. Montmoliin had no
weapon with him, except a small pis
tol, and he took that out of his pocket
determined that if he was to be killed,
one of the murderous party, at least,
should pay the penalty of the act.
The negroes appeared to be under
regular military organization. They
had a Colonel, a young, dandified,
villainous looking black, who stepped
into the road and commanded Mr.
Monthollin to halt. He stopped and
saluted the “Colonel” with “good
morning.” The “Colonel” said—“l
have brought my men out here to have
satisfaction but of you.” Mr. Mont
molllin said—“ What have I done?”
To this the “Colonel'' replied—“ You
shot a gentleman.” He answered—“l
shot the biggest thief in the county.”
The “Colonel” said—“ You had no
business to shoot him.”
A tall, coal black negro, mounted
on a mule, acted as a Lieutenant of the
forces. He, at this juncture, came
out —“ Come men, by two’s into two
lines,” and they then formed on each
side of the road. Mr. Montmoliin had
his pistol iu his ha id, and said to the
“Colonel”—“I Suppose that you are
going to kill me. It’s no use for you
to do that. I did shoot the thief, and
can and will kill one of you.” The
“Colonel” jabbered away for some
time, and told Mr. Montmoliin that
they know he had but one pistol, and
that they had secured, his rifle from
the man with whom he left it. Cato
here came up, and begged them to
apare his master’s life, and to do him
no harm. After » consul*
tation among themselves the “(.'otoni-r
--got up on the seat of the cart beside
Mr. Montmoliin. and placed two men
in the back part of the cart, ordering
them to keep their revolvers constantly’
pointed at Montmoliin. He was then
told to drive forward, and started the
mule, the other negroes surrounding
the cart and inarching along with it.
About a mile up the road they met
a cart containing a number of negroes
who appeared disposed to drive on,
but were stopped by the “Colonel,”
who invited them to join his men.
The negroes drew off to one side of
the roqd, and held a long consultation;
they appeared to quarrel among them
selves, and, judging by their actions,
Mr. Montmoliin concluded that one
party wanted to shoot, while the
other favored releasing him. While
engaged in this pow-wow the negroes
amused themselves by cocking and
aiming their guns at him. At length
they came up to him and told him to
drive off home; and, glad to escape,
he was not long in reaching that
point.
Shortly after reaching the house (it
then being dark) Cato came in and
reported that the negroes were march
ing up to the place and declaring that
they would kill Mr. Montmoliin. Tak
ing his rifle and axe he left tho house
with Cato, got out the mule cart, and
as the negroes were on the high road,
they took to the woods, traveling part
of the way on the old road bed of the
Savannah and Charleston Railroad-
It was very cold, and they suffered ex
ceedingly. Finding that they had
escaped, the negroes started iu pursuit,
and they were compelled to push for
ward without stopping, in order to
secure their lives. About daylight
yesterday morning they reached the
city, feeling that they’ had had a most
providential escape.

Snails arc a kind of amphibious
’ l oyster, bom on land, of reputable
'I parents; but able to live for a time
’ under water if circumstances stein to
J require IL
P They live in an earthen house, not
unlike in design to a fireman’s cap.
’ Thare is two kinds ov snails, the
hard shell and the soft shell. The
1 soft shell resembles a piece of calf’s
' liver, cut founding, mid gifted with
crawl.
Thll ' alm and innocent critter iz
ov no moral or pliisikal power, not as
' we know ov, and if it wasn't for the
1 mysterious knowledge ov Providence,
’ “ who doeth all things well,” it would
make a foreordained Yankee sweat
tew guess jist what they was dedikated
’ to.
In stun forriu parts they are et for
food, but it would take a great deal of
pepper sas to lokate them in mi stum
muk and keep them thar.
The soft snail is a slippery cuss, free
from bones, and slo-gaited, travelling
about six inches in a cool day, and
makes its home whare things arc
damp.
They are, ova sweet disposishun,
and don’t git mad and tare up the
morning paper if things don’t happen
to l>e jist so.
They liv on what would otherwise
be wasted, which speaks well for the
ekoriomy of the snail.
The hard shell snail seldom leaves
home, and when they do, they don't
lock up their house and put the key
under the door mat, but take their
house with them on their backs.
There is no house big enuif for 2
snails; snails understand this; and
1 don’t take ennybody to board with
them and kick up musses.
Awl annimals are sound on this
identikal goose; they don’t never
build a house that they kan’t fill.
Here ends the natral snail.

Angleworms are of arth, arthy, and
crawl for a living. They don’t live in
rich ground; ground that won’t' raise
angleworms won’t raise enny thing else,
and where angleworms rejoice, corn
is sure to be bully. If you want your
angleworms of enny size, you manure
your site. There afiit nothing on arth
more miserable to ponder over and
weep about than a half starved angle
worm. Angleworms are a sure crop
on good sile, and handy tew hoc, for
they plant and harvest themselves.
They don’t take up much room in the
ground, arc az kind to children as a
piece of red tape.
It is said by the naturalists that
angleworm ile, rubbed on the back of
the neck, will kure a man of the lies.
I don’t believe this, unless it kills the
man. Death is the only reliable heal
for lyin’ that has liecn discovered yet.
When being gets into a man’s
blood, the only way to git it out is to
drain him dry.
Angleworms are used,as an article
of diet to catch fish with ; they are
handy to put onto a hook, and handy
to take oph, as any body knows who
has straddled a saw log and fished for
daice all day long on Sunday in a mill
pond.
Old fishermen alwus carry their
worms in their mouth.
Angleworms live in a round hole,
which they fit like a gimlet, and are
different from all other creepers that
I know ov, for they alwuz back into
their holes.
Here the natural angleworm ends.

philosophers are honest enough for

I am glad there is one man living
who is smart enough tew beat the phi

and then make themselves sick for a

The treetail is both male and female
but not both to onco; the female don’t
klime trees for obvious reasons.
When a treetud is on a tree, they

more.
Treetuds are good steady singers,
but they liavc rather more music than
