Knicbta ot Labor Assemblies Ordered to Oust Trades-1 niotiists. A sensation has been created among the Knights cl Labor of Indianapolis Ind., by the receipt of an order, purporting to have come from the general executive board, to the effect that all cigarmakers belonging to the international union must dropped from membership in local and district assemblies. This is thought to be the first step toward carrying out the programme adopted at Richmond by the general assembly, which struck a blow at all trades-unions.

There i.us been received at Milledge ville 10,000 bales of cotton this season, ' which exceeds last year’s receipts by fifty j bales. j Treasurer James M. Sapp has had I placed to the credit of Dodge county in i the Exchange bank of Macon the snug sum of $2,816.28. ; Some of Polk county’s best citizens I have ordered pecan trees with a view to trying the experiment of their growth in I that county. The canal cut by Mr. Sweeney and I others around the drift in the Oconee 1 river is washing out handsomely, although there have been no freshets in I the river since the canal was cut. Mr. Tol Lester, of Clarke county, last week killed sixty blackbirds at two shots besides wounding others. He also tired I at a covey of partridges in a patch of I broomsedge, and killed ten at a single , fire. j Wednesday while Allen Holt, a colored man of Americus, was working in a cut : on the A., P. and L., about two miles | beyond Lumpkin, the side of the em bankment caved in and covered him up. He was terribly crushed before he could be extricated, and his life is in danger. A man living in Haralson county went ■ home one night about ten o'clock, while > about three sheets in the wind, and feast ed upon a buzzard, which his good wife had cooked for the oil that was in the fowl. It is said that the man ate all of this bird, thinking it was a chicken, and when he was told of what he feasted up on, he then and there “swore off” and went to preaching. The season for woods fires lias arrived, and the woods are being “burned off” throughout the piney woods, or wire grass region. The open pine woods are burned off annually for the benefit of the sheep and cattle that have to subsist up on what they gather from nature’s plant- I ing. After the wire grass, which gets hard with half a year’s growth, has been ; burned off to the surface a new and ten der growth springs up from the roots mid stubble, making the best of grazing for sheep and cattle. A good portion of the woods on the east side of Flint river has already been burned. i Opposite the McAfee house, and just in front of Charlie Hill’s barber shop, in Smithville, in the road where vehicles pass, a mysterious and well rounded well can be seen as the result of the sudden and unexpected caving in of the earth which has hitherto kept its locality a se cret. The ground gave way as a heavy loaded wagon passed over it the other day, and a well with 10 feet of water and 20 feet in depth from the top to the bot tom can now be seen there. Various speculations as to the origin of the well were hazarded by the crowd which quickly collected around it, bnt nothing definite iiHcnown about it, though it is supposed to be a well made by the rail ! road men when the Central was being built. The legal tender silver mine, in Mur ray, which so much excitement was made i about some years ago, is being operated i upon again, and a better quality of ore is i now being gotten out than ever before. Considerable excitement is growing out of the new find. The mine is in Cohutta ' mountain, about six miles from Spring . Flace. Air, Mcllan, who owns a tract ■ of land near the mine, has hud an option taken on his land for $4,000. There is i millions of wealth in Old Cohutta which only needs operating on to bring it to the | eyes of the capitalists. Captain W. G. i Tilton’s fine talc mine, four mile- from | Spring Place, is shipping tons of talc i daily.

ACROSS THE WATERS. Excitement in the London Stock Exchange— \ Panic in London and I’aria. There was intense excitement on the stock exchange all Thursday afternoon, and at the close of the market a panicky I feeling prevailed. The unfavorable state I of the market was due chiefly to reports , I of heavy failures on the Paris bourse and | 1 to a rumor that a large banking institu- | tion in Berlin had collapsed. Panic on the stock exchange set in 1 with the greatest force in the afternoon. ■ Earlier in the day English buying met I the continental rush to sell, but later alarm seized English operators, and the ; torrent of sellers became so great that ‘ : dealers refused to make prices, 'rhe ; ! wildest rumors were <credited, and the j j best home and foreign tecuricties were • largely sold. Business continued active in the street until “petite-bourse” quota- 1 tions were received, which showed the i , panic was intensifying on the continent ! and caused depression and anxiety. At I the close the reckless selling of railroad securities was partially checked by New ; York buying, besides England, Berlin j and Paris threw large masses of stock on the market. AT PARIS. At Paris three per cent rentes declined and were quoted at 76 francs, a fall of 2 francs and 45 centimes from the closing I quotations of the day previous. i Bourse ojiened depressed. Besides po- I litical rumors and general financial mis ' trust, the suspension of all credit made i the transaction of business almost an ini- I possibility. An opinion prevails that un i less the banks aaid great capitalists come ‘ to the relief of the market, disastrous { I failures are inevitable. IRISH ITEMS. The Limerick municipal council has | refused to celebrate the Queen’s jubilee, on t-he ground that the Queen lias visited 1 Ireland only twice and has never assisted I Irish charities.

It also says that of 148 Italians j who were engaged in the fights, not more than fifty escaped.
