Tlio sport. The dub lin Gazette
gives the following particulars of
the occurrence : “Last Saturday
night, in the upper part of this
county, Anak Thomas was ki hd
in a play under the following cir
cumstances : He was naturally a
very frolicsome darkey, and a great
tease. At the time he was “tuss
ling” with a negro who in man
hood was his superior, and vtho
pushed Anak until he fell on a
bed. Anak then rose and began
pashing at the other darkey, who
jumped out of the way and the
consequence was Anak fell face
forward on the floor. lie failed to
rise, and when he was up Iris neck
was found to be broken. After t, e
fall lie gasped only a few breaths?
and expired.”

with gloves oil and no mistake, and
if the accused be guilty of the
charges preferred against him the
Free Press has served him right.—
Editors who put themselves up to
condemn what is wrong in others
should ho condemned when they
commit the offenses they would con
demn in others. A man who will de
grade a woman, marry her and then
desert and insult her, merits the
severest of retribution. An untruth-
ful press, a press which participates
in crimes against society, Ceases t s

pressed by a refusal of fhe public fo
patronize it. Give us a mrhful,
honest and zealous press, and deliver
us from one which does society more
harm than good,

SILK RAISING IN GEORG A.
Some tliiity tr for y years ago
there was much ctU.hitsiurm in Geor
gia over raising the mortis multicm
lis tor the feelling t.l tho silk-worm.
This peculiar species of the mn'ber
iy tr was cifitiyr.i-d in neatly eve
ry garden snot about Macon, and
many silk-worms were untuned iu
their luxuriant, foliage. So numer
ous wro the ci'C-airs that they wore
us.-ftil playthings by Iho children. The
rich, gl ~sy t’lrcit A of the cocoons
were never utilized to any extent,
probably because our people were too
much ongrovTal in the vast acres of
tiie cotton plant. We are gltul to
notice E the raking of the silk
worm ir, afier the lapse of so many
so many years, again revived, and
that the manufaclure of silk is suc
cess. Through Captain Edwards,of
Dodge county,we are presented w itlia
hiuidkcrcl.eif of silt: cut from a piece
of twenty yards length, made by Mrs.
Wright,of the same county; and fur
ther to her credit, she raised the
tree, attended the worms and wove
the silk into cloth. What is it that
Georgia soil, with proper industry,
cannot produce?—Macon Felegraph.
