Reunions.— Colonel Claiborne Snead,
former commander of the gallant Third
Georgia Regiment, has issued a circular
‘■ailing the attention of the survivors of
his old command to the approaching re
union of that regiment at the scene of
their first year’s service, and the home of
many cherished friends—the city of
Portsmouth, Va.—on the 4th and sth of
August next. Members of the regiment,
and friends invited by them, can procure
tickets for the round trip, good for twen
ty days, for sl2 each. It is thought that
transportation will be secured over the
Georgia road at half price. Each com
pany will report, as soon as possible, by
letter to Capt. A. A. Winn, Secretary of
our Survivors’ Association, at Savannah,
Ga., stating the name and number of
veterans, and tbc number of friends in
vited by them, proposing to join in the
excursion. Capt. S. A. Corker, and
their former Quartermaster-Sergeant,
George N. Dexter, have consented to
precede the regiment, and make all ne
cessary arrangements for their coming.
Companies will rendezvous in Augusta
on the 2d ot August; reporting to their
former Quartermaster, Capt. Alexander
Philip, No. 25(3 Broad Street.
Each company will provide its mem
bers with a badge of ribbon, marked
Third Georgia Regiment, ” and bearing
the letter of the company, and see that
the baggage is distinctly labelled with
the name and company of the owner.
The Washington Artillery of Augusta
have kindly consented to give one hour’s
notice of the departure of the train by a
sulute of thirteen guns on the afternoon
of the 2d of August.
Col. R. B. Nisbet, a former commander
oi the Regiment, will deliver the regular
address on the occasion of our re-union.
The Glover Guards, of Jasper county,
of the old Fourth Georgia Regiment, is
preparing for a re-union at an early day.
The Glovers was a most gallant company.
Insanity Among the Negroes.—
The Atlanta Constitution says : Before
the war, there was scarcely a case of lu
nacy among negroes, but now the number
ol insane in the South is becom
ing a subject of inquiry. It is said that
such cases are mostly old men and wo
men who were slaves of good masters.
The responsibilities and trials and vexa
tions of freedom are too great tor minds
accustomed to labor without a thought of
the future. r lhe slave did the work and
the master did the thinking for both,
and the sudden change to anew system
left both in a bad predicament.
A Chicago woman, supposed by her
dress and appearance to be wealthy, was
caught stealing an amountof candy worth
about ten cents in a confectionery store.
Fhc was arrested and taken to a police
station, where she refused to tell her
name, and begged to be put in a cell out
of sight. She was incarcerated all night,
and in the morning, still hiding her iden
tity, she pleaded so piteously to the pc
-1 ice justice not to be exposed to any chance
of recognition, that he had her arraigned
privately. She readily paid a fine of ten
dollars, and escaped exposure.
Such a petty,mean transaction through
out, would scarcely have occurred in any
city under the sun but Chicago.
Attempt to Reconcile Tilton and
his Wife. —A correspondent to the Cin
cinnati Gazette says Miss Florence Tilton
is engaged to be married shortly to Mr.
A. B. Martin, the witness who figured in
the trial as the frequent visitor at Mrs.
Tilton’s. He has been playing the part
of the mutual friend in trying to bring
Mr. and Mrs. Tilton together again, and
reconciling them.
Another Cyclone.— A violent wind
and rain storm past Milledgeville about
2r. M. Thursday. Much damage was
done to Corn and cotton in the country.
The roof of the cotton factory was blown
off, and the stables and outhouses suf
fered seriously. Many of the beautiful
shade trees in the town were broken off
and ruined.
Almost a Duel.— An Atlanta dis
patch to the Augusta Constitutionalist,
dated July Ist, says: “Alston and
Clarke went to West Point last night to
fight a duel, but were frustrated by Ala
bama and Georgia officers. Alston re
turned this afternoon.”
Another evidence of “the era of good
feeling.” Jefferson Davis has been invi
ted to deliver an address before the Bar
tholomew county (Indiana) Agricultural
Society this fall, and will accept.
The Beecher-Tilton case has finally
been disposed of, by a mis-trial—the
jury failing to agree. They were divided
—three in favor of conviction and nine
against it.
Messrs. Moody and Sankey will
leave England and propose trying their
exhortations and singing upon the Par
isians.
The New' Orleans Pieatfune puts the
incoming cotton crop at 3,650,000 bales.
Mrs. Eva Joyce, of Oswego, N. Y.,
has sued Mr. Albert Quonce for SI,OOO
for an attempt to kiss her.
International Phootixg Match.—
The contest in Ireland, between Irish
and American marksmen, resulted in
favor of the Irish at 800 yards, but the
Americans beat them at 900 and 1,000
yards.
The total cost of the St. Louis bridge
is but little less than $7,000,000. Its
gross receipts in the last year w T ere, $286,
000, and its expenses $98,000, leaving
SIBB,OOO to pay the interest on $7,000,000.
Pretty poor business.
♦
Another New Motor.— The latest
novelty in this line is the discovery of a
means of making light act as a motor.
If it can be utilized so as to move heavy
machinery, it will certainly be found a
cheap motive power.
—
Stagnation in business is said to be as
prevalent in Nevada, Utah, Wyoming,
Colorado and Kansas as in the Atlantic
States. In Colorado and all these regions
hundreds of men are willing to work for
their board, and want to leave.
In Minnesota the boys are grassfcop
pering at the rate of sixty cents a ton,
and on an average manure the soil with
twenty-five tons of the insects per day.
They count upon breaking up the State
treasury or the hoppers, one of the two.
Five ocean cables now facilitate com
munication between North America and
Europe. The first of those now in work
ing order was laid in 1866, the second in
1869, the the third in 1873, the fourth in
1874, and the last has just been com
pleted.
A gentleman by the name of Williams,
near Wetumpka, Ala., has employed on
his plantation one hundred convicts.
He cultivates 1,600 acres in corn and
1,400 in cotton. Reliable parties say he
has a good prospect for making 50,000
bushels of corn and 500 bales of cotton.
Another great sale of short horns has
taken place, this time near Toronto, Can
ada, where sixtv-five head were sold for
$80,550. A six months heifer was sold
to a Michigan firm for SIB,OOO, and a
bull of the same age to three gentlemen
of Davidson county, Tennessee for
$8,200.
There is a cow in Jacksonville, Flor
ida, that has yielded her owner a profit
of $4,526 in the past eight years. Her
general average of milk is twelve quarts
per day, which sells readily at fifteen
cents. The expense of keeping is put
down at twenty-five cents per day, which
is certainly a swindle on the cow.
Mrs. Sarah K. Putnam, in Green
field, Massachusetts, attended a woman
who had diptheria, and scratched her
finger with a pin while arranging banda
ges around the patient’s throat. The
poison of the disease entered the slight
wound, and Mrs. Putnam’s hand, arm,
and at length her whole body became af
fected, causing death.
Ex-President Davis, in a letter to
Gen. Wm. M. Brown, of the State Uni
versity, says that urgent business requir
ing his presence in Mississippi alone pre
vented his accepting the invitation of
the Literary Societies. A visit to Geor
gia would have afforded him great pleas
ure, and he regrets that circumstances
rendered it impossible.
The authorities of Bine Earth county,
Minnesota, determined to exterminate
the grasshoppers, offered a premium for
every quart or bushel captured or slain
within their bailiwick. After some fifteen
thousand bushels had been killed and
paid for. it was. discovered that fully ODe
half had been brought in by residents of
adjacent counties. That put an end to
the bounty on hopper scalps.
An lowa laborer has sued an old far
mer on a rather queer contract. The
man hired to the farmer on the condit'on
that part of his wages would be paid in
money, and that for the balance he
should receive one of the old man’s daugh
ters iu marriage. The labor was per
formed and the money was paid, but the
girl was not forthcoming. This was not
the fault of the old man, but of his daugh
ter, who refused to be made a subject of
bargain and sale. Whereupon the la
borer sued the father on the contract.
The habit of sending indecent and
scurfillous postal cards through the mails
is about as dirty and degrading a practice
as can be indulged, aud very properly
the laws make it a serious offense, the
fine being not less than SIOO, nor more
than $5,000, or imprisonment not less
than one year nor more than ten years.
A party was last week arrested in Balti
more for sending a number of scurrilous
cards through the mails, calling the per
son addressed a “ first class runaway,
thief and beat,” “ a petty swindler,” “ a
first class villain,” “ dirty dog,” “ worth
less scoundrel,” etc. The party arrested
i was held in $1,500 bail to answer the
[ charge.

be too full to prosper.
—A venomous alligator attacked Mr.
Louis Thomas, in Wayne county, re
cently.
—Banks county comes forward with a
centennial water-moccasin. He has two
heads and four eyes.
■—Miss Augusta J. Evans (Mrs. Wil
son), the author of “ Beulah,” is in At
lanta. Carlton will issue anew novel
from her pen in the fall.
—The museum of Georgia Medical
College, has the heart of a man who lived
thirty days, after he had stabbed it
through with a knife.
—Georgia has 218,733 whites and 175,
334 negroes between the ages of six and
eighteen, and its present aunual educa
tional appropriation is SIBO,OOO.
—J. A. Findley, Deputy U. S. Marshal,
was shot in Lumpkin county, on the 2d
inst, by a party of illicit distillers. He
was shot through both legs, and his
horse was killed.
—A cypress tree was cut down in Ran
dolph recently which contained a colony
each of sap-suckers and bats and two
hundred pounds of nice honey. Talk
about your eucalyptus globuluses.
—Another case of cremation in Geor
gia. The house of a freedman in Pulas
ki county took fire on Saturday last, and
an infant cremated in the flames. All
that could be distinguished of the child
was its heart.
—All the excitement about the Fish
murder in Atlanta seems to have devel
oped into a first class effort to have Far
row removed. Mrs. Rasberry clinches it
by denting that her husband made a
dying confession in the i*tter. ’
—A Mrs. Weatberby, living near Bu
chanan, jumped in a well the other night,
from which she was rescued by her hus
band. The next day she wandered off
into the woods, and was found after con
siderable search. Her mind seems to he
deranged.
—Two weeks since W. Brunson, of
Perry, had extracted from his tongue an
entire tooth, near one inch long. He
received a pistol shot more than nine
months ago by which the tooth was torn
from the gum and firmly embedded in
the muscles of the tongue.
—We learn that on Wednesday last,
while a party of fifteen men were enga
ged in running a threshing machine, near
Marietta, a heavy cloud and rain came
up, and a bolt of lightning struck in the
midst of the crowd, killing three men
outright, and injuring to some extent the
entire party. Two of the men were
brothers, and were standing one on each
side of their father when killed, the fath
er miraculously escaping unhurt.
—They had a lively time in Allanta
on the 2d instant between two ex-Gover
nors—Dr. Sam Bard, ex-Gov. of Idaho,
and Ex-Gov. Conley, who, as President
of the Senate, occupied the Executive
chair after Bullock’s flight. It seems
that Conley has been appointed postmas
ter at Allanta, and demanded possession
of the office. Bard at first refused to
surrender, on the alleged ground that
he had not resigned, but finally yielded
without a fight, and Gov. Conley is now
postmaster.
—A San Francisco company has gone
extensively into the manufacture of pa
per barrels. Some of the barrels, con
taining sugar, have already been shipped
to China aud Japan, and they seemed as
good when they reached their destination
as when they started.
—A funny use of steam is found on
Duck river, in Tennessee, on which a
steamboat, drawing only a foot of w'ater
and having a grist mill on board, wanders
up and down, stopping where she is
wanted to grind a bushel of corn or two
for the farmers.
—A young lady in Indianapolis sought
to impart the hue of health to her cheeks
the other evening, when dressing for a
party, and found the requisite bloom in
the coloring matter of some cinnamon
candy. During the evening her cheeks
became very much swollen* and the poi
son soon after communicated itself to
her eyes. She is now quite blind, and
there seems to Jbe little hope that she will
ever regain her eyesight.
—The following is a man’s opinion :
The female lip that has been profaned
by the touch of any man, unless it be a
relation, ought to lose all honor and re
spect. What remains for the husband if
the lips—the very outlet to the soul—
have mingled their breath of life with
others? When a lady becomes a prodi
gal of her kisses we are instantly forced
into one of two conclusions, that either
she holds her virtue by a very slender
thread or that she is incapable of draw
ing the nicer distinctions, which 5 4 one
of the characteristics of a pure woman.”
