2d instant, of iiiflainathh of the bowels,
Frahhls Emma, .youngest child and only
daughter Mr. and Mrs. T. L. Gantt.

Sudden t^eetlh-
On* Tuesday night last, between lTl’and’
-II o’clock, M rs. Hancock, of Jackson
©Minty, died very suddenly, of heart dis
ease, while on a visit to the family of
Mrs. Willis Willingham, of Lexington.
The deceased lady, but three weeks since,
had lost her husband, ami' it is thought
this shock had something to do with her
death. Mrs. 11. was a sister of the late
IU. Willis Willingham, and'was n most
•worthy, and estimable lady. Her rtl.i
tives have our deepest sympathy. The
remaias were conveyed to her home for
interment.
Our Half Sheet'.
We suppose there is no apology nec
essary to our readers this week for issuing
of only a half-sheet. Any one who has
had the misfortune to lose a child well
know-the parent is incapacitation'to dis
charge the ordinary business of life, with
death in-tho house.
As the 4th of July came on this week,
imt few weeklies in the State will make
any pretentions whatever to issue a pa
per—it being an accepted holiday. We
intended, however, to give our patrons
their usual paper until- this affliction
overtook us.

BRIDGES NEEDED.
\ln connection with this subject, and
ggermain to it, is the one of interoommu
inneation, which nearly concerns many of
*the citizens of both Oglethorpe and Mad
ilaon comities. There are three places of
crossing the south prong of Broad River
I between' these counties viz., at A. F.
i Comer's, G. Watson’s and at Eberhart’s
• old ferry, neither of which cau>be forded
• during much of the year, and each of
•on public roads in constant use, and the
-site of good mills-. I think it is incurn
< bent on the authorities of the two coun
ties to build bridges at some if not all of
these places..
Madison county has built two bridges
• on the same stream since the first of last
year, one at Judge G. 0. Daniel’s mill
above DfcuieUv-ille, the other a mile from'
the village on the Athen’s road.
On Saturday next the rebuilding of
Thompson's bridge, fou-r miles below
Danielsville, is to be let to contractors.
At Dt. Davenport’s (formerly Eber
liartcVj mill-there is a good ferry in suc
c‘ossful operation, L believe, still.l think a
safer and speedier transit ought to be
afforded.
Mr. Watson lias a private ferry at his
jnill kept* for weoominodation, and the
.•river can-be forded at this point at ordi
n*ry times, but when-it is-swollen in the
•least the ford becomes dangerous. The
travel hither and thither :it this point is
hmmense for a country highway—so is
dt very considerable at Mr. Comer's, and
here the stream is almost impassible on
account of itsdept.li.iunl the rolling rocks
do its bed.
'At the two-last mentioned places-the
public good imperatively demands that
bridges be built. The trade of Crawford
would feel the benefit. Friendly com
onunication'Hcro6s the line would be ren
•dered easy and-pleasant, and the conve-
nience of general travel would Ire greatly
.promoted.
THE WHEAT CROP
in this county is proving to be the best
Jor many years, yielding from fifteen to
twenty bushels pertscre. Mr. J. B. Long
making on acres 67 dozen sheaves and
.38 bushels of wheat, the \ acre being in
an apple orchard.
A STEAMER AND SEPARATOR.
Anew sensation, in the way of thresh
ing and cleaning wheat lias made its first
Appearance among us this year. It is
the property of Mr. T. J. Scott, one of
our moat interprising young farmers,
and is a complete success, traveling from
place to-plase and nicely cleaning over
two thousand, bushels of grain per week.
Jeff Ua-son of the Hon. W. W. Scott,

AhRI(X’I.TI’RK A FR%UI>*
The basest fraud of earth is agrioul
ture. The deadliest ignis Jatuxis that
ever glittered to beguile and dazzle to
betray is agriculture. I speak with- feel
ing, this subject, for T’ve been glittered
and beguiled and destroyed by this -same
arch deceiver.
She has made me a thousand promises, I
and broken every one of them.
She has promised me early potatoes,
and the rain has drowned every one of j
them ; late potatoes, and the drought has j
withered them.
She has promised me summer squashes,
and the worms have eaten them ; win
ter squashes and the bugs have devoured
them.
Shelias promUnd cherries, and : the j
curculio has stung them, and they con
tain living things, uncomely to the eye |
and unsavory-to the taste.
She has promised strawberries, and
the young chickens have devoured them,
and the eye connot see them.
She has promised tomatoes, and the
old hens-have encompassed them.
No wonder Cain killed Abel his broth
er. He was a tiller of the ground. The
wonder is that he didn’t kill his father
and then weep because liadu’t a gradfa
then to 1 11, No doubt his Early Rose
potatoes for which he had paid Adam
$7 a barrell, had been cut down by bugs
from the head waters of the Euphrates.
His Pennsylvania wheat had been win
ter killed, and-wasn’t worth-cutting. His
Norway oates had gone to 1 straw, and
would not yield five pecks per acre, and
his Spanish watermelons had been stolen
by-boys, who had pulled up the vines,
broken-down his patent picket fence,
and written scurrilous doggerel all over
his back gate. No wonder he felt mad
when he saw Abel whistling along with
his fine French merinoes, worth $8 a
head, and wool going up every day. No
wonder he wanted to kill sorjiebody, and
thought he’d practice on Abel.
And Noah’s getting drunk was-not at
all surprising. He had become a hus
bandman. He had thrown away mag
nificent opportuuies: He might have
liad a monopoly of any profession or bus
iness: Had lie studied-medicine, there
would 1 not have been another doctor
within a thousand miles to call him
“ quack and every family would have
bought a bottle of “Noah’s- Compound:
Extract of Gopher Wood Anti-Deluge
Syrup.’' Asa politician he might have
carried his own ward solid; and-controll
ed two-thirds of the delegates in every
convention; As a’lawyer, he wonidr have
been retained in every case tried at the
Ararat Quarter Sessions, or the old- Ark
High Court of Admiralty. But he threw
away all these advantages and took to
agriculture. For a long time the ground
was so wet he could< raise nothing but
sweet flag and bulrushes, and these at
last became a drug in the market. What
wonder that when at last he did get a
peck of grapes that were not stung to
death by Japhet’s honey bees, he should
have made wine and drowned’his sorrows
iu>a “flowing howl.”'
The fact is, agriculture would demor
alize a saint; T was almost a saint when
I went into it. I’m a demon now. I'm
at war with everything. I fight myself
out orbediat4 o’clock, when all my bet
ter nature tells me to-lie still till 7. I
fight myself into the garden to work like
a brute, when reason and instinct tell >me -
to stay in the house and enjoy myself
like amau. I fight the pigs, the chick
ens, the moles, the birds, the bugs, the
worms—everything in which is the
breath of life. I fight the docks, the
burdocks, the mulleins, the thistles, the
grapes; the roots —the whole vegetable
kingdom: I fight the heat, the frost, the
rain the hail—in short I fight the uni
verse, and get whipped in every battle,
i have no more admiration to waste ou

H EROISMTOFMOSTESEGRIM
Montenegrin women have the same
passionate attachment with the men- to
family and country, and display much of
the same valor. Goptchevitch supplies
a ; most remarkable example. A sister
and four brothers, the four of course well
armed, are making a- pilgrimage or ex
cursion to a church. The state of war
with the Turk being, nominal we need
not wonder when we learn- that they-are
attacked unawares on their, way, in a
pass where they proceed in single file,
by sereu armed Turks, who announce
themselves by shooting dead the first of
the brothers and dangerously wouuding
the second. The odds are fearful, but
the fight proceeds. The wounded man
leans against a rock, and though he re
oeives auother and fatal shot, kills two of
the Turks- before he dies. The sister
presses forward and grasps his rifle and
his dagger. At last all are killed on both
sides exceptingjberself and a single Turk.
She asks for mercy, and he promises it,
bat names her maidenly honor as the
price. Indignant, and perceiving that
now he is off his guard, she stabs, him
with the dagger. He tears it from her
hand, they close, and she dashes the
wretch over the precipice into, the yawn
ing depth below.
A PERILOUS TRIP.
A Kilr-Cirtlr Ride of Two *'vda
Wilier* tn a Miniag Flume,
A correspondent sends an account- of
the perilous journey downjthe mountains
of two Nevada miners, who- made the
trip in a mining fluine. The flume is
owned by Messrs. Mackey & Fairy and is
located in the mountains near Carson
City. It is about fifteen miles in length,
leading from a lofty elevation down to
the plain, and crossing in its course deep
ravines, skirting terrible precipices and
chasms, and presenting many sharp
curves. It is fed with water from Laite
Tahoe, and empties into a creek near
Carson Citv. This flume, said to be the
longest in the world, is used to carry down
timber which is cut on the mountains.
There are several places in its course
where tlie incline is slight, and visitors
are occasionally treated to a short trip
over these inclines in a boat constructed
for that purpose.- The t\vo men who
took the trip were workmen, who some
months ago conceived of the notion of
shooting down the entire length of the
flume. To carry out this foolhardy ad
venture they constructed a strong boat,
sharp at the bow and-square at the stern,
and fitting the flume closely enough to
keep it steady. The men describe the
trip as something terrific. The heavy
boat got a fearful headway, and'the men
had no means of stopping it. In shoot
ing round the curves" they thought it
would jump the flume and precipitate
them into the chasm that yawned be
neath. Down the steeper inclines the
boat sped with more than expressed train
velocity. The fifteen miles were passed
indess than.eleven minutes! From the
top of the mountain to where the flume
empties, the incline is gentle, and here
the boat gradually lost its terrific head
way, and at length glided smoothly into
the creek. Unharmed, but scared almost
out-of tlieir senses, the men stepped
ashore, and one of them was heard to
remark that he not make that
,trip again for all the silver and gold in
Nevada.
BATTLE OF A'Bo A'AND A* BULLDOG.—
A correspondent in Shughie Ujoug, writ
ting under date of April 16, gives the fol
lowing account of a remarkable encoun
ter between a boa fifteen feet long and a
bulldog. “The boa had been confined in
cage for some days, but having been dis
posed of to a Chinese doctor for its gall,
to be used as a medicine, lie was hauled
out of the cage on the 16th, to-be taken
away. “ The boa was immediately at
tacked'by the dog, who had-formerly had
a passage of arms with him. For some
time the boa was quiet, and only now
and then made a snap. The dog- got
hold at last and seized-the snake by the
’ head, but the tables were soon turned.
In an instant the boa had caught the
dog by the tipper lip and held firmly on,
the dog baekingvainly and-trying to get
away. In less than half a minute the
whole of the snake’s body had enfolded
the dog in so close an embrace that the
head only could be seen. Beforj chop
pers could bo procured bloodovas gushing
from the dog’s mouth, and I heard’ his
bones give one crack, and it was only by
chopping the boa to pieces that we sav
ed the dog. I found on exhibition that
the boa has very sharp, strong, recurved
teeth, not only in-the jaws, but also in
the palate bones, which accounts for the
dog being unable to extricate himself in
the first instance, for, the teeth being
like ‘ Yacune beecho/of South Africa
the more he struggled backwards the
tighter he was held by the boa. I may
add for the information of the friends of
the dog that he is none the worse for bis
squeeze.”
Invaluable Remedy.— This is the
season for cholera morbus, looseness, and'
stomarch-pains. Below is a never-fail
ing receipt fora mixture, which, if taken
in time, will afford instant relief:
Tincture opium.
Tincture camphor.
Tincture peppermint.
Tiucture rhubarb.
Tincture capsicum.
Equal quantities of each iu-a two ounce
phial. Shake well-before taking. Dose
for an adult, a teaspoonful, in a third of
a glass of water; swallow it down and be
relieved. This is know on the Ohio
river as Dr. Paddock’s cholera mixture,
and will slay even that dreaded king, if
applied in his incipieucy.
A FREE AHEAD.
A stranger wandered into a church in
San Francisco, but the services-not being
of such a character as to agree- with his
peculiar temperament, lie began to feel
I nervous and fidgety, and to wish that he
hadn’t come in. At last' the- presiding
officer remarked, that “ they would now
proceed with the ordination service.”
The stranger picked up his hat and pre
pared to leave. “And,” continued the
minister,.“ after that is over, there wilt
be a big collation spread up stairs, to
which-all are invited.” The stranger
settled back io and his bat drop
ped-to-the floor. To his neighbor,, who
had been eyeing him rather quizzically,
he whispered—“ I’ll see this service out,
if it breaks every bone in my body.”
