IdT In our little town, the other day. the pleasant intercourse and enjoyment of a fam ily repast at the dinner hour, was brought to an abrupt conclusion by the stealthy entrance of “pussy" with a live snake in her mouth, which she quiet ly deposited under the table, and then, cat-like, sat watching its move ments until it was discovered. The desert remained untasted—at least, for the time being. Society Elections. The elections of Martin Literary Society, For next Commencement, are as follows : P. W . Davis, Anniversarian : W. Z. Faust and R. 11. Kinnkbrew, Society Orators; J. M. Mayne, W. E. Nunn, J. O. Shirley and Robert Thompson, Society Declaimers. Measles in Homer. We regret to learn, as we do from Prof. W. 11. Simpkins, ” Principal of Banks County Academy, that the measles have broken out in his school, from which cause lie has been forced to suspend for a few weeks. We hope soon, however, to hear of the entire abate hnent of the disease and the resumption of t ie exercises of the Academy. Tall Oats. J. E. Randolph, Esq., who is, in addition to all his other good qualities, an excellent farmer, left at the News office a few days since, a sample of a 40 acre lot of oats, that beats anything of the kind we have seen late ly. The heads of most of the stalks were nineteen inches in length with the grain in proportion. The stalks measured alxmt sev en feet in height. It is commonly believed he has more oats than “ Carter" had. Municipal Laws of Jefferson. A good deal of complaint has been made regarding the non-publication of the town laws. There is now no necessity for this complaint to longer exist. The Ordinances can lie very easily laid before the pub lic ; it not all at once, they can be published in nil week to week until they are all made 1 public. And then, he “ that runs may read." I Let the "city fathers ’ look into the matter. The Athens Press Had two representatives in town during Court, in the persons of Col. J. H. Christy, of the Watchman . and Capt. J. E. Ritch, of the Georgian. Both these gentlemen paid their respects to The Forest News, and we thus publicly return our acknowledgements for the complimentary manner in which they were pleased to express themselves in regard to the “ fixtures,” &c., of our little office. We were sorry to see, however, they were both “ down with the same complaint"'— scarcity of money ; and if there is any truth Or con solation in the old proverb that “misefy loves company,” we can assure them that “ there's a few more left o f the same sort !** And just here, in this connection, we beg to make an apology for an oversight in not mentioning the fact in our last week's issue, that Col. John B. Estes, of Gainesville, paid us a visit a few days previous. The Col. is the same genial, clever gentleman as ever—• and looks in as good trim and keeping as if he had never engaged in a race with Geor gia's giant intellect —Hon. B. 11. Ilill. More Good News. From the farm of Mr. S. McElhannon, we have received, through the courtesy of Dr. J. D. Long, a cotton stalk some 26 inches in height, well filled with forms. The Dr, in forms us that this is a tolerably fair average stalk, though he noticed some smaller ones on which were a larger number of forms. And now. that Jackson has her own organ, it is hoped her citizens will let the world know what they can do. Bring on your “re sources, *' gentlemen ! Our Paper Last Week, From a cause entirely uncontrollable on our part, was rather poorly printed ; still, notwithstanding this, we are pleased to note that it was well received both by the public and the press. This we repeat in no spirit of vanity ; but believe and trust these marks of approval will stimulate eVcfy One concern ed to renewed energy and zeal ill endeavor ing to make the N ews what it is intended to be—a reliable and welcome sheet in every household. Acknowledgment. We should prove ungrateful indeed, were we to omit returning our thanks to the many kind friends who have assisted in various ways in starting up our office in Jefferson. To mention the individual names of all would no doubt, not be in accordance with their wishes, and while we would make no dis tinction, still, we hope to be pardoned for paying our particular respects to our young friend, Mitch Burns. Esq., not only for his courtesy and assistance in arranging ti e mail-book of the office, but for many other urnilar acts. Mr. Burns is one of Jetfcrson's noblest young men, and it is quite probable that many a "maiden fair” as she notes his ittcntion to business, his gentlemanly bear ing and deportment and his handsome form and features. " heaves a gentle sigh - ’ and silently asks the question, “Wonder if it ’ll be me ?” More Wheat. Our little article last week in regard tot-1 e sample of wheat from I)r. 11. ,J. Long, now brings J. I). Johnson, Esq., to the “ front” with a sample of his crop. 'Hie sample heads left with ns by the last named gentleman are. ac cording to our humble judgment—in length and fullness of grain—a little ahead of those mentioned in our last issue. And with these two samples before us. and the usual encour aging reports wc hear of the crop throughout the country, We are quite “hope up” in our anticipations for the future. If the people can, by any moans, still induce the Western meat-sellers to fhmish them with a little “grease" from time to time, why, the chances are, that they can have “ shortened” biscuit next fall and winter, at all events. IdP"Several of the “mercantile fraternity” from Athens were in town during the first of the Week. As to their mission, “this de ponent" saitli not. But suppose they were simply pleasure seekers and acknowledging the hospitality and courteousness of the peo ple of Jackson, desired to spend a short time with us. If this was not the reason, we can’t pretend to unravel the mystery. They cer tainly couldn't have been '‘looking for money!" If they were, we know of but one way to get it. and that is to advertise in The Forest News. “Oniony.” To two of Jackson's most respectable citi zens are we indebted for some of the finest onions we have seen for a long time. We al lude to Micager Williamson. Esq., who lives some five miles east of Jefferson, and Mr. J. P. Williamson, Sr., of tills place. The samples sent to this office by these gentlemen, show conclusively what can be done by careful at tention and proper teork. We return our thanks to our respected fellow--citizens, and would here take the liberty to admonish those who are tired of raising “cheap cotton” to try a crop of onions. In our humble opinion, “ there's money in it!’’ Mr. Micager Wil liamson. for the benefit of all concerned, gives the following as his method of raising this very necessary esculent: “ Dig a ditch or trench some 4 or 6 inches deep ; fill up with hen manure or the scrap ings of the hen-house. This done, get some river sand and cover the “ setts."’ Editor Forest News —Dear Sir: —ln the ! church directory in your first issue, the church in Chandler's District, known as the Chapel, and also the First UnirersalrSt church of Jack son county, at Centre II til, of which the Rev.

And we make this explanation in advance, so that every one may know if an error has occurred it has been purely unintentional, and we shall be more than pleased to correct it. Legal Visitors during Court. In addition to our local bar, there were in attendance during the session of Court this week, the following representatives of the legal fraternity: lion. j. J. Floyd, of Covington ; Col. Ga briel Nash, of Madison county; Col. John C. Reid, of Uriioil Point; Col. S. P. Thur mOnd, Solicitor Gerft Emory Speer, Col. A. S. Erwin, Judge A. L. Mitchell and L. W. Thomas, Esq,, of Athens ; Cols. E. M. John son and W. L. Marler, of Gainesville ; Col. G. M. Netherland, of Clar’kesville; Col. D. A. Walker, of Monroe ; Hoil. J. J. Turnbull and B. F. Wofford. Esq., of Homer, Crop Prospects in Jacksorl. From all the information obtainable up to Friday morning, from the different sections of the county, the prospect for fair crops is quite encouraging; though at this time—Fri day evening—rain is needed, perhaps all over the county, but certainly in the imme diate vicinity of Jefferson. It is estimated by good judges that the tv heat Crop of the county will be an “average,” and that har vesting will be about completed the present week ; the farmers will then have ample op portunity to go to work in earnest in their corn and cotton fields, preparatory to a de cent and cleanly “laying by.” With this view as regards the future, may we not feel hopeful that the low spirits of all our people will be cheered and revived, the murmurings of the croakers and grumblers be forever hushed, and man, woman and child move qui etly along—each in his allotted sphere—con*' tented and happy as a “ marriage bell.*’ Adjourned Spring Term, Jackson Superior Court. Ilis Honor, Judge Geo. D. Rice, with the usual number of necessary functionaries and the Solicitor General of the Circuit, Emory Speer, Esq., Opened the adjourned session of the Superior Court at this place on Mon day morning last, at 10 o'clock. Elsewhere will be seen the names df the Grand Jurymen selected, chosen and sworn for the occasion. The Court having been Organized and the Grand Jury instructed as to Their duties in an elaborate and appropriate ‘'charge' by his 1 lonor the Judge, the first, ease—and the only one of interest trie l during the called up immediately after the dinner hour, it being the State vs. Newton Bell, (ddl.); the crime charged against the defendant was "Bestiality." The State was represented by the Solicitor General, ably assisted by Col. W. I. Pike; while Col. W. L. Marler and 1. A. 1L Mahaffey, Esq., appeared for the defendant. After an investigation of ten or twelve hours, conducted on both sides with much legal ability and acumen, the case was sub mitted to the Jury about one o'clock, A. M.. Tuesday, and about day-break a verdict of “ Guilty” was announced. A small negro boy, gome twelve years old, who had been in jail since February, charged with a similar offence to the above, was dis charged on account of .his youthfulness. The case of the two Busbin boys—•"charged with burglary, in breaking open tlie inill house of Mr. Williamson, a few months since* was, on account of the absence of important witnesses, laid over. There was some other business of minor importance transacted during the session of the Court, of course ; but, as before remark ed. the above mentioned ease was the only oUe that elicited any particular attention. His Honor, Judge Rice's course, in hasten ing through with the business and adjourning Court at about 12 M„ on Tuesday, meets the hearty approbation of the citizens, as it is a most important season With most of them — wheat harvesting being the order of the day at this time among the farmers. Everything passed off quietly and harmo niously ; very little, if any, of the usual ex citement and coif fusion incident to such occasions being apparent; and on Wednes* day forenoon (the time of this Writing) the little town of Jefferson is as tranquil as a “ Spring morning.” We cannot close this article without notic ing. very briefly, the fact—judging from our own stand-point—of the careless, callous and unconcerned manner in which the negro, Newton Bell, seemed to view passing events. We saw him, it is true, but once during the trial. This was when Court had adjourned for supper Monday night. At that time, he was talking in a jovial and easy-going style— uncoftsciOns. or at least, apparently so, of the heinousness of his crime, and evincing no concern whatever as to its consequences; and as to whether the sentence, passed by the Judge before final adjournment, of “the Penitentiary for life"—made any change oil his mind or demeanor. We know not—as we saw him no more during the trial or since. Appended will be found a “ copy of the Grand Jury Presentments”—that Hon. body in its hurry to “ get loose*’ on Monday even ing, forgetting to order their publication orfi cialiy: general presentments of the grand ju ry, JACKSON ADJOURNED TERM, FEBRUARY COURT, JEFFERSON, JACKSON CO., GA., JUNE 14th, 1975. We, the Grand Jurors, chosen' and sworn for February adjourned term Of Jackson Su perior Court, sitting at the above date, re spectfully beg leave to make the following General Presentments: 1. We have examined the books of the Ordinary and the County Treasurer, through our appropriate committees, and find them well and neatly kept. The books of the Re ceiver of Tax Returns, the Tax Collector and Clerk of the Superb# CfWrt., have, for want of sufficient time, been passed over un til August Term. 2. We further find the Jail in aii Unsafe and bad condition ; and though to some ex tent impracticable, we respectfully recom mend that the Jailor keep it in a uidteeiPan ly condition. 3. We also recommend that from arid after the present term of this Court, that the Tax Collector pay the County Tax at the same time that the State Taxes are paid, and that he be allowed no insolvent list until he has issued executions and they have been duly returned without property being found. 4. We' recommend that the bridge at J. N. Thompson's mills have anew covering, and that the McLeskey bridge be moved to its proper place and repaired; 5. We a1.,0 recommend and appoint James L.

We recommend that the Commissioners of Roads and Revenue levy fi (ax sufficient for County purposes. 7. To His Honor. George D.

Mr. Editor :—l take it for granted that every man who has energy enough to sow and harvest wheat, has judgment and public spirit enough to paf for and read a newspaper. If he does the first; and fails to do the last, he is only a part o'f a ffiaffi and sadly needs com pleting. This is my preface. Surely it will not be out, of place for one who has been milling half a century, to offer a suggestion to wheat-growers as to the pre paration of wheat for the mill. As the wheat is now harvesting, and will shortly be thresh ed, the present is a suitable time to tell every one who takes wheat to mill, before doing so, to dry it well in the stf.lt after it has been fan ned. None but finders know how important it is to the owner of the wheat to have it com pletely dry when ground, It matters little how good the wheat may bd, if it is ground damp, the yield of flour will bt* Small. When we recollect how necessary It is to the general prosperity that make their bread at home, and when we knoff that for the first two months after harvest—and with many it is the case throughout the year —almost every one, in his haste to eat the firsx, fruits of his labor, carries half dried wheat to mill, and thus actually throws away from ten to twenty per cent, of the flour in the grain, it is not surprising that so many are short of wheat before the ensuing harvest. If the failiffe iii the wheat crop of the State were in any one year just equal to the waste made by having damp wheat ground, it is a question whether anew book of Lamentations would not have to be written, Now, since we have been blessed with fair crops of wheat, let us show that we have also been blessed with anew and strong purpose to make it go as far as it can be made to go in supplying bread. If so full-handed as to care nothing for the loss you sustain in the manner pointed out, show that you will add to the general pros perity by sunning your wheat well before having it ground, and if the surplus thus generated should be in your Way, you can find some needy person with hungry children who wiil bless you for presenting to them a few bushels of wheat. To labor hard to make a crop, and then to waste a part of it because one is in such a hurry to make something else to waste that he cannot spare the time to save it, is not very wise. If any one gets in this sort of hurry, lie would do well to put ouA his wheat to sun at once, and while stirring it and keeping off the fbwls, to collect his “few scattered thoughts,” that he may resume his work a wiser and stronger man. Many persons are misled by the fact, that some millers dampen dry wheat to make good flour. I believe this is sometimes done by good millers, though I never do it. They en deavor to make the outside of the grain a lit tle damp, while the inside remains dry. that a more complete separation may be effected of the bran from the kernel. What I have said is intended to apply to wheat damp through and through. If the whole grain outside and inside is not first dried, it is not possible to make the outside damp and the inside dry.

From a most reliable source we learn that a stalwart negro woman, aged about 35, and living on the plantation of Mr. G. L. Jor dan. in this county, gave' birth to four mon strosities one day last week. One of them had two perfectly formed htimati heads and a body like that of a dog, Another Was more singularly formed ; its body was shaped like that of a chicken and was Coveted with literal pin feathers, while its head was that of a per fect pig. The other two had no very remark able features save that both of them had each four perfectly formed legs and arms.—Stand ard. Greenesboro'.—Mr. R. 11.

The Philosopher and the Ferryman. A philosopher stepped on board a ferryboat to cross a stream ; on the passage he inquir ed of the ferryman if he understood arithme tic, The nlan looked astonished. “Arith metic? No, sir; never heard of it before.” The philosopher replied. “ I am very sorry ; for one quarter of your life is gone.” A few minutes after lie lisked the ferryman, “ Do you know anything of mathematics ?*’ The boatman Smiled and replied, “ No.” “ Well, then,” said the philosopher, “another quarter of your life is gone.” A third question was aSked the ferryman : “Do you Understand astronomy ?” Oh ! no, no ; never heard of sUch a thing.” “Well, tity friend, then another quarter of youf life IS gone.” Just at this moment the boat fad on a rock and was sinking, when the ferryman jumped up, pulled off his coat, and asked the philosopher with great earnestness of manner, “ Sir, can you swim ?” “ Nosaid the philosopher. “ Well, then.” sSid the ferryman, “ your whole life is lost; for the boat is going to the bottom.” Tran fusion of blood is becoming popular since the success attending the experiments upon Gen.
