Melancholy and Fatal Accident.
It becomes our sad duty to chronicle a
most deplorable and fatal accident that oc
curred at the Tannery of the Messrs. Ran
dolph, of this place, on Thursday afternoon
last, and by which one of the old and
highly respected citizens of Jackson, Mr.
Thos. J. Morrison, lost his life.
Not being familiar with the premises, we
may not be able to give the particulars with
that accuracy desired, Mr. Morrison was a
tanner, and was employed at his trade at the
above named place. Some portion of the
machinery in the tatinery is propelled by a
large over-shot wheel—probably a 24 foot
wheel. Around the rim of this wheel is a sort
of boxing about eighteen inches wide—and
to be cleaned and rinsed, hides are frequent
ly thrown into the wheel, the water turned
on, and thus, as it revolves, the desired end
is gained. It would appear from all the cir
cumstances—no one being close by at the
time—that Mr. Morrison had gone into the
wheel, (it being stationary,) to take out hides
previously placed there for the purpose above
mentioned, and that while in this position,
the waste water that is constantly running
over the wheel, filled the buckets and thus
caused it to turn in the usual way. At this
point, it is supposed that Mr. Morrison made
an attempt to escape from the now revolving
wheel, by jumping, and the timbers being
wet and slippery, it is presumed he fell be
tween the wheel and the works surrounding
it; at any event, from the condition in which
lie was found by a gentleman working in
another department, the only person on the
premises—and who was attracted by the cries
of the unfortunate man—it was evident his
whole body had been forced through a space,
between a large post and the wheel, not ex
ceeding/our and-a-half or jive inches! and
so tightly was his body wedged in against
a heavy rock wall that the wheel had ceased
to move, and it was with the greatest difficul
ty he was extricated. After hard work,
however, this was accomplished and he was
placed on a wheel-barrow and rolled into a
house near at hand. Medical aid was sum
moned at once, and everything done that
could he, for his relief. Several ribs on each
side w'ere broken, and so severe were the in
ternal injuries otherwise, that the attending
physician, Dr. IT. J. Long, expressed his be
lief that it was impossible for the unfortunate
man to survive them.
The accident occurred about o'clock,
and as he could not be moved otherwise, a
litter was constructed and on this Mr. Morri
son was brought over in town, about dusk,
to the residence of his son-in-law, Mr. F. M.
Bailey, where, after a night of intense suffer
ing, he breathed his last at day-light yester
day (Friday) morning.
Mr. Morrison was an old citizen of Jack
son—born in the county—and was, at the
time of his death, in his 72d i 7 ear. He had
long been a most exemplary member of the
Baptist Church; was a hard-working man,
and was highly esteemed by all who had
the pleasure of knowing him. A proper tri
bute to his memory will, no doubt, be given
by someone more capable and better acquain
ted with his life than the writer of these lines.
He leaves a grief-stricken widow, several
children, and friends innumerable to lament
his sudden and melancholy decease.

The usual Commencement Party came off

been a very agreeable affair, and we have no

lads who attended. Professors Glenn and

present, and others of the graver sort We re

Tribute of Respect,
Adopted by Centre church, Mulberry Cir
cuit, in Conference held July 3d, 1875 :
Whereas, The Great Shepherd has remov
ed from the fold militant to' the fold triumph
ant, another one of our flock, our beloved
brother, Berriman S. Camp, who closed his
earthly career June 17th, 1875, therefore
Resolved, That we magnify the grace of
God in our departed brother, by winch from
early manhood to ripe old age, he was enabled
to maintain, unblemished, his Christian pro
fession, and by which, though not taken as
the “ tender blade, but as the full grown ear,”
he constantly and beautifully exhibited, in
all the relations of life, the spirit of Christ.
Resolved, That those who naturally lament
his death are encouraged, though in sorrow,
“ not to grieve as those who have no hope
and all who knew him should be admonished
by his death, to prepare for the important
time when they must la} 7 aside their mortal
robes and appear in the presence of their
God.
Resolved. That a page in our Church Jour
nal be inscribed to the memory of the deceas
ed, and the publication o£ these resolutions
be requested in the Southern Christian Ad
vocate and Forest News.

The Revenue Raid on the Smokers.
The idea of stamping each separate cigar
seems to have actually taken hold on the of
ficial mind in Washington, and Commissioner
Pratt has prepared a circular for issue to
Revenue Collectors, directing them to ex
hibit the proposed “coupon stamp” to cigar
manufacturers and report their opinion of its
feasibility. In addition to the stamp now
placed on the outside of each cigar box, the
new design has coupons attached, one of
which is to be placed on each cigar after it
has been manufactured and before packing in
the box. The stamps and coupons are made
for boxes of twenty-five, fifty and one hun
dred cigars. It is argued that the adoption
of this design will effectually prevent cigars
from being packed in boxes that have been
previously used, and on which the old stamps
may not have been destroyed. Each cigar as
well as each box will bear evidence of having
paid the tax, and as stamps and coupons are
furnished with consecutive and corresponding
numbers, any attempt at fraud will be readilv
detected.— Nashville Union JJ- American.
Music Without Hands.
AN ELECTRICAL MACHINE THAT READS NOTES
AND PLAYS AN ORGAN WITH TWO HUNDRED
FINGERS.
Philadelphia, June 11.—The acme of ma
chine music appears to have been attained in
an ingenious invention just perfected by
Messrs. Schmole, of this city 7 , winch was ex
hibited last evening in Horticultural Hall to
a few invited guests. The apparatus rea ls
notes and plays upon an organ with absolute
correctness of time and touch, the only assis
tance given it by the operator being to feed
in the end of a roll of music and start the
machinery in motion. Organs have been
played by electricity before, but the only part
performed ly 7 the electric fluid has been to
transmit the power from a distant bank of
ke3 T 9to open the valves of the instrument.
Such an electrical organ has been exhibited
in London for some time past. In the Schmole
instrument the electric current is endued with
a seeming intelligence, and distinguishes the
notes in the same way that a blind man does
—by feeling. Marvelous as this appears at
first thought, it is simple enough. The score
is written on a long roll of stout paper ly r cut
ting holes through it in the form of squares
or parallelograms. The reading instrument,
which is about as large as a sewing machine,
is provided with a multitude of small brass
fingers, each of which is connected by a wire
with the pipe of the organ which it operates.
The roll of music is fed in over a brass tube.
When the fingers rest on the paper no elec%
trie current is transmitted, because paper is
a non-conductor ; but whenever they fall into
the holes cut in it they touch the brass be
low, the current is transmitted and the sound
produced.
The length of the note is governed by the
length of the slit in the paper. A noiseless
bellows machine, run by wind conducted
through a pipe from the organ, works the
feeding apparatus. To aid in producing or
chestral effects, drums, cymbals, bells, etc.,
are added to the ordinary pipe organ, and
operated by electricity in the same manner
as the pipes. A greatly increased volume of
sound and much richer harmonic combina
tions can be made by this instrument than it
is possible for a single performer to produce
upon an organ, in consequence of the fact
the performer has only his ten fingers, while
the electrical machine has two hundred, and
can strike as many notes at once as desired.
All the notes on the organ that can be com
bined into a chord can be brought out togeth
er. The two overtures to “Semiramide” and
4 ‘William Tell” were performed with pleas
ing effect. As the reading instrument is me
chanically accurate, and the score correctly
written, there were of conrse no false notes.
It was obviously machine music, however, but
machine music of the highest order, and might
readily have been mistken for the perform
ance of a well-drilled but rather spiritless or
chestra. The inventors hope soon to apply
their device to a piano. —Correspondence New
York Tribune.
The Marietta Journal learns that on last
Wednesday, while a party of fifteen men were
engaged in running a threshing machine,
near Alpharetta, a heavy cloud and rain came
up, and a bolt of lightning struck In the
midst of the crowd, killing three men out
right, 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 father miraculously escaping
unhurt.

from menstrual irregularity, and having been
treated without benefit by various medical doctors,
were at length completely cured by one bottle of
Dr. J. Bradfield’s FEMALE REGULATOR. I
therefore deem it my duty to furnish this certificate
with the hope of drawing attention of suli'ering wo
mankind to the merits of a medicine whose power
in curing irregular and suppressed mensration, has
been proven under my own personal observation.
