Mr J. W. Clarke, while riding in the coun try the other dav. came across a medium size 3'ollow dog lying in the woods dead. On a close examination a squirrel was found in the dog’s mouth all swallowed except the tail.

THE STATE FAIR, From all the sources of information at hand, has been one of the grandest affairs of the kind ever held in the State of Georgia. Tele grams in the daily papers give most glowing accounts of the Fair in all its various depart ments and phases. Many distinguished per sons from abroad were present. Gen. Gordon delivered the speech of welcome to the vis itors, at 11 o’clock, A. M., on Wednesday last. Among other things of an entirely new and interesting character, a Grand Pyrotech nic display was to come off on Thursday night, under the auspices of the Confederate Memorial Association. The Ohio Election. It is generally conceded by the public prints, that Ilayes, the Radical candidate, has been elected Governor of Ohio by a ma jority of four or five thousand only. As to the “ cause” and “ effect” of this sad reverse to the Democracj*, not alone of Ohio, but of the entire country, we “step aside” and let wiser and older heads give explanation : Tiie Democratic Defeat in Ohio. —The Nashville American , an able and earnest op ponent of the money monopolists, closes an editorial on the result of the Ohio election with the following paragraph : “It may be that Governor Hayes has been elected. If so, it has been by a small majority. If so, it has been by superhuman efforts of the Radical party of Ohio, of the Radidal party of Pennsylvania, of the Grant administration, of the Radical party of every State in the Union and Democratic party of New York and Massachusetts. Governor Allen and the Democracy of Ohio have made a gallant fight against overwhelming odds. They have met Wellington and Blu cher and yet they have met no Waterloo. The money and the exertions which the [money power has expended in Ohio, cannot be repeated in every State of the Union. There is a limit to such expenditures. But there is no limit to the Democratic energy with which the people of every State in the Union will resist the aggressions of bank monopolists and money contraction ists. Wall street has poured out its gold; the bondholders have sent their missionaries into the most benighted regions of Ohio. If they have triumphed the}* have not conquer ed. The same battle is to be fought over in Pennsylvania. The mono}* which has been spent in Ohio cannot be again spent in Penn sylvania. Let not the Detnocacv be dis couraged. Let them rise up. They fight the people’s battle, and must ultimately prevail. Ohio Lost!—- We will not attempt to con ceal the fact that we are disappointed and somewhat alarmed by the result of the elec tion in this State. But we knew that the Republican party was making a gitantic ef fort, to recover it, and that all the advantage which money could give was greatly on their side. Had Gov. Allen triumphed, it would have been over extraordinary difficulties and influences. We had so much confidence in the strengt h of the cause which he represen ted, that we did with some confidence count on its success. As it is, our Democratic friends have made a very stout fight in Ohio, and their loss of the State by so small a ma jority this year affords no evidence that the Radicals will carry it next year, when their exertions and money cannot be concentrated on a single State. A majority of eight or ten thousand in a vote of five hundred thousand is by no means large or decisive. When we can present in a more tangible form than we now can exhibit, the extraordi nary difficulties which the Democrats of Ohio had to fight in this campaign, it will be very clearly seen that they have a cause strong with the people , and that the latter are likely to rise with renewed strength for another conflict after this reverse.— Columbus En quirer. The Queer. A WARNING FOR THOSE WHO HAVE ANY MONEY. Some antique party announced that there is no rose without its thorn, and no good thing without a leaven of bad is the general conclusion drawn from the poetic figure. As we all “passed right upon the inside*’ of the late circus and enjoyed the good things—ele phants, trained dogs, trained babies, reserved seats and all !—we are admonished to look out for the bitter which surely accompanies the pleasures. It appears that immediately after the pres ence of the circus elsewhere, the city that had been honored suddenly found itself '‘in flated’’ with any amount of ‘'rag money,” of the shape and quality commonly called “the queer,’’ in other words, Counterfeit Mon ey is reported to be among the things dealt out by some, of the attaches or followers of the show. The appearance of such money in Memphis is traced to the opera tions of circus men in that city, and our peo ple in Atlanta should carefully watch the money they handle for some time to come, as not only the city, but most certainly the rural districts, will be inflated with the spu rious money. The bills set afloat are said to be counterfeits upon the following banks: First National, Lockport. N. Y., $10; Tra ders'. Chicago, $5 ; Third National, Chicago, $5 : Merchants’, Chicago. $5 ; First National, Philadelphia. $10; Ninth National, N. Y., $2; First National. Canton, 111., $5; First National, Paxton, 111.. $5 ; City Bauk, Pough keepsie, New York, $lO ; First National. Red Hook, X. Y. city, $100; Central, Rome, N. Y., $lO. Our readers cannot be too careful in re ceiving bills tallying with the above descrip tions . — At. Constitution. CJPThe Augusta Chronicle compiles from a recent work issued by the bureau of statis tics, the average prices of factory labor in the northern and southern states. The figures show that there is a difference of twelve per cent, in favor of the southern mills—a very heavy difference in manufac turing, in which the labor account is the most important item of expenditures. IdPln consequence of the omission in the last general tax act of the usual words “for each* performance,” the Attorney General has decided that any minstrel company, upon the payment of twenty-five dollars are entitled to an annual license allowing them to play in the county any number of times during the year.— At. Const. Qualities of a Good Collector. —Pa- tient as a post, cheerful as a duck, sociable as a flea, bold as a lion, weather-proof as a rubber, cunning as a fox, and watchful as a sparrow-hawk. For the Forest News. Mulberry Association. The above named body convened with the church at Walnut Fork, on Saturday, Oct. 16th. The introductory sermon was preach ed by Elder G. L. Bagwell, from 6th chapter of Matthew, 23d verse : “ If, therefore, the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness?” The sermon was sound — advice good, and the propriety of men and women professing religion, demeaning them selves properly, was ably discussed. Elder J. M. Davis was elected Moderator, and W. A. Cain, Clerk. The usual business ithe Association was transacted harmoni sl v, and a spirit of union characterized the entire session. On Sunday, at 10 o’clock, the writer occu pied the stand. At 11 o’clock, Elder J. M. Davis preached a Missionary sermon to a large and attentive congregation. We do not remember having seen better order observed bv so large a congregation, which speaks well for our friends of old Jackson. During an intermission, all participated liberally of the hospitality of the church and vicinity, after which Elder Hartwell Jackson preached a sermon, scriptually true, such as generally characterizes that old father in Israel. The Association convened again on Mon day. Prayer by Elder W. 11. Bridges. The business was resumed and finished with the same degree of pleasantness as on Saturday before. After an affectionate address by the Moderator, prayer by Elder Hartwell Jack son. and a hearty shaking hands, the meeting adjourned with brotherly love and affection. The kindness and hospitality shown the members of the body while in session, speaks in terms of praise of the church at the Wal nut and vicinity. The next session of this body will be held with the church at Alcova, Gwinnett county, 5 miles East of Lawrencevillc, on Saturday before the Ist Sabbath in October next. Mulberry , Ga„ Oct. 21, 1875. R. A Grand Georgia Enterprise—the Great Events of the Coming Year. No man or family should be without a newspaper. It is the most intelligent and entertaining visitor to any household, and is the best of all educators. Besides this ad mitted fact, there are now additional reasons for subscribing to a good newspaper. Per haps no year of the last half century furnish ed a greater combination of Important and Thrilling events than will the year approach ing. The Presidential contest, the Guber natorial election, the Centennial and other Great Events transpire. As in the past, so in the future, the Atlanta Constitution, published at the Capital of the State, will be foremost in the Chronicling of all News, Political, Commercial, Agricultural, Religions, of Legislatures and Conventions. A Democratic Journal, it is independent of all Political or Personal influences, and is Free to devote itself to the best interests of the people of Georgia and the South. It is accepted through the Union as the represent ative paper of-the State. The Constitution is known as The People’s Paper. It has at i tained a prosperity as such second to no pa per in the South. Asa Family Journal, ! containing Political and Literary Reading, | General News, Stories, Poetry. Humor, and | Political Information, it is popular in many ! States. Additional features of interest have ! been lately added, making it a still more ! welcome visitor to every home. The Constitution, having been the means of opening up North Georgia to the people of this country as never before done, is now organizing the Expedition for the Explora tion of the Great Okefenokee Swamp, the terra incognita of Georgia. Several months will be devoted to the work, which will be of service to the State, and mark an era in its history. Subscriptions should be made at once to secure full reports of this Expedition, which will furnish most valuable information and rich adventures. A marked feature of the Constitution will be its Department of Humorous Reading, origi nal and selected. No pains will be spared to equal in this respect to any newspaper in the country. In fine, the Grave, the Gay, the Useful and the Entertaining will be pre sented to its readers. Upon a basis of as sured prosperity, it will be able to fulty exe cute all its undertakings. The Daily Constitution is furnished, post age paid. at $10,60, $5,30 for six months; $2,65 for three months ; SI,OO for one month.

Address W. A. Hemphill & Cos. Atlanta. IJpThe Columbus Enquirer tells the fol lowing story of a surgical operation : A tailor in Columbus has rooms in an up per story, the windows of which open on a court yard. One day they were open. A chicken flew in. He of the shears had no one to halve his fortunes, he wanted a pet, was not able to keep a wife, and hence adopt ed the youthful chanticleer. The chicken was tied to a table, and soon became very gentle. Though at liberty, it refused to leave the room, and fed from the hands of his master, lit on his shoulder and performed many ami able tricks suitable to fowl nature. The days went on. Chicken became sick. Had been eating too many oats, lay on the floor, and seemed to be giving up the ghost and ending a life in pleasant places. Our tailor resolved on a surgical operation on his own hook, as a last resort. With his shears he cut open the stomach of that bird, and having done so, washed out the craw with warm water (he found the indigestible oats), sewed up the wound, and observed the result. Chicken began to revive. Tailor handed him corn. Fowl partook of it with wonderful gusto, and refreshing itself with water, crowed as lively as if nothing had happened. USPMr. James U. Vincent, who was recent ly married to Miss Louise Gabrielle St}des, will probably be connected hereafter with the Albany Neics. Mr. Vincent is a pleasing and vigorous writer, and will add (if that is possi ble) to the merit of that journal. Said a distinguished politician to hie son ; “ Look at me ! I began as an alderman, aud here 1 am at the top of the tree, aud what is my reward ? Why, when I die, my eon will be the greatest rascal in the city.” To this the young hopeful replied ; “Yes. dad, wheu you die—but not till then.” BP The Supreme Court of Georgia, on Tuesday, reversed the decison of the Superior Court in the case of Whittle vs. Webster, from Muscogee. This was an action brought by plaintiff to recover damages al leged to have been sustained to his goods by the leaky condition of a store rented from defendant. The Superior Court Judge charged the jury that “if the house rented was subject to leakage from rain at the time rented, and being thus subject to leakage, and the goods of the plaintiff were damaged from leakage to which it was subject at the time rented, the defendant is not liable for such damage to the plaintiff's goods. It is the duty of the landlord to put such repairs on the rented premises as will keep them in the condition they were when rented, thus much and no more, and a landlord does not insure against leakage and damage there from to the tenant,” The Supreme Court decides that this charge was erroneous, holding that “if the tenant pays the landlord a fair and reasonable rent for the store house rented, as being suitable for the purpose for which he rented it, he is entitled to have it kept in repair by the landlord for that pur pose under the provision of our Code.”—Co lumbus Enquirer. BP The Griffin News is not so compli mentary to the “press gang” of Georgia as some of them are of themselves and their favorites. It says : “While it may be true that the Georgia press has no “trained journal ist,” there is one thing certain, that in many respects it has more trained damphools than any other State, and can get up the biggest smoke from the least fire of any crowd liv ing. We want to hitch them all four-a-breast at the Macon Fair, and have Jennings Clay to trot the cussed foolishness out of them, so that they can come square down to work.” A Texas judge is credited with the follow ing neat descision ; “The fact is, Jones, the jail is an old rickety affair, as cold as an iron wedge. You applied to this court for release on bail, giving it as your opinion that you would freeze to death there. The weather has not moderated, and to keep you from freezing I will direct the sheriff to hang you at 4 oclock this afternoon.” “Papa, did you see those nice little guns down to the store ?” asked a little six-year old boy. “Yes, Harry, I saw them. But I have so many children to feed and clothe that I cannot afford to buy j t ou one,” replied his father, seriously. Little Harry glanced at the baby in the cradle with no loving ex pression on his face. Finally he said, “Well, papa, I’ll tell j’ou what you can do ; you can swap little Tommy for a gun.” Hero Hibertisemmts. NOTICE.
