A most remaikable story comes to us from
Kliuira, N. V. A tramp went to sleep near
the Northern Central Railway, and threw his
legs across the track. When he awoke lie
tried to get up, but found he could not use
his legs. Upon investigation made, he ascer
tained that a train had passed over them,
severing one and breaking tho other. He
suffered no pain until he awoke, and then he
says he lay for an hour in agony.

Two gamblers were in Leavenworth, Kan.,
several years ago, with about SSO in their
pockets. They desired to get money enough
to go to California. They went to seperate
hotels. One registered as a physician, and
advertised a remedy for cholera. The other
put up a large quantity of yeast powders in
to sample packages, with a little croton oil
in each, and hired a boy to distribute them.
Soon family after family, affected by the cro
ton oil, felt what they believed, to be symp
toms of cholera. The sale of the cholera rem
edy was enormous, and the gamblers were
enabled to go to California. They now tell
the story through the Virginia City Enterprise.
An outrage unusually horrible, even for
t hat region, is reported to have occurred in
Osceola, Arkansas. Riley Conington. color
ed, killed two men about a year ago. lie es
caped, went to Cairo, 111., and worked there
as a barber. On Sunday of last week lie was
arrested am! taken to Osceola. Before his
departure he said that lie would not live fif
teen minutes after reaching that neighbor
hood. On his arrival in Osceola he was seiz
ed by a crowd, which tied his neck and feet
to ropes attached to males. The mules were
then goaded in oppsite directions, and the vic
tim was torn to pieces. A locality in which
such an act of cruelty could be deliberately
perpetrated cannot be regarded as civilized.
Yet it is no worse than the Kelsey murder,
perpetrated within a few miles of New York.
—A T . l. Sun.
A Newton county negro felicitously named
Billy White, is reported by the Enterprise as
having recently performed the following
feats :
To begin with : he raised four sacks of
guano, 300 lbs. to each sack, at once ; lifting
one in each hand, one in his teeth, and one
on his back. The guano, about 800 lbs.,
was made a present to him for his success,
lie is also said to have lifted Judge Summers
with his teeth bv a belt around the waist.
The Judge, we suppose, is one of the heaviest
tnen in the county.
At another time this Hercules caught a
steer by the fore leg and horn, and broke his
neck by throwing him over his bead. He
then butchered him, shouldered half of him,
and outrun anybody on the ground to the
tire where they were cooking.
Mind This.— No matter how intimate you
arc with the friend with whom you have busi
ness transactions—put your agreement in
writing. How many misunderstandings arise
from the loose way in which business is talked
over, and where each party puts his own con
struction, and the matter is dismissed with
the wordsr “all right.” Frequently it turns
out all wrong, and becomes a question for the
lawyers and the court. More than three
fourths of the litigation of the country could
be saved if the people would put down their
agreements in writing, and sign their names
to it. Each word has its peculiar meaning,
and memory may, by the change of a sentence,
convey an entirely different idea from that
intended. When once reduced to writing
# n
ideas are fixed, and expensive lawsuits—
avoided. Jtip
Martin Institute Exercises-
By reference to the local department of
the News, the reader will find an extended
account of the present week’s entertain
ment* The exercises opened last Sunday,
with a good sermon, preached by Rev. W. F.
Glenn. of Marietta. Ga. The sermon was
logical, well delivered, and no doubt found
its way into the hearts of many. The exam
inations of the Primary and Intermediate
classes began on Monday morning and clos
ed Tuesday evening with the advanced class
es. These examinations, as far as could be
ascertained, were highly satisfactory to those
present. The “exhibition” part of the exer
cises created more interest, as usual, than
the examinations. The declaiming and read
ing of the little boys and girls were very inte
resting. indeed ; and the extracts and origi
nals of the young men, and the compositions
of the young ladies, were, upon the whole,
quite entertaining. The exercises were
interspersed, throughout, with good music,
by the highly accomplished musical instruc
tress, Miss Myrtie McCarty. The musi
cal concert, by the young lad}' pupils was
quite creditable, though the programme was
rather lengthy. Taken as a whole, the per
formances of the pupils, large and small,
male and female, have added fresb laurels to
the name and fame of the “ Old Martin.”

of Gainesville. Ilis subject was masterly!

ability, time and space, to comment fully on
i this able address. It was, as has been re
marked by all who heard it, one of the finest
productions—setting forth the cultivated in
tellect as superior to physical force—to which
it has ever been the pleasure of a Jeffersonian
audience to listen ; and wo do hope the So
ciety will procure a copy for publication.
A COMMENDABLE FEATURE.
One noteworthy feature during the recent,
j Commencement, was the general good order
and behavior which prevailed throughout the
whole time—both in and out doors. It ap
pears there is some moral agency at work
in this part of our country and community,
jor the era of quietude and self-possession is
uppermost in the minds and hearts of the •
people. Order is heaven’s first law, and
when it is manifested on such occasions as
this, it never fails to give satisfaction.

Commencement,
Like Christmas, “comes but once a year,”
hence, a9 our office force of youths are former
pupils of the “Institute” and take an abiding
interest in the exercises and performances
of their young friends, the manager has
deemed it incumbent to allow them an oppor
tunity—as far as practicable—of mingling
with their acquaintances and being present
at most of the exercises of the week; and
should the reader detect any shortcomings in
this issue, these facts, it is hoped, will be
sufficient apology therefor. But should the
above not appear sufficiently “apologetic,”
we further beg our readers to remember that
on all such occasions there is a certain
amount of demoralization and confusion at
tendant, which renders it next to impossible
to attend to business as it should be done,
any way.
The Constitutional Convention
Was to meet on last Wednesday, and is,
therefore, now in session. By the mail which
arrives here on Friday, we may possibly re
ceive some account of the organization, elec
tion of officers, &c., of the Convention. It
will be the aim of the Forest News , as far as
is practicable with a country paper, to keep
its readers posted as to the proceedings of
this, at the present, all important assemblage.
Nashville Commercial Nurseries.
We were called on, last week, by Mr. It . N.
Gardner, who is representing and traveling
in the interest of the Nashville Commercial
Nurseries, Nashville. Tenn. lie carries with
him, specimens of all his fiuit, to show that
the trees he proposes to dispose of are just
what he represents them to be. Mr. Gardner
makes himself very pleasant and agreeable
while going to and fro in quest of purchasers
of his fine selection of Fruit Trees ; and add
ing energy to affability be makes a good
“drummer” for his company. We noticed
several of our good citizens patronizing him
and giving orders for trees. They will, we
are requested to say, please remember the
time of delivery, and be ready to receive and
“ settle up” for their purchases.
The Indians in the Northwest
Seem determined to give “ Uncle Sam” some
trouble. In the far-off section indicated
above, these savages arc on the war-path

the country appears to be entirely at their

—
Editor Forest News: —Sir—l saw an
inquiry in your paper of the 30th ult., made
by a correspondent of a State exchange, in
regard to paying tax on land where a note
lias been given for the same. I say such land
(or other property) is certainly double taxed.
If I sell my neighbor a piece of land or other
property, and take his note therefor, that is
evidence that I prefer the note to the proper
ty ; consequently. I ought to pay tax on the
note. But my neighbor ought not to be forc
ed to pay tax on the property until he be
comes bona fide owner by paying for it.
Now, where is the remedy ? Let each tax
payer be required to give in his property at
a fair value; then subtract from that the
amount of his indebtedness on which other
people are paying tax, and pay on the bal
ance : that, is all justice and equity requires,
and it is all the law should demand.
Our Convention meets to-day, and I hope
the delegates will make a good Constitution,
and, among other things, that they will re
store the Capital to Milledgeville. We do
not desire the luxury, at present, of being
taxed to the tunc of one or two million to
build anew State House, which will have to
be done, if the Capital remains where it is at
present.
1 would take great pleasure in correspond
ing. privately, with any gentleman who may
ditfer with me on the above important issue.

“A Breeze in the Ninth.”
The following from an Athenian corres
pondent of the Atlanta Constitution:
A political breeze is playing through the
ninth district—put in motion by a fan in the
dextrous hands of Emory Speer, Esq. The
friends of this young orator —and they are
ever legion—do not hesitate to say they intend
to support their favorite in the next campaign
on the same platform as in the last. They
assert that he represents a fair and equitable
adjustment of the representation of the district,
and that they will oppose the nominee of any
convention that does not adopt it. They say
that he was clearly beaten by the preconcert
ed candidacy of Archer, the republican, but
that they will be on watch for such tricks
next time.
There is another gentleman in this district
who was not treated fairly in the last race—
a man of decided ability, and who will make
a strong race before the people, whose friends
are waiting to teach some of the politicians
of this district a lesson. "We refer to Col. J.
A. Billups, of Morgan. II is county has never
failed to honor him, and we are aware that he
has many friends in the ninth who will demand
his nomination for congress.

CHANCELLOR TUCKER VINDICATED BY TIIE
STUDENTS.
Editor Morning News: As you have been
publishing articles in your paper in regard to
the University, and seem to take an interest
in its welfare, will you oblige the students
of the University by publishing the enclosed
resolutions? Respectfully,
A. R. Lawton, Jr.
RESOLUTIONS.
We, the students of the University of
Georgia, prompted by a spirit to do all men
justice, and knowing that the able Chancellor
of the University, Dr. H. H. Tucker, has
been grossly misrepresented, and his admin
istration unjustly attacked, do resolve—
First. That all statements to the effect
that Dr. H. H. Tucker has not the implicit
confidence of the students of the University
are totally false and without foundation.
Second. That in the opinion of the stu
dents his government, so far from being a
failure, has been unquestionably good and
attended with marked success.
Third. That while his discipline has been
characterized by firmness, lie has not failed
to be uniformly kind and courteous to the
students.
Fourth. That so much of the press of the
State- as is friendly to the University, be
requested to publish the above resolutions. I
Foreign War Dots.
From the mass of news furnished the daily
press, we clip the following paragraphs, as
about the “ latest” from the front: —
It is rumored that at the instance of Aus
tria and other powers, the Turks will with
draw from Montenegro. The Circassian
conspiracy is said to have been abandoned
by the Turks. The Russians are marching
through Bulgaria, though they have not }’et
occupied Tirnova. Having failed before Kars
and Batoum. the Russian blow will be con
centrated at the Balkan passes.
London, July 9. —A Reuter from St. Pe
tersburg says : “ According to reports receiv
ed here the Russian retreat in Asia is not
attributable to the rising which is virtually
suppressed but to the fact that the Russians
were too weak to overcome the Turkish force
whose strength had been underrated.
London. July 9.—A Doily News dispatch,
dated Erzcroum, Sunday, says the Russians
are advancing into the Olt Valley’. It is fear
ed this movement is in consequence of their
withdrawal from other points. The Turks are
moving troops to resist them.
Manchester. July 9.—The Guardian's
London correspondent says he understands
that the Government has information that the
Russians intend to occupy Constantinople at
all risks unless the Turks anticipate that event
by making peace on the Czar’s terms. The
effect of the receipt of this and other intelli
gence, as to Russian intentions, says the
correspondent, has been to modify very con
siderably the view taken of the crisis by cer
tain members of the Cabinet. The practical
outcome will probably be that if the more
energetic members should feel bound to
adopt an active policy, they will no longer be
opposed by those of .their colleagues who have
hitherto been disposed to caution. It is re
ported that powerful reinforcement is to be
sent to the squadron in Besika Bay.
London. July 9. —The Times , commenting
on recent reports of the movements of Aus
trian troops, says: “The Austrians can
scarcely delay much longer the inevitable
occupation of Bosnia. There is every reason
to believe that the Turks would withdraw
from the province rather than drive the court
of Vienna into the position of an open foe.
Erzeuoum, July 9. — Mukhtar Pasha has
effected a junction with a portion of t he <i:ir
rison of Kars at Techivelakya three miles
from the fort-ideal ion. The Russians continue
to retreat on Kurnkdara. Ismail Pasha is at
Murssum, three miles from the frontier. Gen.
Tergakassaff occupies a position on the fron
tier.
New Yoke, July 10.—A cable dispatch
says that the Russians occupied Tirnova after
a severe conflict. The Turks opposed the
invaders with their characteristic stubborn
ness, but the Russian cavalry behaved splen
didly during the fight and the Turks were
compelled to evacuate the town.
London, July 10. —A special from Constan
tinople to the Standard says: Complete
anarchy prevails. Beyond the lines of the
contending armies of the Bulgarians and
Circassians, the Tartars are murdering each
other indiscriminately.
Turkish accounts charge the Russians with
ruthless devastation in Bulgaria, and murders
and outrages against the mussulmans. The
Russians make similar charges against the
Turks with reference to the Bulgarian Chris
tians.
Rinderpest in Germany.
A POISON THAT ATTACHES ITSELF TO CATTLE,
FOWLS, CLOTHING, AND EVEN EARTH.
Washington, July s.—Henry J. Winser.
the United States Consul at Sonneberg, Ger
many, in a report concerning rinderpest, says :
“The poison of the rinderpest is difficult to
destroy. It, attaches readily to all substan
ces, and may be communicated for an indefi
nite period. Hides, dry or salted before
shipment, or frozen and salted after shipment,
if from infected animals, or if themselves
infected by contact, carry the infection to
foreign ports, and can infect animals at such
ports. The German Government strictly*
prohibits traffic, during seasons when the
disease is prevalent within or near its borders,
in all articles liable to carry the disease, within
infected districts. The poison will not only
propagate itself by means of neat cattle, but
will attach itself to sheep, goats, dogs, cats,
fowls, pigeons, &e. Hav, straw, wood, leath
er, and even the earth are media for its dis
persion. It is easily carried about by cloth
ing, especially woollen garments. Upon all
these objects the poison adheres for a very
long time without losing its active principle.
Hence the rigid rules enforced by the Govern
ment. which compel the destruction of hides
with the bodies of infected animals, regulate
the intercourse of the people and the move
ments and use of animals of infected places,
and enforce the complete isolation of diseased
cattle. Under the law, also, sound cattle
may be killed and other property destroyed
to prevent the spread of disease. In such
cases remuneration at a fair valuation is
made.” The report says that there need be
no fear of the exportation from German ports
to this or any country of infected hides or
other poisoned articles.
