K Defence for Kerosene.
Clarksville, Ga., )
Jluy 28th,1873. ]
Editor* North-East Georgian.
Gentlemen:—Under the head of
“ Georgia Rant” in your issue of the
25th inst., I find this: “A Yoon.*
lady, the daughter of Mr. Hatcher,
of Calhoun county, was burned to
death by a Kerosene Explosion a few
days ago.”
Now the mere publication of this
item of news may seem to some people
to be a matter of very little c >nse-
quence; and it may be to you nothing
; ratten from
jwper. But I
some other Georgia
wish to ask some questions just here
that I would like the originator of that
item of news to answer. I do not
doubt that the unfortunate young
lady was burned to death, which is
too often the case; but was it Kerosene
Oil that did it ? Have you, or any
other person, ever known Pure Keroren •
Oil to rxjtlo U f Can you get up evi
dence to prove that pure Kerosene Oil
has ever caused a death by Explosion!
If you can I would like to know it.
I do not doubt that there has been
xime deaths occasioned by the break
ing and spilling of Ke.’owrs Ol
from burning limps, by which the
dressing of the [erson caught fire, and
being saturated with oil, of course
burned very fast and could not be ex
tinguished in lime. But would not
common machine oil, or lard oil, or
even tsdfod^krd or tallow, have done
the same thing. I thick if a lady,
dressing was saturated with lard oil
and .fire implied to it, there would be
! but’Irittie chance te save it unless you
Ihoue a Babcock Fire Extinguisher
ready for the occasion.
Messrs. Editors, I wish to mention
ra few facts in reference to “Kerosene
iEsplosian” which will show you how
tflhey happen. Not very long ago, a
lady was burned to death somewhere
above Athens (between this place and
Athens I think, I have forgotten h: r
name and residence.) It happened
that the lamp bursted in her hands,
and she was burned to death, and in
athort time afterward the Athens
paper b published that the 1. dy wrs
turned to death by a “Kerosene Ex
plosion.” Well, of course they had a
right to publish it as a Kerosene Ex
plosion, for they hail heard it from
some one, and had to give it as
they received it; but they could have
said with os much correctness, that it
■was an Explosion of Cuba Molasses,
that caused the lady’s death; for
there was not a drop of Kerosene Oil
in the lamp, so I was told by a mem
ber of the house in which the lady-
lived. He told me that the lamp was
Alied with Estrdla Oil which is known
Iby several other names, such as Rock
Oil, Sun Light Oil, Safet burning Fluid,
Bright Star Oil, &c., &c; and it is
one and the same oil. and can be bought
jn Baltimore at 10 to 121 eents per
gallon. I happened to be in Athens,
-at the time Mr*. Susan Peeler’s little boy
wras burned to death* while attempting
do .kindle & fire with a burning fluid,
which the Athens ip&pers stated was
Kerosine Oil, but a gentleman there by
the name of Brown, who bad a great
deal of experience in Kerosene Oil,
sent over to Mrs. Peeler’s immediately
after the accident, said got x sample of
the same oil aad tested it, and it would
not stand the fie test at all, but would
flash like powder over the first ap
plication (in ihs malural state, while
being heated.)
It seems, Messrs. Editors, that when
ever an aemdent happens with any
kind of laming fluid, tliat Kerosen t
has to hear the blame, whether it 1 e
Naptha. or Benzine, and the ingredi.
ents requireJ to make the Estrella, or
the Bode Oil, or any other poor, mean
stuff that is being sold in the market
—Kerosene is accused of doing all the
damage. Now I do not say that
Kerosene will not explode, for it may
be heated very hot and made to ex
plode, but I do say that I have never
known*—nor do I believe auy body

Editors North-East Georgian:
Dear Sirs: As your paper has a gen
eral circulation in this vicinity, I
thought it would not be improper for
me to give you a summary of crop pros
pect*, &c.
Planters are, as a general thing, in
high spirits, and say their crops are ex
ceedingly good, considering the lateness
of the spring, which, of course^ was a
great drawback. The people here are
the mo quiet sefyou ever saw. They
have several schools and many church
es, and still better, a number of Min
isters of tbo Gospel. These good men
are trying to teach our people the
great principles which actuated George
Washington, in better days, to confess
to his father that he had cut his choice
tree. They seem to meet with great
opposition, as the young men and la
dies are all in love, and care for little
els: until after marriage.
Miss Rosa Bell, daughter of James
Bell, was married a few days since to a
young man from Chicago. Long may
they live, and I only hope that all of
my be time one*.
I saw our old and much esteemed
friend, Banister Allen, a few days since.
He looks fine, and from all appearances,
will be with us many years yet.
I will write again to you.

A GOOD SUGGESTION’.
Let ns Restock the Oconee and Protect
its Inhabitants,
Elilors North-East Georgian:
With proper restrictions placed over
our Rivers, with the right kind of
Game Laws, our country could and
would derive a great benefit from the
inhabitants of the water and air. It is
time Georgia was offering some protec
tion to our fisheries especially. With
good attention, to prevent the whole
sale destructive of fish, our own Oconee
would soon be worth a great deal to this
section of Georgia. Let this injudicious
and indiscriminate seiningand trapping
be prevented.. Let the few liberal men
living in convenient distance of the
Oconee and its tributaries contribute
a small amount towards restocking it
with good fish, and in a few years we
can all have a public store house run
ning through Georgia where we can
easily draw fish enough to feed upon
when bacon is scarce, and it can be
gotten without price. For a few hundred
dollars we can have several millions of
fish placed in our river. We have
plenty of liberal-hearted men in this
section of Georgia who will unite with
Athens in this move. Heathen China
feeds thousands of its poor by caring
for its fisheries. Can not our present
wise Legislature take some steps-in
this direction, and place it in the pow
er of many of us to have fish for food
who are not able to buy them from the
sea coast? Lta.

“The arguments may all be iu favor
of great B2& pu facts are all the other
way. Large horses are more liable to
stumble and pe lame than those of the
middle size. They are clumsy, and can
not fill themselves so quick.
Thereisnothing more surprising t
Western men than to visit Montreal
and see thj: mall but stout Canadian
hauling a large tow-seated carriage,
full of people, with apparent ease.
A horse weighing 900 pounds in
Maine, takesaehaiseor Concord wagon,
with two men in it, and makes fifty or
sixty miles a day over hills that might
have terrified Hannibal. But their
weight is where it ought to be. It is
oompact, and not lying around lobse.
It is muscle, not polp, that we want In
a horse.”

Col. F.-Ev Harrison rnado report of
survey, as furnished him by corps of
Engineers, who recently surveyed the
route from Walhalla, S. C., to Peters
burg, Ga., as follows:
Owing to the short time that the
Engineers have had since the comple
tion of the survey, they have not had
time to make out their estimates, pro
file*, &c-, but which they will have
completed in a few days. I have,
however, received estimate* from them
hurriedly made, from which 1 have
compiled the figures that are given be
low. I accompanied the Engineers
over a good portion of the survey, and
will briefly relate my experience of the
same.
We found the route a very favora
ble one, being adapted by nature to all
the requirements of a Railroad. We
commenced our survey at Walhalla, S.
C., which is situatee on the Blue
Ridge Railroad, and which, sixteen
years ago, was a barren wilderness, but
is now a town of some 2,000 inhabi
tants ; the settlers are of German ex
traction, who have shown by their im-
povents, the great energy ami persever
ance of that race. They were very
hard to be induced to unite with us,
having been fraudulently dealt with
by the Air-Line Railroad Company,
but after proving to them the advant
ages to lie derived from this proposed
route, they were induced to unite with
us, which they did cordially and snb-
statially, by proposing to give us a
county subscription of §150,000, and
a town subscription in addition of
§50,000; provided, we make Walhalla
a terminus of the proposed Railroad.
From Walhalla we came down the
country, striking a beautiful ridge, all
the way to Andersonville, 8. C., show
ing a route that could be built witn
comparatively little work, from which
place we proceeded to Petersburg, Ga.,
under the most favorable auspices, all
the way, for the construction of a Rail
road.
We found the best feeling manifest
ed by all persons on both sides erf the
river, which was amply proved by the
liberality and cordiality shown us bv
every one, also, by men assuring us all
along the route that they would sub
scribe liberally and to the extent of
their abilities towards the same.
From estimates received from Engi
neers, the distance from Walhalla to
Andersonville is 28 miles; from An-
dersonville to Petersburg, 42 miles;
to Augusta, by former survey, 47
miles; from Walhalla to'Augusta, 117
miles.
This is a shorter line to Augusta
and Charleston than any other in the
country built or proposed. The dis
tance from Walhalla, at present, to
Charleston is 295 miles; by the pro
posed route, 230 miles—showing a
saving of 65 miles, and which is much
less yet, by way of Port Royal.
From estimates of Engineers, it is
also shown that §16,000 per mile will
build this Railroad, making the total
cost of 117 miles 81,8000,000, which is
comparatively cheap to other Rail
roads.
The following preamble and resolu
tions were proposed:
Whereas, The citizens of Oconee,
Anderson and Abbeville counties.
South Carolina, and of Hart and El
bert counties, Georgia, having organ
ized and had a survey made for a Rail
road from Walhalla, S. C. to Peters
burg, Ga., there to unite with a survey
made by the Augusta nud Hartweil
Railroad Company from Augusta to
that point, and the report of the Engi
neers having established the fact that
the shortest, cheapest and r-ost advan
tageous route for a Railroad from Au
gusta, Ga., to Clayton, Ga., is up the
the valley of the Savannah river
iU head, thence to Walhalla, S. C..
there uniting with the Blue Ridge Rail
road, now nearly graded to Clayton
Therefore,
Jtekleerl, That we, 'the delegates
from the several organizations in the
several counties above named, do now
form an association for the purpose of
soliciting subscription* of stock, for

C., with Augusta, Ga.
Resnlred, That this association ap
point delegatee to attend the nest meet
ing of the stockholders of the Augusta
and Hartwell Railre id, to l* held at
Lineolnton, Ga., on the 12th, to lay
before them the ropirt of this survey,
profiles, &c., and ask that they adopt
the line along the Savannah river to
Andersonville as tho route of the Au
gusta and Hartwell Railroad,
Resolved, That should this route
along tho valley of the Savannah
river be adopted by the Augista and
Hartwell Railroad Company, this
association pledge thermal vea to raise
their full proportion of stock by sub
scription* to plaoe this Railroad on a
firm basis* aad in sure its speedy com
pletion.
Resolved, That the stockholders of
the A. A H. Railroad be, and they are
hereby respectfully requested, if they
accept the above proposition, that they

Jilting Esther.
Nearly sixty years ago there 1 was a
queen ot hearts in London who broke as
many as she could, voluntarily or invol
untarily. She was a Miss Aclon, duugh
ter of a Nottinghamshire squire. Down
atExmomh, amid the loveliness and the
idleness of the grand place, the nyniplt
and a gallant otfic.-r named Tilson fell in
love with each other. The wairior, at
nil events, was deeply smitten, a*d mar
riage was to plunge him still dapper in
love: but almott at the church tMdf, The
cruel nymph declined to go farther. The
lover went straightway abroad. After a
while. Miss A- I n was subdued by an
other wooer, Mr. Maddox; the ’beauty
consented to l»e his wife. As the time
tor the nuptials drew near, the lady’s
grandfather died. She went into mourn
ing, and came out of it with the announ
cement of a quality to put her late into
it; namely, that she had changed her
mind. Like Tilson, Maddox sought so
lace in going to 9tirring scenes abroad.
Jackson wrote from his quarters at Dijon,
in 1814, that the swain so ill treated by
Venus “was trying his luck with Macs, t s
an amateur.... From being a very hand
some and lively tempered young man, he
has become quite reverse.” While two
lovers were desparing, n third resented
hiiusclt. He was no other than that
Lord Althrope who became so disguised
in the House of Commons as a statesman
and a minister. My lord was accepted.
Just as the marriage was about to take
place, this third lover’s grandmother
died; whereupon the nympli put on
mourning and went down to Hath to live
in retirement. Old Mrs. Jackson pro
phesied that Miss Aclon would on com-
out of mourning, jilt the heir to nn
earldom as she had done “poor Maddox.”
George replied that Tilson bad recently
returned to England a General, and “this
perhaps may win her smiles again.”
Lord Althrope proved to be the success
ful swain. Esther Aclon married him,
about a month after Airs. Jackson had
iressaged that she would play her lover
be took to be a large black snake, and
struck at it with bis scythe, when, to bis
astonishment, the snake struck at him
with its bill, which it lifted several feet
from the earth. Bowman, thereupon,
again struck at the snake, but the vicious
reptile, not at all intimidated, returned
the blow, and pressed Bowman so close
ly that It was With difficulty he got away.
Returning to the attack, Bowman, by
means of large rocks, succeeded in crip
pling the snake and fastening it to the
earth. With the assistance of Jordan F.
Longmirc it was now examined, and to
their astonishment was found to be over
six feet long, and to have a horn at the
end of its tail a little over an inch and a
quarter long, shaped like a rooster's spur.
But what was still more astonishing, it
hail two eyes in its tai 1 . which, excepting
the horn, was shnped exactly like the
head, but was not so large. Indeed, to
see the tail, one would have thought that
it was the head, a :d that the horn was
its tongue. The horn was very sharp.
The snake seemed very fierce at its tail-
end and endeavored to strike everything
that came near its tail. Various expert
ments were made to ascertain whether it
could sec '.vitb the eyes in its tail, and it
was demonstrated beyond a doubt that
it could. These eyes had lids, wliipl
opened and shut, and gleamed with an
ger. Indeed, the tail-head seemed far
more fierce than the other head,
though the snake tapered somewhat

A strange case of somnambulism is re

the name of Birch, received §3.900 too
late to deposit it in a bank, and so he
put it in a tin box, which he placed in a
bureau drawer. The key to the dawer
he placed in his bed-room. A daughter
of his had a morbid fear of burglars. She
retried, however, at the usual hour, first
placing a bandage about her neck to
cure a soreness in her throat. In the
morning the box was missing, though
the windows and doors were all secure,

It was found, too, that the bandage
about the girl’s neck hnd disappeared.
The father going through a grape arbor
shortly afterward, spied the bandage on
tbc ground, and stooping to pick it up (
his foot sunk into the soft ground that
had lately been placed in a hole, and
came on the box of money. In attcnipt-
ing.solve tho mystery it was fttund'that
the girl’s fingers were soiled with dirt,
marks on the pillow where ? fihc had
placed her hand. She, however, remem
bered nothing of the stangc occurrcnc
of the night, though it is certain that she
rose, procured the key of the drawer,
opened it, took out the box, unlocked the
door leading to the garden, passed out,
dug the bole with her hands, hid the
money, returned, put everything in prop
er place, and then rtired without waking
any oni'even herself.
