Letter fYom Bowdon We have received the following let ter from Judge Shelnwtt of Bowdon, with a request to*pubTisL, which we do so with pleasure. The letter explains itself: fimroto Times: —Lest there may some misunderstanding grow out of the statement, in an article in your last isfttre, in regard to the stockholders of Bowdon grading t>ie Railroad from Carrollton to Bowdon, enclosed I send you an exact copy of the order, pass ed by the President and Directors* Thursday the 7th inst. Arrangements are being made, hr;d will be completed in a few davs, to raise, and pav over the money accord ing to the proposition, contained in the order. As to procuring contrac tors there will be no difficulty about that. W e learn thaft several of the contractors now engaged between Newnan and Carrollton, will soon be done their sections, and will not want to stop at so small a job, but will l e ready to move over west of Carroll ton, and take more work. Whether they do or not, however, there will be plerfty ors men, who wifi be willing to take contracts as it will be seen by the order that the pay will be the same, it is east of Carrollton, with only this difference : -East of Carroll, ton, the contractors receive for their pay, one third in money, one thi-d in bonds, and the other third in stock in the Road, while west they receive one third in money and, the other two thirds in stock or bonds. The stock is worth about as much as the bond*, and capitalists who wish to provide for themselves and children, a lasting and a good paying legacy, prefer the Stock, to the bonds. It will also be seen by reference to the report of Captain Gardner, chief engineer, that the grading east of Carrollton, will probably average sll. 288*53 tr> the mile, while the grading from Carrollton to Bowdon, will only average a cost ot $6,549,65 tie mile, but little over one half the aver age cost, east of Carrollton. Multiply the Imiles by the average cost, and we find the grading from Carrollton to Bowdon, will only cost $74,813,50. It does look like that with the ad vantages, that the company would re ceive by this extension, at so ’ittle cost, that it ought to be done by n xt fall, ready to take off the next crop o+ cotton, or at farthest to bi-ing in next years supplies of fertilizers. For som 1 of the farmers have come to the c >n_ elusion, that they can not make a crop without them. But here is the order referre 1 to, an exact copy of which is given: Newnan, Ga., March 7th 18’?. Resolved, That, the President and Directors of the Savannah, Griffin <fe North Alabama Railroad Company, hereby obligate and bind themselves to locate the Road from Carrollto » to Bowdon, and let out contracts frw t’ e construction of said section of the Road, by the first of June next, or so soon as the subscribers for stock at Bowdon and vicinity, pay into the treasury of the company, the sum of twenty thousand dollars, and secure persons to contract for the grading, at the same prees now being paid bv the company, and who will receive in payment for their work, one thud in cash and the remaining two thirds in the stock of the company.

Mr. Editor: —ln a letter from a friend in Randolph county Alabama, he telfo-ns one of the most "wonderful incidents of a chicken we ever hoard. Mr. George Forester, an ex-mem her of the Legislature from that coun ty, says : On the 6th inst., I cut off a chickens head with a hatchet, in tending to eat the chicken, but as it lived uncommonly long, I set it upon its feet threetimes; the first andsecond times it soon fell, but the third time it stood up I then placed it in a basket, where it remained all night. The | next mornrng wheriT awoko, the chick en, whose head had been eaten by my dog, was rr.aeing the same as th nigh its head was on its neck, and this is now the 13th, and it is still alive, and has continued to crow, and is apparent ly like any other live chicken, with the exception of being minus a head. What do you say now Barron? all of your roosters can t beat this tor *** rasterism. ” iL 11. R. The Danbury (Conn.) News says.- “A young lady in a neighboring town has taken up dentistry for a living. All the gentlemen patronize her. When she puts her arm around the neck of the patient and caresses his jaw for the offending member, the sen sation is about as nice as they make ’em. One young man has become hopelessly infatuated with her. Con sequently he hasen’t a tooth in his head. She has pulled every blessed one of them; and made him two new sets and pulled them.

I believe there is nothing of ranch interest in this section, save a mightv working of the public roads, winch is taking tip the whole time of this week. It is a little amusing to hear tlie diflerewt remarks made by the hands in regard to the manner in which the rwad's are to be worked.— And, the way they are working.— A bile some are grieving about being absent from their farms, others- are heartily sanctioning the m<?rto, or plan, Mr. Overseer is Carry wag out, wmle some other mother wilted fel low will cry oat, hurrah boys ! we will be ready for laving the track by fall* if Judge Jufoan will furnish us powder to blow up the Tocks, and cliesuut stumps !

Farmers are considerably behind with their affairs I believe the fer tilizer will be used again this year in our section. Farmers ate generally encouraged and satisfied as to the ef fect produced by fertiHzihg. Mr. Wesley Smith of our neighborhood realized a considerable profit, last year by fertilizing. He planted thirteen acres hr cotton, used one ton of guano, realized, after paying expenses for guano, fifty dollars per acre. Now talk about Carroll not being a farming country!

"Girls. ’Death of a Wkll Known Young Citizen.— The sad intelligence yester day reached this city of the death of Ernie C. Reese, so well known here as a wonderful young pianist and organ ist. But a few weeks since he was in our midst, gladdening the hearts of a large Circle of friends by 4:4s musical genius and rare social and congenial nature—but he withered and died as a sensitive flower, the victim of an un usually rapid case of consumption, the first decided symptom of which exhib ited itself only some three months since. Our highly esteemed young friend passed away in the midst of his family, at Carrollton, Ga., on Thursday last, in the nineteenth year of his age. That afflicted family have the assur ance that all who knew ‘“Ernie” sin cerely sympathise and mourn with them in their heavy bereavement.—JVkw/V villi *Uvxor>. d' American. The Schoolmaster Abroad.

When the glow worm lights her lamp the air is always damp. If the cock goes crowing to bed, he certainly rises with a watery head. When you see a gossamer dying be sure the air is drying.

Two Yankees strolling in the woods, without any arms in their possession, observed a bear climbing a tree, with its paws clasped around the trunk. One of them rtn forward and oMght the bear 8 paws, one in each hand. He then called out to his comrade: “ Jonathan run home and bring something to kill the varmint. Mir.d you don’t stay or I’m in a fix.” Jonathan ran off but stayed a long time. During the interval the bear made several attempts to bite the himdiof him wbo held him. At length •Jonattian came back. , “ Hallo, what kept you so long?" “ Well, I’ll tell you. When I got home breakfast was ready, so I stop ped to eat it." “ Well,’' said his comrade, “ come yon now, and hold the critter while I kill it.” Jonathan seixed the bear’s paw and held the animal. “ Well, have got hold of him ?” “ 1 guess I have." “ Very well, then hold fast; I am off for dinner!’! Suxshine and Sleep. —Sleepless people, and there areany in Ameri ca, should court the sun. The very worst soporific i« laudanum, and the very best sunshine. Therefore, it is very plain that poor sleepers should pass as many hours as possible in sun shine, and as few as possible in the shade. Many women are and yet they do not know it. They shut the sunshine out of their houses and their hearts, they wear veils, they carry pUi asols, they do all they possi ble can to keep off the subtletsand yet most potent influence which is inten ded to give them strength, beauty and cheerfulness. I3 it not time to change all this, and so get color and roses in our pale cheeks, strength in our week backs, and courage in our timid souls? The women of America are pale and delicate : they may be blooming and strong, and the sunlight will be a po tent aid in this transformation. WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. BUSHELS. lbs.
