We regret to learn that our friend
Col W. 11. Gilbert, had a valuable mule very
seriously injured on Tuesday evening last. It,
with other mules, were playing when the mule
in question, sprang upon a bolt—in a portion
of a wagon—which entered his body between
the fore legs, going in, with the tap,some two
or two and a half inches. As it came out it
made a very bad wound. The Colonel took
immediate measures to give the mule relief,
but to the time we got this information, no
positive satisfaction can be had as to whether
the mule is mortally injured.

Francis Fontaine,
Mr. Wm. L. LeConte, of Adairs
ville,writes us word that he has at his disposal
a schollarship in the Agricultural Department
°f the State University. The applicant must
be not less than sixteen years old,of good moral
character, and have a good fair knowledge of
arithmetic, English Grammar and Geography.
After a student is qualified for the Junior
f lass, he is allowed to elect to pursue any or
all of the following courses, Agriculture, Coast
Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Miuing
Engineering, Building and Agriculture Ap
plied Chemistry. The expense would not
exceed $l5O per aunum for board and room.
Mr LeConte would be glad to receive appli
cants at his home. This is a good opportunity
lor some young man.
Wm. Vaughn, who narrowly es
caped being murdered a short time ago, by a
negro, met with a serious mishap on Tuesday
evening last. While attempting to unload a
lot of wood from a wagon, he nufortnnately
6track one of the mules with a stick of the
Tvood, which caused them to run away. Wil
lie was thrown down and the wagon passed
over his body. Up to the time of our bearing
of the accident (Wednessday morning) he had
not spoken. When he was picked up he was
sensible, and was able to show where the
wagon had passed over him, but could not
speak. We very much fear he is internally in
jured.
We would advise our young friend
Freeman, of the Calhonn Times, to be very
careful how he handles that fellow at Hins
dale, N. H., with his Star Spangled Danner.
lie pretends to be a rogue detector, or ex
poser of swindlers, quacks or humbugs. A
trial of this Banner man has convinced ns that
he is the gieatest rogue of them all. But, we
suppose the old adage in his case suits very
well, “Set a rogue to catch a rogue.” We will
admit that much good is done by his paper
in exposing humbugs; but he advertises
a good many things to sell, and if ever you
send your money to him for them,
he’s got you. That will be last of the money,
for he’l lie out of having received it, or he will
pretend to have sent the goods, and not do it

H. Padgett, Esq., is one of the
very best farmers in North Georgia, and will
soon become generally known as isuck. Ilis
sensible and judicious system cannot but eli
cit the admiration of every one who will take
notice of it. While all will admire and ap
prove Mr. Padgett’s plaus, very many will
be led to adopt them, for the reason that they
are uniformly successful.
It was our pleasure one day last week,to ex
amine the entire crop now growing upon Mr.
P.’s firm. We have seen many others also in
his immedidate neighborhood, and compared
them with his. The comparison is very- dam
aging to those neighbors. The drougth seems
not to have effected his cotton which is ab
solutely over ladden with fruit, and continues
green and growing, while contiguous fields
have ceased growing altogether, wilting under
the scorching sun. This difference is at
tributable to the difference in putting in the
crops, and the method of cultivation, which
Mr. P. took pains to describe to us, but which
we have not time or 6paee to give, and shows
positively that he is thoroughly acquainted
with a plan which is nearly if not quite right.
He has forty acres in cotton,and if no accident
occurs, to say that he will make twenty-live
bales of cotton, will, in our opinion, be un
der estimating his crop. His corn, potatoes,
turnips, peas, doura, goubbers, etc., all look
well and promise a yield commensurate with
the labor put upon them, and to compare
favorably with the cotton.
While a large number of his neighbors com
plain that this has been a bad crop year, MrJ
P. daclares he never saw a better, and that he
is satisfied nine years in ten are good crop
years, if the farmers will but labor judiciously.
Mr. Padgett resides upon one of the best lo
cated farms in the county, and is constantly
enriching the soil and making other improve
ments which,in'a few years,will make it one of
the most valuable in the State. Young farm
ers in the county,who require advice could not
go to a gentleman more competent or willing
to give it to them.

The colored churches of this bur g
are getting to be nuisances. We have been
told by several parties, resident near these
churches, that it is almost impossible to get a
night’s rest. The convocations of negroes
begin at about nine o’clock at night, and lasts
until two, three, and sometimes half past t hree
every morning, and on some days they are at
it again as early as day-light.
The voice of one of the preachers is repre
eented as perfectly stentorian, and when he
excites his hearers to shouting, there is no
such thing as resting any where within two or
three hundred yards ot the church. We do
not object to meetings among this class of
people nightly, if they desire it, but we do not
think church meetings among whites or
blacks, should be so boisterous as to become
common nuisances. We think the city au
thorities should pay some attention to this
matter.
Mr. Francis Fontaine has ad
vertised land for sale in this number of the

We regret to learn that a brother
of our fellow citizen J. D. Head Esq., got a
chicken hone lodged iu his throat on Tuesday
morning. For some time his life was dispair
ed of,but at present the danger of death is not
■so imminent. It is thought that the bone will
fester out —it is deemed imprudent to attempt
to draw it out. Mr. Head has to keep most of
the time under the influence of opiates. We
hope he will soon get rid of the obstacle.
Passing up the street last Friday
afternoon, we saw the smiling face of Essex
Choice, as he stood in the door of the saloon
of Messrs Anderson Bros. Essex informs us
that his old love is Cartersville, that he could
not stay away, and has returned to pursue bis
old avocation. His numerous friends will
find him at the above saloon, occupying the
6ame position that Eli Clayton held, and he
will be glad to have a renewal of their patron
age.
Infanticide.—We learned the par
ticulars of the late case of infanticide in this
place, from the gentleman on whose place it
occured. The girl the mother —was ap
proaching her confinement, and it was the
intention of the family to send her to her par
ents at the proper time,but some ten or twelve
days ago she got up in the night, complaining
of being a little 6iek, and went out of doors.
She did not return to her usual sleeping room
(in the main building) but lay upon a bed in
an out house until morning. Early in the
morning the gentleman of thehouse went to the
front door and opened it. He saw blood upon
the steps, and upon looking farther he saw
more blood near the garden gate; more blood
inside the garden, and quite a pool down in
the garden,which bore evidence of an attempt
to conceal it. When the girl was interviewed
about matters she expressed a desire to go
home,but the gentleman and lady of the house
disapproved of it on the ground that she was
tooneai her confinement. The girl said she was
able to go home. Her father was sent for,and
seconded the girl’s request to go home She
went. Several days afterward the placenta was
found where she hid it, aud within a day or
two after she left,the water of the well became
so offensive no one could not use it. When the
girbAvas charged .with having had her child,she
did not deny it, aud said she had buried it in
the garden. The owner of the premises
searched the entire place but could not find it.
One day his wife remarked that she could
no longer use the water from the well; that
it had become so offensive she could not even
use it for washing. It now began to smell over
the whole premises. Having seen cats lying on
the top of the well.it was supposed one of them
had fallen into it, and the gentleman got a ne
gro man to clean it out. As usual, a very
large bucket was used to empty the well. The
third time it was drawn up it revealed the
cause of the trouble—the corpse of a negro
infant. The girl was arrested and the Coro
nor sent for. We have uot learnt the result
of the investigation, but will do so'before
we go to press.
The girl, we learn was bound over to stand
trial at the next term of the Superior Court.
We learn also, that she admitted the child
was born alive, but she still sticks to it that
she buried it in the garden.
It must have been a remarkable child, to
have gotten out of its grave, gone to the well
and fallen in, at so early an age.
We regret to announce the death
of neighbor Wm. Goldsmith’s little pet “Ka
tie.” She died of fits. Katie was one of the
prettiest little terriers we ever saw.

Editors Standard & Express :
I hope you and your many frieuds will not be
greatly damaged by your old reporter failing
to say a word for so long. If every one under
stood the situation I would be pardoned, for I
have been mighty badly scared. I moved to
Kingston about the time Bill Arp and
Joshua commenced sharp shooting. Next
came the unfortunate killing of Miller Col
lins, and the mule scrape, in which the thief
was caught and afterwards shot and killed.
All these diflcultics occuring in less thau two
months, caused me to be very quiet, but my
old friend, Bill Arp, called to see me and gave
me leave to say what I pleased about him,
and as he proposes to back me, I will proceed
by saying this is quite a pleasant little burg,
and her people are clever and social, and 1
think I will soon feel qnite at home among
them : if they prove to be as clever as my
old friends aud neighbors at Adairsvillc, I
will feel perfectly satisfied.
We have an excellent school here. Prof. Lynn
Principal, and three good Churches, Baptist,
Methodist and Episcopal. The colored peo
ple have two Churches, aud speaking of our
colored friends, they certainly must all, or at
least a great many of them, be in easy circum
stances, as they do not seem to work, and I
have counted as many as fifteen able bodied
men playing marbles on the streets for hours,
seemingly perfectly happy and contented, as
though they were worth thousands. I fear
they will suffer for something to cat or wear
this winter. It may be they propose to bor
row for a living from those that have pleuty,
so I would advise the old Shanghai’s to crow
easy, as they might find themselves sliding off
the roost some night.

Mr. Editor: After lcvein Guv. Smith’d I

begun pattin it on the bed with her kid gluv

teres rolled down her face
“Like big drops uv summer rain
Adown the smuth window paine.’*
I felt as tho I had stole something and de

ISAAC MERRITT SINGER.
This eminent mechanician died at his resi
dence at Old Paignton, near Torquay, England
on the 23d day ot July, 1875, in the sixtytourth
year of his age.
It rarely happens that a great mechanical
inventor permanently identities his name with
the useful inventions he gives to the world.
The men of talent too often seize upon and
carry off the fame which properly belongs to
the men of genius. Still more rarely does it
occur that the meritorious inventor secures the
pecuniary rewards which justly pertain to the'
highest efforts of the mind.
The subject of this notice was so fortunate as
to achieve, in both respects, a grand success.
His name and reputation will be perpetuated
by a great manufacturing corporation, whose
beneficial operations extend over the whole
civilized world, and he died in posession and
enjownentofu colossal fortune. Ilis father
was a German, a niill-wright by trade; his
mother a native of Rensselaer Count}', New
York, where the future inventor was boru.
At au early day the family removed to Oswe
go, hut the father met with little success in
his business, and the son, when about twelve
years of age, with very imperfect school edu
cation and no money, departed from a heme
to which he never returned.
From that time forth, he fought the battle
of life alone. He soon turned his attetion to
mechanical work, and maintained himself as a
machinist, but he never served any regular
apprenticeship, and never pretended to he an
accomplished artisan, ills mind naturally
employed itselt about novel means of reaching
important results, and for many years, while
engaged in inventions, it was his practice to
employ the simplest materials, such as a steel
wire bent to some peculiar shape, or a piece of
sheet iron cut to some strange form, or a pine
stick curiously whittled widt a pocket knife, to
elucidate the principles of some of the most
useful and curious mechanical devices. The
inventions being thus made, and the method of
operation distinctly shown, any skilled artisan
readily put them-into permanent form. At
one time Mr. Singer was engaged in the em
ployment of the Messrs. Hoe, in the city of
New York, as a machinist, and then devoted
his leisure hours to study for the stage. Fie
enjoyed the acquaintance, and, to a limited ex
tent, the instruction of Placide, Povey, Clarke
and others, who then adorned the stasre of the
old Park theatre.
During several years he was a theatrical
manager, and gave frequent representations
ot plays in the interior cities ot Ohio, Penn
sylvania and New York. In a certain line of
characters, he is said to have acted with much
success. To the close of liis life he had an
ardent love lor theatricals and music, and in
the splendid mansion, which he had built
within the last lew years, a 'theatre, complete
in all its appointments, was included.
t\ bile lie was still a young man lie invented
a steam drilling machine, which was used
with much advantage in the construction of
various rail ways and canals. Subsequent}' he
invented a machine for carving wood, metals,
or marble. While endeavoring to introduce
this imvention to public notice and use, his
attention was casually directed to the sewing
machine. At that time (A. 1). 1850) though
several patents on sewing divices had been
granted in this and other countries, no prac
tical machine capable of profitable employ
ment to do ordinary work had ever been pro
duced.
Up to that time sewing machines had been
experimental merely and had failed to be use
ful. In eleven days the first Singer sewing
machine was invented and built complete. It
contained much that was new and useful, sub
sequent improvements, for which numerous
patents were obtained, added greatly to the
value of this machine; but it was successful
and profitable from the begiuning to all con
cerned in it and, against all competition, has
steadily and continuously increased in public
favor, thus establising the reputation of the
inventor and securing him a vast fortune. In
1860, Mr. Singer retired from the active man
agement of business, and since that time has
resided mainly abroad. After several years’
residence in Paris, lie went, with his family, to
England, and finally purchased au estate and
settled down atOld Paignton, near Torquay,
in Devonshire. The last years of liis life were
devoted to the improvement of that property,
where ho dispensed a liberal hospitality, and
to the poor of that neighborhood his death will
be a severe bereavement.
