The Barnesville Gazette says Miss Jane Lash
ley died last Wednesday very suddenly. “At
noon she seemed to he perfectly well, and par
took of a hearty dinner. We are informed that
sli< was dead in an hour’s time after eating din
ner. She was taken soon after eating with a
spasm, and on its repetition she died. Since
writing the above we have learned that suspi
( cions are entertained, which have induced a
post mortem examination.”
Thk llawkinsville Dispatch says there is a
bad state of affairs existing in a certain latitude
in Gum Swamp. A few nights ago some per
son lying in ambush shot Mr. Ben Moore; who,
though wounded, escaped with his life. In the
early part of last year, near the same place, an
innocent and worthy colored man white travel
ling the road was killed by some person con
cealed in the woods. It is believed by several
that the person who - did this killing was
mistaken in the man, the object being to kill
Moore. Some few years ago Moore killed a
man by the name of Berry Williams. Since
that time Moore has had a difficulty with a man
by the name of Warren, and was cut by him.
Moore ays lie knows who shot him the other
night, but refuses to give any name. In view
of this demoralized state of affairs it maybe
well to travel that road as little as possible.
W k clip the following from the Columbus
Enquirer ;
About Money.—Our banks can’t lend it on
anything like decent collateral for more than
one per cent per month. We have been told
that our money institutions have refused the
loan of large amounts of money at seven per
i cut per annum for the very simple reason that
they could not dispose safely of the funds they
had in their own vaults.
Hay.—Nearly all the hay offered for sale this
winter has been gathered from the grass fields
and swamps in this section. Large amounts of
money have been retained here by this course.
Wagoned a Long Distance—A farmer in
Tallapoosa county, Ala., brought to Columbus
yc.-icrduv two wagon loads of cotton which he
hauled 63 miles. They were sent back loaded
with hides and provisions bought of our mer
chants. This recalled the “good old times,”
before the era of railroads.
The Fort Valley Mirror has the following
account of a novel law case: McArthur is a
dentist. McGhee is a farmer. They reside in
Taylor county. Mr. McArthur put in a set of
teeth for the farmer, who paid him with a bug
gy worth some twenty-five or thirty dollars
more than the bill, the balance to be paid in
cash. The tooth carpenter failed to pay the
balance due, and returned the good buggy and
took another one which he accepted as full pay
ment for the debt. McArthur used the bug
gy several months before be returned it. Leav
ing Butler, he went to Upson county, and was
followed by McGhee, who had him tried be
fore a country Magistrate for the rent of the
buggv, charging him twenty-five cents a day
fir the use of the same. The dentist plead a
“set off,” by charging the old farmer the same
amount a day for the use of the teeth. The
Magistrate rendered his decision in favor of the
I defendant, and threw the plaintiff in all the
1 costs of prosecution.

Thk Americas Republican gives an account
1 of a serious misfortune that befell Mr. John
Daniel, of Marion county, on Monday last,
about three o'clock. It appears that Mrs. Dan
iel had made up a fire, before doing so she had
laid her little child, about fifteen months old,
in one corner of the house, and proceeded to
sweep up the hearth. Having gone through
with this, she threw the broom into another
corner where there was some old papers, and
immediately left the house to join her husband
in the field. Before reaching the field she heard
her child screaming, mid hastened back to the
house, when she found it burning rapidly in
side. The little child had made its way to the
door, and the mother finding it on fire took it
xip and tricil to smother the flames with her
clothes, but finding she could not she threw the
child into a bucket of water. The clothes were
burned off the body and the flesh burned to a
crisp. The little sufferer was alive Wednesday
morning, but was not expected to li\ e during
the day. It was the only child and the pet of
the family. The fire spread so rapidly that
only one' bed and a small quantity of
meat were saved. Everything else was de
stroyed, even the wearing apparel of the family.
The dwelling house, smoke-house and kitchen
were all destroyed. No insurance. Mr. Dan
iel is • food citizen, And h&fr syrnpHth) oi

A Perilous Adventure.
One of the Most Remarkable Escapes from
Death on Record.
A ship some time ago arrived at Bristol after
a successful Pacific whaling voyage. Time was
when thousands of vessels tracked the great sea
monsters in search of oil, but the discoveries of
the mineral article have made the trade no
longer remunerative, or, at least, much less an
object of pursuit. The ship referred to was
the West Wind, commanded by C'apt. Parker,
who met with a most perilous adventure during
his cruise, and which came very near costing
him his life. Under the most favorable cir
cumstances the occupation of the whaler is one
of great danger and physical trial, and very few
ships ever return to port without losing one or
more hands by the ordinary exigencies of the
service.
It seems that C’apt. Parker was out from his
ship witli a boat’s crew, chasing a whale, and
having fastened his harpoon to the creature, it
dived, as usual, and the line, coiled in the bows
of the boat, began to run out with lightning
speed as the monster sunk to the extreme depth
of the ocean. At thiseritical juncture, Captain
Parker went to the forward part of the boat, to
be sure that there was no twist in the rope to
prevent its working clear. The line was run
ning out with such rapidity as to cause smoke
to arise from the woodwork of the boat, and
the captain threw water, as Is the custom,on the
spot. By some unlucky lurch of the boat he
was canted from his position, and he naturally
threw out his left hand to prevent himself from
falling; but, in doing so, he unfortunately
placed it so that the rope coiled about his wrist,
and he was overboard and out of sight in an
instant.
He was perfectly conscious while he was
rushing down, head foremost, and with an in
credible swiftness, and it appeared to him that
his arm would be tom from its socket, so great
was the resistance of the water. During these
awful moments lie was well aware of his peril
ous situation, and that his only chance for life
was to cut the line. But liow could he do this ?
lie could not move his right arm from his side,
to which it was pressed by the force of the ele
ment through which he was being drawn. The
pressure on iiis brain grew more and more ter
rible, and a roaring as of thunder sounded in
his ears. He opened his eyes for an instant,
and it seemed as though a stream of fire was
passing before them. And now came that in
evitable activity of the brain which character
izes till such perilous situations where one’s
whole life seems to pass in review in an instant
of time. But the Captain was a very practical
man, cool and courageous at all times, and con
sequently still self-possessed.
He began to struggle with all his muscular
power to reach the knife which he wore in his
belt. He felt that he was growing weaker every
instant, and it was now or never with him,
though we should say, parenthetically, that
what requires so long to describe occurred in
time which was reckoned by seconds rather
than minutes Oh, if he could but command
his right hand for one stroke upon that fatal
line! Now his heart began to fail him. He did
not absolutely despair, but his brain reeled, liis
nerves seemed to relax their tension, light and
darkness appeared to alternate before his eye
balls, and his head felt as though compressed in
an iron vice. Were these his last moments? He
thought, in spite of the agonizing pain he en
dured, he would make one more brave effort.
The line providentially slackened for a sec
ond ; he reached his knife, and, as quick as
thought itself, as the rope became taut again,
the keen edge of the blade was upon it, and by
a desperate effort of ht? m it bocanie severed.
He was freed, and then commenced bis upsvavd
passage, caused by the natural buoyancy of the
human body. After this, he only remembered
a feeling of suffocation, a gurgling spasm, and
all was over till lie awoke to an agonizing pain
of reviving consciousness, in the arms of his
boat’s crew. Truly, one of the most remarka
ble escapes from death on .record.
A Funny loun; .’Wan.
There resides in this city one of the most re
markable somnopathists we have ever heard of.
He is a clerk in a River street store and is a
young man of excellent parts and abilities.
Since childhood he has performed some strange
feats while in his peculiar sleep.
On several occasions during the present win
ter he has arisen in liis sleep and taken down
the stoves in bis parlor and kitchen. While his
wife lias watched him he lias carefully removed
the stoves, both of them are of good weight, to
a store-room. Having finished this work he
returns to bed, and in the morning has not the
slightest recollection of his feat. On very rare
occasions after lie lias taken down the stoves
and returned to bed he will get up again and
put the stoves back in their places. Men who
have to put up and take down stoves periodi
cally may envy our somnambulist’s absence of
conscience while performing these ordinarily
disagreeable feats. It is a common occurrence
for him to get out of bed and throw the coal
scuttle out of the window. Several times he
has arisen and,seating himself beside the cradle,
from which his wife has been prudent enough
to remove the baby, has rocked it with force
sufficient to give the best stomached infant in
the world an acute colic. One night he clam
bered to the roof of his dwelling and hurled the
scuttle over to the sidewalk. It narrowiy missed
a policeman’s head. Nor is it uncommon for
our hero to get up at midnight, dress himself,
and go up to the store to attend to business.
One "of his freaks is to kindle afire in the kitch
en stove, set the table, prepare a meal and eat
it. He sets the table with the neatness of a
thorough house-wife, but when he gets the
wrong plate, or picks up the sugar by mistake
for the salt he dashes it to the floor.
Sunday morning at two o’clock our friend
got up, dressed himself, took from the cradie the
pillow which liis wife places therein when she
removes the baby, carried it tenderly to the
front stoop, laid it down, got the baby carriage,
picked up the pillow, placed it tenderly in the
carriage, and gave it half an hour's ride. At
this time the thermometer indicated ten degrees
below zero.
The somnambulist was seep by the police
man on the beat, who, being acquainted with
liis freaks, did not disturb him, but kept his eye
upon him. Tuesday night the somnambulist
arose in bed and clutching his wife’s throat,and
placing his knee upon her breast, shouted, “ I’ll
cat your heart out” This was anew experi
ence for the lady, and came near being a seri
ous one. At the outset, so tight was the grip
on her throat she was unable te scream out for
help.
At length, by the use of all her strength she
managed to loosen the grip so that she could
scream for help. In a few minutes a crowd
was gathered around the house. The screams
continued, and the people supposed that a mur
der was being committed, forced tlieir way into
the couple’s apartments. Among them was
the young man’s employer, who touched the
somnambulist with the point of a pin. This
awakened him, and after explanation the out
siders retired, and the couple again went back
to their slumbers, which wi re not again inter
rupted. The young man is terribly chagrined
at the act, and is so sensitive about the matter
that we refrain from giving his name. He is
well known among our younger people and is
highly respected. He believes that his som
nambulism is caused by the accumulation of
blood in the neighborhood of the nerves in the
legs aad arms, and says that whenever he is in
that state a pinch or the pricking of a pin,which
starts the blood in its proper channels, will
awaken him. — TW>y Pre**

May glory environ thee, Pride of the Earth !
The goddess of science rejoice at thy birth;
Thy keen eye surveyed the bright orbs that
sweep
In their trackless career, the etherial deep.
The winged winds have wafted thy praises

And thy virtue has reaped an enduring reward.
Oh bountiful Planet! spread o’er him thy rays,
And ye stars, that burn brightly, sublime mys

Whose motions lie measured with exquisite
skill,
As onward ye roll, God’s behests to fulfill;
Like some gem-spangled chaplet encircle bis

1 And o’er it the light of your lovliness shed!
May all nations in our loud chorus proclaim
Capernicus’* brilliant and undying fame!
Embalmed in our hearts may liis memory sur

While Science, and Virtue, and Justice shall

All glory to thee, honored son of the earth !
And glory to Poland, the land of thy birth.

Arab Horne maxims.
Whoso raiseth and trainetli a horse for the
Lord is counted in the number of those who
give alms day and night, in private as well as
public. He will find his reward. All his sins
will be forgiven him, and never will any fear
come over him and dishonor his heart.
Let your colt be domesticated and live with
you from his tenderest age, and when a horse
lie will be simple, docile, faithful and inured to
hardship and fatigue.
If you have your horse to serve you on the
day of trial, if you desire him then to be a horse
of truth, make him sober, accustomed to hard
work and inaccessible to fear.
Do not beat your horses, or speak to them in
a loud tone of voice; do not be angry with them
but kindly reprove tlieir faults; they w ill do
better thereafter, for they understand the lan
guage of man and beast.
If you have a long day’s journey before you,
spare your horse at the start; let him frequently
walk to recover his wind. Continue this until
lie has sweated and dried three times, and you
may ask him whatever you please and he w ill
not leave you in difficulty.
Use your horse as you do your leathern bot
tle ; if you open it gently and gradually you
can easily control the water within, but if you
open it suddenly the w'ater escapes at once,and
nothing remains to quench your thirst.
Never let your horse run up or down hill, if
you can avoid it. On the contrary, slacken
your pace. “ Which do you prefer,” was asked
of a horse, “ ascent or descent ?” “ A curse be
on their point of meeting,” was the answer.
Make your horse work and work again. In
action and fat are the great perils of a horse,
and the main case of all liis vices and disease.
Observe your horse when lie is drinking at a
brook. If in bringing down his head he re
main square, withing bending his limbs, he
possesses sterling qualities, and ail parts of his
body IS tram symmetrically.
Four tilings he must hat e broad—front chest,
loins and limbs; four things long—neck,breast,
fore-arm and croup; and four things short—
pastern, back, ears and tail.
A Town Farm. —Our attention was called a
day or two since to an old gentleman in this
city, who owns a house and two acres of land,
on which it is situated, who comes as near “liv
ing at home and boarding at the same place,”
as the next one. He has not bought over twelve
pounds of bacon in fifteen years, raising three
or four hogs on his own lot each year, that fur
nishes him bountifully. He keep three or four
cows, and sells milk and butter enough, with
vegetables from his garden and what he saves
off of his lot, to w inter them. His garden is also
a source of revenue, for during the winter and
spring he always lias something in it, such as
turnip salad, “collards,” and from it potatoes,
which brings in a little money almost daily.
The remainder of his lot is planted in coni, that
yields finely, which breads him, and also fat
tens his hogs, with the aid of the “slops” from
his kitchen. From this patch he gets a snug
little amount of peas, shucks and fodder, which
•lie stores away for his cattle, and each year has
a beef or two for sale. He makes his own lard
after killing bis hogs, and about the only tilings
of any consequence in the eating line he has to
buy, are flour, sugar and coffee.
His family consists of three persons, one of
whom has been an invalid for many years. Of
course lie lives economically, and when not en
gaged working on his lot (and we should have
stated he gets his manure front his cow lot,) he
is engaged at his calling, from which he makes
a sufficiency to pay his other expenses. He is
quite an old man, noted for liis honesty and in
tegrity, and we doubt if there are a half dozen
people who know of what we have written. —
Griffin Neirs.
Death from Smoking.— The following sad
warning is from the pen of a New York cor
respondent of the Buffalo Commercial Adver
tiser :
“The use of tobacco is bad enough when be
gun in mature life, but it is infinitely worse
when the habits are laid in early years, as seems
to have been the case here. A case of my own
intimate acquaintance has this very week ap
palled a large circle of friends in this city. The
victim was exactly my own age, and a compan
ion from early childhood. For thirty years, at
least, he has been a continual smoker of the
choicest segars, but in all his other habits tem
perate and regular, and of excellent constitution
—one who, of all men, would have laughed at
the suggestion that tobacco was killing him.
On the Saturday previous he was stricken with
a progressive paralysis, characteristic of nico
tine, and on Saturday night he died. His death
was most pitiful. First, sight was lost, then
speech, then motion of the neck, then motion
of the arms, and so on throughout the body,
and he lav for a fortnight unable to move or
make a sign, save a pitiful, tongueless, inarticu
late sound, which sometimes rose to almost
frantic efforts, all in vain, to make known what
he wished to say to his family or friends—for
liis consciousness and mental faculties were left
unimpaired till within two hours of the last, to
aggravate to the utmost the horrors of this sit
uation—a living soul in a dead body. The sense
of hearing was left unimpaired so that he was
conscious of all around him, while as incapable
of communicating with them as if dead, save
by slight sign of assent or dissent to a question.
The doctors were fully agreed that tobacco was
the cause of the stroke.’’”
Three Eminent Physicians. —As the cele
brated French physician. Desmoulins, lay on
liis death bed, he was visited and almost con
stantly surrounded by the most distinguished
medical men of Paris, as well as other promi
nent citizens of the metropolis. Great were
the lamentations of all at the loss about to be
sustained by the profession, in the death of one
they regarded as its great ornament; but Des
moulins spoke cheerfully to his practitioners, as
suring them that he had left behind three phys
icians ranch greater than himself. Each of the
doctors hoping that his own name would be
called, inquired anxiously who was sufficiently
illustrious to surpass the immortal Desmoulins.
With great distinctness the dying man answered,
“Thev are water, exercise, and diet Call in
the service of the first freely, of the second
regularly, and the third moderately. Follow this
advice, and you may well dispense with my aid.
Living, I could do nothing without them; and
dying, I shall not be missed, if you make
friends of these, my faitftft coadjutors.”
