THE JEAQ-X.E. -1 J. K. HEOWIie M. VAX fi§T£8 t £ftiu>r and Proprietors* Frida; Morning, June 11, 1875. i The Jefferson Forest News will be be out on Saturday. Hon. A. H. Stephens will address the citizens of Atlanta on the 4th day of July. Ex-President Davis has written a letter, in which he handles William Tecutnsrli Sherman with gloves off. The Lagrange Reporter insists that that city has the prettiest women in the State. That might be so, if Gaines ville was not in the State. A Boston paper complains of the number of applications for discharge among the militia, in view of the ardu ous duties of tho coming Bunker Hill Centennial. The Atlanta Constitution calls the Herald the Daily Plagiarist. The Her ald calls the Constitution the Daily Potato Bug. Nice sport for metropol itan journals to indulge in. The Atlanta Herald has rented rooms on tho same side and next door to the Constitution, on Broad street, in Atlanta. Much more pleasant quarters than formerly. Gen. Sherman is about as heavily under lire now as lie ever was in his life. If he ever had any ambition for the Presidency, he has probably aban doned it by this time. All the States havo elected their members of the Forty-fourth Congress, except California and Mississippi. California elects four Congressmen in September, Mississippi six in Novem ber. Jefferson Davis, during his recent visit, to Houston, Texas, was presented with a largo silver medal by the survi vors of tho “Davis Guards” of that place, an organization which served through the civil war. The State of Georgia now has two railroads—tho Western A Atlantic and tho Macon & Brunswick. The last named road was purchased last luesday, at aud for tho sum of one million dollars. Yes, William G. Browlow is a hog, and all that, but the vigorous tight that is being made on tho old man by a number of our exchanges rem inds us of a difficulty between tho gnat and the ox—tho gnat occupying a safe po sition on the horn of his bovine majes ty -as described by ACsop. Some noble American Republican who invested a small fortune up one ot the cast-im drosses the Empress Eugenic, has got himself into trouble, lie endeavored to smuggle tho relic of royalty through tho Cus tom House and was caught. This is altogether too bad. Wliilo there is a wide diversity of opinion among tho newspapers con cerning tho precise meaning of the President’s third-term letter, there seems to ho a very general belief that it will completely romove him from the field as a candidate for a re-nomina tion. Norcross is not happy. A Baptist minister named J. M. B. Fackler has recently been preaching there, and he now reports that ho was shot at while preaching, aud that someone rushed at him, knife in hand, while he was engaged in baptising somebody. The Norcross people eomo out in a card, charging the reverend gentleman with falsehood. The experience of Now York busi ness men goes to indicate that iron shutters increase the danger of loss from fire i rather than decrease it. This is attributed partly to the fact that lire in houses so furnished is seldom or never discovered so soon as in others, and partly to tlie*great diffi culty that firemen experience in forc ing iron shutters open. One of the grand items of Centen nial expense which will fall entirely upon Philadelphia is the water supply. The present works must be largely increased, and much beyond the per manent or immediately prospective requirements of the city. One million dollars are asked for to effect the nec essary additions to the present pump ing, reservoir and conducting facili ties. It is refreshing to learn that the gormandizing grasshoppers are coining to grief at last. An examination by dissection, made by Messrs. Duukee I and Stout, extensive farmers nearj Fort Scott, Kansas, develop the fact! that about three-fourths of the grass-1 hoppers so examined contain each a j live maggot, which, it is believed, will j soon exterminate the pests. The • question now arises, what will the I maggots do after they demolish the j grasshoppers. The Stanton Virginian understands that grasshoppers have made their ap pearance in comparatively large num bers in some sections of Augusta coun ty, and have begun the work of des truction with an appetite that bids fair to devour grass, grain and foliage. The Virginian says tho indications point to a very small harvest this year, and there is a general apprehension of a very great failing off in the corn crop. Mn J. 31. Buh-ett, at Barrellt>\ ilie DfeWSOii county, is otir duly authorized j agent to receive and receipt for sub scriptions to the Eagle.

We are going soon to make up a list of the summer resorts in North- East Georgia, to serve as a guide to tourists through this section during the summer. We want an advertise ment from every hotel and public house in this section, so tLat we call mention aii, and tell their merits. “I lots to Bee-Keepers.” Some friend sends'ns a little book entitled, “Hints to Bee-Keepers,” that is a valuable help to apiarians. It is published by H. A. King A Cos., at No. 14, Murray Btroet, New York, and is sent to any address for ten cents. This firm are also publishers of the Bee- Keepers’ Journal and National Agri culturist, at $1.50 per annum. Send for a specimen copy. Union and Towns Courts. The spring session of the Superior Courts of the counties of Union and Towns were held—the first named the last week in May, and the other the first week in June, at both of which we were present most of the time. Judge Knight, who presides over these courts, is giving general satisfaction in uis administration of the law, and is quite popular with the masses for the fidelity and faithfulness with which ho discharges his official duties. Solicitor- General Phillips is one of tho most vigous pros', curing officers in the State, aud is a terror to evil-doers. The business of these courts was light, par ticularly on the civil dockets. On the criminal side the charges were chielly for the minor grade of offenses—mis demeanors aud the like. Crops north of the Blue Ridge were looking well. Wheat presented a splendid appearance. The cultivation of wheat is increasing in all tho moun tain counties, aud as the country grows older the yield is better, and tho crop inoro certain. Ten years ago but little wheat was raised north of the Biue ltidge, and such a thing as a good fioni'ing mill could not be found. Now, wheat is being hauled to the south side of the mountain for sale, [and they have a number o'f mVjis jvliich turn out spleendid grades of Jiuuy. The late spring frosts seriormfy in jured the fruit in most localities—to tally destroying in some orchards, while in others there will be enough for ordinary purposes. We noticed that a number of the more progressive farmers were devoting increased at tention to the cultivation of grasses this is a step in the right direction, and, if continued, is bound to tell well on the permanent prosperity of the country. When wo have more spaco we shall again recur to impressions received while in this “Piedmont” country. Strong. The following from tho Brunswick Appeal Comes so near fitting our own case that wo give it verbatim. “As tho report that we are very wealthy has gouo abroad among our subscribers and has made them awful slow about paying up, thinking, doubtless, we don't want the money, we hasten to say the report of our wealth is false in every particular. If ocean steamers were selling at a cent a dozen, we couldn’t make the first payment on a canoe. Tbe lightening of poverty has struck ns square, and had it not been for an armful of hay our devil managed to steal from a blind mule, our large and interesting family would bo with out a mouthful to eat at this moment. Is not this a sad picture, and can you, delinquent subscribers, look upon it without feeling the greenbacks rustle with indignation iu your pocket books? We do not like to dun you, but we must if you fail take the hint,.,, An interesting feature iu the next campaign in Maine wi'lbe the contest between the factions of the Republican party, led by Senator Morrill and Mr. Biaine, over tho former’s seat in the United States Senate. The Legislature of 187(> is to choose the successor, and |as it is customary iu the State to re ! elect next year the State Senators*new ly chosen this year, a part of the con t ost is to be decidednow. It is said to be no secret in Maine that the ex- Speaker is going to do his best to se cure Mr. Morrill’s scat, and it is equally evident that Mr. Morrill is de termined to do his best to keep posses sion. Mr. Blaine is said to have earn ed his point iu securing the nomina tion of Gen. Selden Corner for Gov ernor, but beyond that nothing is as yet determined. How would you like to have your sugar whitened with the bones of men who died for their country? They are apparently having it that way in France. They have formed a factory for the manufacture of animal charcoal at Metz, which is supplied with bones from the battle fields over there. This product is used in refining sugar. The hiovti hsisliip. A friend, writing us Mticon, winds tip his letter as follows: “What are j*our views on the race for Governor, that there is some agi tation about just now ? Knowing that you were one of the opponents of Hon. B. 11. Hill, in his late race for Congress in your district, I desire to know your views in regard to the effect which that contest will have in your section on the Gubernatorial race.” In answer to the inquiry of our friend we desire to state that we think the discussion of the Gubernatorial question at this time aftogether pre mature. It is calculated to do the cause of Democracy no good. The names of a number of good men have been suggested for the position, and recently we see a few of the influential papers of the State centering on ex- Gov. Charles J. Jenkins. Wo cannot support his nomination for reasons purely local. We believe him to be a good man, but one of bis acts, while he was Governor of Georgia, we deem sufficient for us to oppose his getting into the same position again. We al lude to his veto of the bill that was passed by the Legislature of IBGS-GG, granting Btate aid to tho Air-Line Railroad The bills granting aid to the Macon & Brunswick and the Air- Line Railroads were both passed by the same Legislature, with exactly the same provisions; he approved the Macon A Brunswick bill, and vetoed the Air-Lino bill, Both roads in time have been com pleted. The Macon & Brunswick is au “elephant” on the State; the Air- Line received the aid of the State un der Bullock’s administration, but nev er used a dollar of it. Tho action of Gov. Jenkins in this matter can never be explained to us, or to the people of North-East Georgia. Tho building of tho Air-Line has opened up one of the finest sections of the State; and the increase in the taxable property in the counties lying on and contiguous to the road, shows the wisdom of its con struction, while the building of the Macon A Brunswick road has done nothing for the State except to saddle a debt upon it that the people are poorly able to pay. This is our rea son for opposing Gov. Jenkins. Now,as to whether or not tho late race for Congress in this district throws any light on the Gubernatorial ques tion, we have this to say: If the Democratic Gubernatorial convention, when it assembles, ends like tho con vention did in this district, it will cer tainly effect the r.teo for Governor.— Here, a minority, assuming in the convention to represent tho wishes of an fjority of tho people of tho dis trictp stuck to Mr. Hill with a tenacity that lias seldom, if ever, been equalled in the history of conventions. They championed one of tho greatest ora tors of the country, and this fact alone enabled them to carry their point. It is looked upon by what we will call the Feltonites, in Georgia, as -a tri umph of an independent over a con vention, and we predict that it will be used with telling effect in the next race for Governor. Felton represents a class of voters that will be found, on a strict investi gation, to be very strong. They will not go into a convention on any con dition. That class of the Democratic party who will go into a convention will bo divided up among the different candidates for the position, no one of whom will be able to control a major ity, much less two-thirds, of the del egates. Now, to get up a split, it will only be necessary for the friends of one of the candidates to go to another one, and one or all the balance cry out “political traders !” “tricksters !” and other like epitkers, and the work is done. A Domination can be prevented in this way by a minority, and unless the majority quietly fold their hands and suffer the minority to thrust their man upon tho convention, the work is done and the party divided for the cam paign. The Feltonists in this in.-tance will stick like leeches to the minority man, and if the lesson taught in this district amounts to anything, he will be elected. This will probably answer the second interrogatory propounded by our friend. Now, unless the Democratic party considers itself intirely safe in this State, let what may happen, we think it high time a pause was made, and the situation seriously examined. The next nominee of the Democratic party, if a nomination is effected, is not going to walk over the track as easily as Gov. Smith did. There is more dis sention and dissatisfaction existing to day' in the Democratic party, as far as our knowledge extends, Ilian has ex isted since ISGO. AVe know certain politicians, and others who desire to make capital out of the downfall of the party, will hoot at the idea, but we ask such just to hold on and see. Let every newspaper and cross roads politician in the land put for ward his man, and stick to him like “grim death to a white horse,” leaving entirely out of sight fbiciple and party organization, and, onr word for it, an Independent will succeed James M. Smith, as Governor of the State of Georgia. The disappearance of that $47,000 from the government treasury is great ly exercising Spinner and the detectives. The people are more concerned, howev er, in finding out where numberless other large sums have gone to, which should be in the treasury, end they hope to find out when congress meets iu December. l*re< i tv Fr. iri The alii'-on is now opening when BVery hoiisewife should commence to preserve what fruit will be required during the winter and spring months. Heretofore fruit canning has been looked upon as being an expensive process, and only those in affluent cir cumstances couia indulge in the luxu ry of peach aud cherry pies in the win ter, because it was fancied that fresh fruit could not be preserved in any thing save the t xpensive patent glass cans with which the country has been, flooded. \\ e are glad to be able to disabuse the minds of our readers on this subject, aud give only what we know to be facts, from actual experi ence. The best vessel we know of for pre serving fruit is a jar manufactured and sold at jug prices, by W. G. Pitchford, of Leo, White county, Gi\, Probably other people iu the up.country make equally as good ware, but we have tested Mi'. Pitchford’s jars, and know whereof we speak But to the process: PKEPAipiNG THE FRUIT. Our method is, to put the fruit in a preserving kettle of soma kind —a glared iron kettle, or oven a tinned one, or a tin bucket will sweeten it with just sugar or honey, enough to fit it for the table. The sweetening is added in the form of a syrup, made by boiling from quo to three pounds of sugar (usually two pounds) with one quart of water. The more juicy fruits, such as strawberries, blackberries, Ac., require lesa sjrup, while pears and quinces require more. The fruit is heated with tho syrup just long enough to scald it through.— Some prefer to use less sweetening, and add more when the fruit is used. Others use no sugar; they think the fruit keeps just as well, and preserves its aroma better without any sugar) We prefer to use all tho sugar that is to be needed, believing that the fruit will probably keep more certainly, and it is then always ready to pour out at once upon the table. The fruit to be preserved should be in good condition —ripe, but not over-ripe, nor contain ing any decayed portions. Tomatoes are peeled, and then cooked down one half, as this makes a better sauce, and requires less jar room. HOW CANNED. '~ m ~ Now take common, wide-mouthed glass boltes or stone jars; those with a rim around the neck are preferable. Procure thick Canton flannel, or any other thick doth; cut it into squares sufficiently large to cover the top,and neck of the jar. Dip these pieces into heated grafting wax, made by melting together one pound rosin, two ounces beeswax aud one and a half ounces tal low. Several pieces may be put* in at one time, and should be re- r main in until they aVc perfeetlwsatu rated with the wax. Just before fill ing a jar with fruit, take out one of those pieces, thus allowing it to cool a little. By doing so they can be han dled with greater ease, and there is no danger of the wax running through them into the fruit. After the wax has been kept hot a long time it is apt to harden slightly. A little tallow should then be added, In preparing the fruit, one pound of sugar to six pounds of raspberries, blackberries, whortleberries, etc., is sufficient; wnile for straw berries and the more acid fruits, one pound to four is requisite. Add a small quantity of water, and cook the fruit a trifle less thaa if it were to be used immediately upon the table. Heat the bottles or jars to prevent breaking; this may be done by placing them underneath the stove, or else by putting them in a kettle of cold water and gradually heating it. Pour the hot fruit into the hot jar or bottle, filling it full; wipe the top and outside perfectly dry; have ready a piece of white paper cut so that it will just fit the inside of the mouth of the bottle or jar, and lay it on the top of the fruit. Now you are prepared for the sealing process. The pieces of cloth being all ready, having been previous ly saturated with the wax and allowed to cool three or four minutes, place one of them over the mouth of the vessel, drawing it as tightly as possi ble, and then wind a piece of strong twine round and round, binding the edges of the cloth firmly against the neck. Then with a spoon dip on a little of the hot wax, spreading it even over the top of the cloth, and over this place a paper large enough to cover the top and neck of the jar, smoothing it as closely aa possible, and it is sealed. As soon as they cool, a glance will determine whether they are air-tight or not, as, if so, there will be a slight depression of the cover.— The least hole will prevent this con cavity, and thus indicate at once the necessity of repeating the sealing proc ’ess. If care be taken, not one bottle in forty will fail of being perfectly sealed at first. Kentucky is preparing to hold, at Louisville, impressive memorial ser vices in honor of John C. Breckinridge, on the 17th of the present month. To this meeting are called all Kentuckians irrespective of party affiliations. It is to be an imposing demonstration of respect for the illustrious son of Ken tucky. All the orders and societies are expected to participate. Gov. Les lie will preside, and the oration will be delivered by Gen. William Preston. The city will be clad in mourning, and every mark of respect and sorrow will distinguish the day. JaaeS gave a lawyer a bill to be Collected to the amount of S3J. Call ing for it, after awhile, he inquired if it had been collected. “0, yes,” ..aid theTaWyer, “I have it all for you.” “What charge for collecting ? ‘ “Ob,” said the lawyer, laughing, “I'm not going to charge yon—why I have known you ever since you were a baby, and your father before you ; S2O will be about right,” handing over $lO. “Well,” said Jones, as ho meditated upon the transaction, ‘its darned lucky he didn’t know 7 my grandfather, or I shouldn’t have got anything ?’ Nothing is more touching than filial affection. Thus, a newsboy in Wash ington was overheard io soliloquize as he counted his pennies: “Seven teen cents in all. That’s live for the circus, three for peanuts, four for a sinking fund, four I owe Jack, and there’s one to support a "widowed mother on until Saturday night!” A. boy like that will do well —a great deal better, in fact, than his widowed mother, who mustn’t rely too much on the generosity of this acute little semi orphan. Grant ought to interfere in New Hampshire. The Democrats are get ting control of the State, there is a in the*"Legislature, and he shojnld send troops there as lie did to Louisiana. The cases are perfectly parallel, except that he had a brother in-law in New Orleans and has nom in Concord. But that is only a mat ter of family interest. In point oi principle the cases are the smae, and if necessary he might send a brother in-law there for a w 7 hile and then order on their troops. COMMtTNIC vri!r> Ifiiod Templars’ Picnic. The members of Evening Star Lodge, I. O. G. TANARUS., of Homer Banks county, Ga., gave a picnic on the 28tli ult. They, with a number of visitors from sister Lodges, marched under an elegant banner from the lodge room to the Presbyterian Church, where a large crowd had assembled to hear the speaking. Speeches were made by Itev. G. H. Cartledge, of Jefferson, and Samuel C. Robinson, G. W. S., of Atlanta. Mr. Cartledge made a most excellent speech, seasoned with that fervid pa thos and earnest style for which lie is noted, holding the audience spell bound for over an hour. Among other things he said that before he would deal out the maddening fluid to his fellow man, he would crawl on his hands and knees and work the bal nice of his life fbUa .support. Mr. Robinsoni, also, in conclusion, made a most His of convincing beyond all cavil—and especially inter esting were his shrewd, sarcastic, yet pleasant anecdotes. He is altogether a successful lecturer—thoroughly and sacredly dedicated to his cause, untir ing in energy, quick, and ready at all times to say and do whatever may be beneficial to his Order. Truly he is the right man in the right place. After speaking, the crowd adjourned to the dinner table, where a plentiful and rich repast aw r aited them, which was enjoyed to the full satisfaction of all present. The whole thing was altogether a very pleasant affair; and much and lasting good was done—not only in building up the Order by the addition of several new members, but the Churches and the whole community are greatly benefitted by the moral tone and impression left among the people. Such meetings are always food to the nobler principles and fac ulties of man. The Good Templars at Homer are in a very properous condition. Their labors are gladdening the hearts of all the truly goocl in the vicinity. Gr. T. NEW ADVERTISE ME N TS. GENERAL PRESENTMENTS, UNION SUPERIOR COURT, MAY TERM, 1875. We, the Grand Jurors choseu, sworn and selected for the present term, have the honor to submit the following report: We have, through appropriate committees, examined the condition of the various county offices, and find them properly kept and in good condition; and we have also examined into the condition of the Coart House and Jail, and find that the Court House has been considerably damaged by a storm which lately passed throngh this vicinity, but we are grat ified to know that our very efficient Ordinary has the same now under contract for repair ing. We find the Jail in tolerably good con dition, but hardly secure. We further find that the public roads in certain localities are in bad condition, and receommend that the Road Commissioners throughout the county look after (ho same, and have all public roads well worked soon after crops arc laid by. Wo are proud to know that the morals of the county are improving, as we have seen less drinking the present term of this Coutt than any previous Court for some years. We, the Grand Jury, further recommend that the provisions of an act entitled an act to provide for the payment of the claims of school officers and teachers for services rendered in the year 1871, approved March 3rd, 1874., shall not apply or operate in the county of Union, except 50 per cent, on the claims of the County School Commissioner for the year 1871, to be paid out of the funds appropriated to the county of Union. We lurther recommend that the Ordinary of Union county levy a light tax for conoty pur poses, as will meet the emergence of the case. We farther recommend the Ordinary allow himself the snm of S6O for his services; and in taking leave of His Honor N. B. Kuight, Jadge of said Court, we tender to him our sincere thanks for the able and impartial man ner in which he has handled the scales of jus- tice during the present term. We also tender onr thanks toC. D. Phillips, Solicitor-General, for his very efficient services during the pres ent term. All of which is respectfully sub mitted. It is requested by the Grand Jury that the Clerk of the Superior Court furnish the Gainesville Eagle with a copy of the same for publication. THOS. J. BUTT, Foreman.
