The hens are busy and furnish an abun. dunce of eggs at 10 cents a dozen. Cows seem to feel the effect of hard times, and supply us with white, mild butter at 12£ cents. There are rumors of on early change of schedule on the Air Line, with astonishing ncrease of speed. Ordination and installation of Deaconß at Presbyterian Church next Sabbath morning All the members especially urged to attend. Ihe six prisoners for violation of the reve nue laws, broke jail Sunday nigbt, and be sides escaping themselves released a negro from the dungeon, who also escaped. The Valentine Masquerade last night was a grand success- at least that is the telephonic message from the future. Our boys are rat tling type amazingly in order to verify this message. Ben Davis is doing good work along the Air Line for the Atlanta Daily Tribune. We heartily recommend him and the paper— both deserve success, and if merit be of any vale they will achieve it. We are glad to learn that the new school house at Harmony Grove Church is about completed. Miss Lizzie Itichards, au accom plished and successful teacher, of this city, will have charge of the school. Two weeks ago, in Tiger district, Rabun county, a young man named McLean, killed another, named Hardaway (?) by throwiug a stone and striking him in the temple. Both parties were under the influence of whisky. Those desiring to learu the French language have an excellent opportunity ot doing so un der instructions from Mrs. George Smith, who has the department of French iu the Gaines ville College. French is her mother tongue, and she speaks it as fluently as English. Her charges are only $2 a month. Hon. George D. ltice, Judge of the Superi or Court of this Circuit, paid ns a pleasant visit on Friday last. He had just returned from Oconee Court, which is the first on the list in the Spring riding. We were pleased to find Ilia honor iu excellent health and fine spirits.- Southern Watchman. Wo have received several inquiries from other States, during the past week, relative to locations iu this section for stock-raising. Those having good stock farms for sale would <1 well to advertise them; or, if they are not v ling to incur that expense, send us descrip tions and prices <>f such places, so that we’ tile them away, and refer to them when i information is wanted. This last will not cost anything. It is not our custom to call attention to ad vertisements of patent medicines, but if we know the medicines to bo beneficial, wc have no objection to saying so. The Globe Flow er is a growthjot Georgia and other "Southern States, and wo have known the most benefi cial results from,its use for coughs, one when the patient was thought to be in consunap lion. Read tho notice—also that of Morrell’s Hfpatine. * Doth the fool think that one lie, like a nail, driveth out another? The statement that Cos). Redwiue had “resumed the proprietorship and editorial management of the Eagle, ’ “yesterday morning,’’ the Ath, was not true. Tho falsehood was iu print before our letter to Mayor llradley was written, and the negotia tions then pending betweenOol. Redwine and ourself were not consummated or contem plated at the time of writing—a little before dark of that day. We do. m this much neces sary to gratify tho curious. “All liars shall have their | art in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” Rev. xxi: 8. So then there is a material hell, aud it seems that the brimstone is a special provision tor the liar. This reconciles us to the belief that Beecher made a mistake. If the liar be not sufficiently punished here, he is sure to catch it hereaf ter. Deputy Marshal Gaston is waking up the illicit distillers of the mountains, in a lively way. Last week he arrested seven in the Gaddistowu District of Union county, and brought them down, together with an un nown number of witnesses. The prisoners had a hearing before Commissioner Dunlap Friday and Saturday aud six of them were committed. Two of them are under suspend ed seutencc, or a plea of guilty. Mr. Smith, of tho house of Smith A Jen kins, took his departure, a few days ago, for the Northern markets, to purchase a spring stock. As these gentlemen purchase in the cheapest markets in tho world, pay cash for their goods, aud keep their business before the people by liberal advertising, aud give their customers the advantage of their bar gains, it is no wonder that they are constantly increasing their already large business. We did not intend to tell the secret of their sue cess, but as it is out, let it go. The readers of the Eagle will be duly advised of the arri val of their spring stock. Dr. Janes, Commissioner of Agriculture, has issued a circular encouraging the forma tion of neighborhood agricultural clubs, in which there is an excellent form for the con stitution and by-laws of such. Application to the Commissioner of Agriculture, Atlanta, will secure one or more of these circulars. Another circular (No. 50) from the same source, gives the results of soil tests of fertili zers in various parts of the State, and in a va riety of soils. Such tests are more satisfacto ry to farmers thau chemical auaUses. Those who contemplate the use of fertilizers (and what farmer does not?) will hud this circular both interesting and profitable. White Sulphur Springs. The improvements at these springs, uuder the superintendence of Ur. J. M. Holmes, are progressing satisfactorily, and arc expect ed to be completed by the first of June. The main building is fifty-five by seventy-five feet, two stories and a basement. Besides this, ten four-room cottages are in- progress, and the timbers for a church is being gotten. The old buildings containing twelve rooms, will be moved to the road and rebuilt. The grounds will bp beautifully terraced. MARRIED. Miller— Cooley. —By Rev. J. R.

Harper. 1 am dreaming the olden dream agaiu, When all was quiet within; I am dreaming he holds my hand iu his, As he did in the years grown dim. I am dreaming of the love-lit glance of yore, As it was in the olden days; And the song of the waves in the love-rushing tide, Briugs back the warm heart’s silent lays, Of the long, long ago, in the bright-lived past, When the whispeis of love wtre borne On tbe mdloaii g breizs of the olden time, Ere my days of brightness were shorn. Ini dreamiug we stand ’neath the star-rjbed sky, Where the wind's gentle whisperings played O t-r the timid brows of tbe fragile blooms, That smiled in the slumbering woods’ shade. No sweeter fragrance it bears from them now Than the tones that fall on my ears. Iu th stilluess o' night—'tis the long, long ago, That comes o’er my dreary years. I dream 'tis a dream all these sad years be tween, And my eyes grow dim with the light Of the mystic past, as it sweeps along, With these visions so real and bright; Of tones and glances long silenced ami lost In the buried days of the past. I turn me again to the music of years— Too charming, too joyous, to last. * I wake with a start to my old life again, And I sigh when I think, for me The coming years have the burden and pain, They’ve had siuce I parted from thee. Atlanta, Oa. , Dec. 15, 1876. • Written on a sick-be.l, after hearing her physi cian say, ‘•she’ll live now.” (FOB THE EAGLE.) A Valentine. Pour V Idole demon Cceur. Awake, uiy muse, and sing a song To her I love sincerely; Tell her how earnest and how long I’ve loved her, and how dearly. Tell her of the picture sweet, Made by the artist, Hope, Of our future—so replete Witb joy that naught csn cope. Sing to her of that roseate morn Where love shall ever shine— And when no heart shall sigh or mourn, That they’ve no Valentine. Then ask her to come live with me, AuJ I’ll her heart confine By strongest bonds of love, and be Her faithful Valentine. I. 0. G. T. At a regular meeting of Bellton Lodge, No. 418, I. O.

There was a larger attendance at the meet - ing of this Association last Sunday, thau at any previous meetiug this year.

If a stranger comes to town, and is looking about for a home and a business location, sneer at the idea af his locating here. Tell him our business is all overdone; our schools are a failure; our churches don’t amount to anythiug; there is no society; taxes are enor mous; real estate is going down; and, in fact, the place is a dead failure. Thus you prevent a man comiag in to help make business, to help pay taxes and support local institutions. —North Georgian. Admitted to Practice. Last week Mr. James O. Wynn made appli cation to the court then holding at Athens, for license to practice law. He was subjected to a searching examination by that venerable jurist, Wm. L. Mitchell, L.L.D., of the Uni versity Law School. His proficiency, as fully demonstrated by his answers, was a grat ifying surprise to those present, and especially so, as he had been studying law but a com paratively short period. Mr. Wynn has been prosecuting his studies under the direction of Mess. Marler A Perry, of this city. His tal ents, energy aud affability give promise of a brilliant future.

Inasmuch as certain busybodics have been nozing into my affairs, and may possibly mis lead some good,citizen as to my motives and action in reference to the. city printing, it may not be improper o publish my letter to the Council. Office Gainesville Eagle, Gainesville, Ga., January 21, 1878. To the Honorable the Mayor and Council of the City of Gainesville: Gentlemen —Having been invited by your committee to put in a bid for your city print ing, I beg leave to hand you the following. I propose to print your proceedings and such ordinances as you may pass during the year, for the sum of Fifty Dollars. The average amount of printing done by the Eaole, last year, for the city, at rates paid by its mercantile customers, was nearly seven dollars per week. This offer is, therefore, about one-seventh of the rates paid by the merchant customer, and is as low as this or any other office ought to be required to do the work, if compensation be the object of the Council in soliciting bids. Should your honorable body come to the conclusion tbit the city’s financial condition, and the rules of economy wisely adopted by your body, demand any closer or more rigid cutt ng down than the figure I have named, it will be my pleasure to meet your views oa the dead level, and, excluding the idea of compensation altogether, publish your pro ceedings as news matter, without pay. I make this proposition iu perfect good faith, and with high consideration for the views of the Council on the question of econ omy and retrenchment. The sweeping re duction of all salaries met my hearty approv al, and this propsition is intended to harmon ize with that action. I have the honor to be, gentlemen, very re spectfully, Your ob’t s’v’t, Carey W. Styles. Note.— Council met weekly last year, and paid SIOO for its printing. The present Council meets bi-weekly only. Leiter From Morgan County. Editor Gainesville Eagle: After I left Rutledge I spent a week at Fuirplay in the upper corner of Morgan coun ty near the Walton line. This is a little cross roads place—two stores, etc. Mr. George F. Ponder, one of the wealthiest men of tho county, lives here in a splendid residence with beautiful surroundings, but has uo heir, having lost all his children, fourteen in num ber. Mr. David Williams has fine property and is doing a fine trade. Thousands of liq uor is drank throughout this part of the coun try, almost every store having a bar attached- I saw lots of stout-looking young men fre quenting these sinks of ruin, with not money enough to buy a pair of brogan shoes and no credit. The reason is patent. After leaving Fairplay I spent a day or two with James E. Hardeman, on Sandy Creek. He is one of the cleverest, noble-hearted gentlemen I ever met. He has a fine residence, good mills, gin, farm and orchard. In his orchard is per haps the largest apde tree in the Southern States; it is about nine feetjin circumference and has borne one hundred and fifty bushels of apples a year. ' Some of the large limbs are now broken off, but when they were intact the top was sixty feet across. It is tho master apple tree, certain. Mr. Hardeman has an on’y child, a sou, John D., who is a temper ate, steady, hard working young gentleman, deservedly very popular in the country. Mrs. H. is princely ~in hospitality, and has the hap py faculty of making everybody feel at home in her house. Taking leave of ibis splendid family, I visit ed High Shoals, calling by to see Dr. Walker, who is teaching a fine school at Rehobathville. The Doctor is not only a good teacher but a fine talker and makes one wish he could stay louger with him. I had the pleasure of speud jng the night at the Shoals with Dr. Roberts who is the live physiciau of that .country. I attended the meeting of the Odd Fellows lodge, and found the lodge in good condition and doing well. I notice a good deal of farm work being done through the country; fixing up fences, turning lands, etc. This is a good portion of Georgia, and farmers who work generally succeed well. Ileiveforttn “Qiseu Citv. M. P. C. Those who did not attend tho Library meeting last Saturday night, missed a treat. All the readings were well chosen and effect ively executed; but there was one deserving special notice. It was the reading of an edi tor’s trials (we do not recollect the heading of the piece) by Miss W. B. The youthfulness and modest diffidence of the reader, the truthfulness of tho-description, aud the ad mirable manner in which it was given, riveted the attention of the audience, especially that of five of the press-gaug, whose sympathy and appreciation were exhibited by five sets of gaping ivory and five pairs of sparkling eyes. All joined in deserved and hearly ap plause at the close of the reading. It would be well for the community if in creased interest were manifested for the suc cess of the Association. There is plenty of room on the roll for more members- A Nugget. A few days ago Mr. James Merck, Sr., while seaching for gold iu his mine, a mile and a half east of this city, found a nugget weighing twenty-three pennyweights. It was not pare gold, but, on being smelted, turned out eighteen pennyweights of solid gold. Mr. Merck is not working this mine regularly, but when he wants a little cash, and other sources fail to respond, he goes to his diggins and scratches around until he fiuds enough to supply his immediate wants. Shakespeare on Hell. Editor Sun: Your correspondent, A. R. F., endeavored to impress the readers of the Sun with the idt a that the great English drama tist believed in an eternal hell. He quotes from, ‘Hamlet,” act iii., scene 2. But A. R. F. should not have failed to dis cover the kiud of hell Shakespeare believed in. The ghost himself must be better authority on the subject than either the Prince of Den mark or A. R. F. This ghost was fresh from from the pit. He says, in answer to the Prince: I am thy father’s spirit; Doomed for a certain term to walk the night; Till the foul crimes done in my days of nature Are burnt and purged away. When the ghost’s limited time of absence had expired, he did not wait for an officer to take him back to liis prison hospital, but went of his own accord. He well knew that he had to stay there until his “foul crimes were burnt and purged away.” Unit. Homicide. On last Saturday night a difficulty occurred in Cleveland, between Mr. Pilgrim, a young man of about twenty years of age, sou of Mr. Wm Pilgrim, and a negro named George Smith. Pilgrim and the negro were wrest ling, and a fight was the result, in which Pil grim was considerably hurt, and the negro mortally wounded, by having a knife blade broken off in his temple. The negro died Sunday night. Several negroes were present, and ail were drinking. From what we learn, it was probably a case of self- defense. A war rant was issued for Pilgrim, but be had es- I caped arrest up to our late | 8 The Atla: ta Factory is still in trouble, but we have abiding faith iu Mr. Kimball's ability to rescue and run it.

The parent of insomnia or wakefulness is in nine cases out often dyspeptic stomach. Good digestion gives sound sleep, indigestion interferes with it. The brain and stomach sympathize. One of the prominent symp toms of a weak state of the gastric organs is a disturbance of the great nerve entrepot, the brain. Invigorate the stomach, and you re store equilibrium to the great center. A most reliable medicine for the purpose is Hostet ters Stomach Bitteis, which is far preferable to mineral sedatives and powerful narcotics which, though they may for a time exert a soporific influence upou the brain, soon cease to act, aud invariably injure the tone of the stomach. The Bitters, on the contrary, re store activity to the operations of that all important organ, and their beneficent influ ence is reflected iu sound sleep and a tran quil state of the nervous system. A whole some impetus is likewise gmn to the action of the liver and bowels by its use. COMMERCIAL . Gainesville Holton and Wheat Market. Gainesville, Feb. 7 1878.
