Harris’ Independent High School closed Jts Spring Session with an Exhibition, at Floral Hal!, on Friday evening last. The speeches and dialogues were admirably se lected and well delivered. The children all acquitted themselves so handsomely that we refrain from personal allusions.— Jt is enough to say that the Exhibition was highly entertaining, and reflected great credit upon Dr. Harris and his pupils.

Jordan Moore (colored), whose leg was amputated by our city physicians last week, is doing well, and we are informed, will survive the operation, if no untoward circumstance occurs. Jordan has suffered -/or twelve years from disease of the leg of a scrofulous nature involving both bones, which were much enlarged and as rough as a rasp. The leg amputated was so much involved as to require operation above the knee. All the physicinns in the city were present and aided in the amputation. But /or their untiring and intelligent efforts he would have died from the effects of chloro form, and the county in all probability have lost an opportunity of extending the bene fits of the pauper farm “ I'oefn Xascilur,” etc By special request, we publish the follow ing lines from an iiate damsel.

June 17tli, 1875, in Oglethorpe County, Oa , Mrs. MAH ALA BROWN, in the seven ty-eighth year of her age. She was born February 7th, 1798. In 1827 she pro fessed faith in Christ, and was baptized into the fellowship of Antioch Baptist Church, by Rev. Jack. Lumpkin. Our sister was remarkable for her sweet and lovely disposition. Just one week be fore her death one of our best old men de clared her to be “ The most amiable lady he ever knew.” But this is not all ; she was an affectionate wife, a good neighbor, a devoted Christian. How painful.to give up oijr aged mothers in Israel, yet when we remember that they have an abiding interest in the blood of Christ, we feel moved to say: “ Well done good and faithful servant, enter into (lie joys of thy Lord.” May our aged Brother Brown be com forted, remembering that his wife has only gone home and will soon welcome him into the kingdom of ultimate glory. May all her children obtain an interest in that salvation which was precious to their mother. We commend them all into the hands of God. C. June 24th, 1875. [communicated.] St. violin's Way iss Sparta. On the 24th inst., accepting an invitation from the Silver Cornet Band of Sparta,we attended the Masonic celebration at that beautiful little place. Leaving here on Wednesday we arrived at Mr. John Cawlhon’s about sunset, who entertained us at his new residence in handsome style. Before sunrise we awakened the people of Sparta with our brazen notes, having stolen a march on them and driven in earlier than we were expected. Soon the commit tee made their appearance and we were taken to the hotel, where we finished an ex cellent breakfast. At 9 o'clock the Ma sonic procession was formed in front of the Lodge and marched to Mullally’s Grove, accompanied by the two bands. A Ma sonic oration was then delivered by the venerable Ur. Means, who held his hearers spellbound while he gave them a history of Free-Masonry from the early periods of the world, and set forth its beauties and excel lencies, completely vindicating its claims as the most sublime and beneficent organ ization ever established by man. An ample dinner with profuse variety was then en joyed, everything being conducted quietly aud harmoniously, when we were marched back to the Court House and disbanded. A ball was given at the Edward’s House at night, which was largely attended, and early next morning our “boys” left for home with grateful memories of a day, long to tie remembered, spent witli the Spartans who had entertained us in a manner never excelled for kindness or true hospitality. Our thanks are due the Masonic fraternity and the citizens generally, especially the ladies, whose bright eyes and beautiful faces will long be the dream of the “ boys ” of the Oreenesbobo’ Ba.ni>.

[COMMUNICATED.] ICAHiRiXIXC. “ Who steals my purse, steals trash; ’tis something, nothing ; ******* But he, that filches from me my good name, Robs me of that, which not enriches him, And makes mo poor indeed.” Was the language of one of Eng land's sages—atul applies to the back biter no less than to the slanderer Backbiting is only a modified kind of slander To speak evil of one who is absent; to secretly slander an a! sent person ; to speak opprobriously of one who is not near by to defeud liimself. These characters are but too numerous in every community, and aro even greater pests of society than the two classes we have before noticed, “ Tat tlers” and “Meddlers.” These three accomplishments are usually combined in the character and attach to the same persons, hut the backbiter is of all the most to be dreaded and shunned —his work is usually carried on in se cret; he talks “upon the square,” which is considered as a peculiarly serious mode f binding ne to secrecy, id implies a truthful statement on the part of the speaker. It is often thus that people’s charactersare dissected in secret, their weak points exposed, and, though passably good, confidence in them is destroyed and great harm re sults. This sometimes happens with the innocent, as it did with the minis ter who, it was reported, had whipped his wife, when in truth they were en gaged in chasing a mouse which had intruded itself into their chamber, she screamed with fear, (most women are afraid of ’.nice,) while he gave chase around the room, broom in hand, to destroy the little trespasser —those passing by, hearing tin noise, with out inquiring the cause, hastened to spread the report much to the injury and mortification of a good and other wise useful man. Ministers as a class, though they are never so careful, are often objects of censure, on whom the spiteful delight to pour their venom, and whom they often injure by scatter ing seeds of discontent among their parishioners. Ministers arc human, aud as such frequently err, but due al lowance is scarcely ever made for their imperfections. To speak of another’s faults behind his back is cowardly, if not mean. To tell one of his faults to his face, in a proper spirit, is an evi dence of true friendship aud is manly. A good rule is never to speak ill of any body, but to avoid flattery always. We can manifest our approval of one’s life and conduct without flattering ; we can. show our disapproval by our tnanner> without censoriousness. Let us reuiem ber that “ perfection on earth is never attained,” tberelore wo should be very charitable to all men, who are not wholly depraved, forgiving one another, 11 for if we forgive not one another, how can we expect to be forgiven ” by our Heavenly Father. Lastly, “ let him who is without sin cast the first stone.” The following stanzas, under the caption of “ Re Careful What You Say,” are so entirely appropriate that I have copied them and beg that you will insert them in full: In speaking of a person’s faults, l’ray don’t forget your own ; Remember, those with homes of glass, Should seldom throw a stone ; If we have nothing else to do But talk of those who sin Tis better wo commence at home And from that point begin. We have no right to judge a man Until lie’s fairly tried, Should we not like V > ■ ! ' . We know the world is wide; Some may have faults—aud who have not— The old as well as young, Perhaps we may, for ought we know, Have fifty to their oue. We will tell you of a better plan And one that works full well, Let’s try our own defects to cure Before of others tell ; And though we sometimes hope to be No worse than some we know Our own short-comings bid us let The faults of others go. Then let us all when we commence To slander friend or foe, Think of the harm one word may do To thoso wo little know ; Remember curses sometimes, liko Our chickens, “roost at home; ” Don’t speak of others faults until We have none of our own.

This body will convene in the Baptist Church at Union Point, Tuesday the 13th day of July, and continue three days. It lias been brought forward oue week earlier than the regular time, in consequence of the adjourned Term of Greene Superior Court—so says the Rev. J. A. Carter, the Moderator, in the Christian Index of last week. We hope to see a full attendance of the delegates and their friends, lietlmny Sdiool. We learn from parties who attended the public exercises of this school, that the ex amination of the pupils reflected great credit upon the teacher, Miss Ella Rhodes. The compositions were firslrate and admir ably adapted to the -■ belais reading them and to the occasion The speeches were well chosen and well delivered. So -ays a teacher who was present and e think is well qualified to judge. The whole exer cises were very complimentary to Miss Rhodes, and place her fully in the confi dence of her patrons and the community. We speak from our personal knowledge when we say she i3 a young lady of real worth aud splendid accomplishments. Kultiim in Pai-vo. We visited one evening this week, a grass lot on (he farm of Col. J. B. Hart, and must say that it was the finest we have ever seen. It is a mixture of Herd's Grass and Clover, and was being mowed by a Buck-Eye Mower while we were present. It seems almost incredible that two tons of hay can be cut from an acre—but Col. 11. thinks there is fully that much, and from the number and size of the heaps we think so too. He has two acres in the lot we saw, and he will he able to cut it again in September, making perhaps from the lot six to eight tons. That beats cotton out of hearing. We should be glad to know that every farmer had just such a lot. There is so little labor required for it that it amounts to almost nothing. You have to seed it once in three or four years, and spend a couple of days each year in mow ing and housing, and all is done. Col. 11. also showed us an eight acre field planted in Bateman corn, which we pronounced very fine. It is from four to six weeks earlier than the common corn, is very prolific and fills a gap between the old and new crop that is very desirable. The Hawks of Society. Ominous has given us through the Herald two firstrate articles during the last two weeks—one on “ Tattling,” and the other on “ Meddlers,” —and we commend them earnestly to the characters portrayed. Wo would be glad to have him write two more —one on “ Grumblers,” and one on “ Ex travagant Talkers.” We have representa tives of each class in every community. We propose in a very short article to speak of a different class of persons from any of these— a class not so numerous per haps. but greater pestz lo the community in which they live. We shall denominate them the “ Hawks of Society.” You find them in every neighborhood, perched upon some place, where they can observe the ac tions and doings of society ready at the first chance to drop down and make a grab. They are the first at all public gatherings where there is the least possible chance of picking a bone. They uttend all public sales, auctions and distributions, if there sh ould happen to be any, to have the first bid, or tho first take it inny be, and never go away without having made the best bargain. They watch the approach of school exhibitions end commencements, district and general meetings, associations and conventions, and arc prepared to take advantage of the situation to ask a little more than the market price, or to put something upon the necessity of the occa sions unfit for use. They go upon the prin ciple that tho peoplo can’t help themselves, and will be compelled to buy whether they want to or not. They seem to think uow is the time to turn a penny. It is true they live in the community, and are a part of the people, and ought to share the burden, but they generally shirk the responsibility if they can. They stand ready, however, with what is needed to supply others at a little, and sometimes a great deal higher price than the same articles bring in market. They never have anything to sell unless the demand is imperative, and never buy unless the necessity is urgent. In every settlement they manage to get the odd cents, and try to keep the fractions in weights on their side. Their motlo is to get all they can, and keep all they get. It is very little benefit society ever de rives from them, if any, and they could very well be spared from every community PENFIELD DEPAHTMOI ’ LOCAL DOTS BIT NOVICB tVlereer mditml Is flourishing ** like a green bay’s tree.” Five accessions have been made to the school within a few days. llus taken possession of our people.

Harris’ exhibition on Friday night. The Hr. got up quite a spicy affair. We were struck with the easy, graceful manner in which “ grin’s Flag ” was handled. “Ouiiiums ” lias given us two articles—one on “ Tat tling” and another on “ Meddling.” Now we would like to hear something on "Gos sip.” It seems to us to he quite as harm ful as either of the other vices; though it is dealt with in a much more lenient way. Should we not condemn it in the sUongest terms. Is it not the cause of much Un pleasantness in almost every community ? Every sensitive pature shrinks from hav ing private affairs reported or talked about, even though nothiug unpleasant is connected therewith. If every [one would resent such interference very soon we should have no "Gossips.” Again, per sons who talk a great deal acquire a habit of exaggeration which upsets and turns facts around so that wo scarcely recognize then}. There is much trouble, inconveni ence and derangement of private affairs caused by allowing people to know too much of one’s business.
