New York had 14 accidents by which lives were lost. New Jersey had several. In Marland not a per son was killed by a direct accident during the time named. An early settler in Indiana plant ed two trees in front of his cabin, saying to his wife that they should be the trees of their lives. In 1834 the one named after the man fell, and I be survived it but a little. Recently the woman’s tree died, and she lived but a day or two longer. A family in Pem-ville, Ky., had a narrow escape the other day- A back log was thrown on a kitchen fire at a short distance from that place, winch failed to burn up that night.

Wiirk©-- Ills Arrival In Texas—Views el the tuumrr. etc. PANOKRTIELD, TEXAS,) March 1, 1871. j Col. C. C. Kibbek — My Dear Friend: I left Ilawkiusville on the 26th of December last, bound for Texas. I arrived at Jeffers n in said State ou the morning of the 4th of January last, with my family all in good health, and I am happy to say are still in good health, and well satisfied with the country. In a few days after my arrival at Capt N. McDuffie’s, I started on a trip to Cncrokeo county, Texas, to visit my‘only brother, as well as to look out a location and look at the country, «a distance of about 150 mites south of this, ar.d in conse quence of the inelcmoncy of the weather and high waters, I wasabsent from my family about one month and did not see much of the country, con sidering the time I was out I was hemmed in by. water courses so that I could neither advance nor retrace my steps. I have met with many old friends and acquaintances since I arrived here. You can not go amiss for Georgians in Eastern Texas. I have been in seven tCuhlics in Eastern Texas, and according to my judgement, so fur as I have seen, I think this the best county for farmers that I have seen. There is a gre: t deal of land in this county that will produce with ordinary cultivation from 40 to 50 bushels of corn per acre, and some that will produce one bag of cotton per acre; but I would say to make an hive rage of the pro ducts of this county in corn and cot ton and not over rate its fertility, one bag of cotton to to wacros, |25 to 30 busiicls of corn per acre ; a fine oat country. Vegetables of all kinds do well heie that arc produced any where in the South. The lands arc densely timbered, but generally short timber. In some places rail timber is rather scarce. The portion of Texas that I have scon is generally well watered. I think VhC best water I ever saw is in Davis and Titus counties, in fact East ern Texas abounds in good water and an abundance of it, and also exceed ingly rich in iron ore. As to Health, the citiz.A* claim it to be healthy A great portion of Texas that I have seen has the ap pearance of a healthy Country. As to the price of lands, it ranges from one dollar to ten dollars per acre, elepending upon location and improvements. I have seen no land in Texas since I have been here that an industrious man could not make a decent suji l>ort on unless it be some that over flows or is too low for cultivation. I think the lauds here much more easy of cultivation than in Georgia. Plan ters produce more to the hand thaii they can gather. There is an abun dance of cotton now at this time in the field. Labor is scarce here. I have no hesitation in saying that this is the Promise Land for farming, and for all men that are willing to eat their bread by the sweat of their brow f and for all kinds of mechanics of any descriptiou here they will be lib erally rewarded for their labor in gold. All mercantile business pays here. A business that 1 am not a judge of, hut I think a good Country forn mer chant with a small capital to take a start, especially if he understands barter. I would advise ail of my old Georgia friends that hove no lands, and those that have poor land, to come here forthwith. Tho country is fast settling up, but there is yet room for millions. Come while you can get lands cheap, and those that are good. No mercantile fertilizers used here. If you are not disposed to move come out iu cotton picking season and pick on shares, and you will make more than some men that I know of in the old States make on their farms. This is a fine country for stock, more especially for hogs. Notwithstanding the decline of cot ton, money is plentiful here compared to Georgia. I have not heard that awful and doleful, and yet familiar word to me, (bard times) pronounced | since I have been here. ■ Gorn in some localities off the pub -1 lie roads can be bought at 75 eta. per bushel, bacon 16 cts. per pound, flour from S to 10 dollars barrel. Plenty of grist and suw mills in this section All this country wants is more set tlers, more mechanics and factories, and last but not least, Railroads, which we will soon have, as there arc several now in process of coustructioni and several more will soon be com menced. Society about the same ‘here as in Georgia. I have briefly given you some of my views of Texas. ltesi>cctfully your friend, A. T. Burke. The cotton excess reached 840,645 bales last Friday night, and the total receipts of the cotton year footed up 3,153,517. The estimates now are considerable in excess of four mill ions. Mr. T. E Lawrence, of Augusta, recently drew a prize amounting to eight or nine thousand dollars in the Kentucky Lottery. The defaulting post office clerk, E. A. McLaughlin, who recentlj"clear ed out from Atlanta, was arrested in New York on St. Patrick’s day. An engine run off the Georgia Rail road neaf Union Point, Tuesday, and the engineer, William Oakis, was in stantly killed. Jas. Woodall fell dead at the depot of the Milledgeville and Eatonton Itailroad at Milledgeville, Monday morning, while loading some lumber. Heart disease. Mr. Charles S. Baudot, a popular jeweler and well known citizen of Ma con, commited suicide on Monday by shooting himself with a pistol. 11l health is supposed to have been the cause. A destructive fire occured in Ca milla, Mitchel county, An last Satur day night. The stores of M. Enstein <k Cos., N. T Elliott, llussiek k Bro. and Butler k Heath were burned. The last named firm were insurred in the Liveqwofr and Loudon and Globe Insurance Company. A Mr. Peitzcr and his friend, both citizens of Macon, were assaulted on Sunday night by a party of men, and the fortrtef was very severely beaten. The assault was unprovoked. A benutifHl monument to the mem ory of the late Rev. R. K Porter, has been erected in Atlanta by the ladies of the Central Presbyterian Church. Ex-President Jefferson Davis is now in Montgomery, Ala. where just about ten years ago he was inaugurat ed as President of the ill-fated Confed erate States. Ilis present visit is in the interest of the Carolina Life Insu rance Company, of which he is Pres ident. The Advertiser says that his figure is still erect, and his conver sation as entertaining as ever. The citizens of Montgomery take just pride in manifesting their respect and admiration for a man who, though unfortunate in the great en terprise with which hie name is in dissolubly connected, filled bis high position with marked ability, dignity and patriotism. The Atlanta Sun says: “A party under Lieuls' Bradly and Blacker made an arrest of eight men for illicit distilling in Murray or some adjacent comity, and also eleven stills. On their way returning to the city, four of the prisoners escaped, and an entire team of lour mules was drowned in Talking Hock Creek, in Pickens coun ty. A horse tied to the wagon was ahw drowned. The recent rains which had swollen this stream de ceived the party Bs to Its depth, and they ventured into it with the result stated.” The Dalton Citizen has the follow ing item: Another Dead Man Found Near GR'YSVILLK.—A man named Ken drick ,a shoemaker by trade, was found in Bird’s mill-pond, about Dine miles from Graysville- Kendrick worked at his trade with parties who lived at Graysville. Whether he was killed and thrown into the river or he com mitted suicide, nobody can tell. He had tiecn missed several days before his body was discovered. Two pupils at the Wesleyan Female College ia Georgia came near dying recently from blowing out their gas. It’s curious how temperaments vary. Mr. Wendell Phillips has been blowing out his gas for nigh unto forty years, and he doesn't seem the worse for it. TVorW. That Man is a Damned Tnißr!"
