J. H. MARTIN, r ; (| w if .j Principal. m m »w ■ ■ Not Altooethkk a FAn.URK.—Not H itbstanding last Saturday was a wet Hiy for fishing, the fishing party nt Foun- H in’s Mills was well attended by the peo ■ e of the neighborhood. A good sized Helcgaticn from Hawkinsville was also H present. The party had a good dinner, Hud by the energy and good luck of old H ncle Tommy Dewitt, who “ w»( bobbing Hmmad," plcanty fish were booked. Cottoji Blooms. —The first cotton looms wc have seen this season were om the farm of Mr. Georgo Cornwall, subscriber of the Dispatch, living about gclvc Miles South of Valdcsta. They rerc received through mail by Judge J. J. parroev, from whom we have obtained lem. If any of our planting friends in his section have given up all hope of ceing blooms this year, they may call nd take a last lingering look at the ones tow in our possession. Heavy Rain.—Mr. Green W. Bateman, ow in his fifty-ninth year, assures us hat during his entire life he does not re uember to hive seen as heavy rain ns hat which fell in his neighborhood on ast Sunday evening. Mule Killed.—During a heavy storm one evening last week, a frecdsnan upon the plantation of Mr. Guv Baskin had Ids mule fatally injured from the falling of a tr#-;, and hinuelf seriously wounded. Violent Wind and llah. Stohm On Tuesday evening of last week the lower part of this coupty was visited by a tremendous storm, accompanied with large hail.* Trees were felled in great numbers on newly cleared lands, and a few corn fields were vastly injured by the hail. Wrong Infbrrscb —Relative to the large Irish potato contributed last week to our vegetable museum, byD. G. Fleming, wc were so inconsiderate as to remark that it was quite as large as some editor’s head we knew of. By the light of Ids shining head and smiling countenance, Harris, of the Savannah News, infers the remark was intended for the venerable Mr. Shrop ■liire, local editor of the Telegraph. Now, Man apology is required, wc will say that if Harris knew what a reverence we have for bald-headed men, he never would have tnfered what he did. It was part of our raising to manifest esteem and veneration for men with bald-heads. Country |>eda gogues have great tact for impressing these fkets upon the youthfal mind. Cool Trratmknt.—lt is seldom our province to notice such an occurrence, but everything transpiring in this community mnst be printed. A few evening* ago Mr. Willi* called at our office, and requested that we accompany him to his store on Jackson street, to which request we readily responded. Arriving there, Wm. M. Oli ver, Esq., assumed the right of presiding officer, and directed that each man present proceed to lay in a stock of ice lemonade. The order was complied witli promptly. Lemonade is a good (frfnk ami good people love to drink it. It keeps the head level as well-as cool Rehash.—According to an article In a recent issue Os tire Griffip. Star, Mr; Harris, of the Savannah News, ts the wittiest edi tor in the State. That this important fact may be established beyond controversion, we print the following Items taken from onr last week’s paper and served up with new sauce: The holder of the prise will please for ward It to Mr. Lovett Hsrrel, at Hawkins ville. He comes forward with oats seven feet high. Wool has advanced to thirty-five cents (ejeax of cockle-burn) in IlawkinsTille, and the sulfrage-slingen are lying low. The Hawkinsville Dispatch, in noticing m Irish potato, says: It is nearly as big as some editor's head we wot of” Why can’t tteoe editors let Shropshire alone ? Roasttng Ears.

The Sheriff.of .Ua&flolph county haring written tod *ti «h.rtt of this county -ft>r intelligence regarding a man who bad re cently escaped from the Cuthbert jail, an answer 1 was M jßnthy telegraph . that a Wronger hmrVreivisf in Hawklnsvaie par- RMly answering to descriptions given. The Sheriff of Randolph came on imme diately, arriving here Tuesday night,-but found on Ms arrival that the man held in custody was hot the man he sought. Many lead tp tije,belief that thejonan her? was” the riot one. He ac knowledged having been In Cuilibcrt, but stated that ft waa more than a year ago. He gives his name as (Hilliard, and says he is a native <ff Ireland, but Has lived many years in ' He once be longed to the navy of Great,Brittain, but deserted on the coast of South America and joined the American army. Ho says ho has been in every county in Georgia, and every town of any importance. He passed through Hawkinsville sixteen years ago.. The old gentleman is like most of ,his countrymenj-spends his earnings free and takes the world easy. But Jsuch a life is not desirable. Decrepitude, without Cro from friends or ’relations, renders life Lrtnililit ' ' • A Clean Remrd. In tlrfs cominunity instances are so rare of a man “living at home and boarding at the Kie house" that it will never do to let uncle lmyMatthews slip our notice. He slates that lie bus.lived and farmed in Georgia for thirty-nine years, and during this long period has never bought but sixteen bush els of corn, and has often sold many times that number of bushels. John Polhlll will please give way and let Mr. Matthews go head. Tlic Garden Thief Caught. Allen Fuller, a freedman, was arrested last Sunday morning by Marshal Dykes and Daniel Rhodes, and lodged in jail to await trial before the Mayor on Monday morning. Between midnight and day oil Saturday night, Allen employed himself ia exterminating the cut-worm tribe in Mr. Rhodes’ garden, and in payment for his services, lie took a bag of Irish jiolatocs and all the squashes and cabbages he could furnish transportation for to liis own domi cil. Daniel awoke next morning, and when he beheld his garden, lie was more wrntliy than Daniel was in tho lion’s den. Fuller was accordingly arrested, confessed the theft, and delivered his vegetable booty, nis Honor, the Mayor, imposed a right healthy fine, and now the thief luxuriates in the crab grass on a cotton plantation. He lias been a terror to all the gardens in the upper part of town. His raids were frequent nml heavy. The said Allen Fuller is a notoriously mean negro, if half he true Hint is told of him. In Wlleox county there are two indictments against him for theft. Much trilling characters should not l>c allowed to live within the limits or vicinity of the town. Bain and Alligators.—Mr. Wm. 11. nendley informs us that the whole face of the earth is atio.it to lie washed away in Ids neighborhood. Every sink throughout ids plantation ia filled with water. Bottoms, which lie cultivated last year are now sub. merged and inhabited liy alligators. A few evenings ago he killed one three feet long, while making its way from one basin to another. He gives gloomy account* of the crops, and thinks if the heavy rains continue tho crops will be an utter failure —whicli is very near the case anyhow. n ides, II ides. —McCortn ick &Oi i ver wisli to buy all the hides in this part of Georgia. Now is a good time to skin cows while their hides slip easy. McCormick & Oliver are the men. Fiuend Woods:— A trip through a portion of Houston coun ty convinced ine that the citizens of that section through which I passed were wide awake as to the necessities of the inner man. At least two thirds of the land in cultivation is plnnted in com and potatoes, and they both look to be in a healthy and growing condition. If the seasons prove at ail fa vorable, the majority of these fanners will have corn to sell next year. The cotton crop is small and grassy. Some cotton fields have lieen deserted (after having been planted) owing to the wet weather and the present system of free labor. In pass ing a plantation not many miles from the Dempsy Brown old place, I found a friend or mine in the suds, but who had not yet reached the point of desperation. IJe was having his potato patch, which was—(well grassy don’t fill the bill)—moved to a place where grass did not so much abound, and lie himself was out hunting uncle Jimmie Marehman to cither hire or borrow his geese as a last resort to clean his cotton of grass. I hope my good friend succeeded in finding nncle Jimmie and procuring the geese on some terms, for if he don’t need them then I’m no judge of grass. Yours respectfully, N i if ROD. The Macon Telegraph says: The Governor of North Carolina has made requisition upon the Sheriff of Bibb county for tho person of one W. P. Stanley, alias D. TV. Granger, who is now in the city jail awaiting his trial to answer a charge of having conspired with others .to rob the Southern Express office of this city.

Space is valuable in a newspaper, and it is therefore proposed in this advertisement to condense a variety of iacts, important to the public, into a small compass. Those facts refer to Hostctter’s Stomach Bitters— what that celebrated medicine is, and what it will do. In the first place, then, the arti cle is a stimulant, tonic and alterative, con sisting of a combination of an absolutely pure spiritous agent with the most valua ble medicinal vegetable substances that Botanic research lias placed at the dis|iosal of the chemist and the physician. These Ingredients arc compounded with great care, and in such proportions as to pro duce a preparation which invigorates with out exicting the general system, and tones, regulates and controls the stomach, the bowels, the liver, and the minor secretive organs. What this great restorative will do must be gathered from what it has done. The case of dyspepsia, or any other form of indigestion, in which it has been persistent ly administered without effecting a radical cure, is yet to be heard from, and the same niay be said of bilious disorders, intermit , tent fever, nervous affections, general de bility, constipation, sick headache, mental disabilities to which the feeble are so suli ject It parities all the fluids of the body, including the Mood, and the gentle stimu lus which it imparts to the nervous system is not succeeded by the slightest reaction. This is a chapter offsets which readers, for their ewasakea, should mark and reman tec. janel—lm Indians In Florida, Tfeffre ore still about ami fifty Seminole Indians. in Flori da. The Rev. Dr. Collier, a Mother, dist Missionary among them, reports that they have made some progress in the arts of civilizatiort. They have a correct though limited idea of the Creator, and of a future state, and they have a Sabbath which is ob> Servrd os a day of rest. The men dress very poorly. The women have calico skirts reaching from the waist to the ground, then a sack meeting the slrirt, buttoning in front and com pletely veiling the person. They also wear suspended from their necks rolls of variegated glass beads weigh ing from three to five pounds, anil from one to three rows of silver plates adorn the breast of each.

For the appr thcnslon of Enos Tnf • tie, a tall man, about fifty years of age, has considerable money and high forehead, long face and lantern jawed man, a bad man with a fist like a giant, and has often beat me. and I want him to end his days in the penitentiary where ho belongs and he wears a gray coat with a very large mouth, and one blue eye, and oue blind blue eye, and hideous look ing man, and now living with the seventh woman, and me having one child to him, and he has gone off, and I want him brought slap up in the law with blue pants. lie ought to be arrested, and has a hundred dollars of my money, and a bald-headed rascal, full of flattery and conceit, and she is a bad woman, and her little girls call him “ papa,” and is called Eliza Jane Tills, and a boy blind of one eye, and lie is not a man who has got any too much sense, nor her. And he stole one hundred dollars from me nml some of my gold and silver, and he enght to be caught, and I will never live with him again, no, never, he is a disgrace, and J would like to have him caught up nnd compelled to maintain me and his child, ns I am his lawful weded wife, and have the certificate of marriage in my posses sion.
