Drowned. — We learn that the
body of a drowned man was found
in Long’s mill-pond at Jefferson on
Wednesday evening last. It was
ascertained, upon inquiry, to be
the body of Moses Rucker, of
Banks County, who had been mis
sing about a week. An inquest
was held on Thursday—the ver
diet of the jury being, “Drowned
from intoxication.”— Watchman
Mrs. Judge Montgomery was
injured by a fall of some twenty
feet at the Kimball House, Atlanta,
yesterday. She went to the eleva
tor, intending lo go up to her
room, and finding the door op« n,
presumed the elevator was there:
unfortunately such was not the
case, and stepping through she
fell some fifteen feet into the base*
inent on some iron railing, break
ing her collar bone, one rib, one of
her wrists, and one finder. The
door had been improperly lets
open.— Enterprise.

Honor Judge Rice entered upon

satisfied, dispatch business as rap
idly as possible. Having served
as Judge of the Blue Ridge Cir

We miss the familiar face of
Judge Davis, who faithfully serv

Horribi.c Accident. —One of the
most horrible railroad accidents we
ever heard of occurred on the
State Road, three miles below this
place, on the night of the 29th
A gentleman from Indianapolis,
named W. L. Wiley, a pa-seuger
on the 8 o’clock train, fell from the
cars in passing, it is supposed,
from one coach to another, and
was instantly killed. His body
was brought to this place during '
the n>ght by an up fright train. It
was horribly mangled, several
trains having passed over it before
it was discovered. A coroner’s
inquest was held upon the body at
this place, and the verdict of the
jury was that “the deceased came
to his death by falling from the
cars while passing from one car to
the other." —Dalton Citizen.
liie Georgia Fence Law. —The
last Legislature of Georgia | assid
an act uuder which the farmers ol
any county who desire it may gel
rid ol roving stock and of fencing
lands. Ihe act may be found oh
pages o 4 35 and 36 of the laws of
1872, and is entitled ‘‘An act ielat
ing to fences and stock and for
the protection of crops.” I his act
declares the boundary line of
every lot of land a lawful fence,
and provides for the impounding
of all roving stock which may para
the. eon, and collection es damages
from its owners in each and every
county, after the following pro
ceedings have Lbcen had, which
shall make the law operative in
that coi-nty: Fifty f.eelioldc»rs shall
petition the Ordinary for the bene
fit of the act. Upon the receipt
of the petition the Ordinary is
required to make the fact known
by posting or advertising for forty
days. If, at the end of that time, a
counter petition—signed by fifty
reeliolders, shall be filed in liis
uiffice, the Ordinary shall proceed
no farther. But if no such coun
ter petion is filed, or if filed, is met
by another petition signed by
twenty five freeholders, the Oidi
nary shall proceed to order an
election in such county, on the
first Monday in July following, in
which the question of “Fence” or
“No l eiiCe” shall be submitted to
tiie lawful voters of the County,
and if the majority shall decline
for “No Fence,” the act shall take
effect in such county within six
months thereafter.
Our New Senator. —The Atlanta
correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial—H. V. RedGld- writes
that paper the following descrip
tion of Senator John B. Gordon :
“General Gordon has nothing of
the Stepheus in his composition.
He is as different as white is from
black. He is young, ardent, stout,
eloquent, full of nerve, energy',
vim. and push ; a brilliant orator,
a dashing military officer; and a
man who never knew fear. In the
Southern army be won the title of
the bravest of the brave. He is
forty years (dd, well built, about
medium height, and rather slender,
and would be handsome if a piece
of bombshell bad not made an ugly
gash in his cheek. He was in all
the battles lie could by any pos
sibility get into, and bears scars
all over his body, this gives him

tains, and lieutenants who make up

Treatment of Meningctis.
Messrs Editors: Being in daily
r> c,-ipt of letters from ihisand adjoin
-1 g -tales, requesting a statement of
ay lie.itmenl in the disease known
a- “Cerobro Spinal Meningitis," not
Having the time to devola to answer
those communications, 1 have thought
pr<>| e to give a synoptical statement
of my treatment through the secular
pi ess of this city, thereby enabling
tl e profession to employ the treat
ment during the present endemic in
this and adjoining States, which I
would not be able to communicate
through the medical press in time for
the present season. Another reason
is that numerous physicians take no
medical periodical. The following
treatment should not be employed by
any one but a skillful physician as to
such this communication is addressed:
to the medical profession.
The following treatment which has
been employed by me since the win
ter of 1862-63, with uniform success
in all cases where the treatment has
been instituted within twenty-four
Imuis after the development of the
prominent symptoms: In the first
place discard all ideas of this disease
being a,i inflammatory affection of the
brain and spinal cord, ‘saturate a
flannel cloth (folded several times)
with spirits of turpentine. Apply
this along the whole course of the
sp'ne, pass over this after the ordi
nary mode of ironing, a common sad
or smoothing iron well heated. Con
tinue this fur ten or fifteen minutes
until you have well stimulated the
spine. In the meantime give quinine
in heroic doses, to he repeated every
two or three hours until all symp
toms are overcome. Follow each
dose of quinine with a heroic dose of
bromide of potassium combined in
solution wi h an ordinary dose of
solid extract Hyoscyamus The ob
ject of the bromide is to control
reflex action and the doses should he
regulated according to the head and
spinal symptoms, as this is depend
ant on electro monic changes in the
periphery of the nerves, from this the
action or the modus operandi of the
quinine add bromide will be readily
understood by the intelligent physi
cians under no circumstances use a
fly blister or opiates in the outset of
this disease avoid all applicatit>ns to
head and spine.
When constipation exists, which is
generally the case, use large do-ms of
calomel every three hours until the
bowels act freely. Physicians can
rely on this treatment when instituted
in time. J. J. Knott, M , D.
