PALMKTiO SHIELD, OSCAR A. CAMUKLL, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR. PALMETTO, GA., AUGUST I, 1873. A CHOLERA SPUING. The cholera having at last If ft Nash villi*, the pt op’eof the :rfS cted city are riidcavoiing to discujiroi the causes which brought the scourge among them. This is a good dc.il like the con duct of the party who locked the Stable door after his hoise had been stolen : l ilt still the investigation may prove of benefit in he future by preventing a return of the epidemic. One of the places which lias been subjected to a searching scrutiny is a fountain known as the “Judge’s Sptiig,” from which a large number of persons procured wa ter for their ablutions and to mix with their whisky—the average Nashvillian never drinks his water neat when such an unpalatable draught can be avoided The contents ol the basin, as revealed by the searching influence ..f a dredge, were varied and unique, and a reca pitulation of the aitioles almost enough to bring back king cholera post-haste. The catalogue embrac s suporaiinuted pock' t-books, j ick knives, diiks, bot tles of hair oil, broken oil lamps, worn out boots, hair pins, and tluee bottles, which bore the cheeiful device of a skull and cross bones and the nxne cheerful legend “Poison." The discov eries have caused a good deal of as te nishment and i quid dismay among the patrons of this spring, and the lesson will probably cause the ; copie to he more careful about their water ;u and less solicitous about their liquor in the future. It will not be considered nt all strange that king cholera held high carnival in the licigiiboilioud ol the Judge’s Spring. The Chmstian Index and Bait.', t, a weekly religions journal pul lished by James P. Harrison & Cos., Atlanta, Georgia, lias recently been placed on our exchange list. It is an eight page paper, neatly printed, and is devoted to Religion, Literature, Correspond ence, Edit'rials, Muikets, Cut rent Notes, and News. We iccommeud it to the public as a choice family nowsp per. A Cartersville lady who wanted some chicken for dinner, can-lit a buxom yellow-pegged hen and ,*ti net k out on ilio block for decapitatin' l . The first blow with (he ax landed with remark dile accuracy just o;i In r left hand. Three fingers, however, and half a thumb were leit her. The hen still attends to her daily duties, and has not been troubled since. Gov. Bard announced some time ago tli it lie would resume llic publication of the Atlanta No v Era about the first of September. Sumqgl may make it a success, but the chatir.es :ie against him, as Georgia, just at this time, is unhealthy for Radio 1 papers. Col. W, G'. 11 ill lias left at this office ,pgwr as laid by the hen, with the shape of a human arm prominently at tached to the shell, as if prepared in marble by a skilful sculptor.— Newnan Herald.

An Essex street man named Roberts wus helping his wife prepare the dinner table on Sunday, as one of the deacons was to dine with them. Roberts took a plate of steak in one hand and the c< flee pot in the other, and had a dish of peas on the arm with the steak. The wind blew the dining-roc ni door partly to as he approached it, and putting out his foot to push it back, the arm with the peas moved out of plumb, and the dish com menced to slide. A cold streak flew up Robert’s spine, and his hair begun to laise, and he felt a sudden sickness at the stomach, but he dodged ahead to save the peas, partly caught them, made a wrong move, lost them again, jibbed at them with the coffee-pot, upset the steak dish, and in springing back to avoid the gravy stepped on the cat that belonged to the family down s'airs, and cuine to the floor in a heap, with the steak and peas and a terrib'y mad cat under him, and an oveifliwing pot of scalding coffee on top of him. Then he bounded up, and stamped on the steak dish, and picked up the other dish and threw it out of the window, and finished that perfoiin ance in time tnhuil the c< flee-pot and the remaining contents after the cat, which was making the very best time do vn the front stairway. The deacon didn’t stay to dinner. Roberts retired to the bed -room with a bottle of sweet oil and a roll of cotton butting, and Mis. Roberts went over to her motnu’s to cry.— Danbury News.
