The District Conference of the M.
E. Church, South, assembled at Hajriie-
ville on Thursday morning, July 26th,
and closed Saturday evening. Moot
of the members and visitors, however,
remained over Sunday to attend the
religious services of the day.
There were seventy-five or eighty
delegates present from all parts of the
District, and we never saw a more in
telligent, earnest set of men at work in
any cause. The district extends from
the Oconee on the east to Flint river
on the west, and embraces the counties
of Bibb, Houston, Crawford, Dooly,
Pulaski, Twiggs, Wilkinson, and that
portion of-Macon east of Flint river. The
session was very harmonious; the dis
cussions were carried, on with consid
erable spirit and perfect good wilL—
Full reports were made of the state of
the church, its progress, numbers, fi
nances, and all other topics of interest
connected with it." As a member of
the church, we were much gratified
that the reports generally were favora
ble and encouraging. v' ,.; ;,’ /,-.
The religious services which were
held every day at 11 o'clock a. m. and
8 p. M. were intersting in the extreme.
Several -were converted, and many a
church-member-whose zeal hacf grbwn
cold, mode a fresh ’start'arid solemnly
pledged himself anew to the perfor
mance of duties long neglected. Sun
day night closed with an old-fashioned
Methodist camp-meeting scene. It
was not, however, strictly a Methodist
meeting, for the Baptist brethren -got
mixed up with it and were borne
along on the tide of rejoicing, that
sWept like a flood over the dense con
gregation. We doubt not all felt that
it was “good to be there,” and went
away with renewed resolution to better
exemplify in the future the doctrines of
their ^profession.
The hospitality of the Hayneville
people was unbounded. They threw
open the doors of their houses and
hearts, .and both proved' amply large
enough to receive all who came as
visitors. We heard hut one sentiment
expressed bn this snhjeot, and that was
-of most hearty gratitude towards our.
entertainers. Personally, we thank
most cordially those Mends whose hos
pitality we enjoyed, and also those
whose hospitality we didn’t enjoy—for
we were so crowded with invitations
that we could not accept half‘of them.
The District- Conference will be held
next year at Fort Valley.

On last .Friday, July 28tli, James
Toombs, who was convicted of mnrder, Ash, formerly of Savannah, who, before
at; the last term of/Honston Superior
Court, paid the penalty of his. crimes
on the gallows. ?■ It was a day .of jubi
lee for. the negroes. : They came from
all parts of the county, and were flock
ing into town before snnrise. At an
early hour all the streets were crowd
ed with. them. There were estimated
to be about. 2,000. A great many
of them repaired immediately to the
jail; nnd they thronged around it sc
tliiek that a large police force was or
ganized by the Sheriff, nnd a passage
was literally forced through the crowd,
when the prisoner ..was brought out.
At- the gallows Toombs made a. short
speech. Ho advised the negroes to
go homo, thro w away all their weapons,
nnd live at peace with the whites.—
There was no use attempting violence
against the latter; they were intended
to govern and there was no use in re
sisting. He. was., fur example 'of .The
sad end to which a-man would be
brought by the use of fire-arms.
Such was the substance of Ms re
marks. Beside* this lie expressed bis
nssnrance-tliat lie was going to heaven
as so >n as to died. If that were true/
why. should he regret the event'that:
brought him to this end? If a mur
derer, when hanged for his . crime, can
go straight to heaven, is not murder a
thing to he desired? Ought we not
use murder as a means of salvation?—
This may be called carrying things to an
extreme; but we .doubt mot the minds
of his hearers were impressed with the’
idea that a man would be saved
no matter what crime he had commit
ted, and, therefore crime lost a . great
deal of its heinonsness. The- tendency
.of public executions is to rob . crime
apparently of its wickeclnesss and pun
ishment of its terrors. We are sure
it- had that effect on the crowd that
witnessed th'e hanging of Toombs, and
therefore we are of the opinion that
these executions should be private.

' A shocking cose of poisoning in Eff

annah News, of Tuesday—the victims
being three , little children, and the
poisoner their mother, a Mrs. John H
committing the dreadful deed, had
swallowed some of the-strychnine with
which she murdered tier children.
Mrs.- A. has been sfightiy deranged- for
sometime, but nothing serious was
apprehended, her husband keeping
strict watch over her. The strychnine
used was locked up in an old bureau
drawer, aud the key hidden in a place,
as hethongbt least likely to be found
byihiswife, no other person knowing
of the hiding place. We quote as
follows from lhe Nawa’.accountr
About three o’ciock yesterday morn

of two of the children, and entering

and resisted until her cries woke her fa ;
ther nnd his friend, both o£ whom
feeling alarmed, asked what she was
doing.:; She replied, “only giving the
children a little powder, I am afraid I
have not given them enough.” They
begged and entrfeated .her to tell - them’
what she had given them—Mr. Ash
tasting the powder-which he discover
ed on the mouth of one of fhwdhDdren,
discovered, that it was quite bitter.
She finally took .him to the, bureau
drawer and showed him the bottle of
strychnine from which she had dosed
herself first and then each one of her
three little ones.. It was but a short
time after this before the mother, a
young woman abont twenty five years
old, and her three interesting little
children, two girls and one boy/ were
lying stiff and cold in the arms of death.
Dyingin rapid succession (one after the
other, the mother, although the first
to take the poison, lived to see her chil
dren all die and then followed them
herself. It is said that, the struggles
of the poor little crejkjares /yere awful,

an irresistible feschiation^ It is to be

conscientiously believe the reformation
for humanity can only be worked by

had arrived, there .were still a few in
credulous persons who doubted that
the miracle of manufacturing- ice on
a hot July day would ever prove to be
an - experiment resulting in the produc

But these doubts have vanished dike

R. H. Brown, at the request'one. of
gave a- brief description of
THE PROCESS OF ICE-MAKING.
The process is based upon-the scien
tific principle that evaportion produces
eold—the more rapid the more intense
the cold. The agent adopted to pro
duce the evaporation is aqua ajtimonia.
This agent is depositea ’in’ah upright,
cylindrical evaporator, some twenty
feet in height; Through this -cylinder
a number of steam pipes pass,: by
ineans of which the ammonia is reduced
to giis, This gasiteen passes into a liqui-
fier, when it is compressed into a liq
uid'state and, passes on, through a
great number of pipes, in various direc
tions, through the great prizing baths.
The ammonia is then returned ' to its-
original condition and deposited- again
in the evaporator, to be again - passed
through all the necessary processes.
The same material being used over anil
over again, there being no' consump
tion, further than results from -tbe
small portion that may 'escape during
the various changes of condition that

During the existence of the present
hot weather cases of srtn stroke are lia
ble to occur, aud as a matter of time
ly suggestions we give the following
directions for the treatment, of 7sun
stroke until medical aid can be ob
tained. i It is from Dr. H^e’s little
worlky.entitled “JKll theDocfoi Gomes,
and.How to Help Him:”
- J3jmstroke is a sndilen prostration
due to long exposure to great heat,
especially when one is much fatigued
or exhausted. It commonly happens
from nndne exposure to the sun’s rays
in slimmer, bail have seen the same
effects produced in a baker from the
great heat of the bake room. It be
gins with ' pain in the head or dizzi
ness, quickty" followed by loss of. con
sciousness and complete prostration.—.
Sometimes, however, the attack is as
sudden as a stroke pf apoplexy; The
head' is often burning hot, the face
dark and swollen, . the breathing labor-'
ed and snoring, and the' extremities-
cold. Take the patient at once tea
cool and shady place, but don’t Cany
him >far to a house or hospital. Loos
en his'clothes thoroughly about his-
neck and waist.; Lay him down with
the head a little raised. Apply wet
cloths to the head; and mustard, or
turpentine to the calves of the legs,
and soles of the feet. Give a little
weak whisky and water if he can swal
low. Meanwhile let. some one go for
the doctor. . You cannot do safely
more than I have said without his ad
vice.—New Fro, '
takes place in. tiie baths mentioned
above. The vast amount of water in
these large/ baths, (two in number),
could .be frozen easily and ..with great
rapidity, but there'would be great dif/
'.Acuity in removing the ice when fro^
It reaches the loftiest, andthe. ^besides it would be left in a
basest natures, those who unselfish: »m, 5s
merchantable condition. This
.was avpided by filluig the hatiis with
strong salt water, upon which cold is
prodneedby the ammoniacal gas. The
temperature of this brine is reduced as
low as. jen degerees above, and at this-
the freezing process progresses rap-
idly.
In the course of these haths 'are a
large number of. apertures, with close
covers, of sufficient capacity to admit
a tin can, and ..about two feet deep.
These cans.are filled withfresh water,
and plunged into .the .salt water. Bath
’ and then left until their contents ore
frozen. When frozen, the cans are
lifted out, and plunged for a moment
in a hot water bath to loosen their con
tents, and then smooth, clear^. bard
frozen cakes of ice are emptied from
them, each one of which weighs-abont
twenty-five pounds. Fonr . of these cans
can he emptied every five jninuteg.
This.is kept up steadily day and night,
as is .designed, which would.i4ake... the
capacity of the machine a. little over
fourteen tons a day. The aim -of the
company, however, is to prodtoce ten
tons of merchantable ice a day. This
can be done with perfect ease .-and
safety.;-- -7 J .-/ - , ■ '7.-; . -

- the ice
is pure, bring made-from
water, and is entirely free from all for
eign tastes. This is probably attrib
uted to the fact that it -has ho taste,
other than' that which is common to
distilledwater. Whenfirst withdrawn
from the molds, the ice is harder than
the natural ice; . and dry . as a rock and.
very brittle, owiiig to the intense cold
by which-it is produced. It is not
quite so nearly fransparent as the Crys
tal lake ice.

from which the ice is manufactored-is
drawn from the Chattahoochee and is
by means. of a distilling apparatus in
the factory. It is as pure as water can
well be made. " /' -

In a harbor upon the grounds, we
saw several blocks of ice which were
regarded as curiosities. Bouquets of
flowers and bunches of evergreens were
frozen in several of them, being entire
ly encased in the ice. In another we
observed a photograph. The compa
ny’s card appeared in several In stiH
another were three catfish,buried en-
! tirely in ice, nowhere touching any sur-
forty-three pounds. It was raised by
W. B. McShaw, on his plantation in
Lee county, Mississippi, picked and
then taken into the parlor of his resi
dence, where "it was carefully, cleaned
of seeds, sand, leaf, bark and other
impurities by the fair hands of Mrs.
and Miss McShaw. It was sent to the
agricultural fair at St. Louis last Octo
ber, and received the • first premium,
$500, for the best bale of short staple
cotton. It was also entered for the
$1,000 prize, sweepstakes, for the best
brie of either long or short staple/ and
won it. It was then presented by Mr.
McSliaw to the Southern Edncational
Society, and by that society sent to
the St. Louis- Com Exchange .for
sale.
It was sold to Mr. D. G. Tuft at
thirty cents per.pound; and. by him
presented again to the same society,
wno sold it at twenty-five cents per
potmd and afterwards for ■thirty-eight
cents. The society once more received it
as a donation;- then raffleditfor $1,000;
sold, if twice after that for pricesThofc
qhdted.:'-and at last , disposed of it to
Messrs. Shyrock & Rowland, of St •
Louis. It was then sent to gladden
the. eyes: of the New York Cotton Ex
change/and was exUbited by the well-
kh own firm of Norton, Slan.ghter &

given above, fifty cents, by Messrs.
Mnim, Son .& Co., brokers, to Mr.
Jonathan Earl, Treasurer of the Nor
folk and New Brunswick Hosiery Com
pany,,at New Brunswick, New Jersey.
Ifeis the intention of that company to
manufacture the. bale, and to ascer
tain if it will not'sm-pass in texture
any cotton goods yet made in America,
Mr. Eaxl has shown considerable sa-
garity, in purchasing tins celebrated
bale of cotton, and it is possible that
the fancy price paid.for*it may stimu
late Southern producers to improve
their methods of cleaning and pack-,
ing until they obtain similar results.—

Dr. R- W. Carr, of Baltimore, says:
I take pleasure in recommending your
Rosadalis as a very powerful alterative.
I have seen it used in two cases with happy
results—one in a case of secondary syphi
lis, in which the pstient pronounced him
self cured after having taken five bottles of
your medicine- The other is a case of
scrofula of long standing, which is rapidly
improving under its use.and the indications
are that the patient will soon recover. I
have carefully examined the formula by
which your Rosadalis is made, and find it
an excellent compound of alterative ingre
dients.
Dr. Sparks, of NicholasviHe, Kentucky,
says he has used Rcsilxlis incases of Scro
fula and Secondary Syphilis with satisfac
tory results—as a cleaner of the Mood, I
know no better remedy. -
