only its leading merits# With four wings,
two small and two largo, lt can bo converted
into Seven different Plows, all of whioh are
very necessary for the cultivation of dif

feature is durability. A Plow completed
will last a man from two to five years, accord

J. B. MURPHY
RESIDENT DENTIST,
R E8PECTFULLY informs bis friends, and
the public generally, that he continues
the practiceof DENT1STR Y in all its branch
es, and has fitted up an office, over the store
of MeGuiro A Pinson, where he is prepared
to execute alloperations appertaining to Den
tistry, in the most approved manner.
lie would also call the particular attention
of those in want of Artificial Work, to his su
perior style of teeth, set on gold plate; for
beauty, strength and life-like appeaeance,
they are not surpassed. As in impression has
been made that my prices for dental opera
tions are higher than the usual run of Den
tists, I bog leave to tay thatthoy are thesame
as charged by Dentists at Augusta, Macon
and Savannah. For Artificial Work my char
ges are as follows:
Entire Sots Upper and Lower from$l00 to $250
Half Sets, Upper or Lower, from 50 to ISO
Temporary Sots, Upper and Lower, 25 each.
Partial Sots in proportion to the above.
As I am well posted in all thilate improve
ments of the day, I feel confident that I can
meet the wants of all who may need the ser
vices of a Dentist, and if references are want
ed; os to their utility in answering the purpo
ses of nature, I ean give them In abundanoe,
from those who have tested my skill, for the
last fourteen years, in this, and adjoining

had from other stations, its parallax,
and therefore, its truo distance from
the earth, may readily be infeired.”
Professor Bartlett’s theory for the
explanation of these phenomena is
as follows; again wo quote his lan
guage :
“These bodies are of the nature of.
planets, and circulate about the sun in
orbits as unerringly as their larger
brethren. When they and the earth
come simultaneously to those points of
their orbits which are nearest together
the aotioir of tho earth often becomes
superior to that of the sun, and the
small masses are drawn to its surface.
Plunging with enormous velocity into
our atmosphere, these little bodies com
press the air in front and rub against it
with such viplence on tne sides, as to
produce heat enough to fuse, and light
sufficient to illuminate the most refrac
tory and darkest, of substances. The
exterior and molten crust is swept to
the rear by the resisting air; a new sur
face becomes exposed ; this, in its turn,
is fused and carried backward, and so on
till finally the whole traok of the mete
or is strewn with groups of disintegrat
ed and scintillating material.”
As yet we have nothing to indicate
when or where our distinguished visitor
terminated its journey. ^tTwas going
oast at last accounts, and if it went far
enough it probably ended its career in
the ocean. We hope to hear of ho de
predations committed by it on its jour
ney, though we confess 1 that the less of
such “fast company” we have about us
the better we snail be content. Fortu
nately they do not come often, for when
they do come they are apt to do some
thing to moke their visits remember
ed.
It is a well ascertained fact that mas
ses of stone and lumps of iron—for.
aerolites and meteors are the same thing'
differing only in size and density—occa
sionally fall from the upper i$gtohff of.
the atmosphere, and have done fib from
the earliest periods of reoordod history,
often doing incalculable damage. On
the 12th April, 1803, one of these bod
ies fell near the lower L’Argle, in Nor
mandy, and by its explosion scattered
its fragments over an area of thirty
square miles. Four instances are recor
ded of peripft* fr%viinfreen killed by
he descent of suoh bodies. Besides
these more^ solid bodies, others of muoh
loss density made their appearance as
shooting stars, followed by trains of
light. They now and then appear like
great fiery balls traversing the upper
regions of the atmosphere, sometimes
leaving long laminous trains behind
them, sometimes bursting with loud ex
plosion, anti sometimes becoming qui
etly extinct. Among the latter may be
mentioned the refaarkable meteors of
August 1783, whioh traversed the whole
of Europe, from Shetland to Rome,
with a velocity of thirty milee asecond,
at a height of fifty milee above the earth
with a light greatly surpassing that of
the full moonf, ana a diameter of quite
half a mile.
On several ooowions meteors haveap-
peared in astonishing numbers, follow
ing like a shower of rookets; or flakes t •
of enow, illuminating at onoe whole
continents and oceans in both hernia?!
pheres -, and it is remarkable that these \
displays have occurred in the early parts
of November and August. From care-
mi observation made at the extremity
been inferred'that the heights of met
ora at the'irifitant of first appearance
and disappearance vary from sixteen to
one hundred and' forty miles, and their-
relative velocities from eighteen .to thir-
ty-six miles a second. Altitudes and
velocities as great as these indicate an
independehtplanfitary circulation about
the sun. FrbfeAor Bartlett suggests,
as a condition of things not impossible,
that some of those bodies may have
been converted, by the' superior action
of the earth, arising from proximity,
into permanent satellites;; and there
are those who.belleve in .the existence
of at least one of these bodies, whioh
completes its circuit about the earth
in three hours twenty minutes, and at
a mean distance of about five thousand
miles.
The Monster Petrified Tree of Black
Rook-
. The Alta California has the follow
ing In relation to this gigantic pro
duct: •-
Some doubts having been expressed
as to the truth of the discovery said-to
have been recently made in the Black
Rock region, of a petrified tree of some
seven or eight hundred feet in length.
J. E. Stevens, the captain of the late
silver prospecting expedition in . that
region, and who fathered the-won
derful story, writers to the Marys
ville Democrat on the subject. He
says: ...
“Our party, of^35 men, encamped at
the lower end of what we termed the
Little Canon, about three miles from
which we found this famous petrifac
tion, and which is truly a great curiosi
ty and a wonder of the age sufficient to
arouse the. incredulity of those who
passed through the “High Bock Canon”
in 1840; Atashortdistanoefrom this
monster of a former age, it seemed to
us to be a well defined line of drift
wood deposited along the line of high
water mark of some anoieht river whose
bed is now an elevated mountain ridge;
but on oloser inspection we unanimous-
ly pronounoed it one tree, as we found
it distinctly marked from the upturned
roots to Its'forks; and itsrtwo woll defin
ed forks to what was, when standing,
866 feet or 222 suoh steps as a Western
frontiersman takes when. stepping. off
his distance to shdbt at a target, or .any
inan would take in pacing off a tul-nip
patch.
“At about 400 fe^t from the roots tho
tree is divided into two parts, or forks,
about equal in size; and at520 feet from
the root I took off a specimen from one
of these forks„havlng on Its surface at
the time, the outer and inner Bark of
the tree, and which specimen is now. in
the office of Dr. Thompson oh D,.gt.,
between Third and Fourth. From the
curves of the Itftes of growth we esti
mated the diameter or the bronoh from
which it was taken to be from 8 to 12
feet; and this, bear in mind, at a dis
tance of 520 feet, from the root of the
tree, and ohly half the tree at that.—
This estimate may be too high or it may
be too low, but in the height of the
tree we cannot be far at fault in
saying that it measured, when, stan
ding, some revefi or eight hundred feet
in height."
Why do Children Die.
The reason children'' die, says Hall’s
Journal of Health, is because they ore
not taken cJre of. From the day of
their birth they ore etupified with food,
choked with physio, sloshed with water,
suffocated in not rooms, steamed in bed
clothB. So muoh for indoor. When
permited to breathe w -breath of pure
air once a. week in summer, and once
or twice during the colder months, on-
» ’ r the nose is permitted to peer into
aylight. A little later they are sent
out with rio.olbthes at all on the parts
of the body, whioh most needs. protec
tion. Baro legs, bare arms, bare necks,
girted middles, with an inverted .um
brella to oolleot the air, and chill the
other part of the body. A stout strong
man goes out in,.»■ ooldday with gloves
c doubled soled boots, with cork
between and rubbers over. The,same
day, a ohild of three years old, anin-
fant of flesh and blood, and hone- and

tapster,' cotton nocks, logs uncovered
to ihe ikxfefes^xMbk, bare~-ah exposure
whioh, wpuld disable the nurso, kill the
mother outright, and make the father
an invalid for WCOkB. And why ? To
harden them to a mode of dress which

To aooustom the|iw4ea»OBftre,w W»h a
down years latter would be considered
downright foolery. To raise children
thus for tlio slaughter pen, and lay it to
the Lora, is too bod . We don’t- think
the Almlght had ahy hand in.it. And
to draw comfort from the presumption
that lie had ony agency in the death of
the child,' is a presumption
fanation.
