We learn from the Morning News that there
was a Convention of Saw Mill owners in Sa
vannah on Tuesday last. There was a goodly
number representing ths Mill and lumber
interests in this State, and there were repre
sentatives from Florida, South Carolina,
North Carolina, and several from the North.
Mr. O. G. Parsley, of Wilmington, N. C.,
was chairman of the convention and Mr. H.
H. Colquitt and Mr. T. L. Kinsey of Savan
nah, were Secretaries.
while bis bat remained floating on the sur
face.
It was a sad sight. There he bad met with
death in a shocking manner. It appears that
he had attempted to climb- a small tree, and
had grasped a limb which broke, throwing
him backward into the water. By:; some
means his foot had been caught between ji .
couple of limbs, which, of course, kept his-
body downward.
Although under water, he evidently made
great struggle to release his foot, as the bark
of the tree was kicked off in many places.
Within two hundred yards of the scene
there lives a freedman, who says during the
night he heard two or’three shouts from e
human being, but that fit ceased suddenly. ‘
i.. . When the,drowned man was found, £h<
' was the same calm, placid expression that
always wore upon his countenance. His eyes
uvere bright, and every feature of the .physi
ognomy was perfectly natural.
The body was discovered about three o’cloolt
on Sunday, and on Monday evening follow
ing was bwied at the family cemetery of Mr.
James Bohannon, fhtlier-in-law of the de.

friends and relatives and the people generally
en the east side of the river.
The last days of the 42nd, Congress wero
spent in passing acts, which, in the minds of
the American people, were almost tantamount
to robbery. We allude to the act increasing
the salaries of officers, of Government, and
members of Congress, and making it retro
active, so that each membeer could receive
about five thousand dollars more than they
were entitlied to justly. Wo are sorry to sec
that this act was voted for by several repre
sentatives from Ga. It is to be hop^d that
these men will never again misrepresent the
people of this State, and thus bo enabled to
make opportunities and pretexts for becom
ing the public pickpockets of the honest tax-
payers'of our commonwealth.

A New Specific For Small Pox.—The New
York Sun says small-pox-afflicted communi
ties will bo pleased to learn that,certain fam
ilies in Huntsville, Alabsyna, during the
prevalence of small pox there, found the tea
of the eimicifuga recemosa, or black snake
root, otherwise known as black pohosli, to be
an efficient preventive of small pox. Dr. G.
B.’Norris stated ,'at a meeting of the Alabama
State Medical Association, that in the fami
lies using the above named root there occur
red no case of small pox, although some were
exposed to the *isense. Dr. Norris vaccina
ted the members, but without effect so long
as they continued to use the black snake root
tea. After ceasing to use the tea lie again
vaccinated them, when the specific effect of
the vaccine virus was produced. The sub
ject is well worthy the attention of the medi
cal profession.

It was announced b7 some of our ex
changes last week tliat Hon. A H. Stephens
had retired from the Atlanta Sun. The Sun,
of the 15th, says that any change in the pro

statement. “We wish it distinctly under

of doing so.”
Cost of Producing Cotton.—The cost of
growing cotton in India is said to be about
six cents per pound, and it can be laid down
at Liverpool at eight and a half eents. In
this country the cost is variously estimated
from nine to fifteen cents per pound, accord
ing to the amount of com and meat bought,
and money borrowed. If India could p o-
duce as. good cotton as America and the
above figures be true, she could drive the
Southern States from the markets.—Col. Sun.
Destructive Fire in Madison.—We learn
that a heavy fire occurred in Madison last
Sunday Morning. The post office square
was destroyed. Loss estimated at $30,000 to
$35,000. This square escaped the heavy fire
a few years ago. The property was owned
by A. G. Foster and Lester Markham. The
loss.on merchandise was light-, and there was
some insurance on the stores. The total loss
is about $12,000. The origin, of the fire is
unknown. The post office was burned, but
the contents were saved.
The “deui!” of the Southern Times and Planter

per this week with the third page turned

it looked both ways at once, then we turned
it over, and the “devilish” thing was still
“bottom upioards” on one side any how. ’ The
Good Templars ought to go there and
“straighten” that “devil,” or he ought to
join a traveling circus, as a first class acro
bat or gymnastic.
Truly the hand of the Almighty seems to
be resting L- ayily upon the people at large.
The mortality throughout the world, during
the last few months, has been fearful. Death
seems indeed “floating upon every passing
breeze and lurking in every flower.” The
bid and the yonng'are passing away in rapid
succession. Scarcely has the bell ceased to
toll the funeral knell of one, ere another
eolem procession- is seen marching to the
tomb. If it ware confined to certain locali
ties then, might science pretend to account
for it.* But in every clime almost throughout
the civilized world, the same fearful fatality
prevails. In one place it is cholera ; in an-
otheAmall pox ; in another meningitis ; in
another pneumonia ; in another something
else, while deaths innumerable and awful are
occurring in every clime, by fire and flood.
Does all this happen by chance ? Is-the voice
of God not heard in all this fearful wail borne
on every betezu ? Let us consider.
Last Week's Colton Figures.
The domestic cotton receipts for the week
ending Friday night, 15th instant, as re
ported by the Financial and Commercial
Chronicle, were 83,433 bales against 82,307
bales last week, 105,528 bales the previous
week and 109,153 bales three weeks since,
making the total receipts since the first of
September, 1872, 2,880,328 bales against
2,342,G13balesfor the same period of 1871-72,
showing an increase since September 1,1872,
of, 637,715 bales.
The receipts at the seven interior cotton
ports for the same time wero 20,429 bales
against 12,011 last year—shipments 16,580
against 17,006—stock on hand 106,878 against
83,113 last year. The Chronicle’s table of
Visible Supply foots up 2,434,669 bales
against 2,510,943—showing a decrease of
76,274 bales in the amount of cotton in sight.
The New York market during the last
woek was a continually declining one. Eold-
ers, says the Chronicle, appear to have con
cluded at last that present rates cannot be |
sustained, and under a pressure to sell
prices have gradually softened. The stock
here is large; money is very close; receipts
continue to be free; European stocks arc
increasing, while Manchester spinners are
working at a loss. These facts havo finally
had their natural influence, and the result
is seen in the daily decline.
From a careful examination of the statis
tics of 209,893 cases, Prof. E. Andrews gives,
in the Chicago Medical Examiner, the follow
ing estimate of the relative danger from dif
ferent anaesthetics :
Sulphuric Ether, 1 death to 23,204 ad
ministrations.
Chloroform, 1 death to 2,72^ administra
tions.
Mixed Chloroform and Ether, 1 death to
5,5SS administrations.
Bi-chloride of Methylene, 1 death to 7,000
administrations.
Nitrocs Oxide, no Deaths in 75,000 ad
ministrations. Dental Cosmos.
Dr. J. IV. Cooley will be in this county
with one of the Nitrous Oxide Gas appara
tuses with which be lias bad much experi

the 1st of April, and will give furthur no
tice of his arrival in Sandersville.

Horrible Death.
VVe learn from the Hawkinsville Dispatch
that Mr. Billy Bozeman of Pulaski county,
was drowned a few days ago. We take from
theabove named paper the following partic
ulars :
He spent the day in town, and in the eve
ning, instead of returning home with Mr.
Evans, he procured a bateau and concluded
to go down the river until be reached a land
ing opposite his place. He failed to reach
home Saturday night, and his family became
alarmed. Mr. John W. Bohannon, a brother-
in-law, came‘to Hawkinsville early Sunday
morning, and reported Mr. Bozeman’s unac
countable absence from home. L. C. Ryan,
Needham Jelks, Frank and Charley Bozeman,
and other relatives and friends proceeded
immediately in search of the missing man.
By land it is six.miles to Mr. Bozeman’s
place, and probably twice that distance by
water. The party in search of him arrived
at the landing and found that Mr. Bozeman
had reached there safely, and had tied his
bateau, placed the paddle in proper position
and had gone in the direction of home, which
was a half mile from the river.
The stream was somewhat swollen, and th,e
swamp contained water in lagoons and low
places, but there yas a direct path home.
He took the path, as the party discovered by
his tracks, but on reaching a slough he found
it too deep to cross, and retraced his steps.
He was then tracked in a different route,
which he occasionally traveled to and from
the river when tending to fish lines. • They
traced him to anoint nearly out of the swamp,
where there was running water when the
river is higher than usual.
Here the unfortunate man was found—with
one foot hung in the fo A of a small tree,
and his i^ad and body hanging under water,
Editors of the Herald:—Sirs. I noticod
in your columns of the 28th of February,
a statement made by Mr. Joel Coney,
which is in perfect accord with Romo simple
mathamematical truths, and which betrayod
in Mr. Coney, a very exact discrimination, a
very acute and accurate observation; that
“a field, traversed by furrows dividing it into
diamonds,” (each of which is known by the
geometrical name of rhombus) “will yield
more abundantly, than when divided into
squares.”,-
I noticed also, an inquiry made by Mr. n,
respecting the cause of this ; (a cironmstance
authorizing me to offer to your columns, for
publication, a brief elucidation.) The cause
would seem paipablo to any one, possessing
even a sciolous tincture of geometrical learn
ing, which I will explain below ns well as
possible, in the short space allotted by pro
priety, to this subject as follows : Whether
the land be divided into squares, or rhom
buses, the width of the rows remain the same;
hence a square and a rhombus have equal
bases, and equal altitudes, and are therefore
equivalent, or contain the same area, conse
quently, there are as many squares as there
would be rhombuses ; and since each square
or each rhombus affords one hill, there will*
be as many hills in a field of squares, as.
there would be in a field of rhombuses. No
advantage seen yet. But since the purpen-
dicular of each rhombus, is eqnal to the side
of the square, the oblique side of the rhom
bus, is greater than the square. But the side
of the square, is the distance between the
bills, in a field of squares, and the oblique
side of the rhombus, is the distance between
the hills, in a field of rhombues, hence the
hills arc farther apart in a field of rhombuses
than in a field of squares, and it. is to this,
remoter distance, to which the more abundant
yield is mainly attributable

The Currency Balance.—The currency
balance in the treasury continues to decline,
under the depleting influences of the appro
priation, pension fund and. numerous relief
acts passed by Congress. Within three days
-the currency balance has decreased over
$1,000,000, and the legal tenders outstanding
increased to a similar amount In meeting
the “immediate demands” upon him the Sec
retary of the Treasury has been obliged to
draw upon the legal tender reserve fund, but
it is not anticipated that there will be any
very large draft on that resource. The
amount so far taken from the reserve fund
for immediate purposes is $1,550,000, which,
curiously enough, is almost exactly the
amount of the extra pay for two years which
Congress voted for itself at the close of the
session. The Secretary expects, it is under
stood, to draw further on his reserve, but
says he believes two millions will cover all
such drafts that are to be made, and that the
regular currency receipts will soon replace
that amount after the rush subsides.—Balti

Died in Washington Count}', February 7th, ;
1873, Henry Wood aged 75 years 11 months ;
and 14 days. He was born in North Carolina, j
February 17th. 1797, and during his infancy ;
was brought to Washington County Ga. Here j
lie gTew to manhood, here he began, single |
handed, life's warfare, here he married the j
faithful wife, who followed him through the j
changes of middle age, of old age, and who {
followed him to his grave. Being a man of
unusual natural endowments, and always
pursuing a course consistent with the strictest
integrity, he, early in life, took a high posi
tion as a citizen, and maintained it with all
classes, to his death. In July 1827, ho joined
the Methodist church, and for 45 years re
mained faithful to its ordinance. He was a
zealous, unflinching Christian and shrank
from no labor that was required of him in
his Master’s vineyard.
Five years ago, while speaking of the dis
eases and infirmities incident to age, he said:
“I know that the machinery of .my system is
nearly worn out, I cannot reasonably, ex
pect to live long, hence I have arranged my
temporal affairs, so as to avoid difficulties
over my effects after my de th, and am patient
ly waiting for my Master’s summons. ” A few
weeks before bis death, when disease had
prostrated him, when his friends had no hope
of his recover/, in speaking of the same sub
ject, he said : “I am perfectly satisfied that
my way is clear, but I would love to have
some brighter manifestations of my accepta
tion.” This is his own testimony, he bore
the same to his death. He had no fear of
death, and the manner in which he met it,
shows that he had that “brighter manifesta
tion” before he fell asieep. He passed away
without seeming to feel the sting of death.

Mr. Josiah J. Everitt, was bom in Bul
lock County, Ga. November, 10th, 1806, and
died at his residence in Thomas County, of
Pneumonia, February, 26th, 1873. If it be
true that death loves a shining mark, that he
glories in the death of the good, hero his
triumph was completed. For years, a con
sistent, devoted and useful member of the
Primitive Baptist church, he loved the house
of God, and was never absent from his place,
unless providentially hindered; his hospita
ble doors were ever open to ministers of all
denominations. He was warm in.his friend
ship, forgiving in his disposition, with a tem
perament which bore rp under misfortune and
in the midst of darkness, and gloom, looked
on the bright side of life. Hifl council was
sought by all. Seldom indeed, is the death
of one more universally beloved, recorded;
generous almost to a fault, the humble appli
cant for charity, was never turned from his
door unaided. But those hands so willing
to obey the dictates of a generous, feeling
heart, are now laid power! ess"in the grave;
bow mysterious, to us, that he who was most
needed should be taken. And the once hap
py home, is now shrouded in gloom, and the
lone wife, and children are bowed down with
a grief which none but those similarly afflic
ted can feel. But we moiim not as those
that have no hope; he seemed perfectly aon-
cious of his dessolution, and when asked if
he feared death, replied : “Oh! no, it is all
right, the hour of my departure is at hand.
Dear Jesus, blessed be his holy name.” And
when he saw his beloved wife weeping by his
bed side, he turned bis eyes away and sweet
ly said: “Weep not for me, O, no weep not
lor me.” Who cun tell the amount of satis
faction and gratitude we experienced? we felt
that we were in the very presence of God,
that God had accepted our beloved ono, and
that he was happily reunited with all the
loved ones that had gone before, and are
waiting the glorious day when the dear ones
left behind may meet on the other shore
where parting and pain are unknown. He
is dead but the widow fed by his bounty,, the
orphan clothed and nurtured by his kind
ness will not forget him.
“.And the night dew that falls, though in si
lence it weeps,
Shall brighten with virtue the grave where he
sleeps,
And the tear that we shed, though in silence
it rolls;
Shall long keep his memory green in our
souls.”
His funeral was preached at his residence
on Thursday, after which his remains were
borne to tliefamily graveyard, amid a crowd
of sympathizing friends, and neighbors.
“Then labour hopes abound,
And every tear be dry,
He’s gone to where true joy is found
To fairer worlds on high. ”
