The citizens are exhausted in the vain effort to extinguish the conflagration. Quite a distinctive fire occurred in Macon on the morning of the 18th inst., destroying some twenty-five buildings situated, on Cot ton Avenue, between Poplar and Plum streets. The Macon Enterprise has changed hands this week. Messrs. Lines & Wing sold out to Mr. H. C. Stevenson, and Bridges W. Smith, a former partner with them, in the JSnierprhe. Washington, Maroh 16.—Every business house in Laurenceburg, Kentucky, except a tin shop was burned to-day, including a tavern and bank.

Sandersville. On Sunday night last a man named Bel cher, was found dead at Millen, near the C. R. R. track.

Versailles, March 18. ; —The financial bud get shows a gratifying condition of affairs. Half of the sum due German exactions is in. the treasury. No loan is required to com plete payment of the war indemnity at the dates designated in the recent convention. Vive la France. 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. ceased. The funeral was largely aftended by 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. Shame on them! 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.

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 must be awfully crosseyed, or else he has been drinking some terribly mean whisky, or else be was standing on his bead when be ‘ ‘made up” bis last paper. He sent ns a pa per this week with the third page turned “heels upward”; we turned it crosswise, then 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.

Cooley will be in this county with one of the Nitrous Oxide Gas appara tuses with which be lias bad much experi ence and will administer the Gas to those wishing teeth extracted without a particle of pain. Dr. C., expects to be at No 14 on the 1st of April, and will give furthur no tice of his arrival in Sandersville. Mar. 21, 1673—2t 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 Yours respectfully, B. H. BLACKSHEAR. Near Dublin, Ga. March, 2nd, 1873. 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 more Sun.

Parents. 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. Southern Christian Advocate please copy. 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. ” ONE WHO LOVED HIM.
