JimteviUc lletald. FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 11, 1873. The commencement of the Virginia Mili tary Institute took place on the Fourth. The laying of the new cable of 1873 was finished at Heart’s Content on the Fourth. The residence of Mr. James Gardiner •near Sparta, was burned last week. Small-pox is reported to be on the planta tion of Judge Bothwell in Jefferson county. Wilson,a member of Congress from Ore gon, is dead. jjon. Joshua Hill has our thanks for pub lic Documents sent to us lately. The cholera is still raging in Chattanooga, Sixteen deaths occurred from the disease there on the 3rd, inst. Twenty-five or thirty small fires occurred in New -York on the Fourth, with damages ranging'from $50 to $1000. The first bale of cotton rasied this year on the Rio Grande, appeared in Brownsville, Texas on last Thursday the 3rd, inst. Beast Butler made an electioneering speech on the Fourth, to -a large temperance conven tion, at Farmingham, Mass. The Macon &'Brunswick Railroad has been seized by Gov. Smith, for its liabilities to the State. •Two children aged four and nine were drowned while bathing near Baltimore on Tuesday last. Thirty-one accidents happened to persons from the careless use of‘firearms in New- York.city on the Fourth of July. Nearly as many also occurred in Brooklyn. A terrible storm passed over Ohio and In diana a few days ago, doing considerable damage to property, and killing a number of persons. It is reported that the recent heavy rains and storms have greatly damaged the wes tern crops. The Missouri river is higher than was ever known before. The Patrons of Husbandry celebrated the Fourth in Illinois, by the farmers assembling nt-scveral of the’cities and towns, and i ten- vug to speeches on the farmer’s movement ^ and the railroad question. Mr.^Charles W. Kilpatrick, of Bibb county, was the successful contestant in the recent •competitive examination for admission to the United States Military Academy at West Point, N. Y. The late change in the Central Railroad Schedule is rather unfavorable-tor us in this section. 6 ur mail from Savannah and Au gusta is nearly a day later in getting to us at this place, than it was before the change took place. A young man and young lady went over the Niagara Falls on the Fourth. They were taking a boat ride on the river above the Falls, the boat was drawn into the current, Mid they could not extricateit. They were to be married the. next day. Mr. F. R. Fildes, has sold'the'Quitman Ban ner to Messrs. F. A. White and H. M. McIn tosh. Mr. Befinett will take the position of editor on the paper. The retiring proprietor and editor, and the new ones have our best wisher for their success. Frank H. Walworth,. the young man who killed his father lately in New York, has been tried, and found guilty of murder in the second degree.’ 'He was sentenced to Sing Sing penitentiary 'lor life. He js nineteen vears old. Since the new postal law went into effect, 18,000 newspapers have stopped passing through the New York Post Office alone. Then who dare say this law does not operate against the general dissemination of news and thereby affects the interest of the people. On the fourth inst, a draft of -the new con stitution .for Spain was submitted to the Cortes, by the committee appointed to draw up the mcasuTe. It provides that the Presi dent of the Republic must have been born on Spanish territory, and be twenty years of age.

The Savannah Neics of the 24th ult., is pleased to pay us the following compliment. We appreciate it doubly, coming from the high source it does : Personal.—We had the pleasure of a call yesterday from Robert L. Rodgers Esq., of the Sandersville Herald, one of the best weeklies in the State and one of our most valued exchanges. The Herald is ably edited, well printed and admirably made up, and circulating in a large country contiguous to Savannah is an excellent advertising medium for our merchants. A friend writes to us from Montgomery county as follows: Some unprincipled wretch put poison in the troughs of ^Mr. Daniel McMillan’s sta bles a few days since, and it killed two horses for him, and one for John A. McMil lan; another got a dose, but will recover by care. Mr. McMillan found the poison in the trough, supposed by him to be Strychnine or Arsenic. A host of Picnics, Barbecues, fishing par ties, and weddings down here on the fourth irst Exercise for the Slate and Brain. Example: Five boys, A, B, C, D, and E, make an agreement to fill a vat with water, which holds 960 99-100 gallons. Each takes a cup, of which A’s holds 1 5-19 qts. B’s 1 2-17 qts. O’s 1 4-31 qts. D’s 1 5-23 qts. and E’s 1 6-37 qts. Every time A dipped 5J times, B dipped 44, and every time B dipped 4 times C dipped 3, and every time C dip ped 4 times D dipped 5 8-9, and every time D dipped 61-7 times E dipped 5J; how many dips did each make in filling the vat? and how many more dips did A make than B, B than C, C than D, and D than E. Your sincere friend, Zadok. i We understand that Mr. Samuel Barnett, a graduate of the University of Georgia, and at present Instructor in Mathematics in the i State College of Agriculture, has been elected Professor of Applied Mathematics in the Uni versity of Louisiana, with a salary of $2,000. Mr. Barnett is a son of Mr. Samuel Barnett, of Washington. We congratulate our A State University that other institutions are selec ting her graduates as Professors. This Louisiana State University is the the same institution over which Gen. Sher man presided previous to the late war. We learn that all the Faculty of the Uni versity united in recommending Mr. Barnett for the Professorship to which he has been cLcted.—ChrcnUh <fc Sentinel The Examination Of the pupils of the Sandeisville High School, held on Thursday and Friday of last week, surpassed even the expectations of those who had anticipated most. There was but one regret, viz.* that more time had not been given for the exercises, so that nothing need be hurried. Four days would not have been too long, neither would the interest have abated or the entertainment grown dull to visitors. The crowd in attendance was large, and the greatest interest manifested by all. Teachers and pupils were in fine spir its, and everything passed most pleasantly. Parents and friends were more than pleased —they were delighted—with the proficiency of study manifested by their children, and every heart went out in thankfulness to the noble teachers who have labored so zealously for the good of those committed to their charge. We have had good examinations here before, but never anything like this. Yea, more, the writer will say for himself, from our school-boy days up to the present time, we have been accustomed to vritness- ing exercises of a similar character, from the humble log cabin, embowered away in some shady dell, to the grand commencement ex ercises of our best Universities. Yet amid them all, we have never seen the examination in Sandersville on the 3d and 4th of July, 1873, surpassed in real merit. We say this with a feeling of pride and thankfulness. We are proud of the teachers, proud of our children, and truly thankful that the Great I Am has so blessed us with such pure-mind ed, competent, conscientious men and wo men to teach our children.- To attempt to particularize, without devoting th:s whole page to the subject would be more than folly —’twould be unjust. Had only a few acted well their part, ’twould be different. We could then easily tell who they were without infringing upon other subjects. But when there were one hundred and thirty-four who all did more than well, ’tis impossible. Com mencing with the little fellows, scarce large enough to be away from mother during school hours, and ascending to those verging upon manhood and womanhood, there was scarcely deficiency. True, some did better than oth ers; but it was good and better. Real solid learning. No preparing of pupils to recite certain lessons by rote, or to be examined up on certain chapters, as is too frequently the case. No pupil knew what question he or she would be asked until the same was pro pounded, and then the answers came readi- !y- But we cannot attempt to go into the min- utia of the examination.. We hop* every patron of the school was there to see and hear for themselves. From want of other time, the reading of compositions by the girls and declamations by the boys, together with music on the piano and other instruments, by the pupils, had to be at night And in these exercises we saw the same proficiency as in other branches of study. Prizes were offered to the different classes for the best reading and speaking. And here was the most difficult part of all: to say who should have the prize, so near equal were many of the contestants. A gentleman remarked to us—and he has had large experience and fine observation in such matters—that he would not have been on that committee for anything, for he could not, after hearing all, decide who was most en titled. So we say to those who failed to win, be not discouraged, but try again, and keep trying. Many of the compositions would have done credit to older heads; many of the boys would have put to shame some of our pretended Statesmen. There was scarcely a poor effort among either the boys or girls. The music, too, was excellent. Prof. Guttenbergeris the right man in the right place. Without the aid of our excel lent Brass Band, taught and led by him, the sweet songs, duetts, choruses and superior iustruemental music on the piano, violin, etc.,—all by himself or pupils, the exhibition on Thursday and Friday nights would have lost their brightest charm. But to return to the literary departments. Prizes were award ed as follows: In reciting poetry, Eliza Mar tin, Sunie Bostick. In Declamation, Jim mie Kelley, Harper Gilmore, Marshall Bland, George Young, Isadore Newman, Tommie Whidden, Spurgeon Jackson, B. T. Rawlings. In compositions; Anna Reinhart, Sallie Wil liamson, Mattie May Pringle, Bell Evans, Alice Laveigne & Maggie Medlock, Ella Skin ner. It was found on Friday noon, that it would be impossible for the large audience present and still assembling to be seated or anywise comfortable even in the [spacious court-room (wher£ the examination was being held) to hear the Literary Ad Iress of Rev. Dr. Clark. The exercises were therefore adjourned to the Methodist church, at 3P. M. We had purposed giving an out line of the able ad dress by this distinguished Divine, but as it has been asked for in publication we will not mar the beauty thereof by an attempted synopsis. Those who know Dr. Clark need not be told it was a master effort, replete with learning and a happy flight of elo quence. At the close of the address thirty-two hun dred dollars was subscribed towards erecting a school building commensurate with the wants ol of the school. Andjusthere let us say to those who were not present, do not fail to_put up that subscription and subscribe the last^dollar you are able to pay. We ex pect to have a school numbering two hun dred and fifty pupils next year, and they must have a place to study. No more rented school houses after this year. Well we have given all the space we can spare to this subject, and must bid these pleasant occasions adieu. But before doing so, must return thanks in behalf of the com munity to Mfessrs, Ivy W. Duggan, W. H. Lawson, Mrs. Duggan and Miss Julia War- then, of the literary deparments, and Prof. Guttenberger, of the music department, for what they have done for us and our children. And now, wishing all a happy vacation, hoping that the Fall Term may open on the 18th of August with still brighter prospects, than the last, we close this imperfect sketch. Give us (he “Dots.” We desire "most earnestly to receive from readers and friends, items of interest to the public of every character suitable to appear in print. Crop statements, health reports, neighborhood news (of interest,) marriages, deaths, etc., etc. We want short and inter esting articles from every section of country where the Hfru-.u circulates as often as pos sible. Especially do we desire this from counties that have adopted the Herald as their official organ. Our space will not ad mit of very lengthy articles. Hence friends will observe the necessity of saying th# most in the fewest words. Do not be offended if we condense or even reject your article. We mean no disrespect to the writer in so doing. But we study to please more than two thou sand people every week, and this is no easy task. To fill up the columns of a newspaper is easily done, but to make it a real live, in structive, reliable medium of news, spiced with a good share of wholesome family read ing, is a very different thing. Help us a lit tle, wont you friends? We are indeed thankful to those who have thus favored us, and hope they will not be come weary in well doing. And, ladies, while your husbands are writing about the crops, etc., can’t you slip in something nice for the family or children’s departments? Try. Notes of Travel, Editors Herald: On Thursday the26th ult, I started to Dublin to attend a Sunday School convention. I soon reached the house of our genial friend M J. P. and dined with him. Mr. P. showed me some as nice domestic Matrimonial. Editors Herald: One of the most brilliant entertainments of the kind, it has been our good fortune to be in attendance on for some time, transpired in the marriage reception of Mr. and Mrs. D. R. Carlton, two miles east of this place, at the residence of Mr. Richard Carlton, on Thursday evening last. The party was select, and numbered about 75 or 100. The couple, Mr. David R. Carl ton and Miss Annie Winn, having been united by the Rev. Mr. Yarborough, of the North Georgia Conference, at 9 in the morn ing at the residence of the bride’s father, two miles east of Eatonton. After partaking of some little refreshments, ice cream, cake, &c., set out at once on their journey, in car riages, accompanied by some fifteen or twen ty of their friends and witnesses to the sol emn rites, for the residence of Mr. Carlton, as above; the distance being twenty-eight or thirty miles. They arrived about 6 P. M. The guests soon arrived also, and the feast was entered upon with unusual merriment. The groom looked pleasing, but the bride most lovely. The supper was one worthy of the occa sion and would have satiated the appetite, of the most transcendent Epicurean. A Brass Band from Greensboro was in at tendance, and discoursed, ever and anon, strains of music soft and sweet. May the lives of this new couple be ever as happy as this their first bridal evening. C. I. D. Union Point, July 1st 1873. Answer to Query. In the Woods, June 25t61873. Editors Herald: In accordance with your request, I refer to problem heretofore pro posed forisolutdon, through the columns of your paper. My attention had been pre viously called to the quasi controversy re sultant therefrom, and it is with pleasure that I offer a solution. Without the aid of a diagram, and without employing technical terms, I shall find it dfficult to be brief. I use the term quasi in reference to this con troversy, for the reason, that while the math ematical principles which have been illus trated, by all who have entered into this controversy may be said generally to be correct, it has been in the application of those principles alone that the controver sialists have differed; and this, from the fact, that the various analyses made have not been considered relatively, nor extended to that point which is essential to the com plete elucidation dK the "problem. Assuming that the side of an acre square be 208 feet, and rejecting the decimal, and for the sake of lucidity in the explanation, terming two of the opposite sides the bases, and the other two the sides, if the rows be laid off at right angle* with each other, four feet apart there would be 52 rows, each row containing 52 hills, making the number of hills in an acre 8704 The rows would be at all points four feet distant from the ad joining ones, as would each hill from the adjoining hills. The perimeter of the square would be 16 feet and the area 16 sq feet. But instead of laying off rows at right an gles, having laid off rows from base to base wine as I ever saw.

Here I learn ed that I was mistaken as to the day of the convention, and found that I was a flay before the feast. I stayed over with Mr. B. until Saturday morning and I enjoyed my stay here very much. While here I saw a fine example of domestic economy. I saw some very excellent flour made from wheat of Mr. B’s own raising, and ground at Dr. Chappell’s mills. The young ladies, Mr.' B’s daughters made some of as fine bisouit, light-bread, and pastry as any man need want to eat These young ladiet are intelligent, modest and refined and entertaining, and at the same time they are very domestic, and can cook as good as need be; an excellent example for those fancy girls who think it a disgrace to know how to cook and attend to household affairs. Mr. B. showed to me his orchard where lie has some very excellent peaches and apples, his garden is also very fine. On Saturday I went to Dublin and witness ed the Sunday School convention. Y’ou will perhaps hear something more in relation to the convention soon. Died on the 24th June, at the plantation of Maj. Harris Brantley, Washington county, Ga., Iewin Johnson, after a severe illness of about six weeks, which he bore with the great est degree of patience and resignation.

On the perpendicu lar rows, the hills would be four feet apart— on the diagonal rows 5.65 feet apart. It is this space which may be utilized;—it is the use of this space which explains a seeming paradox. In the rhombus thus formed, the L perimeter would be 19.3 feet, and the area 22.6 feet. This apparent gain results from this fact; the diagonals approach with 2.87 feet of the hills.

Cholera still prevailing in Tennessee. better from Bulloch. Statesboro, Ga., July 3rd 1873. Editors Herald: Thinking that a few items concerning crops might be read with inter est, by some of your readers, and since no one, as yet, has written from Bulloch, I have concluded that I would, in a kind of an off handed manner, say a little concerning the crops in the vicinity in which I live, a por tion of the county I know nothing about the crops, only from hearsay. The most of the farmers in this section of the [county cut ranging timber, which is generally cut and hauled to water in the fall and early winter, which is to be carried off on the first big water; owing to the very dry winter this big water didn’t come until late in the spring and the very time that farmers should have been busy with their farms, everything that could be raked and scraped, that was able, was on the creeks running timber, which, as a natural consequence, gave the grass the start and it has been “who shall and who shall” with the farmers and the grass ever since, or until a few days back, the rains having ceased, which has given the farmers an opportunity to kill some of the gross at least; but a little while back, if two farmers met any where, the next thing to “howdy do and how’s all” was sure to be how ore you and the grass making it, the grass then was the subject of conversation until they sepa rated. Notwithstanding so much grass, crops are looking, as a general thing, very well. The most of the corn crops have been laid by tolerably clean of grass, and ootton is now being cleaned and is beginning to look better than it did a week or so ago. Owing to the dry weather in April, this crop is a little late, the most of it never came up un til after the mins in May, and when it did come up, it and the grass all came together, if anything the grass was a little ahead, which has kept the cotton under hack until now. I think if we are blessed with seasons a lit tle while longer, there will be a good deal of corn, and cotton, too, made in this section of country, but rain at this time is very much needed; I notice that com that has been manured is beginnjpg to fire. The health of the county is very good, haven’t heard of but a few cases of fever yet, hut am afraid it will commence soon. For the present, I will close. Yours Respectfully, Cato. letter from Jefferson. Hudsoxia, Ga., July 4th 1873. Editors Herald: As you requested me to give you a line once in a while, should any thing interesting take place in our “Glas cock touched community.” I will try to give you a short description of the examina tion of E^ev. M. P. Cain’s School which, to the pleasure and amusement of all, came off with grand success at this, place yesterday and last night. The examination commenced at an early hour in the morning, and lasted until near two o’clock. The students ac quitted themselves quite creditably, reflect ing much honor upon the school and the indefatigable efforts of their worthy precep tor. Their prompt answers to all questions and black-board exercises, proved, to the satisfaction of all present, that they had betti carefully, correctly, and thoroughly taught. We can but regret that more of our friends from a disiaiwe vrpre not permitted to wit ness these exerefees, feeling assured, they would have been satisfied that ours was »- good school. At seven o’clock the audience began to as semble at the residence of the teacher to wit ness the closing exercises, which was inter spersed with splendid music. Reading and declamation closed by the “Valedictory,” the teacher announced, “that we would have a little nonsense.” Then came the Charades. First we had “It never Rains butjit Pours/’ In this there were six characters all of whom acted their parts splendidly. Then followed “Phantom” in which there were five actors. We imagine that none present will soon for get this performance, and more especially the appearance, singing; and acting of “Julius.” Repeated bursts of laughter proved that the large audience were emphatically diverted and gratified. Then we had the rousing, closing, charade, “Woman’s Rights.” It is only necessary to say of this scene, that so highly was it appreciated that the audience asked that it be repeated. Even then the curtains were drawn amidst cries of “hold on,” “wait,” “too soon,” etc. Thus closed the entertainment of the evening. Many of our friends pronounced it a perfect success— and now Messrs Editors, permit me to say in conclusion that parents and guardians hav ing children or wards to send to school, could not do better, in our humble judgment, than to put them under the tutelage of Rev. M. P. Cain and lady. Yours truly, Tom.

His disease was doubtless con tracted while serving gallantly as a soldier of the Lost Cause. As a husband and father none could be more kind, more devoted, more affectionate. k A beloved wife and two little children veepVer his early grave. As a neighbor John was ever ready to adminis ter to the wants of those in need or to serve a friend. His loss in the neighborhood where he resided will be long and seriously felt.— His place is vacant, his nich in society unoc cupied. But we trust he has passed to that better state prepared for the true and the good, in the land of eternal rest A Friend. Died at her residence in Hancock county, Ga , on the 22d June, Mrs. Mabgabet Hood, aged 52 years. While young she espoused the cause of Jesus, united herself with the Baptist church, and died a consistent mem ber of Darien churoh, Hancock county.
