Mysterious Drowning—The 17th Aroused—The Bodies Found To gether in Life—Not Separa ted in Death—Was it Mur der—Dr. Bruce’s Testi mony—The Coroner’s Inquest—Ver dict, Etc, Seldom bM our community received such a shock, as it did on last Monday, when tho painful intelligent was brought to our town, that two bright young girls, Misses Sfirah Norris and Ella Ball,' had been iound drowned in the Ochlockoneo river, near the railroad bridge some six miles west of this place. The former was seven teen years of age, and the latter but thirteen. There is intense excitement in the 17th district, as it is thought that mur der most foul, followed a more heinous outrage upon one of these innocent, and defenceless girls. It is that a black (lend has been h make thieats, ot such a character as to point him out as the author, or ac- ccssory to the commissiou o! this sus pected great crime. If the crime should he brought 1 ome to him, or nny one else, m the present temper of those ncople, he would have but short thrive- It seems that Miss Ball was spend ing Sunday with Miss Norns. After dinucr Miss II. proposed to go down mid sec the railroad trestle and bridge, ns she had never sceu them. Accom panied liy her friend Miss Norris, they were last seen by the watchman at the bridge, Mr. Posey, at 3 o'clock Sunday cvcuiug. Not returning home 011 Sunday af ternoon, the whole neighborhood was aroused, the search continuing through the entire night. Early on Monday morning, Mr. It. II. Ilowcn, discovered the nuue and lifeless person of Miss Ella Hall in the river, Upon further examination, as will he seen by reference lo his testi mony, the person of Miss Norris, was found immediately under where that ot Miss Ball's was found. Miss Nor ris' body was resting on the bottom of the river. Acting coroner, IV. L. Hudson. Esq.,lmd the bodies removed to Mi. Norris', and subsequently to the house of Mr. Ball, at which place, the inquest was held As will be seen by reference to the sworn testimony of Messrs. Solomon Chastaiu, Gideon Posey and Wm. Hurst, n large bare footed track went down into the water from where the clothing was found, (the clothing seemed to have been cai (-fully laiu down with ear-rings and linger rings,) and emerged from the river aguiu, just where the bodies were found. This part of the testimony is a black chapter, in this sad affair, and we can but hope, that if foul play lias been used, that the perpetrators may meet swift, aud unerring Justice. We nro indebted to W. L. Hudson, 'Esq , for the following transcript from the oflicial proceedings of the inquest: TESTIMONY OF MB. It. II. BOWEN. If. II. Bowen being duly sworn tes tified as follows: Was first to discover the dead body of Ella Ball in the Ochlockonee river, lifeless. After her body was removed from the river by C. T. Hudson, the body of Sarah Norris was found imme diately unde! that of Miss Ball, lying ou the bottom of the river. The body of Sarah Norris was re moved from tho river, by W. It. Pitt man, J. E. Dyson and James D. Joner. Saw no marks of violence on the body of Miss Norris, except one cor ner of her mouth being torn, from some caute cause unknown. Both bodies were destitute of clothiug, it (the clothing,) being found near where their bodies were removed from the river. [Signed.] It. II. Bowf.n. Wc, J. E. Dyson. J. D. Jones and C. T. Hudson being duly sworn, do cor roborate the above testimony. . J. E. Dyson, [Signed,] J. D. Jones, C. T. Hudson. Gideon Posey, Wm. Hurst and Sol omon Chastain, being duly sworn, tes tified as follows: There was a large bare foot track going into the river immediately where the clothing of the girls were found, and coming out again, where the bodies were found. Tbo track went down the 1 iver apparently run ning, could not trace them to any defi nite result. Gideon Posey, [Signed,] Solomon Chastain, Wm. Hurst. db. Bruce’s certificate. On post mortem examination I find no marks ot violence externally upon either of the parties, except a portion of the face removed from tne sub max illary bone. On the examination of Miss Ball, I find her virginity uninterrupted— in the case of Miss Norris I find the opposite to he true. It. J. Bruce. VEBDICT OF THE JURY.

It is also suggested, should the ap plicant not he able to Incur the ex pense of board, that probably the Ag ricultural Society of your county could he induced to render aid lo that extent.

ACTION. \ That’s what the property holders and btufinem men demand at the hinds of oar local authorities. Our people pay their taxes we believe, willingly and promptly, and they have a right to protection. Have they had it? have they got it ? ( Let the blackened walls and unsightly ruins that mars the finest street in our town answer. Let the oft-re curring attempts to fire the place, by some bold, crafty, unscrupulous scoundrel, answer. Let the vague unquiet and uneasy slumbers of our citizens, who ore liable to be roused from their sleep at any moment, by the dread cry of fire, to see their hard earnings melt into ashes; let this answer. Let the long catalogue of incendiary fires that have marked ThomasviUe for the past few years, answer. It is an acknowledged and well known fact, that our police reg ulations are miserably deficient, when we take into consideration the interests involved. "With only one night watchman, it is not surprising, that the incen diary should touch the torch, under the very nose of the Citie’s constitu ted anthorites. We say give our Mr. T.R Thurman rises and pro poses that the vexed wafer supply question in Atlanta, should he settled by diggioga well to supply that village, and modestly asserts that be is ready to plank down $25/100 If the “old thing don’t work.” Give him a chance gen tlemen, you can use the money in en tertaining the next Governors Conven tion. Gorman thus discourses of Thomas- villc in a late letter to the “Standard.” We always had a very high opinion of his judgment, and these views of his only confirm these impressions. “Of all the towns in Southwest Geor gia, there lingers a charm about this place we can’t describe. There are cities quite ns healthy, but not more hunutitul; eoiinlrip* n» rich, but not more productive;c!imatcs as salubrious but never more favorable to the growth of prosperity and true happiness. Whether it is, her men arc more vig orous and .enterprising, her women more beautiful mid accomplished, to which must be attributed this high state of material progress and ad vancement, we are unable to decide. It must be her women and her news paper press, the first having reared the men, and the lost having dissemmiua- ted tho knowledge of their works Abroad and their deeds at home. The true success of any country depends on its educated mothers. Now we will return to our subject for fear we niiglu write an eulogy on the daught ers. But we propound this question, how is it that Thomas county has out stripped all her neighboring counties in Southwestern Georgia? It is be cause she keeps her capital at home, by producing her corn, oats, cane, po tatoes and meat, which enables her to pocket the results of her cotton crop. ThomasviUe has more capital and the country more wealth than any other of the same population, we believe in the entire Stale. Tho late fire in that town, with a heavy loss iu property and about one third insurance, never broke a single merchant. ThomasviUe boasts ot one of the most substantial banking house, in Georgia, that of A. P. Wright & Co. She certainly supports two of the btsf weekly newspapers, the Times, and the Enterprise, which reflect in their columns the progress and intelli gence that exists among her people. Her merchants and professional men are among the foremost in the South, with a reputation at home and abroad that any pcoplo might be proud of. If we had no ties in Talbot county, Thomas would soon hold “our heart aud soul.” Young men ot Middle Georgia, go to Thomas county, where health, honor and wealth await the ef forts of the frugal and industrious. Wt spent a day most delightfully among her excellent citizens, aud cau never foiget the kiuduess shown us.'* The Result in Massachusetts. The most significant, and hopeful sign, connected with the crushing de feat of Ben Butler in the late contest tor Gubernatorial honors, is the fact that it was none the less a defeat of Grant and Ins whippers in, than that of the redoubtable hero of Dutch gap. It was well known that Grant was lending the might of liis influence, and using all the Federal patronage of the government, to bolster up Butler, and lo force him upon tho people of that ancient commonwealth; who subservi ent as they have been, refused to swallow this mass of political corrup tion, even at tbo bidding of Ctesor himself. Is there no way to punish tbis'tUgrant violation ofGrants will, at the North? He finds it easy enough, and tools without number, as well without principle, to cany out the blackest and foulest of bis schemes South. Now we want to see him pun ish these recalcitrants in Massachu setts. Wbajs|sauce tor the goose, sauce for tbe gander.

Bat how is it to be done, asks one. We would suggest to our city fathers that they at once place two competent, reliable night police upon duty, and give them such wages as will justify them in converting night into day. There are hundreds of thousands of dol lars at stoke. If you haven’t got means, levy a tax, tiie property-holders of the town are willing to pay their pro rata, bnt they want security and immuni ty from these oft-recurring fires. Another such fire as occurred sometime ago, would completely paralyze business here. We could not stand such another conflagra tion. After [placing the town under iroper and 'safe police regulations, et them go to work carefully and systematically, to unravel the dark mystery that envelopes the many fires that have occurred here in so short a space of time. Let no stone be left unturned, let the investiga tion be prosecuted persistently, and secretly, and we believe that these fiends will be unearthed. They walk our streets in open day. Shall they continue to keep our citizens in nightly terror, and to brandish the flaming torch of the incendiary with impunity from year to year, in the very faces of our people ? x The question is a grave one—the future business prosperity of our town and >eople are in the balance. Let our hty Council, composed as it is, of our best men, take vigorous and early action, and show these mid night fiends that they cannot ply their infamous trade of indiscrimi nate burning and robbery, with im punity; and they will be aided and seconded by the entire community.

Editors Times: We have just ar rived at home after a ten days absence meandering through the counties of Worth, Berrien and Brooks. Space will not allow, nor time permit us to describe the different incidents of our little trip, if wc felt so deposed. Wo found crops generally good, caterpillar plentiful, but farmers in good heart. Some places tbe farmer expressed themselves glad the caterpillar had come, and said they would give them the right hand of fellowship, for they would be more beneficial to the cotton than injurious, for, Jry eating of the leaves, the sun could then penetrate to the bottom cotton, and save it from rotting, and more would be saved at bottom than lost at the top. While in Brooks it was my privilege to attend a Sabbath School Celebra tion , held at the camp ground near Morven. There were five schools represented, Uiree Methodist, and two Baptise The Baptist schools were consolidated into one. Each school had its banner, and it was indeed a pretty sight to see them in line some two hundred pupils, with their four banners spread to the breeze, each with au appropriate motto inscribed upon it Half after nine o'clock tbe schools together with the spectators assembled at tbe stand. Tbe Rev. Mr. Rentell announced the pro gramme, and introduced the Rev.
