HOME MATTERS.
Volume V.
TUi» iwa* olosw Volume Five of the
McDctru J jrRXAL. The preseet man
agers feel gratefal to their petrous for
tiirir liberal faVurii during the pest .veer,
end if we have failed to give satisfaction
or uphold public interests, wo hare the
consolation of knowing we hare done the
beat we oould.
According to eustom we will isane no
paper next week, but will take a few
days' respite from toil that we may be
gin the labors of the New Year with
renewed rigor. A merry Christmas to
all our patrons and friends.
Celt Weather.
The latter portion of last week was the
coldest weather of the season. Saturday
the ground remained frozen all day, and
ics, in the shade, was as thick at night
as at early morn.
Mew Music.
Prof. Geo. O. Robinson, of Augusta,
will please sccept our thanks for sereral
pieces of new muaic. What a source of
convenience is Prof. Robinson's Music
House to all lovers of music. Nothing
that can be desired, either sacred or
sentimental, that Cannot be obtained of
him.
Assignee's Stale.
Pv reference to our advertising columns
it w.il be seen that H. C. Roney, Esq.,
Assignee of estate of D. B. Johnson,
will eell the property belonging to said
estate on the first Tuesday in January
neat. Capitalists will find this a splen
did opportunity for investment.
Savoy Cabbage.
Mr. John May has sent to our Office
a very fine cabbage of the above named
variety which is rather a novel plant.
The leaves grow out from the stock, as
does the old-fashioned-biue oollard, but
curl equally as much na the leaves of ■
curled lettuce. The color is a dark pea
green.
Free Lecture.
At the request of the multitude Col. A.
1). Willis, whose reputation as a Lector- j
sr is so well known, will addrasa the
citizens of McDuffie and surround g
counties, at Thomson ou Saturday next.

lecture rejiorted in full for our column*.
Divine Service.
By the recent action of the North Geo
rgia Ooufereuce in transferring the
Methodist church at Wrightsboru' to the
Warreu circuit Rev. Mr. Hamilton will
have two Sabbaths in the month iu Thom
son.
Rev. Mr. Ellington will also preach
twice a mouth st the Baptist church,
consequently there will he preaching st
one or tbs other of the churches every
Sabbath.
Burial st the Dead.
In all small towns bsrials are conduct
ed by the citizens in general, ami uniiks
the eustom iu the cities the filling of
graves devolves on whoever may volun
teer their services. Not unfrequently
large crowds oome together on these
occasions and gaze in idle curiosity,
while two, or three perhaps, do all the
work. This labor oould be made com
paratively easy if all male attendants at
burials would offer relief.
Maalclral Kteetloa.
Wa have heard vary little said in
regard to the municipal election which
cross off en the first day of Jaunary.
The size, age and importance of oar
town demands that our beat citizens have
the government of the corporation, and
while we are not aware of th« existence
of any cliques who desire to promote
personal interests, it would not be amiss
for our citizens to begin to caucus for a
ticket. The present incumbents are
giving entire satisfaction, ao far as we
kuow, but whether or not they will be
willing to serve the people again, we do
not know.
The Fair.
The Fair at the Masonic Hall on last
Thursday night, by the Ladiee’ Memori
al Association, of thia county, notwith
standing the pressure of the times and
tho inclemency of the weather, was well
attended, and resulted in a complete fi
nancial success. The ladies realized even
more than they could have expected un
der the circumstances, but it was noth
ing more than one could safely predict,
with such skillful and estimable ladies as
compose the Association as managers,
gnd such winning and fascinating young
ladies, for which the county is so well
noted, to sell and drum for the different
departments. The hall, and different ta
bles were most beautifully decorated; in
fact, everything necessary for pleasure
and the loosening of the strings of one's
purse. Tables laden with aubstantials
and rare delicacies of every description.
Fish ponds, post offices, express offices,
oyster saloons, and the inexhaustible
grab bag* composed the principal fea
tures. Oat of the grab bag we noticed
one article, a slightly oolored, infantile,
fifteenth amendment, that must have,
during the night, beeq taken out and im
mediately replaced by every young gen
tleman present, and at 10 cents a grab,
innst have brought a nice little sum.
The object of the Fair, as stated in our
bnt issue, was for the purpose of fixing
| up the graves and perpetuating the mem
-1 ory of our honored Confederate dead.
May abundant success always attend the
! efforts of our lovely women in this
. Cause.
Our Explorius Expedition
left Boglawallow on the steamer Lady
! Thomson on the Bth.
The Lady Thomson is a full rigged
! tie-back aud clipper built, side-wheel
1 screw propeller, with the stouacer,
whiißbampcr attachment. She is com
j manded by actiug Rear Admiral Farring
ton, and the crew is composed of a com
i pany of well drilled marines.
They have advanced for several hun
dred yards into the famous Mulligan
( Lagoon, aud passed a point which they
have christened Cape Farrington from
which point, at a great cost, we have j
completed arrangements that will enable
us to receive daily communications.
The hnnters have already killed a jay
bird, and discovered a gum tree in which
a coon is supposed to have a den.
In oar first issue in January we hope
to be able to furuish complete maps of
| the country now being explored by the
: daring adventurers, as well as other
: valuable information relative to their
privations, hair-breadth escapes, etc. |
The State Board of Health.
The law passed by the last Legisla
ture, establishing a State Board of
Health, and providing for the registry of
vital statistics, is understood by very few
outside the officers charged with its exe
| cutiou and the leading physicians. The
law is a good one, and meets the hearty
approval of professional men and the ed
ucated and intelligent classes. There are,
however, some grave defects iu the law,
which the Legislature should promptly
remedy. The report aud registry of
marriages, births and deaths, as required
by this law, entails considerable extra
j labor upou physicians, civil officers, cler
gymen, Ac., for which there is uo com
pensation provided. This is wrong, of
course, aud was, doubtless an oversight
of the Legislature. If these vital statis
tics are of so much importance aud val
ue, the State or counties should pay a
! reasonable renumeratiou to the parties
who collect and record them.
But our object at present is not to dis
miss the law, but to give our readers a
clearer idea of its provisions and require
ments. The Ordinaries are prepared to
1 furnish the requisite blanks upon appli
cation. The following sj ws the oon
! tents of the different returns :
| RETURN OV MARKIAOE.
1. Full name of groom. 2. Place of
residence. S. Age. 4. Color. 5. Oc
cupation. fi. .’U. 'w of birth, (State or

10. Maiden name, if a widow. 11. Place
of residence. 12. Age. 13. Color. 14.

(primary, secondary.)
This return mast also be made by the
physician, and if no physician, the next
of kin to the deceased. All of these re
turns must be made to the Ordinaries as
soon after the event as possible; aud the
failure or refusal of the person whose
duty it is to make them incurs a peually
of ten dollars and costs, and the Ordina
ries are required to see that the law is
executed.
DEATH ON THE RAIL.
A TERRIBLE EXPLOSION.
Early yesterday morniDg information
was received in this city to the effect
that a locomotive on the Georgia Rail
road had exploded at Barnett, killed the
fireman and wounded the engineer. The
report proved to be correct. The pas
senger train left Atlanta as usual at 10:30,
p. m., Thursday, in charge of conductor
T. J. Woods. The train was drawn by
the locomotive M. P. Stovall, one of the
best on the road. The engineer was Mr.
Joseph B. Reaney and the fireman Mr.
Henry Downs. The train moved along
smoothly, the engine working splendid
ly, and reached Barnett on schedule
time. It moved out from the depot and
had only proceeded about a train length
when a terrific explosion occurred. I'be
train quivered as if shaken by an earth
quake. The conductor immediately rush
ed forward to the locomotive. A terri
ble scene met his gaze. The rear of the
engine was entirely separated from the
trout, slewed completely around and
thrown about three feet from the track.
The front was off the track nearly the
same distance on the other side. The
fireman, Mr, Downs, was lying in the
tender among the wood, where he bad
been hurled by the force of the explo
sion. He was dead, and had evidently
been killed instantly. IJis head was
j crushed almost out of shape. Tae en
gineer, Mr. Reaney, was lying at the
foot of an embankment twenty feet dis
tant. His face was covered with blood,
his right leg was broken, and his lit ad
j was terribly injured. Mr. Woods and
one of the passengers who assist.-il him
; administered restoratives to the wounded
man, but lie failed to revive. Two phy
sicians Were summoned aud did all that
was possible to relieve Mr. Reauey’s
| sufferings. As soon as the up dav pas-
I senger train reached Barnett Mr. Reaney
! was placed on board and sent to Atlanta.
! It was then thought that his injuries
were necessarily fatal, but a dispatch re
ceived in this city yesterday afternoon
from Atlanta, announced that he • wss a
little better but not nint h hopes was eu
tertained of his recovery.
The remains of the dead fireman were
also sent to Atlanta. Mr. Downs lived
it that city. He was quite a young man
and leaves a wife and four children. Mr.
Reauey is a resident of the same place
■ and has a wife and several children. He
came to Augusta a few days since to bu
ry one of bis children who bad died in
the Gate City and thia was his first trip
with his engine since that sad event. He
is considered ouo of the best and most
careful engineers ou the road and had ;
been running the M. P. Stovall for some
time. He is a practical mechanic having
received a liberal education in that branch ,
of science in Philadelphia.
As it was, the accident occurred just
at the sidling, so that one of the tracks
was free and the road was unobstructed.
All trains, therefore, went through on
schedule time.
The locomotive was completely wreck
ed. As stated abeve, it was divided in
two parts, the rear turning completely
around. The head light was knocked
from the front aud the sand box hurled
a distance of four huudred yards into the
woods. A piece of metal, weighing
about fifteeu pounds, was thrown back
wards the full length of the train, fell on
the roof of tho depot aud went entirely
through it. Smaller pieces of iron and
brass were found scattered about at
greater or loss distances. The force of
the explosion was terrific. The cause of
the accident is a profound mystery. The
engine was workiug well when it started
aud there was no reason to anticipate auy
trouble. The M. P. Mtovnil was purchased
by the Georgia Railroad Company, Feb.
23, 1860. It whs made by Richard Nor
ris, of Philadelphia, aud sold as a first
class engine. In 1870 the boiler was re
built at the Georgia Railroad . hops in
this city, in a very thorough manner.
The repairs wi re of a character that was
calculated to inspire confidence in its
safety for ten years. Mr. Cook, the Mas
ter Mechanic, informed a reporter of the
Chronicle <fr Sentinel that lie considered
the engine oue of the safest on the road.
It was utterly impossible to aecomit for
the accident.
The loss to the company will be con
siderable, as the eugine will have to be
almost completely rebuilt.
A freight engine was attached to the
passenger train, and it reached Augusta
at half-past ten o'clock, three hours be
hind time Chronicle <(■ Sentinel, 16th.
Mr. Reaney has since died.
