peach had a small one joined to the
stem. The large peaches ripened at
the usual time,then the small onosgrow
and ripenod nearly two months later.
The limb the Colonel sends us has on
it quite a number of fine large ripe
peaches, each with a small one by the
side of it. We have never heard of
so singular a horticultural curiosity
as this peach tree present.

in this place, consisted of pieces of
cigar box for soles, with strings tied
over Ihe foot-sandal fashion. The
prison was an Camp Douglas, near
Chicago. When ho was liberated
the war was over. Without a dollar
in the world, but full of energy and
determination, he got employment in
putting up buildings for the Chicago
world’s fair. He made a good deal
of money, and thus laid the founda
tion of a fortune which he has run up
to over fifty thousand dollars. Ortr
enterprising fellow townsman Mr. T
But-well Greon is the gentleman.
•'THEPOIST.”
Th* Hospitable Home of Captain D. B.
Cade.
“The Point,” whoro old Petersburg
once stood,now has only one residence
and that a now one. This is the
charming and delightful homo of
Captain D. B. Cade. Ohl Petersburg
lay between, and noarthe confluence
of, Savannah and Broad rivers, had
six or eight thousand inhabitants,
about forty stores, and was the
most important city in this part of
the country. Tho buildei-9 of this
city located, as they thought, at the
head of navigation on the Savannah
river; but, alas, “the best laid plans
of men and mice oft gang aglee.”
Augusta, fifty-five miles down the
river proved to bo the true location
for a great city, and to her was a
reality what was only a dream to hot
former greater rival. Lisbon was
situated jtsst across Broad nver and
Vtonnajust across the Savannah from
Petersburg. An old brick storo in
Lisbon tells ofits former glory, while
Vienna shows not a vestige of a
building. Old Petersburg was the
larger of the three place* but all three
have no v crumbled to the ground and
the citizens have all passed away.
Now and then wo meet some aged
person who can tell us of these form
er cities. An old lady told us not
long since that she bought her wed
ding outfit In olid Petersburg, that it
had thirty-two stores, but had then
been shorn efmnach of its glory.
Wo visited Captain Cade on the
occasion of a recant barbecue in tho
neighborhood, and found more to iti
]ierost us and make life agreeable than
we have evor before crowded into tho
same space of time.
At the barbecucthcro was a gather
ing of Ihe clans—the crowd consist
ing of five or six hundred people.
Captain Cade was the presiding
genius, and the barbecue wa9 one of
tho finest successes we have ever
known.
Wo returnod to Captain Cade’* and
spent the second night under Ids hos
pitable roof. We havo nevor seen a
! farmer better equipped with ma
chinery and implements. They are
'all of the latest improved make.
(Stretching out in rear
of his residence are
the broad low lands of tho Sav
annah river; and surrounded by
woodlands and river*, ouo of tho
most magnificent views we have ever
seon,is presented to the eve. Thoughts
of our visit will always bo refreshing
'to our mind.

Little Marion Dußose, aged eight
months,son of Mr. 11. P. Quin, passed
fr*m earth to heaven, on the 7th
inst. Ho was a bright and beautiful
child, the joy of fond parents and lov

first cloud that has come over a happy
family,and yet it Is not without a sil
ver lining; for the God who gave has
taken un'o Himself again, and there
is tho sweet assurance that this little
one will dwell forever in tho realms
of bliss.

Mossrs. Irvin & Cailan’s
mill was insured for $6,700, as
we stated when it burned. They
paid premiums on this amount,
expecting to realize it in ease the mill
was destroyed by tiro. By a trick of
the insurance companies in palming
off deceptive policies, thoy claimed
that they were only liable tor $4,100.
The North British, New Y'ork Home
and Columbus Home were the com
panies in which the mill w*9 insured*
Messrs. Irvin & Callan received the
$4,100, retaining the right to sue for
the balance of $2,600 whenever they
saw proper. This is a high Itandod
measure on the part of these insur
ance companies in committing
and wo hopo they will bo held ame
nable to the laws of the laud. If there
is no law to compel them to pay what
they contract to pay, then we should
have one tor future eases,
before the legislature adjourns.
This matter ought to be in
vestigated for the benefit of the pub
lic against the exhobitant and tricky
insurance companies, and wo hope
the press will take a lively band in
defending people against organized
fraud.
