Morning at 11; evening at 7 o’clock.
H&jkjsov iNi-rrn rK.—Prof. L. A.
Murpiiey has again taken charge of,
this popular institute. Persons inter
ested are referred to the notice in
another column.
To Farmers.-— Attention is called to
the advertisement of Mr. Jno. J. Evans,
in am thcr column. We cordially com
mend this gentleman to our people
assuring them that, should they employ
him in his line, they will be constrained
to say, “well done, good and faithful.
The Fence Qcestion. —Ry reference
to another column it will be seem that
the President of the County Agricultu
ral Society, lion. Jos. R. Jones, calls
a meeting of the Society, and citizens
generally, of the county, at the Court
house, in this place, on Tuesday next,
to discuss the question of “fence" or j
“no fence.” We hope there will be a
full attendance.
W hatiier. —The past week has been
one of intense cold. On Tuesday night
last wo had a rain, sleet, and snow-storm,
and in the morning a hard freeze, which
made navigation quite a difficult opera
tion to all “manner of two and four
footed beasts. 1 ' But this (Friday) after
noon, it is beginning to thaw, and some
of the sloppiest streets we ever saw. is
the consequence.
“On, the snow, the beautiful snow !"
may be all very well in poetry; but to
one who hasn’t any time to play, and so
much work that he can’t take time to
get pay for what he does, its all “in tny
eye.” We are just in that Ox—we
can’t tide time, for the lima it requires
to “go for” the individuals from whom
we would take pay, and whose “ways
are dark and tricks innumerable,” is
about one day to the man.
Remarkable* PoßM. —The poem on
our fir.-t page, from the Springfield
(Mass.) Republican, is said by that paper
to have been recited by Miss Li/.zn:
Botkn, a spiritual medium, under the
influence of Km; aa A. Poe. It is cer
tainly beautiful, and no less remark
able—and breathes the spirit oj Poe,
whether I;is spirit or not. We notice
some of our exchanges publishing an
incorrect and mutilated copy ot to is
poem, dated Baltimore, IST-. But tins
that we present is correct, and of much
older date, having been preserved in our
scrap-book since ISG6.

The exhibition of-the Agricultural
and Mechanical Association of Georgia,
at Savannah, promises to be the bc-t of
its kind ever before held in Georgia.
Last year the Fair in that city was
reputed to be the finest of the season
eclipsing Macon, Augusta, and Atlanta.
This year it will be ten-fold more at
tractive than then. It was postponed
from the 2d to the 30th instant on ac
count of the horse disease, which nvre
or less affected every department of the
exhibition. The railroads will pass
visitors for one fare, and we hope our
portion of the State will be well and
fully represented. In this connection
we desire to express our thanks to Mr.
J. H. Estiel, Secretary, for a compli
mentary invitation. W e will be there
—if we can.
C. W. Blood worth, sentenced to ten
years’ imprisonment from Robertson
county, for aiding and abetting an
illegal marriage, was brought to Nash
ville Friday and placed in jail, to await
trial before the Supreme Court, to
which he appealed his case. It is said
that he and two others imposed upon a
simple girl by pretending to marry her
to one of their number, the second act
ing as a minister in pronouncing the
ceremony, while the third witnessed it.
One of the parties subsequently left tor
parts unknown, the second was acquitted
by the Circuit Court, while BlooJworth
was sentenced to tho penitentiary.
A Vaccine War.—A rather curious
piece f intelligence from Ceutrl Asia
relates the outbreak of a mutiny at
| Chod.'hent. The cause of this entente
was uo other than a somewhat summary
i proceeding of the authorities in endeav
oring to protect people against the small
pox, one of the seourages of the region.
Accompanied by so many Cossacks the
government surgeons would enter vil
lage after village, and pouncing upon t he
inhabitants, man, woman or child, where
cvcr they might find them, insert the
beneficent virus. At Chodshcnt the
terror which preceded and followed the
medical cavalcade led to open resistance.
Fancying the enigmatical punctures in- j
tended to mark those sought, out for j
transportation to Russia, the people
rose against the Cossacks, killed a con- !
pie of them, and also massacred one of ’
their own elders pressed into assisting |
at the hateful ceremony. After this the
rest can be imagined. A Russian force ,
having entered the city two of the
rioters were executed, nine sent to the
Siberian mines, ten banished to the ;
North Pole and several thousand fined.
Of those banished two were killed by ;
the escort before they were well over
the borders ot Turkistan.
Malleable Glass. —The question of
the possibility of manufacturing mal
leable glass has been renewed in connec
tion with a modern discovery in Aus
tria. This glass was mentioned by many
ancient writers, especially' by Pliny, who
speaks of its being indented when thrown
on a hard substance, and then hammer
ed into shape again like brass. The
world uses a vastly greater amount of
glass now than during the early ages,
but has never been able to overcome its
brittleness. That aeeompli-hed, and it
would enter into uses not even suspect*
ed now, and probably dispute with iron
itself for supremacy as an agent of civili
zation. A glass spinner in Vienna has
recently made a discovery that may
lead to the recovery of the lost link in
the chain of early invention, lie is
manufacturing a thread of this material
finer than the fibre of the silk worm,
which is entering largely into the manu
facture of a variety of new fabrics, such
as cu'hiuns, carpets, table cloth-, -bawls,
neckties, figures in brocaded velvet and
silk embro dery, tapestry, laces, and a
multitude of other things. It it as
soft as the finest wool, stronger than
siik thread, and is not changed by heat,
light, moisture or acids, not liable to 1
fade. So important is the matter deemed
that, while the proie.-s is kept a pro
found secret, the Austrian Minister of
Commerce has already organized schools
for glass spinning in various places iu
Rohemia, and a variety of manufactured
articles are now for sale, and will no
doubt soon reach America. If it shall
end in the final re-di.-covery of malleable
gla-s. so that it can be wrought or rolled
into sheets, it will revolutionize much
of the world's industry. Indeed, no
one could safely predict to what uses it
might not be applied, as the material is
plentiful in all lands.
A Daring Robber. — Richmond. Fa.,
December 0, 1 s 72.—A most daring high
way robbery occurred here to-day. A
Northern man, named Stephen Hender
son, who had been on business at the
Big Bend Tunnel on the Chesapeake
and Ohio Railroad, West Virginia, was
en route through this city to his home
North via the York River route. Ho
arrived here last night, and to-day di
rected his footsteps to the depot. Here
he was accosted by a stranger, who sub
sequently turned < ut to be a notorious
ex penitentiary convict named Jack
Champion.
This individual endeavored by his good
address and plau-ible manners to keep
Henderson in conversation until the
train had departed He then decoyed
him away from the depot towards Rock
ett’s beyond the city limits, and struck
him with a sluiig-shot on the temple and
knocked him senseless. The penitenti
ary practitioner then rifled the pockets
of his victim of a large amount, took his
entire baggage and then decamped, leav
ing him for dead.
As soon as Henderson recovered ho
notified Chief of Defectives Knox and
Detective Wren, who shortly afterwards
j arrested Champion at Rocketts. He
| was fully identified by Henderson this
! evening. So horrible was the outrage
! that threats of lynching the highway
man were freely made by the oitiz< ns.
JR. is well manacled and closely guara
led in the First Station-house to-night,
and will appear before the Police Justice
, to morrow fur preliminary examination.
Vinnie Ream expects to have better
luck than Mrs. Woodhull at busting
Reecher.
Within little more than three years
New York has lost her tlinc gr r ut
journalists—Henry J. Raymond, James
Gordon ReniMt. and Horace Greeley.

President Grant has just received
from Harvard his diploma as Doctor of
Laws.* It is to be hoped that tlii* pure- j
ly honorary distinction will not induce i
him to make further attempts to doctor i
our laws, as his previous perfotnauees j
in that line have not been particularly j
satisfactory.
A five hundred nnd thirty-eight ounce
gold nugget was lately found in Austra
lia. It was in the wall of an old trench
that was cut about nine years ago, when
a large number of men were at work in
the locality. The successive rain falls
had. with the continuous washing and
crumbling away of the soil, brought this
handsome little fortune into daylight.
A writer in the Missouri Democrat
claims that there has been a falling otf
in the weekly morality li t since the
epizootic set in, and attributes it to the
fact that the doctors can't visit more
that half their patients. This rather
strengthens the satire of Addison, who
said that when a nat ion gets a good many
doctors, it grows thin of people.
The Nashville Banner sav- that Lieu
tenants Ilodgson and Western, in charge
of one hundred and fifiy soldiers of the
Ist Cavalry, passed through Nashville
Thursday afternoon from Louisville via
the Louisville and Nashville and the
Nashville and Chattanooga roads for
Columbia, S. C. They are to bo station
ed at Spartanburg and Yorkville, in
that State

On Friday last a citizen of Danville,
111., was buried. After the funeral had
started a snake of the blue-racer species
was observed following behind. It con
tinued thus to follow until the cemetary
was reached, when the serpent jumped
into the grave and coiled himself around
the box containing the coffin. It there
remained until tuo .-exton dispatched it,
and laid it out upon the ground. A
band of music headed the proce-sion,
and the question is whether it was that
or some other cause which led to thi
singular conduct on the part of t lie snake.

THE ALDJNE,
An Illustrated Monthly Journal, universally a-Lmittcd to
be the Handsomest Periodical in the World. A
Representative and Champion of Ameiican Taste.
Not for Sale it! Hook or News Stores.
THE ALDJNE, while issued with all the
regularity, ha- none of the temporary or timely
.interest ehsrn< teritie of ordin uy pon-lnsd*
It is on elegant miscellany of pare. light, and
graceful literature; and a collection ol'pictures,
the rarest specimens of -artistic skill, in black
and white. Although each succeeding number
affords a fresh pleasure to its friends, the real
value and beauty of The Aldinc will be most ap
preciate 1 after it has boon bound up at the close
of die year. While other publications may claim
superior cheapness. as compared with rivals of a
similar doss, The Aldinc is a unique and original
conception —atone and unapproached—absolutely
without competition in price or character. The
possessor of a complete volume cannot duplicate
the quantity of li e paper and engravings in any
other shape or number of volumes for ten times
its cost; nnd then, there are the chromos. besides!
ART X3
Notwithstanding the increase in the price of
subscription last Fall, when The A!dine assumes
its present noble proportions and representative
character, ihe edition uas more than doubled
during the past year; proving tlittt the Ameri
can public appreciate, and wit! support a sin
cere effort in the cause of Art The publishers,
anxious to justify the ready confidence ~tlius
demonstrated, have exerted themselves to the
utmost to develop and improve th - work ; and
the plans for the coming year, as unfal lei by Ihe
monthly issues, will astonish and delight even
the most sanguine friends of The Aldinc.
Thu publishers aro authorised to announce de
signs from mafiy of the moG eminent artists in
America.
In addition, The Aldine will reproduce ex
amples of the best foreign mast-re, selected with
a view to the highest artistic success, ami great
est general .interest; avoiding such as have be
come familiar, through photographs, or copies
of any kind.
The quarterly tinted plates, for 1873 will re
produee four of John 8 Davis’ inimitable ihiid
sketchc.*, appropriate to tho four seasons. These
plates, appearing in the issues for January,
April, July, an.! October, would be alone worth
tho price of year’s subscription.
Tho popular feature of a copiously illustrated
“Christmas” number will be continued.
To possess such a valuable epitome of tho art
world at a cost so trifling, will command the
subscriptions of thousands in every section of
the country ; but, as the usefulness and attrac
tions of The Aldine can !>e enhanced, in propor
tion to the nuniiii u-iil increase of i's supporters,
tho publishers propose to make “assurance doubly
dupe,” bv the following unparalleled offer of
Prcmlim'(/hromos tor 1873.
Every siibseribar to The Airline, who pays lu nd
vhui-G tor the year J. 573, will receive, without addi
t nnal charge, a pair of beautiful oil chromes, after
.1. J. Hitt, tlie eminent' English painter. The pic
tures, entitled “The Village Belle,” and ‘‘('.rousing
the Moor,” aro 14x20 Inches are printed from 28
different plates, requiring 23 irbpressioim Slid tints
to perfect each picture. TTic same ehromoe are
sold for fOO per pair in the art stores. As it Is tlie
determination of its conductors to keep The Airline
out of the reach of competition In every depart
ment, tho chromos will bo found forrespondlogly
ahead of any tint cm bo offered by other perlodl
c.als. Every subscriber will receive a certificate,
over the siarn it lire of the publishers, euarauteeini;
that the chromos delivered shall be equal to the
samples furnished the agent, or the money will tie
refunded. The distribution of pictures of this grade,
free to the subscribers to a five dollar periodical,
will mark an epoch in thebistory of Art: and,eon
sidering tlie unprecedented ehc-ipm-a of the price
for The Aldine tUalf, tlie inorrei falls bttk- short of
a infracto, even to those be.st acquainted with tho

\\7 K once more earnestly solicit the atteo
; V V tion of our people to the enterprise fur
1 the erection of a monument in honor of the
I Confederate Dead of Georgia and others who
woi e killed or died on Georgia noil. The time
for the distribution is rapidly approaching,
it will take place in this city on the 4th of
December next, Deo Volente. There will
positively he no postponement. All sab*
will stop on the 20th of Novemhei. The
fate of this effort will he decided then. Our
people will exhibit their gratitude for the
bloody sacrifices of their brave defendeis,
or exhibit to the world then cold indiffer
ence. They will exhibit their pride or iu
loss; their appreciation of those who fell iu
service, or a disregard of the noblest saori
tiee which man can make for hia own land,
his people and their homes.
We yet believe the spirits of the dead still
haunt the land they loved and for which
they died. We yet believe that those who
live in these haunts of love will substantially
prove their devotion to the dead “Soldiers
;in Gray.” Hundreds, yea thousands upon
thousands, will wish to become shareholders
in the tribute to their fame between now and
the 20th of November. We most respect
fully request them to reflect. Those ihous
ands of names thrown upon us at the la.-t
moment may so overwhelm us as to make it
impossible to prepare all ot their certificates,
record their names, mail them and prepare
the numbers for the drawing on the 4th of
December. Hence much money may b
