It is stated that Green, of Jones county, killed Ins wife, who was sick, by administering strychnine, mixed with medicine prescribed by her physician.

Except the suspension of Sir Morton Peto «fc Co., of London, a few years ago, no failure of recent date will excite aa much surprise or more comment. The firm of Jay Cooko & Co. has been regarded as one of the strongest financial concerns in tbe world.

Now, if Mr. James will only tell tbe farmer boys how they may be come as wealthy as he has si^ce he left the farm, his address would be valuable indeed. But tbe day proved to be very rainy, in con sequence of which the attendance on the meeting was limited. It was decided to ad journ the meeting until Thursday next, 25th inst., and a committee, consisting of Colonel George N. Lester, Gen. Wm.

It is one I think you should not make without full specifications and proof. I have now asked you no less than three times to specify the charge you have made and you have not done so. Once more then I beseech you, say distinct ly in what your memory differs from mine. I wait your pleasure with profouud respect. Colonel, I am your obedient servant, Benj. D. Lay. Opelika, Ala., August 29, U7J. j Colonel It. D. Lay : Dear Sir: Your favor of tbe 23d reached me only j tc-day. About the same time I received a cote Irom you, sent by a messenger, asking a reply to tbe same. ! I stated to your messenger that I would send you a reply by mail at my earliest convenience. First, then, I h»Te made no charge against you, and a reperuaal of my notes will show it. Second, my memory differed from yours, and I m< u- t oned that fact to you. I am surprised that you should, for a moment, sup pose that it was necessary to sustain your honor that my memory should concur with yours in every par ticular. But to the point. You wish to know wherein my memory differs. In complying with your request I I find it more convenient to s’ate as nearly as 1 can | what I remember of our conversation, and leave you i to judge of the difference: On the evening of the 22d of July, at 8::>L r. m., I j called on you, aud upon your bowing most profouud- ly I stated that my c*11 was informal, and the follow- J ing conversation enmed: Col. Lay (with a low bow)—It gives mo pleasure, sir, to see ycu at any time and in any manner. Hcopnr (with bow equally low)—Allow me, sir, to express an equal pleasure in seeing you. Col. Lay (bow as before)—Will you do me the honor, sir, to be seated. Hooper (bow as bef.»r •)—I will do myself tbe honor, at your request. II. (on taking his scat)—Colonel, will you permit me to inquire where you can be found on or about the 8th day of August? I take the liberty of inquiring be cause Major Waddell’s selected friend is not here, and I do not think that his reply will be ready before that time. Colonel Lay—Major Waddell has certainly the right, under the code, to double tbe time taken by Captain Phillips, but it would suit my convenience better if Major Waddell conlcl reply before my return to At lanta. You a e perhaps aware. Colonel, that my prin cipal, Captain Phillips, is a wealthy man, and I know that Major Waddell is also wealthy, but you and my self are both poor, and it comes very hard on ns to have to make two trip9 here, as it is so expensive. Hooper—I have no doubt that Major Waddell and bis friend will do anything that they can consistently with their own convenience to avoid putting you to expense or inconvenience, and I would suggest that if it is possible, that before we part on our return, after M jor Waddell consults with his friend, that some arrangement may be made to suit the mutual convenience of all parties. Col. Lay—Would you object. Colonel, to iudicitin g wbat weapon Major Waddell will be likely to i spell of ten a welcome ra eral Crash Feared.

There are women groan ing with pain while we write these words, from bruises and brutalities inflicted by hus bands made mad by drink. There can be no exaggeration in any state ment in regard to this matter; because no hu man imagination can create anything worse than the truth, and no pen is capable of por traying the truth. The sorrows and horrors of a wife with a drunken husband are as near the realization of hell as can be reached in tLis world at least. The shame, the indignation, the sorrow, and the sense of disgrace for herself and children, the poverty, and not unfreqnently the beg gary, tbe fear and the fact of violence; tho lingering, lifelong struggle aud despair of countless women with drunken husbands, are enough to make all women curse wine, and engage unitedly to oppose il everywhere as the worst enemy of their sex.—Dr. Holland.

It is believed that Alcoro can beat Ames, if ho gets the solid Democratic vote. Til IG OOVKItNOK AT GREUX8BOHO. So much has been written and said about the Governor’s late speech at Geeensboro, and it has been so miserably garbled, that we give it this morning in a fair and full synopsis. It has been in type for several days, and has been inadvertently left ont up to this time. It will be found to be very interesting and full of useful information. At last the Macon Telegraph has joined tho ranks of those high-toned journals that take news items from tho Herald, and then with sly malice credits them to “an Atlanta paper.” Such journalism will surely meet its reward. Ihe little paper ’round the corner has pre served its dignity for once, iu resisting the temptation to imitate the Herald in its eight- paged paper. It’s teally encouraging to *:ee such a thing. clouds, and objects were quite dim.

The music still con tinued, coming up through the night air in waves of ecstatic harmony. Mr. Forceps sat down on the roof and laboriously worked his way to tbe eaves. Then he lifted himself up to turn over and look down, and just then he stepped on something soft and yielding, felt his teet give, made a desperate clutch at the shingles, was too late, gave a piercing shriek, and shot off the roof and went revolving and howling in among the band, followed by tbe tomatoes, and madly cleaving tho air with his red flannel limbs. Ho struck ou Lis back on the bass-viol, and with on-* leg lore the eotrails Irom nn nc- cordeou, and with the other knocked all the keys from a silver-mounted flute. The man who played the bass viol was driven senseless ! into a pile of pea-brush, aud the flute player, j with bis mouth full of blood and splinters, jumped over the fence and fled.
