House Burned. i Five Children Eiiinnal to i>e:itli —One More Likely to Hie From the Griffin Daily News of yester day wc get tlio following : MURDER. It seems that the mania for killing lias broken out in this region of the country. To the list of casualties elsewhere, we have another to add. It seems that on last Saturday afternoon sonegroes and a white man, a Mr. Jmnard, were returning home in a wagon, when two negroes, Willis Williams and Ellick Harris, in the employ of Messrs. George & Hard nett, on their farm, got into a dispute about which mule could pull the heaviest load. One word brought (m another until they commenced curs ing’ each other, and Willis threat ened to cut Ellick. At this stage of the game the latter drew his knife, and guaging the blade on his finger, stuck it into Williams, striking the heart. This occurred near the residence of Mr. Henry E. Williamson, and the wounded man died in a few minutes. Harris made no effort to escape, hut went home with the corpse. On Sunday morning an inquest was held, Dr. Yarborough attending pliy s'cian, and the jury rendered n verdict that the deceased came to his death from a wound inflicted with a knife in the bauds of Harris. The latter was arrested and lodged in jail in Zebulon, hut was to have been hi ought here last night. Life seems to be getting pretty cheap. DISTIIESSIO AFFAIR. One of the most distressing casualties that it lias been our misfortune to chron icle, occurred on the line of this and Mon roe counties on Saturday night last.—The paticulars as we have heard them are Jas follows : On the night above mentioned, Messrs. Harper Oglctree were packiug cotton, and had a lantern in the gin house. By some means the lantern fell, and setting lire to the lint,burning to death one child of Mr. Green Harper, two of his sister's—Mrs. Gardner, two negro children and burning Mr. Harper severely, also, burning another child of Mr. Harper's so that he can not live. This is by far the most distressing occurrence ever known in our section of the country, and the bereaved families have.the sympathy of every one. The gin-house and six bales of cotton were also comsumed. ANOTHER MURDER. We are informed that some colored,folkß had a social gathering at the house of one of the tenants on Mr. John Purifoy’s farm, about ten miles East of Griilin, on Saturday night. Everything “went merry as a mar riage hell” for some time, when a dispute arose between two of the colored bretliern, and high words passed between them. Be ing unable to “jaw aud cuss” it out, they went for each other, when one of them, Bportingabig cotton bandanna highly scen ted with “cinnamon draps,” seized a chop axe, and knocked the other on the head, in flicting a wound from which we are inform ed he cannot recover. We are unatle to learn whether the party doing the violence was arrested or not. ♦ ♦ A “Harkie” Story. —Railway con ductors, like politicians and preachers, are good subjects for rough jokes, and soon bear them heroically. The best thing we have heard of lately, is told on Captain Harkie, the auburn haired conductor on the M. & W. K. Road. Among his passengers on a recont trip, was a lady—a perfect blue-stocking —who | made an issue with him about her fare, when Captin Harkie informed her that he was simply carrying out the Company’s in structions, and had no discretion in the matter. She replied in a sharp, shrill Voice, which was heard by everybody in the car, that “ this Company shall never have another cent ot my money as long as I live.” —The Captain politely inquired how she could prevent it, as she was often Compelled to ride over the road, when she replied—“ I will pay my money to you or your sort, and I know the company won't get a cent of it.” The passengers let slide a hearty laugli and Captain Harkie retired a “ wiser" man. p> Lowndes county contributes a strange phenomenon in the shape of a pig. Its head, shoulders and foremost parts are perfectly formed. About half way down there is a division of its body and a couple of pairs of hindquarters and a couple of tails perfectly formed, making the rear half of the pig a doublet At the dividing point of the back bone lapping between the two rear portions of its body is a leg reeem King very mucu.an oposums paw.with the exception of claws.

November Id.—Smith & Wesson’s pistol agency was robbed of ! $3,000. The papers hero take a more cheerful view us to the results, financially and j otherwise of the Boston tire. In tlie shoe | and leather trade there is a prevailing im { pressiou that no harmful results to the j trade can follow, as prices wore at a verv I low point before tbe tire. Several Boston men are already here ! who iiave bought new stock, and will re | build immediately. In tlie wool trade it is stated that none of the New York houses are disastrously I aliVcted. The actu and sufferers will he the public i at large, us all kinds of woolen goods will ! lie advanced in price—it is expected from 1 : 30 to 10 per cent. Several New York firms are eongrutu | lating themselves upon the necessary de ■ flection of Hie wool trade from Boston to New York Several New York Detectives have gone to Boston to aid the authorities there in arresting New York thieves. The Bulletin says of tlie wool market, that dealers here, recently sold heavily to Boston meichants, but the wool is still mostly held here, or in in transit—thus es caping destruction. There is only a small amount of Boston paper on account of wool. Transactions are held here and no fears enteituined here that other than a partial suspension of the wool trade for a week is expected, until Hie insurance balance is perfected, when the market will lie more active than before the fin. In the dry goods trade the same paper says there is much uncertainty and confu sion, owing to the non reception of letters from Boston ; but no great uneasiness is manifested. In the bide and leather trade there is an entire absence of any panicky feeling, and the general impression is that the market will simply remain steady. In tbe boot and shoe trade no crises is anticipated—the sentiment being that the Boston dealers are still in good standing, and only an extension of time will be nec essary. Boston buyerS who appeared hero yes terday were cheerfully given all the credit they asked for. Alfairs and Aspects of Boston. Boston, 3 a, m, November 12.—The streets aie now perfectly quiet. Two hundred and fifty mounted soldiers patrol the streets and no one, not having author ity from the commandant, is permitted to pass the lines of infantry ; and one man who attempted to enter a store on Winter street, who refused to leave, after being repeatedly ordered away and started to run when about to be arrested, was shot by the guard. Extensive lines of hose arc stretched all over the ruins and engines stationed at most every hydrant, ready at tlie moment to be worked if occasion should require. Points where persons are known to be buried, the ruins are being cooled with water, preparatory to digging out the corpus of the victims. Immense piles of coal at Russia wharf embracing about 500 tons are still on fire. The city authorities have granted to drygoods merchants tlie privilege of using the common as the repository for such of their property as is saved, and to erect shanties and other structures for tempora ry use. Three men were discoverd in an attempt to break into a room in the Parker House, but made their escape. It is rumored that a drunken wretch late in the evening attempted to set fire to the gas house near Charlestown bridge, but was seized by an infuriated crowd and unceremoniously liung to a lamp post. Three men were buried under a falling wall on Washington street, leaving their heads only visible. The efforts made to rescue them from this horrible position were unavailing, and in a few moments after, tlie remains of tlie wall fell, crushing and burying them from sight. It is estimated that 10,000 girls are thrown out of employment by the lire. It is known that thirty lives have been lost. Detachments of the first and second regiments are quartered in tlie Old Houtli Church. Six men were arrested this morning in the northern part of the city—caught in the act of firing buildings, by kindling bonfires in the rear of them. The streets are patrolled by the mfi’ary. Boston at .llidniKlit. Boston, Midnight, November 12.—The steam engines are busy to night playing on the debris. All the streets leading thereto are strictly guarded.

C., November 12, — I The presence of auriferous metals in Vir ! gicia in the neighborhood of the Potomac. Rappahannock and other streams, as well an iu the foot hills of the Blue Ridge, has long been known ; but the location of a permanent quartz mine or reef, has not been thoroughly demonstrated until lately. i For a year past parlies of experience have MACON, GA., WEDNESDAY; NOVEMBER 13, 1872. been engagei in developing a mine near J Kelley's Foi . Five miles from Hnppa | ban nock station, in the neighborhood of a | well known place for deposits, they have found a serin of well delined gold-hearing veins, located in a mound three-fourths of a mile from t lie river. The surface rock of the decomposed quartz bears a strict resemblance to tiro ore taken out in the richest districts of California. A shall cigiity feet deep cuts three veins at a depth of fifteen, forty five and seventy-five leet, yielding rock worth from $(>l) to $1(10 per ton The deposit seems to he a basin of veins, showing full gold with carbonates, and not sulphates. Three tunnels are now being worked through rich rock, and everything gives the evi dence of permanency. Ho Panic—Kry/.aiiovxaki Vp (tointcil Tri'iisury Agent— Mail Service. The Assistant Secretary of-tlie Treasu ry, after consultation with New York merchants, thinks there' will lie no panic or material interference of the business ! occasioned by the Boston lire. Gen.

Slade as receiver of the International In surance Company. The Cashier of the Gold Exchange Bunk is a defaulter to the amount of $15,000. London Press on liic Boston Con flagration. London, November 12. All the Lon don morning papers express the deepest sympathy for the sufferers by the confla gration in Boston. They attribute the great disaster to bud management of the lire department, police and municipal uu thortics of the city. The Standrad says : “ The Boston fire is a scandalous outrage on civilization, and an evidence of a most inefficient city gov ernment.” By way of showing superiori ty—in a case ike that of the Boston fire— of a small, well organized Fire Depart ment over a targe, hut badly managed onc.it comperes the small London lire brigade and narrow, crooked streets, and alleys of this city, where fires seldom got beyond the buildings wherein they origi nate, to the thousands of undisciplined firemen, huge granite structures and open places in Boston. “There,” it says “ the best portion < f the cily was destroyed for want of good management to prevent the progress of the flames, which were finally stopped by gin powder ; and this wretch ed business was entrusted to volunteer citizens instead of skilled operatives.” It is believed here that the amount of insurance in London companies, upon property in the burnt district of Boston, is $2,500,000. A commissioner is to he sent to Boston by the London companies to make an investigation of tlio facts in rela tion to the origin and progress of the con flagration, as a matter of general impor tance to insurance interests.
