The editor of the Ishmadite has an ap
preciative heart as well as a delicate taste
for the beautiful. Hear him:
Two of our beautiful young ladies were
engaged last week in getting up contribu
tions in money, to send to the sufferers in
Ireland. It was one of those thonghtful
and beautiful acts whicn so well adorn
the character of woman. It is the crown
ing glory of her being that her car is ever
open to the cry of distress.
Tiie Savannah News, of the 25th, says:
On the 13tli instant, Isaiah Withers, a
colored man, died at a house near Mon-
teith station, on the Savannah and
Charleston railroad, under suspicious cir
cumstances, he having stated that he had
been poisoned by a negro mau, whose
name he did not know. The stomach of
the deceased was removed by Coroner
Slieflall and brought to the city for the
purpose of being subjected to a chemical
analysis. Dr. Slieflall called upon Dr. J.
S. Morel to assist him in the examination,
which was conducted in the most thor
ough manner and was finished yesterday.
We are unable at present to state the re
sult of their labors.
A new route from Jacksonville, Flor

consists of the inside route from Savannah
by steamer to Femandina, and thence by

to be known as he “Sea Island Route.”
It will be one of the most pleasant routes
'to the “Flowery Land.”
If the medical colleges continue to in

and yet in the face of all these facts, on
Wednesday last at Savannah, Messrs. A
B. George, Jacob Welchselbaum and R,
S. Sanders stepped up and claimed

Savannah News: Some time since a
valuable cow was stolen from the place of
Colonel Charles H.Oimstead, at Beaulieu,
and inquiries have been quietly prosecut
ed in reference to her disappearance. Re
cently it was discovered that the cow was
in possession of a Mr. Hudson, who stated
that he purchased her from a negro named
Edward Brown. Upon this information
Colonel Olmstead yesterday appeared be-
fqj-e Magistrate Russell and had a warrant
issued against Brown, who was arrested
and required to give bond in the sum of
one thousand dollars for his appearance at
court. Brown states he purchased the
cow from another negro, but this remains
to be proven.
There is to be a Republican mass
meeting in Savannah on next Tuesday
night, “to look after the entire interest of

Georgia is the first State in the South
in point of manufactures. Still there is
room for improvement. Every possible

the South, rather than in other sections of
the country. We help ourselves by help

Very little corn has been planted. April

Hawkinsvir.r.E Dispatch: On Tues
day afternoon, the 23d, a colored woman,
employed as cook for the family of Mr.
C. H. King, oi this place, was instructed
to go down and get a can of kerosene oil.
It seems that there was a small quantity
of oil in the can, which the woman deci
ded to pour in the stove. There was a
fire in the stove, and when the oil was
poured upon it it caused the can to ex
plode, and soon the woman was envel
oped in flames. She ran from the house
across the yard, and before assistance
could reach her, all the garments she had
on were burned from her body. She was
horribly burned, and it is thought her in
juries will prove fatal.

Irwinton* Appeal: Rust is reported
in almost ah the small grain. Some oats
of the rust proof variety, that were sown
early in the fall, are now, it is said, red

The Albany News says: The farmers
of this section, generally speaking, have
purchased enormous quantities of com
mercial manures, and have about finished
hauling it out. Most of the com planted
is now up, and many have plowed it over
the first time. Cotton planting is now
going on, and the area planted is reported
larger than usual. Should a good price
be paid for cotton next fall, all will be
well; but if the price goes down—look out
for trouble. Our planters are all vigor
ously at work. Labor is orderly and sys
tematic, and the present outlook is not
discouraging.
Albany News: As Mr. Butler, mer

The Albany Neics says: The season of
1880 promises to be one of special interest
and profit to wool-growers; and those
who have been fortunate enough to make
their investments in sheep, rather than
stocks and bonds, are masters of the situ
ation.
The present price of the product in the
Albany market averages 40 cents. At
this price it is estimated that growers will
realize near fifty per cent, on their invest
ments, where sheep have been managed
economically and judiciously. The coun
ties of Worth, Colquitt, Mitchel, Baker,
Calhoun, Berrien and Irwin, which are in
easy reach of Albany, promises heavy
supplies this year. The mild winter has
been especially propitious for their sheep,
and Albany should now prepare herself
for liberal prices, complete facilities and
general activity in the trade. There is no
reason why Albany should not handle the
wool productions in eight or ten neighbor
ing counties. It should constitute s
prominent feature of our city’s commerce.

In the Geneva department of theTal-
botton Standard, we find the followiag in
reference to a matter which has caused
considerable comment:
The grand topic of conversation on the
streets as well as by our citizens as those
visiting our town,-is discussing the merits
of the enonnus verdict rendered by thejn-
ry during our late ; court, iu the case pT
W. C. Singleton vs. the Southwestern
railroad company, for damages. And va
rious are the opinions of those who heard
the evidence iu the case. Some think he
ought to have sued for and obtained at
least $50,000; while others think he ought
not to have recovered a cent, as he was
the cause of his own misfortune.
Others think a moderate or reasonable
amount would have been better for Single
ton and the company, as well as the pub
lic generally, and so think we, after pay
ing close attention to the evidence and
the trial. No jury would ever have
thought of rendering such a verdict
against an individual under the same
proof. Railroad companies are corpora
tions, and have no souls, but nevertheless,
they are entitled to the same rights in
our courthouses that individuals are.
Though it is hard to induce the public to
see it in that light. But jurors take the
same oaths iu these cases that they do in
cases between individuals. We think
such verdicts under the circumstances are
simply ridiculous and ought to be set
aside at once, because they are Calculated
to do harm Instead of good to the public.

The Butler Herald furnishes the fol
lowing items:
Mr. C. A. J. Pope sent to our offico last
week the finest stalk of wheat we have
seen or heard of this season, the stalk be
ing about waist high and almost in ftill
bloom, while the stalk presented a large
and vigorous appearance. The wheat
crops generally through the county so far
look promising indeed, especially where
the land has been well fertilized.
It is thought, or rather feared, by many
who are competent to judge that the fruit
crop iu this section will be far less in
quantity than that of last year; if so,
what is to become of some who depend
almost entirely upon the result of the
crop?

From the Marietta Journal we clip the
following sad intelligence:
A gentleman from Pickens county, Ga.,
brings the information of the suicide of
Mrs. Serena Lindsey, which occurred in
that county on last Monday, 22d instant.
She was engaged on that day in her usual
domestic duties,as cheerful as usual,appa
rently with no disturbing troubles to in
cite rashness. Her two children had left
the house for out door work,and were ab
sent for about one hour, and on returning
to the room usually occupied by then-
mother, was horrified to see her lifeless
form dangling by the neck to a rope, fas
tened to a joist overhead.
Our community was shocked last Mon
day evening at the sad intelligence of the
death of Henry M. Wilson, son of Cap
tain J. M. Wilson, of this place. It seems
that quite a number of young men had
agreed to spend the day fishing and duck
hunting, and for that puiposc had repaired
to Mr. Barnes’ mill pond, two miles Irom
town. Henry was seated on one side of
the pond fishing, and some wild ducks
came in sight, and Henry’s attention was
called to the same. His gun was leaning
against a tree, and bh reached and caught
it by the muzzle and pulled it towards
him, and attempted to get up on his feet
at the same time. This action caused him
to push the gun from him, and as he
lulled it forward again, the hammer came
n contact with a bush, the gun fired, and
the load of duck shot entered the pit of
his stomach, making a hole as large as a
silver dollar.
The Savannah Neics says that the
heavy rains above Augusta and the freshet
following combined with the strong north
easterly winds upon the big spring tides,
gave prospects of a general overflow,
At one time early in the morning the

A few years since two men passed
through this county in a wagon loaded
with switches, and drove a good business
in grafting what they claimed to be fine
fruit to trees. Iu due season it was dis
covered that they clipped twiggs from one
orchard to graft on another, and so far
from the fruit being a new variety it was
from a neighbor's orchard.

A correspondent of the Augnsta

The impression prevails generally that
the oat crop has rust. 1 have examined
carefully and find that such is not true so
far as relates to the rust proof variety.
The bottom leaves have had a yellow
tinge resembling ru3t (which has nearly
disappeared) hut it is not rust. \Ve may
therefore expect a fine oat crop from the
rust proof variety sown during the fall
months—September and October. Such,
however is not the case with wheat. That
has rust beyond all doubt.

At a meeting of Georgia delegates, rep
resenting the seaport of Bruuswick, the
city of Macon, and the ling of the Macon
and Brunswick Railroad, held at the Gib
son House, Cincinnati, yesterday, Hon.
D. T. Dunn, of Brunwick, was called to
the chair, and Dr. W. H. Burroughs acted
as Secretary.
The Chairman explained the object of
the meeting—to express appreciation Of
the excursion extended by the Cincinnati
Southern Railroad to the business men of
the South, and appropriate acknowledg
ments for the hospitality so gracefully
manifested by the citizens of tliecity.
Colonel Carey W. Styles, Dr. W. H.
Burroughs, and lion. D. T. Dunn were
appointed a committee to prepare suita
ble resolutions, and have the same pub
lished in the city papers.
The committee reported the following,
which were unanimously adopted:
Besolved, That the hundred and seven
delegates representing the cities of Bruns
wick aud Macon, Georgia, and the Ma
con and Brunswick Railroad, regard the
completion of the Cincinnati Southern
Railroad as the beginning of a new era
for the South and the West, and thegraud
achievement by the pluck and enterprise
of the merchants of Cincinnati as the no
blest effort yet attempted to restore good
will, fraternity, and close commercial ami
social relations between the estranged sec
tions, and that we hail the great concep
tion and triumphant achievements as tiic
harbinger of peace, prosperity, and a glo
rious future to the whole country.
Besolved, That the unparelltled hospi
tality of the citizens of Cincinnati, the
courtesies of the builders and managers of
the Southern Railway, the officers and
members of the Commercial Exchange,
Board of Trade and Transportation, and
managers and committees of the reception
and the banquet at Music Hall, iiavc
placed us under pleasing obligations of
grateful remembrance, and that to the en
tire people of the Queen City of the West
we surrender at discretion, ami with’
