Tho same paper says two young “ladle*'

A warrza in the Georgian who don’t like the

of this State to the other, it !■ a pitable object
for the contempt and ridicule of ita foe*, and
for tbe astonishment and pity of iu friends.'
Which shows that the writer don’t read the
papers. We have witched the remit very close
ly in every connty where it has been tried, and
the results, without exception, have been emi
nently satisfactory in all of them. Perhaps the
writer was an nnsooeessfnl applicant for the
position of Jndge, or it interferes with some of
hla perquisite*.
We are indebted to the Monroe Advertiser of
yesteiday, for the following items :
Lccxx.—We understand that a gentleman of
our town was tbe In-ky drawer of thirteen hun
dred dollars in the Kentnoky Lottery.
Fioubes Show.—Thera is now employed in
the various Improvements abont town, an sver-
ase of 98 workmen, at an average ooat of $1,
000 per week.
Barx —Onr farmers and eilizens were made

ing rain. The rain was general over the coun
try. and will be of great benefit to the county.

“laid 100 eggs this spring, and hatohed 21

weeks.
Mranza.—A negro man by the name of Lewis
Shannon ms found dead on tha planUtion of
Ura. A. D. Steele, six miles east of Forsyth, on
8nnday. His throat was ont from ear to ear.
and his skull was fractured by the stroke of
some heavy instrnment. The whole matter is
wrapt in complete mystery. No dne to the
parties committing tbe crime, or the oansea in
ducing it. Since writing the above the Coro
ner has informed as that the jnry holding the
inquest returned a verdict that Lewis Shannon
was mnrdered by unknown parties.
Flutters’ Bank.—We are glad to Irani that
tbe establishment of the above named bank is a
“fix'd fact.” Major B. Pye, nnder whose di
rection tbe bank is being organized, informs ns
that $84,500 of the capital stock haa been taken.
Tbe charter requires that $100,000 shall be
aubaeribed before the organization. It is be
lieved that tbe remaining amount, whioh is
small, will be taken in a few days.
How to Keep Weevils Out or Gonx.—Upon
the anthority of CoL Jus. Wilson, of Decatnr
county, the Biinbridge Democrat publishes the
following:
Plaoe common sheepskins, with wool on them,
in yonr corn cribs at the rate of one skin to 300
bnabeis of oora. and yonr grain will never be
destroyed by weevils. Strange as it may ap
pear, it is nevertheless a fact.
Esoifed raost Jan..—The Atlanta Constitu
tion of yesterday says on Saturday night last
Thomas Ware, who has been oonflned in Ds-
Kelb connty jail for many months, suoceeded
in effecting bis esoape, by boring through tbe
doors, taking off looks, eta. He exhibited
great ingenuity in his movements judging by
the marks left behind him He evidently had
tools to work with. The Sheriff was nBing every
effort Sunil iy and yesterday to asoertaio his
hereabouts, but without success. Ware, it
will be rooolieoted, killed a man named Wam-
mock in the upper part of DeKalb county, and
was himself severely wounded. At ths last
session of DeKalb Superior Court, bis case was
taken np for trial and a jury empanneled.—
Ware, however, was in such a feeble condition
that he conld not go on with the trial, and it
had to be continued.
Last Week’s Cetlsn Figaros.
The New York Financial and Commercial
Chronicle of Satnrday reports cotton reoerpts
of the seven days ending Friday night, Jniy
11th, at 15.181 bales against 12,423 bales last
week, 17.6SC bales the previous week and
19.G72 bales three week3 since, making tbe to
tal receipts since the first of September, 1872.
3,533,635 bales against 2.C99.925 bales for tbe
rame period of 1871-72, showing an increase
since September 1,1872, of 833,710 bales.
Tba receipts at the seven interior ports were
2,336 bales against 604 daring the correspond
ing week of lest year. Shipments 6,595 against
1,610—stock 31 390 against 10.466. The Chron
icle's table of Visible Supply shows 2,537,474
bales against 2.629.259 last year and 2,378,366
the year before, indicating a falling off of 91,785
bales from last year’s supply. Liverpool
quotation of middling opiands last Friday night
wa* 8}3 against 1C; 1 Ust yesr snd 9@9£I the

Chronicle upon
The 8itc*tiox.—Our readers are aware that
during tbe past few weeks there has been a se
vere oontest going on in tbe ootton market
between the operators for higher snd lower
prices. The bulla hold a large number of con
tracts tor Jniy and /.ecu it, ned believed that
there was not encash deliverable ootton tn the
country to fill th-m. T) make the matter
donbly sane they have been shipping to Liver,
pool considerable lota—in faot it is said they
shipped all that was tendered to them. As
SOfo. here is equivalent to lOji. sold, including
only id. freight and tbe nanal charges, the loss
to the shipper is over $12 per bale, even pre
suming that onr low middling wiU go middling
then, which ia donbtfnb Bnt however great
the loss ths bolls oonaidered that it wonld be
more than made good to them in the higher
prices they would secure on tbe maturing con
tract* they hold. Tbese facta becoming known
to the bears they organized also; first, they re
solved to sell no m .re oontraois for July or Au
gust unless thev had or could get tha cottou
against it; -and seoond, thev agreed to de
liver the ootton on all oontrao's sold for July,
forolng the bulls to store or ship, or sell
and break the market. Here was cer
tainly a very square fight, snd whioh way
the soaiea would turn, appeared to out
siders doubtful. The improving crop reports,
however, seem to have given the advantage to
the bears. In view of them, all legitimate de
mand for ootton oeaaed; spinners did not want
It at the ruling prices, and shippers oonld do
nothing in the faoe of our higher rates. Hence
there was plenty of ootton for delivery, and it
tnrned in pretty freely; in faot, street re
port says that one of the contending parties is
now crying “hold, enough.” Just at this point
appears a letter from Mr. B. F. Nourse, of Bos
ton, advising spinners, in view of the unsatis
factory condition of the goods trade to abnt np
tbeil mills, making their summer vacation a
month longer than nanal, and intimating that
they might sell their present stock of ootton,
as it seems to be in inch demand in New York
and bny it in at a very much lower rate later on.
This letter hss added another element of weak
ness to the market, and altoge'hor tbs eitnation
at present is a little shaky. Aa legitimate trade,
both in raw material and in goods, is suffering
from the effects of tbe present cornering opera
tions, no outside sympathy ia felt for the losing
side. Thera is a moral to oar little story, but
we think we will defer it.
The Chroniole’s weather reports for tbe week
are very favorable—showers, bnt no heavy
rains. New Orleans and Mobile report rain on
one day. Seims and Mioon had bat one rain
daring the week. Golambne had none. Dry
weather was reported in Angn-ita and rain was
muoh wanted at Memphis. Charleston and
Nashville had one rain. Oindition of the oot
ton crop generally favorable. Mercury aver
aged 86 at Memphis. 90 at Columbus, 87 at
Maoon, 85 at Savannah, 86 at Mobile and 88 at
Selma.
New York ootton market very dull and quota
tions reduced Ja. on Wednesday—prioas nomi
nal since that dsy.
The Griffin News, of yesterday, has the fol
lowing:
Tn* Cm of Gcirrix Sued for $10.000—
The Facts ox Which it is Based —On Fri-
day eveninglSBt, a writ, being an action on the
oiue for damages, was filed in the olerk’e office
of Spalding Superior Oonrt claiming damages
to tbe amonnt of ten thontand dollars. The
facts are abont these as alleged and aa we can
gather them: Some time sinoa a gentleman of
this city wanted to hire a dray to do some ser
vice tor him, and the drayman being engaged
or unwilling to do It, he mounted it and drove
off and banled what be wanted. Upon his re-
tnrn be was seized by two policemen and hur
ried off to ths guard house snd lodged in it
While on their way ono of the moat responsible
men in the city offered tn give bond in any
amonnt or to deposit one hundred dollars cash
ns security for his appearance at any time they
might demand his presence. These offers
were refnsed, and he was locked np, and In an
boor alter by order of nemo superior officer of
tbo city, he was released and no oharges were
ever preferred against him, and thus the matter
ended. He now brings this salt, and tbe resnlt
will be looked for with considerable Interest,
nv deciding whether a man can be locked np on
any and every pretax*, and e«pecially how far
the city can go in confining a man in tha guard
honae.
The Atlanta Herald people most bestir them
selves, or else thev will lose all the benefit of
that “largest circulation.” That paper fails
almost every other day to reach this point the
day of publication. Tbe Savannah Nears’

AN I*SANK nORDERESA
She Carries About With Her and Eats
Every Day Some of abe Blood of Her Tie-
aim.
Tho latest sensation in New Yoik and Brook
lyn is tbe discovery of the murderess (Kate
Stoddard) of Charles Goodrich, who was found
dead in bis honse in the latter city months
slnoe, and whoso arrest and confession, with
variona other details, have already been fur
nished by telegraph. The following phase of
the tragedy is fonnd in a New York dispatoh of
Satnrday to the Western press:
The Brooklyn Eagle says, regarding the ap
pearance of the prisoner, it took bnt few mo
ments to create among bystanders the impres
sion that they were looking npon an Insane
w.imon. and thi* woman ia undoubtedly insane,
it ordinary indications of lnnacy are to be re
lied npon. She sat there for fall half an honr
smiling and ohatting p eaaantly, a strange, wild
light beaming from her eye all the while. It
was impossible to oonverse with her, although
she talked sensibly enongb, without being
almost absolutely convinced of her insanity.
Mias Handley in an interview with a reporter
stated that tbe prisoner was aix yean ago a lu
natic. and was an inmate of the lonatie asylum,
and that imanltv was caused by disappointment
in love. Tbe Eigle also says that when the
chief of polico asked her to hand him a locket,
which is a very large one, she was at first loth
to comply, but seeing that resistanoe was use
less, she passed it over. On receiving it, the
chief took bold to open it “Oh! b« careful,
be cartful," said she. “There ia a mineral In
that which I don't want to lose." Despite the
utmost care, however, a little portion of tbe
mineral, as she called it, fell upon the floor and
this, to the chief’s surprise, she picked np
oromptty and and put it in her month and swal-
owedit. “What did yon do that tort” said
the chief. Looking steadily into his eye she
said: “That is Charles Goodrich's blood,” and
ante enough npon closer examination the locket
was fonnd to be filled with congealed blood. A
few questions elicited the fact that on leaving
Goodrich’s home Friday morning, aha had
taken away with her a cupful of blood, which
had oozed from his brain. This blood oongsal-
ed and she had been eating a little every day
r.nce the time of the tragedy till now. -

now s Digger “Injun” Dines.
A California correspondent of the New York
Tribnne writes as follows:
Biding through the foot-hills, near Rocklin, I
saw a curious and unexpected sight. There are
still a few wretched Digger Indians in this part
of California; end xhst I saw was a party of
these engaged in oatching grasshoppers, whioh
they boil and eat. They dig a number of fnnnel-
shsped holes, wide at tbe top, and eighteen
inehes deep, on a oieared apaoe, and then, with
rags and brash, drive the grasshoppers toward
these holes, forming for that pnrpose a wide
eirole. It is slow work, bnt they seem to de
light in it; and their exoitement was great as
they neared the circle of holes and the insects
began to hop and fall Into them. At last there
was a dose and rapid rally and half a dozen
bushels of grasshoppers were driven into the
holes; whereupon, fists, aprons, bigs and rags
were stuffed in to prevent tha multitudes from
dispersing; and then began tbe work of piok-
ing them ont by handfnls, crushing them rougbly
in the hand to keep them qniet, and crowding
them into the bags in whioh they were to be
oarried to their raneheira. “Sweet, ail same
pudding,” cried an old woman to me, as I stood
looking on It is not a good year tor grasshop
pers this year; no, they like the year ot whioh
an inhabitant of Roseville spoke to me later in
tbe day. when he said, “they ate np every bit of
bis garden track and then sat on the fenoe and
asked him for a obew of tobaooo.”

Corros ix Caujoaxia.—A considerable in
crease is reported in the cultivation of ootton in
California this year compared with last, induced
by the sneoess of former experiments in the
cultivation of this staple* One of tbe advan
tages of ootton culture in California is, it gives
employment to a Urge number of men in tbe
spring and fall season, when they cannot get
work in the grain fields, the crop being “laid
before harvest commences, aud ready to
gather in September and Ostobcr, between the
close of the harvest season and tbe beginning
of the fall rains. Sinoe the experiment was first
tried in Mercer oounty there has been no failure
of the crop, the trial on the Mariposa Creek
plains last year proving eminently successful,
laying the farmers who introduced it there so
arge a profit that they have this year planted
six hundred sores, an increase of five hundred
acres on last year's planting.
The Isdiax* Kuklcx.—-According (o the

Three men were banged on a bsach-tree in the

tween Gonrtland and Freetown, in what ia
known as the White Creek Slashes. Shortly af
terward two men were hanged on Ihe besch-
tree frem the limbs of which three men before
then had stranvied to doaih. Four men were
banged in Floyd oounty jail at New Albany.
Taro men were strangled to death on the Lost

. NIGHT DISPATCHES.
Department or A srricnltaro Report.
Washington, July 15.—The reports of the
eondi|ion of tbe oottton orop to the Depart
ment of Agrioultnre for July 1st indicated as
follows: Owing to causes reported ia Jane the
crop is generally from two to four week3 later
throughout the cotton States. The weather was
unprecedentedly wet for a period varying from
25 to 35 days, ending about the 25th of June.
The area of cotton planted was sufficient to tax
tbe available labor to the ntmost under the
most favorable circumstances, consequently
the excessively wet weather preventing work
and stimulating grass and weeds has not only
caused poor stands and a grassy and otherwise
unfavorable condition quite genorally, bnt bas
necessitated the abandonment of large portions
of tbe area planted—probably nearly enough
to bring the average down to what it was last
year. The reports, with rare exceptions, are
despondent in tone and picture a somewhat
gloomy prospect. Doubtless the majority fall
in with the common tendency to exaggerate
the bad effects npon crops of unfavorable
weather prevailing in ths present, and to under
rate the future chances of recuperation. From
these effects the reports show generally that the
favorable weather in tho last days of Jane was
having the effeot to change the condition some
what rapidly for the better. Ootton worms,
caterpillars and lice bad made their appearance
in small numbers at several points, but aa yet
had not occasioned muoh apprehension of seri
ous damage.
The average condition for tbe ootton States,
not counting Virginia, made np from all tho
eonnties reported, was 895 in detail. Tbe con
dition reported by figures gives tho following
result:
Virginia—Ten oounlios reporting—average
condition 108; two being placed at 100, six
above, two below.
North Carolina—Forty-three counties—aver
age 91; fourteen at 100, seven above, twenty-two
below.
South Carolina—sixteen counties—average
82; Lanrens 100, all others below.
Florida—ten eonnties—average 99; three at
100, three above, four below.
Georgia—fifty-eight counties—average 94;
seventeen at 100, ten above, thirty-one below.
Alabama—thirty-six counties—average 85;
Bix at 100, three above, twenty seven below.
Mississiopi—thirty eonnties—average 83;
eight at 100, two above, twenty below.
Louisiana—nineteen counties—average 80;
one at 100. three above, fifteen below.
Texas—fifty counties—average 78; two at
100, eight above, forty below.
Arkansas—twenty-nine eonnties—average
106; nine at 100, fonr above, sixteen below.

96; seven at 100, five above, twelve below.
