I* juid if (,1,13 is ns it should be, we are frank to confess we cuu see no objection. The M> otta Journal learns that a sad aud f„(,,i accident occurred to Mr. \V m. i’age, who resided near Heard’s store in Dawson county, on the 21>th ultimo, Mr. A. J. Kelley recently erected anew circu lar saw on Yellow Creek, near the Chero kee line, and-Mr. Page, having never seen a circular saw in operation, went put on and the saw had out off the lirst slab, Mr. Pago and his neighbor, Mr. Neloius, picked up the slab to carry it off, when the saw caught the slab and jerked Mr Page against the saw which inflicted n wound that killed him instantaneously. The saw struck him between the point of his right shoulder and neck, ripping his body open to the lower part of his breast bone, exposing his lungs, while the quiv ering flesh was covered with his life’s blood. A telegram to tho Atlanta Jlerahl an nounoos that cotnmeucemeut day of the C "State University was garnished by some artistic rope-walking by Professor Hal | wick, and adds: "Immense enthusiasm f prevails. ’ Albany has a rifle team. Now that Colonel lUeckley, of Atlanta, h isn't anything to do but play with the other Judges of the Supreme Court, we trust he will inaugurate a series of ( dactyllic diversions. That is to say, we hope ho will teach tho Atlanta poets something about rhyme and metre. An Augusta poet writes to ask if it is proper to allude to "the rare sunlight which nature spun.” We suppose so. "Spun” is good considering the fact that poets, from time immemorial, have al luded to the sun as the great loom inary. The LaG range lUporter hints that we have no right to spell “Louisiana" with a final r. Will tho point out an attempt on our part to prevent it from spelling a won! precisely ns it pleased ? (Prof. J. Taylor, of Madison, a sort of religious poet, sends us an effusion en titled “The Christian’s Abricate,” with tho request that we publish. The l’rofes gor is informed that we will print his poem at the rite of nine dollars a line cash in advance. In addition to this, the professor would have to explain in a foot | note how it is that he is “so low beyond ■Mho glittering sun.” The editor of the Greenville Vindicator nays that if a fire were to break out in the Lunatic Asylum, he would inquire into the cause, and auk why there wasn’t water enough on hand to squelch it. tVith such coolness as this the weather can’t be very warm in Meriwether. A citizen of Atlanta says he wants to die and he buriad away from home, so that the poets of that town won t attack his memory. I Job Alston is away up on the Hudson making inflation speeches. Augusta had a horrible suspicion the other day that ahe was harboring Niles G. Parker, the South Carolina refugee— hut she wasn’t. The Rockdale Ite/jister continues to an nounce, with unabated vigor, that Dr. Hbaver has taken charge of the editorial department. Mr. J. G. Parks has withdrawn from the Dawson Journal, leaving Captain Weston sole editor. Richmond county announces with something like a flourish, that she has shipped nearly one hundred and sixty five thousand watermelons to different points this season. The Atlanta Grange complacently re marks that it isn’t a newspaper that Hannibal Kimball edits, hut the editors themselves. Oh, the naughty man! A colored stabbing affray was the only sensation in Jefferson county last week. The editor of the Greenville Vindicator seems to be making tremendous exertions to fit his head to the cap erected for the Hon. Potiphar Peagreen, of Tugaloo. Wherefore? The Augusta physicians are talking about fixing up a pretty little monopoly with tkdruggists of that city, whereby the long suffering citizens are to be milked of fees every time they want to clean their finger nails There are eight hundred and ten peni tentiary convicts in Georgia, one-tenth of whom are white. Gen. Garlington’s new drama is called “A Fatal Marriage.” Crops in Terrell county are not prom ising. Matt O’Brien is about to publish anew railroad paper. Gon. Joseph E. Johnston has formally declined tho Presidency of the Arkansas Industrial University. The revenue officers have been raiding in Hart county. Crops in Hart county are good. Tho Gainsville Herald, which seemed to be in the sere and yellow leaf for the past two weeks, has expired. Gainesville is prouder of her chicken trade than of her cotton trade. 9 A gold mine in White county will soon he worked. The dwelling-house of Mr. Charles E. Irvin, of Wilkes county, was destroyed by lire recently. Mr. F. G. Colley, of Wilkes county, was thrown from a mule the other day and his skull was fractured. At last ac counts there were no unfavorable symp toms, but the injury will probably prove fatal. The most prominent candidate for Governor of Georgia within our recol lection is Mr. Joseph I*. Deadwyler, of Elbert county. The Gazette says he has been farming thirty-live years, and dur ing that time lias never bought a single pound of moat, and but eight barrels of corn —which was soon after the war. How many can show such a record ? He had threshed this spring no less than three hundred bushels of wheat, but he is now using, and will be for somo time, his last year’s crop. Oats are plentiful with him. He raises his own stock, which is fully equal to that brought from Tennessee and Kontuoky. Colonel 11. Wiggletail Grady despises the man who parts his name in the middle. Since the Colonol has begun to odit the Herald and the Kirkwood Mu tuals, he is stauding somewhat on his dignity. This is well. The Thomasville Times hopes that a special premium for the best five bales of cotton will be offered by the South Geor gia Agricultural and Mechanical Associa tion. Thomas county has had copious show ers recently. Thomasville has had her first bale of cotton. It was raised by Captain E. T. Davis and General Vaughn. The editor of the Wayne Triumph has boon ill. The section around Jesup, although the drought has been very severe, hopes to make an average crop. Crops in Jasper county are exceedingly good. The Thomasville Times wants the farmers in that section to plant more oats. A colored female in Wayne county re cently gave birth to a baby weighing twenty-four pounds. Cottou is opening rapidly in Oglethorpe county. Valdosta roceived her first bale of the now crop from across the Florida line. The Valdosta Times remarks : “Senator Norwood’s remarkable address at Oxford promises to attract as much attention as his famous oration on ‘ l'lie Civil Eights Bill’ and ‘Louisiana.’ ” Hancock county has 33,359 aores in ootton and 31,180 in corn. Mr. M. H. Sandwich, a young lawer of Thomaston, Su a very brief and pointed salutatory announces that ho has pur chased an interest in the Herald. A servant girl in Columbus has con fessed to an attempt at incendiarism. At some points adjacent to Columbus no rain has fallen since May. The last of the Uohees died in Pulaski the other day. His name was Indian Sam. It gratifies us to learn that Governor Smith has appointed Colonel Peterson Thweatt to take charge of the State ar chives remaining at Milledgeville. Hon. B. H. Hill is said to be ill. Mrs. James O. Jelks, Jr., of Hawkius ville, died in Atlanta the other day. A rattlesnake seven feet long was killed near ferry the other day. Appliug couuty wants anew jail. Crops in Pulaski oounty are fair to middling. A sixty pound watermelon has been un coupled in Atlanta. Buena Vista is soon to have anew paper. It will be edited by Mr. A. M. C. Russell, late of the Albany Central City. Atlanta Herald: Yesterday we saw the machinery, etc., for producing motive power, which is the result of the inge nuity and skill of M r - J. B. Curtis, at No. * 287 .West Peters street. He has two sheet-iron air chambers ele ven inches by two feet in length, con nected by rubber tubes, and which con nect to a small cylinder. But as Mr. Curtis requested us not to give any of the details of his machinery, we will simply say that we saw it working. He has adapted it to street cars, and intends to apply it to them so that a boy cau run the oar with the greatest ease. The machinery is all to bo placed under the ear and out the way. The boy will be required to regu lator the speed, occasionally pump a little air into the cylinders and collect fare. It is so arranged that when the car is run ning down hill, of its own motion, it will of itself pump air into the chambers. This will just suit Atlanta, where the street-car line runß up and down hill. Mr. Cprtis has taken measures to secure a patent right. He also intends, pro vided he can get the megns, to build a sample street car with all his machinery attached, for the purpose of testing it. Florida Affairs. We regret to learn tnat Mr. W. W. Keep, Jr., editor of the Live Oak Time*. had his right hand so severely Injured re cently while handling a vicious horse that he has been unable to issue bis paper since. The Timet, however, will be out next week as lively as ever. A bill sent by express to the New York agents of the “Great" Southern Railway in New York comes back endorsed “frauds." What will the festive Haas do about it? Dennis, noblest of statesmen, is whiling away a few hours at the North. Senator Jones is loitering among the mountain breezes of Winchester. What is the Florida Conference of the Methodist Chnrcb, South, going to do about the Live Oak charges against Rev. Dr. Hicks ? It is due alike to both the Church and Mr. Hicks that the charges be investigated all round. Nothing short of a tin-shop will satisfy the cravings of Palatka. Orange county is to have another Fruit Growers’ Association. The copy of last week's Palatka Herald intended for this office has evidently fallen into the hands of the aborigines. There will be hack communication be tween Halifax and Volusia next winter. The Union hints that Florida railroads are ran on two gauges—broad gauge and mortgage. Can this be a dig at the insti tution which the lamented Alberger is fanning into warmth and life? The Count Johannes B’Gormanne should leave his rice mill and hie to the relief of his orange grove. It is reported that the Dunn’s Lako region is gradually drying up. If this should happen—which, kind Heaven forbid —what will the Count do for a wigwam in which to winter his squaw—when he gets one ? A Florida imitation tiger was recently killed on Santa Fe Lake. The tiger was not to blame. Manatee county owes no man a farth ing and has over a thousand dollars in her breeches pockets. Mrs. Jane Lucas, of Palatka, is dead. They still have an occasional dance in Fernandina. Perspiration has no terrors for them. We hear nothing from Magbee since he got hold of a newspaper. He needn’t be stuck up about it. It’s our treat. Hillsborough county only needs the services of one-fourth of one doctor. The Union is of the opinion that Flori da’s greatest industry is her lumber in terests. We thought it was her restless fleas. Borne of the Florida Radicals charge the Democrats with the assassination of Dr. Johnson. Well, while the Democrats have got their hands in, why don’t they go to work on some of the material left ? If Stearns were to have a congestive chili, McLin would swear that Dyke had put a spider in his Accidency’s dumpling. Jacksonville Union : Bottles drawing fourteen inches have been known to pass over St. John’s bar. The Mayor of Lake City has returned from the North. Enterprise has had no rain in six weeks. Falatka eats Concord grapes at ten cents a pound. Gainesville is on the improve, so to speak. There is a Fruit Growing Club in Ala chua, and to offset it Col. A. Organum Wright,of the Jacksonville Union, has or ganized a Fruit Eating Club. There was a fight as to who should be President, but the Colonel finally succeeded in biting his opponent’s ear off, and was duly installed. The Union pines to see an agricultural club in every county in the State. But this is impossible. In some counties there are barely enough people to elect Sturtevant, Hicks and those fellows to the Legislature. A farmer in Columbia county has this year tried planting on green timbered land. He sowed two acres of corn, and will make thirty bushels to the acre. A rather curious fact in the same connec tion is, that last year he planted an acre of the same kind of land in rice, which failed to come up, but this year has sprung up thick and is growing finely. Mr. James M. Gilbert and Miss Belle Reynolds, of the Gilbert Sisters’ troupe, were married in Jacksonville the other day. The Nets South says that Hicks’s reply to the charges in the Live Oak Times was lame and impotent. Well, now, if Hicks gets after Adams, there will be a lively old tussle. The young Oxendine brothers were ar rested in Jacksonville the other day on a charge of murdering a man in Orauge county named Dillard. Here is another warning to the Count Johannes B’G. Lake Monroe is a foot lower than ever before known. A blind horse in Tallahassee that had spent a life-time in turning a left-handed bark mill killed himself the other day when they put him to turning one that went to the right. This should be a warning to owners of horses and bark mills. Captain Jas. 11. Bull, of Tallahassee, an old and esteemed citizen, died of paralysis the other day. The sweet potato crop in Leon county will be a comparative failure this season. The Jacksonville Union says that there are many who fear that the long con tinued drought will greatly affect this year’s crop of oranges. We learn that already many upon the trees, although only half grown, are beginning to turn in color and ripen prematurely. Should we have a few heavy rains the probabilities are that great numbers would swell rapidly and split, while the remainder are likely to be much smaller than usual. Tallahassee is endeavoring to inveigle somebody into a chess tournament. The Floridian invites the attention of the Post Office Department to the deplor able condition of the mail service in Florida. The Superintendent of Education for Calhoun county is dead. There are some subjects upon which the paragrapher of the Union doesn’t joke—as witness this-. “Few papers in the South caw hojd a candle to the Daily Savannah News as a newsy jour nal. Every department is well up to the times.” We have appointed Judge Wright, of the Union, a committee of one or more to see that Monticello has a fair this fall. Between his efforts and those of Colonel Fildes, something is bound to happen. Silicum is found in large quantities in Hillsborough county. The Union learns from the Deputy United States Marshal that he tracked the suspected murderer of Dr. Johnson to Wayne county, Georgia. He crossed the river at King's Ferry and proceeding eastward, stated that he was leaving Jack sonville on account of a political imbroglio, and was enquiring for land on which to locate in Wayne county. He gave his name as Henderson. The Marshal was compelled to desist from the pursuit by his horse giving out. On the same day of the murder a man was noticed near Sanderson, about fifty miles from the scene of assassination, who rode a mare instead of a horse, and suspicion points to him strongly as the possible perpe trator. He has not been observed iu that vicinity singe the killing. The Rev. W. W. Hicks says his life has been threatened by the bloodthirsty i Florida Democrats. This is too bad. Judge Wright, of the Union, is loafing ‘on the St. John’s. He has withdrawn from society for a few weeks, for the pur pose of perfecting the programme of his new conservatory party of music. There is a little flame in the forests of ; Volusia. Mr. John W. Howell has been ap pointed Deputy Collector of Internal | Revenue in place of Johnson, deceased. His headquarters are at Sanderson. Madison county will make a fair corn crop. Jacksonville Union : “Killing an oc casional beef does not constitute a man a butcher, especially if he is a poor widow who sells a part to get some knitting needles, but if he does nothing else, then he is a butcher, with all that the name implies.” Captain J. L. Inglis, of Madison county, has raised 1,010 pounds of hay on one-tenth of an acre. The Jacksonvillians were astonished the other day by the presence of a white rat in their midst. The boy that was swallowed by an alli gator in Columbia county recently, has turned up. A colored Savannah girl made it lively for the Rev. Dennis Fuller, colored, the other day. She accused the Rev. Dennis of playing the role of Beecher. There were only eight deaths in Jack sonville in July. Mr. G. M. Jack, telegraph operator at Bronson, is dead. Palatka lifts up her voice and clamors for a palmetto paper mill. Nineteen hundred acres of land around Lake Jackson have been thrown open for homestead entry. Tho Pensacola Telegraph Company is extending its lines. The Pensacola Gazette will shortly be issued as a daily. The dog-killing season has begun in St. Augustine. Work on the new convent at St. Au gustine is going forward. The old market at Jacksonville has been torn down. Monticello (Jefferson county) Constitu tion: “Some time ago, a lazy, trifling negro vagabond was in the habit of in vading the premises of a Mr. Dennard (a white tenant of Mr. Asa May), interfer ing with his employes and creating dis satisfaction among them. Mr. Dennard warned him several times to keep away from his premises, but he disregarded his kind admonitions, and the gentleman was forced to resort to harsher means, where upon the offended negro consulted with His Honor George Hadley, and the result was the issuing of a warrant for the ar rest of Mr. Dennard for "assault and bat tery. Soon thereafter a black con stable with five assistants, all well armed, went to Mr. Dennard’s residence, entered the house in a boisterous manner, and brutally dragged forth their victim, and forced him to walk thirteen miles, to the headquarters, where his sable majesty was eusconsed behind an almanac, awaiting the arrival of his daik brigade. Of course the wit nesses had all been prepared in advance, and after they had recited their several lessons, the prisoner asked for a stay of proceedings, to enable him to procure witnesses in his defence. This was an unexpected request, and if granted would delay the payment of cost,and Ilis Honor, after scratching his empty cranium, con. eluded that any postponement of the investigation would not be right, but rendered the solemn decree, that if the prisoner was willing to pay the cost of the proceedings thus far—nine dollars— he would quash the warrant. Tho money was paid, but Justice of the Peace Had ley will, in all probabil ty, get himself into hot water in consequence. He had no right to compromise a criminal prosecu tion and compound a crime for a conside ration. The courts will investigate the little matter. Hadley, however, is an ignorant colored man, and should not be censured so much as the Governor who appointed and keeps him in a position he is incompetent to discharge the duties appertaining to. The Western Floods. One year it is war, another year it is fire, and yet another it is flood or famine; so goes the world, but it always goes forward. This year it is flood. From the Danube to the Mississippi people would be as happy and as prosperous as the beneficence of nature could make them if it were not for the floods. But both in Europe and America the floods have come, and they have chosen the most unseasonable time of the year for their coming. The sting of the recent disasters in France was that thousands of people whose homes and whose lives survived the inundations which destroyed the lives and the homes of so many, were left penniless and dependent upon charity for food by the destruction of their growing crops. The extent of this destruction in France and of similar destruction in Eng land is best realized by the influence upon the grain markets of Europe and the con sequent brisk demand for American grain to supply the losses. And now, when the best crops that America has had for years are a-ripening, the telegraph brings us from nearly all parts of the Mississippi basin accounts of what is likely to prove an unexampled destruction of standing or half-harvested crops and other property by inundations of the streams and rivers. In Southern Illiuois the lowlands of the Vermillion river are flooded, and the stream is covered with floating wheat shocks. In Indiana wide areas have been flooded, crops carried off and railroad bridges and embankments badly damaged or destroyed, fn central and southern Ohio the creeks have been swollen to the proportions of rivers, the low lands every where flooded, the small grain badly damaged by the rain or washed away by the floods, and the growing corn seriously injured and beaten down by the water. There has, it seems, been little or no loss of life, but the loss of fencing, timber and other property, in addition to the damage to the railroads and the loss of crops, has been great. * In Missouri all the streams are reported to be at flood height; the Osage, La Mine and Black Water rivers are higher than they have been known to be before. The loss to the farmers is enormous, being estimated at $1,500,000 in the Spring river bottom alone, and proportionally great along nearly every river and stream in the State, great or small. Railroads, turnpikes and bridges also suffer griev ously in the general disaster. Trains are delayed or suspended altogether and travel in every direction is interrupted. Four of the principal railroads leading East from St. Louis alone are so flooded or damaged by flood that the trains have been temporarily suspended. These great freshets in all the tribu taries of the Mississippi cannot fail to prove disastrous to the planters of the lower valley, whose farms are inade quately protected by levees, and whose crops, if destroyed now. cannot by any means be restored. Whatever may be the extent of the inundation which fol lows, its destruction cannot well be less than that caused by the startling inunda tions of May, 1874, for the crops which are destroyed now will represent far more of labor and of money than those de stroyed in May, and props destroyed in May can generally bo replanted, whereas those destroyed in August are a total and an irreparable loss. The details of the disaster remain to be told, and it will be fortunate if, when they are all in. they do not sum up a widespread public ca lamity. — N. Y. World. Attempted Outrage in Carroll County. The Westminster Advocate says: “On the 22d of July two negro men made a felonious assault upon a young white woman while she was gath ering raspberries on the farm of Lewis H. Cole, Esq., near Finksburg. One of them seized her by the arm, and in the struggle nearly tore off the sleeve of her dress. The other seized the skirt of her dress and nearly tore it from her person. She struck him in the face with the tin bucket which held her raspberries, and screaming and running from her assail ants, attracted the attention of some laborers who were at work in a hayfield at no great distance, who started to her relief, when the negroes made off. Two other similar assaults upon other women had been made some time previously, and, as it is supposed, by the same par ties, but the matter had been kept quiet in the hope that the suspected parties might be discovered and arrested. Much excitement exists in the neighborhood.” A ai> Bn V..--A Vicksburger who prides himself on his choice language was over in Louisiana the other day on business, and stopping at a farm house to get a drink of water, the woman re marked that the crops stood in great need of rain. “Yes, rain , the great desideratum." he replied as handed the tin dipper back. “Mary. 1 Mery!” yelled the woman, in loud tones. A white-headed girl of sixteen came out of the back room in response to the call, and the mother continued: “Take a squar view of him, Mary ! He don’t look as if be knew enough to plow cotton, and yet he just got off a word as long as from her? to the mule pen and back, and he may be holdin’ on to more The Vicksburger walked right away from there.

The fragrant Sozodont lias taken a very promi nent place among the most approved dentrificee of the day.

J General Remarks.—There bos been a partial revival of trade the past week. A number of merchants from the interior have been in the city, some of them on their way North for the purj>ose of buying stock. Before, however, proceeding they have looked around, and in many instances have purchased their entire stock, while some have only bought certain lines of goods, and continued their journey to New York, where they expect to complete their purchases. Several of our jobbers have laid in very heavy and well selected stocks; in fact, the stocks are much heavier than they have ever been thug early in the season.' Thia is done from the fact that almost every one anticipates a very early date for business to open, and are making every prepara tion to meet the demand. There have been but ftw price changes of any importance the past week, the market generally being firm and un changed. Cotton. —The market has been very quiet throughrHt the week, with light transactions, the only quotation being Middling 13%c. All the other grades are reported too irregular to admit of quotations. The stock is now so small as to almost preclude operations, there being only about 400 bales in the market. Several bales of new cotton have been received so far, the first being in the latter part of July, whicli is some ten days earlier than the first received last year. The receipts ol cotton at this port for the past week, from all sources, have been 248 bales upland, against 345 bales upland for the corre sponding date last year. The particulars of the receipts have been as follows: Per Central Railroad, 208 bates upland: per Atlantic and Galt Railroad, 31 bales upland; Augusta boats, 8 bales upland; Southern Express Company, 2 balss upland. The exports tor the week have l>een 643 bales upland, moving as follows: To New York. 3 bales upland; to Boston. 269 bales upland; to Philadelphia, 271 bales upland. The stock on hand at the close of the market yesterday was 493 bales upland and 01 bal-s sea island, against 8,726 bales upland and 271 bales sea island for the corresponding date last year The following is a resume of the week: Wednesday, August 4.—Market quiet all day and without change of any kind, middling still being quoted at 13%c,with no quotations tor other grades.

Smith, D. D., of Chicago: O “We feel warranted in pronouncing this School, the Mt. Carroll Seminary, for all the highest purposes of education, one of the best in our knowledge. * We regard it as unsur passed in the West, whether as respects the judi ciousness of the discipline, or the substantial value of the instruition." Says the Examining Committee: “Taken slto gether.ihe exercises indicated that the Mount Carroll Seminary still stands where it has stood for the last fifteen years, the peer of any similar institution in the West. The able corps of teachers, and the marvelous degree of thorough ness with which everything attempted is carried through, aside from its many other attractions, render it a very desirable place for a young lady to qualify herself for the duties of life. * * * It is no wonder the Mt. Carroll Seminary has at tained its present high position, as one of the very best schools for young ladies in our land." Says a reporter of the Examination and Anni versary Exercises of the year just closed: “The school has never been fuller, nor did itse.i mare credit than at the close of the present year." Extraordinary Advantages Afforded in local and Instrumental Music. We confidently believe that no similar institu tion in the West can offer superior facilities to those who wish to make Music a specialty. Diplomas and Medals conferred on students com pleting the course in music. Twelve conferred in one \\ ar. The musical department alone num bered 165 pupils during one year. Every pupil in music receives Daily Lessons. Practice from one to eight hours daily. Drawing, Crayons and Painting thoroughly taught, and a diploma or medal conferred on those completing th# course in the Art Department. Testimonials of character expected from all strangers applying. The School year opens SECOND THURSDAY IN SEPTEMBER, being the twenty-third year under the same Principal. Students admitted at any time, and bills made from time of first entering. Expenses exceed ingly moderate for advantages offered. A copy ot tile Oread (the students' journal), giving par ticulars, will be sent free to all wishing informa tion concerning the School.
