A difficulty occurred on Sunday on Fourth street, near tho Brown House, between Henry Scrimshirc and Fred Knight, in which the latter received a ent in tho stomach with a bnife. Fortu natoly tho wound was not a deep one, and not likely to greatly inconvcnionco the young man. Bolng unable to obtain any of the pnr- ticul.tr ■ of the difficulty, wo aro not pre pared to say who was to blamo in tho affair. \r [itoriununicatcd.j Judge Peyton lleynnlil*.

The report has bcon put into circula t ion, either by sorno uninformed or some malicious person, that tho Great Eastern circus had gone into winter quarters at Nownnn. Wo had h ard tho report and thought rather strange of it, as wo knew the show was billed at Forsyth and down tho Southwestern road as far as Eufaula. Tho following dispatch from Mr. Haight, tho proprietor of tho show, sets tho wholo matter nt rest: Newman’, Ga., December 8th. .{To the Telegraph and Messenger: Tbo Great Eastern show will make all *iU stands, and continuo showing all the winter. Wo aro storing here for tho winter some surplus baggage, to lessen our trans portation. l’leaso explain in first issue and pro tect us from wrong, false reports and in jury to our businoss. A. IIaioht. Staving Ills Corn. A planter in an adjacent county, like souio other planters wo liave heard of. fouud himself somewhat embarrassed by the operations of tho soasgigjihjI, through a course of bankruptcy. Having more corn on hand—of Iris own raising' than ho cared to return os assets, lio bor rowed a neighbor's crib and filled it from his fields with n goodly store, which ho did not want to pass through tho hank' rnpt court. This wns nil very well; but, unfortunately for the success of tho plan, tho neighbor, whoso crib ho borrowed, wss also behind-hnnd, and the officers of tho law invaded his premises and levied on everything in sight, including tho crib of corn belonging to tho candidate for discharge in bankruptcy. Correction. There were two errors in our notice of Sunday morning of tho death of Judge Peyton Reynolds. Wo stated that while Mr. Bates was ill with small-pox, the Judgo went frequently to the fence near by to ask after him. This, we aro as sured is incorrect, os tho Judgo used tho greatest precaution and did not venture near tho building where Mr. Bates was. Again, the fact that the Judge was not vaccinated did not arise from his lack of faith in tho operation; but having but ono arm with which to earn his support, and being a man of rather frail health, he declined vaccination. We mabo these corrections not becauso they can do any good now, hut simply becauso our information led 113 intoorror. The fCommunicntcil.l •Mil for Grangers to CmcU" Cracked. Ex nehilo ncliil est. Editors Telegraph mul Messengers I no ticed in a recent copy of your paper that "City Lawyer's" eld cow had died, and that he was at present luxuriating on tho superior (?) milk of a Hancock county heifer. Every body— especially Talbot county people—knows that the' old Ilriu- dle was not "pixened,” but milked to death. I don’t know anything about the merits of Hancock county heifers, with or without pedigrees, but this one seems to thrive well ou the pens, cotton seed, etc., tho old cow loft behind. The wonder is, whut manner of milk she will yield] after the small reumantofold-'fashioned ,, feed” gives out. "City Lawyer” had better plant a goo ber in his back yard and join the Gran gers on the merit of it. That's a Talbot county heifer, however—she hasn’t any pedigree either. Respectfully yours, Gr.ANC.KS. The County Court. Business is beginiug to wake up again in tho County Court, nr.d the chain gang is likely to bo recruited to some consider able extent. The following casco were disposed of yesterday: Valentine Hash, colored, charged with battery upon his mother, was tried and acquitted, Peter Glover and Lonisa Gray, colored, inhabitants of Rutland district, were tried for n joint case of iatorlusivonoss* Tho case was easily made out, and they moved a suspension of judgment long enough for them to get a license and marry. The ceremony was performed in court, and the ‘'happy couple” trudged away bock to their "old cabin home.” Frank Strong, tho negro who stole a 1>oi of tobacco from Messrs. Coleman k Newsom last week, w:u, found guilty of larceny from the house, lie begged so hard for clemency that Judge Weems hod pity on him and let him off with ten months in tho chain gang. were charged with fighting. The former came up to answer but Knight did not. After a hearing of the testimony Mr. Serirashire’s case dismissed- The diffi- etiHy which gave rise to this case is men tioned elsewhere. Probable Attempt at Suicide It was reported in tho city yesterday that a woman over in East Macon had attempt. -1 to tako her own life by poison on Sunday. Wo went over yesterday morning and ascertained tho facts in tho case to be abont as follows: Tho woman was seen to fall in the street nearly opposite to the store of Xel son & Son, and parties who went to her assistance found that she was very ill. They thought nt first that sbo w.03 hav ing fits. She was taken to the house where sho bad been staying and Drs. Su tlers and Mason called in. Upon examin ation of tho ease they both agreed that she was suffering from poison, as all her symptoms indicated that sho had taken strychnine. She retrained insensible throughout the day and night, hut was somo bettor yesterday morning, and it was believed that she would recover. Tho woman’s name is Mollie Waldrup, and she is a widow, without children. Her maiden name was More. She ap pears to havo no relatives in Macon, and has been supporting licrself by hiring ont as a domestic. Lai terly sho has been oat of work and apparently in great trouble thereat. Sho is known to the people of East Macon as a very steady and indus trious woman. One lady with whom sho had lived for some months spoke very highly of her os a domestic. She is about twenty-five years of age. Utility Man. Wo have often heard of the “utility man” in a theatrical combination, bnt wo never thoroughly understood what he was until wo read tho following paragraph from tho Columbus Sun’s notico of tlio performance of Macbeth in that city: Milues JjOvick won frequent applause by his personation of Macbeth. The character of Banquo and Macduff by the same actor were well sustained, and the entire play handsomely performed. This was an exhibition of skill which Mr. Lcvic-k foiled entirely to display in this city. In show parlance ho would be an "immense card,” if ho were liberally advertised to appear in three important parts of the same play, two of which must necessarily be on tho stago simultaneous ly. For instance we would bo greatly de lighted to seo Mr. Lovick arise in tho form of JJanijito's ghost at the tabic, and at tho same tirno stand aside, shivering with Macbeth's ghastly fright and say t ny nory iocks ni me." Then, again, in the last scene, it would bo grand to see him manifest his duality of person in tho fencing scene between “Macbeth and Macduff. Wo confess that wo are so utterly unable to see how ho could accomplish tho feat, that wc must beg our brother DoVotic to lmmor our incredulity until we havo oecular demon- t ration of ttis wonderful trait of Mr. Loviek’s ability. .THE MIMKI ROSE. Trial nf No. 2’s Sciv steamer. Notwithstanding the day was an un favorable ono, tho now steamer, lately brought out for Ocmulgee Fire Company No. 2, was brought ont for a test in the presence of almost tho entire company, and a considerable number of spectators. T!M steamer, as has been previously stated, was built by Messrs. Harrell A Hays, of Paterson, New Jersey. It is tho samo sizo as the steamer lately purchased by Mechanics, Np. 4, and differs from it only in its style of finish and having heavier whools. The machine, loaded for service, weighs a little over four thou sand pounds. It is arranged to ho drawn cither by hand or horse power; but is light enough to ho drawn easily by hand. In point of finish tho ’machine sur passes anything we have ’ever seen. In addition to tho usual ornamented parts, which are exceedingly handsome, all tho working parts are nickle plated, present ing the appearance of being finely pol- shed. . Every part is bright as a mirror, including even tho axles, springs, pole and cylinders. In fact tho whole machine is bright ns a jewel and quite as handsome. The company has made an excellent selection of a name for the engine. Simri Roso was identified, during his ife time, with all the interests of Macon. He was thoroughly public-spirited and to his earnest advocacy and personal influ ence Macon owes some of her principal beauties. It is fitting that ono who has so served the city, should Ire honored by thoso who survivo him. A very handsome picture of Mr. Rose is fixed in the front of tho signal light. Tho trial of the engine took place at tho cistern on Mulberry street, in the scnco of a Large number of spectators. Tho report of the judges shows the fol lowing result of the test: 5 lbs of steam obtained in G minutes. « " •* 0.40 " an-1 steadily, until it leaped hiesfc above the van-', and dissolved in pray at a greater distance above the earth than an engine ever thr.w water before in t'..ii city.

Wc, tli- second panel of the Gran-1 Jury for tho October term of Bibb Superior Court, beg leave to make the following general presentments: Our predecessors, the first panel of iae Grand Jury, have so thoroughly over hauled county matters as to leave us com paratively little to do. 1Ye liave examined through a commit tee the condition and management of the jail. The building being in every way unworthy, we can only join in tae pre vious recommendations of Grand Juries in asking for a new building. But as to management we are satisfied that it i3 as well kept and is oa clean as such a build- in" could possibly he, and there is no com plaint from prisoners as to care and at tention. Our attention having been called to abuses in the License Bureau, we have given the matter a careful consideration and we find that it only needs a little system in the issuance of licenses to bring to the county tho full revenue to bo derived therefrom. "We, therefore, recommend that the Ordinary in issuing retail liquor licenses make them all ex pire at the same time, say May 1st, and notify, at that time, every retail dealer in the county to renew their license un der penalties of fine. We have, through a competent com mittee, examined carefully the books and records of tho County Court, and we find that each and every case tried lias been properly noted as to the disposition of tho same, but we find no correct system of account of cash receipts and disburse ment*. We therefore join tho first panel in the recommendation that a cash book be used in tho Court and the proper en tries made therein. At our request, Judgo John B. Weems, of tho County Court, has made a report of tho same sinco its organization, which wo deem of importance enough to append it to our general presentments and re quest its publication. We take pleasure in commending the course of Hon. W. A. Huff, Mayor of the city, in extending to tho County Coni ' the aid of tho police in tho arrest nnd prosecution of vagrants. In view of tho good which lias been accomplished, w earnestly hope that tho Mayor will in struct his police force to continue arrest ing and prosecuting all vagrants, white and black, to be found about tho city. It being represented to tho Grand Jury that it is dosirahlo to increase the civil jurisdiction of the County Court, and in other respects to amend tho act organiz ing tho same, to that end we recommend that a committee of the Macon bar bo appointed to prepare and submit to the Legislature, at its ensuing session, a suit able bill for tho purposes indicated. We suggest the names of Samuel Hall, James T. Nisbct. R. W. Jemison, Col. L. N. Whittle, and C. Anderson, Esqs., as that committee. We jpin the first panel in urging tho repeal of laws, as far as Bibb county is concerned, allowing tho Sheriff, Clerk of the Superior Court, Ordinary and Jus ticss of tho Peace extra compensation, and that they bo not allowed any fees other than those prescribed by tho stat utes in each case. Wo find that the county has been put to great expenso in tho matter of insol vent costs, and wc recommend to our change in the Law, so that costs bo only collected from the plaintiff and defendant, and tho county not held responsible for insolvents. Wo recommend to. the County Commis sioners the erection of a suitable shed in the rear of the Court-house, for tho pur pose of accommodating the citizens of the county, with a place to protect their horses aud vehicles from the weather. We thank liis Honor, Judgo Barnard Hill, ar.d his Honor Judgo Hersehcl V. Johnson. al-:o Solicitor General C. J. Harris, for attention shown this body, and request tho usual publication of our gcr.eial presentments, and of tho supple ment. Respectfully submitted. Gno. 8. Oar an. Foreman. Ezekiel E.

Tho guaranty «a^ 210 feet. Two streams were thrown 102 feet 0 inches, through fifty feet of hose. The most attractive feature of the trial lo the spectators was a vertical test. This trial consisted in an attempt to throw a stream as high as the vane on the Court-house. The vane is over ISO feet high, and it requires some ex cellent work to elevate a stream that high. Two hundred feet of hose were at tached to the steamer, and the work commenced. There were few among the spectators who expected to see her accomplish the feat she had un dertaken. Heavier engines have tried it aud failed. But failure was not down in the programme on this occasion. The little machine was start.,!, and the water ’jegau to climb up the tower.

Ucntletr.cn of the Grand Jury: In con formity with your request, I tako pleas ure in submitting to your body the fol lowing statement of the operations of the County Court sinco its organization on the 1st of June last. Constant engage ments in the Superior Court havo pre vented a report as accurate and elaborate as I would desire. The following, how ever, though necessarily hastily pre pared, is substantially correct: The docket shows upon it 2S3 cases; forty-three of which were old cases trans mitted from the Superior Court. Upon examination, I found that many of these cases had been previously settled by the former Solicitor General. In some of these no arrests had been made,air can be made; a few have been tried. I have tried fourteen cases for com mitment to the present term of tho Supe rior Court, Sinco the court has bcon in existence abont seventy criminal cases have been tried which resulted iu convictions; thirty resulted in acquittals, nnd abont fifty have boon dismissed or nolle prose- quis entered for reasons generally stated upon the docket. Among these are to be found eases in which tho parties ac cused of living together in a state of adultery and fornication have intermar ried, thereby suspending the judgments. About thirty convicts have been sent to the chain gang and six or eight to prison. There has besn paid into the Court about $1,500 arising from fines; of this amount $700 has been paid over to the Comity, and the balance applied to the payment of insolvent costs due to the bailiffs of the Court. Only three cases liave been tried by a jury since the or ganization of the Court. About sixty civil cases have been disposed of. There has been but three appeals to the Superi or Court, and so for no certiorari has been sued out. I doubt not that the Court will save the county more than the one- half of the former tax on account of jail fees; that the public roads in the county will be worked without any charge upon the county, and that the Court will pay into the County Treasury, from fines and forfeited recognizances, a much greater sum than is allowed me as a salary. Respectfully submitted, John B. TVeems, Judge Bibb County Court.
