AYo are indebted to our agent nt Mnr- slialviUe for tbs following aocotunt of a tragedy in that town, which occurred yes* terday: Mskmialvii.i.i:. Ga.,Dee. 20, 1m73. Editors Telejniph and Mcssnujcr: To day alnuit 12 o'clock the constable of this place was ordered to arrest a negro man by tbo name of Willis Rutherford, who stoutly resisted, and drew a knife and throntoned to cut the constable if ho crowded him. He was told by tho omcer that if he did not surrender ho would shoot him. This did r.ot have any other effect than to increase his threats, and he dared the officer to shoot . whereupon the otlieer tired nt him, the lead taking effect in tho breast. It is thought that he will die in a short time. J. on tho Howard phv of thi t Narrow K<rsi>r. Roddick AA'.ard. a colored" man, living n the upper part Bounty, was stntbk on the head a Jew days ago by a follow bio k weighing several hundred pounds, which had fallen from the top of a cotton screw. He was insensible for some time, and thaae who witnessed the accident had uo doubt that tho blow was a fatal one. It turns out, however, that lti.s skull war not the least fractured, and Ward is fast recovering. This accident adds another link to the chain of testimony in regard to the iron clad condition of the Hamittc skull. Tho fall of such :t block on the head of a white beginning of the present fall term, and the prospect is fair for a still larger at- teri lau^e next term. The daughters of tho ministers of the Conference are gra tuitously educated at this college; and they are also provided with board at lower rates than are the daughters of or dinary patrons of the school. The following lo-al preachers were elected to deacon’s orders: Seaborn II. Thigpen, AValksr Lewis, II. R. Felder, Thomas Lane, James B. McCullers, Cha3. S. Rockwell, and John T. Lowe.

Rev. J, O. A. Cook read the annual report of the Preachers’ Aid Society. Rev. R. AV. Dixon was elected a mem tier of tho Preachers’ Aid Society, vice Rev. AVm. M. Konnody, deceased.

Th commission was raised at tho bast session of Conference for tho purpose of scouring a locution for a home for orphans, to be under the management and support of tbo South Georgia Conference. Tho commission consisted of Geo. C. Clark, A, M. Wynn, J. W. Burke, Jno. AV. Jordon and James Jackson. Tho report announced tliat a location for the Home litd been secured very near Macon, nnd that the institution is now in operation, with eleven orphans in it, all happily provided for in the way of food and raiment, nnd all being educated. Tho location consists of 9t acres of land, 2G acres of which is under fence. Thero is on it a ten room house, a good orchard and a first-rate vineyard. This property as we understood tho report, was a dona tion to the Conference, the only condition being that it bo never diverted from tlio purposes of a Home for the orphan chil dren. The titles were properly made out, and a charter secured from the Bibb Superior! Court, all of which were pre sented with the report. The buildings have been repaired and painted, tho fences put in good repair, and a large garden enclosed. Rev. Samuel Anthony, agent for the Home, made a report of his operations during the year.

They have converted their entire establishment into a bargain store, and haTc marked down everything to the lowest panic prices. Having an abandonee of capital to enable them to Ink e advantage of everything that prom ise., to lienefittheir customers, t hey entered the New A'ork markets when the panic had produced the greatest depression and purchased largoly for cash. The result of this is they have a very fine stock, which they are able to sell, for cash, at prices lower than huve prevailed inee the war. The attention of the trade, wholesale and retail, is called to their advertisement and to their stock. They have both the goods and the disposition to do all they promise. Total result for tho year $42,330 Besides those ho said he had the names of many persons who ltad agreed to pay so much a year as long as they lived. These amounts could not well be aggregated.

Braucli, Cosby A\\ Smith, J. AY. Jordan, H. L. Jewett. J. W. Cheatham, AV. D. AA’iHiams and James Jackson. Mr. Anthony made a very earnest ad dress in favor of the Home, making some very interesting stattmonts in regard to it. Besides the money contributions be had mentioned in his report, he had re- ccived a number of contributions of clothing, bedding, and other necessaries, which were greatly needed. One gentle man had given him a bole of cotton for mattresses. Tho cotton had been sold and good mattresses purchased. At the close of Mr. Anthony’s remarks, AYm. A.
