ExtrarJ of the Presentments of the ttrand Ju
ry of Gilmer County,
At the May Term of the. Superior Court, 1658.
fTTE the Grand Jurors for the County of Gil-
VV "nier, selected, sworn and chosen for the
May Term of the Superior Court for said county,
having gone through the business of the Term,
beg leave to make the following Presentments:
We have taken into consideration the present
system of Education, and are unanimously oppo
sed to the Poor School system, because we believe
it to he wrong in principle. We hold that the
State of Georgia should regard al! her free white
citizens as equals, and by legislation should make
no difference or distinction, by fostering the col
leges on the one hand, aud allowing but a pittance
for the education of the poor on the other We
think Georgia should occupy a more lofty position,
and while we would not wish to see any of our
colleges go down for want of assistance, we, nev
ertheless, think she should adopt some means by
which a system of general education should be
established to give all her sons and daughters a
liberal elementary education, upon terms of equal
ity; she possesses property to the amount of six
or seven million of dollars at least, and what high
er ends we ask. can it be appropriated to, than
thoseof educating the youth of our country; we
would, therefore, most respectfully and earnestly
ask our sister counties, and fellow Grand Jurors
of the State, to take this matter into consideration,
and if in their sound discretion they concur with
ns in recommending a general system of educa
tion that they are respectfully requested tojoin us
in requesting or instructing our Senators aud Rep
resentatives to use their best influence to accom
plish the desired end.
We respectfully request the Cl erk of our Su
perior Court lo have published iu the Federal Un
ion that part of these Presentments which relates
to the subject of education.

Thrilling Adventure.
The following thrilling sketch is from au Eng
lish Magazine:
! “Father will have done the great chimney to
night, won’t ho mother?”said little Tommy How
ard. as It*- stood waiting for his father’s breakfast
which he carried to him at his work every morn
ing.
“Ho said he hoped that ail the scaffolding would
be down to-night,” answered the mother, “and
that'll be a fine sight; for I never liked the ending
of those great chimneys; it is so risky, for father
to be the last up.”
“Eh, then, but I’ll go and seek him. and help
’em to given shout afore becomes down,” said
Tom.
“Aud then,” continued tLo mother, “if all goes
on right, we are to have a frolic to-morrow; ami go
into the country, and take our dinners, aud spend
a!! the day- in the woods.”
“Hurrah!” cried Tom, as he ran off to his
father’s place of work, with a can of milk in
one hand and some bread in the other. His moth
er stood at the door, watching him as he went
merrily whistling down the street, arid she
thought of the dear father he was going to, aud
the d.-.ngerotts work he tv.-ts engaged iu; and then
her heart sought its sure n-fuge, and she prayed to
God to protect and bless her treasures.
Tom with a light heart pursued his way to his
father, and leaving him his breakfast, went to his
own work, which was at some distance. In the
evening, on his w ay- home, he went around to see
how his father was getting on.
James Howard, the father, and a number of oth
er workmen, had been building one of those lofty
chimneys, which in our great matin tail tiring towns
almost supply the place of other architectural
beauty. The chimney was of the highest and
most tapering that had ever been erected, and as
Tom shaded his eyes from the slanting rays of the
setting sun, looked up in search of his father, his
heart almost sank within him at the appaling
height. The scaffold was almost down; the men
at the bottom were removing the last beams and
poles. Toni’s father stood alone at the top.
lie then looked around to see that everything
was right, and then, waving his hat in the air, the
men below, aswering him with a long, load cheer,
little Tom shouting as loud as auy ot them. As
their voices died away, however, they heard a dif
ferent sound, a cry of alarm and horror from
above. “The rope 1 the rope 1” The men looked
around, and coiled upon the ground, lay the rope,
which, before the scaffolding was removed, should
have been fastened to the chimney', forTotu’s fath
er to come down by 1 The scaffolding had been
taken down without remembering to take the rope
up. There was a dead silence. They all knew
it impossible to throw the rope up high enough, or
skillful enough to reach the top of the chimney, or
if it could, it would hardly be safe. They stood
in silent dismay, unable to give any- belp or tbinlt
of any means of safety.
And Tom’s father, lie walked round and
round the little circle, the dizzy height seemed
more and more fearful, and the solid earth further
and further from him. In the sudden panic he
lost his presence of mind, and his senses failed
him. He shut his eyes; he felt as if the next
moment lie must be dashed to peices on the
ground below.
The day passed as industriously as usual with
Tom’s mother at home. 8he was always busily
employed for her husband and children in some
way or other, and to-day she had been harder at
work than usual, getting ready for the holiday to
morrow. 8he had just finished her arrangements,
and her thoughts were silently thanking God for
the happy home, aud for all those blessings of
life, when Tom ran in.
His face was as white as ashes, and he could
hardly git his words out: “Mother! mother! he
cannot get down.”
“Who, lad ! thy father?” asked the mother.”
“They have forgotten to leave him the rope,”
answered Tom, still scarcely able to speak. The
mother started up, horror struck, and stood for a
moment as if paralyzed ; then pressing her hands
over her face, as if to shut out the terrible picture
and breathing a prayer to God for help, she rush
ed out of the house.
When she reached the place where her husband
tvas at work, a crowd gathered around the foot of
the chimney, and stood quite helpless, gazing up
with faces full of sorrow.
“He says he’ll throw hitnself down,”
“Thee tuunna do that, lad,” cried the wife with a
clear hopeful voice ; “thee inunna do that. Wait
a bit Take off thy stocking, lad, and unravel it,
aud let down the thread with a bit of mortar.—
Dost thou hear me, Jem 1”
The man made a sign of assent: for it seemed
as if he could uot speak—and taking off his stock
ing, unravelled the worsted yarn row after row.—
The people stood around in breathless silence and
suspense, wondering what Tom’s mother could be
thinking of; and why she sent him iu such haste
for the carpenter's ball of twine.
“Let down one end of the thread with a bit of
stone, aud keep fast hold of the other,” cried she
to her husband. The little thread came waving
down the tall chimney, blown hither and thither
by the wind, but it reached the out-stretched
hands that were waiting it. Tom held the ball of
twine, while his mother tied one end of it to the
worsted thread.
“Now pull it slowly,” cried she to her husband
and she gradually unwound the string until it
reached her husband. “Now hold the string last,
and pull it up,” cried she, and the string grew
heavy and hard to pull, for Tom aud his mother
had fastened a thick rope to it. They watched it
gradually and slowly uncoiling from the ground,
as the string was drawn higher.
There was but one coil left. It had reached the
top. “Thank God! thank God!” exclaimed the
wife, she hid • her face in her hands in silent
prayer, and trembling, rejoiced. The iron to which
it should be fastened was there all right—but
would her husband be able to make use of it?—
Would not the terror of the past hour so have un
nerved hint as to prevent him from taking the nec-
i ssary measure for his safety? She did not know
the magical influence which her few words had
exercised over him. She did know the strength
that the sound of her voice, so calm aud steadfast
had filled him with—as if the little thread that
cairied him the hope of life once more, had con
veyed to him some portion of that faith in God
which nothing ever destroyed or shook in her
pure heart. She did know that as she waited
there, the words anno over hiui, “Why art thou
cast down, O my soul, why art thou disquieted
within me? hope thou in God.” She lilted her
heart to God for hope and strength but could do
nothing more for her husband and her heart turned
to God, and rested on him as on a rock.
There was a great shout. “He’s safe, mother,
lie’s safe.'” cried little Tom.
“Thou hast saved my life, my Mary,” said her
husband, folding her iu his arms. "Bat what ails
thee? thou seemest more sorry than glad about it
But Mary could not speak, and if the strong arm
ofher husband had not held her up, she would
have fallen to the ground—the sudden joy after
such great fear had overcome her. “Tom, let thy
mother lean on thy shoulder," said his father and
we will take her home.” And in their happy
home they poured forth thanks to God for his
great goodness, and their happy life together felt
dearer and holier for the peril it had been in, and
the nearness ot the danger had brought them un
to God. And the holliday next day—was it not
indeed athanksgiving day.

evergreen with its dense and unchangeable foilage

blessings in the midst of those who reverence you
as husband and father.
But says one, “he lives in a log-house, his wife
does not’even g*‘t a hundred dollar shawl, they
ride in a lumber-wagon, they are low people.'’
Indeed! was not Daniel Webster born in a log
house? Does the paraphernalia cf fashion mould
and cultivate the intellect? Are lumber wagons
useless because splendid caariages exist? Are
people low because gold has not turned aside their
minds from the path of virtuous integrity and tho
rational enjoyment of life? We would not ignore
the building of houses or riding in carriages, after
the farm is adorned : but we pity the Dinner who
first builds fine houses and buys fine carriages,
and pays for them «ith a mortgage on his farm.
But the farmers of the prairies of the Northwest
are in duty bound to fence their farms with a live
fence, and to plant groves of forest trees on every
farm. Not only do the necessities of a prairie
country require the planting of forest trees in
view of the prospective value of timber for build
ing and fencing purposes, but the health of the
country demands it. Forest trees play an im
portant part on the climate, productiveness and
health of a country. Trees create moisture, cool
the surrounding atmosphere by radiation (rom
their foilage, absorb the carbonic acid envolved
from the lungs of animals, and drink up as ap
propriate food, the miasmatic emanations so des
tructive to human life. Vegetation in its quan-
tityand kind constitutes the barometer of health,
production and uniformity of clmate: and as
has been healthfully said, “the vegetable crea
tion is the rich-alter cloth of the temple of God,
in which the recognition of beauty and sublimity
of forms constitute the worship.”
The man who plants trees is a benefactor of his
race, and though he may not reap any benefit,
s.-v e the pleasure of doing good, he will confer
lasting benefits on generations vet unborn, and
the meed of praise will adhere to his name, while
the generations of men gaze with throbbing
hearts on the giant trees planted by his hands.
The adornment of home—ornate fixtures tasteful
ly arranged around his depot of life's pleasures
and Hopes—surely ought to engross a portion of
our attention, for the tendrils of affection, the
sweet-scented blossoms of kindness and sympathy,
thi-concentrated joys of life, cluster in harmonious

Shall wc Adorn our Homes.
Whatever is calculated lo enhance our happi
ness and that of those about us, without infring
ing on the rights of others, we deem a duty ; and
the cheerful performance of duty is almost synon-
urnous with happiness. Duty requires that we
adorn onr homes and farms as fast as a wise econ
omy, free front the claims of averice, will allow.
A great stumbling block in the way of rural em
bellishment is an inordinate love of gold. That
wealth is the standard of respectability, the sine
qua non to happiness, is indelibly engraven on
the Yankee mind. Example and correct educa
tion can only remedy the evil, and convince men
that gold is neither happiness nor riches. We
should commence to beautify our homes immedi
ately, and the consciousness of setting a worthy
example—of binding together in love and amity
the growing household—would prove a rich re
ward.
We do not believe, what the practice of some
men would seem to indicate, that a henroost affix
ed to the kitchen, a barn yard in close proximity
to the hack door, a pig pen whose gaseous effluvia
conies in at the front door, are ornaments; but
there is no accounting for tastes and idiosyncra-
ciesof smell, so we leave such to enjoy, as best
they may. the advantages of such tasty arrange
ments. No farmer but can yearly add something
in the way of embellishment, if he but have the
di-position and the will: and if economy and re
trenchment are looked to, he will have the means.
If we buy less of the flaunting follies of fashion,
less of the really useless luxuries of life, we shall
have a fund with which to decorate home, which
will call forth explanations of praise from the
passers-by. The first step is a garden, a thing,
by the way, which many farmers whose heads
are silvered with gray hairs, in any reasonable
sense, have never had. A good garden is a treas
ure of worth and beauty which the farmer does
not generally appreciate, because he has it r.ot.
A garden should embrace at Last one acre of
ground, aud contain currants, goosberries, rasp
berries, blackberries, strawberries, servicebernes,
grapes, pie plant and asparagus, an ample sup-
plv for a large family. They should be tasteful
ly arranged, and the walks bordered with t“ ose
beautiful gems of nature, flowers. those
emblems of innocence and purify shoo'd grace

Destrmtioti of (be frisfal Palace;
Ropiil spread of the flames nnd heavy loss.
From the New York Herald, October, 6th.
T he Crystal Palace, tin- scene of so many of tho
greatest public demonstrations which have taken
place in this city of late years, was totally destroy
ed last evening by fin-, and the site is now a mass
of smoking ruins. Not only the Palace itself, but
everything that it contained, was burned tip, and
the exhibitors at the great fair of the American In
stitute, which was being held there for two weeks
past, have lost all they had in the building.
At about five o'clock last evening a tire was dis
covered in the north nave of the Crystal Palace,
on the 42d stieet side. When first seen it appear
ed to pioceed from tiie room used as a lumber room
and in which were stored a large quantity of old
patterns left from the World’s Fair There was no
entrance on the north nave, and in the room where
the tire is said to have started there was no fire or
light of any description ever used. The managers
of the fair state there is but little doubt but that
the fire was the work of an incendiary. The blaze
was discovered almost immediately, and an at
tempt made to extinguish it by the hose on the
premises; but the water not flowing freely, the
flames spread to the coaling, or under part of the
balcony floor, when the combustible character of
the yellow pine flooring fed the devouring element,
and almost immediately en veloped the dome in a
mass of flame. When the fire was first discovered
there were about 1,000 persons in the building,
and, on the alarm being given, consternation and
fi-ic-ht seized upon the visitors, who rushed wildly
in the direction of the exhits, crying and scream
ing in the most pitiable manner. Children were
s-'perated from their parents, and friend from friend.
Many were knocked down and trampled under foot
and sustained serious bodily injury. It is feared,
from the rapid spread of the smoke, and the little
knowledge the visiters had of the means of exit,
that several lives have been lost. The persons in
the gallery were in great jeopardy, as in three
minutes from the first discovery of the fire the up
per part of the building was so filled with smoke
that, it would have been impossible for a human
being to have existed a minute.
The pitch pine which formed the flooring, stairs
and framework of the entire palace afforded a
most inflammable pabulum for the conflagration
to feed upon, and this_ explains the reason of its
rapid spread. The scene when the tire was at its
height was one of fearful magnificence. The huge
dome was like a vast ball of fire, and the flames
leaped up its sides in great waves of lurid light.—
At one time the whole palace was glowing like a
burning coal, and vomiting up fire at a rate that
would have donecredit to Vesuvius. All who wit
nessed the spectacle declare that it was one of
those tilings rarely seen in a life-time.
About twenty-five minutes after thefire was first
discovered the dome fell with a fearful crash, and
the flames made one final leap upwards, and sank
to rise no more. Iu forty minutes from the break
ing out of the fire tho palace and all its contained
were totally destroyed; and all that mark the sito
of this once proud building aro a few standing tow
ers and a smoking heap of ruins.
From all the facts that could be possibly ascer
tained from parties who were in the Palace at tho
time the fire originated, there caunot be a doubt
but the fire was the work of an incendiary. From
the manner in which the tlanu-s shot up there must
have been either turpentine or carupLene adminis
tered to aid the rapid progress of the fire. The
room in which the fire was first discovered is lo
cated directly on the northeast wing, adjoining
the stairway leading up to the gallery. It was at
one time used for storing old boxes and the like,
hut at the time of the fire one of the managers
stated that there was nothing thereiu but a quan
tity of wooden patterns, and the only paper mate
rial was some old tickets used at the cable cele
bration. A strong smell of turpentine, it is said,
was perceived at the beginning of the fire, which
shows that there must have been viilanous work
in the matter.
Just p. evious to the lire, a young lady, who was
near at the time, states that she saw a man come
out of the above place; she described him as dres
sed in black, and that he was the first one, she
said to cry fire. The managers state that the place
was closed and a bar placed across the entrance,
so that if any person gair.vd admittance he did so
by taking down the bar.
The total number of exhibitors at this fair was
about 3,960. Of these no catalogue has yet been
made out. and it is difficult to get at au estimate
of the loss of each exhibitor. Some of the articles
were, of course, of little or no value, but the ma
jority of the articles were costly, and as they were
not insured the loss will lall heavily upon the ex
hibitors. The average value f ir each exhibitor
would not fall below §300. At this rate the total
loss would be as follows;
3,960 exhibitors, §300 each - §1,088,000
Cost of building, .... 700,000
Lotal loss, .... §1,783.000
This estimate may be a little too high, but the
items seem little enough.
To-day and To morrow.—The Savannah Republi
can of September 29th says:
“The Administration—we say it cheerfully,
though an opponent to the party that bought it in
to power—Au..- stood firmly by the South and adher
ed, with hardly a solitary deviation, to the policy
claimed as essential to our security.”
Then the policy ot the Cabinet has been a wise
one—the South has had wise counsellers there—
they have “adhered with hardly a solitary devia
tion" to our interests—they have “stood firmly
by tho South” and their selection should he a
matter of congratulation with the Republican.
Again the Republican of October 1st,—two days
after the above compliment is paid the Cabinet,—
says:
"He (Howell Cobh) was a fast nag, but hits, un

Mr. Dempsey's Estate.—The Macon Telegraph,
after copving the paragraph from the Griffin
American Union, published in the Sun yesterday,
to the effect that Mr. Dermot Dempsey, recently
deceased, had left nearly all of his large estate to
the Catholic Church, cutting his two children off
with only §2,500 each, denies the correctness of
the statement. The Teh graph has been informed
that the estimated value of Mr. Dempsey’s estate
is about $250,000, and not §500,000, as stated by
the Union, and all goes to his children—not one
cent to the Catholic Church, as it has been inform
ed and believes.
“My mother does not expect me to be out
Sunday riding,” said a young clerk to a fellow-
boarder.
“Never mind, if she don’t you can go.”
“Yes I can go, if I go, I shall fall below her ex
pectation, ana I shall try never to do that,” was
the noble reply.
