Office State Agricultural Society./
Atlanta, July 11, 1870. (
1. Notice is given that the office of the
State Agricultural Society has been remov
ed to most ample suitable halls, with offices
attached, in the basement of the Capitol.
Members of the society, and visitors to the
city especially, and our citizens genera! y,
are invited at any and all business hours
to visit the library arid reading room and
museum.
2. The thanks of officers nn I members of
the Society are due John R Duk<‘S, E-q.,
President ol the Wando, Manufacturing
and M niog Company, who, through C and.
B. C. Presley, of the law firm of Presley,
Lord & Ingolsbv, presents specimens of
fi'ssil bones and teeth found in their phos
phate mines—containing the sections of the
vertebreal of extinct Sauri, which were
over thirty feet in length ; tusks of the sea
Elephant, (Megalo Saurius); sharks teeth
four times the size of any living variety.
Some of these specimens are impregnated
with iron.
3. The following letter is upon a suLject
of such general interest as to justify pub
lication. It was ILcJ ia this office by
Judge Ezzard :
Lawr7nc£vli.le, Jane 29, 1870.
lion. J Tin. Ezzard, Mayor;
Dear Sir— President Orr informed me
last week that he had a letter from Col.
Lewis, inquiring whether he knew of any
considerable quantity of pyrites on or near
the line of any railroad in Georgia. Col.
L. says our manufacturers of fertilizers
wish to prepare their own sulphur if they
can procure the pyrites,
B >th copper and iron pyrites exist in
any desireable quantities in the gold veins
within one and a half miles of Sugar Hill,
and south ot that place on the Air-Line
Railroad. I suppose many tons of the
fimist yarjer.v ennui be mc’ked un among ,
the rubbish on the top ift fTiTTground. — j
forms a large proportion of ground
nurii Toaitects the veins of the gold leaving
quartz on eitner siuu. if e- to
which Col. L. alludes, will establish a de
pot at Sugar llili, Ga., they will have no
occasion to send abroad for sulphur. Ido
not know where Col. Lewis is at present,
and therefore communicate this information
to you that you may let all parties concern
ed know the facts.
1 am truly yours,
Jas. P. Simm ns.
4. An appeal is made to the liberality of
the Press of the State to send their papers
r gularly to this office without charge.
The object of the request is manifold. This
office has and will have thousands of doc
uments and circulars, etc., to issues daily
and weekly of the Press spread out upon
our tables, we will have at one view the
names of perhaps twenty thousand busi
ness men in every departmen of industry,
to whom we can send our documents.
Again, the Library and Museum attached
to the office are daily increasing in interest
and importance. The contributions of the
papers of the State will greatly add to this
interest and will make the rooms of the
Society a most attractive resort to members
and visitors from a distance while in the
citv. Assurance given to all publishers
and editors who will comply with this re
quest, that their files shall never he taken
from the Library, and shall, after having
answered the immediate wants of the office,
become permanent files and preserved fur
reference and for historical and statistical
inquiries for which they will be more and
more valuable with the lapse of time.
5. Delegates and members, and visitors
to the convent on are urged to consider if
they cannot bring with them a few precious
stones or other valuable contributions to
the museum If each delegate should bring
with him th? most curious and interesting
specimens whether mineral, fossil, earth,
plant or other object in natural history, it
ffltlilAd Y>rftsunt, at once a most interesting
evidence of the great variety di eJn,
turn, climate, and of the varied productive
capacity of the State. Let all try

7. The Secretary begs the Press to renew
the favor of the gratuitous publication oi

Creeling the Bridegroom.— A curious
custom in connection with marriage pre
vailed at one time in Scotland, and, from
the manner in which it is carried out, was
called, “Creeling the Bridegroom.” The
mode of procedure in the village of Gala
shiels was as follows: Early in the day
after marriage, those interested in the pro
ceeding assembled at the house of the
newly-wedded couple, bringing with the.Y
a “creel.” or basket, which thev 9ft being
brought to hu*h)e creel firmly
upon l.u oiftSt, and with it in this
portion b» i to run the round of the town,
or \t leapt the chief portion of it, followed
by f number of men to see that he did not
drop his burden ; the only condition on
whin, he was allowed to do so being that
his wfe should come after him and kiss
him. As relief depended altogether upon
the vfe, it would sometimes happen that
the liQband did not need to run more than
i few ards ; but when she was more than
bashful, or wished to have a
little port at the expense of her lord and
master—which it may be supposed would
nol urfrequentlv be the case—he had to
carry his load a considerable distance.
TM Custom was very strictly enforced ;
f j the person who was last creeled had
el rge cf the ceremony, and he was natur
; v anxious that no one should escape.
' e practice, as far as Galashiels was con
ned, came to an end about sixty years
i, in the person of one Robert Young,
to, on the ostensible plea of a “sore back,”
abed all the day after his marriage, and
stinately refused to get up and be creeled;
had been twice married before, and no
übt felt that he had had enough of
jeling.
A Westerner, speaking of the perfor
mer of his village choir, says that “it is
:e drift wood in a stream ; it drags on the
rs, but it don’t amount to a dam.”
i ii e Early 11 aie of Jesus. —F ur miles
from th* strong Greek city of Sephorlis,
hidden away among the gentle hills, then
covered from the base to crown with vine
yards and lig trees, lay a natural nest or
basin ot rich, red and white earth, star-like
in shape, but a mile in width, and wonder
ously fertile. Along the sacred and chalky
slope ot the highest hills spread a sniafl
and lovely village, which, in a land where
every stone seemed to have a sturv, is
remarkakable as having had no public
history and no distinguished native name.
No great road led up to this sunny nook.
No traffic came into it, no legions marched
through it. 1 rade, adventure, pomp passed
by it, flowing from west to east, from east
to west, along the Roman road. But the
meadows were aglow with wheat and barley.
Near the low ground ran a belt of gardens :
fenced with stones, in myriads of green
figs, red pomegranates and golden citrous,
riv.oned in the summer sun. High up the
slopes, which were lined and planted like
the Rhine at Bingen, hung vintages of
purple grapes, in the plain, among the
corn and beneath the mulberry trees and
figs, shone daisies, popies, tulips, lilies and
anemones, endless in their profusions,
brilliant in their dves.
L )w down on the hillside sprang a well
of water, bubling, plentilul and sweet;
and abuve this fountain of life, in a long
stieet strangling from the fountain syna
gogue, rose the homestead of many shep
heids, craftsmen and vine-dressers. It
was a lovely and humble place, of which
no ruler, no historian of Israel had ever
yet taken notice. No Rachel had been met
and kissed into love at this well ; no Ruth
had gathered up the sheaves of barley ; no
tower had been built for observation on
this height; no camp had been pitched for
battle in tins vale. That one who would
become dearer to the fancies of men than
either Ruth or Rachael, then walk through
these fields, drew water at this spring,
passed up and down the lanes of this ham
let, no seer could then have surmised. The
place was more than obscure. Tne Arab
may have pitched his black tent by the
well, the magistrate of Sephoflis must have
known the village, but the hamlet was
never mentioned by the Jewish scribes.
In the Bible, in the Talmud, iu ihe writings
of Josephus, we seach in vain for any
record of this sacred place. Like its happy
neighbors, Nain and Ednor, it was the
abode of husbandmen and oil dressers,
whose lives were spent in the synagogue
and the olive grove, away from the bright
Greek cities and the busy Roman roads.
No doubt it li ad once been possessed of
either an Arab or a Hebrew name, but we
do not know the name except in its Hel
lenic form. The Greeks call the tuwn
Nazaret or Nazareth.
“The Hon. Alexander ii. Stephens, of
Georgia, has somewhat recovered from his
recent attack of severe illness.”
At the time we write, this paragraph

- iiio nAHiitivo arui enables an old
ing story :
Twenty-five years ago we had a political
correspondence with Mr. Stevens, called
forth by our mutual admiration and sup
port of Mr. Clay. When Gen. Scott was a
candidate for the Presidency Mr. Stephens
was a member of Congress, and, being in
in Washington, we determined to make
bis acquaintance. Passing up Pennsyl
vania Avenue, with Mr. Stephens’s hotel
address in our hands, our attention was
suddenly arrested by the appearance of a
person who seemed to be in the very last
stages of a consuming sickness. It was to
us a miracle that any one so attenuated
and wasted away in flesh, so woebegone in
expression, could command strength enough
to move unassisted along the pavement.
Startled and curious, we gazed at the dis
appearing form, and finally, to give some
relief to our sympathetic curiosity, wo ask
ed a Jehu standing near by—
“ Who is that man?”
“That man," said the coachman, point
ing his whip disdainfully after tlie appari
tion —“that man,” he repeated, and his
face assumed a look of complete iisgust
“that man,” the words the third time be.
ing uttered with a diabolical sneer, “is one
of the most contemptible and unptineipled
cheats in Washington.”
We expressed our surprise at such a
sweeping denunciation against an invalid,
and begged to ki.oW the name of such a
reprehensible indiviual.
“Why, it’s Aleck Stephens, of Georgia,”
said the fellow, with evident surprise at
ocr ignorance.
“And what has he done?” we asked,
with some warmth. “What could ‘“ , - n aa
honorable gentleman, and and\ 4<^n g u 'Bhed
member of Congress do, to/~iStify you in
speaking the* rt ’ a J ot him - r ’
“W 0“ * ,ou Bee >” said (he fe l >w, with an

Almost any young lady has public spirit

house used as a Court house.
“Why don’t you wear your ring, my

daughter. “Because, papa, it hurts when
any one squeezes my hand.” “What busi

‘ Certainly none ; but still you know, papa,

No “Bile” in Him—lt was a perplexing
and infelicitous circumstance, that which
happened to discomfort and discomfit the
good housewife, who had fattened a young
turkey for her husband’s delectation, boil
ed, as was his “weakness,” with the accom
paniment of a savory sauce. Two or three
days before his death (the turkey’s), a box
of household pills fell by accident into the
yard, where the bird performed his daily
perambulations and gobbling. He picked
up the kernels of a<*ti-bifious corn, and
survived their effects until his decease,
when he was committed to the pot, as the
piece de resistance of a sumptuous dinner.
But he would not boil tender : hour after
hour the p<*-bubbles burst around him,
hut all to A® purpose ; the harder and the
longer I* s waa boiled the tougher and more
he became. At length, how
ever he was served up ; and a doctor, a
neighbor, who was a guest, was
.equested to solve the mystery. “We biled
that turkey six long hours, and >ct<T, by the
clock,” said the down-east hostess, “and
you see how aicfully tough he is neow.
Could it be the pills, d’yeou think, doctor,
that I was leliin ’yeou about his eatin’?”
“Undouhtelly, madam,” replied the doctor,
“it -irouldi not have made the slightest difs

“Is this the widow Hooper?”
“Yes sir,” was the reply.
“Well, continued the deacon, “I am that
little bit of a dritd up Deacon Small, and
have only one question to propose to you.”
“Please propose, sir.”
“Well, mudam,” said the deacon, “have
you any objections to going to Heaven by
way of Hopkinton ?”
“None at all, deacon,” was the reply.
“Come in, deacon.”
