8 GEORGIA AND I'LORIDA. K3WS OF THE TWO STATES TOLD IN PARAGRAPHS. Near Smlthvllle a Man Finds a Snake Coiled About His Leg—Sheriff Hurst Makes a Watch Charm of the Bullet With Which He Was Shot-Hangings tn Jefferson County. GEORGIA. Col. Childs says that his gold mine near Naooochee is paying very well Thurston Toller was drowned while swim ming at a Sunday school picnic at Macon Fjiilay. Combs, the principal of the colored school at Athens, has a wife attending college in Virginia. A party in Athens built a $3,000 house, when he ‘discovered that the titles to the land on which it is con .tructed are not good. Mr. Bloomfield, of Athens, says he would be glad if his factory hands adopted the ten hour schedule, but they won’t consent to the arrangement. Sheriff Hum, of Albany, wears the ball shot into him by the burglar at Baoonton on his watch charm. It has been handsomely encased in gold, the ball showing between the gold clasps. Mr. Agee, of Greensboro, last week buried tbi-ee children in the same grave. They died of dysentery. Two other children, all that are left, are sick, and one of them it is thought will not recover. A number of large real estate transac tions have taken place in Tallapoosa within the past week, and negotiations are pending for other big deals. A land and improve ment company is being organized. One day last week L. A Vincent, of Greensboro, killed four hawks, one rabbit and a partridge in three shots. The largast hawk measure. 1 4 feet 3 inches from tip to tip, and the smallest 3 feet 8 inches. Thera are two married students attending college at Athens, one being the father of children. Hi 9 wife also attends or did at tend recently one of our female institutes. The husband is in the fresh class and the wife in the junior. The County Commissioners of Oconee county met Wednesday and agreed to build the new court house on the same place where the old one stood. They purchased the lot of 8. O. Hutcherson, adjoining the court house square, for $lO a front foot. Monday evening's mail brought to Lex ington a letter from New York addressed to “Any member of the family of George Rockingham Gilmer.” It has Deen many a year since Gov. Gilmer or any of his family lived in Lexington. Some of his family are yet in Virginia, however, to whom the letter was forwarded. Last week as one of the hands employed by L. L. Evans, of Smithville, to cut wood was felling a tree he felt something tighten ing around his leg, and looking down was horrified to find that he was standing on the head of a huge moccasin which had coiled its body around him. He was not long in extricating himself, when he fled the place in terror. Salt is certain death to fowls of any kind. Tom Thornton, of Hartwell, lost over 100 Brown Leghorn and Plymouth Rock chickens in one day by feeding them on dough in which some ‘ one had put salt without his knowledge. A gentleman in Athens lost nearly all of his chickens by letting them feed around where cows had been salted. At M. A Oliver’s plantation in Green county a day or two ago, a hawk dipped down into the yard and caught four chickens at once. He was making off with his prey, when a negro ran imt and set up such a hallowing he lost his grip and dropped all the chickens in a Jump. Two of them were dead. But the other two seemed nono the worse for their ride. Mr. Harris, who is superintending E. D. Northrup’s farm near Greensboro, bos in his possession a watch charm which he would like to return to the owner. The charm was picked up on the battlefield of Cold Harbor, Juue 2, 1864, and bears the initials M. M P., company N, Eighth Georgia regiment. Any one recognizing the initials can get the charm by applying and proving ownership. It has been romarked several times that the rock in Adairsville was valuable. An old quarryman once said he would guaran tee $4 to $5 clear on the rock that crops out of the central part of the town. It was never thought much of, but it turns out now that the town is built on a bed of black marble of the finest grade. It is susceptible of a high polish, and there is no doubt about the durability, as there are sidewalks there that have been standing some time. Buena Vista Patriot: A flower rarely seen in this section bloomed out in the flower Sarden at the home of Prof. Forrester a few ays ago. It has somewhat the apjiearance of a calla lily, though the bloom has but one large leaf of a dark redish color, witli a long Eetal in its centre and extending above the road leaf. . The flower if not known to the professor’s family, but It is supposed to be a dragon’s tongue. The odor is like unto a dead cat, and is no doubt symbolical of the foul breath of the dragon. Miss Marv Ha. den, living on Hancock avenue, Athens, has been at death’s door for several days, aud is not expected to live. Miss Harden was at one time engaged to Howard Payne, and is now in possession of the original manuscript of “Home, Sweet Home, that was given her by the author. It is reported that Miss Harden has left pro visions in her will to have this paper, together with a number of letters written her by Payne, interred with her body. She has a hon or of anyone seeing these token* of a dead love. Miss Harden is possessed of quite a snug little fortune. The protracted revival meeting that was carried ou at Kastman for two weeks at the Methodist church by Rev. T. M. Christian, pastor of that church, resulted in thirtv-one accession* to the church membership in Kastman, twenty-four by professions of faith and seven by letter. One of the best features of the meeting was that, although it was a Methodist revival carried on by a Methodist minister in a Methodist church, yet when the doors of the church were opened the pastor invariably announced that liis puriswe was not simply to convert the people to Methodism, but to get them to unite themselves with any good Christian denomination, hence he would receive their applications for membership and give their names to the pastor of any Christian oliurch they might wish to join. In response to these invitations tiwee persons applied for mcmliership in the Presbyterian duurch, two for membership in the Baptist church, and the rest of the number above mentioned joined the Methodist church. Tallapoosa Journal: M. M. Land, of Lime Branch, gave us a call yesterday, and showed us a little stone, more like a dia mond than anything we have seen. It is alwut an inch one way and a fourth the other. One end is conical in shupe and forms a five pointed star, the five even sides continuing down the surface of the stone. It readily plows its way through glass and sparkles like a diamond. It was found by a littlo daughter of Mr. I<&nd’s in a ravine on Mr. Janies Mc- Curry’s place. Miss Tally, living near Tal lapoosa, and t.ho ) possessor of the supposed rough diamond, was in town Saturday, and many were allowed to look at thir. wonder ful stone. It is nearly a< large as a partridge in-ocular in shape, .vith rough, hurd Through small crevices in the Hif surface it radiates a dazzling light. with h, as its position is changed, takes on tints of the rainbow. Several Intel - t and well-read men have expressed the that it is a genuine diamond. conviction last week of Fred Morgan filth murder of Emma Lewis ou Dec. ‘A’i, Br. and hi* being sentenced to be hanged, tnihg* up the subject of hanging in Jeiror- Uptf county. In Iks •ember, IH4J, the last "AAljtutiop took place in that county, when negroes were banged, two being exe one week and throe the following JPMe They wens sentenced to death for vuinicruuc thoir owner, Robert Cunning | ham. who lived on what is now known as I the Cason plaoo. W. S. Alexander was ; Sheriff at the time, and * exe cuted the sentence of the law. He says there was great ex citement at that time, as that murder was thought to be Uic beginning of an outbreak on the part of those in slavery. One of the negroes shot Cunningham through a win dow while he was at supper. He was a lit erarv man, and at the tune had Ainsworth’s Latin dictionary open on the table before him. D. J. Alexander now owns the book, and traces of blood can yet be seen on it. About seven years before'the hanging of the Cunningham murderers a negro named Humphrey Lee was banged for murdering his owner, a Mr. Lee. Those are the only persons ever hanged in the county. Lexington Echo: His royal nibs, the chief of the star route postal department, is now an object of much execration within the village of Lexington, and has been since ■Wednesday morning. And it is all due to the mail schedule from Crawford to Lexing ton. For some years past the mail line form this village to the railroad station has made regular trips, morning and evening, oftentimes bringing our mail after the arri val of each tram, and otherwise proving a great convenience to the business men and citizens of the county site. Our mail was carried out every morning and we received the daily papers and other mail from up and down the road at 5:30 o’clock. But without a word of warning this arrangement was knocked sky-high on last Wednesday, and the mail only arrives in Lexington'once a day, and at the most un seasonable hour—3 o’clock in the afternoon —over an hour before the train carrying the mail arrives at Crawford. Under this most excellent arrangement—in which the par ties responsible for it have shown tneir p over and their narrow-minded igno r mce—the people of Lexington receive their njgil twenty.four hours after it reaches Crawford: to-morrow we will read to-day’s papers; next week we will receive this week’s mail; and thus, fall ing a day behind each day, according to all rules of logic, the good citizens of Lexing ton will one day find themselves back in the sixteenth century, wearing long hair, and paying tribute to the crown of England. A petition setting forth the fact was imme diately drawn up, and hurried on to the de partment at Washington. FLORIDA. Cocoa’s Messenger is now called the Mirror. Vegetables are being shipped in large quantities from the Manatee river section. The Orlando Gas Company have com menced work in earnest and are hard at work laying their mains through the prin cipal streets and avenues. When a few more shares are taken the Chipola Hotel Company will begin to erect then- building at Marianna. They are in hopes of commencing on it about Aug. 1, and have it ready to open by winter. Whitney & Hodges, owners of the Sat suma mills, have just sold that property and 4,000 acres of land to a party of Canadian capitalists. The consideration was $12,000. The new company bought the land for the purpose of securing the valuable cypress timber, which they propose to saw up and ship. A son of George Hamilton, of Lake Howell, was quite seriously injured by the accidental discharge of a gun a few'days ago. In taking his gun out of a boat he pulled it toward himself by the barrel, when it was discharged. At last accounts the young man was doing well, and it is hoped that he is not permanently injured. J. H. Livingston has sold a part of 8. Brower’s homestead on the famous Wekiwa or Blue river, to Messrs. Van Berschot & Barnard, of Savannah, Ga. The price paid was $125 per acre. These gentlemen have been doing the State in their line (lightning rods) for the past two winters, and say they have never seen anything to compare with Blue Springs for beauty. At a meeting of the stockholders of the Hillsborough Loan and Abstract Company, of Tampa, Hugh C. MacFarlano resigned as secretary and J. A. Graham was elected to the vacancy. W. N. Conoley and Hugh C. MacFarlan'e resigned as directors and John A. and H. E. Graham were elected in their places. The company has oraered a safe de posit vault with 100 boxes. Monday morning the family of John Pre vdfct, living about nine miles west of. Bron son, put their little baby boy on a quilt near the stove, and went out to attend to their cattle, when a piece of fire fell from the stove, igniting the quilt and bunied the babe to death. Mr. Prevatt heard the screams of the child, but did not reach it in time to prevent the fire from burning it fatally. Joe Daniels, a fireman on the Tavares, Orlando and Apopka road, fell from the Thurstlav evening train from Orlando when uear McDonald. He was missed shortly afterward, and, on the arrival of the train at Tavares, a locomotive ran back and brought him to town. He was on the out side of the tender aud rolled off into a sand bank; bruising him somewhat, but causing no serious injuries. A few days ago Rufus Green, a lad about 14 or 15 years of age, living near Neel’s Landing, was the victim of a horrible acci dent. While sitting on the front porch at his borne he wm handling a “British bull dog” pistol No. 38, when the only loaded barrel in the pistol was accidentally fired. The ball entered his right eye, knocking tliat entirely out, and now remains lodged in the back of his head. He spoke only a word or two, and was senseless until last Monday, when he showed signs of con sciousness. He is the son of Mrs. W. P. Whatley, of Chipley, who was summoned immediately to the bedside of her dying son. At last accounts he was better, ana continues to do well. Dr. Boatright, of Madison, has a curiosity which he secured on a recent trip to Lowndes county, Ga., which, had it lived, would have-been one of tho greatest freaks of nature known to scieuce. It is nothing less than a kitten, or a pair of kittens, joined together, ala Siruese twins, having one head, tivo bodies and tails, seven legs and eight feet. The bodies join just behind the shoulders, and two legs protrude from the breast wliere they usually came from the feline body. The hind legs and caudal appendages occupy the places usual to the cat tribe. The seventh leg, however, which supports two of the feet, projects from the back and between the junction of the bodies. This leg seems to be about twice the size of the others, and it is believed that two sets of bones are contained in the skin which covers it. There is a curious specimen of the hog aboard the French bark Guayaquil, now lying alongside of Palafox wharf, Pensa cola. About the size of a shote, he has no tail, his bristles ore much longer than those seen on the average hog, and his ears, of proportionate size, are manipulated in much the same munner as a rabbit’s—thrown for ward and laid back with perfect grace. He has a teat-shaped excrescence on the back bone, the use of which his owners do not know. If he was a little tailor, a little longer and a little thinner, despite the rab bit-working ears and the absence of a tail, he would make a first-class razor-back. The brute is of a specie# found in control Prance, where they run wild, and are a much-sought game by sportrcneu. This fellow coma from Venezuela, and is doubtless descended from French exportations of the family. Some mouths ago circulars were sent out over Florida offering $134 for the host ton essays against the liquor traffic, to lie writ ten by the youth of the State under 20 years old.

The crowd that went to Mobile last Sunday tell a good one on Fred Humphreys, to the fol lowing effect: Fred stopoed into a fashiona ble barber shop in the Gulf City, in which were all the modern electrical appliances to facilitate tonsorial work. The gang sized Fred up, and one of them, stepping to a “button," touched off a bell: instantly the gang became all attention, and a spokesman sang out “Mempnis!” another ring and the spokesman continued “Cartwright to bat.” The Pensacola "boy, who knows all about base ball and the names of every player in the Southern League, opened wide his eyes in amazement, and audibly remarked that it beat anything he ever saw. The gang worked him for all he was worth, and, as the bell tapped one, two, three, four and other tap having respective signifi cance, ostensibly, Fro 1 went wild, as, with the constant ringing of the bell, in the sonorous tone of the spokesman's voice, was announced: “Cartwright makes a home run!” “Wells knocks a three-bagger!” “Pcnwoll foul and out!” The whole game was transmitted to Freddie in this manner and he was ready to throw his hat in the air and yell like a Comanche, when the score “New Orleans. 18; Memphis, nothing!” was announced.' The gang then went and rang a church bell on him. Since the completion of the Jacksonville, Tampa and Key West railway to Titusville and the establishment of regular service by steamboat on Indian river, almost all com munication from Sanford by the upper St. John’s steamers with IndianVi ver has ceased. Many persons have thought that the former steamboat line from Sanford to Lake Poin sett hail collapsed and with it the Lake Poinsett Wharf Company. Things are not as dead as they seem. At the last meeting of the company it was decided to raise their capital stock to SIO,OOO, which is permiss able under their charter, purchase the steamer Waumta, and put her on the line again between Sanford and Lake Poinsett. Arrangements are already made with a steamboat line running between Jacksonville and Sanford for close connec tion at the latter place for freight and pas sengers, aud an agreement entered into witu the managing partner of a strong linn to run in connection with then- steamer to be put on Indian river from Cocoa to Eden. To render the transfer from Cocoa to Lake Poinsett easy and quick it is contemplated to build a good steel rail tram road across from river to river, the estimates for which are all made and preliminaries at tended to. The capital stock of the com pany is in 100 shares at SIOO per share. Of this 40 per cent, is now offered for sale. A STORY OF TWO ARTISTS. Something About Men Who Have Had Queer Adventures. New York, May 14.—Paul Frenzeny, the artist who went with the Wild West show to England, has had many queer adventures in his time. He is the son of a Hungarian nobleman and was educated in France at the Polytechnique. He fought in Algiers as a lieutenant of a mounted battery and was with the French army in the Italian cam paign. He was a first lieutenant under Maximilian in Mexico, and when that un fortunate invader and his schemes of con quest disappeared in a puff of powder smoke, Frenzeny came to New York and studied drawing under John N. Hyde. While he was studying in Hyde’s studio he inherited $40,000. He left the studio and proceeded to get rid nt his money in various expeditious ways. First he went to Cali fornia and bought a ranch. He managed to float away a go<>d part of his inheritance in a highly ingenious irrigating ditch. Then'he formed an art partnership with Jules Tavernier and traveled through Cali fornio and other parts of the West, making drawing? for the illustrated papers. The name of Frenzeny and Tavernier were at one time familiar to the readers of the illus trated weeklies, being at the bottom of many spirited pictures of wild scenes on the frontier. After separating from Tavernier, Frenzeny came Eastjmd sunk the remainder of his money in a New Jersey swamp, which he mistook for a farm. Again he applied himself to art and some of its Bohemian accompaniments, and for the last few years he bucked against hard luck. When'Nate Saulsbury offered him a salary to travel with the Wild West circus as the -‘Cowboy Artist,’’ the proposition ap pealed to his love of adventure and his necessities. He put on a sombrero, tucked his trousers into his bootlegs, polished up his rusty frontier vocabulary and six shooter, and climbed aboard the steamship along with the buffaloes, the big Injuns and the bronchos. Paul will paint the prairie fires, illustrate heartrending massacres and hairbreadth escapes on canvases as big as houses and do " cartoon sketching in the show to astonish the cockneys and corral their guineas. Tavernier was even more of a Bohemian than Frenzeny. He settled in Son Fran cisco.and for many years painted pictures in his studio and kept the door barred against heartless creditors. Tavernier was some thing of a genius in art. His pictures were strong and he sold them for high prices. Although he made much money be was al ways in debt and perpetually on the ragged edge of ruin. When he sole! a picture he in vited all the good fellows to dine with him at the Poodle Dog and drowned them iu champagne. For a week his studio was the scene of revelry. The price of the picture disappeared like fog in tho sunshine, and then he remembered his debts and tore his hair. He appealed to his friends. He was ruined. His creditors would seize his studio. He was in despair, anil if he could not get S2OO before night lie would commit suicide. The impulsive, irrational Frenchman meant it, and his friends gave him the money. He called it a loan and imagined that it was, but they knew it was a gift. With money in his pocket his spirits' re turned, the' world looked bright and the ! creditors were hull down on the horizon. Another champagne supper, to which the lender was invited with impressive and effusive gratitude, was the result. Then more work, another sale, the same old story, and. a weary dance for the creditors. At last tho friends became fewer. Some died, some left California, some lost itience anil some ceased to believe in the artist's theatrical despair. But the despair was genuine. One day not lung ago Jules Tav ernier was found hanging; dead, in tho stu dio that he hud barred against his bote noir, the insatiable creditor. Wan Lee. BELOVED BY A SPARROW. The Attentions Bestowed on a Lady by an Affectionate Bird. A quoer story of faithful affection be tween a bird and a kind-hearted woman liv ing in Somerville is vouched for by those who are conversant with the facts in the case, says the New York Telegram. In the Hill building, overlooking Union Square, in Somerville, is a cozy suite of rooms, winch have been occupied for the last six years by Mrs. Marion W. West, As long ago as when .Mrs. West first took up her abode in her present apart ments she noted tho visits of* a great many English sparrows to hor win dows. This in itself did not excite more than passing notice; but there was one little fellow who was most pcndstcot in his at tempts at recognition on the part of Mrs. West, and toon she became aware that her tiny visitor renewed his calls two or three times daily. Soon she learned his peculiar song-like chatter, and she oftentimes threw up tin; sash to fn-d and winningly talk to her illumed friend. It must be remem bered that these visits t>ogan six years ago, aud not a day, summer or winter, iu the time that has since elapsed, has the bird misMsd in making bis appear ance. Strange to relate, however, are some of tho experiences Mrs. West has bad with tho bifd while away from home. Several summers ago she and a friend went out into the country, some distance from Somerville, to gatlwr flowers. \\ hue in a field plucking daisies Mrs. West heard t:ia whistle of her feathered pot. and on looking up he was close at her hands, as pleased as possible at the attention she bestowed upon him. From that time forth it was no un usual occurrence to have the intelligent bird make his appearance and do escort duty for the lady to whom he is so deeply attached. Of all the strange expeditions, two are strikingly remarkable. One day Mrs. West took an open car via the Charles river route, intending to visit Boston. When about two miles from Somerville, while go ing at a rapid pace, she heard a peculiar flutter over her head among the looped-up curtains. She raised her eyes, and there, perched on the iron rod ninning across the car, was the sparrow, seemingly saying: “Oh, lam here!” He rode with the car until Mrs. West alighted, when lie disap peared. Again Mrs. West started for Boston on a shopping tour, and proceeded by a circuit ous route. When she arrived in the city she visited one of the well-known stores on Tre mont street, and while completing her er rand her attention was attracted by the note of a bird. She inquired of the attendant whether they kept a bird, and upon receiving an answer in the negative she stepped to the window, where sat her admirer, the sparrow-. SUMMER RESORTS.
