Ellaville's academy stands forth ns a monument of the nickel business, the Ella viile Reading Club having tastefully painted the building from the proceeds of the re ceipts of tne club by weekly nickel dues. The removal of the small belfry and build ing a larger ono would materially improve the appearance of the building. The Riverside mill, on tho Conecuh river, is again idle. The man Lockhart, who was in charge of and funning the mill, has skipped out, leaving all the hands and the men who furnished the logs unpaid.

His daughter was walk ing over the crest of a hillside where an old fence once stood, and, seeing something bright, picked up a small rock which she broke off the main lead, and the bright sub stance proved to be a nugget of gold weigh ing two and a half pennyweights.

Last Saturday the attorneys for the caveators in the Dickson will case notified the executors of the will not to pay out any money or distribute any of the legacies of the estate. This notice stated that those attorneys represented some of the-heirs-at law of Dickson who wore not bound by the late probate of the will, since tty-y had never been notified of the same, and also that tho motion to mnke the late judgment of the Supreme Court in that case the judgment of the Superior Court of Han cock county, would lie resisted on the ground that the judgment which the Su preme Court rendered was not legally the judgment of that court. Last Monday a considerable crowd of Crawfordsville gentlemen went out on Little river seining. They were hav ing a nice time until they reached deep wa ter. Messrs. J. SV. Tucker and E. C. Go lueko were both pulling one staff of the seine, when suddenly they dropped into water considerably o ver their heads. They both liegan to sink. Ed Golueko sank only once and gained strength enough to come out, but Will Tucker went under the third time aud the crowd gave him up as gone, but finally he came to tho surface of the water and made his escape.

On Friday afternoon the lower part of Dawson received the attention of the light ning in striking a tree situated near the old wooden drug store.

The doc tor at that time was reclining upon a couch in his office near the door and almost in a line with the tree that was struck, hut was uninjured, excepting a slight shock from the electricity. Pieces of the bark of the tree were thrown by the force of the lightning over tlv doctor. Mr. Stokes, who occupies the brick building below as a store, and who was in front of his building at the time, was considerably shocked, and for a while was to a certain extent, paralyzed in one of his arms. Master C. W. Moore, of Perry, has been collecting bird eggs during the last three years. He now has about 250 eggs, includ ing about 40 distinct varieties. ‘ He expels the meat and preserves the shells. Some of the specimens are very rare. The varieties embraced in the collection are as follows: Mockingbird, blackbird, nonpareil, catbird, jay, thresher, beemartin, redhead wood pecker, yellowhnmmer, partridge, bullbat, robin, goldfinch, redbird, chicken, guinea, goose, blue crane,pigeon, dove, rnin crow, black martin, swallow, blue bird, ori ole, canary, ground wren, chimney sweep, wood wren, swamp wren, house wren, Eng lish sparrow, swinging bird, gnat catcher, greensparrow, tailor bird, blue heron, spar row hawk. Some of the names given here are not ornithological, but will designate them clearly to the understanding of all. In the collection he also has gopher, turtle and snake eggs. Willie Colyer also lias a choice collection, embracing 49 eggs and 30 distinct varieties. j Some of the society young men of Ameri cus when out calling upon their young lady friends are sometimes pronS to linger later than they probably should, thus keeping the fair ones up later than is good for their health. A “stern parent,” at whose home a pair of sweet dudes called a night or two since, decided to break up the business if there was efficacy whatever in a gentle hint, so a considerable time after the clock had rung out the hour of midnight and the enamored youths still lingered, he quiptly entered the parlor with a tray liberally loaded with a sub stantial breakfast and invited the pair to partake thereof. They “caught on” at once, and replying that ' their good landlady would doubtless expect them to breakfast at, home, iieat an instant retreat. They of course feel a little sore over the affair, while the old gent has figured that what ho may probably lose in son-in-law he will more than save in the cost of kerosene and doctor’s bills. Last week a dog belonging in Thomas viile showed signs of rabidness and he was immediately taken up. He was vicious, and tried to bite everything with which he came in contact. Marshal Spair was sent for, and by strategic means he fastened the dog and carried hini-to the city pound. It so liap jiened that the city had several dogs which were to be killed that day, and, as an ex periment, three of them were placed in the same room with the mad dog, to investi gate the matter thoroughly. This was done at tho suggestion of Dr. T. M. Mclntosh. As soon as the mad dog could get to the other dogs he rushed upon them and severely bit all three of thorn. The marl dog was then tied and after several spasmodic attacks died in n few hours. In tne afternoon Dr. Mclntosh cut up the dead dog and after dissecting the parts he dis covered nothing except a slight inflamma tion of tho liver. The other dogs still re main in the pound, and will bo kept for such a length of time as the doctor directs, to see what effect will be hail upon them. Much interest is felt in the matter, and we trust a satisfactory conclusion will lie reached. If any discovery can be made, Dr. Mclntosh is the man to do it. Charles Collier has been elected President of a company that has purchased a talc mine on the Marietta and North Georgia root!, with Jacob Haas as Vico President, J. It. Tollerson Secretary, and Edward S. Me- Candlees Treasurer. The price paid for the mine was $50,000 cash. The capital of the company is $300,000. Improvements to cost $50,000 will he put in at once. The mill now used for grinding the taie in Atlanta will be moved to the works and very much en larged. It is claimed that this is the only pure talc mine in America. Nine-tenths of the talc now used is imported from Italy, Messrs. Pettil & Cos., of New York, control ling the importing trade. This Georgia talc has been submitted to that firm, who pro nounce it superior to Italian talc, ami in the market it is sold at $3 advance over tho im ported article. The mine is practically ex haustless and easily quarried. Tho talc is (married in huge blocks, ground through tne mill into fine powder, packed into seam less bags and sent to market. It is used mainly for making soaps and lubricators of nil kinds. It is also an adulterant for sugar, starch, flour and candy, and is the liasis of many of tho fine face powders. The com pany can put the tale in New York at $8 a ton. It commands. In that market, from *23 to S4D a ton. The demand is constant, This quarry has been owned by the com jmny for some time. When it was bought the railroad was sixty miles distant, and tho tali'was quarried and hauled that dis tance across the mountains in wagons, and still sold at a profit. The Marietta and North Georgia road now runs within fifty loot of the quarry, and the marginal profit thus becomes immensely enlarged. It Is proposed to put fifty hands at work. FLORIDA. Efforts are tieing made to have a well bored on the public square at Anthony. It is so healthy at Newnan ville that the doctors have closed up their shops and gone to the springs. Levy county reports land sales within the last two weeks that will reach from $235,- 000 to *250,000. Mr. C. B.

Mr. Miley Shelfer, of Concord, has been offered $1 per pound for his growing crop of “Sumatrie tobacco,” which is said to lie one of the finest crops in the country. Mr. Shelfer is an old ana knows how to handle the weed. The members of the Orlando Woman’s Christian Temperance Union have organized a military company of twenty-six young boys, under the name of the Loyal Legion. The company will begin drilling as soon as a suitable room can be seciired. The big ditch which a number of Italians have been digging at Pablo Beach, for the purpose of draining the land into Pablo creek, was finished Thursday. The cost of cutting the same was about $5,000. From 100 to 100 Italians were constantly on it for nearly two months. A meeting of representative colored men was held at Maitland Thursday, the object of which was to take steps looking to tne holding of a colored people’s fair somewhere in South Florida in February next. The towns of South Florida will be canvassed, and that one offering the greatest induce ment will catch the fair. The old building that has served as a warehouse for the Florida Railway and Navigation Company for many years at Maclenny was torn down this week. This was one of the old land marks of the place and its being removed will make a great improvement in the appearance of the place though it will be missed by many. When the proposils for carrying the mails between Tampa and Havana were opened and examined at Washington, it was found that none of them were satisfatory, and so all were rejected.

The DeLand military company had their first drill Monday evening, in the large hall in tiie Haven Block, which will probably be fitted up and used as an armory.

It is 125 feet 8 inches nigh, 12 feet in diameter and built of thirty sections of heavy boiler iron, hejd together by rivets. It is filled from Highland Laki by a 12 inch pif>e, and holds 238,000 gallons of water, with a pressure of (15 pounds. It is well worth visiting, and an adventurous person may ascend to the top by an iron ladder fastened to the side. The drilling on tho DeLand artesian well is progressing, the lost drill point having been disposed of by drilling a pocket in one side of the well and pushing the point into it. This was done by making a crooked drill and drilling only one side until a pocket large enough was formed to receive tho lost drill point and deep enough so that it would be out of the way when the well was continued on down. Two hundred and twenty feet is the depth now reached. A. McWilliams, who came from Virginia in February, and who recently went into partnership with Sheldon & Cos., of Lake Helen, went with Mr. Sheldon to Jackson ville, about two weeks ago, to buy goods, and while there concltnlea to go on to New York for the same purpose, since whicli time nothing has been heard from him.

The men engaged in tho work make contracts with the Bonifay Manufacturing Com jany for all timber not suitable for saw logs, which they manufacture into ties and sdl to the Pensacola and Atlantic railway at remunerative prices. They got 23c. for pine aud 37c. for cypress. Tho fatter, however, is generally so Inaccessible to get out, or else so far off from tho track, that it scarcely pays to bother with it. Ties are in great do maud just now, trom the fact mat tie officials are making a general overhaul of the road. The tops of trees from which saw logs have been taken if of sufficient dimensions nro all utilized by the tie men. Capt. Rose, of Kissimmee City, has re turned from Philadelphia, laden with big news from Florida. A syndicate, of which Hamilton Disston and a son of the late Col. Tom Scott are tho principle members, has purchased the famous Rio Grande sugar mills and refinery at Rio Grande, New Jer sey, a plant that at enormous cost, and aided by munificent bounties from the i-ituto, was established to develop the sorghum industry, and which made n colossal failure. It is said to !x> the finest sugar machinery in America. It was bought by the syndicate for only $70,000. It will require very mmiv cars to transport it. and the freights are likely to 1' about $30,000. The syndicate also bought Capt. Rose's famous St. Cloud plantation, on which he lias an immense cane farm. The new factory has a capacity of utjout 65,000 pounds of new sugar )ier day.

Workmen are at work over the river framing the bridge, and parties have contracts to get out the logs. To complete this enterprise will oc cupy about, ninety days, if the weather is favorable. As to the passage for teams and passengers on foot., that is left to the city and county to decide. It would require at least $10,(i()0 additional, and the Jieeping in repair would amount to no little in the course of a year. The White road has dis posed of its narrow gauge rolling stock, anil by the time the bridge is completed it will lie changed into the standard gauge. There are prepn rht ions being made by the DeLand fire laddies to give a grand cele bration on the Fourth, which will, in all pointsof amusement, eclips' 1 anything given since the town Was organized, not excepting the long-to be-remeinbered celebration of 1878.

Informant: Tallahassee, the old Indian chief, whose village is between twenty five and forty miles from Bartow, came to the city last Saturday laden with fill's, pelts, moccasins, etc., tor sale, accompanied by one of his granddaughters and her little pieaniunv, a bright little girl of about nine years. The mother seemed tp be loaded with strings of beads, coiled in about fifty coils around her shapely neck, brought up to ft close at tho top. near her ears, with a single string of beads and silver 25c. pieces alternating. Her dress waist was decorated with rows of round pieces of tin, concave in shape and about the size of a silver dollar. Her little girl was likewise decorated, except the tin. The old chief is said to be about 70 years old, though his form is still as straight as an arrow, and his steps are- steady and his gait regular. He succeeded in selling all his goods at remunerative prices, and, after investing some of his hard-earned money in groceries, powder, shot, etc., ac companied ov his grandchildren, he took his leave of Bartow, and wended his way to ward his Indian village, which place he hoped to reach by 12 o’clock Saturday night. Florida’s Strawberries. Correspondence of the Times-Union. Lawtky, June 21. —By the courtesy of Col. Shipman, railroad and express agent here, lam enabled to present a detailed statement of the amount of strawberries shipped from this station during tho season just passed: Bushels. Quarts. Purling 2,826 90.432 Cook & Cos 563 18,016 By Express 879 12,128 To Jacksonville 67 2,144 Total 8.885 122,720 Estimating that the berries netted the growers 18c. a quart, which I think is a lair estimate all round, the strawberry business brought to Lawtev this season the handsome little sum of *22,089 60. We are not dis posed to boast over this achievement, for we expect to do still better another year, but it is a tolerably good exhibit for a beginning, for a majority of the growers had never shipped a berry before last spring. If any other single station in Florida can, by an itemized • statement show that it snipped more strawberries the past season— berries grown in'the immediate vicinity and not including anv that simply passed the station,fstopping there.to be reshipped—then it shall wear the belt, otherwise, Lawtey will lay claim to it. Besides the berries, there have been ship ped by W. B. Smith, J. W. C. Peters, M. Knickerbocker, W. Todd, William Fisher and a few others, about 200 bushels of Peen to and Honey poaches. This is not a large quantity, it is true, but is very creditable for a set of orchards, very few of which are over four years old. Most of these peaches have netted the shippers about $1 75 a bushel, and the crate returned. Savannah has been a tolerably good market for peaches. Rough on Piles.” Why suffer piles?
