dered affirming ttie verdict of the lower

A little negro girl about (5 years old,
daughter of Sarah Thornton, who lives at

while playing with u little brother, a year
or two older, in a bateau, fell out and was
drowned. The mother heard the screams of
the boy and on reaching the place saw the
child struggling in the water, some fifty
yards lielow. She got into the boat and
pulled out after it. On getting near, her
anxiety to rescue her child was so great, and

the water was shallow, she managed to save
herself.
The Indian spear heads placed on exhibi
tion at Albany Thursday by F. F. Putney,
attracted a great deal of attention. Crowds

gent gentleman, who knew of the traditions
handed from the Indians found in that sec
tion, advanced the opinion that the imple
ments were relies of the mound builders,
who preceded the Indians in the occupation
of this country. He stated tiiat the Indians
found lien* by the white pioneers never used
the flint arrow and sjiear heads, so numer
ous on our streams, and had no traditions of
the nice that fashioned them. Dr. T. Jones
confirmed this theory, and said that at the
time of the Harrison freshet he resided on a
farm south of Albany, on the Flint, and
that the water washing the earth uncove list
a part of the skeleton of n man that must
have bt*en fully ten foot high.

his eyes ami doing serious damage. Young
Harbig fared better, although tie too was
painfully hurt, his faro and neck having
lieen badly splattered. He closed his eyes
in time and both were untouched. The two
men suffered intensely, although medical
aid was immediately summoned, and their
monies and exclamations of pain touched the
hearts of all present. Hom|istroet was com
pletely blinded and was carried to the hos
pital.

confinement had actually kicked its feet
through the belly of the snake, and was
walking about trying to find its way out of

lower part of the snake’s liody. The snake
was promptly killed and found to contain
sixteen rattles. The pig was carried homo
and is doing well.
