Only about six digests have been received so far, and every one shows an increase ex cept that from Forsyth county. There is no particular reason why that county should fall short. At Cuthbert on Tuesday,July 26, there will be a gander pulling, beef shooting, walking match, water fight, reel racing and other amusements, to last all day, and free to everybody. During a recent week of self-denial the members of the Woman’s Foreign Mission ary Society in Washington, raised about $32. This was over and above what they regularly pay in. The work on W. C.

The Work on the Presbyterian church nt Gainesville is progressing rapidly. On tear ing down the old church to make room for the new one now being erected, a short piece of neatly planed plank was found be tween the plastering and weather Giants, on which was neatly written with u lead pencil the following: “8. T Brooks, Master Car penter, 1859, Gainesville, Ga.” There were 5,000 strangers, more or less, in Dawson last Friday, but out of all that numtier only one arrest was made, ami that whm the arrest of a man for cruelly whip ping his lions'. Considering the vast con course of spectators who had traveled many a weary nolo to soo a fellow-being launched into eternity,and were disappointed In their expectations, a very orderly and tranquil state of affairs prevailed. Avery unique sort of letter was received at the Ktnte house at Af lonta Thursday from someone in Hutts county. The letter was directed to the Governor in care of Mr. Pled gar, probably the well-known colons! politician, “Bill" Pledger. The writer wants a “milcntary company,” and would like to have the “ordar a limit it.” He declares lJiat there are twenty-five members “and they is all reddv." It is not likely that Adjt. Gen. Kell, to whom the matter was referred, will take any action about it. At Villa Rica last Bundav evening a Crowd of small hoys, both' white and colored, were playing close to town on a branch when a row arose, and the negro boys were routed. One negro boy aliout 7 years olu got so liodly scared he kept going till he reached the farm of Mi-. Coleman on tiwuet water Greet, uliout four miles norm ®f vow it. He eauj*.: there <d put in a room and went to sleep. A party of t,.on who tracked him found him at 2 o’clock Monday morning. Hr was badly frightened. On South Jackson st reet, just beyond the one mile post !mm Thomasville, is an Al bino child, about -1 yeai* of age. Its com plexion is of a peculiar whiteness, having not the slightest trace of African blood. Tho palms of its hands and soles of its feet are of a deeper pink flesh color than chil dren generally have. Its hair is as white as show and coarse and straight. Its parents are both black and this is the third issue from the same union possessing these re markable features, the other two having died at an early age. The child would never tie taken for a mulatto, but its pecu liar complexion and hair show it to be a real albino Last week a serious cutting affray oc curred at tho house of J. H. Black, in Catoosa county, between George Gentry and James Vann. An old feud existed be tween the two for some time, and the other evening it culminated in a stabbing affray. The two men were at supper when the quar rel began. Gentry got up from the table and went out into the yard, saying that if Vann wanted a difficulty he could have it outside. Without more ado Vaun rushed out into tho yard, and drawing a murder ous looking knife stabbed Gentry in two places and then bolted. The wounded man made an attempt to follow him, but fell to the ground, overcome with the loss of blood. Dr. Carson dressed his wounds and found them to lie quite severe, though not neces sarily' of a fatal character. Zaek Calloway and 'folio Scarborough were colaborers on tho farm of G. W. Martin, in Ix-e county. Zaek was reported to Mr. Martin by Tribe for slighting his work, which angered Zaek, and lie plotted to be avenged. Wednesday while the two were plowing in the field Zaek aceflstod Tobe with bate In Ids heart and curses on his lips. Tobe warned him not to e.urse him, when Zaek replied that he would do worse than curse, lie would kill him; and suiting his actions to his words, drew a knife and mode for Tolie, who drew his knife and acted on the defensive. As Znck came in reach with his drawn knife, Tolie avoided his thrust and plunged his knife blade into his neck, just back of the ear. The wounded negro ran for a short distance and fell dead. The slayer is supported by a consciousness of having done the fearful deed in his own defense, and has not, nor will he, muko any attempt to escape. At Ferry, Monday, E. L. Felder went into the Superior Court room and there found an owl as a prisoner. In exhibiting it tho owl < scaissl, and it was then shot and killed by Dr. M. W. Havis, after an exciting chase. The bird is supposed to lie of the common species of the large swamp owl. In color it is a most beautiful bird. The under part of the body pure white ground, witli regular spots of silver grav; under part. of wings pearl white; face white; long and slender yellow beak; eyes coal black; on the back an indescribable mingle of creamy buff, white and silver gray; top of wings marked like the back, white preponderating; tail short, creamy white, with regular bars of silver gray. The measurement was about three feet from tip to tip of tho outstretched wings. The owl will lie placed ill the hands of a skilled taxidermist, and when properly mounted will be placed in tho Ferry Public Library Hall. George R. Brown, the Hancock county Treasurer, failing, for some reason not pub licly known, to appear with his books before the grand jury at the last April term of the Superior Court, n rule was issued against him by the Judge of that court, Judge Boynton then presiding, requiring him to appear before the court at its October term to show cause why he did not apiiear before tho grand jury in April, and also why he should not be attached for contempt. The Board of Roads and Revenues of the comity cited him to appear before them last That* day and show cause why he did not pay or ders presented hi him us County Treasurer. This he failed to answer. The Ixiard cited him again to appear lief ore them on Tuesday last. The citation he answered under oath, saying that he had paid all legal orders presented to him; that he could not appear in person be fore the board, since he was confined to his bed by sickness, and that ho did not recog nize the hoard as having any jurisdiction in the matter, especially since ttie treasury department, of the county was being investi gated by another tribunal, referring to the rule of the Judge of the Superior Court and to the jurisdiction which the grand jury had over him as Treasurer. This answer the board deemed evasivo and insufficient, and so declared tho office of Treas urer vie-ant, appointed J. T. Riley, clerk of the Superior Court, as temporary Treasurer, ordered anew election for Treasurer on Aug. it, and issued executions against Mr. Brown and his securities for the amounts which he failed to pay on orders that had lieon presented to him. Mr. Brown is now and has been for some time quite sick, confined to his bed. He claims, however, tlmt he is able to make u goqd and legal showing as to everything connected with his office. The attorney for Mr. George R. Brawn petitions for the writ of certiorari, and. Judge Lumpkin being absent from the State, Judge Simmons, of the Macon circuit, assumed jurisdiction ord grunted the writ. FLORIDA. A school houso is being built at the Liver pool Station.

Augustine Thursday a Polish Jew rieddler was arrested on suspicion of having brought goods from Key West, but was dis charged upou producing proof that hu had not been in Key West since May t TITF, MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, JULY lfi, 18*7. A Cuban of Key West has imported from Havana four fine cows, which are driven around every morning to the doors of his customers and milked. Not much chance for adulteration in conducting business in that way. In response to the inquiry as to the assets and liabilities of the firm, Sir. Candlish re plied that he could not say exactly, but that if the assets could tie made available they would more than liquidate all of the indebt edness. Tne proixirty of George C. Lewis, at Key West, sold this week by J. H. Coleman, as signee, only brought $1,300. Scarcely six months ago the property would have brought double this sum. Sheriff George A. Demeritt was the purchaser. At St. Augustine Thursday a young child of a Frenchman at work on the Ponce de Leon Hotel fell overboard and eame very near drowning. Capt. Leon Canova, of the yacht Viking, and I. C. Foschact sprang to the rescue anil saved the child’s life. There is general complaint among the light keepers of Key West and their friends ab mt the way they arc treated in regard to rations. The commander of the department is away on account of yellow fever, and everything is to a corresponding extent neglected. A large donkey engine, which for some time past has been standing in front of Cos grove’s foundry, at Pensacola, is being re paired pi be sent over on the Mobile and Birmingham railroad, where it will be used in coi: . ration with a pilo driver. Two 2,000-pound hammers will accompany it. The steamship Lizzie Henderson has pass ed into the hands of the Tampa Commercial Company.

The same firm have shipments en route fr ni Brazil and Jamaica. There are quite a number of improve ments going on at Grove City. The large hotel is being built with all possible speed, and shire buildings and cottages are lieing contracted for, ■ thus showing that with a little push and enterprise on the part of property holders, the town will soon equal, if not excel, any other in the county. Key West Equator-. We notice that the Tampa papers have a great deal to say in regard to Mrs. Demeritt and daughter going there. Will the Tampa papers take cogni zance of the fact that at the same time Mrs. Demeritt went to Tampa about forty cigar makers went over to work in Ybor’s fac tory, and in the same boat. If any one could carry the germs of yellow fever, it would tie those. At Faiatka a negro bought a lot just across the Jacksonville, Tampa and Key West railroad truck, and not fur from the Florida Southern, some time ago, and com menced at once to erect a h< iuse on the same, as ho thought, hut ulx ut the time the house was completed he learned to liis dis may that lie was just one block from where the house ought to have been built. But it is believed that satisfactory arrangements will be made by which he can exchange lots or otherwise settle the matter without much additional expense. Some little excitement was created in lie Land last weekbv the report that Deputy Sheriff Stephenson had received a threaten ing letter from some negroes, who vowed they would kill him if he attempted to ar rest liee Baily. The funny part of the mat ter was that Capt. Dora, of the DeLand Rifles, became excited on bearing the rumor, and issued an order for the Rifles to hold themselves in readiness to be called into active service, and when called to come “with revolvers and ammunition.” Every one in town has iieen laughing over the order for tho lost few days. Lust Monday while Jake Gibson, a festive colored brother, was sitting in the forks of an old oak tree on the Ball plantation, near Centerville, eating a watermelon a thunder cloud came up, lightning struck the tree, split it into fragments and throw Jake many feet away, apparently deader than Hector. Mr. Calvin Johnson, “Uncle” Glenn, an old colored man, and others rushed up, poured water in his face and began to rub him, but poor Jake had been gathered unto his lathers. Just as all hope of resuscitation hud fled, and his friends had turned sadly awav to prepare for tho funeral, Jake raised up, looked around half dazed and inquired: “Uncle Glenn, whars my watermiUionf’ There seems to be an unaccountable delay on the part of both the South Florida and Midland railways in putting in the tracks demanded by the mill business at Long wood. The completion of the mill has been hampered and delayed front this cause, in spite of the evident fact that it means busi ness for both roads from the day it starts. The mill is rapidly nearing the time for turning on the steam, the tioilers having lieen set. and steam piping nearly completed. There is still a good deal to do in getting the machinery into position, but that will be done very quickly when started. The dry-kiln is nearly completed, and another building is being erected for a framing shed. Tho work of enlarging and making more efficient Sanford’s wuter system is progress ing with reasonable rapidity. One of tho most important of the improvements mak ing is the construction of an immense reser voir, capable to bold hundreds of thousands of gallons of water, to bo held in reserve as it comes through the mains from tho lake, distant some three miles. This reservoir is now being dug, and in order to keep out of the way of tlio laborers the water that rap idly seeps in from the sides and bottom of the immense excavation, A. L. Lawson, the water works engineer, lias procured and , placed in operation what is known as a Pul someter, a species of pump, which, owing to its capacity for lifting water and sand to gether (70 per oent. or the tatter) is pecu liarly adapted to the work. The Evenin'! Call, of Key West, is utouts with the Board of Health. Monday Presi dent Porter, of the Board of Health, had a warrant issued from Justice do Lcno’s court for the arrest of George Eugene Bryson, editor of the Evening Call, tqioti the charge of criminal libel I Sheriff dr Merritt made the arrest about 1 o’clock. Jefferson B. Browne, the lawyer of Mr. Bryson, waived examination for him, and Justice de Leno fixed tin bond at SSOO, the case going up to Judge Mitchell, to lie tried in the Circuit Court at tho December term. L. B. Conde, tho manufacturer, and Col. Crane signed as bondsmen, several Cuban gentlemen offer ing were ut'clined by the Justice. It is said to Ih> the intention of the board to bring a fresh libel against the Evening Call each day “until they force its sus[ionsioii.” At St. Augustine-qulte a sensation has lieen created by the suspicious disappear ance of Soion 1/ong, a brother of the Hon. G. Long, formerly Mayor of St. Augustine, but at present living in a brown stone front recently purchased by him in Washington. Young Long lias lately lieen employed in the freight warehouse of the Jacksonville Mid St. Augustine railroad nt St. Augustine. Judge Long, who owns ait immense amount of pro|s'i-ty iti St, Augustine, has of late entrusted tho collection of his rents and other business in the hands of his brother. A few wtvks ago Solon received word from his brother that lie had secured a position for him at Washington, and the latter left St. Augustine ostensibly to take the position offered him. Instead, however, of going to Washington he met an acquaintance by the luune of Joseph Nelson, and telling him he was going to New York offered to pay Nel son’s ex i lenses to that city for company’s sake. The offer was accepted ana they journeyed together to that, place. During the trip Long showed his friend a large sum of money, and on his arrival at New York look a steamer for South America. Pensacola Commercial: Some people from Maryland, mid some from the West, have recently purchased 80,001 acres of tim bered lands in Covington county, Ala. A large part of the lieet timbered lands iu Ucucvtt county line ttlw been a ubbi*d up by Northern and Western capital. The Cov ington county buyers stole a march on a well known Pensacola merchant, who ar rived on the spot, intending to ptircha*. just twenty-four hours after the land had jiussed into its Northern ownership. The facts are indicative of the early emigration hitherward of the lumber manufacturers of the West, who will be forced to flee from their deforested section and find employment nearer the raw material. They also conclusively point to the correctness of the prediction made some time since, that the world will look to the South in less than ton years for the bulk of its wood supply. Southeast Alabama is one of the best wooded sections on the face of the globe, to day ; the timber lias been scarcely touched. Money put into its forests now will know a realization a few years hence of 500 per cent. These things are lieing seen and ap preciated, and it should be the Southern manufacturer who should take advantage of tho opportunities now offering, or in the end, he will find himself and his plant shelved, and most effectually, by the thrift of a Yankee competitor. At Jacksonville, Thursday, the firm of William Hurter & (jo. made an assignment to Thomas E. Stribling for the benefit of their creditors. The assignment iscomplete, and conveys all the personal and real property of the rneml kts of the firm, Messrs, llurter and William G. Candlish, including lands in Duval and St. John’s counties. The preferred creditors ore as follows: National Bank of the State of Florida SBOO, note indorsed by John C. Hunter SI,OOO. note indorsed by J. H. McGinnis S4OO, Hartridge & Young S3OO, W. M. Shelter S2OO, Robert Scott #IOO, Tysen, Smith & Cos. $73 tty, G. M. Parker SSB, Rivas & Koopman $l5O, Hurter & Cos. have for a number of years past conducted a large jobbing gro cery establishment on the south side of Bay street, and for a long time Maj. Couant, of Faiatka, was a member of the firm, but his interest was recently purchased hv Mr. Candlish. So far as the general public is concerned, this firm was regarded as being on a sound financial basis, mid the news of its assignment will be received with much surprise. Mr. Candlish, one of the mem bers of the firm, was seen during the even ing by a reporter, and in re sponse to an inquiry as to the cause of tile assignment, stated that it was par tially due to the shrinkage of business, of their inability to make prompt and regular collections and the fact that an outside creditor had refused to grant an extension of time on an account, which in the present emergency was sufficient to embarass them, and consequently after a consultation they thought it best to make the assignment so that all creditors could share equally of the assets.
