The Hall county commissioners settled Upon 68c, per hundred as the rate of taxation for the current year, but as the Superior Court will hold three weeks, instead of two, they have concluded to raise it to 70c., in order to make sure that the county is not embarrassed in meeting its obligations. Dr. Eugene Foster, of Augusta, will sub mit to the Council of that city a report on the practicability of building a levee to pro tect the town from floods.

R. M. Brown, of Fort Gaines, lost SSO on the street last Friday, and upon returning to hunt it was not able to Ann it. Later in the day it was returned to him by Dixie Mitchell (colored), who had found it and was seeking the owner. This is the second or third time Dixe has found large sums of money and returned them to the owner. An officer from Surrency was across the river from Brunswick Wednesday, on the trac k of the fellow who struck Engineer Ford, at McDonough’s mill, recently, from the effects of which he died. He was tracked to Spring Bluff and afterwards to Doerflin ger’s store. It is intimated by some he has already been caught and lynched, but there is no positive proof of it. There is a re wai-d offered for his capture. At Crawfordville a few days ago the Marshal took up a lot of negroes who were going around the streets and doing nothing at all for a livelihood and gave them 60 cents per day for their work on the streets. A few days passed and the hands worked very well. The idea struck them that they were doing the world too much good to have them employed and they struck for higher wages. New- men were obtained. A negro woman named Francis White went before Justice Froeman at Macon on Thursday to sw'ear out a peace warrant against, somebody that had been abusing her. When she was told to sign her name she took the pen in her left hand and wrote her name thus: “etihW sernarF.” As she writes a fair hand and with ease, the ques tion w'as asked where and how she learnod to write in such a way. She said she was taught that way and could not write with her right hand, or as anyone else writes. Joel Bennett, of Hall county, is now in his 74th year, and is as hale and hearty as many a man of 50. Mr. Bennett says that he has not failed to follow the plow every season since he was large enough to hold up the plow handles. He lias never worn his shirt with the collar buttoned in sixtv years; has never missed a meal of victuals on account of sickness in forty years, and has not gone to bod without a chew of to bacco m his mouth in thirty years. He has made a fine crop this year, and bids fair to make many more. Last week a party was going from Dalton to Ellijay, and while ascending a hill eleven miles from Ellijay, on the Dalt/m road, the harness broke. A negro was driving, and a ladv, Mrs. Ralph E. Walker and her 13 months old baby were in the buggy. The negro hallooed to her to jump out. which she did with the child in her arms. She struck the ground with her feet first, and the left foot was careened to the left. The child was heavy and Mrs. Walker being of delicate frame, could not withstand the shock and the leap bn >ke her left leg about four inches below the knee, and made gome very ugly bruizes on the child’s face. A gentleman of Gainesville has a fine milch cow that suddenly fuiled in giving the quantity of lacteal fluid she had usually given, whereujion our friend concluded that the cow was stck. Upon examination, lie decided that her ailment was what is called the “hollow tail." He pursued the course usually adopted by cow doctors in such cases, and split the tail, inserted a quantity of salt, turpentine, etc., and bound it up nicely. On going out the next day to sec how “Bossy” was getting along, he caught a half-grown pig, which he kept in the same lot, busily engaged in sucking the cow; and this accounted for the falling off of milk for table use. Jonathan Bell, a prominent man of Ogle thorpe county, died Sunday He was about 80 years old, and a sterling Democrat all his life Before the war lie was very wealthy, owning considerable property in the county and hundreds of slaves. The war com pletely broke him, and he has lived a life of quiet and repose. He has hail his coffin maiic a number of years. He told his friends on Saturday tlmt he would soon die, and to send for his ooffin. He had it made waterproof, and had the makers fill it full of water, screw the lid on and turn it over and over. They did so, in his view, and lie was satisfied. He died the next day, and was laid away to rest. A few days ago Mr. Hodges, of Milledge ▼ille, took a cheek to the imk for jiayment. He insists that the cashier, Mr. Bcthune, handed him a #:.'it gold piece and $5 in silver. A few hours after the transaction at the bank, Mi . Hodges handed the piece of gold to VV. A. Hagixsl, a merchant of the city, who discovered that the piis* wanted tfie gold ring. An examination proved the piece to is* the most cleverly executed coun terfeit ever seen there. The cashier of the hunk insists thut Hodges was not given the piei-c ut the iinnk. Concerning the uffiiir considerable bod blood has been generated. Both men rank well and ure above sus picion. The piece is of date IKSO, and isjier leet, except to the thoroughly educated eye. The Ringgold Courier prints a queer story about Mr. I. J. Bottom, of James county, Tennessee. He came to Ringgold a week ago and married Miss Rail. Four hours after the happy marriage some parties CMie from Tennessee, swore out a warrant and hail the young man arrested and jailed for the grave offense of horse stealing. This action on the part of the officers almost broke the heart of his bride. As to the grief of both parties in being separated so soon, it cun better be imagined than de scribed. But like a devoted wife she went to work to secure her husband's release. And after five (lava of vouv mi tnilimr without ceasing she at last employed the services of Judge W, H. I'avue, who very soon hn<! her husband brought liefnre the Court of Ordinary and released under a writ of halreas corpus. As soon as the prisoner was released the reuniting of bleeding hearts was only that of deep, heartfelt, affection existing between husband and wife.. After embracing and caressing for about two minutes, the husband started for the moun tain, and the further off he got the faster he ran. On Tuesday of last week, the county con victs were ordered to cut down a steep hill about seven miles from Thomasville, on the other side of the Ochlochonee river. Thir teen of the number were placed in two wagons with Mr. Chastain in the front wagon with a Remington rifle, and Sheriff Hurst and Marshal Spair in a buggy, in the rear. The work was completed and the start back home was made without incident. When they were approaching the long river bridge, Sheriff Hurst and Marshall Spair were driving along some distance in the rear and were startled bv loud screams and a terrible noise on the bridge ahead, and suspecting the trouble was hetwien the guards and the convicts, they hastened to the scene. The first glimpse they got of the affair they saw hands, heels, heads, wheelbarrows, shovels, hoes and picks flving through the air in wild confusion. When they reached the place they found the wagon torn all to pieces, the horses fratically endeavoring to extricate themselves, and tin buckets, negroes, wheellxirrows, hats, shovels and every imaginable sort of an implement and utensil lying around on the ground near the landing of tho bridge nil mixed and tom up. They found that the horses lieeame frightened on tho bridge and ran away, and spilled the load of human flo-sli and the impkunents and tools just as the wagon reached the landing. No one was hurt and not a single convict escaped. FLORIDA. Tallahassee is to have a daily paper. Crops of all kinds continue good in Leon county. The Sanford House will not be moved this season. The bridge at Ormond will be completed n a few days. Them arc now four saw mills between Ocoee and Roseland Park, a distance of five miles. M. C. Rordell, of "star route” notoriety, has purchased an interest in Orlando’s Daily Uccorcl. The new record books for Lake county have been shipped and are expected to ar rive this week, On Thursday of last week over S3OO worth of tickets were sold by the Florida Railway and Navigation Company at Leesburg. The frame of the South Florida railroad round house at Sanford is being rapidly put together, and tl* building will be completed in a short time. Information has reached the Tampa Jour nal that abouts,ooo cigars were "smuggled” into that port from the steamer Mascotte, last Thursday night. There was considerable talk on the streets of Palatka, Wednesday, about the street railroad ordinance, and the opinion now prevails that it will pass over tne Mayor’s veto. The people of Apopka are making an ef fort to have the new road tholiouisville and Nashville are building through the State come to that place, and for $6,000 it can be obtained. George I. Russell and M. (4. Brown, of Orlahdo, have 500 pineapple plants on their place, some of them now in bloom, while they have already gathered a large quantity of ripe fruit from them. The road beds and equipments of the va rious railroads in Volusia county are as sessed iNNijOOO, and the telegraph lines nt $5,000. This is a great increase over the assessment of last year. C. H. Bent. Superintendent of the Florida Southern railroad, has purchased one of the prettiest building sites in Bartow, on David son street, and will soon have a handsome residence standing on it. The trouble at Ellinger’s cigar factory at Key West was settled Wednesday. A bar rel of beer was sent for and over each bumper, both Cubans and Americans vowed eternal friendship, co-operation and good will. About two miles from Like Helen is a beautiful sheet of water called Spirit Lake. In this vicinity several Spiritualists reside, among them Prof. Colby, a noted Spiritual ist lecturer. They have regular meetings to commune with the spirits. Key West Call: There aro some grave rumors floating around about the manage ment of the Barracks Hospital, while under the direction of the recent Board of Health. Indeed it is stated that patients taken there with money on their person had none re turned to them w hen they were discharged. On Aug. 3 George White, a negro who wus working for a gentleman near Eustis, forged his employer’s name to a check on Bishop’s bank, of Eustis. for s7i). Having secured the money, he took up bis residence with some negroes near Fruitland Park, where he was arrested this week, after a struggla Ramouni, an Apache buck, and his squaw, passed through Pensacola Thursday en route frhm Mount Vernon Barracks, Ala bama, for Fort Pickens. The pair were in ••barge of a sergeant. Ramouni got drunk in Mount Vernon, raised the mischief, and the Colonel in command had hint trans ferred to Pickens. The old saloon building (restaurant), old post office building, and J. 11. Kinsey it Co.’s building, now occupied by C. L. K ounce, were consumed by tire Wednesday night at Sumterville. C. L. Koonee’s stock was nearly all saved. The loss is estimated at from $B,OOO to $lO,OOO. There is no in surance. The cause of the tire is unknown. Last week a cow belonging to Col. R. 11. Gamble, of Tallahassee, exhibited decided symptoms of hydrophobia, though there appeared no external evidence of her having linen bitten by a dog. Drs. Gamble and Gwynn had the cow killed, and inuoculated a dog, with both the saliva and the blood. The dog is licing confined and his symptoms observed with iptcrest. Tlie elopement of Perry Cokes, of Gaines ville, and Miss Bessie Collins, a very pretty 17-yar-old miss of Orange Springs, and their subsequent marriage at Waldo Thurs day, ereatei 1 a tremendous sensation.

The Okaliumpka and Riverside Land and Improvement Com|MUiy (limited) |>erfeotod an organization at licet.burg on Monday night by electing Dr. John F. Richmond president, R. A. Green, vhv president, John Ellis, treasurer, and W. M. Bennett, secre tary. Tbo especial object of the company is to advertise, attract attention to and build up Oknlimnpka and vicinity. A Eustis correspondent writes: “Anelec tion is to lie held in Orange county Sept. “J. to determine whether that county shall be dry or wet. It was a mistake of the tem perance folks to cull it so soon. Nearly ail who are away s< lending the summer would vote dry, but they will not lie back in time to vote. If such mi election is railed for Lake county, it should not be earlier than some time in I)eceinl>er." The Hrst shipments of “this season’s” oranges were made Tuesday from Alta monte and Twin Like. I)r. Person was the shipper from the latter point. This is ill suit as early as was ever known for the golden fruit to commence to move. Nhip jiorsattliis season will no doubt realize very fancy figures. These orangos ore doubtless the fruit from a few trees that bloomed last year out of season. At Apalachicola last, week, Scot Sanford and wife were discovered industriously en gagcii digging in the ground near Prince Venable's house. Not knowing who Scot was at the time, and thinking, |>erhaps. some evil wus at work. Prims' gathered a force and investigated. Boot said Sila Jus tioe had told him there was money buried at this soot which he oonid gat by digging THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY. AUGUST 27, 1887. for it. It is needless to say that Scot did not discover any money. Nearly all the churches in Orlando were closed Sunday evening in order that every l>ody might attend the temperance ne'etmg in the opera house. A large crowd was present, and the exercises were very inter esting. Dr. Dickenson and Rev. F. N. Bailey delivered addros es which were well received. The zeal displayed by the tem perance people of Orlando shows that tire cause will not be allowed to suffer in their hands. Other meetings will be held soon. Judge Mersbon, of Orlando, was in Kis simmee Tuesday on legal business, and also showing a courde of his old Georgia friends around the place. Judee J. F. Nelson, of Brunswick, and H. H. Dickson, of Atlanta, are prospecting for a point to engage in a large wholesale and retail mercantile busi ness, and were looking over Kissimmee with that end in view. They seemed well pleased with the outlook, but decided to look South Florida over before deciding on any point. Last Saturday morning, City Marshal Fugleman, of Leesburg, received a tele gram from G. J. McCoy, of Dude City, di recting him to arrest, one S. H. Williams, who was thought to Ire coming up on the Florida Southern north bound train. Ac cordingly, when tire train arrived. Engle man boarded it, and without any difficulty spotted his man and arrested him. Will iams lias boon a contracting mason at Dade City, and is accused of having embezzled some MOO or s.>oo collected for and due his subordinates. F. E. Saxon, Clerk of the Circut Court, has received a letter from Judge Mitchell stating that he would not be able to hold court in Hernando on the first Monday in October, as usual, because the last Legisla ture appointed that day for the fall term of court in Citrus county and made no provis ion for holding a fall term in Hernando. This being true, the only chance to get a fall term of court at all is to induce Judge Mitchell to hold a special term. The same state of affairs in regard to the fall term of court exists in Polk connty. (4. D. Horton, of Smnterville, who has a lime mine there, has a lot of geological specimens which are quite a curiosity. They consist chiefly of petrified coral and sen mollusks, the most interesting being a large stone crab, and all wero taken from a depth 16 feet below the surface of the gn mnd. At this depth Mr. Horton has dis covered an inexhaustible deposit of the finest kind of Uine formed from an immense quantity of decomposed ocean shells, and he is now engaged in taking out the lime and shipping it to other points. In digging out the lime he finds many curiosities similar to those described. At Molino, at the residence of Harrison Sunday, may be seen a fair exhibition of what may lie done on average Florida soil with such attention to cultivation as is everywhere given to soil that is expected to produce a crop. Mr. Sunday is a creole, who has lieon a resident of Molino for nine teen years, and his little farm of six acres resembles a little paradise in the profusion of its fruits and flowers. Here may be found tho finest arbors of souppernong and “Flower” grapes to be seen in the whole State; peaches, pears, Japan plums, straw berries, English and black walnuts, as well as all kinds of vegetables and melons. In addition to this the place is notable for pro ducing over 3,000 pounds of honey every year, this amount being obtained from 160 hives. Flowers are also grown here in pro fusion, and quite a large sura is realized from their sale. Leesburg Commercial: A few of our young men have lately taken to the noble urt of boxing. An amusing incidont oc curred the otherjday, in connection with this science, which is too good to be left untold. At the Union Hotel one of our young men whose chief characteristics is his Jeliu-like driving of a two-wheeled cart, happened to have "the gloves” on, when a lanky, mild eyed stranger said "that if there was no ob jection, he would like to try, only no hard hitting, of course; it was a game he did not understand." Having taken the stranger’s word for it that he had never had gloves on before, they started in. The first round was unsuccessful. In the second the stranger led out with his left and landed on a nose that has long boon the admiration of Leesburg, producing a curious and crimson effect. This sett led the business. While the mangled remains of “Charioteer” were lieing swept up from the floor, the stranger was heard to observe in answer to some query “that may be he had had the gloves on once or twice before.” The other is now consoling himself with the Biblical sugges tion “that all men are liars;" and that it’s no use bucking against a Canadian profes sional. Leesburg Commercial: A wealthy Rus sian merchant now in Moscow who owns a 100-acre orange grove, besides other large interests, in this county, writes to Messrs. Morrison, Stapylton & Cos., his representa tives, hero, under date of Aug. 5, a very interesting letter, from which wo are iier initted to make the following extract: “It is strange that, when so much difficulty is ex perienced in your State in keeping oranges, there is in this remote place no difficulty iu procuring excellent Jaffa and Maltese oranges in perfect condition for the table and at a moderate price. On inquiry 1 find that they are kept here for only a short time, and the preserving of them In fresh condition must no managed abroad. I can speak from trial of the Maltese Blood oranges, which are imported either by (ktossa or St. Petersburg. The skin was as tender and ihe orange as juicy and well flavored ns they usually are in the most fa vorable season in England. There seeins no reason why the same result should not be obtained in Florida, and this should encour age the growers to study the urt of pre serving the fresh fruit when they know that it is done abroad on a large scale with complete success.” Useful at Rural Resorts. /from the Boston 7'ranscript. Fogg, who has been spending a few days in the country, is thinking about patenting a contrivance of his, called the crow dis courager. designed to prevent ami abolish the practice of crowing, especially at early dawn, bv the gentlemen members of the feathered family of the barnyard. Fogg’s device is simple, consisting only of a cord, one end of which is attached to chanticleer’s leg, while the other is ntfixed to Ihe Mijierior section of his bill, which is perforated to re ceive the string. When a rooster essays to crow he always liegins by throwing back his head. When fitted with one of Fogg’s Dis couragers, it will readily ho scon, the Irird, in throwing bock his head, shuts his mouth whether ho‘will or no, and consequently there is no aperture through which the crow can emerge. Fogg says that iiefore lie thought of his Discourager he couldn’t got a wink of sleep after 3 o'clock in the morning; but after fitting tho fowl with lus long-felt want, he slept like an angel and was late nt breakfast regularly and habitually.

Cor. Atlanta Constitution. The death of Col. W. It. Smith, which took place in Nor. York a few weeks sine*, has brought to light a very remarkable inci dent. Miss I (Lett Myron, the principal figure in the drama, is a personal friend of your correspondent, and from her the fol lowing facts have been obtained, with per mission for their publication: Hayne Myron, the father of this young lady, was a planter in South Carolina. His home was a typical Southern home, spacious and hospitable, surrounded by broad acres, and faithful slaves. His family consisted of his wife and Rhett, who was then n little child, and the idol of her father, as well as the pet of the plantation. At the breaking out of tho war, in the fall of 1861, _ Huyne Myron joined a volunteer South Carolina regiment. Before leaving home he had a picture of his little girl punted in miniature, and in cased it in a locket that he placer! next to his heart, saying: "My dulling, this will be papa’s shield when he is in danger, and. his sunshine when he rests;’’ and with eyes filltd with tears, he smothered the face and sunny head of his child with farewell kisses and hurried awnv from his peaceful home out to the world of danger. Six months later, in a skirmish in Virginia, Hayne Myron was killed, in close combat, by a Federal officer. Only a few words were sent to the old home to tell the sad story. During Gen. Sherman’s invasion into South Carolina the Myron homestead was destroyed. The widow and daughter con tinued to live on the plantation in an out building. supported by the rents from the lands. Two years ago Mrs. Myron died, and through the influence of friends, Miss Myron obtained a position as governess in the family of Co'. W. R. Smith, of New work. She stated to me that her first meet ing with Col. Smith was peculiar. That wlion his wife introduced her to him, say ing, “This is our new governess from South Carolina, Miss Rhett Myron,” his face became deathly white, and he gave a sudden start. (He was absent from home when Mrs. Smith engaged her.) He mechanically shook hands with t er anil tried to speak, ijut his lifts seemed sealed. But later his manner changed to kindness and cordiality, and she was treated more as an honored guest than a salaried teacher. He insisted on paying her four times the amount she charged for her services, and made her duties light. One evening she was sitting in the family circle, telling of her past life down in South Carolina, of the spacious house with its twenty columns, of the dusk} - slaves, who used to sit her on their shoulders, calling her their “little queen” as they carried her through the cot ton fields that looked like sens of snow foam. For the first time she spoke of her lather, how handsome and sad he looked as he went aw - ay on that dreadful last day; how he took her picture with him, and told all he said. She states that she was torced to stop in the midst of her words, for Col. Smith turned ghastly pale and left the room. It all seemed strange to me then, she said, but the meaning is plain now. Miss Myron continued to live with Col. Smith’s family for two years. “It was a haven and home to me,” she said; “I had so long toiled and worked on our plantation, isolated from society and all advantages, it was like a fairy life had opened to me of ease nnd luxury, but my heart was almost breaking as I remembered all that 1 had lost in those sad sweet days.” Six weeks ago Col. Smith was taken sud denly ill, and when he realized that death was inevitable he expressed a desire to see Miss Myron alone. She states that as she neared the bed of the dying man, she saw him holding something convulsively in one hand, as he extended the other to her and exclaimed: “Rhett Myron, forgive me be fore I die; without your pardon 1 cannot die; corno close and listen to what I have to tell you. It was I who made you an orphan, my hands are red with your father’s blood. Take this,” he said, hand ing me the package, “I found it on his dying breast; it is your face; your name and his name are upon it. Take it and forgive one who has tried to expiate the wrongs done you. Oh! can you forgive a dying rnanf” and the voice became faint and low. “Oh! sir. you both were soldiers; I freely forgive,” and the poor girl, who could say no more, fell unconscious to the floor. “Thauk God,” he murmured and all was over. When Rhett Myron recovered, the man who had killed her father, and who was later the best friend she ever knew, was dead. In his will he bequeathed Cos her the generous sum of $15,0 K) He also left a let ter giving all the particulars of her father's death. Only a few days ago I saw tho pic ture—a sweet child face, in an azure cloud, and on tho little plush case were marks of blood. This is certainly the most rtnjiarka ble incident it has ever been my privilege to record. CHIMNEYS.
