Handy Wallace, a negro boy, just about grown, living in East Dougherty, on the old ■Tike Hill plaoe, was bitten by some venom ous snake, supposed to have been a rattler, about two weeks ago. He did nothing spe cially for it, and the poison took effect, pro ducing mortification, and he went to to consult Dr. W. W. Bacon. The jDoetor amputated the great toe on the left loot. The wound is healing nicely.

The barracks will be a practical benefit to the student. The laughable analogy of the amusing in cident of percussion and auscultation related of the old woman by Secretary Bayard, in his speech to the doctors at Washington, happened in Alliany on the morning of the departure of the survivors of the Fourth Georgia. Nearly everybody in the city ■was waked up by the firing of the cannon, which sounded as if someone was thump ing at the door. Some arose and went to the door to see who knocked. The warehousemen of Albany desire to be placed on record as having used their licet endeavors to secure a supply of ties for their farmer patrons.

One firm spent >25 in wiring for ties. The Borne Courier has received a letter Jrom D. K. Collins, of Charleston, N. C., Nvho was captured by the Foderals during the late war, at Cedar Creek, in the Valley of Virginia, on Nov. 19. 1864, late in the tevamng, inquiring after Samuel Vardiman, X*f Crenshaw’s or Wharton’s division, rap tured soon afterward, and with whom he ‘•hared his blanket until he (Collins) made Ibis escape and returned to his command. Jlr. Collins aavs Vardiman was from Romo tor vicinity, and desires very much to hear Ifrom him. One of the most singluar occurrences ver known in Dougherty county came to light Friday. Silas Johnson, who farms in Hast Dougherty on the Chastain place, put bagging in the screw box of the cotton Rress preparatory to packing a bale of cot ton, and while he Went for the loose cotton tin old hen, which had tieai laying in the box, got into it, it is supposed, to lay. Silas came with his cotton and piled it on her, and packed the hale without discovering the accident until after it was rolled out. He brought it in to the warehouse and it was weighed, hen and all. The flattened frame of the compressed chicken was cut out, and the bale sold. D. K. Butler, of Camilla, had his gin house, the machinery belonging to it, and thirteen or fourteen bales of seed cotton, with a quantity of cotton seed and other valuables, destroyed Friday night about 12 ©’clock by fire. The origin is unknown, and it cannot be easily accounted for but ns the work of an incendiary. Mr. Butler was having some repairs done"to his machinery and had not hod any fire about the house or machinery for a day or two. Some four or five of the bales of seed cotton belonged to Mr. Builer and about as many to his tenants, one to Rev. Mr. Hoggard, and the rest to others. The loss is >4,000 or >5,000, with insurance enough to cover one half or two-thirds, possibly. At Macon Saturday a well dressed Wronger went into the Central Georgia Bank and asked Mr. Stone to give him a >lO bill for two fives. This was a little un usual, Mr. Stone thought, ami the stranger Immediately asked change for another five. Right behind him came another stranger, who wanted gold for a >5 bill, and then Mr. Stone became suddenly impressed with the Idea that the two men were known to each other and something was up. He therefore politely refused their requests and they de parted. It is probable that they desired to o confuse Mr. Stone that they could make >5 or >lO by the operation, or it may have been an accidental meeting of two odd characters with odd requests. The following bills were signed by the Governor Saturday: An act to amend an act to establish u system ot public schools tor the city of Newuan; a resolution direct ing the Treasurer to rotund to Mrs. N. H. Meador >2l 46, excoa* over tax and costs, arising from sale of wild land in Koventh district, Fifth section, of ilurolsoii county; an act to provide for the |my merit of insolv ent criminal costa to the officers of the County Court of Hancock county; an act to repeal section “two" of an act to organize a criminal court for Decatur county, to de flno its jurisdiction, and for other purposes; •n act to authorize the corporation of Ban danrville to organize and maintain a system of public sobooU, an act to amend the act incorporating the Columbus railroad; an *“t to amend an act to Incorporate the lourgm Loan and Trust Company. When the incoming train on the South Carolina road Sunday reached Ross station, below Branchviile, it stopped for water. One of the passengers, whose name could not tie learned, stepped out on the wood rack and began conversing with some par ties with whom ho was ncquainti*d. W non the train started off ho delayed getting ou until the third coach liarl passed him. and the train had gotten under such headway that he was dashed against the wood rack upright, and fell between its framework and the passing cars, and whs mashed and crushed terribly When reached, imme diately after the passing of the train, he was allve, but had one leg split open, the other badly crushed, his hand cut off and one ear tom completely away by the grind ing he received He was left at George's station, and the train, nearly an hour and a half late by the deplorable occurrence, proceeded on its way to the city. Governor Gordon Saturday tendered the office of Commissioner to represent the State of Georgia at the Constitutional Centennial celebration at Philadelphia to Hon. Charles C. C. Jonos, Jr., of Augusta. Some days ago Hon. Henry D. McDaniel, of Monroe, was appointed, but was obliged to refuse the place on account of domestic afflictions. It is rumored also that Hon. Henry R. Jack son, of Savannah, was requested to act, but was oomjielled to decline bi>cause of previ ous engagements. The place is one of dis tinguished honor, ns there will tie only one commissioner from each State. It is not known what Col. Jones will do about the matter,but it is hoped that he will be induced to accept, as the time is almost at hand for the commissioner to leave for the scene of his duties. The work the commis sioner will bo callod upon to perform is merely honorary, us there is no real duty connected with the office to fulfill. At Augusta Sunday night, near Hale street church, a burly railroad negro, named Jeff Walker, attacked Joe Hall another darkey, with a club, and came near killing him. Hall was struck ou the head several times, and parties failing to find him after a long search, are inclined to be believe that he has dragged himself to some spot and died, or fainted! Wtilkor was ar rested by Policeman Pague, resisting him all the way to the barracks. The police man was on the alert, however, and knock ed him down several times. At the bar racks Policeman Shed was detailed to escort him to jail. Shod is a brave, capable man, and anticipated not the slight est trouble. Just before reach ing the jail, however, and without a moments warning, Walton hit him a stunning blow in the face with his head. Then begun a terrible struggle. Shed knocked him down, but another negro, who had been waiting behind a tree in the dark, sprang out, and also attacked the officer. Walton was felled three times, but one of the precious pair managed to kick or strike the officer in the stomach and disabled him, both getting away. He fought desperately though before parting with his prisoner. While returning to the barracks to report, he discovered that the third finger of his left hand had been broken by a blow from Walton, in which he is supposed to have used a pair of brass knuclcs. Mayor Price of Macon has received the fol lowing letter from President Cleveland in reply to the invitation sent to him some time ago by the Board of Trade, State Agricultural Society and the City of Macon: “ExKi’iTTiva Depart ment, Washington, Sept. 7, 1887. Hon. S. B. Price, Mayor, Macon, Ga.—Dear Sir: I have received dispatcher, kindly tendering me, on behalf of the rmiuieipal authorities and the Board of Trade of Macon and the Georgia State Agricultural Society, invitations to visit that city in connection with my trip to the South, and be present at the annual fair, commencing Oct. 24. lam also in recoipt of invita tions to go to many other localities, and have delayed action thereon until I could definitely determine which of them my time and positive engagements already made would permit me to accept. The objective point of my trip South is Atlanta, where I am going in pursuance of a pledge made some time since, and my arrangements are so determined on that on this occasion I feel that this must be my only visit to the peo ple of Georgia, since the requirements of my official duties here will make it desirable that I should return to the capital with as little delay as consistent with the settled de tails of my journey. I regret that undor the circumstances 1 am unable to include Macon among the places I shall attempt to visit, but I hope you will convey to the good people of your city this expression of my hearty appreciation of their cordial iuvita tionn, ana my earnest wish that at some fu ture time I may have the pleasure of com ing among them. Yours, very respectfully, Grover Cleveland.” The joint legislative committee, composed of Messrs, Watts, Lamar and Black, of the House, and Messrs. Roberts and J. L. Hand, of the Senate, have been busy for some time with the work for which it was appointed. By a joint, resolution the committee was in structed to proceed to Chattanooga and in spect the property of the State belonging to the Western and Atlantic railroad in the city of Chnttanoogu. 1 n a talk with Hon. R. F. Watts, the chairman of the commit tee on the part; Of the House, it was ascer tained that the committee had visited Chat tanooga and had obtained all the informa tion possible in reference to the property. The committee hod also held sessions in At lanta, at which Senator Joseph E. Brown, ex-Gov. Bullock and Supt. Anderson, and i'there connected with the Western and At lantic road, had testified. Other witnesses will be summoned, and the testimony will doubtless all be had by to-day when the preparation of the report will be commenced. It is said that the State owns about eleven acres of land in the city of Chattanooga which is exceedingly valuable, and is assessed by the Tennessee authorities at about >400,000. The land is centrally lo cated. About, one halt is used for railroad purposes, and about one fourth is unim proved. The remaining fourth also is cov ered with small houses, occupied by laboring men mid families of moderate circum stances. These houses have been built from time to time by the authorities of tile West ern and Atlantic road, and bring a hand some income to the leasees. The property is believed to lie far more valuable than is manifested by the assessment placed ujsm it by Tennessee authorities, "If placed in the hands of a live real estate agent, and cut up for city purposes, there is no telling what it would not bring," is the opinion of a well known member of the Legislature. Of course nothing can lie done with this prop erty until after the expiration of the present lease, as it is all subject to tho provisions of the lease contract. FLORIDA. , Altoona’s artesian well is 692 feet deep. Artesian well borers at Oakland have reached u depth of 900 feet. C. F. McQuaig's house at Orlando was burned Saturday. The loss is >I,OOO. Capt. W. A. Sheffield has received his commission as Sheriff of Columbia county. There is a eat in Key West, which, when after a bird or a grasshopper, will bark just like a small flee. Some of the Volusia eounty papers are dismissing the advisability of removing the county seat to DeLund. One of Key West's engineers, a short time Kims*. was running one of the fire en gines under a forged license. Bennett, the oyster man, of Ht. Andrew’s, reports the oysters in East hay as being much injured by the late heavy rains. At Waldo, Saturday. Alie Sanders, a no torious character, was arrested by Marshal Mason, for an attempt at murder several months ago. The Postmaster at Montvorde has offered a premium of >5 to the person mailing the ?;reatost number of letters In his office dur ng tho present quarter. A carload of goats passed over the South Florida Railroad Friday, bound for Camp bell's station, in Polk county. There were about fifty (lead Of them. The fall term of the Circuit Court for Ht.

Over 325 have regis tered in that precinct, showing a remarka ble increase in the last ten months. Edward Fowler, a native of England, died at St. Augustine very suddenly Friday evening, after a very short illness. The de ceased was a very brilliant voung man, and had every hope of a long life before him. He leaves a young wife (nee Mias Flora Taylor) to whom he was only united a short year ago. The Florida delegation of the Grand Army of the Republic will go to St. Louis to be in attendance at the annual encamp ment, and the members are going in style, too. They have chartered two Pullman palace sleeping cars for the trip, and null leave Jacksonville in them on the 7 o’clock train on the morning of Sept. 23, One of Anthony’s merchant*, Lee Nehr, lost a ten dollar bill Thursday. Search was made and finally a 50c. reward was offered for its recovery whereupon it was produced by a ten-year-old-boy, who said he took it out in a joke. This is material for the courts, but, no prosecution is likely to be marie unless the offense is repeated! The postmaster of Orlando has asked the department, for authority to remove the of fice from the present quarters into one of the commodious brick blocks in tho vicinity, and another petition has been forwarded asking that if a change is made the office may bo located in a more central portion of the city, and requesting that an agent be sent to make the selection. The South Florida Railroad Company has engaged 400 square feet in the Piedmont Exposition, and issued a circular to all pro ducers to send in specimens of all kinds of produce, woods, etc., from along the line of the road. It is expected that a fine exhibit will be the result, if producers will only in terest themselves to furnish the material, as the railroad company pays for all transpor tation. Gainesville Record: On Thursday the undersigned received a note at the post office which read as follows: “F. O. Smith — You are notified to leave this town within the next twenty-four hours, as it is to your own interest. ‘ Respectfully, Mum Mum.” “I would like to see Mr. Mum Mum make me leave Gainesville. Come to the front, Mr. Mum Mum, and undertake it, and I will make it interesting for you. F. G.

Chambers, Prof. Madison, Col. McLeod and Judge Ives, on local option and against the sa loons. The indications point to a triumph ant routing of the liquor saloons from the county to-day. A large torchlight proces sion was to have been held last night by all sizes and colors. C. L. Bittinger, local editor of the Ocala Bonner, telegraphs to the Jacksonville News-Herald as follows: “Your dispatch headed ‘An Editor Oowbided’ in to-day’s Sews-Herald is a base, malicious, unquali fied lie. Capt. McCohneil is an invalid on crutches, and the idea of him cowhiding nny body is absurd to those who know his condition daily. The other portion of the dispatch is on a par with tho first part. Veareen came into the Banner office like a roaring line, but went out as quiet as a suck ing dove." A colored man entered the residence of George Long, at Interlachen, on Thursday night, and after rifling the pockets of Wil liam Whalen, he entered the room of Mr. Long. In his search for valuables he awakened Mr. Long, who in his short clothes gave him hot pursuit, but he es caped. He, however was later in the dav captured near Hawthorne, and brought back near Interlachen. During the nighi he was placed under the guard of Loft Allen and another person. Before morning the guards fell asleep, and notwithstanding the negro was chained and locked up he made his escape, taking the guards’ revolver. A terrible murder was committed in Levy county on Wednesday, Sept. 7. The facts, as far as are known, are to the effect that one Jasper Mis 11 in, who lives in the south eastern part of the county, was in Bronson W ednesday, Sept. 7, and left for home the same evening, about eleven miles south of Bronson. He was met and shot through the chest. His death must have been almost in stantaneous. The bullet entered the right breast at about the nipple, passing through and out, at the left shoulder. Evidently a rifle, or a large calibre pistol, was used. A post mortem examination was made. His horse was shot in the loft hip, and his hat was also shot through the brim on the left side, showing that two or more parties did tho killing. The lay there in the woods until Friday morning before it was found. The buzzards hail already found the body; the eves were tern out bv them. The authorities iiave the matter in hand and are working rapidly. In February of the present year a syndicate was formed at Jacksonville to purchase a large tract of land in the State of Virginia, which is rich in gold, iron and timber, the lands being also valuable for agricultural purposes. This syndicate consist* of the fol lowing: President, Hen. J. C. Greeley;Vice- President.R. Mcljaughlin ;Oeaeral Manager, Goo. D. Wvckoff (Assistant Manager, James 8. Wyckoff; Secretary, W. 11. Chambers. Directors: A. M. Ives, S. C. Thompson, 8. J. Bradley, George R. Reynolds, E. W. Clarke, M. P. Turner, J. Cronin, A- M. Rogers. The company is to be known as the National Mining Company of Virginia. The property purchased bv this company embrace* 6,000 acres lying in Hpottsylvanfa county, and ten miles from Fredericksburg. The Potomac, Fredericksburg and Pied mont railroad runs six miles through this property, which ombrai-es in its domain the following tracts; The furnace on which shot and shell was made during tho Mexi can war, and for the Confederates during the civil war; also the Wilderness tract, on which the famous battle of the Wilderness was fought, the Cathanpen and Carpenter tra<*ts. The capital represented is largo, and the mineral wealth of this mag nifioent estate will at once be brought to light. Furnaces, saw mills and dwellings will bo erected and immigration induced to occupy their fertile lands. The iron ore* are both the brown and red homo tito so valuable in making steel. This enter prise will greatly develop this section of the country, as we are assured that the wealth, liberality pud executive ability is so well kuowu that the greatest satisfaction will re sult in the investment of their thousands where the return will lie so munificent. Since this proiierty was second, the ail joining tract has lieen purchased by a South ern gentleman, who has already erected a large saw mill, dwelling and a general store, the lumber (laying for the entire purchase since the erection of the mill. Boys, How Does This Strike Youf From the tin, ni mirk (da.) Advertiser. The Oglethorpe Club is the name of a club formed of one dozen young gentlemen of this city, who arc tired of hotel fare, and pro|>ose running a house of their owe. They have rented the P. M.

By the rule* of the club everything i* to be conducted with a t> much decorum a* in the most refined homes of the land In short, the place i* to baas noar home-like a* is possible where apron string* ore absent. A Very Extravagant Law. TV-nm the Montioello (Fla.) Constitution. The last Legislature of Florida passed a very unnecessary law, which, if carried out. may bankrupt manj r of the counties. The law provides that the counties shall pay a reward of >3 per head for evidence of every wildcat killed ax encouragement for the extermination of a*l such animals. In order to secure the reward it is re quired that the person killing the wild cat shall go before the County Judge and ex hibit the skin, which is taken as full evi dence of the killing. It then becomes the duty of the Judge to issue a certificate for the amount of >3 against the Board of County Commissioners, who shall pay the amount indicated in said certificate at the next meeting of the board. Already parties have organized in this and other counties for the slaughter of the cats, and some of the hunters affirm they can make the killing a profitable business. No doubt there are many thousands of them in this county, and it will require a large revenue to jaiy the extravagant rewards. As the Times-V,lion very properly says, “unfortunately no provision was made in the law for the protection of the county against imposition of any kind. It is not necessary for the person killing the animals to turn the skin over to the county, but simply show them to the County Judge; consequently persons who are disposed to do ao, nave it in their power to exhibit the skin an unlimited number of times, through different persons, or to even take them back themselves, and have new certifletes issued for them.” It is one of the most silly and reckless laws ever placed upon our statute books, and will cause financial trouble. The man ner in whirh tho law was passed shows its absurdity A member introduced a bill, offering a reward for the killing of bear, etc., and to kill it, another member introduced an amendment, providing a reward of >3 per head for all wild cats killed, it had a different result from that intended. The amendment was received in good faith, en tertained and the whole bill passed—and thereby a measure of extravagance fastened upon the people. Our County Judge should be very cautious in granting his certificates —and' place a distinguishing mark upon every skin exhibited. Why a Lake Turned Black. From a Columbia (S. C.) Special. The story of the poisoning of Dawho Lake, in Georgetown county, by a hail storm, as telegraphed, and which many per sons supposed to be “fishy,” has been cor roborated in every particular by a promi nent citizen of Georgetown, who has investigated the matter at the request of Gen. Greely, chief of the signal service. A dense mass of blackspmi trees sur rounds the lake on all sides. It is well known that the leaves of this tree are strongly impregnated with tannic acid. It has also been ascertained that the bottom of the lake contains a slight deposit, of iron. The poisoning of the water, therefore, is thus explained. The hail storm bruised and filled the lake with the leaves and small branches of the trees. The tannic acid emanating from which, mingled with the iron and formed tannate of iron, causing the water to turn black as ink and bitter as quinine, and poisoning the fishes by thou sands. Bome of the people living in the neighbor hood believe that the condition of the lake is due to a judgment from God, This lake is in reality a Godsend for many a poor family near by. They get fish from it the year round, and if it is not replenished soon it will be a judgment to them, sure enough. One species of the fish inhabiting this lake survived the singular disaster, and that was the mud fish, which buried itself in the mud at the bottom nnd thus escaped tho effects of the poison The stench arising from the dead and rotten fish is de scribed as fearful. The thousands of buzzards taking their departure in the evening for their roosting places, after a day’s feast, are described as making a noise similar to that of an approaching cyclone. On each end of Dawho lake, about, half a mile distant, is a small lake, in which numbers of fish also abound, but wjhqh, upon examination, show no signs of the hail storm which swept over Dawho. This con. firms the belief that the direct cause of the disaater to the fish is due to the hailstorm. ' The Personator of the Saviour. The boy who was to personate the Sa viour in the Summerville (Ga.) passion play was Eph Harris, a colored hoy, waiter for Mr. Langdon. He is a likely-looking black boy, about 21 years old. “What’s your name?" was asked. “Ebli Harris.” “Were you to have represented the Sa viour to-night? “Yes, boss; I was to be a holy man this night,, but the white folks done stop us. I had my costume all fixed. I was to wear a white gown and big gold crown. I was to be on the stag** ami the ten virgins around me. But they done knocked that out. “Boss, do you think the earthquake will be here to-night?” asked Eph. Being assured that there was no chance of an earthquake, Eph became talkative, and said: •‘They done knocked out another act where I was to be de Lord driving Adam and Eve out of the garden of Eden. I was to be a good man sure this earthquake night.” _ Postal Changes.
