Jack Tullis brought into Amerlcus Satur day several bundles of fodder that were pulled and cured in 1852—thirty five years ago. Notwithstanding its age, it was as bright and sound as if it had nut recently been gathered. It will be sent to the State Pair along with the other farm products of that section that will make up the county exhibit. Isaac Weatherby and I)r. W. F. Rob ertson have been for some time securing land in the immediate vicinity of Buch bnan with the view of forming a company for the development of the mineral inter est of that section. They have secured deeds to 2,000 acres of land, most of which has been sufficiently developed to place it (beyond doubt that an abundance of iron ore of good quality can lie had, besides fine prospects for gold, silver, copper, plum bago, etc. They will have a fine lot of Samples of ore, and a map of the district on exhibition at the Piedmont Exposition. An Amerieus widower indited a tender ■epistle to his lady love at Lumpkin last .Friday. At the same time he wrote out an order for a bill of lumber, which was in tended to have bean sent to a saw mill man at Andersonvlße. In his hurry he, of course, E)t the letters add i essod wrong, and the umpkin lady received an order for a bill of lumber, while the saw mill man receives! a perfumed billet-doux, the contents of which he enjoyed hugely. Both letters were returned to the sender, and nothing will induce him to believe but that the post office officials are determined to blast Lis matrimonial holies and ruin his business as well, by missending his correspondence. Saturday the (Jovemor of Alabama sent a requisition to Gov. Gordon for Munro Johnson, alias Munro Jackson, who has been under arrest in Atlanta for several days. Johnson some time ago killed Mrs. Jack Foster, near Leeds, in Alabama The Snurder was one of the most atrocious and (diabolical ever comini ted in Alabama, and St is likely that Joliusou will pay the ex treme penalty of the law for his crime. His accomplice in the murder was killed tome time ago, while trying to escape ar rest. The Alabama requisition was honored at the executive department, and the neces sary papers by which Johnson was turned over to the agent of Alabama were made out. The Staunton Life Insurance Company, of Virginia, that was deiiarred from doing business in Georgia some months ago by the Comptroller General, because of its failure to comply with the law regulating insurance companies, was successful a few days since in getting a resolution by the Gen eral Assembly relieving the company frean its disabilities, and giving it the right to re enter the State uixin properly complying with the laws of the State. The company made the propor application Saturday to the Comptroller General, and ui*ui the pay ment of the license and fees required by law the regular authorized liermit was granted the company to begin business in Georgia lonce more. John Jackson, a negro, was shot and kill ed by an unknown murderer at Albany Fri day night. Dau Gary, a witness to the shooting, was within twenty yards of the party that fired the fatul shot, but ho could Slot distinguish who it was, or whether it was a white man or a negro. Two men were arrested and brought before the wit nesses, but could not be identified as the parties who perpetrated the wanton murder. One was a white man named Bailey, from about Montezuma, but had recently lieen “working at a mill on tho Brunswick and "Western Railroad. The other was a negro named Starling Tavlor, a well-known far |mer of Baker County, who was at the depot 'for the purpose of going to Poulan to bring "back a runaway son. The evidence ad duced threw no ljght on ttye mystery. Saturday afternoon as the fast train ■neared Crawford villa, a negro paseesiger •tumbled out of the colored coach in a half drunken condition and while the train was •till moving rapidly, attempted to get olf. He was too drunk to make the leap safely, and swung around between the two coaches and was hanging bv one hand with his feet on the rails when Ike Shepard, an employe of the road, saw the man's peril and went to his rescue, quickly dragging him away from the wheels. The man’s feet had touched the wheel, and his narrow esoayie from death thoroughly sobered hitn. This is the fifth person Mr. Hhopard has saved from death during the twelve months he has been on the road. One of his last heroic acts was the rescuing of a small boy at. Nor wood from death beneath his train. Two of the instances of heroism displayed by Mr. Shepard were at great risk to life and limb. At Atlanta, Saturday, the question of the value of the State road, including the Tennessee property, came up In a party of Representatives. Hon. R. F. Watts, of Stewart, was present, and as it was known he has been making a careful study of the question, having visited Chattanooga and examined the Tennessee property, ne was put on the stand and pumped. lie is a gen tleman of Intelligence and decided convic tions. and expressed the opinion with con fidence that the Western and Atlantic rail road property is worth a dear ¥12,000,000. He drew an excellent map of the real estate owned by the State in Tennessee, ami sjMiko with some en’itusiasm of its present value, but pointed mil several desirable changes which might lie profitably made, such as extending some streets and laying off new ones. With those changes and busing his estimate on present values, Mr. Stewart is satisfied that there is a surplusage of prop erty there owned by the State, tliat is to sa\. property which is not included in the State road lease.

Sheriff William Pickett, of Franklin county, has tendered to the Governor his resignation a> Sheriff. Reason: Lack of remuneration. There arc twe notices out, signed by dif ferent citizens of Winter Park, calling for a meeting of citizens for tho pwqiose of incor porating the town. J. B. Melrwin and several others left Gainesville yesterday for Nicaraugua to prospect in that country for the raising of bananas, oranges and other fruits. The people of Hillsboro couuty will vote on the liquor question on September 30, and the temperance people are hard at work, and meet the opposition face to face. At Key West business is looking up. There is a good demand for cigars, and much business is done at the custom house, frequently $4,000 being taken in during tho day. Lust week Sheriff Pickett attached a rnft of logs lying at Old Woman’s Bluff, claimed to be the property of Maj. Robert Ely, of Mitchell county. Georgia, in behalf of Capt. Robert Morgan, who lavs claim against Maj. Ely in the sum of $5OO. Henry Jones, the colored citizen of Palat ka Heights, who lost a horse, saddle and bridle several days since, lias recovered his property. It seems that the horse was ta ken for a shi >rt ride, and w;is found by Jones the following morning, saddled and bridled ami on its way home. At Kissimmee W. S. Douglas and M. J. Towne have bought the McLaurin saw mill which they propose to move to Floradoiphia as the inauguration of the boom which is sure to strike that place this winter. Their first contract is to get out the material for the large hotel which will be at once orected and made ready for the reception of guests this season. The new pastor of the Ocean street Presby terian church at Jacksonville ir the Rev. Wal ter Condit, now pastor of tno Presbyterian church at Southampton, Long Island N. Y., a church with a congregation of about 400. Mr. Condit desires, however, to remove from the rigors of Northern win ters, and therefore accepts the invitation from Jacksonville. One of the largest crowds ever in Gaines ville assembled Saturda} to bear Maj. Rus sell and W. W. Hicks at the local option meeting, which commenced at Oak Hall Park, but was interrupted by a heavy shower. Then the crowd met afterward in the court house. The ladies prepared din ner in the grove, but it was somewhat in jured by the shower. At Fernandina Capt. Williams, of the steamship State of Texas, reports sighting the derelict bark Akbar off Hatteras, di rectly in the path of coastwise steamers. He set fire to the wreck fore and aft and left it burning This same wreck was reported a few days since some 300 miles to the south ward ol Hatteras, and has been floating around several months. Saturday a child got on the trestle of the Jacksonville, Tampa and Key West railway near where the road crosses River street at Palatka. The fast mail train came thun dering along, and the people who saw the situation of the child were almost paralyzed with the prospect of its horrible death. The engineer, seeing the child, put on the brakes and stopped the train, the jKiint of the cow catcher being only a foot and a half from the child. C. W. Gates has some fine specimens of alligators which he expects to have on exhi bition at the Sub-Tropical this winter if tho consent of Col. Forbes can be obtained. There are four of these saurians, and the smallest of tho number is largo enough to attract attention. The king of the lot is 13 feet Ion; - and its age is estimated at 150 years. The next is II feet in length and is large enough to put a quietus on a man for all time. Tin other ones are 7 and 0 feet in length respectively. The Farmers’ Convention of Suwannee county, met in the court house at Live Oak, Saturday, aud organized by electing Hon. Robert F. Rogers, President, and B. F. Um stead, Secretary.

Rogers was elected a delegate to tho Formers' Al liance to be held in Marianna, Oct. 4. The locul clubs of the county will elect delegates to the State convention of farmers to be held in Gainesville, Oct. 19. Key West Equator: Our dispatches from Havana report that “Quiebra Hacha,” well known in this city, and who left here re cently in charge of the exjiedition to Cuba, was killed by the government troops while seeking a spring for water. Quiebra Hacha, •though a Spaniard, hail for many years ad vocated and fought for tho Cuban cause, and his death is much regretted by the Cubans. Many of our citizens will remem ber him as the large Bfauiiaisi who was con nected with the barroom in the stone build ing belonging to Willie Monsalvatge. The body found in the St. Johns river near Jacksonville a day or two ago proves to be that of John Mahon, a laborer. He had been employed on Shell Island by A. McCollum. He left tho island last Sunday in a small boat, for Mayport against the ad vice of those who thought his trip would be a very risky one, in tlie face of the had weather and unfavorable wind and tide prevailing at the time. Nothing more was heard of him until his body was found in the water as narrated in these columns recently. It is supposed that liis boat was swamped, and being unable to swim, he drowned. Several residents of Decatur county, Oa., in erdrr to take advantage of the drynossof Gadsden county, are making an effort to establish a burroom in Decatur county, about threo miles north of Concord, and the probabilities are that they will succeed. The local option law in Georgia requires the whisky seller to obtain a |>ermit from at least two-thirds of all tho freeholders with in a radius of three miles around the place of business, and as several negroes are free holders in the section referred to, and de sire the sale of whisky, it appears to be an easy mat ter to obtain tho required number of names. Tho total forest area of the United States, according to the chief of the forestry divis ion, is 489,910,(XX1, and of this 20,0(X),<XX) acres are in Florida. But oneHtato, Minne sota, has a greater forest growth; hut. three, Arkansas. California and Oregon are esti mated to have the same acreage. The pro portion of forest to total arealn Florida Is 57. 6 per cent., and the forest area held in farms is 2.186, 601 acres, or 10.9 per rent, of the total forest area. The proportion of forest in farms to the total farm area is 66.3 percent. The area of land iu farms unim proved, hut not in forests, is 163,083 acres, or 5 per cent, of the total farm area.

Dr. John C. L’Engle. of Jacksonville, has a typewriter that has had quite an experi ence. It is of the Remington make, and while it does not contain all the latest im provements, still it is a good machine and does as good work and as fast as any that are made. Several years ago a vessel from New York to a South American port was lost at sea A portion of her cargo, con sisting of general merchandise, whs wiished ashore. Among that picked up was this typewriter, which was enclosed in a nearly water tight case, causing it to float. At the sale of the wreckage which followed the machine passed into the hands of a St. Augustine gentleman, who bad it thoroughly overhauled at the manufactory and pre sented it to Dr. L’Engle. The machine bears the number of 505, while those being manufactured now range up to nearly 30,(X)0. The low number indicates that it was among the first turned out. The commissioners of Lake county met with the Orange Countv Commissioners at Orlando on the 19th and 13th for the pur pose of ascertaining and receiving the amount of money due county from that part of old Orange embraced in Lake county. The amount was found to be a lit tle over 810,000, the most of which was re ceived and deposited to the credit of Lake county; the balance is to be paid at the next regular meeting. The Lake County Commissioners then adjourned to meet on the 15t.h, at Sutntervule, to receive the amount of money due Lake county from old Sumpter county. The amount due is $10,805.10, which will make the handsome sum of $90,805 in cash in the treasury to start Lako county’s machinery with; and with that amount of cash in the treasury, and Bloomfield as the county site, Lake county is sure to prosper. Bloomfield fur nishes free buildings for the county’s use as long as wanted, thereby saving the county the heavy expense of building a court hous<■. The customs officials of the Treasury De partment have not abandoned their plan for the consolidation of the customs district of the country by closing those districts where the revenue is less than the expense incurred in its collection, but will again bring it to the attention or Congress at the coining session. There are now three dis tricts on the east coast of Florida, in all of which the receipts are less than the expenses. But it can bo said that the department is in' favor of the retention of one collection district on this coast, and, of course, it is considered that the district of St. Johns, with Jacksonville as the prin cipal port of entry, is the most important, and should, therefore, be kept up On the west const the district of St. Marks is the one to be abandoned, accord ing to the Department’s plan. While Congress will bo urged to supply the necessary legisla tion for the closing of those non-supporting districts, it is impossible, of course, to fore cast tho legislative action in the premises. It can be said, - though, that the Treasury people do not talk in a very sanguine mood about the success of tho proposition, aud this may prove a grain of comfort, at least, to those interested in the ports of entry it is sought to abolish. Around Sanderson for the past two weeks the cotton crop has dwindled to less than an average fair yield, owing to the rust which has appeared, occasioning the shedding and premature maturing of the bolls in spots through the fields, which seems prevalent for all localities. The weather has leen as propitious as could be expected for tho gen eral maturing of crops, thereby perplexing farmers, who cannot account tor or combat this disease, which presents itself at a mo ment when their prospects appear most ad vantageous for a good harvest. Did this blight, occur individually or singly in remote districts it possibly would and could lie combated, but considering the area it covers when appear ing precludes all idea of its being caused through inexperience in tilling or fortihza tion of lands. This situation is distressing, considering the poor class of farmers who persist in cultivating this product with the expectation of providing their surpl s cash after liquidating their yearly bills for sup plies, etc. It is reported from various lo calities that the caterpillar has made its ap pearance in some vicinities; this is doubt ful. Tbelong dry season has so toughened the bolls in their advanced maturity that it maysafely be regarded as beyond the des truction of that iiest. Saturday night M. Nyland and Veto Thornton, two white men, were arrested in LaViila for drunkenness, and were put in the same cell with four negroes. The white prisoners were not searched before they were incarcerated, aud soon after their im prisonment the negroes ascertained that each of the white men had some money on his person, when the four negroes attacked thoin und, beating them in a shameful man ner, robbed them of every cent they had. Nyland luul $3:l on his person, $3O of which was in gold, and his companion had only about $3. Sunday morning Depot} - Sheriff W. D. Vinzant heard of the occurrence, and immediately went out to LaViila and de mand'd that the negro prisoners lie turned over to him to be placed in the county jail that they might lie prosecuted on the dual charge of assault and battery and robbery from the person. The LaViila authorities readily gave them into the custody of tho county official, who conveyed them to the county jail. Where they were locked up. Upon searching them twenty odd dollars of the stolen money was fmrnd upon their persons, which amount wtsvl restored to Nyland and Thornton. One of the gold coins the officer choked out of the mouth of Nickerson, where he had it concealed. YVhen an attempt was made to plaice tho handcuffs on Green's wrists he liecame very boisterous and defied the officer to do it, nut Vinzant by his poculiar persuasive powers, overcame the belligerent scoundrel’s objections, and succeeded in ornamenting his wrist. with the steel bracelets, although the officer ex perienced considerable trouble all the way to jail with this particular outlaw. This quartette of superlative black sheen had Been in tho La villa jail for several days serving out sentences for violations of the laws of Ln Villa. Owing to tho injuries which Nyland and Thornton had received at the hands of these desperadoes they were released from custody. War Relics. From the Jemp(On) Sentinel. Mr. J. 8.

An Encouraging Increase in the Fish eries Industry. j Special Correspondence of the Jacksonville (Fin.) Tfmes-Union. Washington, Sept. The officials of the United States Kish Commission offer the following statement as to some of the fish eries of Western Florida: With its extensive sea and gulf coast, and its great interior water supply, Florida has an abundance of food fishes easily accessible to nearly every _portion of the State. For a long time the fishing in Florida waters was done by the farmers and settlers for home consumption, while with Hie growth of the larger towns, local industries arose simply to supply the immediate neightior hoods’, and a small traffic with Cuba gradu ally sprang up. The most Important fish eries of Florida, however, are but ten or fiftoon years old. The mullet occurs everywhere about the coast, aud for a large part of the year is the most abundant and the most easily secured of the fishes. In season it is an excellent food fish, ranging In weight from one to five pounds. After giving a description of the various kinds- of fish caught, tie* expert says: There is a large supply Of good oysters it being estimated that there are more than 12,800 acres of edible oysters in the waters of Florida. They occur in natural beds in the salt and brackish waters of the bays of the northern part of the Htate, on the east and west coasts. Along Lite shores of the southern part of the peninsula are large reefs of a small oyster known as the “cove oyster,” or “tree oyster,” the latter name referring to their growing upon the tide washed roots of the mangrove. These oys ters ure so small that they have no commer cial value. Apalachicola has been doing a thriving business in canning the excellent oysters of that vicinity Mast of the fresh oysters of Florida are consumed locally. Tho river fisheries of commercial import ance are confined to the St. John’s river, where shad are taken ie considerable num bers. During the last few years, however, tho catch has been small, .and the supply seems to lie nearly* exhausted. A statistical statement connected with the report gives some interesting facts, by way of comparison relating to the growth and extent of the fisheries of Western Florida, from which your correspondent takes the following: In 1880 the whole number of fishermen in the State was 2,104; according to this new statement there are now 2,700 fishermen in Western Florida alone. In 1880 there were 2&5 shoremen all told; now there ure 4(X) in Western Florida. The-total number of ves sels in Florida in 1880 engaged in the fish eries was 142, valued at s:.’-W < 2oo, the num ber of boats 740, valued at *16,558; the value of minor apparatus $21,923, and the addi tional capital invested $39,968. There are now in Western Florida alone 211 vessels employed In the fisheries with a value of $365 755; 1.061 boats, valued at $22,750; minor apparatus having a value of $33,140; aud additional capital invested $63,255. In 1880 the total capital of the entire State in vested in the fisheries was $325,644, as against $489,000 now invested in such in dustries in Western Florida alone. The fish product of the entire Htate in 1880 had a value of $666,370, whereas the Western Florida fish product has reuched a value of $633,388. _ THE SWEET BARD OF AVON. Shakespeare Contributed 7,000 New Words to the Language. From the Chicago 'Tribune. Every number of the “New English Dic tionary”will bo to Shakeipeareans worth the cost of the whole work. It will throw a thousand side-liglits on Shakespeare's lan guage which they have always longed for but could novor hope to behold. How much of our vocabulary and its significance can be traced back no further than the great dramatist will be revealed so clearly that ht* who runneth may real. Something of this disclosure may be seen in any fraction of the stupendous work Turning over the first 200 pages of the firsi, number it will be ascertained that 146 words are first found in Shakespeare, either altogether or In some of their meanings. At this rate our total in debtedness cannot bn less than for 7,000 Shakespearean words or meanings, Rome owed only one word to Julius Caesar. The nature of our debt will be more appearent if we examine some of these hundred and a half of Shakespearean words, all so near the beginning of the alphabet that the lust of them is “air.” We owe the poet the first use of the word “air” itself in one of its senses as a noun, and iu three 14s a verb or parti ciple. He first said “air-drawn’ and “air less.” He ad.led anew signification to “airy” and “acriaL” Nobody before him had written “aired,” and more than a tithe of the verbal gifts now iu view were such perfect participles. Weilnigh as many were ud verbs. In no previous writer have Dr. Murray’s Argus eyes detect© l “accidental ly,” nor any of the following. “Abjectly,” ‘•acutely,” “admiringly,” “adoptedly,” “ad versely.” How our tutbers could exist so long without some of these vocables must move our special wonder. To “absolutedly.’’ “accordingly,” “actively," aud “affection ately” Hliid:aqleave addod anew sonse. It is not a little surprising that the word “abreast” was never printed before the cou plet: My soul shall thlqij keep company to Heaven; TaiTy, sweet soul, ;ov mine, then fly abreast. Of the 146 words and meanings first-given us by Shakespeare at least two-tnirds are of classical origin. BacOnians will say that such a gift’ couM not by any possibility Come from a man of “small Latin and less Greek.” Others will enlarge their ideas of what Bpn Jonson meant by “small.” The ■strangest thing seems to be that so few of ShaLesliesr’s innovations—not so much as one-fifth—have become obsolete. He gave them not only life hut immortality. It is perhaps equally noteworthy that while ho was never read so much as to-day, no writer before him (and scarcely one of his con temporaries) cited as authors of words, and senses is pow read at all, save by special students. Tho question, “Where did Shakespeare get his novelties in languagef” who can an swer' His “accoutred” was in print ten years before any other writer gives us any of this verb, which it is agreed come from Latin through French. The noun “accoutrement” was earlier, but only in rare books. In oho instance Shakc.npoure is er roneously said io show the earliest specimen of a certain meaning.
