Glover, the grocer, has sold his stock of goods and retail busi ness under the opera house to R. J. Perry, who has been connected with him, one time as partner, in the business many years. Mr Glover has made this sale in order that he may devote his whole time and attention to his wholesale business. Quitman has received during the present season 7,000 bales of cotton. The receipts, it is thought, will reach 10.000 bales, which will be the largest of any point between Albany and Savannah The planters are also represented as being in better condition than for several years past. The season has been good for gathering, and the grades of cotton class high. A peculiar letter was received at the Ex ecutive Department, Tuesday. It speaks for itself: ‘‘Cincinnati, Oct.

Gordon: Dear Sir—Your speech at Cincin nati is more valuable than tons of gold toward building the monument of peace and prosperity throughout this land. ! ten der to you mv love and respect.

A.. 58 and bO East Second street, Cincinnati, O.” A fatal accident occurred near Canton,on the Marietta and North Georgia railroad, Monday, at 3 o'clock. Some hands were widening a railroad cut. ami had dug under a bank, with the intention of splitting n/T a big mass of dirt afterwards. Suddenly the mass of dirt overhead parted from the bank and fell to the bottom of the cut, catching several of the men and instantly killing John Bishop, a white laborer, who lives near Canton. His leg was fear fully mangled. Several others were slightly injured. The Stockton burglars have been arrested. The parties were traced to Valdosta and captured. Their names were Sol. Hines, a Methodist nreachcr of Valdosta, and the other was William Wright, an escaped con vict for whom SIOO had been offered. A part of the goods were recovered, also the instruments they did the work with. Wright wat taken back to his former con vict home at Albany and the preacher is in the Brunswick jail to await the spring term of the Clinch County Court. No money or goods, except one jug of liquor, was taken from tbi depot. The agent had the money on his pervui. The old jail proper*.' ‘ Macon was sold at auction Tuesday for $28,450, or some thing over *IOO per square foot, the property being 240 feet front and 210 feet deep. It was divided into seven lots, the two corner lots 40 feet front, and the other five 32 feet front. Lots Nos. 12 and tl weresold to D. J. Baer for $.5,950. $3,500 and $8,500 re spectively. Lot No. 7 was sold to Dr. Chap pin for $5,080, and the other three were purchased by 8. R. Jaques, Hetiry Horne and W. G. Soloman, they to determine on the division, at a uniform price of $3,500. These sales were considered quite fair, as the buildings on the property were worth but Little. Three lads, among them a youug fellow named Morris, were riding on some bales of OOtton loaded on a wagon, on Broad street, at Augusta Monday, and the boy named tumbling to the ground and falling in a mud hole, caused much merriment for his companions and other lookers-on. The fall was fatal. Nothing was thought of it at tie time. A little pale, the boy arose un aided and walked to Tom IVise's store near by, where he sat for awhile. Later he went to his home on lower Ellis street, where he told of his mishap and complained of se vere pains as the result thereof. loiter lie retired, and his condition growing worse medical assistance was called in and every attention and kindness were shown him. But be was beyond human aid. After hours of terrible suffering he died Tuesday —tfce immediate cause of his death being iii tarnal bleeding. It seems that in falling his chest struck the wheel, which produced the fatal injuries. Quite a sensation has been worked up at. Longstreet. a village in the eastern portion of Pulaski county, over a supposed ghost, who would, at a stated time and place, as tonish the travelers by the sudden appear ance of falling sticks and rocks, many of them being of immense size. Exaggerated rumors were brought to Hawkinsville by the over-credulous of that community. This ghost, like all others, had its fatal ending. A party of about twenty of the best young men of Cochran, on Saturday night last, made a visit to the scene of action with a view of catching the ghost, in which they were emi nently successful, as it was an easy matter to locate the ghosts in the persons of Jim Daniels, an old man, his son Gua and a boy by the name of Gerty. Their object seemed to be to create a sensation, then to charge for the appearance of the ghost, as one of them stated that Saturday night would be the last free open-air concert. Gus Daniels was caught with a large number of sticks and rocks concealed on his persons. A few days since three gentlemen left Aflairsvillefor their respective homes North' Messrs. G. S. Lockwood, of Roekwood, 111., J. F. Hawthorne, Oregon. 111. .and D. A. Sloane, McGregor, 111., who fought in the army and on the Union side, members of a survivor*’ association. Hervex Dix Tost,No. 371, of McGregor, 111. These gentlemen came down to go over the battle grounds in and around Adairsville, and to carry back with them any souvenirs of their visit that they might so find. They expressed great desire, as well as curiosity to see a genuine Coufedl orate uniform worn in service, and their demands were readily acceded t >, for, upon being invited into the parlor of the Stanton House there, “all tattered and torn," with bullet marks in plenty, and a Yank's bullet sewed to the coat, proof that the wearer wae wounded with ball—was presented to our old-time opponent* a Confederate Colonel’s uniform. They were pleased be vond expression, and neat speeches, full of the bonus of the Union and the South, were made by them. Afterward the souvenirs and an emblem of the olive branch were given in the way of a piece of this Confed erate coat, in exchange for a beautifully painted badge of the Union, underneath which were the words “Cos. C., 7th 111. Inf.” FLORIDA. At Gainesville Tuesday $2,000 was ap propriated by the Board of County Com nusaioners for the Immigration Association and Sub-Tropical Exposition. Carlos Valdes Pueyo writes from Ybor City denying the truth of the report that he was dead. He also denies that there hHs t>een a case of yellow fever at Ybor City. The docket shows for the fall term of the Circuit Court of Orange county the largest, amount of court business aver be fore, both as to number of cases and amounts involved. At St. Augustine Monday the County commissioners threw out the petition for a vote on local option on account of an insuf ficient number of votes and other irregu ! larities, fifteen female names being on the I *>• Gadsden county land >ales still continue I Messrs. Carl Vogt & Sons bought a 3,non ' acre tract from the heirs of the MeLstiehlin | estate, a few days since, paying lor it SO,- j 000 cash. This is a * cry valuable place for all farming purposes, and is very cheap, ns | the income from It bn* been from stoo to I SSOO. Arcadia . t rrariiun: Every man that owns land in this sunny land feels that he | senses a fortune until the tax assessor calls around, when be realizes the fact that hie air castles must tumble and he must conic ! dow nto business. Col. Trabue includes a , four-acre block of land valued a' .810,000 i (his valuation' in his bid for the county site*. At the ln.st meeting of the County Commis sioned! the Colonel wept bitter tears, be cause his land was not assessed at sls per acre (his valuation). At Gninosville Monday an old colored man by the name of Taylor was returning from a hunting expedition and wa< passing through a dense thicket near the rear of Judge King’s anil Capt. Huff 's fields at the point where State street terminates in a swamp, w hen lie came upon a place where It was evident thnt a small hole had been dug and only a portion of the earth put back in refilling it. The old man at once began to scratch off the fresh sand, and after going to a depth of three inches came to a box which no pulled up and examined. On re moving the top, which was not nailed, lie discovered that it contained the remains of a partly decomposed white child. He at once replaced the box as lie had found it, and coming on to town, reported what he had found. Sheriff VVienges notified Jus tice A. J. Cone, who impaneled a jury and proceeded to the mysterious- grave to investigate the matter. An investigation showed that the child was a white girl baby, that it had been buried a month or six weeks, and that it had been alive after birth, as it was fully dressed in baby attire, with an outside wrapping of something that looked like the skirt, of a woman’s dress. The improvised coffin was a cracker box. about a loot deep and fifteen inches in length. Although not twenty feet from the city boundary line, the place where the child was discovered is an unfre quented and dreary place. That part of State street is never traveled and it is thickly grown up with hushes and weeds. There can be but little doubt blit that the child was murdered, perhaps to hide an erring mother's shame. The matter will be investigated as fully as possible by the jury', which will re-convene this morning. The Bt. Augustine Citizens’ Convention, with its forty delegates, met Tuesday night at the Board of Trade rooms. The meeting was calks! to order by B. Genovar. Judge M. R. Cooper was nominated temporary Chairman and H. Gail laid Secretary. The majority rule prevailed. As candidates for Mayor the names of VV. M. Ingraham and George S. Greeno were offered. This nomi nation brought B. Genovt o his feet, and he protested very strongly against the nomi nation of Mr. Greeno. His remarks were bitter attacks upon that gentleman’s political record, raking up a polit ical scandal of vears ago. The re marks made fell painfully on the ears of the assembled delegates and it was regarded as extremely unfortunate that an attack of this kind was made in a convention that professed to tie .a purely non-partisan meeting of citizens. Of the ballots cast Ingraham received 30 votes and Greeno 10. The following nominations were made for the balance of the city offi cers: Moody for City Clerk, on the first ballot; Marshall I. V. Drysdaie for Tax As lessor; C. F. Hopkins for Tax Collector, on the fourth ballot. At this juncture Mr. Greeno appeared at the convention, and on permission of the chairman made repiy to Mr. Genovar’s remarks, denying them. \ lie received the cheers of the audience. “I’ll meet you in the plaza and prove what I sav,” replied Mr. Genovar. After speaking Air. Greeno walked out and the balloting was resumed. J. AV. Allen was nominated by acclamation for City Treasurer. Nominations for Aider men were made as follows: First ward, F. SV. Bruce; Second ward. Thomas Leminis: Third ward, J. F. Llantbias: Fourth ward. George AV. Atwood. The meeting ad journed in good order. CUT OFF HIS PIGTAIL. English Sailors Save a Chinese Culprit From His Countrymen. J. Keane's "Mere Shakings." The ship was still three days from Hong Kong, the first pluce at which the prisoner could be handed over to the proper authori ties. To avoid a certain disturbance among the Chinamen forward the quarter-deck deliberations resulted in an announcement fore and aft the ship tiiat the execution, with all due form and ceremony as practiced under the English flag, would take place at noon the next day, and the sentence was communicated impressively to the prisoner, through an interpreter, in the presence of all Iris country men, who demonstrated most cordial approval. As the hour approached next day preparations went forward solemnly round the forehatch. The butcher's block was laid amidships, the carpenter’s broad ax by its side, Stages for spectators rigged, the first class passengers, numbering about a hundred, assembled on the bridges, boats and houses near, with all the ship’s people. The fore rigging ami all the forepart of "the deck swarmed with Chinamen eager for vengeance. At noon the ship’s bell began to toll. Shortly after the prisoner was led out between two quartermasters: when near the block he was made to stand while the purser, in a surplice, read out the first verse of “The Wearing of the Green,” which was then sung by 200 voices, yet, though knowing his time had come, the culprit showed no remorse or repent ance. Our victim’s countenance remained impamive and inscrutable as though molded in putty. The last service over, thres quartermasters flung down the Chinaman on his face, his head on the centre of the broad butcher’s block. One man seized his queue while two held his feet, pulling with all their strength against one another. The poor wretch’s neck was stretched till it went “crick.” The chief officer raised the ax, flourished it round and round his head, threatening to bring it down time after time until suspense bad worked onlookers up to the pitch of agony. Suddenly down swept the broad blade a rasp anil thud; to the opposite side of the deck flew the men who had been extending the body. The ax had severed the Chinaman’S tail hn inch from his head. A prolonged, disgusted exclamation of “Hi-i-i-i” went, up from the crowd forward, oxoressing supreme con tempt for the skill of our executioner, and for our national manner of performing, which even tho prisoner seemed to share, for the sneer with which he regained his feet was the first indication of interest in the matter lie had displayed. In the confusion following the prisoner was led back to confine ment. Not much difficulty was experienced in convincing the others that by English law two attempts to execute tbe same man could not bo made on the same day So convinced of the bona fide character of the exhibition had they been that they gave no more trouble, and ultimately taking into consideration that the loss of tho tail is so much more calamitous than the loss of the head—they consented to the man being given over to the law in Hong Kong, where he was dealt wit H in a way less preferable than death to him, being condemned to live a convict without a fail.

It Was Midnight and Ma Wing Froze With Terror. From the .Vive 5 ork Times. The biting north wind whistled through Mott street yesterday in a blood chilling fashion. The Celestials who throng the thoroughfare drew their legs further up un der their togas and shuddered visibly. Those who had not made enough "monee" out, of the week’s “washer” to indulge in the luxu ry of grilled “ratee” were so miserable as to Inline descript ion. Their lips were bine and their teeth chattered. An idle observer might have deemed this wholly due to the cold. But it was not. it was terror A headless ghost appeared at 18 Mott-streetnn Friday night, and there has bi n untold wretchedness in Chinatown ever since. Ma VVing, a laundryman, was found standing to windward of a telegraph pole yesterday afternoon surveying IS—his board ing house—with anything hut satisfaction, MaAVing saw the ghost, and lias taken a dis like to it. He will do anything to escape seeing it, again. Mu Wing never harmed a dress shirt in his life, and says lie lias a good conscience. He does not drink hot waters, and always adulterates his opium. Con sequently bis statements are entitled to con siderable credit As Ma VVing settled his back comfortably against the pole and pre pared to recount his adventures he was speedily surrounded by a score or more of his shivering compatriots who indorsed everything he said. This was his tale: “Qui La (the ghost) thin and tallee like Melican man, all dlessed in white shirtee. He come lound by 12 o’clock, when nfiee sainee dark as lat tlap. Me lock my dior and go to bed. He no open dlor, no wantee ailee sainee Qui La. When I see him, big, white, no bead, I scleain, and then he gullump at me, and 1 luii likee ailee samee dam foolee. Qui Lago through wall. Aliee satnoa hollible!" Wa Wing was not the only one who saw the ghost. His description is corroborated by others who board in the house, and all agree that no more unique and clever ghost ever visited these shoras No. 18 Mott street is regarded as a haunted house, and its in mates would rather perish in the keen north wind than spend the night in the 1 warm company of the headless spectre. Enough weeds can grow along an ordi nary fence row out of reach of the plow to seed abundantly acres of laud, thus causing a hundred times the necessary amount of labor to keep the fence row clean. A growth of weeds along a fence row, by holding the moisture and keeping away the sun and air, will cause a fence to rot in one half the time it would if kept clean, thus adding a tremendous tax to the farmer. “Rough on Bile” Pills.
