On the old Whit Holly nlace, in East Ma con, lives Mr. Phillips. 'He is a farmer, and in one of the fields an old well had been cov ered over, on a level with the surface, and gradually the soij had accumulated on the cover until all traces of the treacherous pit were obliterated. Saturday a hoi-se, while browsing about in the field, walked on to the trap, the covering gave way, and the steed fell to the bottom, a distance of forty feet. The bottom caved in to such an extent that the horse is able to stand up, anil food has tieen dropped into the well for him while efforts are being made to get him out. At first parties started to dig him out, but this proved a hopeless task, and now the owner and others interested are discoursing whether to use a windlass, jackscrows or dynamite in rescuing the unfortunate animal At Macon, Tuesday morning, Master La i mar Washington, the 6 montbs-old grand son of CoL H. J. Lamar, called on Mr. i Davis. The handsome youngster bore with j him a magnificent cut glass decanter of rare j old Madeira wine. On the decanter was a beautifully cut scene of trees, ferns and J deer. The wine was full of age and rich to j oiliness. The decanter was a present to Mr. | Davis. With the glass Master Washington I carried an exquisite cut wine glass. From this Mr. Davis drank to the health of tho j handsome infant and gave a kingly blessing to the scion of a noble old Georgia family. The glass was carried home by the baby to be us<“d at his wedding. As the nurse was leaving with Master W ashington Mr. Davis charged her to be careful of the baby, as she would wish for happiness in the here after. Waynesboro True Citizen: For a short time on Thursday afternoon Waynesboro was utterly dumbfounded. A gentleman came hurriedly from the depot ami reported that the agent, (who is a skillful operator) had read snatches of messages a they passed over his wires, that Prosideut Cleveland had been shot while leaving the White House and was not expected to live, and that thousands of people hal collected, etc.. Telegrams from both of our offices were hurriedly sent to Augusta inquiring the particulars. In the meanwhile our people waited anxiously, their gloomy expressions and sad face* indicating dearly that they realized fully the situation. A Democratic Pre-i dent dead and his place filled by a Republi can. A Republican Cabinet, and thousands of good men turned out of office, and the whole country turned topsy turvey. The clearer we took in the situation, the worse we felt. But—Allah be praised—in n few moments the joyful tidings wore Hashed to us from Augusta that there was no truth in the report and that the great Cleveland “still lived and moved and nod his being,” not only the President in es.ir , but also the President in futuro. The sun shone out again and Waynesboro caught its breath. The country was safe, and an honest ad ministration still holds the reigns of gov ernment. Jailer Birdsong arrived in Macon at 6:30 Saturday evening having in charge Thomas Wool folk. The jailer, accompanied by Thomas J. Dames, left Macon early Satur day morning, and it was their intention to bring Woolfolk on the train arriving in Macon at 10:40 Saturday night, hut their presence in Atlanta becoming known they decided to coine earlier. Woolfolk was quite talkative during the trip. He said he was glad to get back to Macon. He felt happier than ever in his life before. because he had been accused of tilings of which he was innocent. He said lie did not care what, was done with him, that he could not be killed but one time. He did not s|-ak of the crime, but he frequently said that lie was an innocent man, and that the deed was committed by someone else. He in creased considerably in Uesh while in jail in Atlanta. He was allowed no privileges there, and of these restrictions he com plained in the letter written to Solicitor Hanlemaii. Ho was not allowed in the corridors with the other prisoners, and as cold weather was coming, he thought it a great punishment to bo deprived of going out. of his cell to the stove. Saturday the newsboy on the train discovered that Wool folk was aboard, and soon every passenger knew it. When the train arrived at a station some passenger would get off and tell it that Woolfolk was on board, and then everybody at the station would crowd in to get a glimpse of the man charged with the mur der of nine persons. It is thought that the trial will not take place for two or three weeks. FLORIDA. R. H. P. Drought has been appointed cashier of the Kissimmee City Bank.

Cook was committed last August for murder, and is now carried back to that county for arraignment and trial.

Cook was taken to Brevard county Saturday. Capt. Stewart, master of the British bark Gettysburg, now at Pensacola reports that a seaman made a violent assault on the ship’s second officer, on Oct. 19, while at sea, stabbing him severely; Carroll was placed in irons, but continued mutinous and threat ened to kill the second officer, when freed from his irons, and after tho arrival of tho vessel in quarantine, he did get, loose, and was very turbulent, and struck the Captain twice before he was subdued.

They were addressed by Senator A. S. Mann, who explaimsl what the company hoped to be able to accomplish, but stated that all would depend upon the growers organizing and acting together, as the dealers were anxious to come here and buy our fruit. He said the company would begin with a convention of the growers and dealers, which he. as General Superinten dent, had called for Thursday, Dec. 1, to meet in Jacksonville. All fruit would he sold by samples, and so far nil the large growers he had seen (naming mauy of the largest, among whom was James A. Harris) approved of his plan of bringing the dealers and growei-s together in convention, when a sample of all the groves in Florida could tie examined by the dealers, and, as by auc tion all goods are sold by samples, tho entire crop could be sold, or any portion the deal ers desired to buy.

Hopkins, passenger ngont in Jacksonville, of the East Tennes see, Virginia and Georgia railroad, had a man by the name of F. hernley arrested for procuring from him a railroad ticket under false pretenses. The circumstances of the case are about as follows: Last June, F. Fernley, who represented C. F. Love & Cos., of Chicago, soliciting orange and vegetable shipments from Florida, called on Mr. Hop kins and purchased a ticket to Omaha,Neb., for a woman whom he represented as his sister and giving in payment a draft on C. F. Love & Cos. The draft was sub sequently returned with payment re fused, and Mr. Hopkins had to lose the amount of the ticket. Since that time he has kept up a constant watch for Fernley with a view of having him arrested on sight. Reeently he returned to the city occupying the position of solicitor of fruits and vegetables for not only C. F. Love & Cos., of Chicago, but alsoof B. F. Coombs & Bro., of Kansas City, Dair Bros., of Cincinnati, and Num irieuhotf & Cos., of Indianapolis. As soon as Mr. Hopkins discovered Fernley on Satur day, be had him arrested under the above charge, whereupon the latter telegraphed B. F. Coombs & Cos., asking if they would honor his draft for $45, to which they re plied, “We will protect draft,” whereupon the draft was drawn and turned over to Mr. Hopkins, and the person was released from custody. A |sipka City is one of the most pleasantly situated towns in Mouth Florida, and it is by no means a wild fancy to conclude that it has a very bright future before it—grand ami substantial. It has a history dating as far back os the year 1851, since which time it has been steadily and surely assuming shape, until now it is a creditable-looking and prosperous town of about I,OUO inhabit ants, and despite the fact of the cholera be ing near New York, and that yellow Jack has been cutting his monkey shines at Tam pa, and that there are land sharks fleecing the simple out in California.

A bright good show ing for a town, eh; Everything is boom ing right along and a prosperous winter ami spring is anti-i pitted. Prospective settlers are beginning to arrive. Real estate is chang ing hands right briskly, new houses are go ing up in all directions and contracts are lie ing let out for others. Three and a half miles to the southwest stands out in bold re lief the great A*popka Ijtke, which is next to the largest body of water in the State; three and a half miles to northeast is Clay Springs, renowned for its healing waters ami beautiful scenery. Between these two (joints of so great interest, and conveniently near to either, is (as just stated) the town of Apopka City. SNAKES IN FORSYTH COUNTY. An Old Deacon Relates a Wonderful Story. Taylor Strickland, of Cumming (Ga.)the negro who killed the horned snake some time ago, killed anothei a few days ago, evidently a mate to the first, and near the same place. It measured nine feet, had a bull-like head nearly as large as a calf’s, and a four inch horn on the end of its tail. An old darkey standing by when the description was given, said: ‘Dat was’er mighty small snake of its kind. 1 killed one down de Chattahoochee l sit tom dat niezered thirteen feet, un had cr horn seven inches. It had deadened all de timber on bof sides er river fu’rz yo’ could see. I ’low dat was a biggest suuke ever foun’ in dis state. - ’ “Humph! Ytr knows mighty little 'bout snakes ef yo’ dinks dnt,” said another white haired old darky, who looked disgusted at such a weak recital of reptile stories. “I kill er snake one time down in south Georgia what was iiftoen feet long und bigger ’roun en my body; it jes’ eat all de hogs en chick ens, un young calves in tie settlement. < >ue day it cum to do skool house door un look in at de winder, un dat skool wasde quickes’ absolved yo' eber did see. Atter dat all tie white folks un niggars turned out, wld guns un dogs, un sarched till dey found bint. He was tryin - ter drag an old ox lied kil’ti down inter an’ old well wen dey shot him. - ’ “Dar wuz er black snake run dis nigger one time,'’ remarked another darkey who had been an attentive listener to the forego ing tales; “I wuz fishin’ in de Hightower, un havin’ mighty good luck, when I sen a long jioleer sorter flotin’ down stream. Welt tbit didn’t caision no notis; I jis ftsli on, but mighty soon dat pole stick his head up right dar under me, un golly! it wur no pole, it wur a snake wider head long’es my arm. 1 jes’ jump back er bout fifteen feet un started cross fields un fences wid dad snake lookin’ over my shoulder all 'e time; he’d sort a turn up he head az if axin’ why f didn’t run. He teas me dat way erbuut four mile, un I happen to run pas’ er big sycamore tree, un er suake wur so bizzy lookin’ up in my face he didn't notis tie tree, un jis run right up to de top. When I look back, dar he wuz, lus head pintin’ straight up, waitin fo’ me ter come down. - ’ “Is you member aw de chu’ch, sonny!” asked the first old darky. “Yes, sah; I’se er deacon. Why!” “ Kase dar wur some feat’ers in dat liar rativ dat seemed kind er ’jectionable. But if you's er deacon, I know in course its right.” Postal Pointers.
