Newnansville Advertiser: The rapscal
lion who despoiled our hen coop last, week,
instead of “taking the consequences” with
which we threatened him, seems to have
preferred chickens. He came back Friday
night and stole two more. As we have pre
sented the remaining pair to Bob Brown,

T. J. Bagley, of Milledgeville, was thrown
from a buggy and badly hurt Wednesday
evening. He was returning from a trip in
the country, and while on the Supples place,
where the t üblic road runs parallel with the
railroad, the train came up, frightening his
horse, which ran away with him, upsetting
the vehicle and throwing him out. He
suffered by the fall internally, but is able to

On Thursday last Stephen Black, a prom

was returning h *-e from Athens in a buggy
drawn by a horse and mule, when his um
brella fell out. and on reaching for it his
team took fright, and on grasping the lines
to stop them, he was drawn between the
wheels and badly gashed on the face and
across the eye. One leg was also bruised.
The injuries are not serious, but will keep
Mr. Black confined to his room for several
days, Mr. Black skillfully succeeded in
stopping his team, despite the awkward
and trying position in which he was
thrown."
Milledgeville Chronicle: A young man,
about 15 years old, living near Steven's
pottery, named Ben Finney, accidentally
soot himself in the arm last Saturday even
ing while returning home from the pottery.
It seems that he was in a wagon and had"a
single-barreled shot-gun. In endeavoring
to get out of the wagon he allowed the ham
mer to strike the body of the wagcn, w hich
discharged the gun and emptied the load
into his right arm at the shoulder. Drs.
Gilmore and Robinson were summoned and
dressed the wound. Although it was very
severe, the physicians decided not to ampu
tate the limb. When last heard from the
lad was doing as well as could be expected.
Washington Chronicle: A traveler from
Broad river Thursday evening told us that
while hunting that day Ben Neal shot a
turkey which fell into the river. This was
unfortunate, but Christmas was too near at
hand to give up such valuable game with
out a struggle, so quickly disrobing he
plunged into the chilly water of the Broad
and caine out with his turksv. This heroic
deed of Benny's has only been rivaled by
Byron in swimming the Hellespont and
the negro who lost his life last summer at
tempting to rescue a watermelon, but we
an glad to state that our hero was more
fortunate than either, as the negro was
drowned, and Lord Byron had the ague,
while at last reports Bonny was doing
well.
The Building Committee of the Young
Men’s Christian Association of Athens held
another meeting on Friday afternoon to
formulate plans for obtaining the balance
of the money required to liegin operations
on the proposed building, which they are
determined to build as soon as all arrange
ments can be made. About SO,OOO was re
ported as subscribed, and as soon as the
amount they need is subscribed a full list of
all the subscribers will be published, who
have been the friends of the enterprise.
Magnificently appointed buildings are being
put up all over the land for the young men,
and Athens will no doubt soon boast of a
finely equipped association building that
will be attractive and beneficial to her
young men in every way.
Saturday afternoon little Willie Moore
sustained a painful and serious accident at
the elevator mills, near the Northeastern
Railroad depot, at Athens. He is just ten
vears old, and is the son of Mrs. Kate
Moore, of Athens. The little loy was
hunting pigeons in the mill, and making a
misstep, fell from the third floor into the
elevator shaft. The shaft sinks into a deejv
well-like cellar, and the boy
must have fallen forty feet. His
little brother gave the alarm, and in a
few minutes John Cain rushed to the ele
vator shaft. A colored man was lashed with
e rope and let down into the shaft. He se
cured the limp form of the bruised sufferer
and soon had him safely landed. He was
carried to the residence of his mother near
by, and Dr. Gerdiue was summoned to at
tend hfm. Saturday night little Willie was
speechless, and it was feared he had sus
tained some serious blow upon the head.

Everything of any ]>osdble interest suitable

A six-year-old colored boy, son of Henry
Watson, who lives on Mr. Henry Whittle’s
place, live miles north of Quincy, caught
fire Tuesday morning last, and burned to n
crisp, while his mother had gone on a visit
to her brother, on an adjoining plantation.
Wh('n she returned home the child had
crawled to the bed and was lying in it dead
—not a thread of clothing on him —ail being
burned off while he was on the floor.
A Florida drummer reports that while
on a train coining from Plant
City, they stop|>ed to break up
the quarantine camp, and when the
workmen raised the floor of one of the tents
a fine rattlesnake was found quietly slum
bering beneath. No one can account for
his presence there, but it is supposed he
was the offspring of three empty bottles—
two quarts and a pint—which were found in
close proximity, and which had a strong
flavor of fusil oil. Fusil oil is used for
“fumigating” yellow fever suspects, and
while it smells like “red-eye,” no one would
cast such a reflection on the quarantine
boys—besides Polk is a dry county.
The Kissimmee correspondent of the Sa
vannah Morning News writes as follows:
The first term of the Osceola county Circuit
Court convened, with J udge John D" Broome
presiding, on Thursday, Dec 15, Acting
States Attorney W. L. Pa iner in attend
ance, together with a good representation
from the Orange county bar. Owing to the
bill creating this county leaving some doubts
as to qualified voters, there having been no
registration since the creation of the county,
court adjourned until Feb. 7, by which time
it is expected to have qualified jurors. G. F.
Parker, formerly of Wavcroas, Ga., was
admitted to the bar by Judge Broome. The
general manager, Capt. Jt. E. Rose, of th<?
iamous St. Cloud sugar plantation, expects
to test his great sugar refinery In February.
Business is beginning to get on its feet again.
On our streets are seen a great many new

MODERN MAGICIANS.
A Description of Some of Their Won
derful Tricks.
Felix Ostcald in the December Cosmopolitan.
When Frederick Gerstaecker accompanied
the Duke of Coburg to Eastern Africa, the
incognito of his sovereign friend was
dropped at Cairo, where a German banker
treated them to a dinner of fatherland fare,
followed by an exhibition of local talent:
fife concerts, Arabian dances, and legerde
main. The exponent of the latter accom
plishment produced a copper dice-box and
repeatedly emptied it on the carpet, alterna
ting his throw- with predictions that were
lost upon the foreigners; but after a serie
of similar preliminaries invited Ills audience
to an opeu terrace, and in the plain light
of the evening sun flung up
a number of transparent balls that dis
appeared at an apparent height of some
eighty feet above the foot of the esplanade
The globes were colorless and pellucid like
white glass, but as light as gum, and were
repeatedly submitted to the examination of
the spectators. After passing from hand to
hand they were put in an open vessel, slia]>ed
somewhat like a short-handled dipper, and
leaning back until his outstretched arm
nearly touched the ground, the wizard then
flung them straight up in the air, where
they could bo seen glittering for a moment
like icicles or large glass pearls. But
nobody ever saw them fall down
again, though the scene of the experiment
was surrounded by a large, level lawn;
the air seemed to have swallowed them
like globes of dissolving vapor. Could they
have evaporated or exploded into a spray
of minute particles (after the manner of
“Prince Rupert’s drops”)? A sleight-of
hand trick was clearly out of the question,
but a more tenable explanation of the phe
nomenon would have puzzled a chemist as
much as an optician. Gerstaecker tried in
vain to bribe the wizard into a hint on the
composition of his missiles, and was not
much luckier in Batavia, where a Parsee
juggler treated the Dutch’ residents to a
novel niatanza, or killing show, in the circus
of the oid city bull-ring.
His victims were a number of worthless
curs which their owners or captors had
brought along with the distinct understand
ing that their entries would not survive the
incidents of ttie performance. With no
weapon but a light stick (possibly a tube),
some six feet long by an inch in diameter,
the performer entered the arena, and then
invited his patrons to start their pets, one
at a time. A lank hound, almost hairless
with mange, opened the festivites by
making a rush round the ring, but
stopped short on finding his way
barred bv the still lauker professor, and
retreated after displaying his few re
maining teeth. Tiie necromancer held iiis
staff at arm’s length, still facing the dog,
who presently began to stagger, and two
minutes after had expired in convulsions. A
second cur managed to run the blockade by
leaping over the ext ntled staff, but soon
after began to show signs of distress, and
before the end of the third minute had
shared the fate of his predecessor. Dog
after dog entered the ring in quick succes
sion, some of them stopping in surprise
and sniffing at the corpses of their doomed
forerunners, but all finally approached
the possessoi of the fatal secret, or even
snapped at his naked shins, and not
one of the thousand spectators saw him
strike a direct blow, or defend himself
in any way suggesting a mechanical ex
planation of the uniform result. He would
merely lift his staff w ith a menacing ges
ture or permit a blixikade-runuer to tou ch
it in darting by, but in no instance was
there occasion for repeatiug that touch.
The victims hud harlv time to complete the
circuit of the ring lief ore their gait under
went a peculiar change; they would drag
themselves along and stagger, or start as
under a sudden blow, then roll over and and e
in the convulsions characterizing the effects
of certain virulent drugs. They had evi
dently been poisoned; bur how? A post
mortem inquest failed to reveal as much as
a scratch or a puncture. A poisoned
arrow could not have entirely
disappeared, while a gaseous poisou
would have betrayed itself by its odor or
by i! effwta on the jiersoii of the ]>er
fortner. After the conclusion of the nm
tauza Mr. Gerstaecker secured a private in
terview with tiie artist, ami in vain offered
him a liberal iniimemenf to explain the
, modus rj/>rrrinrti of his trick, The Pttrsee
mmmod tribe prix/f but at last took Ins
