Smith engaged in a small sized tight, which resulted in Smith cutting O’Shields in the calf of the leg and in the thigh. Dr. McJunkin was called and the wounds.

Toombs has been at lastshiped from Italy. This is the third monument that has been built. The flint was lost at sea. A bed of crystals was found in the second after all had lieen completed except the base block. The monument will be erected immediately upon arrival. The residence of John M. Dexter in Dix ville, near Brunswick, had a narrow escape from destruction on Thursday night. His hired man discovered the back end of his . store room was on Are just after supper and gave the alarm. With the timely' aid of a hand pump and the assistance of neighbors the flames were l before much damage was.done. About §'ls will cover the loss. John Johnson, who twenty-one years ago, one night while his young wife, whom he had just married about a year before, was on a trip to Athens, disap] >eared and was never hoard from, has returned to Daniels villa. He has lived most of the time in Oregon, where he owns a,TOD head of cattle. He has plenty of money. A year ago his wife obtained a divorce. He has not met her yet. 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, this is to give notice that we have retired from the poultry business per manently. 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 be about On Thursday last Stephen Black, a prom inent young planter of Oglethorpe county, 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. FLORIDA. The Florida Conference of the Methodist Kpisoopa] Church, South, is in annual ses sion in Leesburg. The Naples Company will put up a forty five room hotel and erect a number of cot tagos at Fort Myers. Punta Crorda was incorporated Saturday by electing W. H. Simmons Mayor, and a Hoard of Aldermen,Clerk and Marshal Mon day. Maj. George H. Norris, the well-known orange king of Florida, whose groves are located near Highland Bark, died at his residence on Thursday night of Bright’s disease. While packing oranges recently W. H Frier packed one box that would hold only TO oranges. Where the average Is about 140 and upward it shows that those 70 must have been monsters. J. A. Hancock, living ten miles north of Lakeland on the Wire road, five mile* fro t Flat ford of Hillsborough river, made <OO gallons of syrup off of one acre of yellow cane on flat woods land highly fertilized. There is now being erected an orang'- whip factory at Apopka City to cost #30,000. The factor** now uiMttr way paying $9 per 1,000 for oranges, regardless of color, only requiring good, sound fruit. L. W. Cowdery, of Lakeland, has a very curious fowl which he calls a Mexican vul ture. It is a very curious bud, closely re sembling a cross between a game chicken and a guinea. It is a genuine curiosity and will in a few days be sent to the Bub- Tropical. Florida Cracker: During a recent visit to C. F. Heyer, we were shown a Bible owned by that gentleman, 148 years old. Everything of any ]>osdble interest suitable for a Bible can lie found in it, and the bind ing is better now, not withstanding hard usage, than most books of this generation. George H. Stuart, who was shot on last Saturday night at Chuluota in' William Barfield, is reported as being somewhat I let ter. Barfield, who escajied at the time, is being hard pressed by Sheriff Anderson with almost a certainty of being caught. He was seen crossing the St. John’s river at Cook’s Ferry, and the Sheriff has covered every point by telegraph. Many of Apopka’s citizens are going into tobacco culture. Professor George A. Har rison will plant about ten acres, A. D. Mark four, J. M. Bedford two, D. 11. Cum mins two and others will put in small patches. Dr, D. T. Patton will be glad to furnish seed to all who desire them, he hav ing received a supply through the courtesy of the South Florida Railroad Company. 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 faces. Trains are now running to Tampa, but under some slight restrictions, not re maining over night. 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 tempter mkUt, and in a whisper guaranteed the ntsulte of hi* professional assistance if Mynheer should w.*h to try tba efficacy of hi* art try an experiment, an a two-legged •übjerit the e’e.,- * of the proffered oom- Mi.Mtsw haring * rider ;y suggested n con jertare that tins "cVrpri'O.g foreigner was eMitemiwating tie t'ttnrr ai of some ob iiogioas feUow-bipwi.
