A Whale or Rome ether Monster of the Deep In an Inland Stream—A Tree Deeded to Iteelf on the Records of Clarke County—A Watermelon Boiling on the Inside GEORGIA. There is talk of organizing a military company at Crawfordville. Last Sunday the colored people of the Methodist ehuroh at Fort Valley had their annual “thanksgiving, 11 and all of them contributed a portion of their crops toward decorating their church. A negro workman named John Adrte attempted to run from under a falling tun ber at the chemical works at Rome Tnurs day, but fell and was struck by the falling beam and bis leg broken. Supt. Porter wired that a special agent of tbe government would arrive in Columbus yesterday for the purpose of ascertaining the merit* of the application for anew count of the population of Columbus. Four of Jackson county's adipose citizens were mustered intoagroup on .Wednesday and footed up a total weight of 1,064 Jounds, as follows: L L. Patrick 304, J. J. aekson 30 i. Dr. James Thompson 340, W. T. Bennett 230. A china tree in the vara of W. D. Mc- Kenzie at Thotnastou was struck and shat tered by lightning u day or two ago. At Judge Thomas J. Brown's it killed two yearlings in the pasture. A mule belonging to a colored man named Torbort was killed in his stable. The 18-year-old son of John Mlmbs of Dublin died a day or two ago. Four years ago he swallowed a brass thiinble off the end of an umbrella, which lodged in bis throat and there remained until his death. It is said that the poison from the brass caused his death. At the morning service last Friday of the protracted meeting of the Methodist church, at Dublin, Rev. W. F. Smith was taken suddenly ill. His tongue was affected to such an extent that he could scarcely articu late; his arm became almost useless, and be was prostrated with general weakness. In a few hours his condition improved, and at night ae was enabled to attend service and receive into the church twenty-six members ou profession of faith. P. W. J. (JuarJe , a dry goods clerk, who has been employed for a number of years by Chamberlin, Johnson & Cos. of Atlanta, but who was discharged a few days ago, is locked up at the station house on a charge of carrying concealed weapons and of com mitting an assault with Intent to murder. The assault was made on John Ryan, the dry goods man. Bteve Ryan wrenched tbe pistol from Ids band aud caused his arre t. This story, like all other difficulties, has two sides. While little Willie Brown, a Baldwin e rnnty boy, was swimming in the river a few days ago h" was seized by an itching pain, which exhausted him Immediately, and had it not been for his playmates pres ent ho would have drowned. After coming out of the water his arms and body commenced to swell until tbe boy presented an “inhuman” appearance. Physicians wore summoned, who were at a loss to know the cause of the boy's peculiar co idition, but supposed that in some way came in contact with something poisonous. The sufferer continued to grow worse uutil death relieved him of his pains, which were Very severe. Gumming Clarion: On Wednesday of last week a dreadful accident happened to Joseph R. Rogers, son of Capt. R. N. Rog ers ot Milton county. Joe was hauling cot ton seed with two mules. In trying to turn the \yagon to drive into the lot, a wheel struck a bee gum which excited the bees, tbe gum being turned over so it became a fight for life of the young man and the mules. He could have saved himself by forsaking the mules, and really came near losing hfs own life to save theirs. He extricated the mules so as get them and the v agon oat of the position they were in, drove half a mile to get a position opposite from the bee gum, but one mole was so overcome by the stings that it sank exhausted before the lot was reached, and has since died. Young Mr. Rogers has been under treatmonc of two physicians and is now some bettor. It is thought the other mule will die. Whigham Advance: The original of the followiug letter was shown to us a few days by Mr. (3. B. Trulock, the president of the Whigham Manufacturing Company. It has been well preserved, having been kept in the Trulock family Bible for more than a half century, and shows that there was ex citing times in those days: “Sunday, June 12, 1830. —Dear Sir— Ad exprifts arrived at Bainbridge yesterday stating that there was a large body of Indians on this side of Chattahoochee river, on their way to Florida, and that a party of whites from Stewart and Sumter coun ties (on their way to join the army) w hich fell iu with the Indians and was drawn into ambuscade by only a few Indians showing themselves. Twenty-seven whites were killed. There is to boa meeting In Bain bridge to-day for tbe purpose of concerting some plan ot safety. Capt. Lester wont on yesterday evening as au express to Thomus ville and to try to get volunteers. Yours, etc., William Powell. To Mr. S. H. Tiu'- lock.” Jefferson Herald: John Fowler informed us Wednesday morning that a watermelon iu Ills patch is performing strange freaks. While he and Jim Jackson were in the patch Tuesday evening they heard a noise which sounded like a serpent’s hissing or violent seething of a pot of hot soap. Upon investigation they found that the noise proceeded from the interior of a large watermelon. Jim took hold of the melon, and let go again. He says “it was as hot os a pot of b’ilen’ coliards.” Thinking that the fires of perdi tion were sprouting out ueneatb, he turned it over with his foot, but found the ground solid beneath. The melon continued to boil and was so hot they could scarcely touch it. Tbe noise could be heard fifty yards away. While Jim Jackson is never afraid to tackle anything that is hot, his courage failed him completely in this dire extremity, aud he was afraid to open the melon. John Fowler urged him to stick his knife in it, but ho 6aid he was “afraid the dunged thing would squirt out and scald him.” 80 they let it alone, and tbe impenetrable mystery of this ■watermelon's interior works is the problem w hich agitate* Clarkesborough district from center to circumference. Hartwell Sun: Friday afternoon a week ago, two gentlemen ot Hart county, whose veracity is unquestioned, Ed If. Adams and Thad Kobinson, had a wonderful ex perience. They went down to the mouth of Powderbag creek, where it empties mto tbe Savannau river. When thev arrived on the bank they noticed the water, >whicti is uusually eddy, was in great commotion, but they bnrdljf gave it a thougut until Mr. Adazus started to step in with the seine, when, just in front of him, do) more than ten feet away, there suddenly arose from the water a frightful looking monster of enormous pro per ions. With ter ible contortions and lashing of the water it made its wav with incredible swiftness into ttie deep waters of the river, where |t *ank out of sight,leaving the two men transfixed with terror and amazement. Mr. Adams says the mouster was fully forty feet long and had the color of a sea-lion. It had a large, round head, with one eye in the center as large as a base ball. Its body was as large as a barrel, tapering down gradually into tail. Mr. Adams says it bad one short, thick leg that it exhibited wben it first arose, but be could not tell whether or not it had any more. It had prodigious strength, und with its huge tail moved large logs like reeds. John bone says he has seen aometbing in that neigh - borhood spouting up streams of water as big us his leg and eight feel high, but he sould never get close enough to see what it was. Atheus Banner ' A magnificent oak | stands in fror.t of the reaidenoe of Maj. j Stanley, and it seems to stand straighter ' and bold its head more highly ind proudly, as if it knew that it tanked above tne com mon trees of the world, which are the Slav a of humans, and can he cut down and burned at the will of their owne.s. This majestic <ak cannot be touched against iu will, but tne trouble is to ascertain what its will may be. And who Is to be the judge of whether it is tiling to be cut down rr not! | It is a peculiar case The facts as told us are I these: Way back in the first part of f this century the land containing tLe tree and that" taking in a good part of the vicinity was owned by Col. W. H. Jack son. 001. Jackson hod watched the tree grow from his childhood, and grew to love it aim *t as he would a human. He came to the conclusion that the only way to he sure of its protection from the ax of the un sparing woodsman was to allow it to be come its own master. And this he did. Going to the court hotise he had there re c->rded a deed, from which the followiug is an extract: “I, W. H. Jackson, of the county of Oiarke, of the one part, and the oak tree (giving location) of the county of Clarke of the other part, wituesseth: That the said W. H. Jackson.for and iu con sideration of the great affection which he bears said tree, and nls great desire to see it protected, has eonvered, aud by these presents do convey unto tho said oak tree entire possession of itself and of all land within eight feet of it on ul 1 sides.’’ The transaction certainly took place, for the di-ed recorded in the boon of records speaks for itself. As it is now no one cares how the poiut would be decided if carried to law, a9 nobody would be benefited. FLORIDA. Coffins were sold at auction in Bartow Monday. A pension ban been granted to Ann, widow of Maeajab Mobley, of Godwin. B. F. Holland announces himself as a candidate for re-election as treasurer of Polk county.

Titusville Star: All the road commis sioners in this county have resigned. It required about ail of the road fund to pay their salaries, leaving very little to bo expended on the roads. In consequence of this tho county commissioners decided to withhold appointing again until after the next session uf the leg! -latum, hoping the law relating to roads would be changed. Butler Reotf, a colored minister of Cocoa, has received the following letter: "Butler Heed—You have staid In Cocoa long enough. Take my advice and leave at once or you will disappear like your mules did. Two woeks is long enough for you in Cocoa. That gives you time enough to oloso your business out uud leave.

Au elder sister of Mabel Millard saw them dis appear, and frantically called for assistance, at the same tiino running to their help. Khe succeeded iu catching her sister jus. as she was sinking for tho iast time, and drew her from the water, but Grace Murdea sauk liefore assistance reached her. Men who were working near by came as quickly as they could get there, and dove into the water, but it was half an hour before they succeeded in finding the body, and all efforts at resuscitation failed. Jacksonville Times-Union: At the un dertaking establishment of Charles A. Clark, yesterday afternoon, a strange monstrosity was being embalmed. It was a pig, with a head fearful to behold. Instead of a nose, a trunk like an elephant’s, an inoh long, hung over, The chin was formed like that of a human being, with a mouth and tongue also like a child. The ears were shaped like those of an elephant, aud the eye* were large and with nothing to separate them. Tho forhead was higa, aud the whole appoaraueo wa* hideously strange. The body was formed all right, aud the hoofs aud tail were natural. This freak was born on E. A.

New York Central has had no trouble with its employes for a long time, and while the officials give expressions to no fear in anyway, the inference that the trouble must be deep-seated and would rob abiy extend to other roads was made free use of by the bears, in order to frighten out weak holders, aud in the absence of support stocks were offered down rapidly, with the result of leaving the entire list materially lower than last evening, and the declines sustain© i were on an averag • larger than on any full day for a long time The bank statement was if anything worse than was expected, the surplus being almost entirely wiped out, coming down from $5.859, MO to only $1,286,000.
