A wild-cat of large dimensions and pecu liar color was seeu at dusk in the vicinity of the old fair grounds at Athens Thursday. It was ohased by sever and parties for some distance, but on acoount of darkness they were forced to abandon the chase.

C. H. Peacock gets the mercantile business in Eastman ami E. J. gets the turpentine business. Their several plantations were equally divided. The Griffin correspondent of the Colum bus Enquirer thus alludes to the embarrass ing situation in which a young man in Griffin finds himself: ‘‘A Griffin ycung man is in trouble. Some days ago a young lady friend applied to him for the loan of his valise, which was re turned promptly after being used by her. Imagine his bewilderment when it was opened. It was not empty. It contained a lot of white wearing apparel, which the young man can neither name or wear.” Anierious Recorder: There was found in an old store room above Rylauder’s store Friday a strange freak in a jar of alcohol. The jar has been laying around up there for many years, and who put it there no one knows. Yesterday in cleaning up it was opened, and inside was found a strange freak. Exactly wbat it is no one can teU. A face like a child's, blue eyes, a pair of tusks, and a fully developed snout, make up a peculiar combination. The cars are long like a dog’s. The feet also resemble dog feet. During the month of December Mr. Boyd of Troup county employed a boy to cut down one of the giant oak* in the grove at bis place, known as the Cline place, for fire wood, In the center of the tree about four feet from the ground was found a f esh hen’s egg, embedded in the solid wood.there being no hollow or hole of any kind that the eyes of the astonished beholders oould discern for any one to place the egg—only space enough to hold it, as a bullet mould holds the bullet when closed. The tree was a little dotted arouod the egg. A. J. Ratterree of Haralson county was sentenced for ten years for assault toinur der. He has served all his sentence. His time was up yesterday. Ratterree, who was a confederate soldier, has been exceedingly anxious to be restored, by pardon, to the rights of citizenship. Interested in his case, Supt. William O. Reese wrote to Col.

A1 Hoscy, ar.otfce. of tr.e lot, baa been arrested, but no reward ie claimed for him, as he was captured in Georgia. Crawford Herald: A novel thing is re ported to the Herald by a gentlemen who lives rear Edwards & Arnold's mill above Crawford. Two negro men were iu that (section during the holidays from Atlanta, and they found two dusky damsels who th y lissi very much, and they stole them few the wives of their *ons who live in At lanta. The women stolen wero the wives of other darkies in this county. They were dispatched to the city, and the sonsreoeivod the stolen property as Christmas presents from their fathers. We guess the wifeless mou who were left behind are glad to get rid of such as could be stolen that wav. Atlanta Journal: James G. Murphy showed me at the Kimbail the flag of the Fourth Georgia regiment. This was Geu. Fail Cook's old command. Mr. Murphy was the ensign, ar.d earned this flag iu many a fight It is tattered and torn arid spotted with age, but every ragged edge symbols some brave dead; every blurred star s une glorious victory; every Bpot some tearful memory! Tu is is the same flag which Mrs. Gen. Dooly hid iu the curb of a well at Milledgevllle when Sherman made his march through Georgia. He didn’t got the honored tanner, but the state of Ge rgia will, for Mr. Murphy tells me that he is goiug to present it to Gov. Northern Americas Recorder: A dead boat, sharper or something of the sort tried to do up Luther Bell yesterday, and got badly left. Mr. Bell is with Thornton Wheatley s clothing establishment, as is well known, and yesierday morning a couple of men en tered, one oi whom asked to look at soma boys’ pant*. Mr. Dell, iu his u>ual graceful manner, showed the men back, succeeded in selling a pair of pants, which he was told to wrap up. This lie did, and the man then wanted a bat After trying oil several lie decided to take one, anil, laying his old one on the package wrapped up for him, told Mr. Bell to keep them for him a little while until ho got the money for hi* cotton. It was a slick scheme to got anew hat, and nearly any clerk would have been caught. But it didn’t work in this oase. Mr. Bell told him It wouldn’t jfo; that he didn’t do busiues* that way. The man Hired up a little and said he guoael he would trade somewhere else, which be was told that he could do. As lie and bis friend went down the street be laughed, and turning to bis eimpnnion said that was the first time he ever got left on the trick. The triple oak, as it is generally known, located ou Duel Island, in the Savannah river, near Hartwell, was struck by light ning Wednesday, and shattered to pieces. The tree is oue with a history. It w as under the shade of this that Benjamin F. Ferry and Bynum fought a duel over a half cen tury ago. It was in the days of nullifica tion, in 1832, when [Killties -were stormy aud party spirit ran high. Perry was a stanch unionist and Bynum was a fiery nullifier. The latter grossly insulted Perry, and in obedience to the custom that then prevailed. Perry had to challenge him or suffer disgrace at the bar of public opinion. At the day appointed they met on the island, each with his pistol mid coffee. By num was an expert shot, and it was confidently believed that Perry would bite the dust at the crack of his pistol. They fought at ten paces. At the word Perry fired fii Bt. Bynum then fired and bis ball tore a bole through Perry’s coat breast, exposing the red lining. Col. Huger, who was present aud near Bynum, ex claimed: "He’s got it,” aud Bynum replied: “I have too.” Bynum’s bill hit exactly whore he bad told his friends it would, but Perry's coat was a very loon fit, and the bullet grazed the skin, leaving a blue streak ai r ss his body. Perry’s ball went through Bynum’s thigh, cutting the main artery, and the poor fellow bled to death. He was carried to a house on the place now owned by Mr. Price, and tho blood tains from his ound were visible on the coiling when tne house was corn down last year. His re mains were interred at tho old stone church three miles from Pendleton. FLORIDA. New Irish potatoes are iu the market at Bartow, J. 1L Crosier hna been appointed attorney tor the oity of Bartow, , It is said that the development of the phosphates mines in the vicinity of Albion will commence in u few weeks. Sneak thieves secured SIOO worth of clothing in the store of McLarty Bros. & Chittenden, at Palatka, Thursday night. A curious freak of nature is possessed by H. P. Bussey of Orlando in the shape of a perfect blossom upon the end of an orange treo thorn. Charles 8. Winters, the oldest son of Mr. nod Mrs. Charles J. Winters, died at their home at De Laud Tuesday afternoon at the age of thirty-seven years. The largest train load of wood that ever came to Ht. Augustine for the trade was brought in Wednesday morning for the feed and fuel company. There wero ten cars, containing eighty cord*. Tho bond was filled out Tuesday after noou to secure the arms from the state for the Indian River Guards. Assoon as tba bond it approve i by the c unty Judge tho rides will be ordered from the state capitol. George M. Cline of Lake City has re* oeived au appointment on the United States geological survey corps and left Wednesday to join a detachment of the corps now oper ating Florida and located for the nonce in Gainesville. The hunters and trappers around Ktssiin mea are meeting with success, aud are bringing large quantities of furs and hides to that market. On Monday L. P. Hughey, one of the merchants there, bought #1,50(1 worth from them. John R. Taylor of Palatka, while hunting Thursday iu the neighborhood of Francis, had his leg shattered just above the ankle, by the accidental discharge of his gun, caused by stumbling and failing. Amputa tion was unavoidable. Capt. Joe Smith of Titusville says that Indian river oysters are scarce and hard to get this season. The extremely low water last summer, he thinks, has killed out many of tho oyster beds. Those secured so far this season are small but good, and will be at their best next season. Mrs. J. V. Stewart of Lake City had stolen from heron Christmas morning a (l ie young colt 1$ mouths old, and on Tuesday a young colored boy named Parnell was brought in and lodged in jail for the offense. He had carried the oolt over in Suwannee county and sold it for $35. Cbipley Times: Tho two ginneries in this place have ginned 150 bales more cotton this year than last, notwithstanding the fact that the water gins contiguous to this section were anabied to gin m ire the pas: seasjn then heretofore on account of abund ance of rain during the season. Although the ootton orop was short the past year, there is an increase in the production of almost 50 per cent. Key West Equator: Burglars tried to enter the auction house of Cash & Curry between 9 and 10 o'clock Monday night by boring holes in the side of the house just where the safe stands. They had succeeded in boring a couple of holes, when they wero driven away by Wolf Hayinan, who rooms upstair* over tne adjoining building. Mr. Haymau beard the noise and went to his back window ar.d fired his pistol at one of them, whom he could see at work with an auger, when he saw one of the would-be burglars running off. Tuesday morning a negro bv the name of James Butler sont for Dr. J. B. Malonov to come aud cut a bullet from his leg. Tne negro claims that he was accidentally shot but night while alkmg along one of the streets. But circumstances point strongly to the fact that he was the burglar whom Mr. Hayinan shot at, and he was at once placed under arrest, aud will doubtless be convicted, as we understand other stroug evidence is rapidly being accummulated against him.

There are hundreds of queer myths and traditions given to account for the fact that the sea is salt. The Arabs say that when the first pair sinned they were living in a beautiful garden on a tract of laud joined to to a mainland by a narrow neck or lsth raus. When it became known to the Holy One that his people had sinned he went to the garden for the purpsse of driving them out and across the narrow neck of land into the patch of thorns and brambles on tha other side. Anticipating what would be the consequence of their heinous crime, they had prepared to leave thslr beautiful garden, and had actually gone so far as to send the children and the goats across into ths thicket. When the Holy One appeared on the scene the first pair to started to run, bul the woman looked back. For this the man cursed her, aud for such a crime was almost immediately turned into a huge block ol salt. [Compare with Oenoste, xix., 26. j The woman, more forgiving than her hug. band, stooped to pick up the shapeless mass of salt, when immediately the narrow neck of land begau to crack aud break. As she touched what had once been her companion she. too, was turned to salt just as tbe neck of land sank and the waters rushed through. From that day to this, tho Arabs say, all the waters of the ocean have rushed through that nar row channel at least once a year, constantly wearing away the salt of what was once on* first parents, yet tho bulk of the two salty objects is not diminished in the least. The Pythagoreans believed that the *ea was made salty by the tears of Krone, fatuer of Zeus. The Hebrew explanation is somewhat similar, though more poetic. They believe that the saltiness was caused by tbe tears of fallen angels.
