We learn that a few days ago
Messrs Osborn and Henry, travel¬
ing agents for the range stove,
drove their team into Coosawattee,
near Cartels store, and not know¬
ing the ford got into the suck-hole
where so many fatal accidents have
occurred. After a fearful scene of
several minutes, some men came
to their aid and they were brought
ashore almost exhausted, but in
scramble one of their mules was
drowned.
On last Wednesday morning a
woman by the name ot Cornet,
carrying a mulatto male child about
eight months old, came to Mr.
George Smith's, living near Wood
awn, and hired to him to work on
the farm She took the child with
ler to the field, and being tired,
we suppose, of her dusky offspring
abandoned the child about ten
oclock leaving him alone in the
field, wl ere he was found by Mrs.
Elizabeth Morgan, who on the fol¬
lowing day brought him to the Or¬
dinary. The child was lmmediate
y taken to the poor house. The
whereabouts of woman is yet un¬
known.
Oapt W W Giddens, says: That
on last Saturday night between
the hours often and twelve o’clock
alter he bad lallen upon his couch
of repose, some strane noise was
heard at the gate calling to see
nim- Mrs. Giddens who had not
yet retired, went to the door and
soon discovered that it was a ne
gi o who had been hired to Mr. Lee
Galt. The'negro said he would
like to hear some mnsic on the pi¬
ano, but the good lady thinking
it rather an untimely hour for the
sentiment of a dusky being to be
so wide a wake, rather hesitated
but finally cosen ted to gratify the
late visitor’s novel request. Again
the mingling of voices about the
gate attracted the Captain’s atten
tion. he arose and mustered up
some firearms and the darkey in
company with four or live others
who seemed to be waiting
double quicked off up the road.
A Bold Robery
gaturday eve last, as the sun
disappeared in.the west, represen
tatives oi different mountain clans
together with this wri ter could have
been seen climbing a rough, steep
ridge that is perhaps a cousin to
the solemn old Fort Mountain. Ar
med with axes, torch pine, bucket,
beegum, you may very intelligent
ly suppose our intention was
capture an army of bees who
of domestic life, had betook them¬
selves to the highlands. Bees had
been seen in large numbers enter¬
ing the tree, and of course had
deposited honey enough to satisfy
the cravings of the hungry, gath
ing troop. The axmen began their
work and soon the stately monarch
of the forest began to tremble—a
picture ot anxiety and curiosity
spread over several faces. Soon
with thundering crash the monarch
fell from his throne, and the honey
seekers made a rash for that part
of the tree entered by the bees,
and after anxious search failed to
find the honey; and no reward for
perspiration producing toil, slowly
wended their way back to the gen
era! rendezvous, and getting a con
siderable supply of courage, they
beseiged and oaptured a full
at John Gregory’s so that by
severance the goal was reached
enemy captured and the spoils en¬
joyed. If at first you don‘t
ceed try, try, again.
In our town years ago there was
several whiskey shopa. Men had
bat little ironble to get a drink
provided they were in posession
of the coppers. It is not so much
the <jase now. An old darkey, who
was probably not a very* good
judge of human nature, Tuesday
approached a preacher who was
Standing in a house where liquor
was once sold, advancing in a crip¬
pled sort of style and with a pe¬
culiarly pitiful and humble peep
from his Bucken and unflasumg
eyes spoke of days that are passed
and for ever gone when spirits
could be bought anywhere aud as
he spoke a mist gathered in his
mouth corners, and looking plead,
ingly into the pieachers eyes said
Can ye please guv me a drink; the
reply elicited was: if I could do you
anv good spiritually I would glad¬
ly do so, but I have nothing to d 0
whatever, with whiskey, and a
cloud swept over the already sable
lace and he hobbled away, carrying
a look of woe-begone dissaisfactiou
satisfied no doubt in his own mind,
than the former times were better
than these.
