—brother Grubb oi tlie Darien Ga
zette paid u« a pop -call last Monday,
We don’t believe he is sorry “worth a
cent" having married a wife.
—A dog kennel was built here last
week and carried North, with the fol
lowing inscription thereon: “Beware
of the dog.” How suggestive!
—Tho underbrush in front of Mr.
Habersham’s new residence has near
ly all been cleared away. Catch the
spirit, property holders.
—One “professor” and two wander
ing musicians visited our town last
week. The former we should think a
benefit; the other, a nuisance.
—Under the head of improvements
we notice this week a new building
going up near Putnam’s stable, to be
occupied by Col. A. J. Smith as an
office.
—That was indeed a considerate an
imal that upset conductors Taylor and
Sharp out of the buggy last week.
She knew locals were scarce. No lives
were lost, fortunately, and but little
damage done to the vehicle.
—Judging from number of vessels
around Cook Bros.’ wharves for the
last week or two, we conclude that
their N. Y. agent must be a live man
to secure so many orders these tight
times. May they prosper.
> —Somersaulting was practiced to
perfection by some of the folks at the
B. & A. R. R. “smash up” last week.
Professionals stood nowhere when
compared with these.) The embank
ment was only 21 feet high.
—The city wants 100 brass badges
for dogs. Bids will be received there
for until noon, 22d inst. We will tell
anyone just how to word his bid to be
sure to get it, if he promises not to
tell how he learned it.
—Now that tho cemetery is in nice
order and the gates all fixed, we would
suggest that notices be placed at each,
requesting visitors to keep them shut.
Our sexton is talking about putting up
an arched entrance on the front side.
A good idea.
—Dixville is in luck ac last. Four
John Chinamen und one little color
ed offender, all members of the con.
viet force, are on that ditch, and it is
indeed refreshing to behold how tho
mud does fly. Wade in, boys, you
are ou a glorious mission!
Just here it might not be amiss to
suggest the propriety of opening Lon
don street, or rather of finishing up
the work through the pond now being
drained, thus rendering the locality
more healthy, and at. the same time
giving the people of Tiixviiie at leas*
one street. As it is, they have only a
twelve foot communication with the
inner world by way of George street-
There is now on tlpe minutes of Coun
cil (four years back) an order to com
plete the work on this street. Come,
Mr. Chairman, hunt up the order, and
finish up the job. Four long years
they have waited.

—As
we hear of a
rumor tojfcjE effect that a change will
soon be made in the leaving time of
trains on M. & B. R. R., going out at
11:30 at night.
—Elder Weston, the Second-Ad
ventist, preached to qnite a number of
our citizens ou Sabbath and also on
Monday night, touching the peculiar
doctrines of his church.
—City Taxes are to be paid in this
year by the following uoys: 1st qnar-
ter, April 15tli; 2nd, June lfith; 3d,
Aug. 15th; and 4th. Oet. 18th. Books
now open for returns. Tax to be lev
ied for the year, one per cent.
Right here we would snggest that
all persons be compelled to pay their
taxe3 promptly as per above dates, and
none allowed this privilege or that.
—The city council has passed a dog
ordinance,, recently, that will reach
every “purp” in town/ Everyman is
required to take an oath that neither
he nor anyone else on his premises
keeps a dog, or else pay $1.50 for ev
ery one kept Result—Plent
to give away. Query—I
council the power to pt
who keeps his dog in his <
ure and fails to “return” i
savors of oppression.

—We hear niKT TfL.JHaints con
cerning the recenrissue of B. & A. K.
R. bills, on account of their resem
blance to the former—now worthless
issue. Some unprincipled persons are
circulating the worthless bills among
the more ignorant portion of our com
munity. We hold the B. & A. B. R.
Company committed a gross error in
issuing new bills so similar to the old,
whereby many of the people are im
posed upon, and the Company should
close this door to fraud by calling in
the present issue and, if they must
have a circulating medium, pnttiug
out new bills entirely dissimilar from
the old.
f
—Jake Dean and Cash Jones (both
colored), laborers at Cook’s mill, were
playing with each other last Thursday
night, when Dean drew a pistol and
pnnehed Jones m the side. From
some unknown cause, the pistol fired
sendiug the bullet into him. Jones*
died m a few hours.

—Mr. Win. Bart and Miss Cordell*
Gray, all at this ciiy, were matrind
last Sabbath night at the Methodist
Church by Rev. J. W. Eymmoiis.
And now as we go to press, we im
agine we hear of preparation for still
another marriage. Hurrah for the
girls and leap year!
—An odd character, a negro, was
arrested in our town a few days since,
who represents himself rb a doctor of
great pow er, being able, by some mys
terious agency, to work wondera such
as making the two races love each oth
er and marry, giving power to person*
to escape from jail, etc. One powpr lie
evidently does possess, nnd that in to
take other people’s money, for the ex
ercise of which power he has been ar
raigned. His medicinal budget con
sists of thtee rabbit feet, a little wad
of cotton, another of wool, a paper of
powder of some k‘nl, besides n few vi
als of stuff, and other little tricks.
With these aids he claims his power is
irresistable.
Later—His Dootorship was brought
before Judge Houston yesterday mor
ning for trial, but was set at liberty,
there being no proof to show that be
stole the money in question, but re.
ceived it as pay for wonders that he
had agreed to perform. He was ad
vised to leave town at an early day.
Accident.—As the passenger train
on the B. & A. R. R. was leaving Way
Cross one day last week, from soma
unknown canse, a box oar, about mid.
way the tr&in, quit the track and cau
sed qnite a “smash up,” resulting in
the destruction of a culvert and thre*
box cars, besides damage done to a
fourth. The baggage and passenger
cars kept the track. The freight in
the earn destroyed, being naval stores
mostly, sustained very little injury f
wb learn. A word of special commen
dation is due to train hand Alf. Jack-
son. He was at his p03t at the break
to the passenger conch when the acci
dent occurred, and so well preserved
his presence of mind that be uncou
pled the passenger coach from the
others, made fast his break, and then
leaped from the train, having done all
in life power to save others. That
hreakman deserves u reward. We ure
pleased to state that no lives were
lost. The track has been repaired,
and trains are running regularly
again.
