From Mr Louis Parker, a reliable
gentleman, wno came through Trion
Factory town oti Wednesday lost, we
learn that a terrible crime hut been
committed one mile from Trion Fac
tory. From him we gather the
following facts: Mr Ephraim Marsh,
un old man about sixty years old
(but in no wise related to the fumily
ol the Marshes connected with Trion
Fuctoiy), owus a large farm one
mile front the factory, and on his
place there is a store kept hy 11 F,
Roberson, a man who bus a wfs aud
two or three small children. Last
week Mr. Roberson left home for u
neigliboiiug town for the purpose uf
buying goods, expecting to be gone
several days. During It ia absence
old man Mursli, by some pretext or
other, prevailed on Mr. Roberson’s
littb eleven-year-old girl to go
down to the stable, which is a con
siderable distune.* from the store.
After they had both gone into the
stable, he told her wliat lie intended
doing, and said if she ever told any
one he would kill her, aud her father
aud mother. The little girl was over
corns by fright, and the old inau forci
bly committed a most hienous crim-
upon her. While the outrage vus
going on they w re discovered by a
young inau liv.ng on the place, aud
he informed some friends of it, bnt
they would not believ. it until the
little girl told her mother as soon us
her lather returned. Old man
Marsh remained in the neighbor

that I can convince him of his er

that I know ol) und if he convinces
me I will not uUmit it.
We ire having unotlier cold snap
tosduy , und judging from present in
dications, are likely to have u buck-
ward spring, which will be so much
the better for the ft nit crop. The
recent spell of lair and pleasant
weather gave the farmers nil oppor
(unity to do a good ueul of plowing,
and I think the most of them ini pro v
ed the time.
I went to Centre, our county seat,
the other day, for the first time. It
is about sixteen miles lront my resi
dence, which is one reason why I did
not visit the place sooner. It is rath
er an old looking town, but is high,
dry, clean und a pleasant place to live
in, I suppose. Superior court wus
in session, and un important murder
case being on hand, I f >und it diffi
cult to get a seat in the court room,
uud staved out of doors most of tho
time, while in town, listening to an
aciioneer, win was doing Ins best to
fie witty, uud to sell his goods, which
he declared had been stolen by hi3
agents iu New York and s -nt to
him to be disposed of. likely
he told the truth in a joke. There
whs a urge crowd on the streets and
in t e court house, but only occa
sionally did I meet with one that I
knew or that knew me. At the ho
tel I formed the acquaintance of Col.
Cooper, who for a long time has been
one of the most prominent lawyers
in North Alabama. He was origi
nal ly from Pendleton, b. C., and
those who lived in that village and
district forty or fifty years ago, will
remember him. Much of the coun
try between where I live and Centre
lies well and produces finely. It ia
Georgians continue, from year to
year, to come in ‘to possess the land,’
and there is a section of country east
of Centre called "New Georgia,” be
cause of it being settled principally
by people from that state. My neigh*
bor, Estes, said to me the other day
that another crowd ol Georgians had
moved into the neighborhood. ‘Well/
said I, "what is Walt Fry going to
do about it?’’ "Oh,” replied he,
"Walt hits done turned oner on your
side.” Walt is tlie man who said
that a white man would soon have no
chance here if so many Georgians
did not quit coining.
It is natural I suppose for almost
every one to have a partiality for the
land of his nativity, associated as it
is with his earliest and best friends,
uud with what the most of persons
deem their happiest days. The jioet
Scott suys:
"Lives there a man with soul so dead,
Who to himself hath never said,
•This is my own, tny native land.’ ”
In common with others, I reckon
I sometimes indulge patriotic feelings
und feel u little proud of tho fact
that I am a native Georgian, but, af
ter all, it was only an accident that
I wus born in that state, and I don’t
know that it is anything to boast of.

(From our regular correspondent.)
Nkw Yoiik, N. Y .March 12tli 1881.—
That all forms of property have felt the
effects of our great | rosperity is eriden
oe<l by the reports of the advance in tlie
rents of leal estate the increased activity
in the reni estnte market, and tho higher
prices which are obtained for purcels
that arc gold. It is not only in this city
und vicinity that these phenomena have
appeared, but the same is true in a great
er or lesser degree in many part* of Ihe
country. In Chicago, for instance, there
is an advance tu rents from fifteen to fif
ty per cent. Real estate was the last
form of property to suffer from the pan
ic. It Us been the lust to feel the effects
of returning prosperity. W/mt is called
a "boom" in real estate may not come
immediately, but it is highly iinpiobabl-
that the prices of all forms of comuiodi
ties should increase and the price ot real
,gtata remain stationary, ami that mouey
should seek Investment withuut inves
tors finally turning their attention to the
direction of real estate.
Americans do not sufficiently realize or
appreciate the freedom granted the pub
lic by their betels. The American land
lord throws open his ‘office’ to tne crowd.
The ‘-office’’ is simply a great Iiall in
which any decently dressed and decently
behaved person may enter. In New
York the grand centie and depot for the
meeting of public men fi>r informal cau
cus nnd discussion and for see'ng the
travelling and local world of notoriety
is the Fifth Avenuo Hotel. It is the
public social centre of the city. Drop
in for a few minutes and let us see whom
wo may. Yonder is Congressmen Towns
end, of Ohio. Near him Congressman
Rice, of .Vxstftchsetts. Near by, Colo-
n l 3/cComb, a railway magnate of Dele-
ware, a gentleman in appearance of the
modernized old school, who might pi
an enormous
breadth of shoulder and a flowing sandy
beard, is the ex-Confederate General
Sterling Price. Four men who belong
in public seen in less than five minutes.
On leaving the hotel I met Manager 611-
lig, of tho American Exchange in Eu
rope (who, by the way, was, like thereat
of world, going to Washington), and
asked him about the truth of a tumor
that the Exchange waa to set afloat pal*
ace steamers which should carry neither
cattle nor emigrants. He think* there la
a demand for such a line of steamers, and
though tho Fxchange does not care to
enter into such an enterprise, yet Mr.
Oillig any a the public must have what it
wants. Z.ucky public? You may expect
anything in your stateroom from a silver
foot-bath to a point-lace night-cap, and
nnyth-ng on the hill of fare short of orto-
lang eggs or a slice of cold missionary.
Just now the Exchange has its hands full
of circular notes, accompanied by letters
of identification. The note* are backed
by United Htates bonds, and the holder
will find them as good os the money of
the country wherever presented- It is
really tho introduction of a system of in
ternational currency which is bound to
grow as we become more intimate with
our coirtins on the other side, and espe
cially as the ladies take to visiting alons.
or several years the Exchange has play
ed a part of social providence to babea
in the woods who would get lost, and it
continually ldcieasing in efficiency.
General Joseph II. Hawley waa chosen

Grant and Parson Newman havo turn
ed another corner, and arc new trying
again to galvanize the World's Fair
scheme into life. The ungodly aay that
the ex President and lilt father confessor
have been promiaed a large block of
stock if they will stick to the ship. Grant
will do it on three conditions, especially
as he now desires to float hia Mexican
railway scheme successfully and get his
United BUtes National bank fairly es
tablished. There’s millions in the Mex
ican job,and Grant lias tho right sort of
men helping him in it. Some of his
friends say that when he goes back to
Washington as President, in 1885, he
will bo tlie richest man there.
A bill has passed In the Albany Leg
islature this week requiring that tho uae
of Arc escapes and the ert of swimming
be taught to children in schools; Such
legislation indicates that common sense is
slowly permeating tlie minds of our law
makers. The naUtoriumt or swimming
eoltools which were established here du
ring the last two summers did a good
work, though they were crude in appoint
meets. But while the art of swimming
is a good thing it is to be hoped that the
streets of New York will not often bo
as they were a dozen times d tring the
winter just past, when it was no unusu-
ul thing to soo a waif standing on thu
aurbatoue looking across tho waste of
waters, evidently propounding a mental
conundrum whether to sink or swim, and
finally giving It up in favor of wading,
rite law in question is an indirect recog
nition ot the fact that we ora n travelling

The Atlanta Post Appeal states
thut a few nights ago Miss Hattie
Smith, u young miss of thirteen or
fourteen years of nge, who resides on
Cooper street, in that eity, went
to the well to draw a bucket of wa
ter. When she got to tho well she
found the well-rope bad got off the
wheel some way, and she stepped up
on tlie welNcurb to replace the rope.
As Hue did so her foot slipped and
she was precipituted into the well
forty feet below. Fortunately there
was a colored woman standing near by
when the ncoident happened who
gave the alurm, and efforts were at
once made to rescue the poor girl at
the bottom of the well. She main
tained a noble presence of mind and
clung to the well-rope uutil assist*
ance came from above. Hattie de
scended the well feet first aud got
pretty badly shook up in the descent,
having one of her ankles broken in
two places. Her escape front death
was something marvelous, fc/he re
mained in the well nearly fifteen
minutes before she waa rescued from
her perilous position.
