by the physicians here, who prophesy a
brilliant future for him. He has shown
me some of the operations he has per
formed at Believieu Hospital and they
certainly are wonderful. They were in
gynecology. I think he bids fair to

Constitutionalist last week in connec

day tefore Judge Claiborne Snead, of
the County Court. After able argu
ments: by Walter H. Levy, Esq., Coun
ty Solicitor, for the State, and H. Clay
Foster, Esq., for the defense, Judge
Snead decided that the offense of lar
ceny from the house may be commit
ted by a person entering the house of
another and privately stealing there
from, no matter with what intent he en
tered. He therefore rendered a judge
ment of guilty, aud sentenced the de
fendant to twelve months’ labor on the
chain gang. Mr. Foster excepted to
the judgement aud rulings of the Court
and gave notice that he would carry
the case up by writ of certiorari.

DEATH OF A CONVICT.
Coroner’s Inquest—Testimony in Full
—J ury’a Verdict.
A report vvas current in the city yes
terday morning that a negro had died at
Mr. Dennis Hallahan’s brickyard, aud
that his death had been caused by bad
treatment and whipping. It created
considerable talk, and especially got
up a stir among the easily excited
darkies.
The following communication was re
ceived by our efficient Coroner Kunze :
To the Coroner of Richmond County:
Sir—l have the honor respectfully to re
quest that an examination be had of the
body of my brother, who. it is alleged, died
this a. m. from a congestive chill, but whose
external appearance seems to indicate that
lie died by violence at the hands of Dennis
Hallahan, by whom the deceased, William.
Boyce, was detained.
Respectfully,
.John B. Chew.
Augusta, July 19th, 1875.
Yielding to this request a jury was
summoned,and Coroner Kunze held an
inquest over the body of the convict,
Boyce, yesterday afternoou, the corpse
having been brought in from the brick
yard and laid out in a house on Pig
Tail Alley, between Cumming and Kol
lock streets. The testimony elicited at
the investigation was as follows :
TESTIMONY.
BF. Olive, white, sworn: lam guard at
Hall iban’s; last Friday Boyce came to my
side of the yard and said he was broken
down; he asked to go in the ditch and
wash off; did so aud went back under the
shed; I was on duty at the barracks Sun
day; his brother came in the afternoon
anil sent some refreshments to him; Rut
ledge Wilson, who waits on the sick, asked
Mr. Hallahan if it would hurt Lowe
(alias Boyce) to eat watermelon; Hallahan
said he didn’t think it would; when I
locked up the convicts (that night), they
had to tote Lowe into the house ; I saw him
no more till this morning; William John
son, the night watchman, hollowed to me
and said he believed Lowe was dead; I and
two men went in; he was dying; Mr. Dal
-1 Allan has physicians to attend bad cases;
didn’t consider this a bad case; saw Mr.
Bettsell whip Boyce with some little
switches last Tuesday or Wednesday; can’t
account for the bruises on his person;
never knesv him to receive but the one
whipping; didn’t consider that severe; it
was Thursday or,Kriday that he complained
about giving way in his knees.
Dr. Ldw. Beddings, sworn: I have just
examined the body caiefully; I fin l no
signs of violence whatever about the head
or neck; on the upper portion of the chest
there are several small marks made bv a
sharp instrument not penetrating the skin
and already partially healed; I should
deem them about a week old; on the back
there are parallel marks inflicted by a
small lash or switch; these lashes are ap
parently four or five days old; about the
knees aud legs are several recent bruises;
in my opinion the marks about the body do
not warrant the assumption that he died
from violence; I therefore do not deem it
necessary to open the body.
John L. Chew, colored, sworn: I am
the brother of the decersed; I heard he was
sick; lie sent me word to carry him a wa
termelon and some ice; 1 carried them
yesterday; 1 didn’t see him; I saw him
bruised up so, I wanted to know the cause
of it before I buried him; he had been over
two months at the brickyard.
The jury returned a verdict as fol
lows :
VERDICT.
We. the jury, find that the deceased came
to his death from providential causes, and
not from violence.
Frank Smyth, Foreman.
While this verdict was based upon
the foregoing testimony, which was all
that was delivered upon the inquisition,
and indeed all that was essential, out
side information conveyed a more def
inite idea of the exact “providential
causes” which led to the death
of Boyce. He had been sick
with chilis, and by this disease
had become reduced in physical
strength. On Sunday his brother
brought him a watermelon and some
ice, both of which he used, and in his
state of health both weie vastly injuri
ous. The inevitable result of eating
watermelon and drinking copiously of
ice water, under the circumstances,
was inflammation of the bowels aud
consequent congestion, and it was un
doubtedly the latter which was the im
mediate cause of Boyce’s death. So
perfectly satisfied was Dr. Geddiugs
that the convict had not died from vio
lence that he declined to open the body
or make any further examination than
as described in his testimony.
The negroes were not satisfied with
the inquisition and the verdict, insist
ing against all the facts and evidence
in the matter that Boyce had been
whipped to death. There never was bet
ter evidence of their near kinship to
moukies than this. Impelled by this
notion the body of Boyce was, we
learn, cut open* by their request last
night. It will at once strike the mind
as strange that anybody should look
inside for signs of violence that pro
duced death when no such exterior
signs were observable.
At the Coroner’s inquest quite a con
course of darkies, mostly women, gath
ered, and they seemed to enjoy the oc
casion greatly.
Found Drowned.
Coroner Kunze was called to hold in
quisition yesterday morning upon the
body of Mr. Henry W. Smith, watch
man at the Factory gates at the Canal
Basin.
But one witness was examined in the
case, a little boy named Willie Hopkins.
His testimony was as follows :
“I went into town about 7 o’clock ; I
stopped at my father’s shop about fif
teen minutes ; got back about half-past
9 o’clock ; when I went down I saw de
ceased’s bundle ; when I came back I
saw his shoes ; I went to the head of
the rack and saw deceased in the
water ; saw his hand and a portion of
his arm ; a part of his right leg was
out ; I called out, and Messrs. Clark
aud D’Antignac came over ; Mr. Holden
and Mr. Lahey pulled him out.”
The Coroner’s jury, of which Dr. B.
F. Halsonbake was foreman, returned a
verdict of death from accidental drown
ing.
Mr. Smith was watchman at the water
rack aud along the race to the Augusta
Factory, and while clearing the rack of
drift wood and trash fell into the canal
basin, and was at once carried under
by the strong current that runs through
the gate. He was quite an old man,
being about sixty-three.
Accident to a Little Boy.
During Sunday an unfortunate oc
currence happened on a street car as
it was turning on the curve from
Broad street into Lincoln.
A little boy named Martin Snelling,
the ten-year old son of Mr. James
Snelling, was taking a ride, and
being on the front platform as
the car was making the curve into Lin
coln street, jumped off to the left and
off side of the car with the design of
getting on again when the rear plat
form came up. In executing this inten
tion it so happened that after
jumping off the car he stumbled
and in falling both his feet
were thrown under the last wheel of
the coach and run over. Both were
badly cut and bruised, though no bones
were broken. The boy in no wise
blatnes the street car driver, for
it was utterly impossible for the
driver to have seen what happened
after he passed. Indeed, the first
knowledge the driver had of the acci
dent was gained from the wounded boy
himself, who after his feet were run
over got up, caught the passing car,
and after walking its length told the
driver he had beeu run over. Drs.
Doughty and Coleman were called to
the charge of the wounded boy.

Richmond Hussars—Election Last
Night.
The election to fill the vacancy in the

Subsequent to the business of the
election the members of the company
were invited to a punch served at Lieu
tenant Phil. L. Cohen’s residence, and
tendered by the newly promoted and
elected officers. It was prepared by
Mr. Pat Otis, and was worthy of the art
of that skillful mixologist. We are
indebted to the thoughtful remem
brance of Lieutenant Phil. Cohen and
Lieutenant Wilson for a bowl of the
elegant article, as well as for a pitcher
of iced lemonade for those in the Con
stitutionalist office who don’t look
upon the wine when it is red.
Come Back.
The brother of Mr. Thomas Galla
her, whose unexplained disappearance
was mentioned in a late issue of the
Constitutionalist, and for whom his
friends and brothers have been looking
since that unexpected event, was re
stored to his kius-people Sunday night.
All that day, search had been prose
cuted for the missing one, and at night
the three brothers were sitting on the
bridge over the river depressed and
disconsolate over the unknown and sad
fate of the lost one. After remaining
so awhile, their eyes were drawn to a
man who was approaching from the
Hamburg side. The person proved to
be their lost brother, Mr. Thos. Galla
her, who readily assented to going
home.
Mr. Gallaher says he went over into
Carolina and sought the woods, and
after a while—which was a very slight
while—concluded he had staid long
enough in leafy luxuriance and so
thought he would return home. He
will be closely guarded now, we war
rant.
Sun stroke.
The first case of sunstroke this sea
son in Augusta occurred yesterday af
ternoon. While Joe Jefferson, the col
ored driver of one of Heggie & Bro.’s
phsetans, was driving in a funeral pro
cession, he was stricken by the sun and
prostrated. He will recover.
A Double Danger Averted. —The in
habitant of a malarious region is
threatened by a double danger. He is
not only compelled to breathe miasma,
but to "swallow it, since it infects not
only the atmosphere, but the water.
The aerial poison.threatens his system
through the luugs and pores, the liquid
through the stomach. Against this
double peril there is but one protection,
and that is to invigorate the entire body
through the digestive and secretive
organs. Ordinary tonics usually fail to
accomplish this—Hostetter’s Stomach
Bitters never. Iu the tropics, where
the diseases originated by malaria are
of a far more malignant type than
those originated by the same cause in
the temperate zone, it enjoys immense
and constantly increasing sales, and
there is no portion of this continent
where it is not the reigning specific for
miasmatic fevers and disorders of tne
stomach, liver and bowels, proceeding
from malaria and other causes.

Becoming Known. —As it is becoming
known that Dr. Price’s True Flavoring
Extracts are riot made up from chemi
cal poisons, but natural flavors, delicate
and grateful to the most cultivated pal
ate, they are growing rapidly in popu
lar favor. The special recommenda
tion of Dr. Price’s Flavors is that
their purity is perfect, their strength
so much greater than other extracts,
while the bottles hold half more than
those purporting to contain same quan
tity. It is only necessary for a person
of pure and healthy tastes to try these
flavors and they will be convinced that
they are the finest, purest, and best fla
vorings for cakes, puddings, pies, etc.

JUNE WEATHER.
Monthly Review of Meteorological
Conditions.
We are indebted to Mr H. Bessant,
Signal Observer at this station, for a
copy of the Monthly Weather Review
for June, issued from the Chief Signal
Office at Washington City. The fol
lowing extracts will be found interest
ing;
The Review is compiled from data
furnished by 82 regular Signal Service
Observers, 12 Canadian Stations, 5
United States Army Surgeons, 1 Naval
Hospital, 259 Volunteer Observers of
the Signal Service, newspapers and
other records.
The chief characteristics of the
month’s meteorology have beeu : (1)
The immense masses of drift-ice and
the long-continued presence of icebergs
in the North Atlantic, greatly affecting
the weather in all the Atlantic States.
(2) The comparatively high barometer
m the Gulf and South Atlantic States.
(3) The low temperature iu the interior
of the country and the Northwest.—
(4) The number and violence of local
storms and tornadoes west of the Alle
ghanies. (5) Frequent frosts north of
Virginia about the middle of June,
which, in some localities, were seriously
felt by farmers.
Tornadoes arid severe local storms
were reported from various sections.
Among the most prominent of these
were the storms which visited Switzer
land county, Indiana, on the 2d and
21st; Wythe county, Virginia, on the
25th; St. Joseph county, Indiana, on
the Ist; Hardin county, Ohio, on the
2d; Adams county, Pennsylvania, on
the 29th; Indianapolis, on the Ist and
2d; Quincy, Illinois, on the 14th; St.
Louis, on the 18th; Omaha, Nebraska,
on the 17th; Chicago, on the 22d; Du
buque, lowa, on the 21st; North Platte,
Nebraska, on the 26th; Detroit, on the
27th; and Philadelphia, on the 28th.
The tornado at Detroit was one of
great violence and destructiveness in
and around that city. Its padi through
the city was nearly north or north
northeast. It was apparently unac
companied by electrical phenomena.
Its rate of progress was irregular,
sometimes appearing to stand still,
and again moviug with great velocity.
Its duration was estimated at from
three to five minutes, the length of its
track a little more than a mile, and its
width about one hundred and fifty feet.
The vorticose motion was from right to
left. It was first seen in the southwest
as an exceedingly dark mass, with a
violent whirling motion aud a fun
nel suspended from it of the
color of coal-smoke. In one or two lo
calities it was attended by torrential
rain, but generally it was a dry storm.
There was considerable loss of life in
its immediate vicinity ; many houses
were shattered beyond recognition.
This tornado was accompanied by
terrific roaring, hissing and rumbling
noises. It was preceded by hot and
very oppressive weather for the four
days previous. Three hours before its
fatal stroke, it was preceded by a
light shower of rain. The great out
burst of the storm commenced about
6:15 p. m. of the 27th. This violent me
teor was apparently not alone, but at
tended by others of minor importance
in the immediate vicinity.
Hailstorms.— A severe hail-storm was
reported from Bismarck, Dakota Ter
ritory, on the 23d, with stones from
one-ttiird to one-half inch in diameter ;
at Troy, Alabama, on the 12th ; at Mt.
Ida, Arkansas, on the 20th ; near De
troit on the 27th ; on the 2d, at Algona,
lowa, and on the 2d, 18th, 20th and
26th at Leroy, Kansas ;at Winchester,
Kentucky, on the 6th ; on the 12th, at
Attaway Hill, North Carolina, and at
several other points.
The lowest temperature has occurred
on the coast of Maine, and the highest
in the Southwest.
Frosts occurred very generally north
of Maryland on the 13th and 14 h. Frost
was reported on the 14th from Oswego,
Rochester and Buffalo, New York,
Squan Beach, New Jersey, Portland
and Mount Desert, Maine, Florida aud
Springfield, Massachusetts, and many
points in New York and Pennlylvania ;
on the 15th, in Pennsylvania and Ver
mont ; on the 16th, from New Hamp
shire. The frosts of the 13th aud 14th
were quite heavy aud damaging to
crops. The frosts of the 13th were
specially reported from New Market,
Maryland, Freehold, New Jersey, and
Fall River, Massachusetts. Light frost
was reported from Wayne county,
Pennsylvania, as late as the 21st.
Rainy [days.— The number of days on
which rain in any quantity has fallen
during the month averages about as
follows: New England, 11; Middle
States, Lower Lake region, and the
Ohio and Upper Mississippi Valleys,
15; South Atlantic and Eastern Gulf
States, Missouri and the Lower Missis
sippi Valleys and the Upper Lage re
gion, 10; Texas aud Indian Territory 7 , 5.
The relative humidity averages 80
per cent, for the immediate coast of
New Jersey and New Eugland, and 75
per cent, on the South Atlantic coast.
Elsewhere over nearly the entire coun
try east of the western plains the aver
age is from 65 to 70 per cent. It is, as
usual, very low at the Rocky Mountain
stations, being 33 per cent, at Chey
enne, 29 at Salt Lake City, and 28 at
Denver.
The prevailing winds have been from
southeast to southwest over all the
country east of the Rocky Mountains.
From the Ohio Valley to the Gulf the
direction has been nearly due south.
The critical comparison of the pub
lished predictions with the weather
actually following them, shows that, on
the average, for all the districts pre
dicted for, 87.5 per cent, of the predic
tions have been verified.
MISCELLANEOUS PHENOMENA.
(1) Natural Philosophy.— Under this
head, the following items are of note :
Grasshoppers. —At Denver, Colorado,
about the middle of June, grasshop
pers were reported leaving in all direc
tions. At Leavenworth, on the 11th,
they were reported flying north aud
northwest, and were all gone by the
13th. Grasshoppers left lowa on the
18th. Iu Kansas they were seen going
northeast on the 3d, and northwest on
the 12th. In Nebraska, going north
from the 10th to the 17th. Millions
are reported drowned by the heavy
rains in the Missouri valley. Grass
hoppers were very bad in New Mexico,
where distressiug drought also pre
vailed.
Locusts. —At Plattsmouth, Neb., im
mense swarms of locusts moved north,
northeast, and northwest, from the 13th
to the end of the month. The river
observer there says : “Yast quantities
of locusts were seen flying over from
the 15th to the 25th of June, inclusive,
except the 19th, 20th aud 21st. The
line was from 100 to 150 miles in width,
and from one-quarter to one-half mile
in depth. As only a few descended, no
serious damage resulted.” They seem
to have floated along in the prevailing
wind. Locusts were atEllenwood, Kan.,
on the 17th.
The Colorado Beetle or Potato Bug was
in large quantities in Waupaca and
Waushara counties, Wis., during the
month, and in Hunterdon county, N. J.
It was also reported iu New York.
(2) Forest Fires. —In Dutchess couu
ty, N. Y., on the 19th ; near Denver on
the 18th, 24th and 25th ; in St. Law
rence county, N. Y., from the 13th to
21st.

farm, in the family, questions are contin
ually arising, which no man, well-read or
not, can always satisfactorily answer. If
the facilities for reference are at hand,they
are consulted, and not only is the curiosity
gratified and the stock of knowledge in
creased, but perhaps information is gained
and ideas are suggested that will directly
contribute to the business success of the
party concerned.
But how are these facilities for reference
to be had ? How are the million to pro
cure a Library ? now are they to obtain
the means of informing themselves on
every point m which they may be interest
ed; of satisfying themselves with respect
to persons and places, questions of art and
science, religion and polities, literature an 4
philosophy, agriculture, commerce, and
manufactures V How can the working
man hope to bring within his reach the
whole circle of sciences, and every point of
human knowledge as developed up to the
present moment 7 We answer, by sub
scribing to the AMERICAN CYCLOPAEDIA
A Cyclopasdia is pre-eminently tne work
for our country and generation. No one
has time to grope among a hundred differ
ent works for ever> fact lequired, without
the certainty of finding it at last. When a
Cyclopedia, embracing every important
subject, and having its topics alphabetical
ly arranged, not a moment is lost. The
matter 111 question is found at once, di
gested, condensed, stripped of all that is
Irrelevant and unnecessary, and verified
by a comparison of the best authorities.
Moreover, while only men ol fortune can
collect a iibrary complete in ail the depart
ments of knowledge, a Cyclopteeia, worth
iujitself, for purposes of reference, at least,
a thousand volumes, is within the reach of
all—the cierk, the merchant, the profes
sional man, the farmer, the mechanic. In
a country like ours, where tlie humblest
may be called to responsible positions re
quiring intelligence aud general informa
tion, the value of such a wor x cannot be
over-estimated.
HOW TO GET A LIBRARY.
The “American Cyclopaedia” is in fact a
library in itself. It is a knowledge of the
centuries boiled down; the essence of ail
books crystalized. It stands on the shelves
ready to answer briefly every conceivable
question in physics, history, politics, art,
philosophy, and what not; to furnish pre
cisely the lnforma.ion wanted on almost
every possible subject; to turn your child
ren’s wide eyed wondering into the best of
schoolmasters; to make of every question
sprung in the lamily ciicle an instructive
lesson; to convert your guesses into posi
tive knowledge; to give you in briel para
graphs the lesult of other men’s years of
toilsome investigation. It is everything in
little, and no skill is necessary to the find
ing of tlie particular thing its owner may
happen to want. It is far more truly one
of the necessaries of life than are many of
the things which we commonly mean by
that phrase.
The work has been entirely rewritten by
the ablest writers on every subject, printed
from new type, and illustrated with seve
ral thousand engravings and colored lith
graphlc maps. It is issued every two
months, beginning July, 1873, and will be
completed in sixteen volumes - ten volumes
now ready—which are payable only upon
the delivery of each volume, so that the
cost, whien prevents most people from
buying a Cyclopaedia, is thus divided into
small instalments, which will be scarcely
noticed. It is not obligatory to take all
the volumes now published upon the first
deliverery; a volume may bo delivered
once a month, or once in two months, at
the option of the subscriber. The question
is only, how much can be spared each
month ? Three dollars a month, which is
only ten cents a day, the price of a segar,
will pay for a complete set of the Cyclo
paedia by the time of its completion. Then
there will be something substantial saved,
and a storehouse of knowledge, indeed a
Universal Library in itself, secured, with
but little effort or sacrifice.
