3Xcnrs of the Mlccli. THE BUSY WORLD. Its Sunshnie and its Shadows. the souther? states. CwPopjjIb.—Mr, Reuben N. EdwardR, an old and popular citizen of Putnam county, is dead. • Summer visitors are already putting in ap pearance at Indian Spring. The crops in Butts are in good condition. Plums and peaches will be plentiful. The Butts county Argus has settled upon General Toombs as its choice for next governor. Captain Frank Burnet, a conductor on the Macon and Augusta railroad, has been discharged because he refused t wear the blue uniform and regulation cap and buttons of a conductor. The dwelling-house of Mr. John D. George. Mayor of Griffin, was burned recently, in Fayette county. The .sun says it was occupied by his overseer, and everything was a total loss. The dwelling was one of the most elegaut in this section of the country, and the loss is about $6,000, which falls mostly on Mr. George. The origin is unknown, but there are some suspicious circumstances which may result in ferreting out the cause. Colonel H. H. Jones, writing from Cuthbert to the Macon Telegraph, says: “On the afternoon of the 6th instant this city was visited by a terrific tall of rain and hair, accompanied by wind equal in vio lence to a cyclone. Its track lay about four miles north of Cuthbert. and was from one to two miles in width, tending in a northeasterly direct ion. The writer could hear it roaring in the distance like pent-up thunder, while a lurid, inky cloud envel oped the northern horizon. Several hours after wards, startling reports from the storm began to come in. The hail had been unprecedented. Among the sufferers Rev. J. E. Godfrey had his gin-house, cabins, barns, fences and every building on the plantation, save the dwelling, utterly demolished, with an almost total destruction of his crop. Mr. C. C. Adams fared nearly as bad lj% He had an ex cellent crop of wheat all headed out, literally torn to atoms and prematurely mown. Nearly every pane of window glass in his house was smashed, the corn cut into tatters, cotton literally extermi nated and fruit trees stripped of their burden. The hail was as large as the egg of a guinea fowl, and covered the ground six inches deep on a level, with drifts in gullies and the corners of fences two feet in depth. The next morning that gentleman brought into town and exhibited large boughs of peach trees not only denuded or fruit and foliage, but literally peeled, as though the bark had been removed with a knife. He had with him also a bucket of hail, gathered since the rain, and after a whole night had intervened, which were still as large as jiartridge eggs. Weeds, cabbages and vege tables of every description were completely riddled, and.his cotton was non inventus. VV e have secured a peach live limb, and some other storm relics, and will bring them home this evening to con vince the doubting Thomases of your city. The worthy sheriff of the county, Mr. Lovett Smith, told tne writer that all of his grown poultry had been killed by the bail, and not one in a hundred of the heads of wheat in his crop was left standing. Both corn and cotton were ruined; his windows broken and the shingles on the roof of his dwelling so split up and damaged by the liail-stones that the interior was Hooded with water. When he reached home that night from court, he found Mrs. 8niith attempting to dry before a blazing fire suffi cient bedding for the use of the family. The crop of Mr, A. J. Moye was aiso destroyed, and at noon the next day thousands of bushels of hail-stones might have been gathered on his premises. Such is a brief description of this terrible providential visitation. Had it been general all over the State, the whole land would be clothed in mourning/’ Alabama.—The measles is raging in Troy. The corn crop of Baton Rouge parish gives prom- iseofan excellentyieid.
