On last Saturday Mr. Whit Rountree visited Val
dosta and getting under the influence of liquor,
towards evening started for his home in the south
west portion of Lowndes county. Spying some
nice watermelons on Mr. C. 0. Force’s premises,
who lives in the edge of town, he concluded that he
would “just get over” and help himself, which he
did. While in the watermelon patch he was or
dered out by a negro woman, whose mandates he
refused to obey; whereupon she got a gun and fired
at him. He approached her with his knife drawn,
and when in striking distance she let fly with the
ertn and broke it over him. In the melee Rountree
Save the woman a severe stab in the back. The
blade of his knife With great force was thrust into
her back-bone, and being unable to pull it out he
it off, which our informant tells up to Tues-
dav (the day he left), had baffled the skill of the
physicians to extract it, her whole body being
raised by a pair of nippers hold of the broken end
of the blade. Mr. Rountree is regarded as a good
nd peaceable citizen, and if he had not been drunk
would not have gone upon Mr. Force’s premises.
The affair is very much regretted by him.
It is understood that Governor Colquitt yester-
dav signed an order commuting the death sentence
r^pntlv passed upon James Alford of Fulton coun-
tvtoimpr^ment in the penitentiary for life
y Mnst strenuous endeavors have been made by the
friends and counsel of the condemn^ for several
ififks to secure this commutation. Petitions were
twculated and numerously signed by good citizens
3 the county. The entire jury that tned the issue
ot A found Alford guilty signed the petition and
m<£t earnestly urged the reduction of the sentence,
^unfortunate condition and helplessness of the
vnung man enlisted the sympathies of all who
J^vAhe history of his case and hence the almost
^Tralbelief that, as the law now stands, it would
to consign him to the rope. _
fcThTlfovenior will doubtless fully assignthe rea-
F Th .amply justify his action, but that is
needed. The leading 1 reason must be that
coined most of the signers to the
petitions, viz: That Alford was con-
death before the passage of
the present law allowing juries to recommend to
mercy and reduce the punishment of murder to
imprisonment for life; the supreme court affirmed
the judgment of the couri, but in doing so strongly
intimated that it was a case for executive clemen
cy. It is understood they so privately advised the
governor. Hence, as others have the benefits of
the new law, the governor deemed it proper to
thus commute Alford’s sentence to a grade with
that of these others.
The boiler of the steam saw-mill of Mr. Charley
Jones, six miles east of West Point, exploded Sat
urday mornimr, June 28, killing the engineer,
Hughes, instantly and wounding six others, two of
them fatally.
The boiler was literally blown away, and the
fragments scattered through the woods to a dis->
tance of 150 yards, leaving the ground on which it
stood as clean as if it had been swept.
The body of Hughes was thrown several rods
and wrapped around a tree. The upper portion of
his head was torn away, leaving only his tongue
and lower jaw attached to the body. Henry
Owens, colored, had his bowels torn out, and an
other colored man had his thigh broken and was
otherwise injured. Neither of them are expected
to recover.
The large stones of the furnace, some of them
weighing two hundred pounds, were hurled a dis
tance of two hundred yards and buried in the
earth.
Eye witnesses describe the force of the explosion
as terrific. The carelessness of the engineer in let
ting the water get too low in the boiler and then
pumping in cold water was the cause of the ex
plosion.

‘I have now fulfilled my promise, and here
ends my story. I see that it affects you seri
ously . I knew that you were not prepared for
such a revelation; but for reasons already stated.
I think that I have only discharged my duty. I
give you permission to speak to Nelly on the
subject at any suitable time after her recovery.
By so doiny I think you mav be of material ser
vice to her. This is an additional reason why
1 have been so free to tell you this long cher
ished secret of my lifo. As you see there is
much mystery in it that I am wholy unable to ex
plain. I have simply told you all I knew. The
solution of the remainder must be left to time—
it may be to the unfolded records of eternity,
when every thing that was hidden shall be re
vealed. We will now retire, for I must go and
see l,ow my ever darling Nelly is resting.’
Julius arose from bis seat, but almost dizzy
with the various emotions and conjectures that
pressed upon him. Trying to assure himself of
the reality of what he had heard, he. with trem
bling step and bewildered mind, followed Mr.
Montgomery Into the sitting room where the
joyful intelligence reached them that Nellv was
sleeping quietly. Julius devoted the remain
ing portion of the day to thought,but when be
retired at night he found himself where he had
begun.
Under the skillfnl treatment of Dr. Romaine
and his assistant nurses. Nelly’s mind was found
to be entirely restored on the evening of the
fourth day of her illness. The vacant stare
had left her eyes—her classical forehead had
ceased its painful throbbings, and the hectic
glow upon her cheeks had faded info the pure
white of the shade-horn lily.
The favorite of all, Nelly wss visited by many
friends who took great care to t T eat her kindly
aBd gently. Four successive nights had Mrs.
Lemon, the cariosity of all and the enigma of
the Montgomery family and Jnlin* Latrain,
watched over her darlfog little Nell’ without
closing her eyes in sleep. Not one breath had
the fair sufferer drawn during this time, with
out being seen by this faithful, constant friend.
Another constant attendant was Clara SnDdown,
who never, became weary in administering to
the necessities of those she loved. As a nurse
she had no superior, and her manners were so
engaging and persuasive, that she was consid
ered a ray of s inshine in the sick-room.
The time had arrived for Willie's return to
college; bat he refused to leave Nelly until he
was folly assured of her entire recovery. Her
parents, for by this title we must still call Mr.
and Mrs. Montgomery, were so aDxious about
her weliare, that they conld not bear to go be
yond the reach of her voice.
Daring the time of her illness she did not say
any thing calculated to reveal the cause of her
distress, and to the great relief of the family,
their secret was still secure.

father ? and oh mother and Willie, are yon not
mine—my mother and my brother ? Speak ! O
speak ! and let my heart break at once—I can
not bear this anguish longer ! Tell me—tell me
now, if I am the poor, udknown child called
Nelly Stanbridge in this fatal book !’
‘As she asked this qnestion she fell helpless
in my arms; bnt in broken language fold me of
all she had read, and of its effects upon her.
Still I could not speak, and my head felt giddy.
Presently her lips began to quiver, her clear
bine eyes seemed to close in death, and I was
as powerless to either speak or move as a mar
ble statue. Presently she openeij her eyes and
looked me full in the face, as if beseeching me
to answer her question. * I have been called a
man of nerve; bnt for onc6 I was undone. I
conld think; bnt still I conld not speak. Mast
that tender earth-angel who had so often called
me by the endearing name of father, Lear from
my own lips that she was a stranger in my fam
ily, and in onr own minds, at least, the tender
relations of father, and mother, and daughter,
and brother, and sister, must forever cease to
exist ? Ah ! the thought was untold agony to
me; bnt I saw that she knew all, and that it was
mv duty to acknowledge its truth. By an effort
far more difficult and painful than any other of
my life, I succeeded in telling her all I knew of
her history. The fountain of her tears instantly
dried np, and as a death-like pallor passed over
her features, she faintly whispered:
•And Willie knows this too !’
‘Yes,’I answered, ‘he knows it too; but yon
will still be his own dear sister; his mother will
still be yonr mother; and his father will still be
yonr father. Aye ! we will all continue to love
yon more dearly if possible, than before, and
with a bleeding heart we ask for the continu
ance of your love, pure and tender as it baa al
ways been.
‘Just then Willie and his mother came into
the room. I dreaded the consequences, and
had hoped that Nelly could be quieted before
they learned any thing of her fat»tf discovery;
bnt I had spoken too lond, ancame to
learn the cans® of my passional# appeals. Of
oonrse an explanation, however painfnl, had to
be given, and 1 can never forget the terror of its
effect upon these loved ones of my heart. Clasp
ing the sufferer In her arms, Mrs.. Montgomery
cried in tones of heart-rending angniBb:
‘Oh Nelly, my own beloved will yon again
look at me with yonr sweet bine eyes, and call
me mother as in days gone by 1 If possible, I
will still love yon more and more! I will be
all that a fond mother oan be.’
•Yes; my ever dear sister,’ exclaimed Willie,
‘speak, and tell me that yon wiil always call me
brother, and make me once more happy.’
Bnt the pale girl did not reply to any of these
impassioned appeals—she heard them not—she
was unconscious ! The appearance of Willie
and his mother had increased the terrible ex-
oitement nnder which she was laboring, and
she sank fainting in my arms. I bore h/sr
to her room. Dr. Romaine, our family physi
cian, was sent for in all possible haste. A little
before his arrival, she slightly opened her eyes,
and asked where she was. We then made the
discovery that her look was wild and vacant.
Her oheeks were flushed with a burning fever,
and soon she was in convulsions. The doctor
came, bnt the disease was beyond the reach of
medioal skill—the broken heart yields not to
^IfoVttS^idnighrthat night was there any
chuge in her for the better. Heaven grant that
she may continue to improve uatil the shadow
that now hangs over my household is chased
away by her entire recovery.
