Schevenell, tlie fatherof Mr. Leonard Schevenell, of tills city, brought to Savannah from Eng land the first engine that ever came to Georgia. A Georgia Invention.—Hon. A. H. Stephens said some years ago at the Col lege chapel in his speech to the Alumni that the sewing machine was a Georgia invention. Query.—Will tlie students at the Uni versity still extend that invitation to the Hon, Emory Speer to deliver an address before them? Report says the invitation will be withdrawn. A War Horse.—Mr. D. M. Pruitt drives a horse every day that was in the battle of Manassas. He was .on the Yankee side, got shot in the hoof and is branded twice with U. S. I>r. Hamilton is building a large reser voir near Ids wind-mill. Council is determined aland the wa ter-works for Athens. A prisoner Friday was seen with apis- tol at the station house.

Athens is getting to lie headquar ters for blooded cattle, horses, hogs and chickens. .The Athens factory yesterday stop ped at four o’clock instead of six o’clock as heretofore. Davis hasn’t taken charge of the post-office yet. It is the rarest occurrence for a police man to live fifteen years, if he remains in the service. There is quite a sewing machine war now waging between tlie different agen cies in Athens. Sentenced. — John Johnson, the clothes thief arrested in Cartersville, was yesterday tried in the City Court and sentenced to twelve months in the chain- gang. This was quick work. I anting Cotton.- -Nearly all the farmers are hard at work this week planting cotton, and we hear of a few who have finished. This is rather early, but all pros|>cct of frost is over. Cleaning Ur.—Those fine bottoms on each side of the Lexington road, on the Billups’ place, have been cleaned off and litchcd, and is now one of the first pieces of land in Clarke county. Net Grass.—Several line gardens in Athens are ruined with this worthless grass. By sprinkling the land with salt it can be easily gotten rid of—although if von put on too much you will kill your land also, for several years. Hiltokic Trees.—The old oak tree in front of the chapel and the big chestnut tree in rear of the Cultivator office, are two of the oldest institu tions in Athens, except the big rock U]H)ii which the town is built. Ol'K New Sion.—Yesterday the Messrs. Parr put up a beautiful new sign for the Banner-Watchman office. It is gilt letters on a black ground, and reflects great credit upon the taste of Mrs. Calvin Parr, who painted it. A Bee Ball.—A large swarm of bees have taken charge of the gilt bull on top of the Presbyterian stee ple, and has it doubtless filled with honey. They enter the holes around its sides, and find a safe and cozy re treat within. Tiie PauperFarm.—Clarke county may well be proud ofher pauper farm, under the management of Mr. John II. Tuck. The fields are worked like a garden, the houses are nicely paint ed, and everything looks as clean and neat as a pin. Captured Treasure.—There is a a man now living in Athens who found a bag containing $2,000 in gold in an old bake oven, while passing through Pensylvania with Lee: Ana what is better, he brought it safely home with him.' China Berry Whisky.—There was an old German during the war living in Athens, named Hines, and did nn immense business distilling whisky from China berries. The China I terry whisky- was sold by all tlie dealers in liquors at that time. The Cause.—Some of our citizens seem to think that the revisors of the last jury lists are indirectly to blame for some of the present trouble be tween tlie races. Taking white men off tlie lists and putting negroes on certainly has a tendency that way. Picnic.—There will be a picnic at Gum 8prlng next Friday. Athens will doubtless turn out in force. A Trophy.—Ham Wynn carries a watch that he received as prise when a farmer boy, for raising 109 bushels and three quarts of corn on one acre of land by his own exertions. A Noble Lady.—Very few people in Athens know, perhaps, that there is a Isdy buried in Oconee cemetery who was the daughter of an English bank er, millionaire and n rifleman. Fine Water.—The old Rock’spring in rear of the Lucy Cobb institute was a few years ago a great resort for ram blers on Sunday evenings; bat now it is never spoken of. It is beyond doubt tfie best water in Athens. Aroused.—A .leading gentleman from Clayton, Rabun county, writes us: “Up here we look upon the ap pointment of negroes to high Impor- portant offices as a vindictive intuit to the people of the whole State.” Got Religion.—A case-hardened sinner got religion last week atone of our colored churches and it had such an effect upon him that he made for the prCRcher and caught him by the neck and lifted him off the floor two or three times. It took most of the male members of the church to keep the convert from running over the women and hold him down. The College Museum.—Workmen have beer, overhauling the upper floor of the chapel, in which the museum attached to the University is located, with a view to re-arranging the curi osities here stored and putting them again on exhibition. There are many rare and valuable relicts here kept, for many years beyond the benefit of the public, and we think it a wise provision in theTrustees if they will have them properly arranged and put on exhibit. They are lion-packed away without order, and if not collected many will be ruined or their identity lost. THE GEORGIA EXTENSION. East Athens.—The citizens living in East Athens (over the river) are thinking about petitioning the proper authorities to h^ve that part of the city cut off. They think that they could have better streets aud more improvements for less money than they are getting now. McBride & Co., Atlanta, Ga., have in Mock ilie largest and most varied assort ment of I .ant p Goods ever brought south. I'arloraml llidl Lumps—Glass and Brass l amps. Ki ll, dor l.amps, and latnterns, Shades, liiirneis, Chimneys. Yon save a good profit in freight and our prices are ns low as in any market. HiyU Authority. Dr. \Y. K. Scott, President of the Col lege of Physicians, Montreal, writes: "I have recommended Colden’a lodg ing's l.iqtiip Extract of Beef and Tonic Invigorator as the best preparation used for debility, indigestion, dyspepsia, fever ague, and loss of appetite.” (Take no other..) magnolia acid. Messrs. Orr & Hunter have an unpre cedented demand for this |>opular acid and are selling an immense amount of it. Their sales exi ecd their most sanguine expectations. This acid has been tested Lv our planters for years, and it has a -pie' diil reputation. Farmers can, " ith its use, manufacture a festilizer as food as the Is st at a small cost. The new City Ordinances will con tain one hundred and fifty closely printed pages. Iavaks in gas pipes have killed a num ber of shade trees in Alliens that were planted near them. An old steer is penned in the court house yard, awaiting a law-suit be tween two butchers. Tlie Rev. Mr. Davis this week re ceived a lot of curiosities from differ ent parts of tile globe. At this season the small boy aspires to get ahead of the early bird, so as to use that worm for bait. Marriages.—Miss Georgia John son, of Lexington, and Mr. Wright, of Bowman, were lately married. Mr. R. J. Stokely, of Crawford, and Miss Do- rah Haire, of Lexington, were also united iu the holy bands of matrimo ny yesterday. Miss Dora is one of the nicest young ladies we ever knew, and our best wishes attend her. The extension of the Georgia rail road over into the heart of Athens is no longer a matter of doubt, but is now a settled fact. The contract for erect ing the bridge over the Oconee has al ready been awarded to an Atlanta con tractor, who is now selecting timber for the purpose. It will be a magnifi cent structure—one span reaching across tlie stream. It will be built to stand for years, and ou the most im proved plan. This bridge will be erected about the middle of the old field above the lower bridge. Every train is bringing stone for culverts, and work on them will he begun at once. The granite for this purpose comes from Stone Mountain. The only- bridge on the extension will be across the river—the intervening ravines and creeks are to be filled, excepting culverts sufficiently large to carry ail water. The contracts for grading is to be let oq the 15th inst., and it is stipulated that the entire work is to be completed in time for the trains to be running over the line by the first of September next. The depots will be erected immediately in rear of the Foundry, and streets are to be opened thereto. Col. Wadley intends to have every improvement in the most sub stantial manner. The freight and passenger depots will be separate, and are to be handsome buildings, large enough to meet the increasing busi ness of tlie city. A round house is also to be built. The advantage of the extension of this road into the city is incalculable. It will enable our merchants to have goods laid down almost at their doors, and give a decided advantage over the old system. The North-Eastern will be forced to connect in self-defence— and this will add to the importance of our city, and prove of inestimable ad vantage to parties living down the Athens branch. _ Unless the hitter road connects, the Georgia will get a bulk of the travel, as it will save pas sengers hack fare, as they are put down in a few steps of the business centre. Millinery,—Mrs. T. A. Adams has ju-t returned Irom the Northern markets wiili tlie most lieaiitifui selection of soring millinery ever seen in this city. All tlie novelties of tlie season. Prices tlie lowest. d:t-w2m. A Distinguished Visitor.—We had tlie pleasure yesterday of a call from our esteemed friend, Col. J.T. M. Haire,one of Oglethorpe's leading mer chants. Col. Hair was looking well, and reports everything progressing finely down tlie country. He says farmers are well up with their crops, and the prospects were never better. He will shortly move to the store formerly occupied liy.Haire A Latimer. The darkeys won’t work in the field where Jordan Sheals’ brother was kill ed, as they say it is hnunted. This section of Georgia is specially adapted to the growth of flax—ami there is more money in it than cotton. Athens lias as many bridges across her river as the city of Cincinnati and two more than Louisville, Ky. There is an unprecedented demand for laborers in Athens, and mauy jobs are held back for the want of hands. Athens buteliers have advanced the price of steak to 12}™ cents; but there is no correspondingudvance in quality. One of the richest men in Athens takes no stimulunts whatever. He uses no liquors, tobacco, tea nor coffee. We met nn old lady on the train last Tuesday who was seventy years of age, and hud never ridden on a train before. Frank Johnson, tlie murderer, is only step son to Miles Johnson ; und Miles has behaved very erditatfly in tlie mat ter. Mr. Geo. Ware yesterday finished carrying around blanks for making applications for tobacco, cigars und liquors. Every good beef in this section is bought up and shipped to Augusta or Savanna I , where beet is wortli 15 and 11) cents. Western Freights.—Yesterday tlie Western railroad men came to an amicable agreement, and as a conse quence freights were advanced again. This is tiad news to Consumers, al though Athens stands on the same footing with other Southern cities, The advance is considerable over the rated charge during the railroad war Boriiin Mill.—The only bobbin mill south of the Potomac is located near Athens. Although the machiu cry used is of the crudest style, we learn that when, at work it cleara from $15 to $20 a day. There is plenty of timber for the purpose in this sec tion, and If this business was worked up could be made to pay handsomely. Police Cilclks.—Since the late dis turbance everything is quiet in the city. No arrests are la-lug made, and it seems • lie general wi-li of all classes new to go about their bi si ness and let the law take its course. This is the best. An Athens Boy.—One of the- lar gest operators on Wall street, New Y T ork, a few years ago, was an Athens boy and thtj, son of a Presbyterian minister who resided in this city at that time. Unfortunately he lost all on tho famous'black Friday (in which Jim Fisk and Jay Gould figured so conspicuously), and is now fanning is Mississippi. Tiie city of Athens extends a mile and a half in every direction from the College ■ Impel, according to tlie last survey by Capt. J. C. Turner. Oconee cemetery contains within its bounds tiie graves of more illustrious men than perhaps any cemetery in the Southern States. Fnkk Schools.-*While the colored People of our city have a number of pros- peruua free schools, there is not a place where a poor white child can b* educa ted without paying for same the most ex tortionate price. Let our City Council take some step in this direction, as it is tlie ardent work of the great mass of our people. New Office.—We learn that Dra Genline and Benedict Intend to build a handsome new offloe,asaoon as they ran find some elligible site. The low er floor will be fitted up to that it can he used its a drug store. - The action of the colored fire com panies is proper aud sensible. We be lieve the report against thenj will be found to be false. Mr. J. R. Crane’s place, that lie is ad vertising lor sale, is one of the nicest and most convenient houses in Athens— with every improvement. It is nnnored that some parties in Ath ens have an eye on the old grave-vard property, for the purpose oi erecting a large warehouse ihcieon. A very prominent lawyer in Athens a few days ago when asked why he didn’t ran for sn office said be had rather sleep in the front yard than be a candidate ’VS* Corliss engine that was at the Cantenial Exposition and run fifteen mllea or shafting and built at **»• Shops of Geo. H. Corliss of Provi dence, H. I., was designed and built byaGeorgan who served his trade in Provisions Advancing.—Yesterday becon and corn took another bound, and Jumped pp a notch. Flour re mains unchanged, but the market is t. Cotton* was also firm, with it slight advance. We don’t look for any decline in provisions until anoth er crop is harvested, although flour will decline Jf the present fine prospect holds its own. A Dead Infant.—While Mr, Wm. Royal was up the river seiuing and fish ing Monday lie suddenly stumbled on a small grave on the bank of the river and just above the Carlton old brick yard place. He dag down and foqpd under some saw dust, with which the-box was filled, tho bleached bones of an Infant. It had evidently been there a long time. As yet there is no suspicion or clue as to who the mother of the child was, or who buried It in this secluded spot, and per haps never will be. A STRANGE TRAGEDY. HON. PETE LAWSHE. Philadelphia, Pa., April 10.—An astonishing case of fatality, in which three sistess died within half an hour, was reported to the coroner to-day. About ten o’clock last night Mrs. Winsmorewent to her bed room to retire for the night, when she heard a noise in her sister’s room. the tragedy culminates. Upon reaching her room Mrs. Wins- rnore found Mrs. Watson in a dying condition. Medical assistance was promptly summoned, and Mrs. Smith was also sent for. The physicians found Mrs. Watson in a comatose con dition, and admiffistered ammonia, bnt she did not revive and expired in a few minutes. Before they had re covered from their astonishment Mrs. Winsmore was overcome and fell to the floor in an unconscious state, and in ten minutes she died, and ten min utes later Mrs. Smith, the third sister, was a corpse. All are supposed to have died from natural causes. t—* oftb» Mnumutrlct. _ Yesterday morning while quietly sitting at our desk, penning an edito- rial that was destined to revolutionize the world and turn up the Independ ent menagerie in our district in a po sition to be. conveniently spanked next tall, the doorway of our sanctum was darkened by an object that wer at a first glance took to be a tooth-pick or an annimated exclamation point; but a subsequent inspection disclosed to tie the world-renowned Lawahe, the-great giascutis of the Gainesville .SWMbri. Instantly leveling our Fa ber at his head, we prepared at once to shed the last drop of information in the shriveled carcas of this great iuk- slinger; but our adversary was too quick for us—having gotten the drop with a “Toofur” cigar. We had noth ing to do but quietly yield, and point ing to our chair of honor, motioned him to be seated. Then began a clear case of “dog eat dog.” We wanted to annalize his programme for the future, without showing our hand—while the old man had similar designs upon our intellectual mine. He began the greeting with— “Well, how is the little filth-slinger getting on?” Bully,” we retorted; “and how is the old guano horn tooting now?” “Still blowing for the Independents —and we are going to beat you!” We staked our last nickel cigar on the issue. “Who are you going to buck against Emory?” Well, we’ve got several men who can pull that wool hat over his eyes next fall—there’s Judge Erwin, Dr. Carlton, Pope Barrow, Tinny Rucker and other names too numerous to mention.” But Alex Erwin won’t run?” and our visitor looked scared at the proba ble thought. We gently pulled tlie lower lid of our left eye downward with the tip of our little finger. Who are your independent, organ ized disruptured, ring-bound, hide bound, inconsistent, anti-convention, mass-meeting calling, thimble-rig ging Markham bustification going to put out for Governor?” Felton—he is the representative of the young Democracy, and we count on getting a majority of the white votes and all the niggers.” We asked our old friend if they wouldn’t compromise on the niggers and leave us the whites. He gave || sigh of acceptance—and the trade was then and there made. Our next shot: “How is it that you who have always been fighting rings and conventions, can cutuittently or ganize a little ring in tiie Murkham House, and then cap the climax by calling a convention?” We took a long puff'at our Havana and quietly waited his reply. Well, you see—er-cre r—I-I-I—but I haven’t time now to explain. Rut that was a mean trick this morning trying to fix the killing of young Roundtree on the Independent party.” We explained, we believe to the Col onel’s satisfaction, our reasons for so doing. ‘But Mr. Speer had nothing to do with Davis’ appointment,” continued Col. Lawshe. “He did not know of his being chosen until his nomination was sent in.” “That isftrue,” we admitted, “but we knoir that Emory was at the same time urging the appointment of an other colored man, and the Southron confessed that he could have secured the retention of Dr. Orr if he saw fit- But what are your prospects for next fall in the.district?” “Well, Erwin is • your strongest man, and if he was put out will weak en Speer in Clarke, Habersham and Oconee, but we will gain enough votes in other counties to overbalance the loss. I admit we are losing some votes now, but at the same time are gaining others.’’ “You won’t get three votes in Mad- son county!” “We will carry it by 300 majority.” “I know better.” “You are another.” Bloodshed was nipped in the bud by wagering another cigar. After this the conversation turned ou the newspaper business. The Col onel informs us that he has 1,500 bona fide subscribers—more than any pa per in the district except the Banner- Watchman. He is certainly publish ing a live, newsy paper, and if so many of his party wasn’t debarred the knowledge of letters he would doubie that number. Mr. Lawshe is a genial, afTabie gentleman, and we are always glad to see him in our city. ’ THAT RED-HEADED MAN. rimson Craniom H»ro of tao MorjflMW NBW HXOB 8BOAL8. In the last issue of the Atlanta Post- Appeal “Col.” Smith Olay ton phmeesto the front iu a column esay ou red-head, ed men, in which he attempts lo prove that all tliejtreatness of this universe, for the past eighteen centuries 'has been consolidated in scarlet top-knots— while humanity not thus embellished piust either be content to enaw on the cud of seclusion and ignorance, or seek safety by the liberal application of poke- berries. >Now this is is the first time we have ever heard of a man’s brains, lying in the tint of his hair—but as “Colonel” Clayton affirms it to be $ fact we shall not dispute I lie statement. But while all the valor and goodness And greatness of the present and past centuries may be con solidated in men with fiery Jocks, we dispute tlie power of this feature giving a man authority to revolve bimseir into the seventh part of a convention and dic tate a platform for the greet State of Georgia. For we do not know any other claims Colonel Clayton has to essav ieadership. But in Col. Smith Clayton’s vocabu lary of red-headitory greatness h t e has omitted many famous specimens,’ who will doubtless feel aggrieved at the neg lect—and to siiow that the Organized Democracy are their friends we will herald their claims to the universe: First on the list comes our old friend John Smith, of Oglethorpe. He was once honored by a seat in the Georgia Legislature, and would doubtless have been elevated to Congress but for the fact that reil-iiair went out of fashion about that time and his friends didn’t wish to martyr him ou the shrine of pub lic taste. Then there is Dennis O’Bryan, who engineers a di ay in Savannah. Dennis was always a great mail on St. Patrick’s Day, for he could get away with more split-lightning than a rat-hole. And yet Mr. O’Bryan never used his power to hold a convention. Gen. Phil Sheridan is read-headed. Ai.d while that Piegan warrior delights to insult a helpless people, he postively refused to'take part in that Markham House bustification. Frank Baldwin is aubiiru-haired; bi t when that budding genious discovered that a similar specimen held high car nival iu that Markham House carmag nole lie instantly had his locks shingled into tiie quick. Frank says that Colo nel Clayton is the first red-headed man that ever brought shame upon this hue —by holding a convention of seven. Murk Pitman is red-headed, and Mark is as mad as blue-hlazes because tlie Colo nel left bis name out of that paragraph where he s|ieaks of Bill SliaVspeare.Tom Jefferson and Pat Henry. Hon. James-M. Smith has a red-head ed statesman among his convicts; and as the Markham House platform is built ujion the shoulders of convicts, why does Col. Clayton ignore this honored citizen, who was elected to his present office by tlie unanimous vote of twenty- four jurymen? The head of that beautiful bird the peekerwood is a deep crimson—and yet in his catalogue Col. Clayton ignores the claims of this bird to even honorable mention. And we here demand to know- why should the peekerwood be slighted? We have now in our mind’s eye num berless instances of red-headed great ness that this noble and immortal ring- ster has ignored. We right here pro claim ourself tlie friend of the red-headed race, and admit that a flaming cranieum has lighted many a man on his road to fame and glory. It is not to the texture of this Mark ham House Colonel’s hair that we ob ject, but simply lighted on that as the most conspicuous feature in his anatomy •r mental endowments. If we had said Clayton tlie statesman, we laid ourself liable to prosecution for libel; if we 8]>oke of him as the Christian hero we would be construed as dealing in the bit* terest sort of sowcasm; if we spoke of him as Col. Clayton, the orator, the poet or the patriot, the world would look in vain for the hero of our sketch—but when we simply mentioned “the red headed man in tlie Markham House po litical regulators,” all eyes were turned upon Col. Smith Clayton, and even that gentleman instantly recognized ;our pic ture and rushed to ..the ^front with a hearty “aye, aye, sir!” We have always ’heard that there waq no dividing classification among red-headed humanity—that they were ever exceedingly bright or tottering on the verge of the other sphere. Will the Colonel please inform us to which side he belongs? , THE LATE MURDER.

While the murderers in jail appear to recognize the fact that their necica are in danger, they keep in good spirits, and spend their time in - writing notes to friends outside. Last Sunday they ask ed the prayers oi the different- colored churches, stating that they thought per haps they would be hung,.which request was granted. They have been removed to a cell up-stairs, which is thought to be ssfer, In case of an attempt at release. They hstre few visitors. BALLS IN TUB FENCE. The place of shooting of young Round- tree is just above the'middle gate, on Prim-e avenue, beneath a China tree that stands on the sidewalk. In the fence is seen the imprint of a ball, over which some one has written, “fired by Frank J.” There is another ball further down the fence. From tlie position of the an tagonists, it was impossible for Bartow Roundtree to have shot his brother, As the negroes try to prove. Thfe sidewalk here is twelve feet wide, and in splen did repair. The rock upon which Round tree’s head struck when falling is seen. K WITNESSES TO TIIE CONFLICT, Two ladies saw the shooting—one was just across the street, while another was at her front gate. T' e latter says she saw Walter Roundtree shot down by Frank Johnson before his brother fired a shot; and she will make this state ment upon the stand if necessary. the jail. The jail will be guarded every night until some disposition is made of the prisoners. The Sheriff intends if the murderers remain in jai! here, to em ploy a couple of men, armed with re peating rifles, to sleep in jail every night. The Sheriff telegraphed Saturday to the Chief of Police in Atlanta to meet him at depot, as he intended carrying them there; but owing to opposition to removal from several citizens he did not leave. Mr. Weir thinks- they will be perfectly safe in Athens, but perhaps removal would heifr allay excitement. NO FURTHER TROUBLE. For the past three or four nights ev erything remained perfectly quiet around the jail. Occasionally a few straggling bands of black are seen slowly- walking around _ the jail, in tlie atreet, and Saturday night one or two negroes were seen with guns on their shoulders, but no demonstrations whatever were made. The friends of the prisoners, we believe, are convinced that the authori ties will protect them, and they are will ing to rest their fate with the law. the errv QUIET. Our city was never more quiet than now. The blacks attend to their busi ness and make no demonstration what ever. Occasionally you hear some in- cendiaty threat from a passing band of Idlers, bnt as these men do not represent the sentiment of their peopleno attention is paid to what they say. There are some very mean negroes in Athens, who have taken refuge here from outrages in other counties, who would delight to sitr up strife between the two races; but the police have spotted these outlaws, and will see that they are not successful in their vile designs. TIIE RIOTERS. Yesterday the case of the negroes bound over by the Mayer to appear at the City Court was called, when the at torney for the defense arose and demand ed an indictment by the grand jury. This settles the matter until the May session of Clarke Superior Court. We learn that Messrs. E. T. Brown, of Ath ens, and George Thomas, of Watkins- ville, will appear in their defense. We hope that this trouble is now over, and that both the whites and blacks will re main quiet and leave the settlement of the trouble to conrts of justice. Law cannot be overridden in Georgia, and any resistance will but bring trouble upon those who make the attempt. •LEGAli NOTICES. A PETITION, 8TATK OF OKOUU1A. CLARKE cqujtrrr.

At a mi-vting of the Directors, of the a'Kive well known Manufacturing Com pany, to elect a successor to Mr. Isaac Powell, deceased, who had so long and faithfully held the position of President of tlie-company, they dlscoved that ow ing to the peculiar const ruction of their by law* they had no authority to elect a President to fill an unexpired term so to obviate the difficulty they made a temporary arrangement to place the con trol of the factory uuder the manage ment of the Chairman of their board and Hon. H. D. McDaniel, of Walton county, was elected to fill that position. The Chairman appointed Mr. Geo. Felk- er, Agent, and he will run the Factory under direction of Chairman McDaniel. This is ode of the finest factories in the Sonth, and under the new management will doobtleas continue to earn hand some dividends for the stock-holders. Killing a Jersey.—Yesterday Mr. Sloman, the botcher, bought of Mr. A. P. Dearing, for $69, one of the finest blooded Jeraey cows in the city, add will this morolog slaughter her for beef, which he is selling rapidly at 15 cents a pound. It seems that the cow had got no fat that she failed in milk, and as it would be ueven or eight months be fore she .could Hie again of use, her doom was sealed. The cow was registered, and was as fine an animal as there is in Georgia. It was a pity to kill her.' In tlfia age of humbuggery It b cer tainly a pleasure to deal with a man who would not stoop to do a mean or dishonest thing. Such a man Jb W. A. Talmade, on College avenue, who would have you remember that he has for sale one of the most elegant selec tions of jewelry and silver-plated ware, clocks, watches, etc., ever ex hibited in Northeast Georgia. Call and be convinced. Yesterday we mentioned tlie fact that the negro John Johnson, who stole Mr. Veronee’s clothes, liad been placed in iail. We yesterday met Policeman Pier- Son, and from him learned the following particulars of the capture: Mr. P. was on a visit to friends inCar- tenville, and while walking along the street early in the morning saw the pris oner, together with another negro nani ed Bob Amos, who bad jumped a fine of $5 for knocking a woman down opposite Deupree Hall, standing on the corner. The recognition was mutual, and Mr. Pierson made a rush to capture Ills bird, but before he could reach him Johnson drew apistol and presenting it, informed Pierson that he did not intend to be car ried back to Athens alive, and if he ad' vanced another step would kill him. But before the fellow could fire Mr. P. rushed upon him and seizing his wrist attempted to wrench the weapon from his hand. The negro then tried to trans fer it to his other hand, when that was grappled too. He next attempted to get it in position to shoot; but Pierson gave his wrist such a wrench that the weapon dropped on the pavement. The negro then drew a case-knife, that was sharp ened into a dagger, and turned to stab his assailant, who being as strong as Johnson prevented' his so doing. The scuffle continued for some minutes, and the prisoner had nearly all his clothes torn off, when a gentleman arrived on the scene and tins negro was safely con veyed to jail. The next day he was se curely tied pnd placed aboard the train and brought back to Athens, where he will be trjed for bis offense. He made no attempt to escape on the way, and appeared completely hackeJ. During the scuffle Bob Amos took leg ball and escaped. Mr. Pierson deaeryes praise for bis efficiency in the matter.

Frazier, a highly respect able farmer of Gwinnett, was In town yesterday. He reports that while crossing Mitchell’s bridge, three or four miles from Athens, on Sunday night, ( be came upon a large crow<| of negroes drilling, under command of a fellow from Athens. As soon as Mr. F. was discovered the blacks set up a shout that made one of his horses break loose, when they began to curse aud abuse him. We think it prudent not to repeat the threats made. We would like to ask if the negroes expect the whites to remain quiet so long as they are meeting in the dead hours of night for the purpose of drilling, which Is a threat within itself. We believe that It is within the power of the leading citizens and au thorities of Athens to put a stop to these proceedings, if they take prompt action now—but delay is daugerous. Can any one say 'that the Banner- Watchman is creating an unnecessa ry alarm when armed blacks are nightly drilling at our doors, threat ening the lives of our wives and little ones? Is It better to remain silent until their plans are all formed, when bloodshed will be inevitable? A little firmness now will remedy this troub le and can restore peace and order without.bloodshed or strife—but ; if these demonstrations are not checked a dark tyay for Athens is ahead. Will our citizens stand back and let this disregard of law^proceed, or will they enforce the statutes .and have a cer tain peace restored? ; ' A Report.—Madam Rumor says that Col- J. T. M. Haire, of Lexington, will soon,be married to » widow lady in Athens, and that his mission in tho city yesterday was to see if he could not prevail on some of her friends to relieve him of the responsibility of raising the seven children, to which he will fall heir at the same time.

No road in the United States has as good.” “Are you getting the track in good condition?” The best sort. I am having the work done thoroughly as I go, and when I get over it, will have the best line in Georgia. I don't leuve a poor bar or a bad cross-tie. Athens will soon have a road of which she may yell be proud.” “What sort of rolling stock have yon got now?” The best that oan be made, and we will add to it as fast as needed. There is not a safer road in the country than the North-Eastern.” “Been up the extension lately?” “Yes; jnst got back the other day.
