OF THE 1TH DISTRICT.
The chairmanship of the execu
tive committee of the Sth district
having been made vacant by the
death of the late Gen. D. M. Du-
Dose, and no successor having been
• elected, it is deemed advisable to
call a meeting of the committee in

May 14th,. to select the time and
place for holding the congressional
convention, and the transaction ol
other business that may come before
them. J. P. Shannon

EIGHTH* DISTRICT CONVENTION.
J We to-day • publish a call for a
meeting of the executive committee
of the Sth district, in the city of
Athens, on Wednesday, May 14th
The call is signed by Col. J. P,
Shannon, of Elbert, and that gen
tlcman was requested to take this
step by a majority of the members
of said body. We hope that every
county in the district will be rcpre
stnted, as it js highly important
that the democracy of this section
at the first step, should begin work
in the most harmouious manner.
Athens has no axe to. grind, and the
members can convene here and
hold their deliberations free from
any outside influences or lobbying-
Our little city will entertain the vis
itors handsomely, and every door
will be open to them. Athens is
the most central railway point in
thej district, and accessible to all
the counties. We ask the demo
cratic press to give publicity to this
call.

A confinement of sixty years,
which was the result of insanity—a
secret kmg.kept from the public—
says a Huntington, Pa., special, ter
minated here yesterday in the death
of Daniel Hawn, in Juniata town
ship, six miles from this city. He
had been confined since 1S23 by
his brothers, and was eighty-four
years old. The maniac was one of
five brothers who, when young men,
worked together on their father’s
farm. His malady is said to have
been caused by drinking from a
cool stream while overheated in
harvest time. He was immediately
confined by his brothers, and was
ever afterward totally excluded
from the world. But once during
that time did he regain his
freedom, and that was about fifty
years ago, when he succeeded in es
caping from the house. He was
soon captured and returned to nis
imprisonment. The room in which
he was kept was of small dimensions,
with but one window, and to pre
vent him from reaching the latter
he was chained in an oypysite cor-
ne. A stove was placed in a small
opening in the partition, with the
front facing into the hall, so that
fires could be made without enter
ing the room. His brothers remain
ed unmarried and lived together,
accumulating money and property,
which they held in common. Two
of them survive, and are the owners
of 900 ac.es in the township.

Unrequlttod Lore Prompts Him to a Suicidal At

Troy, April 22.—The residents
of Albia and Ida Hill are enjoying
a local sensation caused by the at
tempted suicitle of a book agent
through disappointment in an affair
of the heart. The young lady is
one ot the village belles, and the
book agent a willing victim to her
charms. He was a frequent caller
and pressed his suit with marked
ardor. A few days ago he learned
that a rival was endeavoring to win
the young lady’s hand, and accord
ingly the bookman watched the
house until he saw the visitor de
part and then rushing into the hall
way, fell at the young lady’s feet,
declared his passion and asked her
to become his wife. The young
lady was unmoved by his passionate
appeal, and after excusing herself
started upstairs to her room, which
she entered quickly and locked the
Juor. Finding bis rfTorts to win
the maiden’s love unavailing, the
book agent dashed up the stair
case, and just as the door closed on
his face he shot himself in the right
side. He was seriously but not
dangerously wounded. A letter
was found on him in which he de
clared that death was preferable to
living without the object of his
heart’s affection. On the following
day he sent a letter to the young la
dy appealing to her to come to his
“dying bedside,” but even this fail
ed to move her, the reply being that
she did not propose either to visit
or to accept his visits if he recover

Banner-Watchman: As you know,
I witnessed the performance of Lu

consequence, I have since been
thinking about the power she un
doubtedly possesses, and my impres
sion is that either by disease, or
some other abnormal condition of
her system, she is in a state of elec
trical excitement, that gives her the
power of a battery, combined with
animal magnetism, which deprives
any amount of animal material of its
weight, by neutralizing the attrac
tion of gravitation with electricity,
S rovided she has a partial tion con-
uctor, between her and this animal
material.
Electricity counteracts the attrac

must in some degree neutralize it,

scored but 2:iS, it would have troub
led even Maud S. or Jay-Eye-See

he went lame, lost his prestige

about town, put up and ratfied
away, after which it was thought
that he had retired into permanent
oblivion, and now he appears as the

weight when he carries a blanket,

GENERAL,’ NEWS.
Mr. Beecher’s form consists of •'
acres, and is carried on on strict sci
entific principles. He never" puts
in any part of a crop without con
sulting hig book. He plows and
reaps and digs and sows according
to the best authorities, and tbe au
thorities cost more than the other
forming implements do. As soon
as the library is complete the form
will begin to be a profitable invest
ment But book learning has its
draw backs. Upon one occasion,
when it seemed morally certain that
the hay ought to be cut the hay-
book could not be found, and before
it was found it was too late, and
the hay was all spoiled. Mr. Beech
er raises some of the finest crops of
wheat in the country, but the unfa
vorable difference between the cost
of producing it and its market value
after it is produced has interfered
considerably with its success as a
commercial enterprise. His special
weakness is hogs, however. He
considers hogs the best game a
farm produces. He buys the orig
inal pig for $1.50 and feeds him $40
worth of corn, and then sells him for.
about $9. This is the only crop he
ever makes money on. He loses on
-the corn, but he makes $7.50 on the
the hog. He does not mind this,
because he never expects to make
anything on corn. And, anyway it
turns out, he has the excitement of
raising the hog whether be gets the
worth of him or not. His straw
berries would be a comfortable sue
cess if the robins would eat turnips,
but they won’t, and hence the diffi
culty.
One of Mr. Beecher’s most har
assing difficulties in his farming op
erations come of the close resem
blance of different sorts of seeds and
plants to each other. Two years
ago his far-sightedness warned him
that there was going to be a great
scarcity of watermelons, and there
fore he put in a crop of twenty-sev
en acres of that fruit, but when they
came up they turned out to be
pumpkins, and a dead loss was the
consequence. Sometimes a portion
of his ciop goes in the ground the
most promising sweet potatoes, and
comes out the infernalest carrots—
though I have never heard him ex
press it in that way. When he
bought the farm he found one egg
in every hen’s nest on the place. He
said that here was just the reason so
many farmers failed; they scattered
their forces too much; concentra
tion was the idea. So he gathered
those eggs together, and put them
under one experienced hen. That
hen roosted over that contract night
and day for eleven weeks, under the
anxious personal supervision of Mr.
Beecher himself, but she could not
“phase” those eggs. Why? Be
cause they were those infamous por
celain things which are used by in
genius and fraudulent farmers as
“nest eggs.” But perhaps • Mr.
Beecher’s most disastrous exp e- _
ence was the time he tried to ra e Straight Cllt NO 1

DESTRUCTION OF BIRDS.
Wright square was again the
death-bed of many of our birds of
beautiful plumage, especially the
nonpareil. A sergeant .of the police
force, who passed by that place this
morning, says he saw dozens of cats
and birds preying on the birds,
many of which fver.e only stunned
by foe electricity. The wires .and
the light prove fatal to these birds
in * singular manner, even .cat-birds
and sparrows. It is also reported
that at Tybee dozens of docks and
geese are kitted nigbto by flying
against tbe lights, while jn some in
stances the velocity that tfee Jjepvy
bodies ot these birds attain pas b.eep
known to break portions of .the
lights. It is said that the glass m
the lighthouse is valued at several
hundred dollars.—Savannah Times,
