Athens Aroused by the Fren zy-of an Enraged Wom- an—An Exciting Epi sode in the Journal- . ism of Our City. ‘•You have published something about me in ynui paper,” answered Jane. Mr.Holsey insisted he did not know her, had Hover seen lu-r and kn ing about hi-r, and cause of her attack lies a lnvsteryAt . •Jane Young was tried before t Jndge Dougherty tor and sentenced to three years in the peniten- t'ary. She served* out her t< rm, was rcltas* d, hut her subsequent history is not rt corded. About the lime of this occurrence .politics were at fevi r heat A Whig oved a Whig because he was & Whig, n l hated a Democrat, because he was a Democrat • The Southern Banner was . then and has always beeu the I staunchest Demo cratic . piper,, and in subsequent edit irials Mr; IL.-lsey accused the Whigs of having . instigated the attack of Jane Young, in order to get him out of the way. The Democrats were for years thereafter called in derision, the Tugalo party. Thus ends a recital of a stirring day in Journalism in Athens. ANNUAL CONVENTION " Athens has never Bean mire s irred "than on a sultry afternoon in July, 1850, and all by a woman. A’, that time the •late Hon. Hopkins Holsey, an ex-Cor.- -gressman, whose widbw u»w lives iu Atlanta, was editor of the Southern Banner. His office was over the store now occupied by J. H. Bug -ins, but in 7 50 by .Dr. J. G» Orr and M*\ A. F, Mandeville, the two doors having a partition between them. . . . As the merchants sat qiretly iu th“n •dull Athens, they were attracted bv a fejnale, dashing down the Southern side of Broad street, with a half open ptra- sol in the position of ‘ Make Ready,” in military parlance. She rushed up the *’eps leading to the Banner offiee and into the edit r*s private olfice r where the late Howell C. Flournoy wis reading. She screamed out: “Are you the proprietor of this insti ll on?” Alarmed by her excited manner, Mr. Flournoy promptly replied: “No, but you will find the foreman in the next room.” Off she dashed into the composing roan, where she found Mr. T. S. Rev nolds, the foreman of the oflice, at his case. Walking up to him, she repeat ed: “Are you the proprietor of this in stitution ?” “N<\” replied lie, “but I can attend to anything you wish.” Quick as thought she k-veled her para sol on him and prosing it against bis right side, puibd the trigger of a long horse pistol,which was concealed there in. The b ill struck a rib and glanced round his body, passing on into the wall behind. Terrified,Reynolds scream-. ed out, “Oh ! Lord, I’m sho», I’m shot, a woman has shot toe.” Mis cries spread cons ernation through out the office and the printers dashed for the door. As each one pissed, the frenzied woman, who was none other than Jane Young, of Tugalo, made a thrust at them with a glittering Bowie "knife. The prinicis were Jim Bird, Joe Braselton and V.P. Sisson now of At lanta. Bird rushed down the st-’ps and into the office of Dr. J. G. Orr, who asked him, “What in the wo: Li’s the matter, what are yon running from?” “From a woman,” he excitedly re plied. “And why are you running from a woman?’’ “D—n you, you’ld run too, if that will creature up stairs was after yuu.” Reynolds bad caught fire from the pistol, and in a few moments, he too came rushing down the steps, c r ying: “J’in burning up, l’tn burning up.” A'ter clearing the office, Jane Young •came d'inu, end in her thir-t for .prin ters’ blood, took the streets and ad dressed everv one she met with, “Arc you a printer?” The first gentleman she came t» was Prof. T. P. Pond, now of Tocco*. “Areyou a printer?” she asked. “‘No Madam,” he politely replied, '“I’m only a professor ia the col- • lege.” Next she met Uncle Dick Saul ter, '■who is a regular Chesterfield. “Are you a printer,” she asked. “No, madam, I’m nothing at all bat a ■qtoor stage driver.’’ The suavity of manner of those Jane encountered, was doubtless affected by the Bowie knifejshe flashed in one hand, and the pistol she held aloft m the other. Up and down Broad street Jane •strided. As she faced iitone direction everybody darting into doors and be hind counters, to peer" out again and •watch toe frantic woman wben she burned her hack. Soon the marshal, the late W. H. Dor . sey, who, by the way was as clever a man as ever guarded a village, came up -to arrest Jane. As be passed down the street, he heard a countryman jeering the crowd for not arresting a woman Mr. Dorsey promptly accosted him, say- ring : “I have the authority to summons anyone to assist me in makiug an ar rest. I therefore call on you.” The countryman made a break through Dr. •Orris store, and nevet returned to Athens for months. At length Jane was captured; but with arms held down, she continued to -snap that terrible pistol, aad Mr. Dor sey often remarked thit the bore i-looked like a cannon’s month. Her person was searched and another qnstol found in her boot. As she was bring taken to the guard house Mr. Holsey met her just at Barry’s corner, “What in the world is the matter?” asked he, “‘I would have shown you d—n quick, if I had found you in your office,’’ re plied J sue. “What’s the matter?” repeated Mr. Holsey.

Witness my haud and s*al. J A. Hunnicut, Mayor. Odd Numbers in American History. As public attention is now much di rected to American history, I have been led to notice i>s strange preponderance of odd numbers. First there is the three- fold < occurrence of seven—for instance, America is spelledjwith seven^letters,the number of commissioners who first met for union against Indians was seven, and then the revolution was a war of seven years, whose annals included throe sevens, which only occurs once in a thousand years. Looking at other odd numbers, the Albany congress was ordered in 1753. Its number was twenty-three, and it began on the 19th of June and closed the 11th of July. Sir WiJiam Johnson defeated the French at Lake George in 1785. The stamp act congress (as it was called; contained twenty-seven members. It met in New York October 7, 1765, and its platform and principal papers are dated October 19. James Otis, one of the members, had begun resistance by his opposition to the British government in 1761. The destruction of tea in Bos ton harbor occurred in 1773, and hos tilities began in 1775. The number of colonies was thirteen, and the number of letters in our rational motto (E Plu- ribus Unutr), is the same. The most sensational battles occurred on odd days. Lexington, for instance, was on April 19, and Bunker Hi 1 on the 17th of June. Montgomery’s un fortunate attack on Quebec occurred December 31. The year, in which the odd numbers cccured in the most strik ing manner (1777) brought the greatest number of battles. Burgoyne’s worst defeat occurred in October 7, 1777, and be surrendered on the 17th. Wayne stormed Stony Point July 15. 1779. This was the most brilliant bayonet as sault during the whole war. The vic tory at COwpens was won January 17, 1781, and on the 19th of the next Octo ber Cornwallis surrendered. The treaty of peace was signed Septem ber 3, 1783.—Hartford Evening Post.

Todd Lincoln was informed that be had been nominated for the English mission, he told a re porter that he wasn’t at all certain that be could abandon his business affairs in order to enter the diplomatic service. The impression he sought to convey was that he was fairly overwhelmed with business. In less than a week, however, he showed up in Washington, and informed the President that ho was ready to start for England. He would have started, too, bad not Brother Blaine vetoed the scheme. “No,” said Brother Blaine, “you must wait until the English representative arrives in this country.” This was the Hou. P. Todd Lincoln’s first lesson in diploma cy, and tho minister plenipotentiary to the court of St. James is now doing his best to kill time until the date of his departure arrives. All of a sudden his important busimfs affairs have been dis posed of and forgotten. Mr . Lincoln’s friends in Chicago are greatly mortified because no steps have been taken here to tender that gentle man some public mark of esteem, and of appreciation of the honor conferred by the President upon one of our citi zens. While they recognize that Mr. Lpncoln is by no means the kind of man that endears himself to his townsmen, they think that under the circumstances an expression of good-will should be given. Accordingly they are liostMng about very busily, and will probablv succeed in getting up a farewell dinner or some demonstration of a similar character. j The Verdict Unanimous W. D. Suit, Druggist, Bippus, Ind., testifies: “1 can recimmi-nd Electric Hitters as the very best remedy. Every bottle sold has given relief in every case. One man took six bottles, and was cured of Rheumatism of 10 years’ standing.’’ Abraham Hare, druggis% B; llvill ’, Ohuyrifirms: “The best sel - mg m dicine I have ever bandied in my 20 years’ experience, is Electric Bit ters.” Thousands of others have added their testimony, so that the verdict is unanimous that JClectnc Bitters do cure all diseases of the Liver, Kidneys or Blood.
