The whole city was greatly shocked
Monday by the news of the drown
ing of the Rev. Father B. J, Doyle
a Catholic pries' who serves the
church here, and Mr. Moynyhan, a
salesman in the store of Mr. J. M.
Cray. The facts, as far as we have
been enabled to gather them at this
writing, are as follows: Father Doyle,
wlie, we believe, resides at Sharon, iii
Taliaferro comity, visits the Catholic
Church at Athens twice a month, and
in accordance with this custom was
here last Sunday morning, and met
the members ot the church at the
usual hour, and after a brief service
announced that lie could not preach
to them that morning, as he had to
go to Lexington to visit an old man
who was renorled to bo dying,
and who had sent for him. It
was about 11 or 12 o’clock. Sunday,

We were pleased to receive a visit
Tlr.ir.-d .y from Col. W. L. Goldsmith,
and to see him looking so well. It
was the first time he had been in
Athens since the eai ly part of 1861,
eighteen years ago, and he was of
course greatly surprised and pleased
at the growth of the city since then.
He was at that time a member of the
Lumpkin Law School, and it was
from this place that he went to the.
army, which had no truer soldi*r than!
he was. J

and makes as valuable a citizen as he

the visit from his priest, who prom
ised to come again soon and make

good man think how soon he would
be called home, to reap the reward
lor a life of Christian charity and de

was raining very hard. Dr. W. in

declined, saying be wanted to reach

of the streams on the regular road—
which he doubted not were very high
—aud advised him that it he did at

road that led by Winterville, which

A Convenient Receptacle for All Yon Know.
We are satisfied fithat 1 it is very
probable that not a, day passes when
some of our readers do not,come- into
possession of some fact, some item of
news, something that has happened
or is going to happen, the knowledge
of which would be interesting to the
public, or a sufficient nart of it to
justify publication. We are also
satisfied that matters of this sort fre
quent y fail to reach the public be-
cause ol the inconvetrence attending
the communication ot them to those
who e business it is to publish the
news Athens is a large place—a city
in its number of inhabitants, and more
of a city in its broad dimensions. It is
a city of only less magnificent di*
taiiccs than Washington City, and
therefore it is that the Athenian who,
in one part of the city three or four
miles from the Banner office, conics
into possession of a bit of intelligence
that would interest the public, con
fines it» circulation to himself and
the circle immediately around him,
ami so with the citizen three or fodf
miles from the j Banker office, in an
opposite direction from that in which
the. citizen of the first part lives. We
should not be surprised, either, if the
danger attendant upon a trip up the
flight ot steps leading to the sanctum
is really one serious obstacle in the
way of the bringing of news to it,
and, as it is impossible lor our reporter
to be ubiquitous, be foils to see the
worthy citizens aforesaid, and, as a
consequence, they remain in sole,
selfish and undivided possession of
knowledge, news, gossip, or (who
knows T) possibly an idea that our
thousands of readers are languishing
for, and are entitled to.
To obviate, then, all obstacles in
the way of a prompt, rapid, .universal
ditsemination of any item of public

A NEGRO DROWNED NEAR TOWN.
Yesterday afternoon, as Mr. Wra.
Long and a negro whose name we
have not learned, ware driving in a
buggy by McGinty’s brick*yard on
Dr. Long’s place, about two miles
from town, they by some means ot
other got into the excavation, where
the depth of the water was so great
that the negro was drowned. Mr.
Long, with the horse and buggy, got
oat of the water.
ANOTHER DROWNING REPORTED.
We also learn that • negro mau was
drowned yesterday in Big Creek, near
Big Creek meeting-home, some eight
or nine miles below the city. The
particulars reported are that lie and a
in Guilford co. circuit North Car-
lina in 1808, in which he i-ndi-d bis
labors and sorrows together, on the
20tli day of August 1808, at the
house ot Robert Gilbraetli, after an
illness jf about two weeks, said to be
nervous fever. For some time before
bis death lie appeared to have some
intimations on Ids mind, that the time
of lus departure was not far distant.
A few wteks previous to his sickness,
he went home, to his father’*, erected
a stand at tlie graveyard, and to Ids
old friends and acquaintance preached
his own funeral, and after his death
was carried home and buried there,
lie was an elder in the church of
God; was about thirty years of age,
and had for several years professed
sanctification, and tlie full assurance
of hope: in his deportment and con
versation very serious, with some ap-
pearanee of a dejemed mind, but
very circumspect in his walk During
his sickness he-manifested great pa
tience; and although at times, by
reasou of his fever, he was delirious,
be would shout and pray, exhort and
praise God to the last. Thus triumph
ant did our beloved brother Henly
leave the clmreh militant to join the

learned that education in the Normal
School iv.-is not only free, but that
every student would receive (200 per
annum for the purpose of defraying
his expenses.
Dr. Mell then, in a few pointed're
marks, said that it was not so mnch
a question of xvhat Athens would gain
by securing this school, as it was what
Athens would lose hr not securing
it. Tlie advantages offered to-sto-
dents were of such a nature that, lo
cated elsewhere, onr own colleges
would suffer severely. ”
Dr. II. H. Carlton slated to the
meeting that i: would be necessary to
raise a sum, by private subscription,
sufficient to pay off the present in
debtedness of the Lucy Cobb Insti
tute, and equip it an-t tlie Rock Col
lege in a suitable manner, and moved
that a committee of three, to be se
lected by the chair, lie appointed to
raise the necessary amount, about nk
thousand dollars.
Col. Mitchell then moved that the
Mayor and Council be instructed by
the meeting that when a sufficient
sum was thus raised, that an agent
should be appointed by that body to
take immediate charge of the matter
and push it forward with energv.
Major Lamar Cobb, Prof. Lump

of drift-wood was seen. Stranded
upon this, with one hand clutched to
a stump, was the body of Mr. Moyni-
hao ; while washed above the water,
upon another pile of litter, was all
that remained of the priest. His feet
and legs were entangled in the lines,
and he was bound by them to the
dead body of the horse, which lay
near him in the water. It is thought
from the position ot the bodies that
Father Doyle attempted to jump out
when he saw the danger, but his feet
becoming entangled in the lines lie
not only drowned himself hut the
animal also. In his struggles the
father bit his own arm. Father Doyle
was about 24 years old and Mr, Moy- I
nit in 40. The sad accident lias cast
i “I—•in over ouri-ounlry. at the fear-
I tut •h-.-uli of llu-se gentlemen, who
•li---1 in the discharge of their Cliris-
: mil duty.
The Bodies „|‘ the Drowned,
T e bodies of Father Doyle and
Mr. Moynilian remained at Mr. Raf
ferty's, Monday night, and were
placed on the train Tuesday morning
to be conveyed to Washington,
Wilkes county, for burial. A Catholic
convent is at that place, and a Home
for Orphan Boys, in charge «f the
Catholic Sisters. Sharon; which was
Father Boyle’s place of residence, is
hut about 10 or 15 miles from Wash
ington. A priest was to meet the
remains at Barnett, and go with them
to Washington t perform the last
sad rites.
Persoas who saw the bodies after
they were brought back to the city
say they had nonof the usual ap
pearance of tlie dead except the rigid
ness. They were placed in warm
water till the rigidity was relaxed,
and then they seemed as if only
quietly resting in sleep—no distortion
et the features was apparent, nor
even the pallor of death.
There is no doubt that they were
drowned almost immediately after
being thrown from the buggy. It was
a small, close top buggy, easily to he
upset, and ihey were muffled in over
coats gnd blankets, or shawls, which
so cumbered them as to prevent the
freedom of action that might have
saved them. But they were so sud
denly whelmed in the water that they
had no time nor chance to disencum
ber their limbs and bodies, and
drowning must have ensued at once.
As slated in our rcpoit yesterday
morning, Father Doyle had evidently
become entangled about the shafts or
harn’ess wheu he was thrown nut.
We learn that they left Crawford
at r. u., Sunday, and that in
the Dreat pocket of Father Doyle’s
overcoat was found the watch that
Mr. Lafferty had lent hint, ami the
bands wwre stopped at 7:18, which
was, then, most pfobabty, the time
they were thrown into the creek.
Father Doyle’s age was twenty-foor,
instead of thirty, *s we mated Testers

this morning. Peace be with tlie
