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, when,fill company with Mr. Moyny- ban, and having the blessed sacra' ment with him, he started to Lexing ton.

The poor old mau expressed great gratitude for the visit from his priest, who prom ised to come again soon and make sdhie provision tor his future cate and support. Alas' liow little did the good man think how soon he would be called home, to reap the reward lor a life of Christian charity and de voted service to his Master!

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 interest, we have determined to es tablish a Banner News-Box at Long’s Drug Store, which is about DEUPREE OPERA HOUSE FALL AND WINTER Bec’r 13 and 20.

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.

Orr, State S -hool Commissioner, he had 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 kin and others spoke earnestly in tavor of the measure. The meeting then adjourned, sub ject to a call of tho Mayor- J. JI. Rucker, Ch’n. E. R. Hodgson, Sooty.

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 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 day morning. They are to be buried this morning.
