GEORGIA NEWS. Cleaning* and Wfnnowings from our State Ex changes. t'oltinibus rejoices in the pooSsession of a female orchestra. The Tunes thinks that a little practice will render it very proficient. There are in Chatham county jail ighty-l’our prisoners, of whom thirty four daily serve on the chain gang, and there is not a case of sickness among the munbei. Gridin has received fifty bales of new cotton so far. By this time last year the receipts there were about live hundred bales. This is evidfpceof the backward ness of the crop. Several car loads of iron have arrived in Columbus for the North and South railroad. The time specified .for com pleting the grading owr Fine Mountain . October Ist,, and at that time the work of laying the track will he begun. Col. Willis A. Hawkins, of Americas, was seriously hurt about live miles from that town, a few days ago, by his horse running away with him as he wits re turning from Dooley court. The Repub lican does not mention the extent of in in juries. * The Augusta Xeics say- that near Per kins A IJro.’s mills in Seriven county, on Saturday hist, a negro, Watt Bennett, -tubbed and killed another negro because ihe latter owed him a gambling debt of ten cents. The murderer fled, and has not yet been arrested. The managers of the Athens fair, which comes off in October, are putting forth every effort to make the exhibition a success. Several fine running and t rotting horses are already on the grounds undergoing training for the races on that occasion. The Athens Banner appeals to its fel low-citizens to set to and build anew ho tel there, so that Athens may he made a line summer resort. It claims that tlie advantages offeree 1 by that town for such a resort are not excelled by any other lo e dity in the state. .Jordan Sheats, the negro who murder ed Mr. John. T. Ledbetter, in Madison county, on the night of February 24. 1579, and who made his escape and was captured a short time ago in West Vir ginia, was last week tried and convicted before Judge Pottle. He was sentenced t lc hung on the 24tli of October next* On the 4th, Charlie Johnson, of Harris county, waked up and, turning over his pillow, found a ground rattlesnake coil ed under it. The snake was about three met long, and escaped, although there w ere seven or eight men in the shanty w ho-aw it. A large rattlesnake six feet -ix incues long was killed at the same place the day before. We see from the Harmony Grove Progress that at the last week’s session of t lie Madison superior court live negro hoys, charged with “Ku-Kluxing” or w hipping in a terrible manner an old ne gro man and his wife, some few months ago, were tried. The burden of evidence being against them, they were found guilty and sentenced to twelve months each, in the chain gang. A correspondent writes to the Atlanta Dispatch from Aeworth that on the night of the Bth inst. some parties broke into the store of Messrs. Pyrou & Armstrong, of that place, and stole about ten dollars worth of goods. They would have car ried off much more, but a negro man who had been to a meeting in the coun try happened to ride into the town while they were at work, and they became alarmed and ran off. Two Atlanta boys met a stranger on tie* streets recently and endeavored to raise a ly;ht with him. The stranger, be ingof a peaceable turn of mind, begged them to let him alone. They persisted in their efforts to get up a disturbance, however, when he got. mad and “lit into them.” lie knocked them down one al ter the other in rapid succession, and they pronounced themselves satisfied. They didn’t bother that stranger any more. Major John A. Crawford, of Athens, died tn that city from hemorrhage of the lungs on Wednesday last. He was about fifty years of age, and is said to have been the first state senator elect from that district after the adoption of the present system of senatorial districts. He was a son of the late Major John Crawford, <>f Athens, and a grandson of Hon. Wm. 11. Crawford, who at one time came so near being elected president. Georgia Advocate: “A few days since an ear (or ears) of corn was shown us by Mr. William Wh<*lchel that surpasses anything we have been allowed to sec. It is a full, large well-termed ear of corn, with six smaller around it, all under one -buck. The phenomenon in corn, wo suppose, was caused by the corn (after the first growth) taking a second growth, w hich formed the ears around the cen tral one. It was raised by Mr. Henry McPherson, living about a mile from this place. It will l>e sent to the fair.” Marietta Journal: “A ear load of lime from Chattanooga was placed on the sidling here for one of our merchants, and when the colorod man, Dolphus, un locked and opened the door, out jumped a tramp, a white man, whose dotes were coved with lime, looking as scary as Ban quo’s ghost. The sudden and unexpect ed appearance of this individual was such a complete surprise that the colored man was overcome with fright. The tramp hid in the car at Chattanooga and was locked up by the agent, and had been without food and water for some time. His release was joy, and lie wanted to know at once how far lie was from At lanta ” Atlanta Dispatch: “A few days ago a farmer named Brown, living a few miles in the country, came into town to get supplies. W hile conversing with the shopkeeper he said he was a widower with three children, and if he come across the right sort of a woman he’d marry her to take care of his home and children. The shopkeeper mentioned the name of a widow at 43 Powers street, Mrs. Martha Wawiek, and represented her as being capable in every way of making a good wife, a good housekeeper, and a good mother to his children. Mr. Brown asked for an introduction and re ceived it. The next day he called spent a considerable portion of the day in storming the citadel. The day there after the two were made one, and happi ness reigns in the Warsaw of that baili wick.” Regarding absenteeism in the house, the Atlanta Dispatch says: “The list of absentees in the house is not so great late ly. There are at present only a few members absent, and the greater part of these are away on account of sickness. It is a natural consequence upon the late extremely heated season and the daily sessions of the body since the second day of July, that considerable indisposition must prevail among the members. To those who have visited the gallery of the house and have observed the many va cant seats below, we will say that there are now, in pursuance to resolutions of the house, five investigating committees constantly at work—four of which are cun posed of nine members and the other <>f live. The duties of these committee men' necessarily absent them from the uousehousoL. This even does not include the seven managers of the impeachment trial in the senate. There is a line work ing majority in the house, and every -1 hing progresses in a business-like man ner. exeopt when the clerk because some members are too lazy to vote upon either one side or the other of a question, or are lounging around in the gepate listen ing to the impeach urea t trial.” TIIE CAUSES OF AGRICULTURAL DEPRESSION IN ENGLAND. It is stated by -competent authorities that the average cost of growing wheat in England is 475. (sd. to 48s. per quarter, and that American wheat can lx? deliver 'd at Liverpool with a margin of 4s. for profit for 355. per quarter. Also that the Ymerican farmer can supply the Liver pool meat market without loss at some thing under a pound, while the English farmer cannot do as much at than 7%d. A pound. Against such comj petition tne English farmers are fighting with the pluck which characterizes the race, but the odds are so great that crush ing defeat seems inevitable. It is for this reason that representatives of the parlia mentary coin mission appointed to cou sirler the agricultural depression in Eng land have come to this country to learn its agricultural resources and methods. (Tn Saturday Clare Sewell Read and Al bert Pell, members of the house of com mons, the commissioners who are to study American farming, landed at New York. Both of these gentlemen are tenant far mers, and thus belong to that class in England from which the burden of com plaints come. They are to glean facts in this country and to report them to the royal commission, in order to aid that body in reaching ah intelligent and com prehensive conclusion. Their purpose is to study agriculture on the farm, or, in the words of one of the commissioners as reported by a New York journol, “to trace a bushel of seed corn from the farmer’s hands to the time it reaches tbo English mouths.” The commission comprises a number of large landowners, at least eight hun dred thousand acres being represented by owners. Among its numbers are the duke of G'ueeleugh, the duke of Rich mond and Gordon, Earl Spencer, Mr. Gosrheu and Bonamy Price. It is hard ly thought tlie commission will be ready to report until two years have gone by. One of the commissioners is reported as saying that American fruit and fresh veg etables are beginning to find their way to the English markets, and that avert' large trade is to spring up in this direc tion. The report of these gentlemen, as well as that of the main commission, can not fail to be be of exceeding interest to the United States. If, says the Philadelphia Record, the continuance of American competition means the overthrow of the British land ed gentry, the outlook cannot but be re garded with trepidation by the entire English speaking race. It will be a so cial revolution, from which a class that have done so much for civil liberty as the English landowners should be spared. It is earnestly hoped that measures may be found for averting such a catastrophe. EUGENIE’S WEALTH. A London letter says/ “The ex-Em press of France is said to be one of the richest widows in England. In addition to her Hungarian estate she has a castle in Spain and a nice palace in Switzerland. But hard cash is what comes most useful to dethroned sovereigns who hope to re turn, and of this the Empress has long had abundance. It is estinuffed in Paris that she is worth at least a million ster ling. Only recently she sold a large block of house property in the Rue d’Al ba, in Paris, and M. Rouher’s house, a well known political centre at the corner of the Rue de l’Elyses, was hers, in her own right, and was sold last year for $15,000. The death of the Prince adds to her property, since he left to her a con siderable amount of landed property in Italy, as well a.=j the Toulouse property, bequeathed to him by the grisly General who had been equerry to the Prince when he toddled about the corriders ol rln * Tuilleries nearly three feet high and weighted with the miniature uniform of ri colonel in the Gent Garde. This vast property was no incumbrance to the Em press whilst yet she had a son to live and seneme for. It was drained pretty freely by the Bonapartist organs of the press in France. The Ordre and the Pays were lavishly supported by the Empress, and she also drew handsome checks in favor of the reduction of the Gaulois. The need for keeping these fires warm is now dead. The Empress is not likely to keep newspapers alive to work for her good cousin Jerome.” ♦ • LEADVILLE AND ITS MINES. Although but little over a year old, the centre of business population for the new silver mining districts in Colorado, contains already over ten thousand in habitants, whilst working in the mines or prospecting among the hills there is said to be eight thousand people more who look to Leadvillc for their supplies. This mountain town, or rather mining camp, for, built up with all sorts of rude struc ture- hastily improvised, it can scarcely yet be called a town, lies in the midst of the mountains 13,500 feet above the sea level. These mountains are said to teem with argentiferous galena (silver mixed with lead) and with carbonates of silver. They are already honeycombed around Leadville, with holes and shafts opened by prospectors and subsequently aban doned ; but sixty mines are paying well, and some of them aie turning out ore which are represented to be enormously rich in silver. The value of yield of sil ver up to August 1, 1879, is put at ten millions of dollars, but with the force now at work the product is estimated at a million and a half of dollars per month. Three railroads are already pushing to ward Leadville, and one has gotten with in thirty miles of it. All the mountains not yet explored are supposed to be equal ly rich iu silver, but the climate is so cold that the warmest underclothing and an overcoat are needed every day in the year, and the air is so rarified that only robust persons can breathe it with im punity. Iu Somerset county, Md., last week, a line pair of oxen, belonging to E. B. Cook, and drawing a hogshead of water, ran into a shallow ditch, in which the water was not more than a foot deep, to get a drink. When they put their heads down to drink the hogshead rolled down to the front of the cart, and with such force as to bear the muzzles of the oxen down into the water and drive the cart tongue forward and into the ditch bank in front, far enough to hold them in that position. Before they could be extri cated from the cart they had strangled to death in the water. Theex-Empress Eugenie has just pur chased of Baron Sessler-Herzinger the castle of Wasserburg, Upper Syria. The front contains one hundred and twenty two windows, and the building is over four hundred years old. She will have the ex-Khedive of Egypt as a neighbor, if be succeeds in buying of Moritz Von Bartman his castle of prank. The statue of liberty, the giftof French men to America, will he completed with in two year. The lottery;- instituted to procure the required funds has proved i successful. In height it is as tall as the column in the palace Vcndome, Paris. While Isaac R. Martindale, of Phila delphia, was drawing a check at the Girard bank in that city, on Saturday, a stranger directed his attention to a note on tiie floor, and walked off with twenty four hundred dollars.

C. CHAMBERS, which he has recently discovered, is rapidly taking the place of the old rod. 7 THE OLD PLAN] ] Ofrodding buildings—connecting the rod with the earth—has been proven unsafe, and even dangerous. The new method places the rod and points on the roof of the honse, much after the old style, with Chambers’ Improved Insulators, with no rod running down the side of the house to the earth. [RODS AN P POINTS \ Put up on Chambers' theory, operate as active agents facilitating the natural laws of electrici ty by a continuous discharge or throwing ofl' the nogative electricity, thereby neutralizing the positive in the atmosphere above, and particu larly so during a heavy thunder storm, thus re pelling a stroke instead of inviting it. In the event these points should not {throw off the negative fast enough and a stroke should take place at one of these points, it simply runs off at the other points and is disseminated in the at mosphere above where it belongs. ~T CHAMBERS’ NE W IY! ETH OP I Has been examined and thoroughly tested by scientific men, and pronounced to be the only correct principle for protection. We have accepted an agency, and arc now ready to put up rods ou the pi an of the new method.
