Yesterday afterooon some time duriug the absence of Mrs. Browne from her dwelling, some one entered the house from the back door, after having un loosed the latch. The butter disli was left in the middle of the room, the bed was mashed, and a few other things moved from their proper places, but no thing was taken away. Col. Sullivan says it is a case of simple curiosity. Mrs. W. A. Wright. AVith great regret we announce the death of Mrs. Wm. A. Wright, wife of the state Comptroller General, which oc¬ curred in Atlanta last Wednesday morn¬ ing at ti o’clock. She was the niece of Mrs. Sullivan, of this place, wife of the former proprietor of this paper. She was siek only two weeks, but died per¬ fectly resigned and conscious to the last. We sympathise deeply with Capt. Wright in his sad bereavement. There are five small prattling children left motherless, and we feel for them. Wlio ^inill Sing, if not tiie Children I Yes, and play too, for that matter, but how it does cost to keep them in music. So it does, but why pay thirty to fifty cents |>er piece for music when you can get it for oue-tentli the sum by subscrib¬ ing for the Southern Musical Journal, which costs only $1.25 yearly, and brings you every month one dollar’s worth of Music, vocal and instrumental, and the best that is published. Besides this, the publishers give every subscriber as a pre¬ mium, one dollar’s worth of sheet music of tlieir owu selection. Remit $1.25 and you can get the Journal for a whole year • and $1.00 worth of any music you want. A specimen copy will be sent for ten cents in jostage stamps.

Linton Stephens who has been attending lectures in the Medical Col lege at Augusta, has returned to Craw fordville, and called to see us yesterday, Mr. Quintus Richards formerly of this place but now of liainburg S. C. is here this week. Mr. J. ii. Neel of Raytown who is canvassing the county ter the Pictorial Family Bible of the National Publishing Co. called to see us yesterday. M. T. Gorham and George W. Farmer have gone to Atlanta, and taken posi tions in the Post Office there. \V e wish them a pleasant life in the Gate City. Mr. Clarence Stephens, our worthy and efficient l’ost Master, we are sorry to say, is about to leave us, lie will soon accept a position as Postal Route Agent. His sister, Mrs. Corry, will doubtless be appointed to his place in the post office. Marshal Fitzsimmons went down to Augusta yesterday, but will return to Atlanta in a few days. Judge Pottle.

We know that Judge Pottle has the full respect and love of our pedple, because they know him to be both wise and just; and should some one else be placed in his position at the expiration of his term, as is too often done for political reasons, such a change will not meet the approbation or support of the people of Taliaferro county. Give us Judge Pottle, and we feel our rights are safe.

A paddle wheel has landed among us, and just as Superior Court is in session, Verily, the men think, perhaps, that it is lawful to run such machines. They have not as yet scooped in many of the American ducats. Yesterday Mr. Sullivan former pro¬ prietor of the Democrat was seated beside Judge l’ottle on the bench, when he received the following note : “We the jury object to you sitting as Judge upon this court.” L. B. TAYLOR. Foreman Mr. Wm N ‘ Gunn ’ Sr '!. a citizen here ’ _„ as 0 returning . to . , town last 1 hursday, , and was seated m a buggy leading a horse behind, when the horse in front being frightened at something, jumped and thus Mr. G mm was jerked violently against . the back of the buggy, and , two , or three of his ribs were fractured. He still suffers very much and can hardly get about. As may be observed, the advertisement of Michael & Co., the concern in Atlanta proposing to send watches to any <-< *2.60, prMd *1.00 I. mm m advance to guarantee payment of express charges, is left out of this paper. The Solicitor General in Atlanta has some papers, also, policeman M. M. --— — Last Saturday attemoon a negro man was caught in the act of making way with a coat from the store of Mr. K. C. Williams, lie ran down the street in front of the Democrat office when, being jicrsued, be flung the coat to the breeze and thus disincumbered made swifter speed. Mr. Williams had a pistol [toiuted at the fleeing thief, hut i it hung fire until the negro was so far gone that when it did go off the mark was missed. A new and beautiful chandelier orna¬ ments the Baptist church in this place. It was presented to the church by Mr. Caspar Myers, one of the most enter¬ prising merchants of Crawfordville—as will be perceived by the large advertise¬ ment he has in The Democrat. Acts of benevolence like this makes Mr. Myers popular, and brings him much trade. The church called a conference and passed a vote of thanks to Mr. Myers for his elegant present.

Last summer when the question was in every one’s mind whether the Orescent City was again to be afflicted with yellow fever, the whole country was startled by the an¬ nouncement that among its half dozen or more victims were first tho lovely young wife of the brave Confederate General J. 15. Hood, followed by the death of the General himself, leaving ton little babes to tire cold mercies of the world. The women of the South and North alike arose to this appeal to their charity and a subscription list was opened, but The with no great result compara hvfv Lite .warrior was on the point of publishing Ins United .Narrative of Personal Ex perience in the stv.t.*«ffni,e Con federate states Armies.

There is one thing we think deserving „f mention as being important, and it is, that there is not a prisoner in the jail. .The attendance has been very good.

As the sable curtains of night were being drawn close around the earth, we pulled up at Mr. G. Cosby’s, and asked for a night’s entertainment. We received an old fashioned Georgia welcome, If you know what that is. We were treated to the best, and were highly entertained. We were the first person, singular or NV is(>, on the court ground. Presently, arrived! Judge Veazey and liis bailiff We could see at aglance that he had law on the brain, and stern justice was lurk¬ ing in bis eye. llis Honor sternly said, “Open Court, Mr. Bailiff.” Mr. Baliff stepped promptly to the door, and “O yea, O yea,” went rat¬ tling across the old field, ami died away like the laugh of a hundred ghosts down in the bottom, among the pines. The first case was announced, and as defend¬ ants were not present, his Honor directed Mr. Baliff to call William Lightfoot.
