The Mississippi river is on a regular tare up in Illinois, and is flooding the whole country, destroying farms, stock and porperty of all kinds. Free tuition to the contrary, the State University at Athens is doing no better in the way of increased at tendance than of yore. Despite the fact that the exposition was in full blast and the best adver tised. we are glad to state that the Macon Fair, held last week, wa3 a grand success. Lots of the exhibits will be moved to the exposition. The situation in Ireland has not ira proved in the last week. The British Government is till arresting the leaders of the land league. Dublin is under martial law, and the people are be coming more discontented every day. Ex Representative Finley, of Ohio, says that Bookwalter, the Democratic candidate, was defeated by Foster bo cause a good many old line Democrats had no faith in their candidate’s De mocracy, and hence would not turn out to vote for him. Tho Alliens Watchman of last week says "let’s now call a public meeting in the interest of a railroad to Madison county.” We would suggest that it takes something else besides a meeting to make a railroad, and the people of Athens never let their desires for more railroads get any farther than a meet ing upon the subject. The Athens Watchman proposes to have a lively campaign in this Con gressional District next year, and to that end has already commenced the ■racket. Its previousness is due to the Tact that its new editor is from Aleck Stephens’ bailiwick, where the cam paigns are all one sided affairs. Up this way you can always get a " pardner” that will interest you. The recent discovery of petroleum in Northern German}' promises impor tant results, and the indications are, nccording to late advices received at the State Department, that the dis •covery will seriously interfere with our export of petroleum to Europe. Reports from our Consuls in Germany state that great success has attended the borings in the oil district. The recent gale along the coasts of England and the continent was terri bly destructive to shipping and life. The total loss is estimated at $30,000,- 000. Many lives have also been lost. There were no premonitions of the storm,-and it broke with terrific force along the coasts named. No precau tions were possible, and the damage ■done is well nigh irreparable. The Grand Jury of Franklin coun ty, at the last session of the Superior Court, recommended the improvement of the Court House. We advise them to sell out the old concern and build anew one out and out, pay the cash • down for it, and when it is done every body will be satisfied, and not until then. Franklin county can afford a good Court House, and should have it. The. statement is boldly made that among the mummies recently discov ered at Thebes is that of the identical “Pharaoh's Daughter,” who rescued the infant Moses from his dangerous hiding place in the cradle among the bulrushes. The body is that of a lady of rare beauty, and is so perfectly pre served by the embalroer's art that it appears as if only recently laid away. The coffin is decorated with mosaic work of costly stones, some of which have been chipped off by curiosity seekers. Kameses the Second, the father of this lady, is said to have had many wives, and to have been the father of more than one hundred and fifty children. It is supposed that many of his other sons and daughters are similar!}’ embalmed, and that their mummified bodies will be found among the treasures of this description which brought to light. GiioietfiA A'nvs. Athens Chronicle: *'A Mrs Bird, living near the pauper farm, had her collar bone broken, and received other serious injuries, by being run over by a cow on Wednesday night last.” Walton County News: "The son of Mr. Whit Snow, who was bitten by a rat five weeks ago, si ill remains in a critical condition. Frightful looking sores have come all over his body.” The Gainesville Eagle saj\s : " The corn crop is turning out splendid in this community.’ There are several of our fanners who say they will not have to use Western corn in 1832.” Mrs. Martha Lewis, of Pulaski count}’, the other day put to flight, with smoothing Irons and an old axe, an examining board who visited her for the purpose of inquiring into her lunacy. * Sparta Ishmuclitv: “A great many farmers arc now affected by the peri odical prejudice against guano. This prejudice seems to be a fall and win ter complaint, never lasting until after the next year’s crop is pitched.” Madison Madisonian: "One Madi son Blackwell, a mean, thieving white man in this county, stole one hundred pounds of flour from Mr.T. J. Ilillsman in this city, last Saturday, but fortu natelv was detected and made to pay for the same.” Franklin News: "On Tuesday of last week Mr. Wiley Lee’s little son. Bobbie, while playing on the cotton seed near the gin, threw his leg across the belt of the gin brush. It was quickly drawn over the wheel and broken just above the ankle.” Fort Valley Mirror: “More and better hay is being brought to market, this season than we ever noticed before. The season has been fine for curing the grass, and the short crop has stimulated parties to save hay that otherwise would not have bothered with it.” George B. Loring, Commissioner of Agriculture at Washington, D. C., has issued circulars to all agricultural so cieties known to him in the South, re questing them to send delegates to a convention of cotton growers to be held at Atlanta, Ga., on Wednesday, November 2d. * Mr. James W. Corbin, of Griffin, is reported to be tlie possessor of sev eral millions of Confederate money, which he purchased from time to time since the war, and that the recent cal! for Confederate bonds in England served to strengthen Mr. Corbin’s opinion that some day they would be redeemed. Warrcnton Clipper: "If you cut the vines from your sweet potatoes before frost and let the potatoes stay in the ground for five or six weeks, they will not rot so easily when dug, as the fro.st bite don't come back to them through the vines; and then the potatoes will continue to grow as fast as they did with the vines before cutting.” Walton County News: “Mr. J. M. McLeroy, of High Shoals, has a mow er with which helms been cutting from three to four tons of hay daily for two or three weeks. His bay crop will be worth nearly as much as his cotton crop, and it didn't cost him a cent to raise it. Every neighborhood should have one of these valuable machines.” Fort Valley Mirror: “Mr. 11. N. Sprinks was coming in town the other day on a wagon loaded with cotton from Mr. George Adams’ plantation, and,when opposite the cemetery one of the bales of cotton fell off* tiie wagon, throwing Mr. Sprinks off and breaking his right arm at the elbow joint and his right leg just below the knee.” Atlanta Constitution: “Judge 0. A. Loehrane lias returned to the city for a few days for the purpose of organ izing anew newspaper enterprise that will ultimately advocate the payment of the repudiated bonds. The Judge says that there is a good field in Geor gia for an independent, open journal on this line. The Judge is a coon.” Does that mean a Southern organ for A rth u r's ad in in i stral ion ? Sparta Planter: ‘“Alas, how slight a cause may move' neighbors to acts of violence! A case is pending before the court sitting of this nature: One neighbor threw some brush into an .other's field ; the brush was thrown back; angry words followed; one neighbor had the other arrested under a peace warrant; then the arrested neighbor had a similar warrant issued for the other; he was also arrested. The case has been in court for some time. It has cost each party forty or fifty dollars, and up to this writing has not been settled.” Walton County News: “Mr. Thos. C. Blasingame saw in some newspaper a few weeks since that two coats of varnish on a watermelon would keep it nice and fresh, till Christmas. lie tried it on two find ones and they rot ted in two weeks. He says the tiling won’t work worth a cent. But he has made a wonderful discovery. He had a fine patch of melons this year. The up after the first melons had ripened. lie cut the old vines off about six inches from the roots, plow ed and hoed the old stubs and now has a finer lot of melons than the first lot. If a melon vine can thus be made to yield two crops the experi ment is certainly worth trying.” Americas Republican: “On Tuesday morning as Mr. L. G. Hudson was coming to town on a load of brick in his wagon, and wliHc ho was about three miles from the city, he accident ally fell from the top of a box he was sitting on, which was on the top of the load of brick. As he was lying at length on the ground, the wheels of the wagon ran up his leg from the thigh to the back of his hip, and run over his arm, but broke no bones. Mr. Hudson was badly bruised, but came on to the city, disposed of his brick, and attended to his other du. ties. The entire weight of the wagon and brick was twenty-eight hundred pounds, enough to crush an ordinary man,” 31m iislofttisciiieiits. J. H.
