In his last letter “Mayor" states that a certain youth who was visiting the “villa" had killed all the “Dob Whites" in the vicinity. Was this uot wrong? Is it not a violation of the game laws of Georgia? Certain it is that tho “Dob Whites' should not ho killed just now, leaving tho care of the youDg “Dob Whites” to "Mrs. Dob White" olone. The young man should he talked to; then if he persists in hiH wicked course, tho “Mayor" should as sume municipal authority and suppress it.

If itsciti/.uns would lend their energies to producing commodities for homo consumption, not a pound of bacon or a sack of corn would havo to be ship ped from the Northwest, to supply its wants. In 187N a man bought a planta tion in this county on which were stand ing three stnoks of fodder, which had been standing beside tbo road, nobody knows how long. Those same stacks of fodder stands there to-day in a perfectly sound condition, showing thnt tho owner of tho plantation has made a sufficiency year af ter year, without having to use tho anti quated fodder.

J. 1C. W. JOLLY JOHXPRKKVILLIk Johnihievillk, August 1.0—No raiu for the past week, uml tho cotton doing but little or nothing. All the old land cotton bus the rust, which will cut the crop otfji good deal, as it yet has a month to inuke, and it never does anything more after it taken the rust. Wo think it will cut cfl' at least one-fourth of tho crop if not more of the late planting. Early cotton will be damaged but little. If tho rust con tinues, us for tho past week, the cottou will ull soon ho open, gathered and by the last of October sold and tho money spout. Mr. Love Kimbrough was dangerously hooked by a tine Jersey bull of his, ono day last week. IIo kept him tied at night, and went out to turn him loose when he was hoiked. We heard to-day ho was better, and his friends hope to seo him out again soon. Mrs. C. If. Moore, of Weston, died this morniug nt 3 o’clock of paralysis. Mrs. the house nnd examined the pntiout. lie found a drop of blood on one of the lady’i uukles and from tho Hyiuptoms exhibited at onoo decided that sho had been bitten by a snake. The physician immediately went to work to counteract the effects of the poison and by reason of his prompt nrrivnl wan successful in staying its ef fects, ns the poison was already diffusing itself through the lady's system. Ou ex amining her foot it was seen that sho had been struck twice by tho snake, onco bn the ankle and again on tbo heel, which oaused her to oxolnitn that hornet'ii stinging her, She wuh hotter by morning when a search was made for the snuko. Tho flooring of the room was taken up aud a rattlesnake with two rattles Hat found and killed. The Indy is exceeding ly fortunate in oscApiug with no further harm than she has already suffered.

William Taylor, rt-coicly appointed Mctl.odi.t episcopal bixhop for Alrica, at hi. farewell reception in Boston made this statement;—“It is reported that u most extraordinary discovery has recently hcen made in Africa in a tour from east to west. There have hcen found nations of people hitherto unknown, who number uO,000,000; and live in houses h.iiit of stone, with gardens in the rear and properly Inid out streets, who work in iron, copper and ivory nnd are pretty well up in the industrial arts, many or them, being well to do. This is a country never heard ol licfon-, and the Lord hits lurn- nished me a man.

Judge William Cartor,i of She boygan, Miqh„ and Judge Caswell Marks, of Selma, Ala., were both native, of Lexington. Ky. In boy- hood they had iamlncd the same cat's head into the same milk pitch er, stolen peaches from the same tree, got trounced from the same farmers, and were otherwise en viously intimate friends, after wards chums at college, and then errand boys in the same office. Later in life they parted, and rose to sublime honors in their separ- places. Last January they met for their (Irst time since their parting, in Lexington; and brewed a convivial b5wl'in“lipnpr, of. the event. About midnigbt,'' lull of affection and enthusiasm, they re tired in the same bed. It waa’ a huge affair, standing in (be middle of the room and capabj.p of being drawn up by ropes to the ceiling while the room waa-being cleaned. It was a very cold night; itnd they placed their clothing on the foot of the bed. Ju.t afar theyfejl asleep four friends entered softly, drew the tied by the Wj&i nedrl^ to the ceiling, and left them thus suspended about ten: feet from the floor. They tl.cn locked tbo door outside nnd retired. -.--In-si i-.'l At!) a- m.

Fell- through a trap. Dont get out on my side of the bed.” “All right.” And Judge Marks springing out on his own side, turned three somersaults and land ed on the small of his hack. Both wore now oonvinccd they bad fal len into a den of thieves and were possibly to be murdered. The jokers had closed the heavy wood en shutters so no light cbuld enter and removed all The furniture. Tho judges groped around on hands and knee-, nearly frozen to death, and only at daybreak dis covered tlie bed, climbed into it and got warm enough to talk the thing over.
