Thk clos ng txercises of Professor Speir’s School will take place in a few wet ks. Wk have on hand the manuscript of an original story, which will be published in our next iseue. Messrs James Fields and Frank Tnrner have both bten quite ill this week, but are improving. A seining party went out to Adams’mill creek last Wednesday and captured a Cue mess of fish. Mr. W.

Tub bailiff who waited on the grand jury at the last Superior Court in Fayette lias a voice like a four-borse bassoon. He under stands his business, though, and we hope will be retained in the position which he fills so admirably A destructive fire occurred at Indian Spring one night last week, by which the dwelling of Mr. J. B. Durable was entirely consumed, together with all the furniture aod everything else in the house. Not a single article was saved, our informant states. In cendiary.

Mrs M. A. James. Dr. Robert Adams sends us this week a stalk of oats that climbs over anytbiog of that variety we have yet seen. It measures five feet and one inch in height, and is head ed beautifully. Tbe Doctor tailed to state bow many acies he had in this useful cereal, but we suppose he has enough for home con sumption. On Monday next another excursion will leave this place for Cumberland Island, to be absent a week or ten days. The indica tions are that the crowd will be even larger than that of last week. Any information desired w ill be cheerfully furnished by Mr. Fhigh McDonald. The fare for tbe round trip will bfe ?S 85. Wb were roisirformed tbe other day as to the number of true bills found by tbe grand jury at the iceeut session of Fayette Superior Court. Instead of fifty, (as our informant thought, and sta'ed.) there were only thirteen, three of which were against parties residing in other counties. This speaks well for the morals of our sister oounty, and we take pleasure in making the correctioa According to the repot t of our Treasurer, Henry county has now over §4,000 in the treasury and doesn’t owe a cent. Let’s build a jail with the surplus fund. It could not be better employed, in our opinion. The present structure is not very creditable to a county I ha* has always stood foremost with the best in the State in the matter of public improvement. We should be pleased to have an expression from some of our citizms on the subject. The pic-nie at Stilwell’s bridge was a most delightful affair, if wo can rely on the testimony of some of our young people who attended. We started, but had not pro ceeded more than three miles before we were oveit'ken by (be hardest rain that ever fell since the days of Noah—wilting our shirt collar, slouching our hat, and damaging onr toilet generally, so that we were compelled to put into port for repairs. By the time the repairs were made it was too late to go. (Jodky's Lady’s Book for June.—'Hie June number of Godey opens with a steel plate by Darley, that will forcibly suggest to mammas to keep base-boll plaiing out side of drawing-room doers. ‘ 'lhe Rosebud Garden of Girls” is continued with increas ing interest in every page, and the charming serial, ‘‘A Gentle Belie,” is also continued, giving two novels by distinguished authors to every subscriber. In addition are first rate stories by Florence Avenal, Ethel Tane, Cltas. C. Rovce, Ella Rdmau Church, and others. The mothers will find new sugges tions for Fireside Fun ; there is a capita] (airy story for the little folks; an article ■ lly seasonable upon gardening, by the eminent florist, Thos. Meehan ; and, in ad dition to all this, a feast of fashion matter, profusely illustrated, and the usual pages of Work Department, Hints on Home Adorn ment, and other specialties of this popular magazine, which, with this number, closes its ninety-eighth volume. What other peri d ical, at that advanced age, can boast of be ing as blooming, fresh, and attractive as a belle of e ghteen ? Send §1 to the Publish ers and try it lor six months. A fatal shooting affray occurred ut Love joy iast Wednesday morning, in which Geo Fears, colored, wa9 shot and instantly killed' by Seaborn Hardy, also colored Tbe par ticulars, so far as we have been nble to learn, are about as follows : On Tuesday the tie - ceased attempted to whip, and otherwise abused, a sister of Hardy, who reported the matter to her parents upon her return home. Wednesday morning the deceased went to see the girl’s parents, ostensibly to apolog’ze for his conduct of the day before; but, ac cording to the testimony of the girl’s sister, who was present,'he made threats against the life of fteaborn Hardy while in the yard, and kept his hand behind him as if in readi ness to draw a pistol Upon this provocation Hardy stepped into the house, procured a gun and shot him. the charge entering his right side and coming out on the oilier, pro ducing instant death. A coroner's inquest was held in the afternoon, and we learn that a verdict was rendered in accoi dance with the above facts. Hardy was still in the neighborhood at last accounts, having made no attempt to escape. Tbe deceased is said to have been a disagreeable, turbulent fellow, and had figured in several rows during the past few months. The matter will undergo legal investigation. We frequently hear complaint from those who are compelled to travel that road, at the conditioo of the ford near Mr. H. C. Manley’s, and have ourself called the atten tion of the road commissioners to the matter m ore than once. There is no denying tbe fact that, in tbe fall and winter, heavily loaded wagons cannot pass this place at all. We heard a gentleman say that he was compelled to unload his wagon not long since before be could cross; and numerous complaints of a like character reach us nearly every week. Hampton gets a large trade from that dilection, and it would be a wise move on the part of cur commissioners to recommend a bridge built across this ford, itseems to ns. Mr. Richard Crawford (whose mill is only a few miles beyond,) proposes to furnish enough lumber for the work at a less cost than it can be bought anywhere, just to get the bridge built. As it is, in hauling lumber to town he is compelled to go two or three miles out of tbe way in order to es cape Manky’s ford. Tbe ford near Mr. Minor Ridgely’s is said to b' almost as bad. We hope onr road commissioners will con sider this matter, and eudeavor to make the necessary improvements before the fall trade sets in. Tbe Colored Sunday-School Pic- Nlc. Mr. Editor:— Will yon allow me space in your valuable paper to make a few re marks concerning our celebration on the 17th insi ? It was well known by all the colored people round about that there would be a grand Sabbatb-schoo! celebration in Hamp tou on that day, and by 9 o’clock people be gao to pour in from every direction. At half past 9 we form, d a line of march Rich ard Bail was chosen Marshal of the day, and after marebiog through town, we retorned to the stage erected io the beautiful grove near Lebanon Church ; but a rain corning up. the different Sabbath-schools were re quested to assemble in the colored Baptist Church, when the exercises were opened bv G. B. Karoo, superintendent of said school, who made a few remarks. About twenty- Hve s[*eechi s were made by members of that school, some of which are worthy of mention, had we the space. At 1 o'clock it was decided that we should eat dinner, and the numerous well-filled baskets were accordingly op-med and their contents readily devoured. Out of a crowd of three hundred nr more, there was not one that didn’t get enough to eat. After dinner the Sabbath-schools wete assembled near the stage. The exercises opened with an address by P G Simmons, superintendent of the A. M K. School. He wus followed by about twenty-five from his school, some o: whom acquitted themselves with real credit. Rev. M. Wright delivered an address on the ‘‘Education of the Colored People of Georgia.” J. G. Morgun, of Sunny Side, then delivered an address on the “Sabbath-school’’ after which we had two sermons (or (un by J. D. Johnson and A R. Johnson. And thus ended the exercises. The crowd then repaired to the base-ball ground to witness a match game between the Hampton and Lovejny clubs, which re sulted in the defeat of the latter. ’The score stood—Hampton, 59 ; Lovejoy, 31. There was no whiskey on tire ground, and no fight ing. Everything passed off pleasantly, and everybody seemed to enjoy themselves. J B. W. “The Purls Exposition Has been a source of wonder to many, and of profit to some,” among the latter being the manufacturers of Boss’ Patent Stiffened Gold Watch Cases, who received a medal These Cases are made of two plates of solid gold overlaying a plate of composition metal in such a manner as to present only a gold surf ice. They retain all the beauty, strength and solidity of the genuine article, and while costing but half the money, are guaranteed by special certificate to wear 20 years. When visiting yot*r jeweler ask to see them. It won’t cost anything, and you will be surprised at the handsome designs and elegance of finish.
