Tin- KadiraN Eluted Over the
1 <>t Hill sum! Hampton,
Tho \\ ashington cot respondent of
the Louisville Courier Journal says :
‘A decided feeling of elation has pre
vailed among Republicans for several
day? past, and a proportionate depres
I sicn among the Democrats. The only
j chauce that the Republicans would
abandon their purpose of inaugua'inir
Iluyes by fraud or force lay in the
| apprehension of resistance by the uni
j ted Democracy, The names of a
| number of {Southern leaders have
j been used by the Republioen press to
show that the Southern Demorals
1 wete teudy to submit to Hayes usur
pation, and the color of probability
has been given to all those statements
by the published utterances of Messrs.
Hill, Yc ung and Hampton. The let
ters of Hill and Hampton have fallen
like a wet blanket on the Democrats
here. Gen. Hampton's Southern
friends and admirers in this city are
deeply moitified at the step he has
taken. The opinion of the bast observ
ers is, that the situation is rendered
deeply critical by these utterances,
and so far from the prospect of col
lison being lessened by letters like
these ol Hill and Hampton, that it is
greatly incieased. Southern men
mere generally concur in stating that
these letters do not correctly present
Southern sentiment and feeling, but
they well understand that they will
mislead both parties at the North and
give to the infamous conspiracy of
Hayes and Chandler its hope of suc
cess. The Reput.licans are so justly
encouraged by these demonstrations
that it is now doubtful whether the
Radical leaders will delay the employ
ment of force until the period ol the
inauguration. The National Republi
can, which largely embodies the spirit
of the conspirators, comes out flat
footed for arres ing the members of
the House of Representatives if they
shall dare to elect Mr. Tilden upon
the failure of the two houses to agree
in the count of the electoral vote. 1

A negre was found dead in Georgia,
having fallen and broken his neck
while stealing chickens from a high
roost. lie was a class leader in n
church, cud his pastor, in preaching
the funeral sermon, was botheied by
the question where the soul of the
dead brother had gone. ‘His well- j
known jiieiv,’ said the preacher, *indi-<
cates that he died a Christian, yet
there are circumstance connected with
his death that are perplexing. If,
after he fell and' before he struck the
ground, he repented of his sins, there
can be no question hut that he is now
in glory, but there was mighty little
time for him to think about it.’

Chicago, January 5.—A special so
the Times from Koosauqua, lowa, says
that on Tunesday afternoon Major
Charles 11. Fletcher was instantly
killed by a ball from a revolver itt the
hands of Mr. John Brown, a brother
of Miss Lizzie Brown, who was some
months ago induced to leava her home
with Fletcher. Major Fletcher at the
time of making the acquaintance if
Miss Brown was Prerideut of the Ke
osauqaa, St. Louis and St. Paul R.
R. Company, and during his official
business at this place as such made
Iris home at the reshteuce of Miss
Brown. Sickness during the absence
of the MajoCs wife called to his ser
vice Miss Brown, who, with tender
cate, watched over him until Iris
health was restore], and was induced
to leave her home. Months passed
before bet friends Could learn of her
whereabouts. She was found in the
city of St. Louis. Her frieuds persua
ded her to return heme, and the
gtand jury, learning of the outrage,
proceeded to investigate the case, and
fouud an indictment against Fletthtfr.
The case was set down for hearing
at the present session of the District
Court. Mr. Brown in company with
his sister, had driven to the court
house, iu obedience to the summons,
to answer as witnesses against Fletch
er. Mr. Brown stepped into the
clerk’s office, and as he approached
the clerk’s desk, he recognized Fletch
er standing in front of him. He at
once drew a revolver and shot him
through the head, killing him instant

Tue Pittsburg Telegraph tells the
following story}
‘A baker of this city had a valua
ble cow, wliich gave a large quantity
of milk, and was held its high esteem
for general god qualities. All at
once the supply of lacteal fluid grew
smaller by degrees and beautifully
less until the yield was scarcely worth
having. The fami'y were greatly
surprised at this, as the animal was in
perfect health and in the flight of her
season. It was hinted that some par
son whose love for milk overcame his
scruples lor stealing was as the bot
tom of the mischief, and that, like a
thief at night, he entered the stable
where Bessy was kept and relieved
her of the milk. The hired man was
accordingly instructs I to watch for
the thief, and his vigiliance was re
warded by a most singular discovery.
Just after daylight iu the tuoruiug lie
saw a very large rat come forth from
its hiding place, and, going to where
the cow was lying, it stood on its hind
tee*, with its forepaws on thp cow’s
udder, and, applying its mouth to one
of tier dugs, sucked its fill of milk.—
When it was satisfied another rodent
took its place and so on until the sup
ply was exhausted and the family
swindled by the cunning rats out of
their morning's supply of the much
coveted fluid. The story is well vouch
ed for.’

Gerard, wasairested to-day iu this city

girl in San Miguel, a town five miles
ftom San Francisco', Cal., on the ever,

and tired half a dozen shots into the

Human Hide Slieei.
A NEk- MKTIIOD OF UTILIZING TnE CAB
CASBES OF DECEASED INDIVIDUALS.
The result of a curious experiment
recently made by two Southside shoe
makers has just come to light. The
ir.on worked in the same shop, and
ono day they indulged in speculations
regarding the utility of human skin
in ttie manufacture of boots and shoes.
Both were of opinion that it would
answer the put pose. Arrangements
were made with a college ol physi
cians in Philauelphia, and they secu
red skin from the stomach and back
of a man who h ul died suddenly from
an accident and upon who#® remains
conuption had not taken hold. The
skin was put into a preparation of hem
lock and oak barks, such as are mod
in the ordinary process of tanning and
in about ten days i. was in a condition
to be turned into the uppers and legs
of a pair of boots. The process of
tanning changed its color to a light
browr.. It was more porous than
calfskin. The skin was duly made
into a pair of boots, the soles being
made of ordinary leather. They prov
ed to be warmer than boots made
from the skin of a calf, and it is be
lieved that they will bo every bit ns
serviceable. The experiment proved
that the skin of a man of average size
would furnish sufficient material for
ttto pair of boots, including the soles.
Soles made from humau skin, bowev
er would not be very serviceable for
everyday were though (hejr might be
well adaptod for use in t’ancing pumps,
Tboiesult of this test will furnish an
argument to tho utilitarians against
cremation, but to the sensitive there
will boas much objection to this mode
of disposing of the remains of loved
ones as there is to the chances of Le
Moyne and the Theosophists.—Pitts

Money in u Hollow Tree.
A month ago, perhaps, a man by
the name of Jeffries, in company wi h
his family, was out in the woods
hunting nuts, at Palmyra, Missouri,
when oue of the girls saw somthirtg
that attracted her attention in a bol
•ow tree, and called to her mother to
come and look at it. Mrs. Jeffries
made some examination, and found it
to be an old paint keg. Upon taking
it out, there was found within it an
earthen jar containing $583 in gold
and silver. They did not know what
to do about it, but concluded to keep
quiet and" wait for developments.—
However, some of the children men
tioned it rt school, aud thence it came
to tho ears of Isaac and Jocob John
son, who came at once to see Jeffiies,
and soon convinced him that the treas
ure belonged to them and that they
had hid it there the day before Por
ter’s raid into Palmyra in 1862.
After hiding it they did not go to
look for some time and when they did
were totally unable f&'find the place
of ifs concealment, nor had they ever
been able to find it since. The keg
had been pushed up into the hollow
of the tree and propped up by a stick
which, iu the course of the fourteen
years since clap ed, rotted off and let
the treasure down, and thus it was
found by Aecideht. The Johnsons
mad a presont of SSO to the little
girl who found it, and who will say it
was not cheap enough.
Columbus times: Hay the present
cold snap killed the oat3 ? We have
heard this question asked lately, and
from the general tenor ot the answers
given by our farming friends, we are
induced to fear that, if not killed, they
are seriously injured. They seem to
have suffered most in the stiff lands,
and moie from the spewing of the
earth than from the effect of the cold
directly on ‘‘be'crop itself. We hope
the damage done is not so great as
present appearances would idicate,
and that they will soon recover from
the blight. It is but lately that the
oat crop has been properly appreciat
ed in this section as a food crop.- and
if the fall plantiug has been damaged
beyond recovery, our farming lriends
should put iu a good supply this spiing
They will save wonderlully w’hcn the
corn crib begins to run low, and
nothing is better for working stock.—
Remember the oat crop, and be sure
to have enough for home use and
and some to sell.

A Toxtlia* tVondci-ful Traces
From the Grt'encnsUu Star.
A Tftxan, visiting this point, gath
ered around him some of our citizens
Monday, and entertained them with
some of his experiences in tha Lone
Star State. One incident as told by
him is as follows:
‘You’d hardly believe, now, what I
nm going to tell. In Texas we use
rawhide straps, or thongs, for traces,
and in wet leather they do stretch
amazingly. Why, often in damp
weather at home Ive hitched up two
horses and drove down tha hill from
my house into the creek bottom for a
sled load of wood I have loaded the
wood and many times driven back
home and unhitched the horses and
the sled would not be in sight.’
‘llow did you get the wood home
then ?‘ asked an inquisitive bystander.
‘Oh, I just tied the ends of tho trac
es together and threw them over n
post, went knocking about my work
and waited till the sun shone out.—
Sometimes it would he more than two
hours before that sled, load; of wood
would get home, hut you'd S6c her
crawling up tho hill at las’, gradually
approaching as the raw-hide traces
shrunk up into their proper lengths.

A promising youth of only seven
summers, who bud been accused of
not always telling the truth, cross
examined his father. ‘Fathei, did

‘No, my son,’ said the parent who
evidently did not recall the past with
any distinctness. ‘Nor mother either ?’
persisted the young lawyer. ‘No, bnt

To the County Agricultural Societies
and Clu< s:
1. In consequence of the first Tues
day in February, and probably tW®
greater portion of that month, conflict
ing with the session of the Legisla-r
ture, and fbe second Tuesday with
the stockholders meeting of the Atlan
tic and Gulf R. R., and the third and
fourth weeks in February with theses
sion of the Superior Court of Baldwin
county it has been deemed best to
change the meeting of the Agricultu
ral Society to a time which will her
more convenient for all parties inter
est and. The President, therefore, by
virtue of the authority given him in
the Cons itution, hereby announces'
that the Spring Meeting of 1877 of
tho Sta'e Agricultural Society will
take place in the city of Milledgeville,
on the first Tuesday (6th day) of
March, 1877.
2. We hope, through the continued
liberality of the Railroads, to obtain
transportation for the members free 1
both ways. T&e Railroad?,|hc’w-'
ever, will positively not pass bat
three delegates from a county. It i®
useless to ask an extension of thf
rule. Where, therefore, there are
two or more Clubs in one county, 1
each claimiug three delegates, this
Society Can not make application for
transportation for any of them, umtfl
the several Societies havo arranged
among themselves, and agreed upon
the tliroo delegated so fepreseut th®
county. We can not discriminate at
this office. Delegates, by agreement
with the Railroads, will he required
to go by tbs most direct routes.
3. The County Societies must for
ward to this office, through the enclos
ed blank form, by 15th February, (or
sooner if possible,) their reports, show
ing the number of fnembCrtf and
number of meetings actually held du
ring the past six months, according to
requirement of the Constitution, and
also the names of their delegates, cer
tified to by the President and Secreta
ry of the Ciub. Please also fill out
the blank of ,Express Office' of the
Club,
4. Life members wishiug to attend
the Convention should give notice to
the Secretary, at Atlanta, by or before'
she 15th February.
5. There wi 1 be a full and instrne
tive programme, the details of which
will he duly announced. I)r. Pendle
ton will make his fourth and last an
nual report on this occasion. Among
the subjects discussed will he ‘Does
