Thrown Overboard to Drown in the Sound, bv His Elder Brother--A Five 3lile*s Swim and Three Hours’ Strug gle for Life At about 0 o’clock on Thursday night, September 19, an almost ex hausted swimmer touched with his hands Indian Reef, a spur of Black Hock in front of the grove and shore of D. L. Mansfield, in the town of Hast Haven, about six miles from New Hav en by the road. Resting a little he plunged in again and crossed the month of the creek known as East Haven River, and then he stood on the main land, which he recognized. A little walk brought him to Mr. Mansfield’s stable, aud there he stood naked while Mr. Mansfield, was roused from his bed to come and see him, and the Old Shore House keeper wili probably al ways remember the handsome young man, whose naked, finely-built figure met his eyes that night when lie open ed the stable door. The strange story which the swimmer told to Mr. Mans field, after clothes had been put on him and he had taken a cup of hot tea, was as follows: “MY NAME IS EDWARD BRONHAM.” I live in New Haven, and am not quite of age. This afternoon, at 4 o’clock, my only brother —William W. Brom hain—and myself hired a sail-boat at White’s dock and went down the har bor. We passed out of it into the Sound, and were a mile or two beyond the new light-house when my brother asked me to sit in the steam on the edge of the boat, saying it would sail better. As soon as I had seeted lay s' there be came up behind me and said ‘ain’t THAT A SHARK OUT THERE?’ An i as I turned to look where he point ed he pushed me overboard. At first, when in the water, I thought it must have been an accident, but soon changed my mind. I asked him to help me, and he put the boat about, but didn’t try to get at me. He told me to swim toward the boat, and when I got near he would change her course and go away from me, as if he wanted to lead me out into the Sound. He would n’t throw me an oar or a rope. In this way he kept me in the water for a long time, and some of the time laughed at me and asked me if I was tired. When it began to get dark he started for home, j leaving me in the water four or five miles out. Before he started I had given up all hope of r.elp from him, and had started for the shore. In fact, I | had been AFRAID HE WOULD STRIKE ME With an oar if I should get near the boat. lam a good swimmer, but I had a hard time getting my clothes off and preparing for a long, hard struggle for life. My buttoned gaiters gave me most trouble, and I must have gone down five or six times in getting them off. I laid my course for the old Light-house on the shore, but soon it became dark and I lost my bearings. I kept on, floating at times to rest my self, but did not know where I was un til I touched your reef, almost ready to drown. I had been in the water three hours, and had come three or four or five miles to eastward. I firmly bclive MY BROTHER MEANT TO DROWN ME. My father has been dead many years, and my mother bas married again. My brother and myself inherited two-thirds of his property. If I, who am married, die without issue, my share goes to him. He is married, has one child and is two years older than I am. His ac tion in the boat explaines another cir cumstance hitherto mysterious to me. Some time ago I lived in his house. I am always very careful to turn out my gas before going to bed, but one night while in the house I awoke and smelled gas. I was very drowsy, but soon, when my head felt oppressed, with an effort I left the bed, staggard to the window, and had just strength enough to open it. The fresh air revived me, and I looked at my gas-burner. Some one, in my sleep, had turned the gas full on, and the room was full of it. I shall coaplain to my guardian, Hon. C. B. Bowers. j Mr. Mansfield took him home that night to his mother’s house. Hisbroth er had told her of Edward’s probable death, and when Edward began to con demn William to her, she restrained him, saying that William had assnred her that he had done all in his power to ! save him. hut in vain. But Edward holds to the belief which he communi cated to Mr. Mansfield that night, and has told the same story to several per- DAWSON, GEORGIA. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1878 1 sons. He say's his brother did not know of Ihis rescue until the next morn ing, when he was told as he was start ing for the shore witli the intention of looking for Edward’s body, and that he went home that evening and told no one of the accident except his motheT. Mr. Mansfied was out fishing that af ; tenioon, and says the sea was smooth and the weather pleasant. He consid ers it almost miraculous, however, that in the dark Edward swam to the shore that night. Edward has had no busi ness. His brother is a book-keeper. Their father was for several years a member of the firm of Booth & Brom ham, dealers in paints and oils, in State street. Their successors, Booth & Lawrence, are now in Water street. Mr. Bromliam left about §IOO,OOO worth of property, mostly in real estate, but Edwards's share is not thought to be now worth more than from §IO,OOO to §20,000.—-V. Y. World. A Remarkable Man. Uncle Wright Merritt, who carries tlie mail from Dawson to Morgan, was in Cuthbert last week, and paid his re spects to the editor of the True South ron, who writes up the old gentleman’s history, as follows: “Yesterday Mr. Wright Meritt, well known in all this section as an inde pendent and dont-care-sort of man, stepped into our office and called for our last weeks issue. He made him self at home, and entertained the whole office with his odd sayings keeping all hands in an uproar of laughter. Dur ing his stay we took dots and gleaned the following of his personal history : He is 65 years of age, and never took a drink of liquor in his life; never had a spell of sickness but always “threw physics to the dog;-.” When asked the question: “Ho you chew tobacco,” said he “never chewed what a dog wouldn’t.” He never smoked a pipe or cigar, and never ate an animal that could climb a tree on the outside or inside, neither anything that lives in water or burrows in the ground, and nothing that was cooked by a negro.— When asked the question: “Are you an old line Whig or Democrat,” he said he had but little to do with polities and had seldom voted. He was a strong Un ion man and cursed the “secessionists” blue, but fought two years in the Con federate service, and thanks God lie came out sound to still curse “secession idiots.” He said lie lias eaten blue bird eggs enough, if hatched out, to make a blue line from here to Ilawkinsville. He sayshehas a “yaller” mule 35 yearsold with which he has made 21 successive crops, and says that that mare mule early learned him that her heels were private property, and has often turned his heels in the direction of Heaven. Mr. Merritt never went to school a day in his life, but can read and write and has more sound common sense than the average Congressman or Legislator. A Large Turtle Captured. A few days ago, says the Lrmpkin Independent, a negro man was fishing in the Pataula creek when he hung a huge turtle in the mouth With a small perch hook. He managed to raise the turtle’s head partly out of the water and held him in that position, with mouth open, until several gallons of water had run down his throat. The turtle then dropped his head ovor to one side and the negro, thinking that he had drowned him, jumped into the creek and caught him. He caught the turtle by his tail, put it between his teeth and held on to him while he cut a slit in two of his feet for hand-holds. He then started for the bank with him but found it a severe struggle as the turtle would hold on to the roots and branches of trees in the creek. The negro finally got him turned on his back and pushed him out of the water. The turtle weighed 77 poundsjand had a head that measured seven and a half inches across the top. The head was on exhibition in town last Saturday. The turtle was cut up and made a fine lot of steak which the negro found ready sale for. Speaking of turtles, reminds us that there is a man in Lumpkin who once knew a truthful, reliable fellow to as sert that he eaught a healthy specimen of the “ Chelonia imbricnteV or logger headed turtle and placed it in the bot tom of an empty sugar hogshead for safe keeping. Two or three days after ward he went to look at his prisoner and found that she had laid the hogs, head full of eggs and made her escape. The party informing us of this occur rence is ready to make all necessary affidavits. TERRinLE FIGHT WITH A GRIZZLY BEAR. A Cali font iti Hunter’s Ui*ex|XM‘t ed Encounter. On Thursday of last week Mr. Nath an Rogers, who lives upon a ranch in the mountain abovo West Point, had the most terriffc encounter with a griz zly we ever heard of. Gray squirrels are quite plenty there this season, and after dinner Mr. Rogers went out for an afternoon’s sport. He was armed with a light rifle, and fortunately had a large knife, which he occasionally car ries. Grizzlies are no strangers in the vicinity, and Rogers had frequently seen their tracks while hunting his stock ; but as it is yet too early for ravenous beasts to be driven out of the higher mountain ranges by the snow, he felt no apprehension from that source. In leaving a timbered ridge upon which he had been shooting, Rogers had to cross a patch of comparatively open country. He had gone but a short distance when, in descending into a little blind ravine, he came upon a huge grizzly feeding on the carcas of a sheep. The bear was not over twenty feet distant—a space that Rogers bad not the remotest desire to diminish.— Man and beast discovered each other's presence at the same instant. Rogers is a resolute man, a splendid marks man, and Well inured to the dangers of backwoods life; but, with a full knowl edge of the characteristics of tho fero cious animal facing him, hope died away in his breast. His impulse was to run; biit his better judgement told him that if he did so, and should be Eursued by the grizzly, escape would e impossible. There was a chance that the grizzly might not attack him it he retained a bold attitude, but this was dispelled by the bear giving a low growl, dropping his mutton and advanc ing toward him. When the grizzly had got within about fifteen steps of him, Rogers threw his rifle to his shoulder, and with a steady aim planted a bullet in the bear's breast, just inside the point of the right shoulder. The animal was hit hard, but no six ty-to-thc-pound bullet ever stopped a grizzly. With a growl, so ferocious that it resembled a roar, the infuriated animal rushed forward to the attack. Throwing aside tbe now useless rifle, aud drawing his knife, Rogers braced himself for the death struggle. As the shaggy monster reared up its hunches, its great black convex head towering two feet above Rogers, the latter invol untarily threw up his left arm like a pugilist on guard. The bear seized the arm in its month, and, throwing its great paws over the shoulders of the hunter, hugged him in an embrace so cruel that his eyes seemed starting from their sockets arid the blood gushed from his nostrils. Rogers’ right arm Was free, and he drove the blade of his knife to the hilt in the side of the grizzly close to tho shoulder. The blade reached a vital point, but its. immedi ate effect was only to increase the griz zly’s ferocity. It huggod Rogers the closer, its, long, sharp, chisel-pointed claws tearing gaping wounds in the un fortunate man’s back, while the bones of bis left arm were ground to powder in the vice-like jaws of his terrible an tagonist. Rogers plied his knife with the energy of desperation, driving it again and again in the vitals, of the bear, literally carving it alive, while the latter, with claws and teeth, lacer ated its human foe in tho most fright ful mauner. The terrible wounds of the grizzly were commencing to tell upon its vitality. Rogers’ senses were not so dulled but that he could dis tinguish that the grizzly was gradually relaxing its hold, and the ray of hope the knowledge afforded stimulated him to renewed exertions with his knife.— The bear endeavored to support itself, despite its cruel wounds, wavered for an instant, and then, with a low moan, the huge monster toppled over, drag ging the man with it, the latter falling partly underneath. Summoning all his remaining strength, Rogers plunged his knife into the grizzly’s abdomen, the hot life blood and viscera spouting full in his face. The bear relinquished its hold, and Rogers, torn, lacerated and bleeding, crawled far enough away to escape being rent to pieces by the ter rible death struggle off the grizzly. Although victorious, Rogers’ condi tion was critical in the extreme. He was a mile and a half from home, so weak and faint he could scarcely stand, and in danger of bleeding to death be fore he could reach help. Conscious that he must soon have help or perish, he summoned all his resolutions and staggered along in the direction of home, more dead than alive, a trail of blood marking his footsteps, lie man aged to reaclt a spring in sight of bis house, when his endurance at last gave way, and he fell in a dead faint by the Water’s edge. Fortunately he was soon after discovered by his son, a lad of some twelve years, who immediately gave the alarm. Rogers was taken home aud his wounds temporarilly dress ed, an express in the meantime being sent for it physician. The grizzly was the largest ever known to have been killed in the county. It measured nine feet in length, “over all,” and weighed one thousand four hundred pounds. The left side of the bear was liteallv torn to pieces, there being no less than twenty-two knife Wounds, nearly'every one of which reach ed a vital point. Mr. Rogers is lying in an extremely critical condition.—■ , Calamras Cal.

VOL. 14-NO. 33 The Painful Experience of a Tarred and Feathered Man. \V. .1. .Tones, who was tarred and feathered by the Reno people, and then sent out of town on the west ward-bound train, was in a pitiable j condition when he reached Truckee. j The Republican says; “We saw tbe! victim Thursday night on the over laud train He was truly in a pitia- j ble condition Coal tar or gas tar; had been Used, and used freely. This ‘ substance blisters like a mustard plaster. The cuticle will (reel off of Mr. Jones just as it' he had been boil ed. His hair and the wound on his head were filled with tar. The hair, stuck out in till directions, or a mass of tar stuck out. Tito sockets of his eyes were level full with solid tar which seemed to have bean poured into them and allowed to cool. His whiskers seemed a large, shaggy mass of tar, Ifis face, neck, and, as we arc told, his entire body, had a thick coating. The vigilant ' kindly clothed him before putting him an the train. The sight might have been ludicrous if it had not lieen agonizing. The train was nearly three hours in reach- ing Truckee. 'The pain endured by the poor fellow was excruciating.—• Sightless, helpless, coated with a hor rid, odoriferous substance, he sat si lently, with his head boWed over.— Oeeasionlly bis fingers would grasp spasmodically at the open air. Some times his body Would twitch nervous ly, as if from the pain he endured— Arriving at Truckee, Grandson Jones and another colored man were put to work to remove the tar. It Was art hour before Dr. R. J. Goss was called and the linseed oil which he prescrib ed obtained Everybody who saw tho poor wretch pittied him, The’ very men who performed the deed would have pitied him. His suff erings were extreme. His eyes were fairly burning up. No one ever hoard before of putting tar in a man’s face and in his eyes. U<> r six hours the two men worked faithfully neu tralizing thetar and removing it from his body. We saw him this morning.! His eyed were teribly inflamed.

A gentleman livingi:i tbe northern subnibs secured a hive of bees 2 orfl weeks ago asanucleus for on apiary, and in tho course of ten days lie had read ten different Works on the honey bee and invented half a dozen patent If v is. ’I lia other afternoon a man called at the house on business and was informed by the wife that her husband was out inspecting tho bees. “Is lie taking up honey ?” inquired the man. “Oh, no—lie’s looking to see if there are any drones in the hive.” At that instant both were startled by a. series of whoops and yells, and the husband came around the corner oil the jump, his hat Striking the air on all sides of him. Ilerush ed through the hushes and back, roll ed over on the grass and lit. out for the barn, aud the amazed wife shaded her eyes from the sun as she looked after him and continued in a disap pointed tone: “But I don’t believe he found a single drone by the way they stick to him.” What tills Country Needs. An exchange very pointedly des ignates the great necessities ot this country. It says we need: Fewer i.im who seek office 3ml more men who office seeks. Fewer dogs and more sheep. Fewer truckling demagogues who are anything or nothing, as interests dictate, and more brave men who dare do their own thinking and say wlmt they think Fewer great men made to order and of smaller material, and thrust in front of men who have a capacity for greatness. Fewer men to advocate the election of favorites on personal grounds and more for the public good. Fewer wire-pullers in popular con ventions, and more people. Fewer “leaders” to knuckle to pop ular prejudice, and more real leaders tocombat such prejudice when wrong. Fewer bar-rooms and more schools. Fewer schib cattle and more good ones. Fewer croakers and more energy and enterprise. The HinersviHe Guzetfe fells this sto ry: At a cainpmccting when penitents were called up to be prayed for, an old reprobate “half seas over” went into the altar. He was not satisfied with that, but requested the minister after wards to put up a special prayer in his behalf. He did so, and begged the Almighty to have mercy on Mr. White* as he well knew what a tom-down sin-! ner he was, that he would get drunk and swear, and in fact l>reak all the commandments : hut as lie was penitent 1 to forgive him. The old sinner did not like to be so exposed in public, and on returning to bis seat met with a young lawyer, who observed to him that the preacher had ruined his character, and that lie ought to sue him for “defamation of character," and that he would under take the case for half of what lie recoa ered.
