J.’B. Griffin, of Columbia county, came into the Chronicle office, and gave the following particulars of a dark and dastardly outrage perpetrated by a masked robber near Augusta Sunday • afternoon • According to Mr. Griffin’s statement ^ teats his brother, Mr. VjI. S. Griffin, left his Him farm and dwelling, which is not tar from the A. & K. R. R. But a sh«rt time after his departure a man, said to have been in mask, entered the house where Mr. Griffin’s young wife was at tending her little infant, about four weeks o^d. And as he confronted Mrs. Griffin he drew a pistol and threatened to kill her. He made her put down her infant, and is said to have slapped her face uutil her nose bled, then walked to the bureau, which he ransacked. He finally secured 81 in greenback and 75 in silver, two silk neck lies, with a gold leaf pin, He then demanded money and whisky, and when assured by Mrs. Griffin that there were none in the house the robber she says drew a knife and cut her on the breast and in the side near the belt. It is then said be attempted to cut from Mrs. Griffins’s hpnd her marriage ring, with a knife .which is said to have been carried in his own ring, Mrs. Griffin attempted tn slap his pistol from his hand, when the wretch knocked her down, k : cking her, seriously bruising her. He then told her that he had a grudge agaiust her, because she had him ordered out of her yard a few weeks buck. It seems that this party was lurking around the arbor in the garden, and Mrs. Griffin had one of the hands after him with m shot gun. He then threatened to kill her husband, and warned her that he • . would be around again soon. Shortly after his depat ture, Mr. J. B. Griffin arrived at his brother’s house, where he found Mrs. Griffin bleeding, bruised and overcome with the shock and' nervous excitement of the savage a tack of the bandit. Mr. Griffin im mediately followed him, travelling nearly all night, but finally lost trace of bis man near Augusta. He was in 1 own vesterday with one of his younger brothers, trying to follow up his clue, and w# aided in his search by the po lice officers. Mr. W. S. Griffin has offered a reward of $150 for the arrest of the party. He is described as being * over six feet high, slim built, with a large seal ring on the little finger of his left hand. He wore a white broad brimmed hat, and earned two handsome silver mounted pistols.—Augusta Chron icle. breeding both here and on the islarfd of Jersey has wonderfully improved this stock. A proof of this is shown in many young cows and heifers offered in late sales in New York and Philadel phia. They frequently give from twelve to fifteen quarts of rich milk with their first calf, and have the fine formed udder of Ayrshire type, with In ' many of our large cities milk of superior quality is eagerly sought after by the wealthier classes and an advance price cheerfully given. For this the Jersey add grade Jersey have no superiors, and the yield of milk in some thoroughbred herds sur passes that of the famous Ayrshires.-*- Their remarkable evenness of yield, giving in many cases six to eight quarts just before calving, accomplishes this. New York wisely seems to have been selected as the best mart to hold sales of these cattle, and during the nexf thirty days several are to be held. To morrow at the American Horse Ex change some fifty aniilia’s of noted blood, and from well-known herds, are to be sold, offering an opportunity to those desirous of purchasing. A.

Sherman from burning it, they transferred it without considera tion to Theophile Koche, a French man employed in the factory, where upon the Frenchman raised the French flag upon the property and claimed pro tection of the property under it.

Few people realize the increased do- mand for first-class butter, not only among private families, but especially among first-class hotels in large cities, and cf the great competition that exists among the latter to secure the best of everything without regard to price.— The great West and Southwest have been called upon to meet this demand, and hundreds of oreameries have been started through that section of the country, giving the tarmers nearly double the prioe formerly obtained for milk. In the most successful of these butter districts they have now turned their attention to the quality of milk and have induced (he farmer to improve Mb stock. The supremacy of the Jersey for making a butter of unsurpassed quality and of rich color, and fer yield ing (he most, butter from the same amount ot milk, bus caused such a de mand for this stock that during the post seas'** many carloads have been shipped from the East The demand is rapidly extending.
