Kkyton, Calhoun County, Sept. 22.—Allison, the little nine- year-old son of Mr, \N. P. Perry, ot Calhoun county, saved his father’s life hy a remarkable display of courage and deliberation. This little son of Mr. Perry, and a stout negro man, named Pleas ant Woodson, were driving the gin of Mr. Perry. Allison had a whip that had been given him hy a negro hoy on the place.' Pleasant wanted the whip and being refused hy the little hoy, took it by force, choking and otherwise treating the little fellow very roughly. About the time Pleasant attacked Allison Mr. P. rode up in Lis buggy, nml seeing his little hoy in the hands of the enraged ruffian, ran up with ids buggy whip, when the negro drew his knife and rushed upon Mr. Perry, wlio being unarmed, struck the negro with the butt end of his whip, Imping thereby to check his advance. The whip broke, however, ami Mr. P. stepping backward, stumbled over a wagon tire and foil, his assailant’s knife piercing his clothes and slightly cutting his thigh. The negro fell on Mr. Perry with open knife, and was just in the aci of plunging the long, keen blade in Mr. Perry’s heart, when Allison, seeing his father’s extreme peril, picked up an old axe, and with the courage and precision of a man, struck the negro a stunning blow on the head, so completely demor- izing him that lie scampered away with adilhd brain and bruised head. Thus it will lie seen that a aim-year-old boy saved 11is lather from a horrible death hy having pluck. Wiiyliilil nml Murdered. Augusta Clirnnlclo.

Postmasters will take all available means of calling public attention to tlie coming reduction of postage, so that purchasers may not accumulate an unnecessary supply of 3-cent stamps or stamped envelopes.”— Tlie same circular states that no arrangement had been made for the redemption of the old stamps, and directs postmasters to make no exchanges for the public, anil not to return to the department the stock remaining on their hands after October 1.” has ceased to flow.
