that there was more than one en

Died, very suddenly on the Ith of
December, John P. Jones, at the
residence of his father, Hon. J. R*
Jones, of Herndon, Burke Cbuiity.
While, we do not approve of elab
orate #obittiaries, we cannot pass
over the deatli of a friend, “true and
tried,” without a few tender words
to bis memory. We have known
the subject of this brief sketch from
boyhood until tlie hour in which lie
was so suddenly called to “pass over
tlu f river,” and we have ever found
him generous and Self-sacrificing,
ready to give up his own wishes and
plans for the benefit of a friend!
And our heart grows sad within us
as we think of his early death, cut
down by the “insatiate reaper” on
tlie very threshold of manhood
when life was brightest and hope
sweetest!
Wo do not dare to question the
mysterious workings of a Divine
Providence, but sit with folded
hands and heavy hearts and wonder
why these things are so! Why one
so much needed should he taken,
and another, waiting and anxious
to go, should be left! But in the
light of eternity all shadows of
doubt will be swept away—and
wlmt we “know not now, we shall
know hereafter!”
And to tlie honored father whose
hair lias whitened in tHu service of
His State and humanity, and who
lias seen three sons, one after anoth
er, taken from the family circle, we
tendon*,our heartfelt .sympathy.—
And to the sorrowing sisters and
brothers we say “Ret not your
hearts be troubled,” for He who
“tempers tlie wind to the shorn
lamb” will in his own good time re
unite you in one unbroken circle
around His throne, in that “beauti
ful land” where Death cannot enter.

As an offset to the eow-snajve
story, from the Dublin Gazette, to
be found on our first page, we give
the following which was related to
us a few days ago by a prominent
and reliable citizen of this county.
Most of our readers have probably
heard that when a dog is snake-
bitten a fungus snake of tlie same
specie that hit him formed on his
liver, and appeared to he endowed
with all the vitality of the real, or
original reptile. Our informant
says, that many years ago, in this
county, one who was a great hunter,
had a valuable dog bitten by a
snake, and after great trouble saved
his dog’s life. Some months after
ward he noticed a peculiar motion
In his dog’s side, from which time
the dog seemed in had health and
finally died. Actuated by curiosity
the gentleman opened the dog, and
to his utter astonishment found two
snakes of the specie which hit his
dog, some six or eight inches long,
hanging to his liver. 4 he dog’s
liver WUb hung up in a tree where
it remained for a long time, and
was seen by hundreds of people,
many of whom are still alive and
will testify to the above facts.

Bennett came very near escaping

jailor, who is as careful as it is pos

huvo before said irf nothing but an
old rattle trap which would not

it can be made safe, and Burke
comity must build a new one, or the

We are aware, would he large but
It Is a necessary expense to secure

ole against thieves, murderers and

It becomes our sad duty to record
the death of Mr. J. P. (J. White
head, father of Dr. A. G. Whitehead,
of this place, which occurred at his
residence near Forest Hull, In this
county, on Friday morning, the 21st
inst., at :$ o’clock, a. m., in the 72d
year of his age. Mr. Whitehead,
who usually enjoyed most excel
lent health, was stricken with pa
ralysis on Sunday morning last,
and neither the skill of the physi
cian or the love of affectionate
children who stood by his bed-side
could arrest the course of the dis
ease—and its end was death.
Another happy family lias been
saddened by the fell destroyer,
Death! They will miss him at
home; they will miss his kindly
beaming face, they will miss him
around the family fireside, they
will will miss him at His church—but
above all, tlie poor will miss tin*
generous hand that So kindly min
istered to their necessities. He has
lived a long life of usefulness to His
fellow man, and has gone to that
reward and to that home prepared
for such as lie by the Father, eter
nal in the Ueaveqs!
Alas! death’s presence always fills
our hearts with sadness, and while
our sincere sympathies are tender
ed the bereaved ones, we would say
to them grigvo not as those with
out hope, hut prepare to meet the
beloved departed one on the shores
of that shining river that flows from
under tlie throne of God!

Mr. J. M. Murphey, of Telfairville
this county, had his gin house, to
gether with a 45 saw gin, eight bales
of cotton, two hales being custom
cotton, seed of ‘15 bales, new Smith
press, set horse running gear, a
quantity of bagging and ties and all
his tools burned, on his farm, near
that village, on last Saturday, as fol
lows; Mr. Murphey was absent at
the time, and the brush pulley of
the gin became unlevel and throw
the band, when the negro ginning
procured a peiee of plank anil placed
it so as to hold the band in its place,
this caused great friction, which
soon ignited the plank, which in
stantly communicated to the lint in
the lint room’, and in a twinkling
the house was ia a blaze. The
hands succeeded in saving the en
gine, gin belt and two bales of cot
ton that were packed and lying un
der the gin house. Mr. M. estimates
his loss at about $1,450, with no in
surance. Mr. Murphey is one our
most industrious, honest and pro
gressive citizens and we are sorry
for ids loss.
The Darkey and the Preacher.
Not long since one of our preach
ers who is the ewner of a fine
breech-loader double gun with a
pointer dog attachment, and who
sometimes take a little sport in the
fields, and at the same time sup
plies his table with the toothsome
quail, concluded to “run" the creek
for ducks. But before doing so, he
concluded to inform himself of all
the facts bearing upon this rare and
sometimes profitable sport. With
this intent, he mfit an old darkie in
town who domiciles upon the hanks
of the “rolling Bijiar,” tlie following
conversation ooc
“Old many don’
proximity to tli
creek ?”
“Boss, r doan’

“Well, my man, An you Inform
me if any grout number of untum
ed ducks visits those haunts at
present
‘•Boss, don’t tink deni duck hunts
any body, but dares tousan oh ’em
clur, shore’s you born.”
“Well, old man, my object In ma
king the inquiry was, that I have
a desire to come down, and have a
little morceau of sport, and was ex
ceedingly solicitous to know If 1
could poreure the services of a com
petent chaperone to guide and pro

“Ross, 1 doan’ unnerstan’ what all

“My colored friend, I have hut
one day in the week of leisure
and I would like to know
if you could suit your convenience
to mine?”
Right here old Moso split upon
his judgment, as he suppose that
day of leisure, and repled;
“Ross, you jes come down enny

and dem solieitus you talk about a
