Griffin ITeujs: When Sheriff Bridges,
after being oat on official business,; re
turned to nis home some ejght miles irom
Griffin, about midnight on Monday. be
found his wife and thiidren in the woods
and bis dwelling and smokehouse in ruins.
The family had retired and went to sleep
when they were aroused by a neighbor
who lived near by, and they escaped with
only a very small amount of clouting and
furniture, which was Raved by those who
came their assistance. Mr. Bridges had a
splendid house, which bad iwcently cost
him $2,500, and was well furnished. In
his smoke house was a considerable quan
tity of meat, brandy, etc., all of
which was dastNyfed. During the
progress of the fire, his bant, fifty
yards distant, was. set on fire, though the
windT was blowing in an opposite direction
from his house, and bnt for some one go
ing down It would have also been burned
down. That It was clearly the work of
some Infamous scoundrel, there can be no
doubt, and it is ■ to’be hoped the guilty
party may be caught and punished to the
extent of the law. On his entire property
Mr. Bridges had an insur
ance *of . $3,500, hut his loss
(part of it being his barn) will amount to
near $1,600. He has the sympathy of the
whole community; and he seems to have

The Columbus Tines has the following
letter from Cussc-ta, Ga.:
“About three o’clock tills morning, the
grist mill and gin house of Mr. Alva D.
Harp, of this county, was burned, it is
supposed, by an incendiary. The house
contained about five hales of cotton in the
seed, and the seed from thirty hales, three
gins and other gin house appurtenances.
The grist mill adjoining was also burned.
Total loss about $3,000. No Insurance.
The mill was situated some fifteen miles
from Columbus, on Wilson’s creek. The
loss falls heavily on Mr. Harp, who has
the sympathy of his friends. Information

Atlanta Constitution: At the last
meeting of National Educational Associa
tion. held at Chanlauqua, New York, Prof.
G. J. Orr, State school commissioner of
Georgia, extended an invitation to that
body to hold its next annual meeting in
Atlanta. After considering the different
places which had expressed a desire to
entertain tins association, the committee
decided In favor of Atlanta, and the 19th,
20th, 21st and 22d of July, 1881, was
selected as the time for the meeting. In
the interest of the approaching meeting of
the association, the Hon. J. H. Smart, who
Is superintendent of education of the State
of Indiana, and president of the National
EJucatloual Association, arrived at Atlanta
on Monday last, andaftermakingtborough
arrangements with the various railroads
leading into the city, left yesterday forthls
home. The National Educational Associ
ation has a membership of several
hundred, and its roll contains the
names of some of tlie best and moet
successful educators in the Union. Each
State in the Union is represented, and the
meetings are largely attended by the best
scholars in tlie world. Professor Orr,
who Is first vice president of the associa
tion, says there is every assurance that
there will be a large attendance upon the
next session, and in order to give the vis
itors a good welcome he Is using his ener
gies to secure a large Southern delegation.
This association is beyond doubt one.of
such merit that it commends itself to ev
ery one who desires to see educational
advancement, and it is to be hoped that
our people will see that Professor Orr is
zealously supported in his effort to make
thrf coming session pleasant to those who
may favor us with their company.

Hawkinsvillc Dispatch: The event
of the week just past was tbe assembling
of the South Georgia Conference in our
town. This august body convened last
Wednesday morning at 0 o’clock in the
court house—Bishop George F. Pierce
presiding. A handsome mau, a more gen
ial, courteous, Christian gentleman than
Bishop Pierce, does not belong to the
Southern Methodist Episcopacy. He was
just from the several Texas conferences,
stopping only four hours with his family
before starting for HawkitisviUe. Though
travel-wem and weary, he summoned
strength for the occasion, and dispatched
business with a rapidity and ease that
have ever characterized him as a presid
ing officer. Tbe South Georgia Confer
ence is a working body. None rose merely
to air rhetoric. None manifested a desire
to speak sgsinst time, and the few who
spoke at all, did so very briefly, and al
ways to the point. While nearly every
quest ion was open to discussion, there were
no symptoms of “purging at the mouth”—a
malady with which too many pubiic men
of the present day and generation are
sorely afflicted. In closing our brie.*
comment, it is but a matter of Justice to
state, that tbe deliberations of tlie oonfer-
fereuce were vastly facilitated through the
efficiency of the secretary and his able
corps of assistants. It seemed almost Im
possible to confuse them. It was as cred

in to tiw outsiders, that no amendments

songs without words, or tell allegro from

the voices in a graud chorus spoke in an
unknown language, and the deep mouthed
viol groaning beneath the load that
rested on him appeared to suffer in a
useless manner. Such we say was the

must study, if we would solve tho prob
lem or Brunswick’s future. Wc must stop
looking for other* to come and build us
up we must do the work ourselves—
achieve onr-own greatness. Let every
man consider himself personally respon
sible, and go ahead and “turn up some
thing” ourselves. In the 7 building of tlie
little steamer Ruby, we see evidences or
the spirit we would aroase. Let others
follow suit. We need a tug boat—build
it. We need a steamer owned and con
trolled by Brunswick and Albany to take
our freights to Charleston, where we can
have it shipped to New York independent
of the Central railroad—build it. We need
other things—build them, and we will
then have taken the first steps iaokin" to
tho solutiou of our problem—the building
up of our beautiful “City by the Sea.”
Quit looking to other people to bring tlieir
money here to build us- up. Commence
tlie good work ourselves, and we’ll soon
see others doming to tbe rescue.

A Grand Wedding.
r l Cuxubebt, Ga., Dec.17, I860.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger: No
doubt you. -.were posted as to
the approaching marriage of Mr.
Arthur Hood and Miss Leila,
tlie accomplished and beautiful daughter
of our mutual friend, John McK. Gunn.
Well, after long pubiic expectation, it
came off last evening. It was at tho ele
gant home of the bride’s father, in tlie
presence of a large assembly of friends.
Tlie bride, in a handsome white satin,
and suitably adorned witli such numerous
details as I could not be expected to tell,
appeared In her radiant loveliness. The
bridegroom looked his best, brightened
with the peculiar hits* of
the hour. . . Mr. Burke Hood and
Miss Gertrudo Gunn supported them on
one aide, and Mr. George McDonald and
Miss Harrison on the other. Miss II,
wore a splendid garnet satin, trimmed
with white lace. Miss Gertrude’s dress
(indescribable by me) was charming as a
spring bouquet, and she as bewitching
ever.
Rev. Mr. Hoyt, pastor of the Presbyte
rian Church, conducted tho ceremony
with due solemnity*
The array of bridal presents was bril
liant. A handsome silver tea service,
four beautiful butter dishes, three dozeu
silver spoons, silver forks, napkin rings,
card basket, a lovely Jtoilet set of silver
and fine glass, and other costly things,
made up a display which your correspond
ent is poorly able to describe, hut wliich
your ready imagination can easily realize.
Such were the contributions of numer
ous friends irom far and near.
In due time the grain'd supper came on.
Tbe table was one of the finest we ever
saw. You know that Mrs. Gunn always
“comes but strong" on the table. No
body can'beat her. Were I to attempt
to tell you all about the good
turkey and salads, the cakes and custards
and trolls and jellies, etc., etc., it would
make your month water. If I fall to do
justice to them with my pen, I feel satis
fied that I did not slight their claims on
my appetite.
At half past twelve, after many wishes
of long life and happiness to the wedded
lovers,-the crowd dispersed, thus termi
nating one of the most enjoyable occa
sions of the departing year in Cuthbert.

“TRIAL BY JURY.”
The above Is the title of Gilbert & Sul

brief notice may be interesting. The trial
i* upon a breach of promise, and contains
many side-splitting situations. Imagino
how this scene properly illustrated would
take: Tbe plaintiff, having made her state

sobbing ou his breast, while her counsel
slugs— hi « , ,roL |.»>C I II* *i- .i” 7-

Monster, monster, drc.ail.Qur fury!
There’s the j lidge sudjw^’n^ jhe j ury,
In the midst of the hubbub tbe poor de
fendant, whose crime was that he loved
two women, rises aud: sings pathetically
iu excuse-
Oh, gentlemen, listen I prayJ« . ,
Though I own my heart , has been rang-

Of nature the laws I obey
For nature is constantly changing,
The moon in her phases is found,
The time aud the wind aud tbe weather.
The montlis in succession come round,

Consider the moral, I pray,
Nor bring a young fellow to sorrow,
Who laves this young lady to-day
And loves il*at young lady to-morrow,
Here the bridesmaid* rush forward and
kneeling to the jury sing—
You cannot cat breakfast all day,
Nor is it the act of a sinner, ’
When breakfast jNUke/raway, - *

This strikes the judge as a reasonable
proposition, but the plaintiff’s counsel ob

marrying two women would be burglary
Saya tbe judge, examining the records
banded him by tbe excited counsel: ;
A nice dilemma we have here,
That calls for all our wit.

Telegraph has.. Urged..upon, the
people of Macon the importance, from
a historical paint of view, of purchasing
ar.djirotecting tliia ancient, sentinel, be
neath whose shadow the city had sprung
into life. Oar latest suggestion was that
tho building be purchased,taken apart care-
fully and re-erected J in the Central City
Park!, This can yet be done. Jhe Um
bers of tlie bouse are, we learn, sound,
and, with the exception of those which
were broken in tlie fall, could be placed in
their former position. But that, which is
intended to be done must be done im
mediately. A few cold nights will do the
work, or rather cause the work cf annihi
lation to be performed. The thanks of
the community arc due to Mr. E. D. Ir
vine, who has painted several fine pictures
of tbe fort ami thus preserved at least a
semblance ol its appearance.
The history of Fort Hawkins has been
so often written that tlie pubiic generally
are familiar with it. Built in the year
18G2, it was named for Colonet Benjamin
Hawkins, who acted as commissioner for
the government aud selected a site for tlie
building. Itwassurroundedby astoekade
and several block bouses, all of which
havo passed away. > No attacks we be
lieve, was ever made upon tlie fort itself,
but fights were iiail 'inlhevldnily, and the
spot was a rendezvous for tlie white set
tlers. Mr. J. II. Butler, in bis liistoiy of
Macon, gives a complete history of Fort
Hawkins. 'V'/', *

Oar Ncwr Methodist Preachers.
The annual conference of South Geor
gia, recently held in Hawkinsvillc, sent,
away two of our most popular and useful
Methodist preachers. Kev. Q. G.N. Mac-
Donell was presiding elder of the Macon
district. He was a faithful and efficient
officer. His . brethren in i the ministry
give liim the credit ot being tho best pre
siding elder in the conference. His wo'rk
-was always,done aud' always well dope.
Ho has. been 1 pastor of both Mulberry
street and F'rst street Methodist Churches
in our city, giving two years to each
charge, and hail become thoroughly Iden
tified with Macon Methodism. Universal
regret is expressed at his removal.-
Mr. MacDouell is succeeded by Dr. A.
T. Maun, an old p&storof Mulberry Street
church, In years agone, as will bo re
membered by the older members of that
church. He is one of the most scholarly
and eloquent pulpit orators in the confer
ence, and will no doubt receive a wairn
reception at the hands of our Methodist
friends. He will be heic sometime next
month.
ltev. T. S. Twitty, the late pastor of
First Street Methodist church, will fill that
pulpit this morning. His people had be
come very much attached to him, and
were greatly disappointed that he was not
returned. He had won upon the commu
nity, and outsiders were astonished at the
mandate that took him away. They knew
nothing of the machinery of ah annual
conference, ami that a Methodist preacher’s
term or office is only one year.
Mr. Twitty, it was said, was wanted
elsewhere, and while he regretted to leave
his people here, . he goes cheerfully to his
new field of labor. He is succeeded by
Rev. B. F. Breedlove, who is said to be a
good preacher, a fine pastor and a refined
gentleman. He has been successful
wherever he has gone and will no doubt
win the affections .and the hearts of his
people lie; e.,
Tlie return of Dr. J. S. Key and Rev. J.
Simmons to their respective charges gives
the utmost satisfaction to their people
They are both zealous and faithful work
ers and their places would be hard to fill.
Rev. B, : H. Sashett, who was at Jones
Chapoi last year, goes to Perry aud will
no doubt mee: with it hearty welcome
from the good people there; 1 J" -

Camilla Urso stands prominent among
the greatest violinists of the century, and
with Americans, whose estimate of the

much by technical skill as the parity and
beauty of tone, she stood without a rival,
save, perhaps, Ola Bull. Her appearance
in Macon will be the third on tbe Ameri

it is hardly possible to believe that tbe
personnel of the Mendelssohn Quiutette
Club could be improved from what it was
when we last heard them, but we have as
surance that such is tbe fact. Among
their number is Herr Frederick Geise,
who is prononneed by professional men to
be the best violoncellist that ever visited
this country.
The prima donna that accompanies
them is Miss Marie Neliini, a pupil of

Editors Telegraph and Messenger; In
justice to myself ami those friends who
have supported, assisted and encouraged
me tor the last two years in ruy work, I
wish to make a plain statemeut of facts.
Two years ago, at the earnest solicita
tion of respectable citizens, I was elected
sexton. I have labored faithfully and
earnestly with my time abd money
to make au efficient officer. Let my
works speak as to tuy success. I have,
with the help of two gentlemen, whom
the •citizens will remember, collected in
public contributions, and not one cent
from those who are now trying to hurl me
downward, enough money to build o fence
vylth red’cedar posts and good plank and
a barbed Wire on top of tlie same, around
the cemetery. Tne wire not going quite all
the way tm The back side, what money
was needing I furnished, with the assist
ance of that noble, generous-hearted,
dead friend of mine, Reuben Guise. I
never got but eigbtv-seveu dollars and
fifty cents from tlie city for the whble of
it. So much for that.
My next effort was to make funeral pro
cessions respectable. In my effort to do so,
and at;the same time get some remuuera-
tipn for my trouble, the price of carriages
toi funerals fell from four dollars (which
price they had beeu at for years, pub
lished statements to .the contrary, not
withstanding) to one dollar, l’atlies
wishing proof can obtain tbe same by
calling ou me and I will show them re
ceipted bills to that effect. No getting
around the truth of the assertion. I pre
sume there are some jealousies about all
this, and some would like to see it broken
up. Mr. Brown published that he would
send carriages for nothing, and if his crop
was a success he would offer further in
ducements. I send carriages now for $2
to $2.50 to funerals in tho city.. So much
for the improvement in this department,
and I propose to make as big a reduction
in another department, as in this one;
just wait and see.
Why,when I took possession of Rose Hill
Cemetery, think of the condition of it and
the way it was kept and go aud look at it
now. I have had employed from three to
twenty-five hauds aua wagons and carts,
working lor weeks for the last two years,
and every week have had more or less
work done. I have woiked all the roads—
tome that had not been worked in fwcnly-
five yeatp, I am tola. In fact, all tlie work
at the Cemetery has been done by me.
All tbe compensation I have got is when
lots were sold and what the good citizens
of Macon gave me to help build the feuce
and the amount before alluded to. ‘
A’ report of the same has been made in
full, of al.l spent at the cemetery aQdtakeu
In, to tbe'treasurer of Rose Hill cemetery,
•Ji W. Burke. 1 made.it out just as soon
as I could, aud carried it to him so that he
could make his yearly report iu time. But
he was absent from. the city. Therefore
it was my unavoidable delay iu making
my report that caused his not to bo
ready when 1 made my report to the
mayor and council oil Tuesday night last.
There has been much talk and commeni
originating and coming from a certain
jealous ring; Jealous of my success, jealous
of my business, jealous of my position as
sexton which two years ago they ridiculed
or laughed at. 1 have this to say: I am
not ashamed of auv act, deed, or expres
sion, dwe or made by me as city sexton
since I have beeu in the office. I feel that
I have done my duty, regardless of any
and all parties. For the proof, ask the
living, who have laid their loved ones in
Rose Hill and Dak Ridge cemeteries.
I have employed policemen for weeks
at a time to catch the vandal* aud tieuds
that go there and steal fine vases and bas^
kets, dig up rare flowers by the roots and
take them away, draw rude and disgrace-
fill figures upon the tombstones ana sum-
iucr-houses, write obscene language aud
expressions upon tbe same, aud leave the
gates open aud let in cattle aud hogs. To
a great extent I have stopped it; but there
is still some of it done, aud woe be to the
parties when £ do catch up with them, for
it is a vile sacrilege that should be severe-
iy dealt with.
One word about the difficulty be
tween Mr. Reichert and myself. 1 learn
ed from a reliable source that Mr. Reich
ert had beeu talking very disrespectfully
of me. I approached him politely and hi
the presence of several gentlemen and
asked for an explanation. He got very
angry aud tbeu we both got mad. I very
deeply regret the occurrence.
As to his published denial of our co
partnership, I most respectfully refer the
citizens to the placard he bad printed and
paid for oat of his own pocket, and to Mr.
Sam Waxelbaum, who witnessed the
trade. I would go into details but feel ft
unnecessary. I never knew the price of a
casket or coffin in the establishment or
sold one without him setting the price.
If he collected over tliia amount he cer-
taluly will pay me my part of tbe profits,
as be has Dever accounted for but $150
‘what it was sold for. For proof, 1
refer to Mr. James Mason, who was at tbe
Brown House at the time and set down
tbe figures. I collected »uly $20 for ice,
embalming, washing, dressing, etc , etc.,
aud shipping, and received a message of
thanks from tbe lady at her Northern
home, who wrote to a lady friend of hers
in this city and expressed her gratefulness
ior my kindness and attention when she
was so much troubled, aud said the re
mains looked as natural when they got
home as they did tho night they were
shipped from Macon. So much for that
very strange report. I certainly did not
wrong her.
I have kept an office at my own ex
pense, and a horse and buggy which have
been used by the citizens of )Macon, when
they wished to go to tbe cemetery and
give orders. I keep from three to ten good
men at tho cemetery all the time, aud at
no time in the day can any ono go to the
cemetery and not find some on* ready to
serve him, if called ou. I am working to
plea»e the public, and my friends especial
ly, and I propose to make a living while i
am at it—aud to save money for all those
who come and patronize me. AU of tbe
above are truths, and I am ready and
willing to stand by them under buy cir
cumstances or emergencies. I say to ail
those who are jealous of my success, that,
it re-elected,l propose todoin tbe future as
in the past—my duty, as I see it, to one
aud ail. I mean business. Very respect
fully, J. J. Clay.

Rochefort Insane.—A dispatch to
the London ifetrs says that the Inlran-
slgeant, Rochefort’s journal, to-day calls -
M. Gambetta a liar, robber, forger, false
Genoese and a wretch worse than Thiers
or MacMabon. The France states that
in consequence of rumors about Roche
fort’s sanity it suppresses an article in
I
Ben. Hiusdlton's Confession, and
How He Made It.
Tbe man arrested for setting fire to the
St. Peter Insane Asylum remains in the
county Jail at St. Peter, Minn. He was
visited by a Pioneer-Press reporter, ter
whom he made a statement in the nature
of a .confession. His name is Ben Ilns-
selton, and he was sent to the asylum
from NVorthington, He was ordinarily so
tractable as lo be employed around tho
hospital in menial duties' and wa3 sup
posed to be so entirely harmless that he
was allowed the liberty of the entire
building. He is rather small in stature,
very closely knit, is about five feet eight
Indies in height and weighs 140 pounds.
His hair is slightly tinged with gray, ami
in relating tlie horrible deed, which-
at the same time lie acknowl
edged, his small gray eyes light
ed with a-fiendish expression of delight-
which caused a shudder to run llirougb
the veins of his hearers. When asked
why he set the building on fire, liis reply
wlav, fiercely: “ them, I would like to
burn tliem ail. Haven’t they broke my
head on the stone floor four or five times?
All I am sornr for is that tbe naphtha un
der the femaic wing did not burn, and
then Iwonld have had them all,old Bart
lett as well as the rest. I can only die
once, but only regret that I did not com
plete the business. I am ready to stretch
hemp, for I made them squirm when I
was on top.”
The foregoing, with many more blaS->
pbemous and incoherent expressions, \v»
all that'could be Earned from the man
himself, but tbe following facts were
gathered from other persons: Husseiton,
having been employed on some out-door
work around the hospital, in the desire to
finish the task was detained a little later
than usual, and on returning to supper he
found that his meal was cold and unpal
atable. While eating he swore vengeance
on the attendants, and told the engineer,
William Pearce, that he would have re
venge on them, If lie had to
burn down the whole hospital
to obtain it. No attentien appears to
have been paid to his threats, and Iu a
short time the fire was discovered in the
north wing. The maniac’s story that he
used naphtha is confirmed by the state
ment of several firemen who were early
ou the ground, that they heard a dull ex
plosion from the cellar. Immediately af
ter his incarceration he informed Us cap-
tor or the locality of the other can of
naphtha under the female wing, which, by
some providential cimimstAnce bad faile J
to ignite, tliereby saving the lives of hun
dreds of helpless female patients.
