The Columbus Times has this wail
over the uncertainties of Uncle Sami
postal routes. It says:
The mail line from here to Lumpkin,
and the line from here to Florence,have at
last ceased to run at all. Yesterday Dr.
Woolridge, of Jamestown, who is the sub
contractor for these lines, notified Mr.
Johnson, our worthy postmaster, that he
would carry it no longer, the price paid by
the contractor not being sufficiently re
munerative, aud Mr. Johnson lias been
uuable to get any one as yet to carry it at
tbe price at which the contractors, Messrs.
Sawyer & Wyatt, of Barbersville, Ky., bid
it olT, this being all lio is authorized to
pay. Till some arrangement is made tbe
mails for Lnmpktn, Union and Florence,
will go around by Eufaula and Cuthbert,
aud those for Cusseta via Buena Vista,
and those for the other offices on these
lines go not at all. This is but another
evidence of tbe miserable system of let
ting mail contracts to parties living hun
dreds of miles from the proper scene of
their labors, adopted by tbe best govern
ment the world ever saw.
Griffin News: Our readers will recall
tbe accident which happened to Miss Cal-
lie Irvin at Covington a few davs ago.
She was attending school there, and a f!-w
evenings ago while in her room studying,
was fatally burned. It had been her cus
tom, since early childhood, to lie in front
of the fire. On the evening in question
she took her book and assumed her
favorite position near tbe fire. A
spark of fire fell upon her dress and in a
few moments site was enveloped in flames.
Friends came to her assistance and extin
guished the flames, but tier injuries were
severe and painful. She lingered until
yesterday morning, when she died. Tbe
deceased young lady was tbe daugh
ter of Colonel Sam D. Irvin, of Milner,
aud was eighteen years old. She was a
most estimable young lady, and loved by
all. Her remains will be brought to this
city for Interment. She will tie burled
from tbe residence of Mrs. J. M. Keith, at

Auoubta News: A worthy gentleman
from New York, a wealthy Republican,
recently in Augusta, declared that he had
never anywere been mdre kindly received
than during a Southern tour,and be added
that, as to tbe so-called “outrages," the
same thing existed at tbe North, but the
people there, though perfectly aware of
them, were not as honest in confessing
them. Our Republican contemporaries

statement.
Atlanta Post-Appeal: Senator Hill is
determined to force the Kellogg case to an

It is now claimed that a majority of the

Sylvania Telephone: Mrs. Davis, of
Savannah, came up to Sylvania last Friday
alter her little sou, who killed a negro Uny
with a toy pistol in that city a few weeks
since. She found the little fellow stop
ping with relatives near this place. lie
had made his way from Savannah to Bryan
county and thence to this place. He re
turned to his home with his mother on
Saturday. The fatal termination of what
was, doubtless, intended only'to frighten
tbe uegro boy will sadden Ids whole life,
and, we hope, warn other boys against
trilling with fire-arms, however harmless
they may seem, for, as an old woman
remarked, “there it danger in a gun with
out lock, stock or barrel, for tbe old man
gave her thunder with ibe ram-rod.”
Home Tribune: On last Saturday it
seems that Andrew Thomas and John Al
ford went together to Euharla, where tbe
election tor justice of tlie peace was going
on. After voting they started home, ana
on the way commenced quarreling about
the different candidates. Blows follow
ed words, and the affair was wound up
by Andrew Thomas drawing his pistol
and shooting Alford, who died in an hour

the trouble.

Savannah New. On Monday night,
between ten and eleven o’clock,
a lighter, laden with cotton,
was towed by a tug from the
city to the ships Success and Adolphus,
which were lying at Venus’ Point waiting
to complete their cargoes. The lighter had
on board some six hundred bales of cot
ton, and just as she reached tbe side of
the Success, a sudden swerve caused her
to careen greatly,, and about one hundred
and thirty bales were tumbled in the river,
and, the tide running out, tbe bales were
soon floating down the placid waters to
the ocean. In the darkness and confusion
incident to the accident, it was impossible
to secure the bales at the time. Yesterday
morning about 12 o’clock, tbe residents
on Tybee Island were surprised to
observe a flotilla of cotton bales sweeping
rapidly down the river, and prompt
measures were taken to secure them.
Mr. Henry Valleau, the telegraph opera
tor at the Tybec station, succeeded in re
covering thlrty-oue bales, and Mr. Ybanes
July tiie new department will be fully ar.
ranged, and will make tbe already attrac
tive ball more so.

hours bad elapsed from tbe time the cot
ton was tumbled into the river at Venus’
Point to tbe tirno it was seen passing by
Tybeo light. A small fishing schooner
was seen during the day moving about,
and it is supposed she was picking up cot
ton. A small schooner which came up to
tbe city last night bad a lot of cotton on
board, probably secured on tbo way up.
The cotton is fully Insured
Columbus Times: The recent very
bad spell of weather has worked great
hardships to range stock. We learn that
a great many have died within the past
few days. Numbers of cows are reported
to have died. In one instance wo learn
that twenty out of a flock of goa’s died in
ow* day. The weather was so sudden,
and the severity so unusual it found own
ers unprepared. Stock that have been ac
customed to the range as their only sub
sistence have fared very badly, and num
bers of them that were in a low condition
have died. Snow and ice lay on the
ground for seven days, almost completely
covering up tbe grass and other means of
subsistence. We trust tbe loss of stock is
not so large as tbe number that have
died in the sections heard from would in
dicate.
Columbus Enquirer. Last night the
report reached this city that the Southern
Express offico at West Point had been
robbed and the agent knocked in the head
and wa3 fatally injured. We telegraphed
for the particulars and obtained the fol
lowing account of the outrageous affair:
On the night of January 3rd, between 9
in /.vir.,.1- Hr A. Wilson, the
and 10 o’clock, Mr. E. A. Wilson, tbe
agent of tbe Southern Express Company
aud telegraph operator, was badly beaten
and robbed of SGSo and some valuable
papers. Of tbe amount lost $390 belonged
to Mr. Wilson and $93 to the company.
A note against Mr. Parnell for $50 was
among the papers stolen. Tlie money in
the drawers was not disturbed. The
agent was in the office iu the
evening at the close of the day’s
business, when a stranger came
up and asked permission to come
in and warm. After sitting about the office
for some time the stranger left aud Mr.
Wilson got iip and went to the safe to de
posit the money taken in during the day.
He washed his hands and went to tho
door to throw out tbe water, and as lie
turned lie was struck on the back of the
head with a stick of wood by some un
known person. He was found by the
watchman at ten o’clock, and was lying
near the ticket office in an unconscious
condition, with a terrible gash on tho side
of his head and also other wounds. On
his desk was found a dispatch dated 9:20,
which showed that he had been in a sens-
less condition for nearly an
hour before he was discovered. It is
not known wl>o committed tbe dia
bolical deed, but suspicion rests on two
men—one of whom was in West Point on
the 3d, aud claimed to be an employe of
tlie Gteen Line, out bunting up lost cars
which belonged to tlie company, and who
gave his name as Reany, and that his
some is in Newnan, Ga.; and the other is
the man who came into tlie office during
the evening to warm. These two men
were seeu in private conversation several
times during tlie day. No clue to their
whereabouts had been obtained up to 10
o’clock last night. The people of West
Point are justly indignant at tbe horrible
outrage, and are making efforts to secure
the perpetrators. Tbo young man upon
whom tlie murderous assault was made is
said to be a worthy and most excellert
gentleman.
On Thursday last a man, who gave Ids
name as W. M. Jones from Greenville,
South Carolina, stole a bottle of wbisky, a
pistol, 75 cigars,a bit of jewelry and about
$S in money, from tbe Altamaba house at
Jcsup. He was arrested and Is now in
V^ayns county jail.
Toe people of Richmond county are in
a delightful muddle about tbe election of
sheriff in tbat county; a formal protest has
been filed, and tbe matter will undergo a
legal investigation. Illegal voting ia a
question tbat demands tbe attention of
our wiseacres.
Mr. H. T. Smith has purchased tbe
Swainsboro Herald, and makes liis bow

Mr. W. A. Singleton has retired from

Vista Argus,and is succeeded by his sons,
W. M. Singleton as editor and J. W. Sin
gleton as associate. They are both stir

At a meeting of the board of directors
of tlie Young Men's Library Association,
held Tuesday night, Secretary Watson
read the following letter:
% St. Simon’s Island, November 4,
leW.—Mr. Lsuiii Gholstin—Dkak Sir:
When in Atlanta,! mentioned to you tbat
undercertain conditions, I would give my
collection of natural history to tbe Young
Men’s Library. You asked me to put my
proposition iu writing, which I now do.
My collection consists of over 5,000 well
marked species and varieties, all in good
order, properly named and located. Many
of the species are very heavily duplicated,
which makes the collection contain about
40,000 specimens. Tbe. duplicates are
valuable for the purpose of carrying on
exchanges for tbe increase of tbe collec
tion. The shells are all in cardboard
trays, and are arranged iu their natural
order. I have also a collection of birds’
epss, I believe tbe largest private collec
tion in the Southern States, ali properly
named.
Tbe above collection I propose to give
to tbe Young Men's Library upon the fol
lowing terms and conditions; Tbat lie
appointed curate of the museum at a sala
ry of $150 per annum, so tbat I will be
able to spend one or two mouths in Atlan
ta each year iu arranging and preparing
exchanges for tbe further increase of the
collection. It is now the largest collec
tion of shells in tho Southern States, and
with proper exchanging could, with the
number of duplicates iu the collection, be
made one of tbe largest in this country.
Should my proposition be accepted, I will
commence packing up tbe shells and eggs
and be ready to bring them to Atlanta
doling the summer. Yours truly,
James Postell.
The board considered the proposition,
He
says it is a pleasant town, healthy aud
quiet, the people intelligent and the soci
ety all that can be desired, but Columbus
is ills home and ho expects to remain
here.
Atlanta Post-Appeal: Last Wednes
day evening Doc Moon met Mr. J. B. '
his name put cu a list with the number,
which should be furnished the manager of
election. This certificate must be shown
to tlie manager by the party voting, tlie
name aud uuinber to correspond with tbat
furnished by tho tax collector. Tho law
is somewhat similar to that used in Franco,
and is the only way we can see at present
to correct tlie evils of illegal voting.
Cuthbert Appeal: The recent cold
weather has almost entirely destroyed tho
oat aud wheat crop. Acres of the former
have been ruined. Farmers should sow
again at once, if seed can be liad. -
Albany News and Advertiser: The
readers of tbo News and Advertiser have
had the particulars of the killing of tho
colored man, Charles Raymond, ky his
employer, Mr. A. S. Motighon, at the
plautation of the latter near this city, on
Tuesday last. We have now to inform
them that .Mr. Motighon has been ad
judged a demented inebriate, and will be
sent to tbe asylum for tiie insane at Mill'
edgevilie. A writ of lunacy liaviug been
sworn out against him, and the demand
usual in such cases having been made
upon tbo Ordinary, that functionary sum'
moned a jury of inquiry yesterday after
noon to take the case of tlie unfortunate
young mau into consideration and pass
upon his condition. Drs.Hilsman, Mc
Millan and Alfriciid, who had attended
Mr. Mopghon at different tiin s for sev
eral years past, and who had ex-
amined him in his present coudi-
: tion, testified that they believed him
Ward near Carrollton and fired upon him to be of unsound mind; that lie was a de-
with a shotgun, inflicting a terrible wound mented inebriate and a fit subject for the
in the hip and abdomen. Moon was em
ployed by Ward in his saw mill. He gavo
uo explanation of tlie affair. Moon is now
in jail.
Buena Vista Argus: The first per
son to the front in railroad offers is a
widow lady, who says that she will be
one of Gfty or one of a hundred to furnish
a good hand and feed him one year to
work on the Buena Vista railroad. She
says, also, that sho sometimes feels like
taking her horse and buggy and canvass
ing the county for similar propositions.
Two others have consented to furnish
a hand and feed him for the same pur
pose.
Atlanta Constitution: A car load
of colored emigrants, sixty-five in number,
passed through here last night at mid
night, enroute from Wilmington, N. C.,
for Texas via Montgomery, Ala. They
were quite jolty, and did not seem to care
a cent for wind and weather. Their fond
ness for rations settles the point that they
are ration-al beings.
Dalton Enterprise: The cooking
range of the Duff Green House exploded
last Friday morning, making a report
which could be heard a quarter of a mile.
Several of the servants were injured, one
or two severely.
SAVANNAn News: A remarkable cir
cumstance iu connection with tlie recent
cold snap was the effect on the fish along
the coast, large schools being driven in
shore and in shallow water. Strange as
it may seem, it is asserted tbat tbe fish,
particularly bass, and trout, were observed
to throw themselves bodily out of tbe wa
ter on land. An old negro caught thirty-
one very fine large bass in this way at
Raccoon Key, near Warsaw. On St. Cath
erine's, a net thrown in tbe water was al
most instantly filled by fine large fisli, and
fishermen found some difficulty in hauling
the nets in. Others were observed to kill
tliein in tbe water with oars. This novel
occurrence was witnessed generally all
along the islands to the southward, and in
tbe rivers near the coast.

Albany Neios and Advertiser: About
fifty mules belonging to tbe Georgia Laud
and Cotton Company were sold at auction
in this city yesterday. Tbe sale was well
attended, and tlie general opinion was
tbat the males brought fair nrices. Some
of the animals were very poof and were
knocked off at from thirty to fifty dollars
each, but others brought three times as
much.

Cartersville Free Press: A good

and a representative of tlie News and
Advertiser was in tlie room with the jury
when the unfortunate youug man was
brought before them. We never saw a
more restless, nervous, down-cast, miser
able-looking and altogether pitiable man
than he is. He presents a temperance
lecture more forcible than could possibly
be pictured with pen or uttered with words
of eloquence. To pity him, one need only
to see him. After due investigation the
jury adjudged Mr. Mougbon to be a de
mented inebriate, aud recommended that
he he confined iu the State Lunatic Asy

them was saved. Some of tbe furniture
in tbe residence was removed. Tbe loss
is estimated at $2,000, which fails heavily
upon Mr. Amos. Wo are informed that
had there not been some young ladies vis
iting ih: family at tbe time, who discover*

precincts, East Macon excepted, met at
the court bouse yesterday in accordance
with the law governing elections, but ow
ing to the fact that tbo returns from tbe
court house precinct bad not been com
pleted, adjourned until 12 o’clock to-day.
Tbe East Macon returns failed to reach
tbe court house by 12 o’clock, and we
learn tbat Mr. Ross intends entering a
protest against its being received at ali,
tbe law not having been complied with.
The returns from the other precincts were
not unsealed, and as no copies had been
kept of them (Howard excepted) tbe com
plete result caunol be given. After twen
ty-four hours of bard labor the managers
made up £nd sealed the tally sheets and
ballots belonging to tbe court house pre
cinct last night. The following is a copy
of it: - . .
For ordinary—J. A. McManus, 950; C.
T. Ward, 058; H. F. Strohecker, 177.
Cierk of court—A. B. Ross, 1,805.
Sheriff— G. S. Wescott, 1,084; E. A.

Tax Receiver—R. J. Anderson, 1,789.
Surveyor—J. C. Wheeler, 1,750.
Coroner—St. P. Giiardie, 734; J. P.
Chapman, 507; Huffman, 320; Joo Tripp,

Strohecker, 7.
Clerk of Court—A. B. Ross, 193.

Tnpp, 45.
Commissioners—Ingalls, 113; Giles, 170;
Fletcher, 178; Stubbs, 145; Obear, 0.
These returns indicate that our ticket
of yesterday was correctly prophesied,
with the exception of Coroner. It is
probable tbat Chapman will not show
enough majority elsewhere to overcome
Girardie’s at tbe court house and iu the
Howard.
- Columbus Enquirer: For a week or
two past there have been a large number
of negroes passed through this city eu
route to Texas. Every afternoon tbe sec
ond class coach of tho passenger train
from Macon is crowded with them, and
frequently to such an extent that a por
tion are forced to wait for the .next train.
They say good homes and better wages
have beenpromised them, and this is the
only reason assigned for leaving comforta
ble quarters in Georgia. Tbe majority of
them are from tbe southwestern part of
tbe State. We may well expect to see all
who arc able to do so returning iu the
course of a year. They will not take ad
vice, but will go to a new country and
learn a lesson which will, never be forgot
ten. Some say they will try tbe Louisi
ana swamps. Of them we may uot to see
many return. Theta are emigrant agents
at work, and as tbe practice is unlawful it
would be well for all tbe farmers to keep
a good lookout and catch some of them.
Wabsknton Clipper: On our first
pace is a clipping from the Macon Tele
graph relative to the wbisky law of
South Carolina. We are frank to say
that we most emphatically entertain the
opposite opinion ta tbat of our Macon con
temporary. We expect to see whisky leg
islated out of Georgia iu a few years, and
feel sorry that tbe Empire State of the
Sooth does not lead the matter instead of
our little sister “by tbe sea.” Tbe South
should legislate whisky from her border
it for no other reason than to overthrew
the infamous reveuue tax carried by tbe
people ou tbat score, and also for tlie pur
pose of reducing tbe price of graiu to tbat
extent tbat meat and grain may be bought
cheap enough from tbe Northwest to make
cotton at five cents per pound and get
rich. Tbe great railroads that are now
coming down through our territory must
bring us cheap provisions, and cbeap
wbisky. We need something to eat, not
something to drink. If the South, aud
especially Georgia, does not begin to arm
A Serloiw Accident.
Yesterday morning Dr. T. M. C. Rice,
who lives in tbe eastern edge of tlie conn
ty, left his little son in bis buggy to bold
the horse while he transacted some busi
cess. He bad not been long absent be
fore a drove of mules, which were being
exercised in the streets came rushing by
and excited the horse. The animal im
mediately dashed off down Fourth street
at full speed, tho little boy bravely retain
ing bl3 seat aud exerting all possible
strength to stop him. Following tho
mules, the horse turned up Wharf street
near the river, safely rounding the cor
ner.
Mr. H. B. Davis, who was on horse
back, put spurs to his horse and tried
to head the runaway off in case
he should attempt to turn into Third
street, knowing that the strip of en
closed ground designated as- “Ayres
Park” made the street at that point very
narrow. He had gotten within fifteen feet
of tlie buggy when the buggy-horse dasked
upon tlie sidewalk, aud, as he passed
round the corner, swung the buggy agaiust
a post which burled it against a tree. As
it struck it turned half over and crushed
the boy between the buggy-seat and tree
trunk. He was was picked up and carried
into tbe residence of liis aunt, Mrs. G. M,
Davis. Tbe extent of bis injuries could
not be ascertained, but they are serious,
The courage exhibited by tbe little fellow
was the subject of comment among those
who witnessed tbe runaway, and all re
gretted tbat he did not escape iDjury.
Tbe accident was tlie result of a cus
tom permitted, wo believe, ir. no other
city, the custom of driving droves of mules
through the streets for exercise or water.
There are times whan the streets have to
be cleared of all pedestriaus in order tbat
mules may pass, and we Lave seen ladies
run from tbe sidewalks even to save
tbcmsclres. Lotus abolish tbe playful
mules by requiring halters to be placed
upon them.
LOUISE KING ASSOCIATION.
A Step TitUea In tlie Bicbt Direction
—Special Notice.
To those who have in charge the wel
fare of dumb animals in this city, we
commend the following. Many times
within the past year havo wo been called
upon to chronicle acts of cruelty to ani
mals, and we would bo glad to see our so
ciety for tbo prevention of such crimes
put in working order again. Tho tele
phone overcomes one difficulty with which
tbe officers have had to contend, the diffi
culty of receiving communications from
persons witnessing acts of cruelty.
The Louise King Association for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, whose
good work has met the approval of not
only this community but the Slate, has
given another evidence of its enterprise by
having a connection made with tbo gen
eral telephone exchange ami the office of
tlie secretary, Mr. Nathan K. l’latshek,
yesterday. The increasing demand for
tiie assistance of this association in vari
ous sections of this State bas somewhat
curtailed its usefulness in this city for the
past three months,. but with this extra
facility of a telephone connection, where
by easy communication can be bad with
every member of its executive committee,
its attorney and special agent, the great
benefit to be derived by this community
will be readily appreciated.
Since the organization of this associa
tion, tbe great improvement in the ap
pearance aud care of the dumb brute has
ieeii already seen, and it is now tlie pur
pose of the association to give attention to
every case coming to their notice or re
ported to them. One noticeable feature
about tbe course they have pursued, is
its efforts to suppress cruelty to auimais
bv kindly advice and timely warning to
ail, instead of prompt legal prosecutions,
as carried out by a great many
similar societies. Tills alone should
merit for iu tbe great assistance it de
serves. Certainly, like all things, it has
its friends and enemies, but its enemies
can in no way affect its workings, there-
tor the association continues to prosper.
We highly commend tbe course the asso
ciation has Just taken, and bespeak for it
tbe hearty and continued support of the
belter class of our citizens. Iu our spe
cial notice column appears a notice from
the Secretary.

Useful Citizen.
\Vn find in the East Florida Banner
the following brief sketch of Rev. John

Conference at Ocala. The editor of tlie
Dispatch having been an employe oil tlie
old Journal and Messenger during its
publication in the establishment of John
W. Burko & Co., in 180S-’09, can cheer
fully indorse every good word said of tho
snbject’of tiffs sketch.
During tlie session of the conference we
had ’.lie pleasure of meeting the above
gentleman, probably tlie best and most
widely kuown man in the.-Southern
Meiboiiist church. Mr. Burke is now assis
tant eriilorof the Macon Wesleyan Chris
tian Advecale, nnd is iu many respects
one of tbe most remarkable of tho mapy
remarkable men of Georgia. He entered
a printing cilice at Athens as an appren
tice a timid couutry boy aud served live
years for bis board and clothes and at tlie
end of the time was fourteen dollars in
debt, and served six weeks longer to work
out tbe debt.
From Athens he went to Macon and
Im gradually worked liis way up nntil
now he is at the head of the largest pub
lishing house in Georgia and is editor of
the most extensively read of the Methodist
publications, and could, if lie was disposed
write a “recollection of a busy life” as in

Horace Greeley. Mr. Burke embraced
piety at an early age, was always punctual
iu attending Sunday school, and after
wards became a teacher and a preacher,
and notwithstanding Lis extensive busi
ness occupations bas never failed to
preach at least one sermon a week, be
sides taking an active part in the Sunday

A GREAT FIRE.
Four Stores Ilnrneil—V. T. Fox Burned
Alive.
The following from the Barnesvllie
Gazette gives particulars of the fife men-
tined iu yesterday’s Telegraph and
Messenger :
Iu Thouiaston, last Tuesday flight, four
stores aud their stocks were entirely
burned up. Mr. C. T. Fox was in liis
store, and his legs and head were burned
off tbe body aud the body considerably
burned when it was rescued from the
closing up of tiie fire. Tiie fire issupposed
to have originated from Mr. Fox going into
his store intoxicated and turning over a
lamp, ot building up a fire, from which the
house caugh’. He went into the store at
half-past IX o’clock to eat some oysters, as
he said.
Mr. Joseph Alien, one of the parties
burned out, had $0,000 insurance. Mr.
C. T. Fox, with a stock of about $2,000,
had no insurance. Captain James W.
Atwater had a stock of about $12,(XX) and
no insurance. Mr. Jacobs liad $4,000 iu
surance on a stock of $0,000 or S7,000.
TIIE ELECTION.
Prospect for nuollicr Tcdlons Contest.
Yesterday tho managers of the various
products met at tiie court house, and it
seemed as if the entire vote was about to
be made public, when a protest, or a pa
per in the nature of a protest, was served
upon them, aud after the affair had been
discussed at sojnn length, tho managers
adjourned until Tuesday next, in lieu of
something better to do. As we under
stand it, the matter is simply this: One of
the candidates claims that there is a large
number of illegal votes in the boxes, and
desires that the provisions of the law be
carried out. The law brought to bear In
tlie case is an amendment of an act passed
iu 1S02. It is as foliows:
“And it shall not be lawful for any
manager of an election or other person to
receive any money for taxes on the day of
election, except the tax collector, and if
any voter shall vote who has not paid liis
taxes Ills vote shall be illegal, and the
commissioners who consolidate the le
turns of tbe election shall uot couut such
votes in making out the return.”
Such is the law. Tbe question arises
how can it be carried out? How are the
commissioners to know what votes are il
legal or what not P Tho tax returns, it
is said, should be the guide, but in this
instance it was a physical impossibility
for the tax collector to furnish the mana
gers with tho usual lists iu time,
aud while the lists will i
show whom of them taxpayers have set
tled, they will not show liow many of the
votera whose names do not appear on the.
lists, wore just of age, were above age, or
had lint recently become citizens by
moving here. For instance, suppose A
voted, and his name does not appear on
the tax list, as having paid up, where can
the proof of. illegality be obtained when
there is a possibility of his being just *f
age, over age, or but recently a resident of
the county aud owing no taxes ? We pre
sume, however, the matter will be settled
before Tuesday.

A It EM ARK ABLE FAME.
The Ilodjr ot a loans Lady Who Died
Over a Week Nlnee Bull Warn.
Tlie Atlanta Daily Phonograph contains
the following account of a singular occur
rence. It is somewhat similar to a case
that came under tho personal notice of
tho writer ten years since, and was the
subject of general discussion in Washing
ton city. A young lady dieiLaud the day
was appointed for her burial. When th *
coffin was about to be closed a deep flus
was noticed upon her cheeks, and pro
ceedings . were suspiuded. Physicians
were summoned, but differed in tbeir
opinion-as-to-whether life was extinct.'
Finally tiie body became cold and white
again. Another day was appointed, but,
as before, color returned, and tlie same
excitement followed. Finally, after more
than a week bad passed, decay set it, and
the funeral took place.
. One week ago yesterday, Miss Minuio
Byrd, the fourteen-year-old daughter of
T. A. Byrd, a well-known printer of this
city, was pronounced dead by tlie attend
ing physician, Dr. Simpson, and placed in
a casket ready for burial. Tbe funeral
was arranged to take place the Sunday
afterupon following, aud at the appointed
hour the hearse and carriages were at the
door ready to take those iu attendance
upon tbo funeral to Oakland Cemetery.
A few moments before the funeral services
were to commence, Mr. Frank Ridg-
noticed that a small flower had fallen
from one ot the hands of tlie corpso into
the space between tbe body aud the side
of tbe coffin, the lid of which had never
been placed on. Mr. Ridge lifted the flow
er, and as he attempted to place it iu tlie
position lrom which it had fallen, noticed
that the hands of tbe deceased were still
warm, and also tbat tbe lips and care
were still highly colored and also warm.
He called the attention of a lady to tlie
fact and asked her to put her hand under
tbe corpse and see if the back
was warm. The lady did as request
ed and found tbat there was still
considerable warmth in that portion
tbo body lying next to tlie bottom
of tbe coffin. These observations were
soon made known to those in attendance,
and tbe hearse and carriages were dis
missed. The room was cleared and sev
era! gentlemen held a conference for the
E urpose of ascertaining what was best to
e done. They made an examination of
the condition of the body, and after some
discussion decided that life was extinct.
The mother of tlie child about this timo
interposed and insisted that the remains
should uot bo hurried as long as there
was any reason for believing tbat her
child
WAS STILL ALIVE.
Nothing more was done until tlie fol
lowing day, when Mr. Green Holland, the
keeper of Oakland cemetery, called at the
house for the purpose of ascertaining why
it was that tlie fuueral did not take place.
He thought that something was wrong, as
he had prepired a grave at the request of
a friend of tlie family who notified him of
tiie death. When Dr. Holland reached
the house ho learned ail of the facts in
the case, and stated to Mr. Byrd that if
lie would send tlie body as it was to tbe
cemetery he would take care iBft until
further developments were reached. This
was done, and tlie body sent to Oakland
where tbe casket was deposited in tbe
dead house. Since that day there lias
been no perceptible change iu tbe condi
tion of tbo body.
NO SIGNS OF DECAY
are noticed, and certain jiortions of tbe
body are yet warm and lifelike. During
tbe past four days quite a number of per
sons have visited tiie cemetery for tbe pur
pose of ascertaining if what they had
beard was true.
A number of tbo physicians of tbe city
have investigated the matter aud can
come to no satisfactory conclusion. The
case is one oT the most remarkable on rec
ord, aud what will be dene with the body
remains to be seen; at present we can’t say.

Hyacinth Culture.
Tbo following hints on hyacinth cul
ture may be of benefit to our lady friends
whose flowers have been cut off by tbe
cold weather. There Is no prettfer orua
ment for a window lhau natural flowers
A few buib3 of hyacinths well grown
give as fine a show in tbe windows dur
ing the spring months as any plaut
grown. Not only is it the colorings which
are attractive, but a few plants in bloom
will perfume tbe whole house.
They can be grown In a great many dif
ferent ways—In glasses filled with water,
in pots filled witli soil aud in moss or
sphagnum in a box or ornamental pot or
vase. The great secret in raising hya
cinths is getting good roots upou the bulbs
before tlie flower spikes begin to appear.
In selectingbulbs always get such as are
firm around the bud aud well shaped. If
such arc socured, there is no trouble iu
getting them to start soots soon after be
ing placed fn tho material m which they
are to bo grown.
When potting the bulbs fill the pots
neariy to the top with soil; then make a
small hole, into which place tbe bulb;
then add more soil and press it firmly
around the bulb. If this is not attended to,
as tiie roots start, they are apt to lift tbe
bulb out of tiie soil. To mow them in
glasses, fill with water sufficiently high to
allow the base of tbe bulb to touch it,
an l,as it evaporates, keep supplying when
necessary.
Tlie single hyacinths generally bloom
earlier than the double, and to me appear
just as pretty. The Roman hyacinths are
the most useful for florists, as they can be
forced into bloom much earlier, and, al-
tli->uuli the spikes are nut so large, several
ofthem are usually produced from the
same bulb.
The culture of hyacinths in beds is very
simple. Enrich tbe soil with well-rooted
manure, dig deep, and level tbe bed on
tbo surface; then plant tbe bulbs about
six inches deep. Give the bed a good
mulching witli manure, or any luatkrial
which will prevent frost from getting too
deep into the soli. Before the bulbs begin
to grow in tbe spring, remove the mulch.
The flower-spikes soon appear, and the
labor upon them is repaid witli beautiful
flowers at a seasou when but few flowers
are to be seen.
After they have finished flowering and
the foliage lias decayed, lift the bulbs,
dry, ami store away in paper bags, for
next fail’s planting.—2f. Mitten, in Prai
