Macon, January Oth. GEORGIA* i*ii ESS. Things matrimonial are in a bad way in Montezuma. The town contains just thirty-five more women than men, and yet one woman accuses another of marrying across-eyed, snaggled-tooth, bow-legged villain. Mb. Robert Lampkin, of Columbia county, is reported as frozen to death few nlghta since while riding from Au gusta to bis home In Columbia. Superintendent Smart, of Indiana has been studying the public school sys tem at the South. He reports a surpris ing growth of the system in Georgia and Tennessee. On Monday night the dwelling of Mr. Charles Carrol, on Tybec Island, was de stroyed by fire. There was $1,000 insu rance on it, On Tuesday, a fire broke out in the _ suburbs ol Savannah, beyond the junction of the Coast Line, and Savannah, Florida and Western railroads, which resulted in the loss of five small frame bouses. Rev. R. P. Kerr, late pastor of the Presbyterian church in Columbus, has left that city to become assistant pastor with the venerable Dr. Axson,of the Indepeud] •nt Presbyterian Cburcli in Savannah. The thaw has set in and the little creeks with big rivers are swolen, bound ing and rushing through a dripping coun try. Overflows are reported everywhere and sleighs have adopted side wheel at tachments for the present. Verily, revo lution is a law of nature The lato Attorney General Akcrman has left a widow and five young sons living quietly in their pretty little home near Cartersville, Ga. Mrs. Akennauis, unaided, preparing her boys for college. Sbo lias taught them all they know and one is reading Cicsarand the other Virgil. Yesterday morning, says the Colum bus Enquirer, we made a note of the fact that Rev. J. E. Evans, of Rome, was stricken with paralysis. He Is well known here, having preached in Colurn bus for eight yean, aud bis many friends will be glad to kuow that he has entirely recovered from the attack. 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 1 o’clock this afternoon. Montezuma Weekly’. Uncle Joe Drum- right, an aged colored man, while stand ing in his door, one night recently, sud denly was seen to fall, and before assis tance could reach him he was dead. Heart disease brought about bis untimely death. 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 will not be in a hurry to publish this statement. Atlanta Post-Appeal: Senator Hill is determined to force the Kellogg case to an issue as soon after tbe recess as possible. It is now claimed that a majority of the committee on privileges and elections have agreed to stand by Mr. Hill and demand action by the Seuate. Senator Bailey, of the committee, says the object of this move is solely to dispose of tbe case and Lave it ofTtbe docket of the committee. 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 or t wo. Whisky was at the bottom of all the trouble. Talbotton Register: On Saturday morning last, as C'spL S. G. Murpby and family weie sitting comfortably before a there in time to effect a great deal. Capt. Murpliy lost the larger portion of his fur niture anil bedding, while the outhouses barely escaped the devouring flames. The estimated loss is, perhaps, $2,000- insurance $1,000. The family now have comfortable quarters with friends in Tal- botlon. 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. Atlanta Phonograph: Captain E. P. Howell, referring to tbe article which ap peared in tho Phonograph of yesterday upon tbe United States marshal, in which “make buckle and tongue meet.” This is ‘ the experience of every householder or head of a family. You may ask them ail, and the same story of life’s battle will be told. Mr. Stephens is right, as he always Augusta News: What this State needs, he is arraigned as the master spirit of the 1 or at least Richmond county, is astringent movement to remove the marshal, says: j registration law. This is the only way “At the proper time I will tell why I ask- j illegal voting can be corrected. When a ed to have my name taken from the Fitz- ■ man has paid his taxes he should be giren simmons bond. The matter is now being a numbered certificate to this effect., ami investigated, and will be settled at au early day.” Dalton Citizen: Mr. R. Lanier, a worthy and respected citizen of Whitfield county, was found dead in bis bed one morning recently. His sudden demise is attributed to heart disease. . Buena Vista Argus: At a dance at Mr. Isaac Blackstoue’s, near Averctt & Downs’ mill, a difficulty arose between Clayton Thompson, Berry Hillman, Isaac Blackstone and Tom Livingston. Tbe three combined against Thompson and lie nar rowly escaped witli his life. He wa3 stabbed in tbe left shoulder, and liis coat cut in half a dozen different places. Irwinton Appeal: Maj. Wui. Burns, the worthy and efficient engineer on the Milledgevillo and Eatonton railroad, was the recipient of a handsome, temporary, present in the shape of a new engine di rect from the Baldwin Locomotive works. Mr. Daniel O’Sullivan, the conductor,'re ceived a neat and tasty uniform. Both presents were received New Years day. Columbus Times: We learn from a private letter to a friend in this city from secured about eight bales. It is probable j )nva[e setter to a menu in mis city ir that a number of bales were carried out. tbat j, e j ias purchased to sea before tbo discovery was made by property in Gainesville, as published, parties on tbo island, as nearly twelve * *’" ■ 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 in a neat salutatory, as editor aud propri- tor. We wish him success. Mr. W. A. Singleton has retired from tbe editorial management of the Baena Vista Argus,and is succeeded by his sons, W. M. Singleton as editor and J. W. Sin gleton as associate. They are both stir ring young men aud will doubtless furnish readable paper. The Atlanta library has fillen heir to a prize. The Constitution has the follow ing 5 .. 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. Sally B.— Atlanta Post-Appeal Howell Glenn returned from New York yesterday, but could gf- a no positive in formation as to Bernhardt. In plain, but not strictly class’ .al language, “Sue mouglit, and agin she mouglitn’t.” Abby wants $1,009, and Miltou Nobles Las the only night she can use, so between tbe 3 and N the boys are in hoc. ^Athens Banner: Monday, Mtyor M. Stanley received a dispatch announcing the deatli of liis brother, Rev. Dr. Augus tin Olin Stanley, which occurred at ids home iu Evansville, Indiana, on Sunday. Dr. Stauley was rector of the chnrch of Holy Innocents, in Evansville. He hap many friends in Georgia, where ho was born and reared and where lie spent a large part of his life. He was a brother- in-law of Rev. Dr. Lipscomb. He was nearly forty-eiglit years of age. No par ticulars of bis death have been received. Dawson Journal: Mrs. Margaret R. Bell, wife of Mr. J. A. Bell, died at the home of her son, Judge Homer S. Bell, in this city, on the 24th uit. She was sixty- one years of age, and for some time past bad been a constant though patient suf ferer from the ravages of that fell destroy er, consumption. Savannah Ifnos: John It. Jalinean, one of our oldest prominent colored citi- sena, died at 3 o’clock yesterday afternoon at the residence of his son-in-law, Wm. H. Wood house. He was about sixty years of age, and was much respected by all who knew him. He leaves four children. 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. The WestFoint robbery tnrnsoutto be another Whittaker case. E. K. Wil son, who was agent for-the Southern Ex press Company and operator in the Wes tern Union telegraph office, reported to have been assassinated and robbed a few days ago, did tbe assassinating and robbing himself. Mr. J. E. Wilkerson, a detective for tbe express company, took the case in hand aud forced Wilson at last to confess that ho had robbed him self. He was short of money, and took this method of making a raise. He Is now awaiting prosecution for robbery, The City National Bank of Griffin bas declared a semi-annual dividend of five per cent. Jim Sawtell, of tbe Appeal, says wood sold in Cuthbert on Saturday last at tbe rate of about $3 per cord. Of course these prices froze us out, and but for friends H. L. Kline, J. O. Boone and Clarence Clarke, we .would have been forced to bum wood typo as an economical measure or freeze, Cuthbert Appeal: A negro boy, aged fourteen years, named George Bush shot a white boy, about the same age, named Kelly, last Tuesday morning. Bush saya be did not sboot him because of any ill feeling, bat that the shooting was acci dental and tbe gun was loaded with small shot. Twenty-seven shot took effect in tbe boy’s left side. His left hand was shattered to pieces, and it is thought thst he will not be able to use thst hand effec tually auy more. Greenksbcbo Herald: Three tramps broke open a car on the Georgia railroad last Monday night at Buck Head. The conductor finding them inside, locked the door and carried them to Union Point, where they were turned over to the agent at that point. The car was loaded with flour. Cartersville Free Press: A good deal haa been said about tbe opinion of lion. A. H. Stephens as to tbe condition of Georgia. We think Mr. Stephens is right. In fact our own experience as a journalist convinces us tbat be is right. We know to an absolute certainty that it D more difficult to collect five dollars now lunatic asylum. T re investigation was held at tlie residence of uilge John Jack- son, where Mr. Mougiiou lias been con- fined ever since tlie day of the tragedy, 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 lum at Milledgeville. We understand that Sheriff Edwards will leave with him for Milledgeville this afternoon. Savannah News: The parties who were arrested for illegal voting on Wed nesday were brought before Magistrate Natiglitin yesterday mo:ning. Three were discharged after a reprimand for their illegal attempts to exercise the elec tive franchise, and two were held subject to the consideration of tlie grand jury. Athens Banner: The fine bam of Mr. Thomas Hodges was burned at 3 o’clock yesterday morning. There was burned in the barn two fine mules and a horse, also all ins corn, fodder, etc., one wagon and a buggy. The loss is estimat ed at $1,000; no~iimuance. The fire was the work of an incendiary. C’AiiTERsvit.i.E Free Press: On Mon day last week, quite a serious shooting scrape occurred on West Main street. A difficulty arose between Henry Morris, the barber, and John Pritchett, when Morris drew bis pistol and tired several times, and seriously wouuded Pritchett in the thigh. Morris was tried before Squire Smith, and bound over in the sum of $100, and failing to give bond, was remanded to Jail, where lie now is, a waiting trial at the coming court. Augusta News: One of the oldest citt zens of Augusta died yesterday, aud will be buried from tbe cemetery chapel this afternoon by tbe Masons. Mr. William G. Woodstock came here from England,, aud was for a long time a well-known watchmaker. He was respected by all who knew him and was a worthy man, and rose to tho degree of Past Master in tlie Masonic order. Rome Tribute: Yesterday morning about 9 o’Ciock the infant child, about six mouths old, of Mr. Abel Loyd, foreman of tbo Courier, fell into the fire and was very badly, if not fatally, burned. Tho mother left tlie child iu the crib aslpep and went into tiie kitchen to attend to some household duties when tiie little one crawled out of tlie cnb and into tlie fire, and was iu the fire some minutes before the mother discovered it. LaGrange Reporter: It is customary for ail well regulated weekly newspapers to chronicle each birth day. To-day the Reporter announces its thirty-seventh, and wc feel it incumbent upon us to make a little inaugural address, so to speak. Tbe editor of this paper is a young man, aud has had little experience in the newspaper business. It lias been our aim since tak ing charge of tho Reporter, to mako it as interesting as possible, and the congratu lations of friends testify that our efforts ba.-o not proved entirely futile. Columbus Times: Wednesday night tho residence of Mr. Wm. Amos, who lives about ten miles from tbe city, was entirely consumed by fire. The family had retired to their beds, end when the flames were discovered the dining and stove rooms were in full blast and nothing in 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* ed tbe flames, in all probability Mr. Amos and his wife would have burned in their beds. Tbe Election. j The managers of tlie various country | 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. Ross, 721. Tax Collector—H. J. Peter, 1,506; D. H. Adams, 215. 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, 127. Commissioners—Geo. S. Obear, 1,373; John Ingalls, 1,475; John Giles, 1,427; R. C. Wilder, 1,240; W. P. Goodail, 1,001; J. W. Stubbs, 1,112; Fletcher, 8S7. HOWARD DISTRICT. Ordinary—McManus, 23; Ward, 168; Strohecker, 7. Clerk of Court—A. B. Ross, 193. Sheriff—G. S. Wescott, 23; E. A. Ross, 170. Tax Collector—H. J. Peter, 187; D. H Adams, 9. Coroner—Huffman, 09; Girardie, 94 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. It is only justice to say that Senator Brown may mean precisely ' the thing he expresses.

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 structive aud entertaining, as that of 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 schools, prayer meetings, and other insti tutions of tho church.' He is still in the prime of life and promises many more S ears of usefulnesito the church. Qis fe is worthy to b» imitated by our youug uiei:.—llnickinstille Dispatch. A Card of Thanks.

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.

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.

TUTT'S 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 rie Farmer.
