The Darien Gazette justly says: If our Congressman would exert themselves a little we have no doubt but that they would racked in getting an appropriation for Danen. W e need an appropriation jest as bad as Brunswick and Sav. nnnh, and we see no good reason why we should not gel it. A little extra work by our Congress men will secure it for our port. _ Alb ant News and Advertiser: Mr. Ste phens’interview with the Atlanta Constitu tions Washington correspondent may be summed up in a few words: “No public man has the right to decline to ron for governor unlees he is in a very precarious yon”°* health * 1 am prelty well, thank The Thomasville Time* says: We take great p.easnro in announcing to our read ers that u great tre\t is in store for them at the next commencement of the South Georgia College.

These negro office-holdrrs have sealed the doom of independence in tbe mountains. Columbus Enquirer: The Central Line of boats wiH probably receive the contract to carry the mails between Apalachicola and Chattahoochee three rimes a week. They will receive for thisservioe $6,003 per year, and be allowed to make one short trip from Apalachicola to Chattahoochee to make up the three trips, instead of being forced to come to Columbus three times a week. Banner-Watchman: This independent papers of the ninth district are actually trying to impress upon their readers that the Tkleokafh and Messesoeb and Ban ner- Watchman accuse Mr. Speer of mur dering Walter Rountree, and they are de fending him on tbe ground that a pistol shot could not reach from Washington to A then*. This shows a very high order of intelligence for the average independent voters-or rather that these joAnals look upon j them as a set of tho billet mud- heads extant. » - w Menroe Advertiser: A gentleman from the county, who came to town the oilier arranged as to show a white light until the vessel passes the oyster beds buoy, when it will nnoover a red light (on same struc ture j to indicate when to bring the light at Beaoon No. 1 in range.

Columbus Enquirer: Yesterday evening about C o’clock the dead body of Tom Kid- ley, colored, was brought to the city in a work at the bend bad finished eating their dinrar, Tom complained of feeling a little unweil and in a few minutes he fell dead. It is supposed that his death was caused by heart disease. He was a very robust man and appeared to be in excellent health. His body was carried to his home on lower Broad street. No coroner’s inquest has been held. Savannah News: One of the handsomest little yachts that has ever visited our day, reported a novel plowing arrange ment which he saw as he passed along thM road- A negro man was opening a furrow with ;a mule] hitched to the plow. Be hind him came a girl dropping the seed. The man had a kind of man-harness on, and i,e was pulling another plow, which was raided by a woman to cover tbe seed. Not paving but one mule, he put that ont on double duty, bv making it help to pull hiw,-whilo he pulle.l the second plow. This was inot a bad idea from an economic point of view, though it must have put the sturdy plowman’s strength to a severe test Ui.ion and Recorder: A friend told us laatjwaak that while walking in his front yard, he found his cat sitring quietly and demurely in the company of two part* ;es.

R. DeMartin’s stables, in this city, a young man by th*) name of Charley Ross, who, strange to spy, was kidnapped when a mers infant and carried away. He was so yonng at the rime that he has' no :ecol!ec- tioa of his parents or his home. At an early age he was placed on a sailing vessel by his abductors, and subsequently was shipped as a sailor before the mast. For many years he followed the sea, and has visited Brazil and various ports in South America, Havana and Gieat Britain. He arrived at Brunswick on the brig O.H.

He is abont twenty-three years old, fire lcet eight inches high, of light complexion, brown hair and bine eyes and weighs ISO i>ounJ-*. 1 he Charley Boas who wus stolen from Germantown in le74 would only be twelve years of age if he is now living. Columbus Enquirer: Lest year, on thel iir.t day of May, it rained quite iiard, and while it was ra nin* an old negro woman on Mrs. Comer's place said to her that rain-water caught during the first week in May would keen cool, pure and sweet for over a year. To gratify the old woman and to test the thing, Mrs. Comer caught about two gallons of the rain then falling and put it in a jug, placing it in a closet. From time to rime daring the year she ex amined and tasted the water, finding it cold and sweet. On yesterday she sent to this office a bottle containing some of the water, and on examining it wo found that it was cold and pnte as spring water, show ing no indication of having spoiled and become sweet again. In long voyages the water carried by ships will spoil and be-l come sweet again. The water of >-ome cf tlie rivers, sailors say, has been known to S il three times and become good again. | point is, if the rain-water that falls the lirtt wei k in May will keep cold, those who own cisterua shonld secure enough to last through the summery ■ i Wiregratt' Watchman: Mr! Jamas I J. Mobley, of Montgomery connty, has three children. A few weeks ago, the oldest, Mary, was attacked with diphtheria m the throat. It was controlled by Dr. Mobley without much trouble. Soon after, both the others were taken, one in the hand and the other in the foot. Their suffering was intense. Inflammation ran high and the cases looked dangerous. The doctor pronounced it diphtheria. The •welling finally broke amt run, yet con tinued to spread and threaten. Tho doctor •airitha danger waa in its terminating in the throat, against 'which ha studi ously guarded. L.ttlo Dasie’s hand anA inn finally began to improve. Fond hopes- of her recovery now sprang np; but alas! like most of onr earthly bopcs, to be .nipped in the bnd. The dread disease now turned to the throat and in a few days hashed the little *nfferer into tbe sleep of death. The doc tor thought best not to try to arrest tho disease in the other one’s foot, for fear of the same termination. So, the disease prevailed in the leg and foot for weeks and never reached tho throat. Finally, Mary, the one first nttacked in tbe throat, is now attacked in the hand. I did cot know that this fearful disease possessed any such characteristics, and I speak of it through tbe press for the benefit of others who, like me, did not know. S. Columbus Timet: Yesterday morning at 11 o’clock Mrs. Lizzie Curtis Jordan, wife of Mr. G. Gnnby Jordan and daughter of Mr. N. N. Curtis, breathsd her taut, after an Bluest of bnt a few days. We have sel dom been called neon to chronicle a sadder death than that of ’his esteemed lady. She was born on August 2d. 1859, in Durham,. Conn., and was accordingly but twenty- three years of age when called away. Mrs. Jordan was reared in onr city and was be loved by a large circle of devoted friends. Gifted in person and mind and possessed of all of those sweet, attractive graces which make woman’s character lovely, slie moved in the circles of society the center of a host of admirers.

The steamer hay been fitted np for the occasion, and is a rirfectlv sea worthy vessel. . The Augusta Chronicle has this to say of a worthy man: We had a visit yesterday from onr worthy friend, Hon. A. Lawton Miller, of Houston, who is on a visit to h:s father, Jonathan Miller, Esq., one of onr most estimable citizens. Lawton Mil ler ha i been, for several terms, one of tho most prominent and influential members of the Legislature. He is a yonng gentle man of taieut and great force of charac ter a good lawyer and a capital legislator— conscientious, earnest and efficient in the discharge of his duties—and possesses the full confidence of his people. As a legif- lator, he exercises as much inflnenoe as any member of the He\;>e. If he has any fault at all. it is on the side of the most rigid economy in preventing the expendi ture of ibe public money. Wo are glad to welco ne Mr. Miller to bis old home, and trust that this healthy climate will restore him to health.

The minutes of the last convention, held in Atlanta, were read and approved. Mr. Nathan K. Plat* ■hek, of Savannah, chairman of the com mittee on legislation, here aroM and ad dressed the meeting at length in regard to what had been aoexmplished at the last session of the Legislature. He stated tbe law passed was, without doubt, the strong est in the United States, making cruelty to animals a misdemeanor, punishable under section 4360 of the code of Oeorgia. lie furtr.er stated the reception he had receiv ed at the hands of the Representatives and Senators was hearty, and that with few ex ceptions they all rendered assistance. He paid a high compliment to Representative Price, of Oconee. The reports of branch societies ware read and ordered to be spread upon the MMIWL 111 ‘ . v l *■ •. .

To-day her lifeless form will lie before the same altar and the stme friends will gather to pay the last tribnte to her pare and beantilul life. Her life was yielded for that of tbe little son. now bnt a few days old, who is all that is left to tho bereaved husband. To him and to her sorrowing family onr communi ty extends its most sincere sympathies. The notice of the funeral will be fonnd elsewhere. Savannah News: We are pleased to learn that there is now an encouraging proba bility of tho appropriation of SCO.OfiO for ligbtin i the Savannah river being utilized and not being allowed to revert tx tho Treasury for la :k of iction. The pros- pecls of the proposed light-houses being erected ia greatly improved, and it is hoped that circumstances will enable the work to bo commenced shortly. The plana of ihe light-houses provide for an iron frame, with keeper’s house below, the lan tern to be hoisted to the top by machinery. The rear range light will be eighty feet to the place where the lantern rests and the front light forty feet. These will be handsome in appearance and sub stantial in structure. The sites for the now lights on Danfuskie Island—“Bloody Point”—have been arranged for and the titles sent to Washington for reoord and preservation. At Long’Island the requisite land for the new light houses has been ceded to the United States by the State of Georgia, and the sites for the two lights on Jones’ Island, as well as that of Venus’ Point, belonging to the enate of Stevenson, are now be- ing negotiated for, tho matter of the valuation being referred to Colonel Wm. Rogers, superintendent of the Ceutr.il railroad, for his decision. It is als J arranged that the value of the site for the lighthouse opposite the north end of Elba Island, owned by the estate of Barn well, shall be determined by the decision in regard to tho land owned by the astste of Stevenson. The site for two iigh"s or. Deptford plantation, property of Wm. P. Carmichael, Esq , have been arranged for. The only question open now is that about the sites for the two lights on the eask-rn end of Elba Island, ani to avoid further delay it is proposed to place them on pilings in the river at low water mark. A strong eflort is being made to have the work commenced at onra, so trat bjforo the opening* of another most noiselessly, and she moves so grsce- fnlly throngh the water that one hardly realizes that she is iu morion, and a speed of ten miles per hour is attained with the greatest ea:e. She will bo left here till next winter, when her owner and party will psy another visit to Florida, having been delighted with thrir trip and the abundanoe of fish and game found there. McDuffie Journal: A few months ago ir friend, Mr. Ben Waller, of this county, hsd a family of chickens numbering fifty- five, embracing theusnal proportions of male, female and neuter genders. In less than two months an epidemic of cholera redmed the flock to five, all of which were hem. The oldest of these, a speckled matron of fifteen seasons, as soon as she realized the gravity of tbe situation, dis carded her sex and took charge of the four widowed pullets. Her spurs, rombaud wattles grew out in a single night, and her voioe changed to the regulation tone. She now bosses the barnyard with alt the arro gance of a genuine bantam, crows lustily, and rigidly observes all the fashionable duties of a masculine hen. » Swaxnsbobo Herald : A horrible acci dent oocurred at Rountree’s mill, near Summertown, on Thursday lest, in which a little negro boy had his leg terribly muti lated. He was riding on the track which rnnwonthetrem road leading from tbe mill, when he fell off, and the track tan over his leg with tho result above stated. Dr. Bell, of this place, was sent for, and in company with Dr. Geo. L. Smith, repaired to the bed-ido of the maimed negro. After an examination, it was decided that am putation was necessary. Drt. Bell, Smith and Whitehead performed the delicate operation very successfully, and at last ac counts the patient was doing as welt as could be expected, with a fair prospect for recovery. The leg was amputated lust below the knee. Of the small-pox, the Post-Appeal, of Atlanta, says: “No new cases of small pox have developed in the city to-day. Sever >1 rnmors have been investigated, and proved to be unfourn'iL-d. Mr. Dynl ami his wifi-, who live on Dccatnr street, near the old Willingham building, hivo been reported several rimes to have small-pox, bat their cases have been pronounced authoritative ly riot to be small-pox.” Hawki>sville seems to be in earnest about her artesian well. Hawkinsviltk News: On Saturday last a difficulty occurred between Jack Collins aud Ephraim Bozeman, two colored men, in the lower part of this county. It seems that by previous m.derstanding, neither one of these parties was ever again to visit the house of tho other, but on the day above mentioned Jack violated the com pact, and a quarrel immediately ensued. Daring the wrangle Jack drew out hu little pistol, when Ephraim wentfora shot- gnu and got the drop on Jack. Jack’s wounds are not supposed to be mortal. Thomasville is to have an artesian well The authorities are taking immediate steps to boro one. . , We learn that Mr. Geo. L Seney has re quested a nicho in the new “Seney-Stov&ll Chapel” of tho Lucy Cobb Institute, Athens, the corner-stone of which is to be laid on the 12th inst, to be preserved for a handsome organ, which ho has kindly do nated to Miss Rutherford for the Institute. Columbus is to have a paper-box factory. AT REST. Death and Funeral ol Sra. Ann La mar. At the residence of her son-in-law, Mr. N. C. Monroe, in Vineville, on Tnesday night, Mrs. Mary Ann Lamar, widowof the late Jndge Henry G. Lamar, breathed her last. Mrs. Lamar was in the seventy-fifth year of her age. Shs had an unimpaired mem ory and remembered distinctly seeing the camp-fires of the Indians on the other side of the river.

At 3 o’clock yesterday afternoon the Jun ior class, consisting of twenty members, according to announcement assembled in the Ciceronian hall to compete for places at the coming commencement. Every Junior’s face was indicative of his buoyant hope (for each thought he would get a place). The contest was entered into with nil ihe energy and eloquence they possessed, and some almost excelled them selves in both. The speaking continued for about seventy-five minutes, after wkich the “nceis” were dismissed from the “field” until the faculty could decide the successful competitors. The decision was soon made, and was then read by the presi dent ns follow, alphabetically: XV. B Birch, A. T. O., Maoon, Ga.: J. C. Bro\*n, K. A., Newn«n, Ga.; M. H. Bunn, 8. A. E , CeUartown, Ga.; 0. 0. Cox, K. A., ljiGrange, Ga.: B. G. Gregg, P. D. T., Marion, 8. C.; H. A. Hall. K. A., Newnvr, Ga.: Edgar E. Hinton, P. D. T., Maoon, Ga.; H. U. Uooten, K.

Q., Senoia, Ga. j gust; lug: Macon, Ga., May 3.—You will have seen by the reports of the secretary and of the treasurer the material and financial con- dition of the society, and have learned something of its workings for the past year. You will have seen that its finances are in a. fairly satisfactory condition, in spite of large extraordinary expenses, iu- emdieg those of o<’r delegate* to-.the American Humane Association in Boston last summer, and those incurred in having amended and perfected by tbe State Legis- latnre the laws under whioh we act. The reporter the secretary indicates a great lack of activity on the part of the society—a scarcity of warnings, of prosecu tions aod of oonviutions. Tijis either argues dereliction of duty on the part of the so ciety’s officers and agents, or else it indi cates a state of things inimical to or un favorable tor their eucce-*ful action. You will each, of coarse, decide this question scoording to your individual judgment; but I feelitmy duty in behalf of the exeou tive committee to claim that this non- aotion lies rot in any-lack of energy on their part in providing* against such cases as are presented to their notice', but in the greater humanity and improved publio sentiment throughout the State, wbioh have obviated the frequent necessity for such action. The aims of this society and the powers conferred upon it by law, *re now pretty generally understood, and this know edge bar, unaided, in many instances influenced the conduct of tho illy dispoeed. I may mention the holding of the cniuken mein, last winter, in Hamburg, S. 8., in stead ol on the Augusta fair grounds, be cause, 03 one of tbe cock-fighting frater nity expressed it, “they were afraid tbe society wonld bounce them;” and “ bounce them” is oertainly what it would have doze. But, in truth, punishment aurl regres sion are among the least good works done bp this society. The mere fact of its ex istence is a standing protest agaicst the bnrbarities and cruelties of former times. That a number of men and women are banded together io teach mankind ite duty to its fellow-creatures, and to demand for those creatures their natural rights, iv bnt another instanoe that the world a advance ment is not backward and that we are an other step nearer the millenium. The great obstacle to our cause, as it is to all progress, is ignorance. To overooihe this evil is everywhere recognized as the most important as well as the most formi dable problem to be solved by our civiliza tion. In this connection some idea may be formed of the magnitude of the task undertaken by this society. For whereas States and communities set themselves to teach the uneducated, it is our part to edu cate also the educated. It is our duty not only to repress the wilful and to teach thff unlearned, bnt to restrain the careless and remind the thoughtle-s. Education then is the great Archimedean lever by which wc would move tte world, and the laws under which we work recog nize the fact and proclaim tbe alliance by devoting half the proceeds ol fines impos ed for violations ot those laws tothe. uuL- lic school fun-1. lathi-" matter of educa tion, ft is the woman’e branch of our socie ty in Augusta that takes tho lead, by offer ing through the various schools prizes for the best written essays on the subject of kindness to animals. This is an import ant work, and I commend its adoption by the different branchse. At the last annual meeting of your soci ety, which was held in Atlanta, it was re solved, on motion cf Dr. H. V. M Miller, that the judges of the various Superior Courts be requested to'charge thrir re- spec’ive grand j'arits on the Laws relatin to cruelly to animals. In accordance wit that motion, memorials have been tent to the twenty judicial districts of the State. One such charge has been made, and in ah- i'tin r instance the judeo has promised to comply with our request. - — Last summer your society sent Mr. N. K.

He was a cad-browed man—in fact, a bilious-looking man, with a sad voioe, and, sometime*, he displayed a certain sharp- of “temper,” so people said, but there was ao such thing as bad temper about good old Mr. Narrxwpate. When ever be happened to be out of sorts it was his liver—nothing else. He was amiable euoogh to like tbe good things of this nanghty world, especially, when he didn’t h«ve4o pay for them—end to be invited oat to dinner or to sapper was, to Mr- Narrowpate, ai rich an enjoyment as a fall clover field woald be to a hungry male. No vision of fatare dyspeptic horrors wrought him ap to the ability of a nega tive when asked to eat. He waa a zealous citizen, too, .waa this sad faced man, and be held a petty office which gave him the right—or he thought it did, which is all the same—to dabble in everything pertaining to the city. He was a moat economical man, too, was Na> row- pate, and he believed in keeping the treas ury locked, barred end bolted whenever there was any improvement" hinted at. It is true that some of the oity men looked upon Mr, Narrcwgate with disfavor, but They mast have been envious of his vast capabilities. He was somewhat old-fashioned in his ideas, too, bnt no one oould blame him, for he was born a long time ago, and, of coarse, hi) ideas were ancient, in- keeping with himself. Some times the bad boys aronnd town playfully yelled oat “old fossil,” when he parsed certain corners, bnt every body knows that bad boys are not to be explained away, so to speak, and thus Mr. Narrowp'ate bad to stand up and take his share of their treatment like the rest of suffering humanity. t - And it wring* ray lie*:! to relate llow old Mr. Narrowpate Would hunt him a brick, While the boys dodged quick, And yelled at a scaudalous rate. 'CHAITJta IL Mr. Brondgrin was the dexr friend of Mr. Nnrrowpute. Everybody wondered bow two such opposite characters oould as similate; bnt as extremes meet, so they met, and swore etem al friendship. When ever Narrowpate scowled, Broadgrtn smiled; whenever Narrospato epposed anything, Brondgrin favored it; and when ever Broadgrin laughed outright at any thing, Narrowpate groaned. But, after all, lUIlDEtt IX KIT I. AS U. A Colored a*n Receive* Bnekihet Early Sunday morning Mr. John Brad ley, an old and rtf-pected farmer of Rut land district, came into the city accompa nied by his friend, Dick Minchew, and re ported to 8o! icito r-Geuernl Hardeman that he had killed a negro on his premises. After leaving Oapt. Hardeman's, he drovo to the resideaoo of Officer James P. Chap man, the recently appointed coroner, and asked him to go out and hold an inquest. Mr. Chapman had not been sworn in and of oonrse could not officiate. Mr. Bradley and his friend then weut back in the direction of Rutland. ■ In company with Deputy Sheriff Walter Clarke, our reporter rode out to the eceuo of the difficulty. Mr. Bradley’s plaoe is thirteen miles from th6 city, about a mile to the left ol the Houston road, aud within a short distance of Eoheoonneo creek, which is the dividing line between Houston and Bibb oounties. The plantation is also a few hundred yards from Red Bluff, on the Oomulgee river. A number of peoplo, mostly colored men and women, were gathered in the yard, quietly discussing the murder. There were not the slightest manifestations of any revengeful feelings among them, though the murdered man seemed to have been a favorite with them. Within a short distance of the Bradley house, in a small log house, the body cf John Jackson, oold in death, lay on the floor. He was an in telligent looking negro, of medium size, and was about twenty-one years old. From the witnesses to tbe uoene, and from the evidenoo adduced at the inquest held by ’Squire George Boud, we gather the following particulars: Jackson was employed by Bradley on bis farm. A few days ago Jaokeou wauteda settlement and a few words passed between them. After this dispute one of tbe other hands told Bradley of something Jackson had said. This caused another dispute. On Saturday last Mr. Bradley came to Maoon and purchased some supplies. He returned to his t ome about dusk, and os the wagon rolled np alongside of his piazza and Jackson began to help another hand unload. While ao engaged he said to the hands in the yard that whoever told that tale to Mr. Bradley “told n d—n lie.” About this time Bradley came out cf his house and stood on the porch. Ho asked JacVson if he had not forbidden him THE ICE SI PPET. ever Broadgrin laughed outright at any tbiug, Narrowpate groaned. But, after all, — they were about as neirly matched os the premises. Jackson said “Yes, bnt *-*--*- ' «•- *- •• that's all over with now,” referring proba bly to the previous disputes. Repeating his demand for Jackson to leave, Bradley went into the house and loaded his gnu with buckshot. Going on the piazza again he asked Jackson if ho wzs going (o leave, most as closely allied as the famed twins of Siam. Only on one subject were they “ananimons,” and that was the subject of eating; bnt this need efeite no surprise, as it is .a kind of unanimous thing every- idldthes) two friends “hide” in the homes of their friends. And many a bottle of wine grew beantifully less under their joint manipula tions, Hnd many a nightlafter a sober, seri ous meeting of “the lodge” lid they pilot each other along when the roads got tan gled np and the stars got to cavorting around liko mad, and wonld not stand still er shave 'er life.” Like two amiable lambs they wonld go arm in arm, and it is said Their serpentine course they'd pursue, With no definite end in view,. And they’d “hiccup” and swear, Would this jolly old pair. Till tho atmosphere 'round ’em turned blue. ' ce&pteb m. One night onr IrienclB went to “a big sap per” just outside of the city’s limits, and as it was not far they walked. Well, they met some jolly old fellows and hed a gor geous time. The wine (lowed freely, end as Mri Narrowpate got warmed he got to talking about city matters, and he was especially bitter on a mild-eyed, bald- headed man who wanted all kinds of im provements, bridges, etc. Broadgrin tried to check his friend’s bitterness, but the old man lloLg his liver pad to tho winds, and “rushed upon his fate.” He gavo the suburbans to understand that unless they paid for it they couldn't have a siuglo plank, let alone a bridge. This was epirit, this was eloquence; and the sqnelchod su burb,ms withered in their tracks nnder the withering saroasm and blighting irony of the impassioned Nar- rowpate. China and crystal shook and shivered as his sledge-hammer band tho country who. when struck the table. His eyes gleamed with rence, said he must a consuming fire, and his face took on n cause, as he was not the blood, coursed throngh his veins. At length, throngh the course of nature— .and liko an old clock, he “ran down” and -stopped, for bile, as well as blood, shows some abatement after strife. And tho poor man, he thought he had mashed, Sat smiling there quite unabashed, r For they knew he would “spUe” From redundance of bile, Unless with “tho fellers” he clashed. Chapter iv. At a late hour tbe fine old gentleman,well lined with good cheer, and accompanied by his friend, Broadgrin, started back to town by a different and a shorter way than, that by which they had gone ont. Tbe night wa« a deceitful one. The moon, be ing a born A rt, coquetted sadly with the clouds, and often strayed so far away with them that the o-rth'was left in deep mourning. Our friends plodded elong, sometimes stumbling over a tree root which, under mistake, hod rushed to th f-urbice of tbe earth. Often OUT friend would go snddsnly down a foot or two when they intended to porsne the even tenor of their way. At last they heard tbe voioe of rushing waters, and stopped to listen. “Where are wo ?” inquired Narrowpate. Now tbe moon heard the question, and off sha went with the clouds to mystify tho pe destrians. “Where are wo?” repeated Narrowpate. “ThisistheVinevill"branch, and thoro is tho bridge, so wo may cross here;” and the two, bridgo, and anti bridge, walked ont upon the structure. Did Broadgrin know that only one slim piece of something held the few planks in their places, that be kept the right side and gave Narrowpate the left? Is friendship, thenbubananfo? Suddenly there wa) tv fearful wranh and then, kersph'sh! and Narrowpate had made a hole in tho water. Broadgrin held on the scantling and crawl ed to a perch of safety and offered his hand to his friend. But something wns wrong with Narrowpate. He had something heavy about him. It might have boon that his spleen wns enlarged, and his liver overcharged, or it might have been the inoantions flinging away of his liver pad, or perhaps his old enemy, dys pepsia, was at work rolling np a heavy charge against him, but Broadgrin could not badge hiute No help was at hand. The darkies wh > live near by hadn’t come home from meeting, nnd the white folk) were all asleep. Narrowpate floundered and choked in his vain attempts to help himself, and Broadgrin tugged at him in vain. Fainter and fainter grew Narrow- nate, deeper and doeper ho sank in the mud, and he felt the water slowly closing over him. With a last effort—feeling that tho end was at hand, ho gnsped out: “Brcadgrin, old boy, good-bye.” Tell ’om I died true to mv principle) No bridge—l-o b-r-i-d-g-o.” A gargling sound, and—Broadgrin was left atom'. Tho moon, feeling somewhat ashamed ot herself at the turn affairs had taken, came oat of the clouds to look on. Sho Hashed a ray across Urotldgrin’s face. Ho was still smiling ns ho crept softly np the bank and started to town. And the bullfrogs croak loud o’er the place, Where lust they ■« Nariovvnatc's face; Ami ‘ m«inks” tvalk at night.

A) soon as shot, Jack on walked towards the kitchen when Bradiy fired again. Jaokson dropped at the second fire and died in about twenty minutes. The dead man lay on the rpot where he fell for an hour, and was then taken to the little log house where the colored people kept an all night vigil. The next morning, Sunday, Mr. Bradley went over to the Mincbewe, living abont a mile from his farm, and with Dick Min chew, came into town, as stated. On Sunday afternoon Mr. George Bond, a justice of tho peace in Rutland, etnpan- nelled a jury and rite inquest was held. On examining tbe dead man’s pockets a large opened knife was fonnd. The wit nesses were carefully eximintd and the verdict rendered that “the deceased came to his death from gunshot wounds at tho hand) ot John Brad ey.” Mr. Bradley ia abont fifty-five years old. He rent) the old Minchew place and runs a six-mnle farm. He was raised in Bibb coanty, bat was at one time a citizen of Houston. He has no children, and no white perron lived on his premise* except his wife, who did not see tho difficulty. Ob tJnaday be want to tbe house of some friend and kept his whereabouts unknown. He will probably give himself np to day. The negro was almost twenty-one years old, and leaves a wife and child. He had the repntation of being a good hand, bnt very impudent The knife found by the jnry in bis pockets shows that he antici pated a difficulty and wns prepared for it.

Our reporter visited the ice factory yes terday to ascertain how soon the manufac ture of ice would begin, and whether the machines would be able to keep up tbe supply. Many ohangee have taken place at the works, of which the public nave no knowl edge. Tbe ole machine wbioh made the ice when tho factory was located at the foot of Seoonu street has been discarded, and two magcificeut machines from the Boyle Ice Machine Company, of Chicago, have been placed in position. These machines will make ten tons of ice each per day, and the nuiform capacity of twenty tons per day will be kept up daring the entire summer. A large Had oxnam odious building ha been erected adjoining tbe water works to accommodate these new machines and tbe ice-tanks. The new process is some what different from the old way of manu- ficturing ice. Tho boxes in which the water i* frozen ore placed in large iron tanks filled with sal: water, and through this water runs over ten thousand feet of piping in coils. The water of which the ice is made ia pnmpod from Tuft’s springs, a few steps distant., and is distilled, making the ioe a* clear and as pure as any lake ioo. It requires forty-eight hours to make a slab of Ice, but the slabs ars taken out of the tins eve>y seven minutes, and this schedule is kept up continually. The slabs weigh two hundred ponnds. The company is now building an ioe house iu wbioh to store the ioo, and it will hold threo hundred and twenty-five tons. The oompany also lias a down-town ice house which will always be bountifully supplied. By the end of this week the ma chines will be in working order, and by Friday or Saturday of next week tbe en gines will set in for continuous use, ran- ning night and day, Should one muohine possibly get out of order, the other goes on as if nothing had happened. The putting up and getting ready of the machines is under the direction of Mr. Ernest Gcrhardt who represents the Boyle Ice Machine Oo., of Onioago. ’His ma chines are in use all 07er the United States, and are well patronized by breweries. One is now, and has been for some time in coa- stact operation at Ioerille. near Atlanta. It is said to bo the best machine for the pur pose manufactured. The ice factory as well as fha water works are in charge of Mr. W. W. Weston, who is iu every way oompetent to manage the beantiful and complicated machinery. He told onr reporter yesterday that there need not be the slightest misapprehension of any delay or failure on the part of tbe Macon ioe factory to supply the eily and country with ioe. When the machines are ready to start there will be no end of iee. Mr. Weston has built a neat cottage for his family near the works, so that he can always be on band. We are satisfied that in hi) hands the works will be ran success fully, and Macon may feel assured that she will always have a fall supply of ice and water. The ice will be delivered to the hotels, drag stores, saloons and families by Mr. Joj Ruhl, one of the most enterprising and energetic Macon yonng men, who will raQ| I his cart on the old Knickerbocker ioe cart principle. He will supply all the drag stores, saloons eto , early each morning, and then turn his attention to families and keep all regularly supplied. His cart will make early and regular rounds,so that fam ilies can nave a certain amount delivered early each mornnig, and thus save sending to the ice houses. Mr. Ruhl will com mence the delivery as soon as tho factory commences the manufacture of the ioe. The crop of natural ice ia largo, and Fe lix Corput <b Oo. and J. B. Williams report that they hate made arrangements that will enablo them to keop an pbnndance on hand, and to supply Macon and the adja cent towns. They will continue to sell at one cent per pound. In view ot the fact that this summer promises to be one of unusual warmth, it is gratifying to know that onr supply of ice will be nmpie. THE MARKET AGAIN. AceamtUatlng Indorsement* from tbe People.

Any right thinking man knows that when all tho hatchers are nnder ono roof, all.on the "3-lie footing, that such a grouping of them wonld beget competition and the publio wonld be benefited. Thoso who havo had their cow3 to go astray and never found them unless *oma inquisitive somebody ran up on the hide in some shop should certainly appreciate n plan to stop such unlawful traffio in stolen cattle. And ladies, on whom in most all cases is devolved the duty of purchasing the meat and vegetables for tho table, and who have often walked block after block in search of something worth putting into their baskets, appreciate a way to group meat and vege tables and allow them an opportunity of making a selection of everything in thoso lines in the city with- ont wa'lking themselves into a perspi ration. The ladies sboald also favor it, because they can, with n market, get up early and attend the market to purchase family snpplios, and thus enjoy exercise at tho proper hour of tho day. The few who object give os one of their reasons for opposition that tho city is unable at this liino to baild one. This is mere bosh. Tho city’s finances were never healthier, and the market is a source of much revenue to the city, the money ex pended in its erection paying a handsomer dividend than any investment she oould make. One merchant objected because he thought it wonld take away the trade of all retail grocers. This is another fallacy. Tho grocer is at just as much liberty ns a butcher to convert his stall into a email grocery house and thus stand a good chance of petting customers that might never enter his store if he kept open a hun dred years. Mr. George O. Brown, of Brown’s Hotel, spends every year $15,000 for moat and vegetables. His steward has to walk hii over Macon daily and hunt up his supplies. There are retail grocery stores in Macon which he has probably never entered. I’ut up tho market end then he is compelled to buy everything, and every greengrooer or butcher has a chance to see him and got some of that fifteen thonsrnd dollars. A great many who favo- the market, and who advocate its establishment, may not agree on it* location. The city oertainly has some fino locations for a market house, but none seem to be thought so fiivor-.ble as Poplrr street, tfbtween Fit-d aud Second. This places it almost centrally, and yet affords ample room.
