Down at Resaca, on the Western and At lantic railroad, a big religious revival lias been going on. LaBt week, when the meet ing was in the zenith of its glory, when sin ners were shouting and preachers were praying, a dispute arose among the clerical gentlemen, which finally grew so warm in its character that the meeting was abruptly brought to a close, and it seemed ns though the French way of settling a difficulty would be resorted to. Two of the reverend breth ren were especially bitter against one an other, and notices, severely personal, were promiscuously pasted on telegraph poles; but the matter, we learn, has been amica bly adjusted, though the effect upon the meeting has been quite disastrous.—Dalton Citizen.

Captarc of tile Belled Buzzard About two years ago the Tkleobjuui re ported the belling of a buzzard with a sheep bell, by one of the Roberts brothers, in Jones connty. Since that time the bird has wandered all over the State, and at one time hovered over the market in Charles ton. Near Jug Tavern, in Walton county, recently, it was captured, os we find ty the following in the Walton News: “Delay noticed n number of buzzards aroand where he had killed a beef and among them was one wearing a bell. It w-s wonnded and finally captured alive by him, and the hell, which he described as a small sheep bell at tached to its neck by means of a white eloth collar, four-ply and machine stitched, taken off. Whenever the hell was rung by those inspecting it, a buzzard would come near and light on a shelter close by, os if it re cognized the sonnd and sought its compan ion.” A Mammoth Tear of Corn, r. C.

Talbottos, October 22.—Tuesday was a foul day for a fair. The rain, which com menced falling early, continued all day without intermission. This dampened the ardor of exhibitors, yet in spite of rain sev eral of the wideawake and progressive farm ers brought in their displays, and at night the management were more encouraged and the day closed with prospects of a consid erable show on the morrow, provided the weather should permit. To-day dawned bright end beautiful, and exhibiters are bringing in their exhibits, and from the prospects now, croakers will have to atop their croaking. The display so far of form products is good; that of cattle, sheep and bogs not os good as it should be. I see sevoral fine colts on exhi bition. Yesterday having dawned beautiful nnd bright, many more exhibita were added to the different departments and by noon the exhibition began to look like there was life in the old land. There was additions made to all the departments. Mr. Roderick Leanord exhibits a fine Jersey bull and several graded yearlings. Mr. Dixon Jersey hull. Dr. Wells exhibits a herd of Talbot county cattle which are in fine order and show that a no fence county can have fat cattle. Mr. Baldwin and Sir. Dennis ex hibit each a pen of fat hogs which does credit to themselves. Several mares and colts are on exhibition by Mr. Baldwin nnd Jnck Stevenson. Two stallions, and two jacks on exhibition and a beautiful four year old colt, the property of L. A. Baldwin which attracts attention. Miss Emma Conch and Sirs. I. B. Stin son have some fine needlework on exhibi tion. In the children’!; department we find some beantiful socks, darned tidies and crazy qnilts, made by girla under ten years old—namely, Sliss Ross and Sliss Ilinckly. A good number of quilts are on exhibi tion, consisting of crazy,worsted, calico and silk, and a crazy qnilt made by Sirs. Atho, attracts attention. Knit quilt pillow-shams and tidy, by Miss Slattie’ Slillctt, of Bost- wick, attracts attention. Coverlids, shams, home made carpet and rag carpet, by Sirs. Mabrev. In the horticultural department wo find figs, apples, peaches, pears, beets, Slon- golils turnips, celery and both sweet and Irish potatoes. In the home-made department, Sliss Annie Dennis mokes a handsome display of jellies, preserves, pickles, canned, evnpo- rnted and candied fruits; also of breads and butters. Sirs. Robert Baldwin also has a fine dls- power to regulate commerce between the States; that it was also unconstitutional be cause it operates in effect to impose duties upon imports, and because it interferes with the privileges of the citizens of other States secured under the clause of the con stitution whicli guarantees tho citizens of each State all the privileges and immunities of citizens of other States. This decision has an indirect bearing up on the rights of traveling salesmen, though nrising under a discriminative law to dis courage the liquor traffic. All the points made by the Supreme Court against the law in Michigan would apply with equal force to the sole of any other class of merchan dise by any other means. CAPITAL PRIZE $75,000.

The answers given were in most cases amusing, and often ludicrous. America was discov ered in every month in the year 1402, and no one gave the correct date. What State was last admitted to the Union? brought a variety of answers—several said Idaho, one Texas, some Nevada, one Kansas and one correctly answered Colorado. Where was Napoleon bom? In France—in Europe, in Washington, in the Mediterra nean See, in Corsicana, and the majority gave correctly, the Island of Corsica.

This is the feature of the fair, nnd if Tal bot connty had ten more such men as are tanking the show here in this department, the Talbot connty fair wonld be the great est display of farm products ever exhibited in Georgia.

Commercial Might* of States. Louisville Courier-Journal.) A Isle decision of the United States Su preme Court has an important bearing upon the inter-State rights of commerce. An agent for a liquor house in Chicago was proceeded against before a Michigan court because he had been pushing the business of his house in Michigan without paying the tax of $3UO imposed by the set of 1876. This tax is laid upon all persons who shall sell, solicit or take orders (sic) for the sole of spirituous or intoxicating liquor to citizens or residents of Michigan, to be shipped to the State or furnished at wholesale by non-reai- dent parties, as the law reads. The offend ing drummer being arraigned before a local court, waa fined; appealing to the Circuit Court, hie penalty waa affirmed by a Jury, and taking his case np to the Supreme ’ of Michigan the findings of the lower courts were all sustained. The decisions rendered by the upper courts in Michigan were uni formly advene to the defendant, and the justices were unanimous. The United States Supreme Court, however, reverse* the State decisions and finds for the defendant, on the theory that the Michigan law is opposed to the provisions of the Federal constitu tion, which reserve wholly to Congress the GAY GOWNS AND THE LIKE. Garments That tjuict Feople Would Itathcr Itrml About Than Wear. New York Evening Post. A beautiful evening dress, exhibited last week as u model for a dancing toilet, was made of white satin, with a stripe of white cmhroidered silk muslin alternating. The short skirt was full in the back, anil gored on the front and sides. A very wide scarf of white watered silk was draped grace fully across the skirt front, ending a large how, with very long ends, in the hack. The bodice was of the striped goods, high to the throat, and with long sleeves, lint fitted snngly over a second low-necked sleeveless bodic of white satin. With this were bretelles of garnet velvet, terminating in a sharp point as they reached the belt. These panels for a blonde might be made of pale blue velvet, bnt the dark red on thnt shimmering white material is much more striking. These velvet bre telles are quite in vogue in l’aris, and are ireferred upon forms at all stont to the , aunty, sleeveless Russian and other cut-off , ocket or velvet nnd plush so popular last season nnd this. Pure fine silk fibre underwear is one of the many luxuries of the weather, and ntnong tin; costly novelties in theso luxuri ous Parisian goods are suits knitted in heavy ribs, and so proportioned as to en case the form like a well fitted jersey. Ladies of taste invariably choose those made wholly of white, with perhaps a rib bon of pale blue or other color ran through the fancy knitted edges at the tops of the vests; but there are any number of suits showing a mixtnre of four different colors on one garment, each shade by itself and forming one-quarter of the vest. These, however, have too much of a harlequin ap pearance to he pleasing, though they ore quite as expensive ns the solid white ones. A gay and becoming dress for deini-toilet made of red anil black striped satin, with tiny red pleating around the bottom of the skirt A tunic and sash of red snrah form the drnpings. A long pointed bodice is laced closely over a vest of plain red su rah veiled with black Spanish lace. The sleeves show a pretty mixture of striped satin, plain snrnh and black lace frills. Silk serge in plain red also forms another chic toilet, with basque nnd tunic or polonaise of gray Bilk serge (lotted with red chenille. Drnwtn-r the Line. New York Sun.

The first rescue was that of n girl named Annie Ginley. She was playing on her father’s lioat at Big Basin. As Dugan's boat and Old Joe came along the gin fell into the cunnl. Before any other aid could be given to her the horse plunged in the water, seized tho girl's dress in hii teeth, swam with her clear across the basin, where the bonk was low, and clambered oat with her. He refused to swim back, and had to be token from the tow line and driven a mile back to a bridge. The second reacne was that of the boy who driven him on the canal. The boy was wrestling yesterday with another boat boy- on the tow path, and was thrown into tin- canal. He couldn't swim and there waa one near him who could. While a boatman was looking for a pike pole Old Joe jnmped into the canal and brought the boy safely bock to the tow-path. An Oyster Two Feet Long.
