Mr. Ilenry Hussey was accidently killed last week in Coffee county while driving a wagon on the road between Colonel Den ton's and Uazlehurst. The circumstances showed that tho wagon wheel ran into n gopher hole which caused tho driver to f.ut on and a heavy bale of cotton to fall on him.

Linticnm seriously, though not danger ously, stabbed a negro, Robert Walker. It seems that tho difficulty arose about a hog belonging to the negro which had been get ting into the fields of Jlr. Linticnm for some time. Although the negro had been requc8ted several times to keep the hog out, and had been warned that if he did not the hog would bo killed, yet he paid no atten tion to tho warning, and this morning the bog was again in the field. Jlr. Linticnm took his hands and went down in the field SOUTHERN SCENES. Plantation Life In Georgia 111 the Olden Time. Wr *ten for the Baton Telegraph. Sometimes—I may gay very frequently— hogs would stray off into tho river swamp while young anil go wild. Within the im penetrable fastnesses of our Southern swamps they would increase and multiply to an alarming extent, and the plantation stock wonld become thoroughly demoral ized by them, and they would get to bo reg ular marauders, breaking into the cornfields at night, then tearing down corn and eating as much as they chose, when they would betake themselves to the swamp again. Early on a fine morning about tho first of October, Grandpa Bolton carno out on the piazza and called for JIcntor. The old man was soon on hand, and, feel- u g t int there was some new project on huud, I hung around to investigate the mat ter. "Mentor, come here and get a dram.

A J1URDEROU3 ASSAULT. A Brutal Husband Attempts the Life of Bis Wife. Amejuccs, November 3.—About 10 o'clock this morning, Reese Walker, who lives near the batcher pens, in the south western part of this citj’, got into a quarrel with hia wife, Ida. Reese has been biding oat for nearly a year, on account of an as sault on a white gentleman in this city, and he and his wife nave not been on very good terms. She was washing in the yard when tho qnarrel waxed hot, anil, unable to re strain his fiendish temper, he seized on axe and struck her a stunning blow in the side. She tell, and he struck her on the side ot the head with the flat aide of tho weapon, then tnrned around and strnck her with the pole ai one would strike a boy. The first blow inflicted an ugly scalp wound and fractured the skull, near tho left temple, and the last blow frac tured the bock of the aknll His aunt, Julia Jones, ran up to prevent him mar- dering his wife outright, and she received a severe bruise on tno head and a cat on the left arm.

Well, I reckon yon can go, bnt Jake says j'ou got scared at a 'possum under a clay root, nnd I consider you a poor soldier.” I retired in confusion, bnt I was on hand when Uncle Jlentor har nessed old Beck to the lumbering cart and mounted grandpa on old Bill, his favorite riding horse, with his hogskin saddle with its low pommel looked every way like a hunter to my unsophisticated eye. “Come on, Majc," nnd the old hog dog 'leaped about and yelped for jqy as the cavalcade rolled off down the lnne. I sat in the cart behind Uncle Mentor, and plied him with various questions regarding the wild hog bus iness, and he, grumbling good naturedly, entered into all the little details. “A-n, chile! yo' do lack all boys, yo’ wants ter know oil 'bout men'B wo’k 'long won yo’ too little ter do it, an'denes soon es }-o'gits big 'nongh yo’ gits to lazy, an' meks out dat yo' done fo'gotjliow tor do anyfing.

Just at this time we come to the edge ot the river swamp. We culled it the Half Moon Bluff, from tho foot that the sand ridge ran right up to the channel of the stream, which left the swamp above anil carved around against the face of the hill in a beautiful crescent, entering the swamp again about GOO yards below. Grandpa had done fastened old Bill to a stout suppling, and Beck was soon tied to a swinging limb, because she rubbed tho bridle off so bad, and then we starter! for the swamp. About twenty feet below us flowed the beautiful wine-colored water, and andor the willows, across the stream, there glis tened a snowy sand bar. Where we entered tho gloomy swamp a dry lagoon led off between two solid walla of block gums, water oaks and tnpeloes. In narrow places their interlacing branches met overhead, shutting ont tho sunlight, and causing a soft brown twilight that made the gnarled, knotted and water-lined tranks of the trees appear beautifully fantastic. The bine berries of the black gums hung thick among the variegated foliage, and the drooping branches of the tnpeloes bore great clusters of tho green, yellow and scarlet fruit. So pretty it was that I would bite one now ana then, and make a wry face at it< sharp acid flavor. “Ere wey dey bin, boss, Jcmini! Wat er track.
