Brown, of Virginia, has accepted the call recently extended him by the Presbyterian church of Brnnswiek, and will arrive about the middle of March. Copeis Walker, colored, while cutting timber in tbc park at Waynesboro, Monday, had the misfortune to cat his foot so badly that it will probably be necessary to ampu- lute it. TheMftcon & Dublin Railroad is now graded to Allentown. The sight of con victs at work is a novel one to the people of that section. Yesterday the depot was laid out. In Albany, Sunday, Shelby Woodall, fourteen years old, was accidentally shot in the face by Willie Wallace, another boy.

His herd embraces some very fine milkers, including a number of full- blood Jerseys. The Athenian club gave a dance at their clnh room and chartered two street cars to carry the young ladies home. Some mis chievous boys put rocks on tho track which caused the street cars to run off. The yonng men in their clawhammer coats hid to get out and lift the car on. Cspt. Richard Hobbs, of Albany, went to Americas to invito the Ohio excursionists to the Artesian city. After extending this invitation he button-holed a man, and for a level half hour talked Albany and artesian water to him, to finally find out that ho had been wasting his eloquence on an Americas cotton buyer. In Bolingbroke the other day Master George Taylor encased a gallon oil can in a brick furnace for a boiler, and while urging another boy who was acting as fireman to pile on the wood so as to “get up two hun dred pounds of steam,” tho boiler burst, severely scalding the engineer and frighten ing his little sister, the wood-passer, nearly to death. ’ Practice of Judicial Itinerancy. The Macon Tepemupb is strong in its rebuko to judicial electioneering. The sentiment of the bar of Georgia is against this practice on tbo part of ita judges. Yet iwraevemnce in it sometimes pans out well, bongressmun Crisp pursued the practice for si! it was worth, ana he won. As he was successful nobody cares about the means. Bat the practice of judicial itinerancy still will become in time so offensive that a law »;ill be passed forbidding it.—Albany THE OHIOANS IN AMERICUS. How the People of Sumter County Enter tnlneil Tlielr Gaeitt, Ausnicus, B'ebruary 9.-Yesterday the Ohio visitors together with a large delega tion of citizens accepted an invitation kind ly extended by President 8. H. Hawkins for a trip oyer the new Americus, Preston and Lumpkin railroad to Lumpkin. The party, consisted of about 250 guest, left Amentus at 10 o’clock a. in., and after a two hours ride through p. beautiful, fer tile and attractive country, reached the ter minus of the rood, which at present is Sawyer’s mills, three miles east of Lump kin. Here a short stop was made, after which tho train returned to Richland, where dinner was to be served. The hos- pitablo people of that place, headed by Captain T. H. Myers, had prepared at the residence of the latter a most elaborate and bountiful renast, consisting of'nearly every conceivable viand from roast tur- IN THE SIEUHAS. key down to pork, and to which tho party were to “fall upon” and demolish. After dinner speeches were called for, to which call Mr. Longaneckor responded for Ohio and Editor Glessner, of the Recorder, for Americus. After several musical selec tions by the ladies of the party, “The Sweet Bye and Bye” was sung with a chorus of a hundred voices, after which tho ride to Americus W’os resumed, where we arrived safe at 5 p. m. At every stop of the train the Ohioans would rush around wildly after canes, magnolia boughs, palmettoes and moss—mementoes to be carried home by them. This excursion will be of incal culable benefit to Americus, as quite a number of the party will remain ana settle among us, and many others announce their c ^ n * Then they pulled on intention of returning here in June nnd S lo T“ #n ?«carfs and :great coats and reluc- buying lands.

Correspondence Newark Advertiser. The forty-two miles of snow sheds and tunnels that lie between Bluo Canyon, on the western slope of the Sierras, and Trnckee, on the eastern side of the moun tains, hide gome of the grandest scenery on the great overland route. Trains in either directions pass over this portion of the road at night, and only the summer visitors that stop at one oi the “way stations" have any idea of the picturesque summit. Bine Can yon, the first of the shed stations, is 1G8 miles from San Francisco. It has an eleva tion of 4,093 feet, and lies at the lower end of the heavy snowfall.

A correspondent at Brewersvilie, Liberia, writing.to the Gate City (Mo.) Press, says: This place, Urowersville, is fifteen miles tSmi Monrovia. It is fifteen years old. It is the largest settlement in Liberia outside of Monrovia. All the people who have emigrated out here in the last ten nr fifteen years have settled in this place. The peo ple in tho settlement are poor, and one isn't able to help the other in a business sense of view. There are no horses, no rnnles, and no oxen in the whole settlement. They have to do all farm work with the hoe, the rake and the ax. 11 have been ont here now six months. Peo ple are in a suffering condition for some-1 thing to eat and for clothes to wear. There settlement is too poor to support one. The BABY CARRIAGES, LAP ROBES, WHIPS, HORSE BLANKETS, inhabitants number 556. Calico is 25' cents per yard. A common laborer, when he can get work to do, receives 25 cents per day. Pickled pork is 25 cents per pound, shoulder meat 25 cents per pound. All the flour and meat used here is im ported from England and America. Cora meal is 10 cents per quart. Common flour is $15 per barrel. This is the greatest place for sores I ever saw. There is here an insect; its name is jiger; it is very dan- geruus. I have seen grown people, and children, too, with their toes eaten off, Shoes are more needed than in America. It is necessary to wear shoes all the time so to protect your feet from insects. The people are unable to keep shoes on all their children nil the time, and n good many of them have to wear sore feet all the year round. My boy's feet have been bo sore he conld hardly walk. Tho only way the settlors have to make any money here is by raising nnd selling coffee. It will take a new-comer like my self from flvo to six years to get a coffee farm in trim for selling coffee.
