Mr. Putnam, a liveryman of Bruns wick, has received 12. r > tons of sand from Spain, to be used for building purposes. A young lady of Elbert county will bring suit against a young man of that county for $5,000damages for breach of promise. G- M. Mask, of Sumter county, has it sow, which within the past twelve months has borne thirty-two pigs, twenty-seven of which she raised. The Elbeiton Loan and Savings Rank has made a good showing lor the first three months it has done business, and is undoubtedly a success. .J. ft Pope, of Buchanan, was hewing cross-ties, and became so interested thinking of his profits that he missed the tie and cut his foot. lie is now en gaged nursing his foot. The prohibition paper to be started in Atlanta will be a weekly, with $10,000 stock, 25 per cent, paid in. It is thought Gordon Hurtel, of the Journal, will lie called to the editorship.

At Atlanta J. II. Bryant, a butcher, has filed a suit for damages for $2,500 against Martin Bruckler.

An unfortunate difficulty occurred a few nights ago in the Sixth district of Carroll countv, at nr near the house of Marion Kinney, not far from Temple. The difficulty was between Kinney and I. S. Turner, a brother of A. D. Turner, of Carrollton, and resulted in the latter being so seriously beat and cut up that it is hardly expected that he will live. Rev. Thomas Hollis, of Buchanan, lias in his possession a bill of continental money made in 1777. It is certainly a curiosity. It is printed on brown paper, something like pasteboard. On both ends of the back.is printed “Death to counterfeit.” Mr. Aldridge has two hills in his possession ol like character, and Mr. G. M. Roberts has a coin made in 1720. At Crawford, a little town on the Georgia road where Dr. Mell preached for many years, the church was draped in mourning, and though twenty miles from Athens, communication was made by telegram and at the same minute the bells began tolling for the funeral in Athens, Saturday, the church bells there were ringing out the same sol emn peal. It will take very near 100 vessels to ■ move the stock of timber now 011 hand in Darien. The recent heavy arrivals have had but little Harrison, a town situated midwhy between Tennilie aud Wrightaville, on the Wrightsville and Tennule railroad, three yeats ago only had two families. To-day the population is 800. The ad vantages the place holds out to capi talists as a business centre have caused a regular boom in real estate, and dwellings and storehouses have sprung up as if by magic. The works of the Perkins Manufacturing Company, em- ployingJoverJlOO operatives, are situated there. The company manufacture all kinds of pine lumber, shingles and laths. Among the gentlemen proposed for Chancellor of the State University to succeed Dr. Mell, are the following : Benjamin Palmer, of New Orleans, an alumnus of the University—one of the most celebrated preachers of his day ; John LeC’-onte, of California, another „ distinguished graduate of the I niver- sity ; Dr. Geradean, of South Carolina; C.

About 0 o’clock Sunday morning a white waif, a. boy about a week old, was found lying in a basket, covered with two worsted shawls, at the front door of J. T. Butler’s residence, on Mercer street in Hamburg, just across the n\- er from Augusta. The foundling was placed at the door after midnight, and when found was alive, but only lived an hour afterward. The night was intense ly cold, and it is thought the infant was frozen to death. There was no clue to lead to the heartless mother, justice Getzen held an inquest over the waif Sunday afternoon, and the ver dict of the jury was death caused by exposure. The commanity is highly incensed, and will make every effort to ferret the case out and bring the brute to trial. OUR NEW YEAR’S GREETING!
