On Sunday afternoon a man suppos-

Ocmulgee river, eight miles nor.h ol
Macon.
Monday afternoon at 4 o’clock J. F.

Wicket I Shoals, took his shot-gun and
went to the river to hum duck.-.
When he readied the bank he un>

Before Mr. Binl could g«> to hisassisi-

# Mr. Bini refuseil to surrender his
gtm*and alter a desperate struggle,
succeeded in wrenching it from the
man. He then attempted to quiet hi-
Jng, shivering assailant, ami par
tially succeeded.
Mr. Bin! recognizwl the man as John

was evideutly crazy. -

asked Mr. Binl.

a flask of whiskey and went out.
The two men followed me ami wautew
me to give them a drink. I refused
ami they drew their pistols and triew
to kill me. I ran to the river an*,

Mr. Bird, believing that lie had a
lunatic to deal with, told Simmons tliai
lie would protect him from the two
men, atid Anally induced him to give
up his pistol and empty fla-k. After a
proloiiginl parley Siiuuioiia was iudm-ed
to go to Mr. Bird’s house. Thrrts he
was undressed and put to lied, aim
medical treatment was given him.
Yesterday , morning be appeared to be
regaining his mind.

that the position they occupy w'ith re-
ticked an infant of the matron. Tin
citiUI was very ill, aud the mother wa-
•Idigetl to take it with her in her anin-
whcti she went about her duties, a*

was not a nurse to be s))ared. One

grasped a piece of rind that was near
her and began to suck.it with great ea
gerness. The mother was alarmed aim
ind tried to take it away, sure that il
would be injurious uuder the ci’cum-
ssaces, but tne child cried so hard and
^ra^p the rhino so tightly that at ia*t
•*ne gave up the coutest.
Tlie next morning the doctor laid:
••Mrs. , how Is your baby to-
iay ?” fully expecting to hear an un-
.avorablf report as several infatita had
lied during the night.
“She is a great deal better,“ said the
mother, cheerfully. “But surely i
thought I had kilted it yesterday, doc-
or. i let her get hold of a bit of ham
rind when 1 wasn’t looking at her and
-he got it in her mouth, aud cried so
hard when 1 tried to take it away 1
thought she'd have a spasm, so I let
