We are worry lo hear of our esteein

Mr. John Lee, at Schlatterville, of be¬
ing very ill of pneumonia. We hope
soon to hear of his. recovery, and hack
The Sand Slough bridge is reported
in bad condition, on account of the
barer* beneath the stringers falling out
which will certainly cause the bridge
to swag, if not float away.
Owing to baste and more particularly
out’ limited space for reading matter,
thb.iie .4 was neglected last week.
A few weeks ago Mrs John Strick¬
land, near Schlatterville, while attempt
ting to cross a bridge on Mr. Win. II
Bailey's train road, was run over by
the loaded trucks and seriously injured.
She being placed in an awkward posi¬
tion rendered it impossible for her to
escape the accident. One of her feet
was so badly crushed that amputation
was at once executed; and is seriously
injured ot how iso, so much so, that her
recovery is extremely doubtful.
Last Monday, the 26th instant, the
Day Train was put on the A. <fc G. R.
R., and will run from Savannah to
Jacksonville, Fla., in eleven hours and
fifty tive minutes. Lcavs Savannah at
8:20 a. nt., ariiAesat Jacksonville, Fla ,

8:50 a m., and arrives in Savannah at
9:20 p. in. The schedule will .appear

Titer is ceitaiu'y ;in end to every
thing, (we menu the end o( Mine) and
sooner or later the time will cease with
some of those chicken thieves, that’s
molesting the fowls in the coops at ihc
hour of mid-night when the owners
are wrapped in the sweet embraces ot
Morpheus. Only preventative that we
can suggest, is to prepare youraelvg*
with a gun loaded , not with sulphur
aud wind, but powder and shot. Not
many nights ago some of the thieves
taken the last old settler that some of
the townsmen had.

climates, their inhabitants grow sallow
from torpid Livers, Indigestion and all
