For peach, apple and pear trees there

KILLED BY A METEOR.
Mr. Julian Ha'rtridge, mtmber of
Congress from the First Congresssonal
District of Georgia, died at Wash ing
ton on the 8th inst. His death was
quite unexpected, and has caused
Reep sorrow where ever the deceased
‘was known. He was an excelh nt gen
tleman, and a worthy representative
of Georgia, The Savannau News, as a
tribute of .i respect, was issued in
mourning oh the Uih inst. It contained
U brief sketch of tbe life of Mr. Hart-
ridge, and of bis service to tbe state,
lb closing the article its sAys: ‘To
this aunied sketch of the public ser
vices of the deceased we have not at

The runjor that two men had been
burned aliye by revengeful enemies, in
Nebraska, is verified by later investiga

-quarrel between the occupants of neigh

On Tuesday night last Leonidas Gre-
ver, wno resided in the vicinity of New
town, Indiana, met his death in a way
that is probably without paralled in
thisux any other country. Mr. Grover
was a widoiref living on his farm with a
married daughter and her husband.
On the eveuing referred to the married
couple had been absent on a visit to
some neighbors, and, upon returning at
a late hour, entered the house, find
ing everything, to ail appearance, in
usual order, and supposing that Mr,
Grover had already retired, went to
bed themselves. Next morning gthe
daughter arose and having prepared
breakfast, went to the adjoining room
to call her fathei, and was horrified to
find him lying npou hi3 shattered bed
mutilated corpse. Her screames
brought the husband quickly to the
bedroom, aud inspection disclosed
a ragged opefiing in the roof, directly
over the breast of the unfortunate man.

canon-shot, and extending downward

holes showed the direction taken by

revealed the fact- that the awful calam
ity was caused by the fall of a meteoric
stone, and the storie itself pyramidal
iu shape and weighing twenty pounds
aid a few ounces, avoirdupois, and
stained with blood, was unearthed
from a depth of nearly five feet, thus
showing the fearful impetus with which
it struck the dwelling. The position
of the corpse, with other, surround
ings, when found showed that the vic
tim was asleep when stricken, aud that
death to him was painless.

THE FORGED ELEOTORIAL GER
TIEIC A TES.
Peofitablexe^s of Feuit.—The pear
should have a broader acreage on our
farms, and as the supply swells and pri
ces lesson we should be content with
fewer dollars per bushel. At fair pay
ing prices, there is hardly a limit to
sales- Not half or a tithe of the acre
age, care and culture which mere profit
pays better than pears. A short supply
of the latter can not be gained on very
much for years. ’ The crop is one,, too,
which neeas and will pay for cartful
culture and harvesting. The fruit bus
iness is a vast industry. Year by year
its swells in value with the growth of
the land and the more refined tastes of
the people. No such young nation ever
gave to fruit culture the like devotion,
or make such strides in its acreage or
improvement. Fine Frnits are a na
tional longing, and they pay. From
what can you, year by year, be surer of
a harvest in a crop or cash?—Rural
New Yorker.
The New York Sun, in a strong arti
cle, calls attention to tbe forged electo-
rial certificate from Louisiana, which
was c onuted by Congress under the
direction of the electorial commission.
At least, two names upon it were forg
ed; the date was fabricated to corres
pond with the rejected original, which
Returning Board Anderson had carried
to Washington, and which Mr. Ferry,
President pro tempore, of the Senate,
had told him was irregular in form,
and therefore i nvalid. It has already
been proven that Anderson hurried
back to New Orleans to procure the pa
per upon which the electorial commis
sion acted finally. A. B. Levissee
swore before the Potter Committee
that his signature to f hs second set was
a palpable forgery and Kelly, the col
ored man, who was Kellogg’s messen
ger at the time, and had charge of the
room where the forgeries were perpe
trated, recently swore that to his
knowledge the name of Oscar Joffrion
was also forged. Levisee, who now
holds the office of sub-revenue agent
in San Francisco, aud was probably as-
assigned to that remote service as to be
out of the way, has established the for
gery ia bis own person, aud Kelly has
proved another. The difference be
tween the two certificates from -Liouisi-
ana is the fiist pretended to verify a
fraudulent result of the election fox
President by genuine signatures, while
the second repeats the fraudulent at
testation by forged signatures; and
this second paper was the one adopted
by the commission as the means of dec
laring Hayes President. So that tbe
astounding fact will go into history that
the eight electoral votes' of Louisiana
were in the first instance stolen by con- ]
spiraev and fraud; and in the second
instance, that the certificate declaring
this result, being vitated by barefaced
forgevy, was yet solemnly adjudicated
valid, because the eight-by-seven
commission determined that they would
not go behind the face of the forged
paper!— Ban News.

concerned, with the metropolitan journals.
III. Its compilation of the news by mail is the
freshest of the best, comprising everything of in
terest in the current newspaper literature of the day.
jV, Its editorial department Is full, bright aud
vivacious, and its paragraphs and opinions are more
videly quoted than those of any other southern
journal. It discusses ail queatious of public inter
est, and touches upon all current themes.
Y, ‘ BiU Arp,” the most genial of humorists, will
continue to contribute to its columns. “Old Si”
and “Uncle Bernus’, will work in their special Saida
and will furnish fun both in prose and verse.
VI. It is a complete news, family and agricult
ural journal. It is edited with the greatest eace,
“and its coiumna.coutain everything of interest in
tire domain of polities, literature aud science.
