Two Wild Negroes.
The Cordelean.
Two wild negroes roaming abont
in the woods! That is a curious
state of affairs in Jackson county
which puzzles the people. A short
while since old Miliedge Bennett,
a negro was suspected of being
crazy. He had lived for some tim e
in Jackson county, and had two
children, a boy and a girl, who
stayed around him continually.
The old nenro was brought before
the Ordinary Court of Inquiry on
a writ of lunacy, and was adjudged
insane, and accordingly sent to the
asylum. His two children had by

man and woman, and when the old
father was sent away to Milledge-
ville they didn’t like it one bit, and
put right off into the woods, re
fusing to stay at the old home of
their crazy father.
They have lived in the woods for
some time and are raving mad.
They have lost what little civiliza
tion they possessed, and are now
back on the level of beasts. Their
presence creates terror, and they
have full sway wherever they roam,
They scarcely ever come out to the
view of mankind, but prefer to
stay in the woods. They live upon
corn, and whatever food they can
lay their hands upon. They have
several things which they took
from their home, among them

fierce as a tiger. Suffice it to say
that the wild negroes and their

Sentiment or Sense.
The complaint is now made that
mail matter addressed to various
points in the new state of Wash
ing often wanders away from its
intended course to the city of
Washington. This is just what
was foreseen by some before the
state was admitted to the union
and an effort was made to have the
name changed. Sentimental rea
sons, of course, stood in the way,
but if good, bard,' common sense
had been allowed to have sway
this endless trouble which has
been entailed upon patrons of the
postal service and annoyance upon
the post office authorities would
have been avoided. Perhaps it is
not too lat& yet to change the
name of the new slate.—Philadel
