A colored girl was drowned in the Oconee river at Mr. Joe Tucker’s place last Tuesday. She had crossed the river in a batteau to get a bucket of water, and as she was stepping out on the bank, the batteau floated back and the girl fell in the river and w r as drowned.

Stitli Myrick was bitten by a mad dog. We learn that his .vound lias never healed but still gives him a good deal of trouble. To make rhe matter more serious, several days since a cow belonging to Mr. Win. Harper, which was bitten by the same dog, exhibited marked symp toms of hydrophobia. Shelias been securely confined to await further de velopments. and in the meantime the poor boy who was bitten by the dog, is in a sad state of fear and appre hension.

Brooks arrived in this city, last Wednesday evening by the Central train, and were taken*to the residence of Mr. J. N. Moore. From thence the burial took place at 10 o’clock Thursday morning, Rev. T. H. Gibson, officia ting. Mr. Brooks w r as born in Talbot county, Ga., in 1850. His grand-fath er was a noted school teacher in this city, as far back as 1840. The subject of this notice w r as also at one time a teacher, in Jones county, we think, and married a daughter of the late Lueco M. Moore in this county. After the death of his father-in-law he resid ed some years in this city and was en gaged in merchandizing. After leav- ; nghere he became a member of the North Georgia Conference, and after preaching two years in this State, w r as transferred to the Colorado Confer ence, where for sixteen months lie was a most active, earnest, and suc cessful worker, not less than 250 per sons having been converted under his ministry there. On Thursday, 29th ult., he returned his home ip LeVeta, from a pro tracted meeting in which he had been engaged for several weeks, and while •Poking over his mail which had ac- ' emulated during his absence, was ■tricken with apoplexy, and fell from ns chair. He was placed in bed, a Imysician was sent for, and he reviv- .., ’ 0r a few minutes under restora- Ues administered, and then areturn- ‘■froke again brought unconscious- ess, and he died in a few hours. His ■etuains were taken in charge by the juasons, the body was embalmed, and J . is , vv ^ e ’ .™ th f°ur little children, farted, with a sad heart, to her dis- ant Georgia home. They were met m Atlanta by Mr. W. S. Brooks, onlv mother of the deceased, and as stated ‘hove, his remains were laid to rest in °, u . r , ci ty cemetery, by the side of two children, who had gone before to the fetter land. Thus at the early age of • J has passed away a man who had ft entered upon a wide field of use- ‘hicss. Many friends here and else- h‘‘ re throughout the State, will , dl T l with sorrow of his untimely ai ? ( f mingle their tears in sym- ^aiiy with the widow and orphans. J he pall-bearers were Messrs. Hatch p r £ er t^' V". Sanford, Geo. 1). Case, Wl Brown ’ W. H. Carr, and F. A. At the residence of Mr. Henry Good man. in this city, on Tuesday, the 4th instant, Miss Minnie, the only child of the iate Gen. George Doles, at the a „ e of twenty-six years. Mrs. Doles, who is a resident of this place, took her daughter several months since to Florida, hoping that her declining health might be benefitted by the change, but nothing could arrest the fatal disease, consumption, under which the invalid suffered, and under the kind care of Mr. Goodman, the mother and daughter were brought back to their home only a few days before her death. The decease of this young lady, aside from the natural grief it brought upon her near relatives and the nu merous friends she had made here w here she was born and spent nearly tlie whole of her life, w'ill cause a pang of sharp sorrow and regret to a num ber of the veterans of the great civil war, w'ho w r ere members of the 4th Ga. Regiment. The Baldwin Blues, of which her father w r as Captain, was one of the first volunteer companies of Georgia, which responded to the call of the confederate government for troops. The company was includ ed in the 4tli Ga. Regiment and in ef fecting its organization, the gallant young captain was elected its colonel. His personal qualities and especially his faithful and meritorious services procured for him ere long the com mission of Brigadier General and he v r as found equally capable and relia ble in that, as in the lower positions he had held, and when he fell in 1863 on the field of battle near Richmond, his death was the cause of sincere sor row on the part of the officers and men whom lie had so long led and cared for. Xears passed and the cause for which they had fought was but a cherished memory when in the sum mer of last year, many of the survi vors of the old fourth Georgia held a reunion in this city. It w r as an occa sion of much interest to the partici pants and also to our community. The veterans were delighted to meet the widow and daughter of their old commander, and gave them a sort of ovation in the old Representative Hall of our college. Among other things they passed a resolution adopt ing Miss Minnie Doles as “the daugh ter of the Regiment.” Her early death will doubtless, as above stated, be learned by them with sincere sor row. At her funeral, the pall-bearers v r ere Joseph Staley, E. T. Ailing, Ja cob Caraker, Tlios. Mappin, Edward Lane, and Fred Haug, all members of the Baldwin Blues during the war. This seems under all the circumstan ces to have been peculiarly appropri A large number of our citizens gath ered at the Methodist church to at tend her funeral services, which were conducted by Rev. D. McQueen, and accompanied her remains to the cem- eterv. Among them we noted Gen’l. D. H. Hill, who appeared deeply in terested and stated to an acquaint ance that he knew her father well during the war, and esteemed him highlv. We have but little room to to speak of the character of the de ceased. We may truthfully comprise all that might be said at greater length bv stating that in all the rela tions of life she did her pait well, and especially in those of a daughter and Christian. What higher eulogy could lie pronounced on any human being ? ^^.-4 The contract for building a new jail in Eatonton was let last Tuesday to Ailing & McMillan of this city. The jail is to cost $5,000.
