H. Scott usher at the Ga. Lunatic Asylum, has made in two years and six months 1674 rounds of one mile each, and conducted 5498 visitors through the buildings. Aug. 21st, 1886. Frank Humphries is in jail in this city, awaiting his execution which is fixed for the 24th of September. He is reading his Bible and trying to pre pare to meet his God. The trial of Dr. Woodrow, at Beth any, resulted in the acquittal of the the doctor on both counts. An ap peal will bs taken to the synod at Sparta next October. amusing to see the serious earnestness, zeal and firm stick-to-it iveness with which B. and R. set in the alcove and play drafts for hours and for winnance too. Each has for a stake, a piece of tobacco about the size of your middle finger, which they lay down beside the board when the contest begins with as much gravity as if their all were at stake Each stops and hesitates over a move as long and deliberately as if the fate of Empires hung upon it, but at last B. wins and takes down one piece and R. puts up another. The same staid and serious conflict begins again and after, perhaps, an hour of hard work, deep thought and careful moving, R. wins and B. has to “put up'’ the piece he had won an hour before. And so rocks the game from 6 a. in., to 3.30 p. m., when Base Ball supercedes it, and the amount of tobacco that has been lost or won is not over half an ounce, or more generally they quit even. When questioned about the boldness of their betting so extensive ly, B. says, “Oh we must have ‘some tiling up*’ to make it interesting, - ’ and R. says, “I wouldn’t waste my time to play unless I had a chance to win something.” Don’t let them know I told this on them. Ed. B's. Fish Story. The season for snake stories is a- bout over, but that for fish is still in. Ed. B. is about the most zealous fish erman here, but not always the most successful, at least in numbers. But when he comes in with “a fisherman’s luck,” (you know what that is,) he has always to tell of having “hung the finest trout in the Oconee, but he dropped back just as he had him ashore: he would have weighed’twelve pounds.” “Will you swear to it,” asked Dr. B. “No,” said he, “I swore enough when he fell back into the river.” But that is not the story he told. He said that he was in a boat fish ing in the river near the mouth of the creek, had caught several nice fish that were then fluttering in the bottom of the boat, and that a fine five pound carp that has escaped from some of the fish ponds in the late freshets, hearing them in the boat made a struggle and jumped from the river into the boat with them. “Gentlemen,” he said, “you may not believe it, but its a fact and don’t you forget it.” I don’t doubt it, for Ed says it is true and he never tells anything but the strict truth about his fishing ex ploits.
