Nkw Yohk Would: Miss Winnie Davis and Orator Grady have togeth er destroyed the last lingering sparks of sectional prejudice. The unusual heavy snow Btorni in Germany last week caused the loss of over two hundred lives where peo ple were caught out in it. In their circular of date December '24th Messrs C. L. Greene & Co., of New York, estimate the eotton crop of 188G—87 at 6,350,000 bales. Jefferson Davis takes occasion to pay tribute to the gallantry and de votion of the Irishmen whogave their services to the Confederate cause. And they deserve all he lias said. At tlie residence of the bride's fath er. Prof. It. T. Hunter, in Jefferson ville, Ga., at an early hour Thursday morning, Miss Fannie Hunter was united in marriage to Win. Lockett, of Albany. The law practice of Gen. linger A. Pryor is said to bo worth $20,000 a year. Soon after the war lie went to New York city, almost without a dol lar, and with no introduction except his reputation. Next Wednesday is the day for county elections all over Georgia and there will be much walking and much talking before the 0 p. m. of that day, and many hopes will be realized and many disappointed. Governor and Mrs. Gordon have been the recipients of a large number of presents from all parts of the country during the holidays. They highly appreciate these evidences of esteem in which they are held. Fifteen years ago the late General Logan was worth $100,000. The panic of 1873 left him without a dollar. He died comparatively poor, but his rich friends will see that his widow does not suffer. Southern Cultivator. Sparta, Oa., Dee. 30.—Tho office of the rail-road and express company here was entered last night by burg lars and the iron safe was broken open and about $150 taken. There is no clue to the thieves.

Smith, Powell & Lamb, of the Lakeside Stock Farm, at Syra cuse, N. Y., claim that the largest milk record ever made by a cow, clearly and fully verified, is that of the Holstein-Friesian cow, “Clothilde (H. H. B. 1838), calved March, 1870, whose milk record stands 20,021 lbs. twoo/.s. in one year commencing at 0 years5 months old. She wan select ed by them in person in North Hol land as an unusually fine specimen of the breed and imported in October, 1880. She dropped her first calf on January 24, 1881, when but 22 months old and just out of uuarantlne, and gave that year 8,964 lbs. two ozs. in eleven and ono-half months. This cow as a three year old was first brought prominently before tho pub lic by her record of 15,622 lbs. two ozs. surpassing all former records of cows of that age. As a four-year-old she again made a high mark by giving in one year 17,930 lbs. three ozs. or by omitting two days when sick and add ing two at tho end of the year, she gave 18,004 lbs. four ozs. in 305 dnyH, far surpassing all previous records for that age. Her six-year-ohl record, 26,021 lbs. two ozs., this year surpasses that of Kobo, much the highest record before known, by 2,245 lbs. ten ozs. and excelling all other records that we have seen published by over 5,000 Ills. “Clothilde” is a cow of unusual vigor, constitution and substance, wirii remarkable digestive organs, a, capacious chest, very large barrel and has tlie broadest and straightest back and hips we have ever seen on a Holstein-Friesian cow. Her head is long and clean, her neck is lengthy, clean-cut and fine, her coat soft and silky, skin mellow, her veins and udder large and well developed 'ire WEATHER AND CROP REPORT. Baldwin County, December, 1886. [Observations Nkaii Midway.] Even as a heifer we were very strong ly impressed with the remarkable qualities of this animal, believing that she was a cow of great capacity, possessing many desirable marked characteristics. Hhe was awarded the first prize at the New York State Fair in 1883 in a class of twenty-one very fine Holstein-Friesians. Her last calf was dropped August 17, 1885 Temper ature. Mnx. Mill.

General Simon Cameron drove from his Donegal farm to Harrisburg on Saturday and entertained many friends at his mansion, spending hiH eighty-eighth Christmas in cheerful ■conversation and in the distribution of “goodies” to hundreds of persons; the chief delights of his truly “green old age.” A woman in Michigan got a divorce from her husband because he was lazy, and a week after it was granted by the court, her former lord and master received notice that an aunt had died leaving him $40,000. The feeling of the wife can better be im agined than described. Macon, Gft., Dee. 31.—Secretary Lamar is spending tlie holidays at his old home, surrounded by his kith and kin and the friends of his early man hood. He lias met with an enthusi- astic reception, and has been tender «*d a banquet, which, however, lie lias declined. Reports relative to hi* im mediate marriage are idle surmises, but it is true lie is engaged to the lady so often named, and that the engage ment meets the entire approval of both of tho families concerned. It is also absolutely certain that no time has yet been lixed for the marriage ceremony. The lady is not of the fashionable world, and she lias hither to found more interest in domestic occupations and quiet charitUa than in the fashionable pleasures of Soci ety.—Savannah News.

Athens Chronicle : An amusing in cident occurred at a Christmas tree at one of tlie colored churches in El- berton. As but few members could read or write, they selected a colored damsel who “had been to school” to write tho names on the presents, which she readily 7 consented to do. When the presents were distributed and the names ealled out, the assem bly was greatly surprised to find that all the handsomest and most valuable presents had on them the name of the girl tlmt had done the writing. An indignation meeting was hastily held, and a redistribution of the pres ents ordered immediately.
