A man of ooiumon appearance and dress went into our bank on Saturday morning last with what appeared to be a considerable sum of money which MhL wart *'r ,rovei * to bo more than vA•■>00, and asked cashier Bethune if lie would give him large bills for bui&II ones, such as fives, tens, &c. This be ing a reasonable request Mr. Bethune agreed to accommodate him and pro ceeded to count the money handed to mm by the stranger. He soon came across an unsigned bill—then another and a third, when he passed thejuioney back to the ownerofitandtold him he declined to make the exchange. The man asked why he did so and the cashier told him there were several unsigned bills and he did not care to mu Ve any thing further to do with it. The stranger then sat, down on the floor of the bank and appealed to the people who in the meantime had come in to know \vhat was wrong with liis money; at the same time spreading it out in a way that showed he was unaccustomed to handling such amounts. In the mean time, a messenger had been sent by Mr. Be thune for a policeman, and Mayor Walker and Deputy -Marshal Diinn came in and took the man iutocustody. He was searched and his money taken from him, scaled up, deposited in the bank for safe keeping and the man sent to jail till a further investigation could he made into the mystery. il« said his name was Patrick Dorry and that lie was in the employment of Wm. Erskine of Atlanta. Mayor Wal ker telegraphed to Mr. Erskine for in formation and received a reply very soon that the latter know nothing about the man who claimed to be in his service. The latter will doubtless be held in custody to answer before the courts for the crime of attempting to pass spurious money. The amount of spurious bills mixed with those that were good amounted to about $800. After the above was written, Dep uty U. 8. Marshal Locke of Macon, who had been notified of what had occurred, arrived here and spent the night. The next morning ((Sundayi lie carried Dorry with him to Macon to lie dealt with by the U. 8. coiut, as the law may require, for attempt ing to pass money both spurious and counterfeit. We cannot but regard Dorry as a tool of sharper and more unscrupu lous men. Ho seemed entirely un conscious of having done anything wrong. A lawyer of this city offered, we understand, to effect his dis charge from custody under a writ of habeas corpus for a fee of $100, but the prisoner promptly refused the of fer, saying if there was anything wrong about the money he did not know it and he hail had no intention of doing anything that was unlawful.

It has been the custom in Milledge- ville for the several congregations to unite and have a general Sunday School Union Pic Nie, for the children annually on some day in May. Last Friday was the day, and the young people cheery and gleeful in tlie hey day of youth, were out in full force. But by some mishap, instead of being one Union Pic Nic there were two, tlie Methodists and Presbyterians uniting and spending tlie day at Oar- riugton’s Grove; while tlie Baptists hud a Pic Nic to themselves out at Mr. John Edward’s place near tlie river. At the Carrington Grove Pic Nic there were, perhaps, over two hundred, counting old and young and we noticed that Capt. and Mrs. Conn, Capt. Jake Caraker, Mr. and Mrs. Hines, Mrs. Ed. Bell, Capt. and Mrs. Crawford, Rev. Mr. King and many others of the “grown up people” were very active in their endeavors to make it- a day of real-pleasure and freedom from all restraint for the children. The "cheery and gleeful voices, tlie romp of the children, their frequent outbursts of happy mirth, made old men feel like they were boys again. It was right amusing to see such men—old settled men as Capt. Crawford, Mr. Fair, Rev. Mr. King and others like them, chasing or chased by fair young maidens in that childish game of snap—which consists in some one snapping their finger at you as a banter to chase them around a couple holding hands, till you caught them. The Messrs. Fail, made martyrs of themselves for the comfort of the children, as they stood by a large barrel with knife and lemon squeezer, making and serving iced lemonade to tlie gallant little beaux who waited on the little Misses with all tlie gallantry of court iers. A bountiful dinner was spread upon cloths placed i n the grass, not “sub tegmire fugi,” as Virgil has it but under tlie shade of the beautiful, broad spreading oaks that make that such a desirable location for pic nies. Tlie children decorously waited af ter having assembled around tlie ta ble till Rev. Mr. King invoked a bless ing when with appetites keenly whet ted by their romps ami digestive or gans anxiously waiting for work they charged the table and soon all had enjoyed a hearty repast. It goes without saying as it always does that it was a success to its projectors be cause it accomplished its aim in af fording one day’s happiness and pleas ure to a generation that ten or fifteen years hence will be doing the samo thing for a younger generation then coming on as they are doing now. . “C.

Ears and Scalp Covered with Ecze matous Scabs and Sores Cured by Cuticura. M V little son, aged ciglit years, has lieen afflicted;with.Eczema or the scalp, and at times a great portion of the body, ever alnc.e he was two years old. It began in Ida cars, and ex tended to hla scalp, which became covered with scabs and sores, and from which a sticky ilnid poured out, causing Intense itching and distress, ami leaving his hair matted and lifeless. Un derneath these scabs the skin was raw, like a piece of beefsteak. Gradually the hair came out and was destroyed, until hut a small patch was left at ttie back of the head. My friends in I*eabody know how my little boy lias sutrered. At night he would acratch his head until Ids pillow,was covered with blood. 1 used to tie Ids imilda behind him, and in many ways tried to prevent his scratching; but it was no use, lie would scratch. 1 took him to the hospital and to the best phvsicjans iu Peabody without sue. ce-<. About this time, some friends, who hud teen cured by tlie Octictua Rkmkdiks. prevailed upon me to try them. I begun to use them on tlie l.itli of January last. In seven months every particle of the disease was removed. Not a spot or scab remains on his scalp to tell the story of his snilerlng. His hair has returned, and is thick and strong, and li'.s scalp Us sweet arid clean as any child's In tlie world. I <-.■ miot say enough to express my gratitude for tills wonder ful (lire by the Crnci’Ki Rkmkoiv.-, mid wish all similarly afflicted to know tlmt my statement is true ami without exaggeration.
