DOUGLAS DUEHDEBRY FROZEN TO DBATH ON THURSDAY NIGHT. Th« community wan startleci yesterday by the report that a man wp« found in a dying oondition near the lower bridge and that shortly after his removal from there he died. x Without entering into full details, it seems that the unfortunate man had been, while partially under the influence of stimulants, attacked by a stupor, and the bitter cold night put an end to his earthly existence. Upon hearing the facts, Coroner Lloyd promptly summoned the following jury; W. li. Bedell, J. B. Ivey, Lewis Buhler, W. Wolfson, Wm. Meyer, R. H. Estes, M. C. Gordon, J. T. Pearce, J. H, Conway, E. T. Harris, T. B. Mitchell and R M. Kirvin, who, at 10 o’clock a, m. on yesterday, set as an inquisition ou the body. The following evidence was submitted to them; ZENO PICKET 8 WORN. Said: About half past 12 o’clock I was knocked up for duty, aud started to the Court House. Before 1 came out, I heard somebody on the porch, before I got out of bod; they stopped off the porch railing. 1 started out and my wife told me to be particular and take my pistol, as somebody was on the porch, I told her I reckon not, stepped out and saw no one; told her to lock tbe door. I saw nobody. I started off and struck the deceased with my foot. I saw some one corning with a lantern; stopped them as I wanted to see who this man was. They were Mr. Moore, Brady and H. L. Palmer. Tney felt his puke and said they thought he was about gone, me and Mr. Brady started after a hand cart; me and Mr. Moore took him up and carried him across the street; we laid him down then, as he was so heavy we couldn't tote him. Mr. Brady came with the cart and we brought him to the Court House. 1 left then to go on duty saw him no more till this morn ing. He was not dead when I found him, but nearly so. Mr. Horn told me that he saw two persons with him at the bridge. TIFF MOORE BWOBN Bald: About midnight I heard a whis tle and went where it was. Brady told me there was a man dead at the bridge; went there and found a man in a dying condition. We brought him to the Court House, gave him some whiskey, and chaf ed his hands, but could not resuscitate him. It was my impression that he bad been drunk and the whisky had died out. DR. JOHNSON BWOBN. Said: The deceased took dinner with me yesterday. 1 left him at my house be tween 3 and 4 o’clock; he was pretty well under the influence of whisky then. He ate a very hearty dinner and thought he would sober up; tried to get him to lie down, he refused. My wife says he re mained there an hour or bo after I left I never saw him any more after leaving him yesterday. His name is Douglass Dueeberry. HENRY UABRETT SWORN, said: Last night at 11:25 I went up to my brother's. My brother had to come over to town and had to stay till 11:36. There was a gentleman came across tie street with a lamp; he stopped me and told me there was a man there that claimed to tie Dr. Johnson's brother-in law, that he was drunk and would freeze to death if he stayed there all night; ask ed me if I would not help carry him home. I told him I didn’t like to bother With a drunken man; but would help him across the bridge, when the police could tak« him: he could wurm for awtiile; went alaiut half a block and gave out; couldn’t walk any farther ; we met two lugroes; they gave us a lift, and we brought him to M r. Pickett's house; he was very drunk when we found him. JOHN BRADY BWOKN, says: Last night before 12 10 I went down and called Pickett, he was up, there was a light in his huuae, he answered and I came uptown got down asfarasLay lldd's and met Wood, he had a lump, and told mo there was a man lying on Pickett’s front porch, he took him there, he claimed to be Dr. Johnson’s brdt her-ln-law, Duesberry; I went to the corner, blowed my whistle, Tiff Moore and Doon Palmer come to me and we went down there. We got there Mr. Pickett was standing close to him; a man came up with a cigar; I felt of his pulse, couidn't feol any; I went for a hand cart; mo and Mr. Pickett roiled him down here. MB. WOOD, SWORN, says: On lust night about 11 o'clock we heard sombody holloa; we wore alt in bed, and It wakened me up; Mr. Roberta, who Ilves on the opposite cor ner, had a torch in bis hand; was going down tbe ditch; we met this man holloa ing; asked him where he was g<»lug, and what he wae do ing there; Mid h*» had fell on his way to Mr. Woods; Mr. Roberta fetched him up to the house before, ( could get droesed to go out. and coma in, and frightened«my wife aud children, and asked to coma over to his brotherin law's Dr. Johnson, wo got him down to the end of the street In Girard; ho walked very well then; then he laid down, and I could not lift him. I met a young man named Garrett and we fetched him a short peace; he became too heavy for us, and we met two darkies, whom I don’t know, and carried him over as far as where he was found, the darkles refusing to go further; this young man went to wards the railroad bridge and I came as far as Layfield's before I came across an officer; and the officer as speedy as possi ble got assistance and went down there, and I l«ft for home. 1 asked them If that was all sufficient, they would take care of him, they said they would. physician's certificate. Tliis is to certify 1 hat Douglas Dureber ry eame to his deat h from exposure to cold on the fiwzing night of December 26th, while in a state of Intoxication. Wm. W. Flewellkn, Examining Phj-sleian. Upon which tbe Jury returiuxl the ver dict ae follows: “Now. wo, the jurors aforesaid, do, upon our oaths, say that Douglas DueHberry came to ma death from exposure to cold on the fhk'ring night of December 26th, while in a state of Intoxication." The poor fellow wiu* tattiod yo ' / lay afternoon in uie city cemetery. The Macon Nhsstlng A Array. Relative to the unfortunate shooting af fair, reporbxl as having occurred in Matron ou Christmas day, it seems that the re ports which reached this city were greatly exaggerated. The Telegraph and Mes senger mentions only one affray happen ing ou that day, and suppressing the names of Messrs. Nottingham aud Jami son, speaks of it as follows: “it seems that during the day a young man received a blow on the forehead from an unknown party, and during the afternoon some one suggested that tbe blow had been inflicted by another young man with whom Hie first, had had a diffi culty. About seven o’clock the first young man was speaking of the occurrence when the second, came up. No. 1 ac costed him, and, standing In front of him. laid both hands on his shoulders, aud asked if he had struck him. What was the reply is not definitely known; but it is reported to be that he did not kuow. No. 1 then said. “Well, if you did not do It we might as well settle the difficulty." No. 2 understood the remark ,to be in substance. “Weil, this is as good a place as any to settle the difficulty.” and drew his pistol and commenced tiring. No. i then drew his weapon after the second shot, It having become entan gled in his overcoat pocket, and com menced shooting also. No. 2 stepped be hind a targe tree box. aud the tiring went on until No. 2 had emptied ids revolver when he ran down Second street towards the Lanier House, crying murder, police, etc. No. 1 continued tiring until all his chambers were exhausted. About ten or eleven shots were fired. No. 1 was found to be wounded in tbe breast, the ball entering full In trout and glueing around to the back where It was extricated. Infileting a painful but not dan gerous wound. The other young man was shot in the thumb of the left hand and the right arm, above thaelbow, the ball entering and re bounding from the wound. It is singular some one was not hit, as quite a crowd was on the street, and several in dose proximity. Both were doing well last evening” CIAIIEM COUNTY, ALABAMA.

Probate Office, Chambers <k)., I Dec. 23<i, 1878. f At an adjoursed term of the Commis- HiooerH’Oourt, the undersigned, a commit tee appointed to prepare a suitable tribute to the memory of our deceased colleague, Judge JamcH H. Forman, presented th<? following; • The death of those distinguished by their station, But by their virtue more, awakes tbe mind Tosolemn dread, and strikes a saddening air; Not that we grieve for them, but fur ouraelves, Left to tbe toil of life, And ret the best Are, by the playful children of this world At once forgot, ae they had never been." We are pained to announce the death of our worthy au<i estSSOMn cullf®gue.JainM» H. Forman. < Jolleaguesj the seal of Judge Forman amongat us is vacant; to him the hour of counsel and labor for his (x>uutry and fellow citizens hiw ceased; he has gone to carry up for inspec tion the lata>re of his life and office, to be tried by the unering judge of of all mankind, and we trust sincerely that be received the reward of “Weil done thou true and faithful servant." Judge Foreman was born in 1807, aud a native of one of the New England States, and moved to this county in the fall or 1834, he followed the profession of carpenter, aud afterwards farmer, and served as County Commissioner from 1868 up to the time of his death, which occurred at bls residence near Oak Boery, on the Bth. day of December, 1378. By his upright life he gained the coufi'ieuce of the citi zens of his county, and by them was placed in positions of trust and honor. He was a public spirited man, ever prompt and ready to advauoe the Interest of his countrymen. The association of Judge Foreman with the present metn bars of this Court since November 1874, was ever pleasant, and many were the kind and wise counsels' we received from him; he was an energetic and positive man he reflected long and well before be would take position. We loved and respected him in life and mourn for him in death. We have hardly the heart, in the profound grief which thia bereavement brings, to speak the tribute due to the private virtue and public worth of our departed colleague. In whatever becomes high manhood, In unswerving integrity, in real generosity, la gentleness of nature, and courtesy which springs from a nice sense of honor —in all these virtues and graces, ha doubtless was not without the alloy oom mon to human nature, but hla faults were too slight to dim the brightness of a char acter as hl*. As an evidence of our high appreciation of the social, moral and official worth of our deceaeed colleague. Rtnolvfd, That we bow submissively, yet in sorrow, to the mandate of that mysterious Providence that called our es teemed member of our Oourt from the la bor of Oouusel and Justice of this Earthly Temple to a correct account of his stew ardship at that bar where the great Judge of tbe universe presides. Resolved. That in the death of Judge Forman, we have lost a true and sincere colleague, and Chambers county a faithful officer, tbe Methodist Church a bright and shining light, the community at targe an honored and useful member of society, and his family an affectionate husband, a kind and indulgent father. Resolved, That a blank page be set apart In our book of minutes upon which shall be Inscribed the name, date of birth and death of our beloved colleague. Resotved, That we tender to the family of our deceased colleague our sympa thies In this bereavement which has fallen upon them.

F. Bun. THBKE MEN OX OXE. A Brutal AsMaltea Mr. Small. Vrom lb, Coulllullob., Among the Incidents of Christmas ■af ternoon was a very serious assault on Mr. Sam. W. Small, of the OjnaWwion. The elrvumstoncee of the affair, as they can beat be gathered a re as follows: Christmas morning, friends went to Mr. Small and told him that Tom Thrash and some men with him had threatened to whip him on sight for saying that he be lieved Charles W. Wells stole soma cotton Juet after the war. Mr. Small hoard ti-j same report several time, dur ing the day. In the afternoon he went to Chief Thomae with the Intention of swear ing out a peaoe warrant against the per sons who had threatened him. Chief Thomas said he though! It hardly neces sary. Mr. Small asked for a pistol at the atatlon-houee, with which to defend him self in case of assault. He failed to pro cure a weapon there and at one or two other place, at which he applied. Just before 4 o'clock as ha was coming up Ala bama street he saw Joe Pate standing near Domino's saloon on Whitehall street. He went up to Pate and told him of what he had heard, of threats In which Pate was concerned. Pate sakl: "Mr. Small, l‘m not afraid of you." Mr. Small said: “I don't wish you to ba afraid of me, but I have never done any thing to hurt you." Pale replied: "Well, I have promised to see Tom Trash out of this matter, and I moan to do It.” Mr. Small then went down to Hslnx A Borirele's store, and Pate went Into Dom- Inl’s saloon. BMh after Smail entered the store,Tom Thraeh, whois a brother-in law of Wells, also came In, accompanied by Pate and William German. When Thraah entered he said he was looking for the man who aald he believed Charlie Wells stole some ootton, applying very opprobrious and profane language to the author of the said remark. Small started out ot the store when Thrash walked up to him and repeated hla threat In a still bold er manner, and asked Small If ba made the remark aa to Wells. Small replied that he did, and that be did believe Welle stole the ootton Thereupon, Thrash said: ' Well, you believe a d—d He; take that." He struck Small a terrible blow on the top ot the head with a heavy stick. The blow stunned him, but as stxm aa be recovered he made for Thrash, when Gorman caught him by the coal. Thraah again delivered a crushing blow with his stick, cracking It with the force ot the blow. Small was then forced on the side walk by Thrash, Pate and Gorman, and Thrash again struck Mm and shivered the stick. Sauli was hurled off the sidewalk, and Thrash stamped and kicked him. Efforts of bystanders to Interfere were pi evented by Pate and Gor man. Mr. Small was taken up terribly bruised and bleeding. Doctor Crawford dressed hie wounds which were considered very serious st Sr»t Mr. Small was taken to bls room on Broad street where he is now doing very well under the treatment ot Dr. Wil lie F. Westmoreland. Thrash, Pate and Gorman were arrest ed soon after the affair occurred. The case was called at the Recorder's Court yesterday but was postponed until Sat urday on account of tbe absence ot mate rial witnesses. We have stated tbe facta as we could beat obtain them. They seem to sustain the opinion expressed by many who saw the whole affair, and that opin ion Is, that Mr. Smalt, afone and unarm ed, was the victim of a cowardly and brutal assault, In wMch three mea had participated. FKBSBNAL. Mr. Eugene Cranberry, the late prorprl etor ot the Hamilton Jewnaal, has moved to the city. We welcome Mr. Granberry to Ma new home, and trust that he will find It both pleasant and profitable. Mr. J. L. Dennis, ot the Hamilton Jbur hol. paid us a pleasant visit yesterday evening He reports a very quiet Xmas in Harris county. H. F. Mather. Esq., tbe young gentle man that furnished the Tiuxk with these splendid European letters last summer and fall, Is again among his many friends In tbe South. We trust that Mr Mather will find It convenient to make Columbus his future home, as there Is always room for such wide awake and clever young gentlemen. Mr. W. 8. Webetar. of Macon. Is spend ing the holidays with hie parents in this city, his old home. In the event ot the election ot J. M. Patrick to the office of Tax Receiver of Muscogee county, It wiH be seen that Mr. J.

The unusually ooid weather had a de preewing tendency, it Heenw. at least from the drear appearance of the streets yester day, on the people generally. Everything bore a deseitexl, wintry and chilly appear ance, anti but few exchange! the cozy fire for the bleak and cutting wind. Trade wae apparently ata stand still and few country people were in town. Several funerals added stiJi more gloom to the drear appearance, and until even ing nothing of a livelier nature stirred. Night brought, however, a decided change from grave to gay. Tbe young people tripped it meriiy to the sweetest music, and the Masses had a grand Instal lation and collation.
