The Albany Schools were in at tendance, and were hospitably treated. The Smithville Schools were alro in at tendance. It was announced by Judge Ansley that there would he no regular programme, but that all should endeavor to pass the day as agreeably ns. possible. Pretty aoou pleasant groupcs were scattered all over the Dell, and the chfldron entered into all the mewy sports ol childhood with youthful alacrity. The occasion was also enlivened by the presence of tho Americus band, whose sweet music added three fold to the pleasure of the occasion. BgL.

The Fatal Sanrr—It Causes tub Death of Six Persons.—From a physi cian practicing in Kentucky, we obtain the following details of a singularly tragic story: “A short time ago a white man living jar Hopkinsville had an attack of small pox. He was not very neat in his habits or else he had poor noising, as he did not change his shirt daring his entire illness. When convalescent, ho gave the garment to a negro woman, with the injunction to bmyitdeep in the ground, for fear of communicating the dreadful disease to others. But aunty was of a utilitarian turn, and thought it a sin to throw away so good a shirt while there was many backs to cover. So she subjected it to a careless sort of washing; and presented it to her husband, who appeared at church next Sunday in all the gloiy of a ‘biled shirt* The next day he wr* seized with small-pox, and died soon after—and so did five others, who successfully came in- The largest assortment of DOMESTICS, 1 the dty; brown goods ol all Linde; checks nd plaids, sea island, etc., At Low Prices, At J.
