SHOT IN THE SIKIllBEi:-
I Negro Boy Shot Through Mistake in
(‘olunibh Count y.
Augusta Chronicle : Last Friday
night in Columbia county, near
Jenkins’ Station, a young negro
named Jim Avery was shot and
narrowly escaped with his life,
having been mistaken for Jim
Cummings, who killed Mr. Charlie
Dennis some time ago. Avery hud
travelled under the mime of
Mullen, 4 an alias also used by
Cummings. His appearance being
a good deal like the real murder
er’s, and his roving dispos lion,
together with other facts leading
to the opinion that he was none
other than the muchly-wanted
Cummings, caused Mr. Turner C
Thomas to determine upon his
arrest. Mr Thomas was sp< cially
deputized mid, in company with
his brother, set out for the place.
They found Avery in a house near
the station and alter talking with
him a few minutes, attempted to
put on the handcuffs. The boy
was much frightened at this pro
cedure and made a dash tor liberty.
As he went out the door Mr.
Thomas fired at him with a gun
loaded with bird shot, the charge,
howevi r, luckily gl mcing from his
right shoulder and causing a pain
ful but not at all serious wound.
He was pursued but escaped in the
darkness and was not seen again
until yesterday, when Mr. Thomas,
learning that lie was near Rae’s
creek, above the city, arrested
him. He soon discovered, how
ever, that he had the wrong man.
Avery was brought to the city for
medi id treatment, but it was
found that he was comparatively
uninjured, his hurts not being of
sufficient severity to discommode
him in the least. From the wound
ed boy we learn that he was shot
at again Friday night, after (scap
ing from Mr. Thomas. He was
fleeing through the cornfield of an
old darkey and, being seen by the !
owner, was fired at twice, but!
without receiving injury. He I
seemed pleased that the law hud
no charge against him ami left for
home again in the best of spirits.
Mr. Thomas, too, is happy, realiz
ing the luck that attended him in
shooting, for had Avery been
killed or injured to any dangerous
degree he would have been held
responsible in the eyes of the law.
We understand that the authori
ties are on the trail of Cummings,
and are expecting to capture hirn
at almost any moment. A reward
of several hundred dollars has been
offered by the Governor, which
increases the earnestness of the
pursuers considerably.

THE LANDRiSES-
- I Strange Translormatloa of the Lanl
sciipe
Hi n esville, Ga., October 28.
Constitution : SeVCtal gentlemen
recently had occasion to visit the
seacoast of Liberty county. They
were much surprised to find that
the old landmarks al mg the shores
of the islands had changed. The
land las risen out ofthewa’er
much higher than formerly,
makmg the water recede, and
changing the appearance of these
localities. Many ot the neighbors
tiro of the same opinion, anil
anxiously await an explanation
from some scientist. They are
not Hine that they will not bo
obliged to find new fishing grounds
if this thing goes on, and fish
being an indispensable article with
them, causes unpleasant forebod
ings on the subject.
THE MYSTERIOUS CAVE-
A Singular Opening in the Earth Ogle
thorpe County.
Banner \\ ate mt in : Yesterday
Mr. Anderson was in the city, and
gave an accurate account of the
cave mentioned several days ago.
Mr. Anderson savs it is on the
farm of Mr. Jim Thompson. The
cave, or whatever it is, is in a field,
with a branch on either side. The
land has been cleared and worn
out three times, but the gen
erations who tilled the field and
plowed over this sink Ind no idea
that such a cave was beneath them.
It was first discovered by Mr.
Thompson himself, his mule’s him]
feet breaking through the cru-t.
To all appearances the earth was
as solid and compact there as
anywhere else. Mr. Andersen
suys he has several limes visited
this cave. Mr. Thompson first
tried to fill it, up by tin owing fence
rails and rubbish down the mouth,
but they went far out of sight. As
the mouth kept enlarging, the
owner finally built a pen around
the hole to keep his slock from
falling in. Mr. Anderson says the
pit is quite dark, but by stooping
for some time over the abyss and
peering into its depth water can
bo seen at its bottom, while the
rush of an underground stream is
distinctly heard. The cave is shap
ed something Ike a cistern. No
one ns yet has attempted to explore
this singular hole. It is evidently
a natural formation, but whether
it is the mouth of a cavern or
simply a sunken place in the earth
has not as yet been revealed.
A pear has been exhibited in
Dalilonga which weighs a pound
and three quarters and measures
fourteen inches around.
A man named Batik died in Cov
ington Sunday, tilling a drunkards
grave. He drunk from a quart to
a half gallon of whisky every day,
and it is said after his* death tba
whisky literally inn from bia
mouth, presenting a most revolts
iug spectacle.
