Disease is no respecter of persons, and there is something about an effectual remedy for it that appeals to common humanity characterized by the highest intellect, or simplest intelligence, and which possesses an interest alike for rich and poor. Such is Coussens’ Honey of Tar, a well tried remedy for cough, colds, and diseases of throat and lungs. —The Y. M. C.

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. —ln the language of the poet, “let it rain.” Terms, $1 A Year In Advance. 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. •* • - - ■■!! ■ -I' .111..
