The Colville;.last ill at the railroad
unable to bring down the guano and
other freights :’'fi)jr this point. It
sent down a flat load a few days ago,
but the flat.sunk and eight tons of

has been abandoned for the present.
The sunk- guano was nearly all fished
out and-sold for half price.
Perhaps few of our farmers are
aware that the same planting of rye
can be used us a pasture for a num
ber of years. One sowing has been
used in Massachusetts seven years in
succession by grazing sheep upon it
and never letting it go up to seed.
Four years has also been known, the
rye^iroducing a crop of grain the
fifth year.
Col. Ramsay tells us lie has just

stead was reduced to ashes on the

dcntly from the kitchen. The insu-
raitce policy on the property had ex
pired only a few days previously.
We have N frequently had occasion
to call the attention of our readers to
the superior merits of the Savannah
Weekly News. Mr. Estill, the pub
lisher, is still adding to. its attractions
and enlarging the sphere of its use
fulness, until now, both in literary
merit and as a complete family news
paper, it stands in the front rank
with the best weekly publications in
the United States and is in truth an
honor to Southern journalism.
TlmeM. Not Hard iu Georgia.
Mr. Frank Daniel, who left this
county before the war and removed
to Louisiana, returned a week ago
thoroughly convinced of the folly of
“going west.” He says people in
Georgia know nothing about hard
times. If it could be known how
much better off we are than the peo
ple of the state he has just left, com
plaints about ltard times would cease.
Mr. Daniel left here a bachelor; he
returns a widower with five little
boys.
A Silk Hat Bet.
A friendly dispute arose at the
Dublin Drug store last Saturday
afternoon as to whether the Hawk-
insvillc Dispatch or the Post first
protested against the action of the
guano dealers in raising the price of
fertilizers and urged the farmers to
resist it. A silk hat was put up and
an umpire appointed to investigate
and decide the matter. Our files
show that on the 11th of December
last we “went for” these self-consti
tuted commercial autocrats with
tomahawk and scalping knife. What
says the Dispatch f
Smoke This.
The other day wo heard a gentle
man say he had been taking a certain
paper for four years always renewing
before his time expired. But that
recently when his time expired it was
inconvenient to convey the money to
the editor in time and the paper
stopped. He says he would not have
objected to this if all the other sub
scribers had been treated likewise, as
the editor said was his rule. But on
learning that one of his neighbors
was treated with more indulgence,
he made up his mind nover to take
the paper any more. The Post will
try to keep its skirts clear on that
score, and no reasonable man will be
offended.
=====
THE FOX. ..
The steamer Fox, Capt- Holmes,
reached the landing at this point last.
Tuesdny afternoon with 302 sacks of
guano from below. The boat had
been about a month working its way
from Darien to Dubjin, tho trouble
being logs, low water and tho unfa
vorable construction of the boat for
speed. It was little else than a
deep flat with an engine and
deck and cabin added. The captain
who has had a great deal of experi
ence on this river in the pa$t, thinks
the* river much less navigable thun
even a few years ago. In fact ho
says tho Oconee will never be safe for
boats until the government appropri
ates $50,000 or $100,000 to clear out
the logs, and that he never will risk
his boat on it again. He returned on
Wednesday morning.
Death of a Worthy Main
We regret to learn of the death of
Mr. J. M. McNoal which occurred ou
theT3tli inst. at his home at McRito,
Telfair county. He had gone out as
usual after supper to his store, and
remaining out uncommonly late his
wife sent their little son to the store
to know the cause. The little fellow
found tho house opon and the lights
burning, but saw nothing of his
father. He called a neighboring
gentleman to assist in the search, and
uguin looking through the store they
walked out ou the Side of the piazza
where they found him lying dead on
the floor, having probably fallen life
less of heart. disease from his scat
new by. Mr. McNeal is a nativp of
this county where he lived till a few
years ago in the enjoyment of the
confidence and esteem of all good
men. A number of years ago his
father dropped dead from a chair in
this place from the same disease.
The Forty-sixth Congress assem
bled in extra session on the 18£h inst.
agreeably to the call of Mr. Ilaycs.
Upon the organization of the Senate
Mr. Ilaycs was infarmed tho body
was ready to receive any communicu
tion he might be pleased to make,
and soon after it adjourned to await
tho organization of the House. At
noon tho House was called to order
by tho Clerk, Mr. Adams, who stated
that Mr. Hull, of Florida, having
received a certificate of ejection from
the Governor as member from the
Second district of that State, had
been placed on the roll of the House.
After explanations in regard to. the
members from Iowa, tho roll was
called, showing two hundred and
eighty-five members present, and
only two absentees, Messrs. O’Reilly
and James, of New York. On mo
tion of Mr. Wood (NT. Y.) the House
proceeded to the election for Speak
er. The result showed 144 votes for
Randall, and just as Conger, of
Michigan, raised the point that this
was not a majority of all the members
elect, Mr. O’Reilly entered, and amid
much applause, cast his vote for
Randall. The oath of office was then
administered to Mr. Randall, who
made a brief speech on taking the
chair, expressing thanks for tho con
fidence and approval shown him.
Among those who took the modified
oath was Gen. Joseph E. Johnston,
of Virginia. All the other officers
nominated in the Democratic caucus
were then elected. Some discussion
ensued over the right of Mr. Hull,
of Florida, to take his seat, and the
matter was left ovei until the 19th.
After a drawing for seats the House
adjourned.
