Dead.
One of the paupers died very sud
denly and unexpectedly one night
last week. It. was a colored boy,
Sawney McLendon, who was so de
formed from the sufferings of rheu
matism that he could travel only on
his hands anil knees. lie had been
complaining of shortness of breath,
aud the watchful superintendent,
Mr. Sheppard, had been sitting with
him till past midnight. The boy
told .Mr. S. to-go home and go to
bed, that he never felt better.—-Birt-
Mr. S., still a little uncafv, went to
his house and sent two of his young
sons to sit the rest of the night with
Sawney. But the boys cumc running
aek immediately and told their
father that. Sawney was dead!
THE FRESHET,
Great Destruction to Property.
The present freshet in the Oconee
the. biggest decidedly since the
Harrison, and fails but little below
the high water mark registered by
that latter-day flood. The river had
been high for a long time, but on
last Saturday it began to bode dan
ger, and during Saturday night it
completely swamped everythingalong
the banks and in the neighboring
fields.
On Sunday morning the Jones
Bros, found eight hundred bairels of
their rosin under water, and, in all
probability swept away—a clear loss
of 61500. They also lost heavily in
staves and other material. The
watet reaching its culminating point
Monday afternnoon, stood two or
three feet deep around the masonry
supporting thfsMll. If this masonry
should be ruined by the water, as is
probable, it will be another serious
IOS8.
Hightower’s mill has also been
greatly injured by the freshet. It
was flooded Sunday morning, the
water running like a mill race all
through the house. Monday evening
the boilers were almost completely
submerged, the log carriage and
everything else of a light nature hud
floated out, and all the lumber—
lumber track aud all—had drifted
far awuy through the field aud
lodged against the trees on the lower
side. The smoke stuck was careen
ing in toward the river, a sign that
the brick and stone work supporting
the boilers 1 ad yielded to the action
of the water.
Several agents liavo lost some gu
ano, but none heavily.
The destruction of stock in the
swamps has been fearful. One gen
tleman toils ns ho went out Sunday
morning in a bateau to look after
his stock. lie found about forty
head standing knee deep in water on
a little hill two miles from the near
est dry ground. He was s) discour
aged he loft for home without at
tempting to save them. He saw
long run, to steal for subsistence.
These people ought to go to the farms
where their presence is needed, and
whore they can make un honorable

work than to preach country to these
people.—Athens Blade.
A Piteous Spectacle.
Yesterday die roaring Oomulgcc,
under the impetus of-the late tre
mendous ram-fall, lud rushed over
its bunks and inundated a consider
able portion of East Macon adjacent,
to tho river. The streets were con
verted" into deep canals, iip'iiiid clown
"Which boats were-coiistinifly plying,
removing from the submerged houses
the inhabitants that occupied them.
On the railroad many homeless wo
men mid children had been landed,
and stood shivering in the keen
wind which was fiercely blowing.
It was a sight well .Calculated to
awaken the pity and sympathies of
the large crowd which had congre
gated li-at tiie bridge to view the
swollen flood. Driven from .their
dwellings in tlie midst of this inclem
ent weather by the angry tide, which
swept through every chamber, with
nothing to cat and unprovided with
shelter, surely the condition of these
unfortunates is worthy the attention
and care of our city fathers. It may
be days before it will be safe for
thorn to moceupy their saturated
houses, even after the waters have
retired. In the meantime, for the
honor of our city and the sake of
humanity* we trust that the humblest
suffer will be well aud generously
cared for.—Maccni Telegraph

He pulled and asked,

‘Yea, take anudder pull right now.
