There is a bit of news which we wish to break very cautiously to the people of Laurens county. It is this There will as certainly be a new company working a boat on the Oconee within the next few months as that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. There was a considerable full of sleet during Sunday night which turned into a snow-fall Monday morning and continued several hours. The earth, however, was in au unfavorable condition for retain ing the snow and it soon melted or mingled with the mud and water, except in dryer and firmer localities. Still it gave the * boys” a field day in enow-balling, and a ball of snow several feet in diameter was rolled up on the square where, if the weather is favorable, it will remain ninny days. We learn that Tillery thinks Mr, W. B. Jones is in some way respon sible for our remarks last week touching his revolutionary conduct on the day of the municipal election. We will just say for the benefit of all concerned that said publication was wholly and entirely without Mr. Jones’s knowledge or consent. It was but incidentally that, we heard Mr. Jones recite the interview be tween himself and Sambo Kyler, and we took the. liberty to weave it into what wo hud to say. But bless vour many hogs swimming trying to get on logs. A drifting tree tore awuy the Dublin ferry chain Sunday mo.’iiing, breaking it loose at both cutis and carrying it off. The water stood two feet above the eaves of the house in which the Jones Bros, have been storing their spirits of turpentino But luckily they had none in it when the freshet came. The water was so dee]i at Mr. Suggs’.back door that he rowed np to the house and stepped from the boat ou the floor, and yet his family never left it. At the ferryman’s gate the water was several inches deep and he could not pass out without wading. The Augusta railroad bridge across the Ocmulgee'at Macon was washed away last Friday night.

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 living. Preachers can do no better 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 pay for yer Bulldozing n Voter. Old Undo Moses of Galveston, was not noticed near the polls on election day, consequently a colored striker waasent to hunt him. up.
