1. Any person vi ho takes a paper regular-
Vy&om the post-office—whether directed
to his name or another, or whether he has
(subscribed or not —is responsible for the
pay,
2. l£avy r person orders his paper discon
tinued, lie must pay all arrearages, or the
publisher ma} r continuo to send it until pay
ment is riiade, and collect the whole amount,
xrpctbef it is taken from the office or not.
■ iT'The courts have decided that refusing
to tSke'newspapers and periodicals from the
post-office, or removing and leaving them
is i-kima facie evidence of in
tentional fraud.
Enitable.— On Sunday last, we dined
with wr of our estimable Greene county
friends, who gave us, with many other good
t.hqjgs with which frugal country homes
abound, green peas and Irish potatoes—early
rose—and as large as lien eggs. Our friend,
•or some one for him, has done well in the
gitftTetiing line.
Ktelc.—We liavc received the second
communication from our interesting and
esteemed correspondent Nick, and though
lie sometimes talks of ghosts and hobgoblins,
wc assure our readers that this-is not “old
Nick 1 * himself, hut only a namesake, who
can, on some occasions, handle a red hot
poker about as well as any of ’em. We are
mhch‘obliged to him foT the fine batch of
subscribers he sends.

The Kimball House.—The stranger
on visiting Atlanta, cannot fail to observe
that vast architectural pile, the 11.1. Kim
l*ni}iloiise, which towers in commanding
magnificence above its, by no means, mean
surroundings.
This establishment is one of the best, if
not tire very best, in the Southern States, in
fact it is said tobe liilly equal to the far fum
ed St. Nicholas, of N. Y., and after partak
ing of its elegant and sumptuous fare and
making a tour through its numerous and
splendid, apartments, \\ c think that any one
will be satisfied that the statement is cor
rect. This lxquse, tinder its presentable and
successful management, not only supplies
what was a pressing necessity to Atlanta,
lmt becomes in many respects its chief orna
ments.
The Gold mines near Gainesville are
said -to be yielding handsomely.
Col. Hulbert has addressed tlie Co
lumbus people on narrow gauge rail
ways.
The Augusta Constitutionalist learns
that petroleum has been discovered in
Wilkes county.

Ids age, on Thursday, 20th inst.
On the slh of May will be laid the
Corner Stone of the Monument erect
ed tO the memory of the gallant dead,
by the Ladies’ Memorial Association
of Athens.
The vicinity of Athens, says the
Banner, was visited on the 20th iust.,
about daylight, by a severe storm of
wi % d and rain, attended by severe
lightning. Trees were dismantled of
branches, and tender vegetation
very much demoralized. Chimney
tops were blown down in the upper
part of the city.
A preliminary trial of Dr. Modally,
Paul McWhorter, A. H. Wynn atnl
Hubbard Morris, of Douglass county,
charged with Ku-Kluxing Columbus
Peter and his wife, Orry Peter, negroes,
in -Paulding county. These negroes
swore to the identity of the parties.—
KvbrJ - one of the accused proved an
alibi by unimpeachable proof. Never
was there a clearer case of false accus
ation. Tho accused were released by
Judge Wright.
How to Win in 1872.
The Philadelphia Evening Herald
devotes an article to the Presidential
campaign of 1872, from which we ex
tract the following pertinent para
graph:
It is customary, we are aware, fbr
politicians to declare during every
cainp&igu that it in more momentous
than any that proceed it. The people
understand this. They are not to be
deceived by it any longer. We do not,
however, hesitate to say that the com
ing State campaign, so tar at least as
the welfare ot the Democratic party
and of the country is concerned, is
perhaps one ot the most important in
our political history. Success at the
fall elections guarantee success in the
Presidential contest In 1872. This
is as clearly established to-day as
though the election of a Democrat
ic President were an accomplished
fact.
Now, what arc the contingencies
upon which this success depends?—
They are twofold: First—The un
broken maintenance of Democratic
principles. Adherence to the cardi
nal doctrines of the party is absolute
ly imperative. Secoud-*Good men,
and good men only, must be present
ed as candidates. Let no others be
thought of. To nominate even for
minor officers any of the old spavined
hacks of the party—the bummers and
camp-followers, who have been its
shame and disgrace—is to hopelessly
fritter away tho golden opportunity
that now offers—to dasli the cup of
success from the lips, and destroy all
the bright anticipations of to-day.—
We repeat, let us have the best men
as candidates. If there is a choice
between a good man and a belter, let
the choice fall upon the better. Per
sonal preferences, prejudice and am
bitions, must all be swallowed up in
one uuscl/ish, disinterested effort to
wrest the government from unworthy
hands and give power to men who
will wield it for the general good only.
Singular Fulfillment of a Dream.
An old negro woman, one of the an
cient regime, living in a family on up
per Church street, and who lives in a
very old kitchen adjoining the resi
dence, dreamed for several nights in
succession, a few weeks ago of finding
concealed treasure about the house.—
She paid no attention to the dreams,
and did not speak of them to any one.
During the present week the dream
was repeated and more vividly than
before. On Thursday afternoon she
was sitting by the fire smoking, when
the dream occurred to her mind, and
she determined to search for the treas
urc. Taking up several loose bricks
in tire hearth, site commenced digging
in the earth beneath and in a few mo
ments she was rewarded by finding a
very much decayed woodou box.
On taking it up she found that it
contained a quantity of paper money,
supposed to be some of the old conti
nental currency, a gold watch,the works
of which had been totally destroyed by
rust, and a number of gold and silver
coins of English and Spanish money.
The paper was almost destroyed, the
writing and printing being illegible,
but the coins were in an excellent
state of preservation. This is given
to us as a fact, and if true, is one of
the most singular events of which we
have over written. We leave to spir
itualist and believers in supernatural
agencies to solve the connection be
tween the dreams ami the finding of
the treasure. As their can be no liv
ing claimant for the wateli and money
the latter of which is said to be worth
several hundred dollars, the old woman
will remain as the legatee of the one
who earthed his treasure.—Ex.
Tt is a proof of an econjomica’. dis
position if a lacfy indulges in tight
hieing to prevent waist-fullness.

An Astlum for Inebriates. —A res
olution passed the Georgia Medical
Association, at its late meeting, to es
tablish an asylum for’inebriates. It
was suggested that perhaps- tire State
House at Milledgcvilie might be grant
ed for th-e purpose. Tho move is a
good one. Drs, J. Holmes, K, J. Kirk
sccy, and G. F. Cooper were appointed
a committee on the subject.
