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.

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. The Athens Watchman fays the cit izens are subscribing liberally to the Northeastern railroad. Cql, Joseph -S. Anderson, died at liis residence in Covington, after a protracted illness, in the 79th year of 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. -2... , Why are bell# the most obedient of inanimate tilings? Because they make a noise when they, are tolled (toW.) The Main papers report an enor mour ice ci*op there, and that the best offers the holders have yet received is seventy-five cents a ton fbr 6,000 tons. 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. Discourage Them.
