PEA VY, Proprietor APRIL 7, 1885? In the humbkst business, as well ain the very highest aims of life, success pTsctictmy depends on ths exercise of the moral quite as much as on that of the intellectual faculties. Know'edg by itself is only a small power. It is character that converts it into a great power. Character is to knowledge just what interest is to money. It is the animating force that renders it productive. Miss Bettie Daiel, of Franklin, Heard county, was born blind, and for nineteen years did not nee. She went to Atlanta six weeks ago for treatment, and her sight has been restored to such aa extent that she Can walk about the city and see the houses, horses, carriages, people, etc. A good joke is told on a Sheriff of a South Georgia county, who went out in the country to “level” on a mule, but being told that ths mule’s great age exempted him from a levy, Sheriff retraced steps to town, a distance of nine miles, to examingthe code in reference there to. He fousd that a mule’s age was no bar to a levy and went back and found that the mule was non esi, the owner having availed him self of the interim in running the mule oft. • John Barker, of Rockdale district. Franklin county, happened to a serious accident last Thursday night which will disable him for work for several monlbs. Di ling the day some miscreant set fire to a piece of woods that bad not been burnt for a num ber cf years, Ths leaves being dry and the day windy, the fire spread rapidly, catching io bis fence and deeroying about 2,500 rails. After dark, seeing a large stump burning which be thought might do some damage to another fence-row which through great labor he had rescued thus far from the raging the, he went to cut it down. The stump had almost burned in twain at the top, and aa he began cutting it fell off. Before he could g'*t out of the way he was struck bj the telling piece of limber and knocked to the ground with a broken thigh. Ho had indeed a mirac ulous escape.

Y„ March 26. A very peculiar case of suspended animation and abs'iaence fmm food for a period of twenty-eight days in Marion township, this county, is ex citing great interest. A little daugh ter of Joseph Renner was taken sud denly ill with colic, and the pain was so severe that she went into spasms. The father went after a doctor, but the child was to all appearances dead before the physician arrived. Th« heart had cea-ed to beat, the pu’se was extinct and respiration had ceased. It was noticed, however, in two or three hours after the child died that the skin did not take on that peculiar pallor noticeable on most dead people. The child looked as though she was sleeping, though the ductor pronounced her dead. The body was kept for two days, and dur ing that time the skin retained a nat ural color, but no other signs < f vitality weie manifested. Th-n the friends commenced discussing the propriety of burying her. While the discussion was going on some one went into the room where tbeebild was lying, and looking at’ the corpse for a moment put bis fingers on the pulse and was surprised to teel a feeble flutterin . The pu’se beat slowly, t ut it indiunled that life was there, and meat s were xt one need to fan tbcvltal spark in o The hr. was again called and re storatives applied.

V. Jordan living some five or ; six miles ea-t of here, had dev'.l- I oped a case of hydrophobia. The • subject was the general theme of i conversation throughout the duy on ' the sheets and much sympathy was expressed for Mr. Jordan, who is one of our best known and most substantial farmers. From various sour es we have » been able to glean the following facts • in reference to the case: The child . was a little boy about seven years of ’ age and was bitten in a number of I I places by a little terrier dog, that , showed signs of madness, s me I seventy da; s ago, but it was not i until last Friday night that the child > itself showed any signs of hydrop- • hobia. During that night it called ’ for water, but when water was pres- euted, it showed an u ter aversion 1 to it, going into convulsions. It con- I tinned after this to have convulsions ( death, Monday night, about 1 o’- . deck. ( | Before it died, Dr. Tidwell of s Fairburn, who claims to have a ' madstone was sent for. He came in on Monday evening’s train and ’ w nt ent immediatly to Mr. Jordan’s, i arriving there about 7 o’clock; The ’ stone was immediaily applied and i 1 we understand adhered to the I I wounded surface. But if there was i any virtue in it, it was too late lor its application, as the child was un i doubtedly dying at the tinv, as it lived but a few hours after this.— . Carroll County Times. I Bristol. Conn., March 27. i Thirty-one years ago Edward Deegan son of Pattick Deegan, of this place, : disappeared while in Boston, and all inquiries brought no tidings. Eightytars later, while Mr. Deegan [ hoeing back ot the rollingmill, a young man came into the field and the old man asked where he came ; from. The supposed stranger said : j’’Father, don’t you know tre?” The | lad had been iu the regu’ar armv, I and saved from his earnings SSOO, which he wished his father to accept, but the latter declined. The son again disappeared 23 years ago, and from that time no traces were obtained until last week, and the f ilher, now 74 years ol , had considered him dead. A letter, dated Philadelphia, March 10, was received by a priest to-day. It read : ”1 wish to inquire if Patrick Deegan, his' wife and son, are buried in Bristol. I am their son, and if they are dead—as I have long supposed them—and there are no gravestones, I w >uld like to place one over each grave, such as my means will permit.” A U tter was at once sent to the son in Philadelphia, in forming him that his father and brother still survive, anxiously await ing to welcome him home.
