Saturday, January 13, 1877. HEWS SUMMARY. A Pennsylvania woman placed five eggs in her bosom, where incubation took place,and five hardy chickens were hatched. The woman and the birds are doing well.— Boston Bos!. For the first time in the history of journalism at the Capitol the press is represented by a colored man. He fur nishes news to a Philadelphia newspa per, and to one printed at Lexington, Ky. On a pretty] girl’s saying to Leigh Hunt, “I am very sad, you see,” he re° pliod, “Oh, cn; you belong to the other Jewish sect. You are very fair, I see.” A Roman chariot race between two young women, Misses Virginia Mason and Jennie Duplan,took place on Christ mas-day at Golden Gate Park, San Francisco. A man in Louisiana who lost his arm by the premature explosion of a cannon offers SSO reward for the recovery of a diamond sleeve-button attached to the missing shir Ecu ff. Moody found a girl in Chicago, ten years old and ordinarily intelligent,who had never heard the name of Christ ex cept in profanity, and who had no idea who He was. Dr. Winslow says that Spiritualism has a constituency of SIO,OOO in the lu nat’c asylums of the United States. The rogues’ gallery in New York con tains at the present time 1,429 photo graphs, which cost the city $7,115. A joint resolution is being debated in the Virginia Legislature which proposes the election of the Supreme Court by the people, Judges to remain during good behavior. Tragedies liko this occur in golden California : “John G. Dawes left two weeks ago with his flock of 2,000 sheep for the north. While crossing the al kali lands near Tulare Lake he camped for the night, and in tho morning when he awoke he saw all his sheep lying down but ono,and’on examination found that there was but that one. They had all quietly died in the night—a loss of more than $5,000. New York city eats 70,000,000 of eggs per year, and several millions are con sumed in morning drinks . Not far from Saltzburg, Austria, is a great mountain which consists of noth ing but beautiful marble. 9he stone masons cutout blocks and columns of it take them to the great city, and build palaces of them, while the chips are used to make playing marbles foi the young folks. A young man in San Francisco put out one of his eyes while taking off a shirt, a spiral stud doing the mischief. Moral : Never wear a shirt. Real cannibals have been discovered by missionaries on the islands of New Britain and New Ireland, off the north' east coast of New Guinea. These na tives are nude savages of the Oriental negro type, who live more like beasts than human beings. The Rev. George Brown, a Wc&leyan missionary, reports that ho saw women roasting the leg and thigh of a man who had boen killed in a fight. In another hut smoke-dried human flesh was hanging. In another he counted thirty-five jaw bones of men and women. Cannibalism seemed to be common throughout the islands, not as religious rite, but as an ordinary means of subsistence. The natives assured the missionary that the accounts heretofore published of a race of tailed human be* ings were true, and were certain that these strange creatures were not mon keys. The cargo of King Arthur, which cleared from New Haven on Friday of last week for Turkey, consisted of 10,- 080,000 cartridges, 10,000,000 bullets, 10,001,600 shells, 40.6-00 guns, 40,000 scabbards, 50,000.000 gun wads,and 48 packages of miscellaneous merchandise, all valued at $1,342 000. Another large steamship will scon leave the same port with a similar cargo worth over $2,000. SOO. A few years ago the State debt of Pennsylvania amounted to upward of $45,000,000. The existing funded debt is only $22,864,021, having boen re* duced more than one-half. Anew suit of clothes worn by Sena tor Williams of Indiana is made of blue jeans from a mill in that State,and was presented to him by a committee of wo man. The Massachusetts Supreme Court has affirmed the decision that a Boston Jew' must pay a fine for keeping his store on Sunday, although he closed it on Saturday, his own Sabbath. There has been such deep catting in*, to the salaries of county officials in Tex as by Gov. Hubbard’s administration that they are resigning en masse. TO OUR FUIE.\D. We have heretofore announced our purpose to make additional outlays to improve our paper in different ways at the opening of the present year, and though our issue of last week did not come up to our expectation, owing to the departure of a hand we had em ployed, and our inability to get another of sufficient experience readily, we believe our readers will generally agree with us that this issue presents quite a respectable appearance, and that its contents are perhaps an improvement on our past issues. Our new heading certainly has its attractions, and our columns, while not extraordinary in re gard to the quantity they contain, still they show a fair exhibit of interesting reading, well classified. We know there are those who do not care a fi O for the success of any public enterprise calculated to aid in the development and growth of our country, yet wc feel tnere are plenty of good men who are willing to conti ibute their share to the material paogress of our excellent sec*, tion, and to these we appeal for assist ance. It is our aim to labor for the good of our people, and if they help us in so doing they only help themselves. We know of none who would dare ven ture to assert that a newspaper is not a benefit to any community. Knowing this all should help to sustain it. As we have before stated it is impossible for us tu publish a good paper uuless our people endeavor to sustain us. We would not ask our merchants for their advertisements if we believed it would be to them an outlay without a return. All acknowledge the benefits, but many have not the business pluck to invest in this way. For the benefit of our business men we have reduced our ad vertising schedule, and we trust they will avail themselves of our advantage ous rates. Our friends throughout the country can greatly increase our sub scription list by forming clubs in the different neighborhoods, and to such as are willing to interest themselves in this way we offer inducement.®. For a club of five we will give an extra copy to the getter-up, and make a reduction in our terms sufficient to render the task of getting the names an easy one. We shall look for aid from our friends and shall endeavor by extraordinary ef fort to merit the interest that may be manifested. We have received from Mr. Thomas P. Janes, State Commissioner of Ag riculture, the Hand Book of Georgia, a volume of about 250 pages, prepared under his direction in accordance with a requisition in the law creating the department. The work contains a de-* the geological formations of the Estate, as developed in the geo~ logical surveys, and thows the adapta bility of the soil to different produce tions, with analysis, etc. The work is to furnish Georgians with cor rect knowledge of the State’s resources and institutions, and to furnish irnmi. grants with such information as they might desire. The merits of the work as well as the objects it is intended to accomplish it| of extreme value. Accompanying the work is a geological map of the State. The General Assembly met Wednes day and organized. Hon. R. E. Lester was elected President of the Senate and Hon. A. O. Bacon Speaker of the House. In a few days the sanctimonious body will be in working order and the nuai her of unimportant bills which will flood the records will be a wonder to the peo ple, and the code will be butchered be yond recognition, by even the best in formed. Beyond the election of a Uni ted States Senator there is no very im portant work before the present b.dy. Stonewall Jackson, at sixteen, was a constable of the county of Lewis, Vir ginia, with his uncle, Cummings Jack son, as his security. The first execu tion that came into his hands was against a widow living some twelve miles from the court house. Jackson summoned a man named Charlie Post to accompany him and to assist him in driving away the cattle which he pro posed to levy upon. When he arrived there he fouud that the old woman had but one cow, the principal meai9 of her support. Sc soon as he learned this he turned to his companion and said : “Charlie, I will not Pvy this execu tion upon this poor woman’s cow ; as poor as I am I would rather work night and day and pay the debt myself.” Up on that he left there and stated the facts to his uncle, his security on his official bond. He listened to his narrative and ‘ said: “Tom, I see you were never born ' to be a Constable, my boy; resign your office at once and I will pay the execu tion.” MllMpatflkner, who tells the above story, srp also : ‘ I remember upon ono occsftron I recieved a telegram of the extreme illness of a daughter iu Appomattox county, and communica tion a message that she wished to make some request of me in peison before she died. I took the telegram to General Jackson and asked for leave o*' ab sence for a few days. He read it, and I observed a tear trickling down his cheek, and after pausing fir a moment he said : “Colonel, I shall not refuse your request, for there is nothing now requiring your presence absolutely at head-quarters > but I will announce to uu th 3 rule that governs my conduct When 1 entered the army I gave my self up to my country, and however I might deplore my seperation from those I love, and especially under the circum stances mentioned in this telegram, yet I would not feel myself at liberty to leave my post here. I have left all that arc dear to me in the hands of my coun try and of my Gcd.” Common sense tells us, the way to cure Lung diseases is by direct appli cation. This new principal. Dr. J. H.

In small doses of one pill a day, they stimulate the digestive organs and promote vigorous health. Ayer’s Pills have been known for more than a quarter of a century, and have obtained a world-wide reputation for their virtues. They correct diseased action in the several assimilative organs of the body, and are so composed that obstruc tions within their range can rarely with stand or evade them. Not only do they cure the every-dAy complaints of every body, but also formidable and dangerous diseases that have baffled the best of human skill. While they produce power ful effects, they are, at the same time, the safest and best physic for children. By their aperient action they gripe much less than the common purgatives, and never give pain when the bowels are not inflamed. They reach the vital fountains of the blood, and strengthen the system by freeing it from the elements of weakness. Adapted to all ages and conditions in all climates, containing neither calomel nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may be taken with safety by anybody. Their sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh, and makes them pleasant to take; while being purely vegetable, no harm can arise from their use in any quantity. PREPARED BY Dr. J. C.
