Retiring by a Novel^l'rocess,
The young’men of this place tell how
one of their number, who is rather
bashful, retired from a visit to his
swecthcarFoneYvening last week, and
from the looks that bespread his coun
tenance when the story is told in his
presence its authenticity is hardly to be
questioned. The parlor is on the sec
uud floor and is readied by a flight cf
stairs—to ascend which one is obliged
to pass directlv by the door to. the sit
ting room, where the young gentlemen
boarders sit and chat away the after
supper hours. Apprised of the young
man’s presence in tho parlor, they made
it up to sit him out and ascertain by the
timeofhisdeparture if he meant business
in a matrimonial^way. But the young
man was thinking of their presence be
low, and as their eye-lids drooped for
want of sleep he resolved to make his
egress unknown to them, and escape
their teasing deliberately laid up for
him. There is a high verandah which
overhangs the street, and bowing good*
Dight to the young lady, out on to this
the young man cautiously j tiptoed.—
Glancing underneath to see if any one
was watching his movements he crawled
over the banister. In a little while a
noise sounding like sand paper rubbed
over a chair post came to the ears of
the party below, and filing cue by one
out on the lower verandah, theyTeasted
their gaze on a young man midway the
post extending to the verandah above,
his descent being so rapid as to cause
the bottom part of hi3 pants to accu
mulate kneeward3, and the treacherous
post rapidly wearing the bark away
from his naked shins. He lodged at
last in the midst of his friends below,
and was a special object of sympathy,
more than one volunteering to pick the
splinters from his calves. But till yet
ho refuses to be comforted.

STABBED TO THE HEART.
A Jealous Woman Deliberately
Takes, the Life of Another
Woman —An Evening Party
Turned into a Sickening Scene
of Murder. •
Mr. J. L. Bradley, of Pickens coun
ty, c.uue to our office Wednesday, to
have some bills printed, offering a re
ward for the arrest of Catharine South
ern, and Irom him we learned the lead
ing facts concerning a tragedy which
occurred last Saturday night, and for
which a parallel is rarely furnished iu
the criminal catalogue which is con**
stantly swelling in the onward tread of
time. In a respectable neighborhood,
about ten miles north of the town of
Jasper, in Pickens county, live the
families of 3lr. Hambric and Mr. Fow
ler. Catharine Southern is the daugh
ter of 3lr. Hambric, aud lust
Spring was married to 3lr. Robert
Southern. But for the fact perhaps,
that the monster jealousy had poisoned
their short marriage experience by
finding a hiding place in the wife’3
bosom, the dread catastrophe which has
forever stained her life with a sister’s
blood would not have saddened the
homes which now bear the shame and
despondency which follow the criminal
and the victim. 3lr. Southern had
been accused by his wife of bestowing
his affections too freely upon 31rs. Cow
art, a daughter of Mr. Fowler, late
ly divorced from her husband, and
this kindled the flames that grew
into the frenzy which caused his wife
to take the fatal steps she did. Though
the people of the neighborhood be
lieved the acts of 31 r. Southern, to
wards 31 rs. Cowart did not justify his
wife’s unpleasant apprehensions, she
nevertheless, seemed to harbor a burn
ing hatred towards her imaginary rival
in her husband’s affections, which
grew, it appears, into a premeditated
intention to take her life—from the
fact that she had requested her to be
present at a gathering of the young
people at her father’s home on Satur
day night, and before the event ex>
pressed her intention to kill her. 31rs.
Cowart attended the entertainment, as
requested, and as the music began,
partners stationed themselves around
tho room for a cotillion, and as Mr*.
Cowart took liei place the pent up fury
of the jealous woman, like some fercr
clous beast, awaiting it3 prey, seemed
to grow into a maddened frenzy, and
requesting her husband’s pocket-knife,
on pretense of wishing to trim a tooth
brush, confronted her victim ou the
floor, and with a few furious words
plunged the keen blade successively in*
to her body, until one of six deadly
stabs entered tho heart and brought
31 r3. Cowart to the fffor limp
and lifeless without a word or a
groau. Horrified beyond measure at
the spectacle of the dreadful drama,
the crowd, which mainly consisted of
young people, for considerable time
took no steps to prevent the escape of
the woman who had finished her mor-*
tal work, and iu the exhaustion from
her murderous struggle, she went into
another part of the house and threw
herself on a bed, there to meditate
upon her rashness, and either ignorant
of their authority or fearing to make
an arrest, some of the oldest of the
males present went three miles away
to a Justice of the Peace, and a party,
returned to arrest the murderess, but
accompanied by her husband—who had
no doubt accepted the inevitable
with a view to aid her in escape—she
had fled none knew where. The affair
threw the neighboihood into a fever of
excitement and the most and! igent
search has been p r osecuted, but to no
avail at last accounts. It is believed
they have reached the railroad, and
that the criminal will fall into Pe
hands of justice ere long. Both the
families of 31 rs. Cowart and 3lrs.
Southern are of good standing in
Pickens county, and this affair has fal
len a saddening blow upon ther house
holds.
[Comm u v i ca t ed. ]
To tlie Slemorj’ of Hrs. IMiih
WyaAt.
Died, at her residence, near Calhoun,
Qa., on the 31st day of January, 1876,
.Mrs. Edith Wyatt, wife of Rev. L. D.
Wyatt, in the GOth year of her age.
The deceased was born in East Ten
nessee on the 3d of November, 1816-
She was converted to Christianity
when she was 18 years of age. She
lived an acceptable member of the 31.
E. Church, South, and an exemplary
Christian for nearly 42 years, during all
of which time she never had a charge
aeaiost her church, oor her church
O.
against her. She was married Jau. G.
1835, to L. D. Wyatt, a Methodist
minister of the Gospel, with whom she
lived in perfect peace and harmony, un
til the day of her death. She was the
mother of eight sons and two daugh
ters, two sons and one daughter dying
while young.
Traveling ministers always met a
hospitable reception at her home, and
indeed, she never seemed happier than
when the hostess of the people of Gcd.
A model wife, an agreeable companion.,
! a lonu mother, and a true Friend tefihe*
friendless, her death: falls heavily on
1 tho hearts cf many, and casts a gloom
around the family [hearthstone which
time cannot dissipate.
In tho death of Mrs. Wyatt, we see
verified dig jSqjipture passage, ‘‘Whom
the Lord loveth, He chasteoeth for
surely site, with her ennobling traits of
character and many womanly virtues,
w:.s one of the elect of God. Her j
loss is not only felt by her relatives, hut, !
is mourned by numbers who were j
bound to her by the chords of Christian
fellowship and love.
Let us, relatives' and friends, be
comforted by the thought that our loss
is her eternal gain ; and may we all
strive to meet her in that Heavenly
land, whither she hath surely gone.

GOV. BROWN’S FARM.
A Casual Ramble in the Coosa*
wattee^Bottoms.
The farm lies about eight miles above
Calhoun on the Ooosawattee river. You
approach the premises by a small by
road, and emergihg Viom the woods, as
it were, your eyes turn the right of
the immense opeu space’ suddenly
bursting upon the vision aud they rest
upon a comfortable looking, but un
pretentious frame dwelling, built after
the old pattern of houses. This is
the former homestead ot 31 1. Joseph
Wilson, new deceased, and from whose
estate the Governor purchased the
origiual landed interest, we believe,[ in
18G9, and lias since added to it 160
acres of rich cleared bottom, which he
bought of 3lr. J ajars ilarjap; paying
him the sum of nine thousand dollars',
and he now owns perhaps the most de
sirable farm in Georgia. The build
ings on the p’ace are the same’jused by
31 r. Wilson, and the spacious barn
loft at all times of the year filled to
their full capacity attest the productive
ness of the lands, and good manage
ment has brought good results. The
farm is under the supervision cf Capt.
Wm. Y. Findley, who was the mana
ger of the place prior to the Governors
purchase. The farm is and 'nanted j
and there are in all some eight or ten
renters, vho furnish their own imple
ments. stock, provisions, &c., for a cer
tain portion of the crop. There is
over 500 acres of cleared land on the
place, and vet v little of phfe uruarldj—
. ? • •* - ■ /
The river divides Rhe TAnn, in its
course making an immense curve, in
which reposes the main bu ! k of the
cultivated land. It is one of the finest
bodies we have ever seen. You view
it about one and a half miles square,
not broken by a ditch or cfoss fence,
aud the tall timbers which majesti
cally skirt the western side close in a
panorama only lacking nature’s green
coating to render it complete in gran
deur. It is high enough not to be en
dangered by overflows, and is of black
sandy soil, well adapted to ccrik yield
ing of good seasons almost surely sixty
bushels to the acre. There wore only
seven bales of cotton produced on the
whole farm last year, and besides
wheat, clover, oats, &c., there were
housed in the fall 473 wagon loads of j
corn. The stock of the farm is not of [
improved bloods exclusively, though
the common breeds have very email fa
vor iu the Governor’s farming ideas.—
His cattle are mostly Durham and
Devon, the latter being the favorites as
milkers. In swine the Be; kshires take
the lead, and the common breeds com
pose most of his selection of sheep. The
mule trade proving unsuccessful, hogs
and sheep are most impottant in the
stock line, and of the latter he has a
very desirable flotk of somefhtfcg near
a hundred head. The pasture lands
alone yielding sustenance the principal
part of the year, they are kept at less j
cost and pay better for the trouble and ■
expense than almost any other class of
stock. In til*:* WocdlanY'eLi bti fouifd
excellent tifnbers cf*uft lrin<rs—pines
alone enough to supply a saw mill for
several ycais, white monster white oaks
and waki£t are in -the bottoms in
numerable.
Capt. Findley gave us some facts
about his profitable experience with
fruit trees. An orchard was planted
out on the richest spot in the river
bottoms. One of the trees the seventh
year bore fifteen husjie , of’ pid
worth at fifty cents a Irtish**),
j This ought to establish 'tne theory that
: trees planted out on poor hill sides to
decay in three years after bearing i3
time and labor expended in fblly.
Capt Findley conducts the business
of the farm in a thorough, economical
! and systematic manner, tint we .doubt if
1 there is another man whose actions and
I ’deas would be as acceptable to Gov.
* Brown. Thoroughly familiar with the
| farm, the Governor’s wonts, and the
duties devolvent upon him. he bus a
