CALHOUN TIMES D. It. FREEMAN, Editor. Laws Eclating to Newspaper Subscrip tions and Arrearages. 1. Subscribers trho Jo not give express notice to the contrary, are considered wishing to con tinue their subscription. 2. If subscribers order the discontinuance of their periodicals,, the publishers may continue to send them until all arrearages are paid. 3. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take their periodicals from the office to which they are di rected, tkey are held responsible until they have settled their bills and ordered them discontin ued. 4. If subscribers move to other places without notifying publishers, and the papers are sen/ to the former direction, they are held responsi ble. 6. The Courts have decided that “ refusing to take periodicals from the office, or removing and leaving them uncalled fur, is prima facie evidence of intentional fraud." 6. Any person who receives a newspaper and makes use of it whether he has ordered it or not, is held in law to be a subscriber. I. If subscribers pay in advance, they are bound to give notice to the publisher, at the end of their time , if they do not wish to continue tak ing it; otherwise the publisher is authorized to send it on, and the subscribers will be respon sible until an express notice, with payment of all arrearages, is sent to the publisher, •WEDNESDAY, MAY 5, 1875. Peterson’s Magazine for Jane is al ready upon our table. It is a bright and sparkling number and will be read with interest by the ladies. Peterson’s is a treasure in every household. Said a colored Georgia preacher? “Dar’s robbin’ and stealin’ all around. Bar’s de Beecher business, de Wood hull business, Sumner is dead, torna does come whoopin’ around, dc Freed man’s bank has busted, and it ’pears as if de end was nigh, mighty cl us at hand.” Tiie Atlanta News underwent a tem porary suspension last week, but pleased to find it again in harness last Sunday, and we hope it will still move on itß smoothly. Though we never could see how Atlanta could sup port three as well conducted papers as the Herald, News and Constitution, we would certainly not be without either of them if wo could help it. Another fearful storm last Satur day passed over about the same track of that which caused so much destruc tion a month or so since. The damage seems to lie in Harris, Newton, Henry and Talbot counties. There was a fear ful demolition of trees, fences, houses, stock, and many persons are reported killed and wounded. It seems that the people of Middle Georgia are cursed with tornadoes. AV VALUABLE PAMPHLET. We are thankful for a copy of the proceedings of the Georgia State Agri-. cultural Society at its meeting in Thorn asville last February sent us by the wor thy and efficient Secretary, Mr. Mal colm Johnson. Everything it contains i of actual interest to the larmer, and we doubt if any of the proceedings of the former meetings since the society has existed, are equal in value to this. First is the address of the President, full of good points. The report of Dr. Pendleton from the experimental farm is an express feature worthy of a care ful examination, embracing as it docs, extensive information eu anating from one who has given years to a careful study of science as related to agriculture. Then we find the*pleasant poem of Col- J. A. Stewart —“Lessons for the Times” —chaste and aprropriate—the address of Prof. White \ and that of Prof. Le roy Brown upon the supposed influence of the moon upon vegetation—and be sides the address of Dr. W. L. Jones upon the value of the cotton plant as a fertilizer, we find a paper of great value from Mr. Luinsdeu, of Bibb upon hay making. All these constitute a pam phlet of much value to our farmers. STATE NEWS. There is a probability that the small pox will make its appearauce near Cave Spring again. A negro man living near Mr. Gregory broke out with the disease on Saturday night. Rome claims an old lady one hundred and one years old. A suggestion has been made, that the Georgia Pi ess Association, which convenes in Athens on the 19th inst., attend the Centennial Anniversary which comes off at Charlotte, N. C., on the 20th. Cherokee comes to the front. Mrs. Henry Kemp has a quilt with ten thou sand pieces in it. The State Baptist Convention will be held in Thomasvillo next year. The well known racer, “ Gen. Hood ” was sold at auction in Augusta on Tues day, to Mr. W. E. VV heelock for §l,- 800. Westward Movement of Corn.— A representative of a St. Louis commis sion house, recently returned from a trip into Southern lowa and Northern Missouri, informs the St. Louis Repub lican that all through these sections agents from Nebraska, Kansas, South west Missouri and New Mexico are ac tively buying up corn for shipment to those States, and Territories, and pay ing high prices on the spot —iu some instances fifty-seven cents per bush cl, and hauling to shipping points makes it sixty cents. They are absorb ing all that can be obtained, and he states that they will largely deplete the surplus stock in the sections named. . The Texas Frouticr.* 2.” Corpus Ciiristi, Texas, April 24. —A letter from Cariso, Texas, says Dr, Lovell, who <vas murdered by Mexicans ou the 19th, was surprised six times. They robbed the Post-office and attempted to break open the safe of the Custom House but failed. Dr. Lovell had many friends, and a feeling of re taliation for the brutal murder is exhib ited. . Couriers from all portions of this fron tier report large bands of armed .Mexi cans moving this way. Yesterday a par ty of fifteen Americans, who were en deavoring to ascertain the true state of affairs in the vicinity of Loparra Rancho, about fifty miles from here, were at tacked by forty Mexicans ; a short fight ensued ; one Mexican killed and one taken prisoner. The Americans lost none, but being out-numbered, were compelled to retreat, but immediately summoned aid from here. About fifty well armed Americans left here this evening and as many more will leave to morrow, to meet these raiders, who have forced the telegraph operator to leave Laparva, and have cut the line. On the 22J the line repairer from this place started out to repair the line, and was chased for three miles. They fired several times at him, but he escaped into the timber. The Mexican bandits seem determined to keep all telegraphic communication with Brownsville cut off. A deep sense of indignation is felt at these raids. The people of this portion of Texas are goaded to desperation, and they are determined these things soon cease. A New Compass. Anew compass has been invennted in France by M. Duchemin, the mag netic force of which he resides, not in a bar or needle, as in the ordinary in strument, but iu a fiat steel rmg, mag netized, with its poles at two opposite extremities of the same diameter.— This ring supported upon an aluminary traverse, pivoted on agate at its centre, has attached to it the ordinary compass card, and acts promptly and efficiently. The author claims for it the following advantages: (1) A magnetic power, double that of a needle whose length and diameter is that of the ring; (2) two neutral points instead of one, as in the needle; whence it happens that none of the magnetism escapes, and that strong sparks like those from the Holtz machine do not derange the poles; (3) a better and more prompt performance of the compass, the v eard seeming to float, as it were, iu a liquid ; (4) a large increase sensitiveness of the in strument; (5) the ability to regulate the magnetic intensity of the ring, and thus to compensate for local causes.— This is effected by means of a secoud magnetized steel ring, smaller than, and inside of the first, the position of which —and therefore its neutralizing action —may be easily adjusted. Under the direction of the Minister of the Marine, a trial trip of the compass was made on the steamboat Faon with very satisfac tory results. M. Duchemin now pro poses as an improvement, the use of a set of such rings, forming a spherical or spheroidal system of still greater magnetic power. — Cremation on a Grand Scale. More than four years ago a young Hindoo prince, ori'y .twenty-two, who ruled over one of the most extensive provinces in India, and was a strong al ly of Great Britain, stopping at one of the Florence hotels, on his way home from London to his native country, was taken sick and died after a short ill ness. He was attended by a numerous suite, who, to show 7 their grief for the loss of their beloved prince, astonished the Italians by their mysterious Orien tal funeral ceremonies. On the night of the Ist of December, 1870, on the very spot ’where his monument now stands, they prepared the pile upon which they performed the rite of burn ing the dead body of their ruler. They mixed with large quantities of wood immense compounds of camphor and odorous ointments, upon which robed in his splendid vestments, and surround ed by his most precious and personal ornaments, they laid the remains of the young rajah. The pile was lighted about midnight, and burned till near morning. The veneral Brahmin direct ed the ceremony, and, mingling his prayers with those of other faithful servants, made the groves resound with their lamentations. At break of day the ashes of the prince were collected into a golden vase, which now rests in the sacred temple of bis native India. In June of 1874 the English Govern ment erected a splendid monument to his memory on the spot where his body was burned. n g- Killed by a Fisn Bone. —Coroner Kessler held an inquest yesterday on the body of John McCormack, who died of asphyxia, from swallowing a fish bone while at supper at a friend’s house at No. 72 Tallman street, Brooklyn, on the 9th inst. McCormack came over to this city to the residence of his sister, No. 29 Jefferson street, and complained of a pain in his throat. He went to the dispensary, but the physician iu charge was unable to get the bone out. The deceased, when he attempted to swallow anything, suffered excruciating pain.— lie had eaten nothing for some days be fore his death. By advise of his phy sician he went to the Roosevelt Hospit al, where he was taken with a weakness as soon as be was placed upon a bed.— Deputy Coroner Marsh made a post mortem examination, and found death was due to asphyxia, from the pressure on the oesophagus, resulting from swal lowing and lodgement; of a tish bone. The jury rendered a verdict according ly.—A r . Y. Herald , 20th. - ►— “Fellow citizens, the blood of those heroes comes trickling down from gen eration to generation, fertilizing the soil of patriotism, and making the gar den of liberty look like a bed of fresh asparagus, which”—and until his wife jabbed her elbow in his back and told him to stop his jaw and go to sleep, he thought he was George W. Curtis deliv ering the centennial oration at Lexing ton. Tiie Georgia tjeloues. Lieutenant Calver, of the United States Signal Service, who has just re turned to Augusta from an extented and exhaustive examination of the terrible cyclones which passed over Georgia on the 20th of March, and gives an inter esting account of his explorations to the papers of that city. He traversed the track of the northern one from x\p pling Court House near the Savannah river, to Harris county and the Chatta hoochee, where it first entered this State. Its course from the Chattahoochee to Hancock county was a little eccentric, but from thence was perfectly straight. It would occasionally rise from the earth and leave an interval of three, five, ten and twenty miles, when it would again descend and recommence its work of demolition. Its velocity was seventy miles per hour, passing over the entire State in exactly three hours. The sec ond, or southern cyclone cf that day, was developed in the northern part of Muscogee county, and, traveling in a straight line due east, through Mill edgeville, crossed the Oconee and the Ogeechce, went through Glasscock, Jef ferson and Richmond counties, as stated so often at the time. This one was ex actly like the other, save that it did not travel quite so fast—its velocity being sixty miles per hour. Lieut. Calvert will continue his investigations from the Savannah river through South CaroFna to where the toruadoes ran iuto the At lantic, and afterwards make an elaborate report to the War Office, which will be published. In regard to the cyclones of 1804, he found many traces and heard many legends, but failed to fur ther establish their identity thart they were the same in furce and passed gen erally over the same territory. — Savann nah A 7 tics. A Remarkable Hickory. Thompson’s station, Tennessee, boasts a phenomenon which is attracting tho attention of the scientific and alarming the superstitious. About the first of lust August a green hickory tree on the fatrn of one William Harrison was struck by lightning, and though green began to burn. The local paper tells all about it. Mr. Harrison, wishing to save the wood of the tree, sent a negro to cut it down. The man went to work, when a live coal dropped on his coat and he de voted his attention to extinguishing fire in the garment. His efforts, tbe darkey says, were in vain. The coat was held under water but still burned until every vestige of the garment was consumed. Since that episode no one will go within a hundred y;>rds of the burning tree. — It is admitted in the neighborhood that a tree struck by lightning can always be put out by sweet milk, but they have not yet resorted to this plan, and the tree still burns and is expected to con tinue burning. Such is tho story of the hickory tree at Thompson’s station, Tennessee. A Curious Relic.—Thomas Whyte, of Petersburg. Ya., has presented to the Virginia State library a curious and val uable lithograph. It consists of a saudl portrait of a venerable negro,under which is, in fae simile , a note from Lafayette bearing the date of September 19, 1784, certifying that the bearer had done essential service as a spy in the British camp, and exhortiug citizens of the State to see that he was rewarded. scur "JONGSFORD’S - " Pure AND SILVER GLOSS STARCH, For the Laundry.

Printed from new type and illustrated with Several Engravings and Maps. The work originally published under the title of The New Amkiucan Cyclopedia was completed in 1863, since which time the wide circulation which it has attained in all parts of the United States, and the signal developments which have taken place in every branch of science, literature and art, have induced the editors and publishers to submit it to an exact and thorough revision, and to issue anew edition entitled The American Cyclopedia. Within the last ten years the progress of discovery in every department of knowl edge has made anew work of reference an imperative want. The movement of poluieal affairs has kept pace with the discoveries of science, and their fruitful application to the indus trial and useful arts and the convenience and refinement of social life. Great wars and consequently revolutions have occur red, involving national changes of peculiar moment. The civil war of our own coun try, which was at its height when the last volune of the old work, appeared, has hap pily been ended, and anew course of com mercial and industrial activity has been commenced. Large accessions to our geographical knowledge have been made by the indefati gable explorers of Africa. The great political revolutions of the last decade, with the natural result of the lapse of time, have brougnt into public view a multitude of new men, whose names are in every one’s mouth, and of whose lives ev* cry one is curious to know the particulars. Great battles have been fought and import ta**t sieges maintained, of which the details are as yet preserved only in the newspapers or in the transient publications of the day, but which ought now to take theii place in permanent and authentic history. In preparing the present edition for the press, it has accordingly been the aim of the editors to bring down the information to the latest possible dates, and to furnish an accurate account of the most recent dis coveries in science, of every fresh produc tion in literature, and of tiie newest inven tions in the practical arts, as well as to give a succinct and original record of the progress of political and historical events. The work has been begun after long and ea. eful preliminary labor, and with the most ample resources for carrying it on to a successful termination. None of the original stereotype plates have been used, but every page has been printed ou new type, forming iu fact anew Cyclopaedia, with the same plan and com pass as its predecessor, but with a far greater pecuniary expenditure, and with such improvements m its composition as have been suggested by longer experience and enlarged knowledge. The illustrations which are introduced for the first time in the present edition have been added not for the sake of pictorial ef fect, but to give greater lucidity and force to the explanations in the text. They em brace all branches of science ami of natu rai history, and depict the most famous and remarkable features of scenery, architect ure, and art, as well as the various process es of mechanics and manufactures. Al though intended for instruction rather than embellishment, no pains have been spared to insure their artistic excellence; tLe cost ol their execution is enormous, and it is believed they will find a welcome reception as an admirable feature of the Cyclopaedia, and worthy of its high character. This work is sold to Subscribers only, payable on delivery of each volume. It will be completed in sixteen large octavo volumes, each containing about 800 pages, fully illustrated with several thousand Wood Engravings, and with numerous coloied Li thographic Maps, Price and Style of Binding;.
