The Little Canary Bird.
E .-hu’B sweet little canary that sang so-lovely and
cheerfully at her window is dead. Its matin laj-.s
and vespertine enrols mo hushed, and its little- gold
en wings have ceased to flutter. Its wiry cAge still
-wing; from the nail by the window, but the little
chorister that made it cheerful with songs has fallen
to the jaws of the destroyer. He is gone, and
Emma weeps. Could tears bring him badk, we
would mingle ours with hers, and cry profusely, bus
tears have no such power.
A malicious cat killed it. \ou “rnink-eved var
mint,” why couldn’t you catch a “mice” and let the
little canary bird alone ? If we had the whole feline
generation under our control in a butcher shop we
would split the whole race into “giblets” and make
banjo and fiddle strings of them. We have had an
incurable horror for them ever since we were told
that they ■'X'-ratch dead folk* in the face.”
Fire Again.
On Saturday evening last, a tire broke out at the
•Steam Mill in this place. By the exertions of those
who was soon collected on the spot, it was soon ar
rested, and the sued which covered the boilers was
die only part destroyed. This is the third fire which
has taken place in our \ ilingo within the space of
three weeks.
Printers’ Proverbs.
Ihe following proverbs areas full of beauty and
good sense as if they proceeded from the wise King
of Israel. V\ e heartily endorse them, and recom
mend our readers to peruse and pmet Ire them :
Never inquire thou of the editor the news, for be
hold it is his duty at the appointed time to give it
unto thee for two cents.
W hen thou dost write for his paper, never sav un
to him “what thinkest thou of my piece,” for it may
be that the truth would offend thee.
It is not fit that thou shouldst ask him who is the
author of an article, for his duty rcquires him to
keep such things to himself.
When thou dost enter into his office, take need
unto thyself that thou dost not look at what may be
lying open, for that is not meet in the sight of good
breeding. Neither examine thou the proof-sheet,
for it is not ready to meet thine eves, that thou mav
cst understand it.
Our Book Table.
Courtship and Marriage, or the Joys and Sorrows
of American Life—By Mrs. Caroline Lee Hentz.
A neat and elegantly bound copy of this work has
been laid on our table, by the publisher, T. Fi. Pe
terson, Philadelphia, ft is a compilation of her Nov
elettes, some of which as the young Physician and
the Mob-cap have added ns much to her celebrity as
any production of her pen. Mrs. Hentz cannot be
too highly appreciated by the American people.
The pure morality of her sentiments, her chaste but
brilliant imagination render her works safe to be read
by all classes, and should give her .a permanent place
as a standard author of our country.
Christine, or Woman's Trials and. Triumphs —By
Laura J. Curtis. DeYTitt X Davenport, N’ew York,
Publishers.
fhis is a plain Tale of Domestic Life, told in a
very agreeable style, which cannot fail to interest
its readers, it contains no intricate, improbable
plot to beget a morbid curiosity, but the characters
are all drawn from nature, and retain throughout
their original. It is highly creditable to the young
‘'Authoress, and we predict for her no ordinary suc
cess in this field of literary labor. It is gotten up in
very neat binding, for if 1 a copy.
Ga,-den-lay for the South. —This is a most excel
lent manual of Gardening, by Mr. VT. N. White, of
Athens, Ga. It contains enough science to show
the author to be well qualified for tin; task, and vet
abounds in that common sense and plain, minute de
scription of all the operations of Gardening, for the
>\ant of which many works on this subject are worse
than useless. Having been prepared by one who
has long studied the subject at the South, it com
mends itselfto those who have repeatedly failed in
attempting to follow works written for a more north
ern latitude. With a proper use of this manual, no
one need complain of a poor Vegetable or Fruit (tar
den.
W e arc glad to learn that the author proposes to
bring out, at an early day, another volume on Flow

er-w e are pleased to learn that the Society re- i
cently organized at Greenesboro, is popular and in a
prosperous condition. A friend furnishes ns with
the following account of its last debate:
The Ciceronian Society of Greenesboro had a pub
lic discussion on Friday'night, of the following ques
tion:
“Was the execution of Mary, Queen of Scots, jus
tifiable ?
The ladies graced the occasion with such a galaxy j
of beauty and elegance as few “cities” can afford,!
and contributed not a little,to stimulate the orators j
to attain great and still greater heights of eloquence, j
Besides the applause beaten on the floor with “tiny j
feet,” they presented to a favorite speaker a couple j
of bouquets. Previous to the discussion, however, as ;
L should have noticed before, a most beautiful and |
instructive critique on the character of Shylock, in J
the Merchant of Venice, was read by Mr. Fuller.— j
This paper showed extensive knowledge of the sub- :
ject treated and did infinite credit to the author.

Hon. Alfred Iverson for valuable- public documents.

The Gold Harvest.
At the time of the first discovery of gold at Sutter’s
mill, in California, the amount of gold in the United
States was estimated at sßf>,oo<>,ooo. Since that time
$850,000,000 have been shipped from California to
the Atlantic States, and $38,000,000 from other pla
ces. Os that amount $220,000,000 have been sent
abroad, so that California has nearly trebled the a
mount of gold in the Atlantic States, in less than
seven years! There cannot at this time be much, if
any, short of $250,000,000 of gold in the States cast
of the Rocky Mountains. In addition to this supply
forwarded to the I.astern States, we have built up
for ourselves a gold currency of not less than $50,-
000,000, including the uncoined dust and bullion in
the State, fn this estimate no calculation is made
for the gold sent direct from California to foreign
ports; or taken in the pockets and under the especial
charge of passengers in the steamers. Were these
amounts to he counted, it would add at least $50,-
000,000 to the grand total of the yield of the Califor

Desperate Affray.
A most exciting and desperate affray occurred
yesterday afternoon in Broad street, which was well
nigh terminating fatally. As we have ascertained
the facts from an eye witness, E. P. Hawes and
Augustus Cartiedge, were promenading the street—
the former, revolver in hand defying the authorities
to arrest their boisterous and riotous conduct. Offi
cer Ford made the attempt, but they treated him
with the utmost indifference. In a few moments,
however, Marshall Christian arrived at the scene,
and dismounting advanced towards Hawes, when 11.
presented his pistol and threatened to shoot if he ap
proached nearer. Cartiedge immediately rushed
upon and struck Christian, when Christian, in a well
directed blow with his stick, felled him to the earth
almost lifeless, lie then advanced upon Hawes,
who again presentedhis pistol and threatened to fire.
Christian, nothing daunted, advanced and drew his
own pistol, when Hawes fired—followed instantly
by a fire from Christian—neither bail taking effect.
The ball from ll.’s pistol perforated the side of Chris
tian’s coat, near the hip—Christian then rushed
upon him, and with his pistol, knocked him down,
wrested his revolver from him, and arrested him,
when both the worthies were gathered up and hur
ried off* to jail.— Chron, & Sent.

A GOOD SPECULATION!
1 OFFER FOR SALE, the valuable TRACT
of LAND, lying on Beaver-dam Creek, in Han
cock county, readily recognized as having recently
: belonged to R. Burnley, Esq. It contains 1050 acres,
: more or less, about ICO cleared, the rest in the woods,
and I hazzard nothing in saying, that some of tins
land is as good as any to be found in the county.
There are about 200 acres oak and hickory land, well
adapted to the growth of corn and cotton.
But to any one wishing to engage in the Liunbor
business tins place offers rare inducements. There

a-untl 11 . inducement to any ono
A good framed Houso
with several Negro Cabins stand nearby, for the ae
i commodation of a miller and hands,
j The market for lumber is good, the mill is two
I mi i es from Powclton, ten from Sparta, and six from
Mayfield. Public roads pass by the the mill to each
of these places, which bring them in direct commu
nication. Tho route surveyed for the Rail Road from
Warren ton and Milledgeville is but a short distance
from the line of the land, and if it is built, will make
the tract almost invaluable. I wish to sell the whole
in a body, but if desired, will sell in parcels to suit
purchasers. Several elligible building sites, with
good Springs, make a division quite practicable.
As I am too far removed to make these lands avail
able, my residence being in the Southern portion of
the State, I am determined to sell, and I promise any
one in want of such a place, that by applyiug to me
early, at Perry, Ga., they shall have a bargain, eith
er for their own use or for speculation.
