W tilttakar is the negro who was tried in the Superior Court for the murderof Will iam Diakeford, the trial occupying more than three duvs. Toe jurv, alter being out about an hour," returned a verdict of voluntary manslaughter. Whittaker did not betray the least sign of nervousness, and took bis sentence coolly, never uttering a word after the sentence had been pronounced. It is more than probable that tho case will be carried to the Supreme Court.

As.the special train bearing the vete rans of the Grand Army of the Republic was waiting on tho sidetrack at Kings ton Thursday, a large crowd of people, both white and colored, gathered round the cars to see their Northern friends.

They gave delicacies from their lunch baskets to sev eral ol their colored brethren. The ne groes laughed in disgust at the kiss the “white ladv gave Chap Elliott.” Wrigbtavllle Reoorder: Mr. Canny Meadows, of this county, tells us of a re markably prolific cow owned by James Price, of Price’s bridge, this county. The cow in question dropped bsr first cal' (or calves) at the age of four years, on which occasion she brought triplets! During the seoond, or two years thereafter, she bad threes aguln! And at the end of the next two years she became the mother of two calves! And, wonderful to relate, at tho end ot another two years she again became the mother of two more calves! Thus giving birth to ten calves in the re markable short spaoe of six years. Mr. Meadows also states that the extensive progeny of this muchly distinguished bo vine flourished and reached the state ol maturity, each respectively being lair specimens as “ohlps of the old block.” Madison Madisonian: Mr. Henry Fitz patrick, nead clerk in tbe Augusta Cash store, has set tbe young men of Madison ail example worthy ot following in mak ing legitimate investments of bis savings. He bas recently built, with money saved from bis salary, a lour-room tenement house. He says that be does not intend using tbe money ke gets from the rent of these rooms eSoept In the way ol similar investment, and will oontmue to pursue his past custom of reserving a certain amount every montu of his salary, Should ne keep this up for ten years our enter, prising young friend will have a snug for tune, in all nrobnbllity. We commend his example to tbe clerks of the city who spend so much ot their salaries unprnfil uhly. Young men, think of this matter seriously, and, beginning to-day, save $5. $l9 or $l5 every mouth, as the case may warrant, and it will better fit you lor life in all its phases. A negro arrived at Clayton Wednesday and ipforined Sheriff Godfrey that Gils Scruggs, who killed his brother Miles on Sunday, was concealed in a dense thioket on the side of tbe mountain, and that if the Sheriff would furnish a sufficient number of men he would pilot them to tbe place ot concealment.

The W ar Department is much exercised over the prospective disposition of Gero nimo and his band of wily Apaches. Gen. M lies bus not communicated the terms of the Apache chtel’s surrender, but it is reasonable to suppose that it precludes any trial by civil or military authority. The only course yet proposed that is looked upon with favor is the confinement of the prisoners in Fort Jefferson, at Key IVqst, Fla. This appears to be a species of retributive justice, as the whole band would doubtless be carried away in a short time by languishing confinement. Here is how they raise funds to build churches in Palatka, so says the Herald: Breaking ot the success of the exercises iii tlie opera bouse tor the benefit of the Methodist church on Thursday night re minds us that the ladies of this com munity have done wonders in behalf of the good cause. But for the ladies of the Methodist church, and in fact the other churches assisting them, the tine new church, of which all feel a commendable pride, would never have been built. Several years ago they commenced by fairs, suppers and other entertainments to raise luuds to build anew church.

A strong wind suddenly began to blow. Au old dead pine on i he edge of the road succumbed to the lierceness of the wind and fell be tween lbs horse and tbe wagon. Taking fright, the animals broke loose, tearing harness and shaft to pieces and almost demolishing the wagon. The driver came out a little mote frightened than hurt. How be ever landed on his teet he does not know. It was a miraculous escape. At Jacksonville the jury of inquest io impure into tbe killing on Tuesday of "olomou Williams by his brother John, eight miles southwest of tbe city, ren dered a verdiot Wednesday morning to Justice Marcv. acting Coroner, to the effect tbat the killing was not pistitiablc and in self defense, as alleged by the murderer when be came to tne city and surrendered himself ibat night. Justice Marey held John in a bond of $3OO until a preliminary examination can l>** hau. The want of witnesses will probubly de lay this examination for several days, us t hey all live at a loug distance and In a dark corner ot the county, and It seems to tie the idea of some colored people to keep mum as long as possible about affairs coucci mug tbeir own race. Not at the State’s Expense. A genllemun in the Executive office at i Atlanta ou Monday inquired ior Adjt. Gen. Stephens. Capt. Harrison informed him that Col. Stephens was with Gov. McDaniel in Philadelphia. “Uroph,” said the taxpayer, “1 wish Gov. McDaniel would appoint me his aid to travel around the country at the State’s expense.” ••At the State’s expense?” ”Vej, of course.” “Well, he’s not tiaveling nt the State’s expense. Neither is tbe Governor or any ol the party. The Georgia Legislature doesn’t provide for any such contingent expenses.” •■On tree passes then, i presume.” “That is a matter which does not come before tbe review ot this deportment, and the taxpayers are not Interested in it, but they can rent assured that the Governor has not run bis hum! into tbe tr usury and invited his friends on a pleasure ex cursion at the expense of the State.” I’omiil Oliiiiges.

Waddell, of Oedartown, pluolted from one of his trees last week a matured pear, of the LeConte or sand va riety, that weighed sixteen ounces. Americas Republican: The spring rains played havoc with cotton,but they brought grass In abundance, hence a great deal of hay has been made. Every day tor the past week, numerous wagons loaded with bay have been on tbe streets. Our farmers are all well pleased with tbeir corn production, but they say cotton will not make half a crop. The spring rains hurt, now the drouih is upsetting tbeir prospects for a late crop. I’otatoes, peas and sugar cane have also received a olack eye and will be cut off to a short crop. Odartown Advertiser: The first bale, or rathor bales, ot new cotton of this year’s crop marketed in Cedartown came in last Saturday. As to where the credit of the actual flrst bale belongs we will not. venture, but give the circumstances regarding the first two bales as given to us. According to Maj. J. O. Waddell, John Green carried tn'.Ylr. Peek’s gin on Friday evening 500 pounds of seed cotton. < >n Saturday morning G. W, Swoff >rd, on Waddell’s place, carried a bale ot seed cotton. Green afterwards carried in the balance of his bale. Gtcen’s bale was ginned first, which Maj. \V. claims was not the custom, as the gin is never started on less than a bale, and therefore his bale was actually the first hale. Mr. Freeman, in charge of the gin, admits the above facts, hut says Green asked him if he reached the gin on the following morning with the balance of his hale before the gin was started, it be would gin it, to which he gave an af firmative answer, and that Maj. Waddell agreed when the question of right ol pri ority in the matter came up to leave th matter to swoflord. who agreed that (ireen’s should come first. As wo desire to do injustice to no one, we give the above statement. Beta bales were mar keted the same day. Green's about an hour ahead, smd brought while Maj.
