Those amendments have been agreed to by
nearly all the bankers in the Dominion.
Rose said he was not able TO enter into
a statement Of his intention, but would be
prepared after the budget WAS disposed of
TO discuss this matter. To which the bank

A CoLORED servant boy, who has been
in the employ for many years of one of
our citizens, labors under very Peeu-
liar hallucination. 1t seems that some
years ago he received a severe injury,
and since that time has fancied that he
is two persons. This strange fancy, how
ever, does not at all impair his usefulu
ness; on the contrary, it renders him
most efficient For instance, his master
will say, George, get the wine" George
Immediately addresses his imaginary
servant, whom he calls John, saying
"John, you rascal, bring the wine; hurry
up, sir! hurry upl don't be slowl"-and
rushing off, will bring the wine, fatter-
ing himself the while that he has John
under excellent control. Sometimes,
however, he falls out with John, and has
angry disputes, which end not unfre-
fuently by his running into corner and
shaking himself, exclaiming: "NOw, sir,
behave yourself and keep quietl" Tie is
constantly conVersing with his other self,
and never seems lonely or desponding.-

TERRIFIC WIND !-DEsTRUCTIoN OF
THE METHODIST CHURCH IN EAST MA
CoN.-AbOut ten O'Clock Saturday night
one of the hardest blowing winds we
have heard visited this vicinity. 1t
shook the houses and blew things around
generally. ..'.t .-
In East Macon the Methodists were
erecting new house Of worship, and had,
by hard labor, succeeded in raising the
necessary funds to cover it in. The
work had progressed TO point where
the congregation felt sure they should
soon be allowed to occupy it. Many of
the congregation were poor, and had
given literally for this house. One side
and the end were weather boarded, and
the roof was nearly completed. UnGor-
tunately one end was left open, and the
wind blowing furiOusly on the unfinished
part, the whole structure was blown
down. The frame was not only blown
down, but much of the lumber was
broken to pieces, and several of the brick
pillars of the foundation destroyed. In
deed, the wreck is complete. ......
Thus, the hopes Of our friends in East
Macon are dashed to the ground, or at
any rate the prospect of house of wOr-
ship indefinitely postponed.-Mdcon

are working well and quietly on The farms,

have been badly worsted by the militia in
many respects, a. they all now See and
say. They are fast getting their eyes open
and are turning away from the Radical

shot them and maltreated them, and then
ask them to help TO pay for their services
