papers are full of the details ola hnrrld crime
committed early on Wednesday morning, in
the house Of Mr. Joseph Davis near the line
Of Bullock and Bryan counties, and about
twenty-eight miles from Savannah. The victim
was Mrs Davis, young woman OF about TWEEN
ty-fve or twenty-six years of age, who va:
found sitting up in bed. about clock in the
. morning, with her throat cut, and who died ii
few minutes thereafter Her husband Wa:
away from home at the time, and Mrs Davi:
had been sleeping with two of her step children
She had been out Of bed, and had gone to {
cupboard, on the door Of W .ich the little boy
pants continuing pocket knife were hanging
Soon after returning to bed, she screamed out
Il am bleeding to death, y and soon after died
The pocket knife was afterwards found in I
tub Of water on the floor. 1t Is possible thai
she may have killed herself by accident, or sont
night prowler may have got into the house an'
murdered her. but with the very meagre ties
timony at hand it is impossible to form any
idea OF the truth.

Engineers are now in consultation as to the
best point for the construction Of the proposed
tunnel through the Sierra Nevada mountains
by the Central Pacific Railroad Company in
conuexion with other parties The length OF
the tunnel will be about FIVE miles, and its
cost about 81, 10000 1t will run the entire
distance through solid granite, and will require
very little if any timberiug. This work.. ii
completed, will shorten the distance to the Pa
cifc, and obyiate much pulling up steep noun
taius, but it will render the overland journey
less interesting then it now is.

The DROUGHT IN THE VALLEY It's almost
fearful to witness the effects of the severe
drought through which We are passing. For
two months we have had but little rain-now
and then shower that scarcely laid the dust
and the consequence is, maize, fruit and all
kinds of vegetation arc shriveling and growing
more sicky- looking every day. Water ponds
are dry, also some streams and wells, and the
Shenandoah river is said to be very low. Some
farmers will not make barrel Of corn to the
acre, others will not realize fourth of crop
"Oh fora good rain! isthe cry on every hand, as
the torrid temperature Of the atmosphere
sweeps over the heated and thirsty earth
