There is a little girl in Harris County,
Ga, not eleven years old, who exer-
ciSed recently an extraordinary degree
of GOODNESS and bravery. Her mother,
Mrs. Mealer, was on her way to church
near Goodnan's n Roads,. The daugh-
ter was riding en- dr1.iere with the
mother on wild horse. The horse
suddenly jumped, when the little girl
was thrown to the ground, and the foot
of the mother was caught in the stirrup.
The.horse threw his ears back wildly,
but before he sprang off the dau. hter
cody advanced, saw at once the situa-
tion, and freed her mother from hor-
rible death. ai-.:sa l.-.....tr

A New Gun.

A New WitAhs
There is in the course of construction
on the east side Of New York Bay, a
gun that will throw 800 five
ounce balls in one minute to distance
of about two miles. The shot may be
either red hot or cold. The gun is cir
cular, and appears like two dices of
heavy iron plate, about 4 feet in di4
ameter. Upon one side is a funnel to
convey the balls through to the proper
chamber, with cessation of firing dim
mutton ofspeed. The muzzle projects
upon the periphery of the circular ma
chine, and may be elevated or depressed
at the will of the gunner by the trun-
MON upon which it rotates. The gun
may be worked by steam power or
manual labor; if by the former, it will
throw from five ounce balls to eight
pound shot and shell, thus making it q
destructive implement of warfare.

AltTm Of Fire.-Cn Tuesday night
Of last week. an alarm of fire was
caused by the burning out Of a Chin
ney at the -esid nee of DR.. Gray on
Main St. The fire fell in quite a
shower on the adjacent roofs.
Our citizens seem fatally bent on
the blind policy of wood buildings. -
Main street is one c0nglOmeration OF
extra hazards. That it will be con.
snmed by fire is only a question OF
time. There is very little insurance
IN our town, and really many Of the
buildings are undesirable risks for
any honest and solvent Company.
1t is positively dangeruns to live in
them. We do not expect our war
nings or advice to be needed, but
there is coming a time when these
words will arise in the memories of
our people and will then have all the
sound aud little of the value of
prophecy.
