Sanford,s Arithm etics.

One of Georgia's ablest and most dis
tingnished teachers, Prof. Shelton T.
Sandford, of Mercer University, Macon,
has published aseries of School Arithme-
tics, which are fast crowding all others out
of Southern schools-inf factout Of schools
everywhere. This already famous Sc
ries consists of "Sandford's First Les
sons in Analytical Arithmetic" "sand-
ford's intermediate Analytical Arithme-
tic,n and Sandford's Higher Analytical
Arithmetic" These valuable books are
upon our table, presented US by Mr..
Martin v. Calvin, of Augusta, Agent for
their sale in the Southern States. We
have examined them with much pleas
ure and find them to be splendidly
practical and available result Of Prof.
Sandford's thirty years daily experience
in the School room. We recommend
these Arithmatics, in the warmest man
ner, to all teachers, parents and pupils.

Local Pick.Ups.

They are pitifully scarce, however.
Everybody seems to be busy, but moth
ing startling happens We have no banks
or railroad companies to declare divi-
dends. No lottery schemes. No deba-
ting societies. No cotillion clubs. No
skating rinks. No sabre clubs. No tour
naments. We are slow-jogging people.
But we have now and then big, hos
pitable frolic in the village, or not far
off. Our friend, in R-d, ESQ.,, came
out strongly in this line week ago, and
gave the young people and the gay peo-
pie such turn-loose" as they haven't
had for many day. Take our word for
it, that big house-that hospitable man
sion-on the high hill, was scene of
light and life and beauty on the occasion
we refer to. Our friend and his warm
hearted lady and his accomplished daugh-
tor evidently know exactly how to give
and manage ~ turn-loose." And all OF
us-the aforesaid young people and gay
people-beg leave to assure them that
whenever they will do so again, we Will
not hesitate to brave the angry waves of
Horns Creek and the horrors of the
Rocky Mountains. Bah! what are waves
ind mountains to "turn loose" Who'll
give the next? We could lay our finger
upon so many that ought to.
We dreamed the other night that our
friend, Ben Mays, who lives down by
the "angry waves" sent us something
that he had shot, which measured five
feet from tip to tip, or from nose to tail.
What is it to be, Ben? for we know our
dreaming soul was prophetic. For the
Lords sake don't let it be gray fox.
We hear that the Town Council are
very soon going to repair and beautfy
sthe park. They must do some little
somethsng soon, or they will depart out Of
Office "unwept, unhonorcd and unsung."
Miss Dobey opens her school on Mon
day next. From all We see and hear, her
prospect is quite fattering. And very
soon Mr.. Broaddus will close the Acade-
nv, and then we shall have no male
school. So much the worse.
We are all waiting to hear from the
Railroad charters in Columbia. What
new life real, strong, tangible railroad
prospect would infuse into Edgefeld!

The Russian Bear Preparing for
war

According to the st. Petersburg cores
pondent Of ths London Engineer, there
Is great activity in tho Russian founde-
sies and government arsenals; the gov

greatly enlarged, and the entire infantry
armament has been changed from muz-
zle leaders TO breecli-loaders. The manu-
facture of powder has grown into an inn
mense private as well as public industry.

aged about eighteen, named, Tom Hazels
and acolored man named Jack Garret, in
which Garret was shetland killed by Ha-

somewhat conflicting. It seems though
tha. the two fell into q violent quarrel

very defantly, if indeed the two Gid not

having disappeared from that section,
has not been arrested. No papers from

"A PERILOUs UNDERTAKING.
Captain Lawrence, of the schooner
Vanderbilt, from Rogue river,
Oregon, reports that a person by
the name of Alexander Good
enough left Rogue river on the
Goth ultlmo, in 2 boat the shape of
q cigar, for San Francisco. She
was twenty feet in length, and
rugged with a three-cornered sail
and jib, and had also square sail
for use in case Of necessity. The
boat is entirely covered, with the
exception of a small hole in the
centre for the adventurer to sit in
and steer, also to keep his provi-
sions, etc. Goodenough is a West
ern man, never having followed
the sea, and consequently knows
very little about boating, espe-
cially in such a one as he has
started in. 1t is the impression OF
those who know him that he is
slightly out Of his mind, or he
never would have attempted to
brave the sea in such a boat. His
idea, he said on leaving, was to
show what he could do with his
novel boat, and that he would sur
prise the people of San Francisco
upon his arrival there. Captain
Lawrence is under the impression
that he has taken his last sail, as
nothing has been heard of the
boat or master since their depar-
ture.-[San Francisco Alta.
