A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
Burning TO Death of Two Children at
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Oil the Cause
A HeartrendIng SpecfscIe-SIngu-
lar Fatality.

lar Fatality.
From the Atlanta Herald.
THOMSON, GA, June IA, 1873.-This
usually quiet little town was startled to its
circumference with the report which flew
over it with remarkable swiftness, of the
burning Of two little children of Mr. Ba.
ker's. In short time the majority of the
reople in the town had assembled to wit
ness the horrible sight which would sadden
the hardest heart to behold. The particu-
lars as far as | can learn them, are these:
Mrs. Baker told her little sister, a little
bright-eyed girl of eight year to take the
little girl, Minnie, into the dining room,
aud get something for her to eat. Minnie
is an infant only fifteen months old, and the
only child. The little girl took the child
and prepared to obey the order, and went
into an adjoining room to that in which the
older members were sitting. Mrs. Baker
said that she heard the little girl say that
she would start a fire; shortly after that an
explosion was heard almost equal to that Of
a cannon. Mrs. Baker and others rushed
into the room and found the two little girls
enveloped in flames. Blankets were inn
nedistely thrown around them, and water
dashed upon the part of the house that had
caught, and the flames checked. But alas
Lizzie Fontaine, the lovely little girl, had
| been baked from the knees to the Shout
| ders. Little Minnie Baker was so badly
burned that she only lived al hour. The
| little sis er of Mrs. Baker is low lying in a
critical condition, the doctors saying that it
is impossible for her to live until tomorrow.
The cause of the disaster was found to be
a gallon can of kerosene oil which was left
upon the hearth, and little Lizzie Fountaine
in attempting TO kindle the fire with it,
caused the terrible accident which we have
written above. The loss of their little one
goes to the heart of the afflicted parents
| like bolt of ice. Mr.. Baker is hard
working, industrious man, who has re-
sided in Thomson only short time, hav-
lug moved here from Augusta. He is a
shoemaker by trade, and wss ct his shop
when the sad news was brought to him.
| Mr.. Bakers mother lost her life by being
| burned to death years ago.

Country Gentleman.
The farmers who compose the above
named Association are distinguished for
their enterprise and character, and their
statements are quite reliable. Let us re-
view the facts and get their full meaning.
An eve S6S days old Conly over year, }
weighs 50 pounds, land gave her owner a
fleece that weighed IA pouods and IL
ounces. This lamb produced just lbs.
IL OF. of wool more than a pound
month during every month it had lived.
The next sheep is ram just one day ever
13 month"; old, hat weighed lis pounds,
and clipped the heavy fleece Of II lbs. 8!
ounces. The next ram, although three
days older, did not weigA 60 much by 49
pounds; yet he gave more wool per weight
of carcass, and consequently more wool for
the food which be had consumed than the
lis pound sheep. An animal that weighed
only IS pounds yielded 16 pounds ounces
of wool. Mr.. Norton's eve when one ye r
and Is days weighed 81 lbs, and shear
ed Is lbs, A ounces of wool.
Mr. Ashley's eve lamb, when fifteen days
less than a year old, weighed 20 pounds
aud gave fleece that sighed l21 pounds.
A comparatively small lamb, twelve days
less than year old, that weighed only 66
pounds, gave a nice fleece that weighed
13 pounds u ounces. We are not sure
from the copy that Mr.. Pitts tWo-year-old
ram had ever been shorn, and therefore his
fleece Of soma twenty four months growth
weighed "a pounds 81 ounces. The fleece
of the three-year-old ram was doubtless
only of some twelve months growth.
The blood of sheep that largely excel in
producing wool of a good quality, from any
given quantity of food, has high value for
breeding purposes. There are male sheep
in England that let by the season at from
fifty to five hundred dollars head; and
any sum less than $1,000 could not pur-
chase single ram. 1t costs very little more
to keep a flock that will clip nine pounds of
wool head on an average than one that
will yield only third as much. 1t is
natural that coed farmers should purchase
and keep the best stock.

With this issue, The Journal enters upon
the Seventh Volume in the calendar OF Its ex-
istence Directly after the war, when Manet-
"a was n heap of ashes and charred mass OF
ruins-wlem homes were desolate, kindred
scattered, the peop.e impoverished, and our

when our political sky was without one raysof
hope, but black with impending evil, and when
the conoueror's tread sill resounded thrSagh
our streets; amid all these unfavorable tokens.
the Senior Editor summoned courage to launch
the MARIETTA JOURNAL upon the turbid wa
tiers of Journalistic life, hoping to receive SUI
ficent support, at least to keep il atioat-
By udicious management, perseverance, skill
and industry, it has successfully rode the
Storm and out-weathered the gale, and from
diminutive sheet it has assumed the proportions
of respectable size paper From time to time
new material has been added and now it has
complete outfit-a power press, fast jobber,
a hand press, and va ried assortment Of news
paper and job type.
In the meantime, Marietta has emerged from
the wreck of war, panoplied in beauty and
strength. Her people have been energised, her
waste places built up-fne public and private
buildings stand as monuments of her Phpaix-
like spirit and as achievements of industry and
marks of wealth. The lands are again uader
proper mode ofculture, yielding abundant har-
vests, end the people rejoice with peace and

All this time the JOURNAL has made its reg
ular visits seeking to attract capital TO develop
our vast resources aud advance the prosperity
of the people, and to enlighten, ennoble and
instruct the masses We do not believe cur ef-
forts have been fruitless. Now as the New
