Ihe Rev. Geo. w. Singleton, who
has just returned from an extensive
trip travelling over almost the whole
OF North east Georgia, reports the
prospects for a good wheat crop as
quite fiattering, especially Al, ng the
Hightower upper Etawa) River, and
that the early sown oats are looking
very fine. Old farmers say the pros
pect tor good harvest has not been
better since the Indiana gave up
their lands. He says there is a great
complaint about the scarcity of
money. Almost every farmer lost
more or less meat, by the unusual
warm weather, about Christmas. Ba
con will be unusually high in Il at
section during the coming summer.

TIKI WONDERFUL SHEPARD.

The Salt Lake Ereniag Nal comments
upon our report OF tho private entertain
ment recently given by shepard. the
wonderful pianist and singer. at the
residence Of John Gillig. Esq.. Virginia
City. and seems to think w were hum.
plugged in the matter. II says:
''How human beings endowed with
even the most ordinary powers OF dis
cernment ran allow themselves to DO
bamboozlsd BY such q blk 10 beyond our
powers Of comprehension"
The fact OF IL is. that very few Of
those who attended Shepard's entertain
ment allowed themselves to be at all
bamboozled. We simply gave him
credit for being q wonderfully dsItsrous
pianist. as well a. most excellent singer,
all Of which the most compstant judges
cannot and do notdeny. He got 4 o
grand enthusiastic inspiring torrent OF
music out Of that piano than any Of us
ever dreamed could Be produced from
the instrument, and in the midst Of the
heavy outpouring Of laundering musical
sounds tho piano certainly did leap up
and down somewhat. humping its legs
or feet ON the floor. keeping good time
with the music Of the grand Egyptian
march. This being done In total dark.
ness and only to b ascsrtainsd by
those Of the audience nearest the piano
keeping their hands upon II, no one
knew positively how Shepard did il. In
fact We considered II polite TO ask him
how he did il. but A. only the side Of
the piano next TO him MAS raised ut all.
1t was evident that he did II himself in
all probability with his knees. or per-
haps hs stood up and did II with ono
hand. In fact our reporter. being seated
very near Shepard. found that the audi
sncs might even suspect him Of assisting
to raise the piano, and thersupon thought
IL Unnecessary to put in q disclaimer to that
effect in his report. The Utah Mad
seems to think that spiritualism was
brought to bear in the case. but as this
was not claimed even by Shepard himself
we certainly shall not. We rather liked
the enthusiastic piano raising movement

Thomas ". Piper. formerly Sexton Of
the Warren Avenue Church in Boston.
and recently convicted Of the murder Of
little Mabel Young in the bslfry Of the
church. has made q confession at last. He
says that he felt an uneonquerable de-
sire to kill somebody on that Sunday.
He procured q club. and a. little Mabel.
coming out Of sunday School. was the
irst person he met. he selected her a.
the victim. He snticsd hsr to the bel
fry and thsn deliberately murdered her.
This il not his nrst victim. In 1879 be
says that he killed Bridget Landegin in
one Of his murderous Ats and about two
years ago attempted to kill Mary Tyner
because he "fslt like it." Neither Of
these IN was personally known TO
him. but they happened to come along
when the ht was on him.
Boston IL gaining an unsnviaSls repu.
tation for producing these Asnds in hu.
mar form. The story Of Jesse Pomsroy
the boy-dsvil with . white eye. il still
fresh in tho public mind. and now comes
the sicksuing tale OF Piper to supplement
it. 1t 10 hard to sympathizs with either.
although crimes Of this nature commit
ted from no apparent motive u~ndoubted.
ly indicate somsthing wrong in the OF
ganizaiion Of the person who psrpstraies
them. The question is what shall We
do With men Of this character. Their
hendish ~propsnsitiss over which they
have no control render them q ourcs Of
constant danger to the community in
which they live, and . perpetual curse
to themselves. They are not crazy, for
in every other respect they are like other
men. Piper was a protesting christian
and an officer Of the church which no at.
tended; and now that the murder 10 done'
be pre,ends to DO very psnitent. Men
like him and Jesse Pomeroy are mon.
strosities in the human family. They
are human In form. but devils in soul.
What can We do with them?
We answer the question with no pro-
fsssious Of mock sympathy. II mad.
dog is running through our streets,
biting the first person he meets because
be "feels like It," w kill him. The
poor brute is not to blame, perhaps.
and cannot help 1t. but VI kill him. The
Pomsroys and Pipsrs are Of no use to
themselves. and to the community al
large they are mad.dogs. We must kill
them ; and the soonsr We kill them the
better for all concerned. II will not dc
to postpone the operation. Pomeroy
was imprisoned once. pardoned out. and
in a very short time the "ht" seized
him. and he tortured 10 death two more
innocent little girls. Fiends OF this kind
never become human. II any lenisncy
is shown to this man Piper in Massa.
chusetts. the citizens Of that State will
place themselves on record N enemies to
humanity. He 10 ~amad-dog. He must
be killed.
