New Hope, their family burying ground on
Saturday evening. He was stout healthy

fatal disease and promised long and useful

by the continual falling of some
heavy body in tho swater, and

about twelve feet above the cause of

Marietta Female College Destroyed by
Fine

About O'Clock last Monday morning,
the Marietta Female College was discovered
to be on fire The alarm was given and a
crowd soon assembled, but the building was
completely enveloped in flames and nothing
could he done to save it, 1t was large,
two story brick building, and its interior
well arranged for The purposes for which it
was being used. The night was clear and
the wind perfectly still, which operated
favorably in saving adjacent residences.
All the desks books, etc, of the college
were burned also fine piano and organ,
worth 5000, belonging to Prof Freyer, be-
ing used by Prof. Barnwell The guns,
furnished by the State to the Marietta Rifle
men, were destroyed, also. The college
building was the property of the city OF Ma
rietta, and its destruction was evidently the
work of the ncendiary, from what devilish
motive We cannot surmise. Under the en-
crgetic management of its efficient Presi-
dent, Rev. " E. Manget, it was regaining
its former popularity and this week it
would have numbered its sixty scholars,
with the promises of others from abroad.
It's destruction is public calamity and we
fear it will be many day before we have
another such a college edifice in Marietta
There was no insurance.

KENNESAW DOTS.

...Since our merchants have all turned
cotton buyers, our little village is quite a
lively place. The result of the boys first
experience in the cotton business was not
very Satisfactory to them. Ben Steel only
lacked $13 20 getting as much for his first
bale as he paid for it. Ben says it is all
right, that competition is the life of trade
and the secret of success is in turning the
money over often.
Cotton is opening rapidly and will soon
be on the market. A pretty good half crop
will be realized.
Our village is strictly healthy, not
case of sickness Of any sort.
Mr.. Dooly has unloaded train load of
lumber here to be used in renOvating depot
and hotel platforms
...Some Cobb county man has pitched in
to Gen. Phillips Railroad or into his eff
forts to get State aid for his road. Verify
some men would object to being hung, no
matter how much they deserved hanging.

TIE recent death of Mr.. Robert
Goelet in New York recalls incidents
of the history of that city, and pres
seDts 10 an almost startling manner
the great increase in the value of
city real estate. Ground that was
bought by the father of the dead
millionaire for $l5 is now worth
thousands of dollars, the combined
estate of the two brothers (Robert
and Peter, the latter of whom is still
living) being estimated at something
near S5O,000,000. Itis somewhat
noteworthy fact that almost all the
real estate owned by them remains
intact, as it was left to them by their
father, so conservative have they
been in their business transactions.

yesterday, that the late strike in the
Buffalo mine, on the Atlanta lode, Al

states that the ore snrpasses IN rich
ness any ever before found in that ia
nous mine, and the indications are
that the body is Of immense proper

us that rich developments have been
made in the mines on Queens river,
which promises to be one Of the rich
est mining districts of the Territory.

Peculiarly of Base Metal Mines.

An article recently published in the
Scientific Press, gives some useful in
formation to prospectors. 1t explains
the appearance end formation of base
metal lodges, and says that all, or
nearly ALL are capped over with iron
rock, the ledge appearing, on the sur
face, to contain nothing but iron ore.
Generally this class Of rock gives
way to what is known as base metal
ore within few feet of the surface.
At present but one such mine in this
county is being prospected. On 1t a
depth of forty feet has been obtained,
and it has proven good mine. 1t is
no exception to the rule, being capped
over on the surface with iron ore.
We are told by an old quartz miner
that there are many lodges in the
county that have the same appear
ance on the surface as the one being
developed, yet no attention has been
paid to them by prospectors. 1t
would take but little work to ascer-
tain whether they are base metal
lodges, and fortune seekers can afford
to spend little work on them.
