An Outrageous Assault.

Our community was shocked and stirred
to Indignation on learning Saturday that
Mrs Fox, highly respectable widow lady,
of this place who lives on Roswell street
fronting National Cemetery had been bru-
tally assaulted Ivy Ike Wesley, notorious
negro who has been sentenced to the chain
gang twice. On Friday night, we are in
formed, Wesley knocked at the door and
informed the lady that he had note for
her from her agent. She lives in the. house
alone and had no sooner unlocked the door
than he cutched her throat with both hands
and choked her insensible and she fell TO
the floor in the hall, where she remained
many hours. Next morning on regaining
sufficient consciousness and strength, she
went to the residence Of Capt. james g.
Hughes and impaired the Notifying in
formation Her throat was black with the
finger marks of the negro and her shoulders
badly bruised Capt Hughes informed our
vgilant Sheriff, w, p. Stephens, of the al
fair, and by nine O'Clock Saturday night,
the negro was arrested at his home on an
opposite street, in bed. He was greatly
frightened, and plainly visible over the left
eye were scratches he had received from
the lady in resisting his assault. The ne
gro was placed in Jail and ON Monday he
was carried before Justice A. N. Simpson,
but he waived preliminary trial and went
back to Jail. Strong talk of lynching the
negro was heard on the streets, but prudent
counsel prevailed and the law will take its
course.

Harris's place, seven miles from Marietta,

drick down with a stick in the yard. Ken
drick jumped up and run into his house and
gotta pistol and fred upon his ASSISTANTS,
missing them. The two IIarshaws then
rushed into the house, and, with knives, at
tackled Kendrick cutting him in some ten
places and in one or two places the knives
went to the hollow. Kendrick fell to the
floor as bloody as butchered hog. The
Harshaws then fled, and, It's reported they
carried off Hendricks watch. Constable

Keep on the Farm.

In these dull times, when scores
of young men are out of employ
ment, and others are crowding in
from other places, seeking for So
called "genteel" situations, it is well
to give wide publicity to such facts
as are set forth in the following ex-
tract from the New York Journal of
Commerce: One of the great prob
lens of our day, too little discussed
by those who have the ear of the
pnblic through the press or at the
forum, is to furnish the young men
of this generation with remunera-
tive employment. The professions
are all over-crowded, The shop
keepers are by far too numerous.
Agencies of all classes are so multi
piled that the occupants tread on
each others toes and are bore and
nuisance to the general public.
Clerks out of employment and will
ing to serve for a pittanee are to be
raekoned by their Tens of thousands.
Book-keepers with hungry eyes are
reading the advertising lists in the
vain hope of an opening for their
application. Collectors, messengers,
dOor-keepeFs, Watchmen, conduct
ors, and the great variety of Others,
already expert seeking employment
in kindred callings, are waiting an
xiOusly forsome one to engage them.
Every possible form of service that
can be reckoned in the list of gen.
teel occupations Is anxiously sought
after by multitudes who have no
other provision for their daily needs.
The men who have been trying to
live by their wits must go to work
at the bench or i'm the field; Of these
the soil offers the most accessible
and at first the most remunCrative
employment. The mass of the un-
employed must seek sustenance
from the bosom of mother earth.
Land is cheap, and there is a wide
area that awaits the tiller. The back
may ache, and the skin blister in
the sun, but the bread can be made
without fear of failure, if the labor
er will be- faithful to his calling. 1t
needs leas wisdom and forethought !
than patient industry, and the man
with a common mind may eat his
harvest in peace"

Candid Opinion.

A Detroit lawyer, famous for his
wise and candid opinions, was the
other day visited by young attOr.
ney, who explained
"I was admitted to the bar two
years ago, and / think know some
thing about law, yet the minute i
arise to address a jury forget all
my points and can say nothing.
Now, want to ask you if this does
not show lack of confidence in my
self, and how can ] overcome ii ?1
The wise attorney shut his eyes
and studied the case for q moment
before answering:
'My young friend, if it is lack of
confidence in yourself it will some
day vanish, but If it is lack Of brains
you had better sell out your Office
effects and buy a pick axe and a
long-handled shovel"
"But how am / to determine?"
asked the young man.
"I'd buy the pick axe anyhow
and run my chances I" whispered
the aged adviser, as he moved over
to the peg for his overcoat.

The Iron Revival.


The steady and rapidly advance
in the price of iron has thrown the
whole iron industry of the Ohio
Valley into state of extraordinary
activity. The advance established
within sixty days in nearly all
classes of iron if fully 80 per cent.
Hanging Rock charcoal iron, which
in the early summer sold below $40
per ton, is now held at $29 and can
not be had at that figure. The mills
and furnaces have cleared out their
stocks, and, though they are run
ming to their full capacity, they
cannot supply the demand. Parties
not having engagements ahead for
pig find great difficulty at present
in obtaining a supply. Instances
have occurred during the past two
weeks where rail mills have been
compelled to shut down for several
days, though overrun with orders,
because of their inability TO obtain
supply. Nails advanced recently
to S3 per hundred a few weeks ago
they were sold as low as 81 so. Mill
owners in this vicinity are talking
OF putting bar iron up TO SO. If that
IS done a still further advance i'm
nails must follow. Pig iron ran
up during the excitement In the
recently, and leading
operator gives il as his opinion that
s35 per ton would be reached within
4 short time. The effect of this
revival is to suddenly revolutionize
-he state Of things throughout the
ron districts. Men are finding em-
ployment at advanced wages, and
all classes Of business are feeling
he impetus.

A Turtle no Years Ola.
Palatlka lFlorldnl Hernlh-

We received a turtle a few days
since which had marked on its back
the date of 1900, and also the Span
ish coat of arms, Indicating that
this old resident was in existence
l79 years ago. What changes this
old fellow of the deep has seen
The rise and fall of empires, and the
continent on which he partly lived
emerged from the thraldOm Of des-
potism, with the rise Of a republic
that has become the great
conservator of freedom, the adj
vancement of civilization and
the glory of the world. A few
words in Spanish on the shell were
translated, which say: Caught I'm
1900 by Hermanda Gomez, in tho
st. Sebastian, and was carried to
Matanza by Indians; from there to
the Great Wekiva," (Which Is now
the st, Johns river. On Tuesday.
the 18th of June, the turtle was
turned adrift In the st. Johns river
at Palatka, with the inscription on
his back, eastern Herald, Palatka.
Florida, 1879" 1t may DO supposed
that by this time the old fellow has
scented salt water and gone over the
bar at high tide, and probably a few
hence may take him un
at Spanish port on the other side.
