Mrs. IL. has q peculiar fort Tor rapidly

dren which charactcfizes Miss Mary
Love who has for some time been o
teacher of the primary department OF
the seminary. Had we time we would
like to add a few thoughts on the great
advantages of training in c~alisthen'c
exercises, especially in the promotion
of gracefulncss of carriage and move
ment and strength Of all the muscles
of the physical system; but this article,
if admitted for your paper to-day,

CALISTHENIC EXHIBITION.

The Calisthenic Exhibition of the
girls of the Macon Female Seminary
came off last night according to an
nouccment. At an early hour the
Court honsc was filled the gallery,
aisle. spaces on the side of the stage,
and every available place for standing,
sitting or squatting was occupied. AT
Il little after 7 O'Clock after music by
the Macon Brass Band, Miss Love took
her position at the piano, accompanied
bv Miss, who assisted in the mu-
sic by which the calisthenic movements
were guided, Immediately the little
girls began marching in followed by
the larger ones, all dressedin uniform
of blue trimmed with red. There were
also Il few small boys among them
The spectators seemed astonished at
the perfect accuracy with which they
kept time to the music in their march
ing and in their exercises with the
wands and dumb bells as well as grace
fulness of all their movements of body
and limb. You may take u company
of regulars in the army and they can
not show better drilling than those
children did. 1t wss remarked by
many of the spectators that it was SUI
perior to any thing Of the kind they
had ever Witnessed. Indeed many of
them especially the older ladies APP
poared to be perfectly charmed. Con-
sidering the large number of perform
ers. the harmony of their various ma
neuyers was truly wonderful. 1t was
like clock work. The older people
seemed to enjoy it even more than the
young. When those sixteen of the lar
ger girls came in, all dressed in tarle-
ton Of various colors-four i'll white,
four in green, four in pink and four in
buff, and displayed their graceful ma
neuvers, ii was truly like a fairy scene.
The beauty of the scene was enhanced
by the reflection Of colored lights up
on them. With that the exhibition
closed. While the calistheni perform
ers were off the stage the audience was.

Mr.. EDITOR: Farming in this vi
entity is, at present progressing very
well, all things considered.
After the exceeding short crop of
'78, followed by o much rain during
January and February past, the pros
pcct was exceedingly gloomy the first
of March; yet with the opening of
Spring, farmers went to work with a
will" and now few, if any, are behind
the season. Most or all have finished
planting, and are nov blowing and
hocing corn. The stands of corn be-
fore the frost ON the 4th, were the best
for several years; but it was killed in
some fields, in spots, which now make
the stands a little irregular. Have
heard of no one who had to plant an
entire field the second time.
Cotton was not doing well until the
last few days Of warm weather. The
hard rain a week ago packed the
ground considerably, and in fields
where the seed had sprouted and not
come through the ground, the germ
was injured, but not to such an eXtont
as to cause planting over The cool
weather the t1rst part oftno month
has also been a drawback to cotton,
making il slow in coming up, Cotton
is strictly sun plant and needs hot
sun to make il grow.
Spring planted oats are looking aud
doing well. Most of those planted last
Fall either froze out so as to cause re-
planting or in places a defective
stand. The cool weather that injured
the cotton benefited oats Of all kinds.
This suggests an idea | will explain
more fully in future.
The area in oats and corn is %increas-
ed while that in cotton has been di-
minished, but the ratio | have been
unable to determine satisfactorily
All seem determined to have to pu.-
chase no more corn from the Western
and Middle States.
Gardens were crippled by the frost
but are now very promising again.
The determination to succeed seems
to be urging the farmers to renewed
exertions and | think improvement in
preparation and in working is perccpt-
ible. There seems to be u strong I'M
der current in favor of clover and oats,
against too much cotton.

A Caution About Shot in Game.

This being the season when game
killed by shooting, and probably con-
tanning the pellets, is eaten. it may be
worth while to caution those who con-
sumo the flesh of birds with avidity that
the proportion of instances in which
shot is found is probably small in COM
parison with the number eff cases in
which tie pellets are unwittingly swal-
lowed. 1t is a matter of speculation
how much mischief a shot may do in
passing into the intestines, but the fact
that anomalous diseases have been set
up by the presence of very small bodies
which have become entangled in folds
of the mucous membrane renders it de-
sirable to put the public on their guard.
Occasionally the most disastrous results
have followed such small causes. We
have in recollection the case of a physi-
clan who died after prolonged and unex-
planned sufferings, from the inpaction
of very small nail which had found its
way into "a pudding, and was inad-
vertently swallowed. A little care will
avoid this contingency, but, remember
ing that the bird had been shot. some
pains ought certainly to be taken to
