Oglethorpe Echo.l
A perfectly responsible gentleman
tells us the following 1.-The late Mr..
Isaac Thornton, Of this county, owned
an old negro named Ike, who could
walk the bed of a stream with as
much ease ease as on land. He could
carry a couple Of large stones in each
hand to weigh him down, and fear
lessly wading into a river, pass across
by walking on the bottom, it mattered
not how deep the water" Our inform
ant says he frequently brossed Broad
river thus,
Mr.. NJ. B. McGinthy, of Athens,
owns a pair Of horses that can under
stand everything the driver says to
them. He never carriet whip, but
governs them by words. II one Of the
pair fails to do its duty the driver
simply calls it by name, stating that
when they get to the stable punish
ishment will be inflicted. A gentle
man tells.ns that the animal at once
shows its understanding Of the threat
by trembling in everp limb, and is
frightened nearly to death when the
time arrives for its chastisement.
Several clear instances are recorded
to show that these HORSES possess a
remarkable understanding Of language.

Calvary Church.

A Communication signed Fair Play,
but without the writer's real name
enclosed, was received by this Office
this morning, and in this cOmmunica-
ton the writer makes the statement
that Calvary church is building three
feet over the line on the street as we'll
as on the alley. 1t is not customary
for newspapers to take any notice
whatever of communications unless
accompanied by a responsible name,
and we notice this communication
only because other persons as well as
Fair Play might rest under the same
erroneous idea. The fact is Calvary
church owns more feet of ground on
the church lot than has ever been
occupied by the church building, and
such being the case the church author
tiles have a right to build on this
ground whenever they please. The
space not heretofore used extends
several feet in every direction from
the church, and the building commit
tee are only exercising a legal right
when they use any or all of this space

Legal Combat

The street railway injunction and
receiver case now on trial before
Chancellor Mcdowell, is matter Of
concern to many, and the Chancellor
has larger audience than is usual
when dry legal problems are under
discussion. This particular case is
very juicy, full of gossip and rough
charges, and is engaging the best efforts
OF several prominent legal gentleman.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Thos. B.
Turley made a mastery forensic argu-
ment in behalf Of his client Mr.. Bills,
urging that a receiver be appointed.
To-day General W. Y. c. Humes has
the courts attention in the interest
of his clients Messrs Davis, Vreden.

interested as principals on both sides
we're noticed yesterday and to-day

the excoriating charges made by the
opposing counsel. They stood it all

GRAND Jury REPORT.
A Whipping Post Recommended
BY the Jury.
Condition or Affairs at EnsHey's
Farm and the Island Work
house, Etc., Etc.

\ The Grand Jury made their report
d Judge Horrigan, Of the Criminal
Court, this forenoon.
Tey mention the large number Of
trivial cases sent by Magistrates, where
they are first brought, to the Criminal
Court, and regard it as a marked de-
feet in our laws that Magistrates are
not given final jurisdiction in all
minor offenses, such as misdemeanors
and petit larceny. Vast expense
would be saved to the county and
State by change Of magisterial juris
diction.
They also recommend to the Legis-
Iature the establishment of whipping
post in every town, city aud civil
district in the State for all offenders
below grand larceny.
The establishment of a house Of
correction and workhouse is also
urged.
The marked decrease of carrying
concealed weapons is a subject of
congratulation.
The Poorhouse and asylum for the
insane is in good condition, the in
mates being we'll clothed and content
ed. The buildings, however, are in
sufficient and old, and need attention,
and the insane have inadequate quar-
ters and more commodious buildings
should. beiprovided.
The Island Workhouse was found on
a very hot day to be free from irregu-
larities or abuses, such .as have been
complained Of heretofore. The quar-
ters we're found to be clean and neat,
and none complained of personal i'll
treatment or want of proper food.
Capt. Stinson, the lessee, is evidently
a humane man and strict discipline
rian. The number Of inmates is fifty
six, of whom six are women and
thirteen white. Corporal punish
ment has been totally abolished.
On Ensley's farm al State prisoners
were found, Captain Henry Brourne
represents the State there apd is re-
sponsible for,the treatment and safety
of the prisoners, as sub-leased OF
Cherry, OConnor & Co., but has no
control over the prisoners except
through the Deputy Warden. Good
health prevails. OF the al prisoners
Is are females, mostly employed about
the house. They have good food, but
eeping quarters are bad, 100 men
occupying two rooms, and the bedding
is very bad. There is an exercise Of
undue severity on the part of the
guards in administering excessive
| logging Tor trivial oHenses.
The county Jail is well kept, but is
bringing the Sheriff into debt, and the
county should supply the Sheriff
Office with all necessary books reQuir.
ed in his official capacity, as has been
customary with other officers. But
% prisoners are in the Jail, of which
II are Shelby county prisoners, thus
proving that the laws are promptly
? enforced.
The condition of the stationhouse il
touched upon in the usual critical
style, and the Mission Home is sub,
ject of comment. The report is sign
ed by ]. W. Cochran as foreman, ant
all the names of the jury are attached
