1t il well authenticated fact that
there is LoConte. pear tree in McIu-
iosh county which one year produc-
ed thirty three bushels. This beats
an orange grove all 10 pieces And
here IS really no danger of over
stocking the market with pears. If
they can not be sold as just gather
ed from the tree they can be dried
Or pu' up in the form Of preserves
Al the rate OF thirty bushels to the
tree II will pay to raise pears to feed
the hogs.-Hinesville Gazette.

We clip the following from an ex-
change, the truth of which we hope
fully endorse. Evidently a man who
knows how to take care of his
business.
standing advertisements in a paper
command confidence. This man
who for year resides in commu-
nifty aud lives reputable life, though
he be of moderate ability will grow
in the confidence and esteem of his
fellows. On the same principle a
newspaper advertisement becomes
familiar to the reader. IT may not be
read, still it makes the man and
business of a man familiar, and lis
presence i'll the columns Of PAPER
inspires confidence in the stability Of
the advertiser"

scourge in Spain-Bulietins.
MARsEILLEs, Aug. 1.-The lower classes
dislike and oppose the physicians because
they have an idea the physicians have been
mstigated to help the cholera along in order
to get rid of the surplus population.
A paper read by a medical man in
Berlin, iauding the cholera as sweeping off
the beings untitled for the struggle
OF existence, has been widely re-
produced in France and helped to prejudice
the people against the doctors and to confirm
them in their belief that the government has
adopted views similar to those of the Berlin
essayist- An instance of the popular hostility
toward the physicians occurred in this city
A doctor was going into the slums to at
tend patient, when he was confronted by a
party of the sick mans neighbors, with
knives, who chased him away and prevented
him ministering to the sufferer
ARIES, Ang IA sad incident in connec-
ton with the cholera panic happened recently
near this city A lad at work on a farm was
seized with vomiting The farmer refused to
ALLOW him to enter the house. and the poor fel-
low died in the field, alone and without care.
When the father of the lad arrived he
was not permitted to place his sons
body In the stable, but was forced
to leave it in the open air while he went tc
town to procure coffin. He then conveyed
the body on a wheelbarrow to the burial
authorities who refused assistance, and the
father was finally compelled to bury it in the
cemetery alone.

A Rat and a Ferret.

The Bankers and Merchants Tele-
graph Company in this city is putting its
wires underground. The other day
workman made the underground reeep-
tacle for the wires and covered it over
according to the most approved methods
for four squares, but neglected to put in
the wires, or ANYTHING by which they
could be pulled through. He tried air
pressure and everything he could devise
to force wire through the underground
trough. but nothingravailed. The whole
thing had to be taken up and the work
done over again. This called to mind
the time they had in London in 1857 or
1858. The telegraph wires in that city
have always for the greater part been
underground. The main wires are laid
through the great tunnels. which ae-
commodate also the gas and sewer pipes.
These tunnels are big enough for man
to walk through easily. OF course,
there is no troubleaabout inspecting the
wires or repairing or replacing them
whenever it becomes necessary. But
the pipes containing the lateral wires,
running off for two or three miles from
the main line, are small ones. At the
time of which we speak one of these
lateral wires was hauled out to be re-
paired. The men doing this work failed
to attach to it a leading line, by which
the wire could be drawn through again.
The means employed to correct the er-
ror were very unique. A large rat,
with fine steel wire, was put in the
pipe Behind there was thrust ferret
The rat ran from the ferret a short dis
tance and stopped. 1t was feared that
he would show fight and be killed. But
he started on again. He ran through
the whole length of the pipe, and
brought out the wire in good style,
though closely pushed by the ferret,

Serious Explosion of Gas.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Aug Am explosion of
gas occurred in a room at the opera house
Wednesday evening which almost caused a
serious confagration, and resulted In the
probably fatal injury of Mollie Welsh and
Maggie Campbell, and the serious injury of
Maria Foley, q girl engaged in assisting the
janitor in cleaning the place. The roomkn
which the explosion occurred was used as a
dressingroom. The girls were in it early in
the morning, and on leaving turned the gas
out, but not entirely off When they re-
turned in the evening the room was full of
gas which exploded when one of the girls
struck match. The girls were thrown down
by the force of the explosion, and various ar
tiCles about the room were set on fire. These
were extinguished, however, before great
damage was done, but had it not been for the
fact that the explosion was heard by some
men on the stage the fire would soon have
been beyond control The girls were burned
about the face and neck, and the two who are
not expected to recover also inhaled the burn
