New Era An abundance OF fat
hogs is reported in nearly all parts Of
the county. Mast is so plentiful in
some neighborhoods that hogs will
need little corn. A gentleman reports
a lot of last February pigs, which will
now average two hundred and fifty
pounds.
The baptism OF thirty-three per-
sons in Little River, near Concord
Baptist Church, attracted large crowd
Sunday morning. A protracted meet
ing had been held for three weeks
past by the colored Baptists OF Bloom
ing Grove Church, under the preach
ing OF Elder Mosely, and the ordi-
nance was administered on this occa-
sion for the admission of the converts
into the church.
The convention for the nomina-
ton of Democratic candidate for
circuit Judge sat three days at Russell
vile last week and finally nominated
Hon. Willis L. Reeves. of Todd. There
was some dissatisfaction on the part of
the friends of Judge Rhodes of Bow

apprehended, but it seems that all
parties have sensibly concluded to
acquiesce IN the decision of the conven-
ton.

convened in Auburn on October 22d,
held its session three days and ad-

expedient to have preaching at the
Methodist church also. The ladies had
quite an interesting missionary meet
ing Friday night, Oct. %, in which
some of Auburn's little folks took part.
There were many visitors in town dur
ing that time.

WASHINGTON. Nov. ESPECIAL. l-Gen.
William A. Quarles of GAINESVILLE is in the
city in response to invitation from the de-
partment of state. He was offered the con-
sui generalship to China but declined 1t, as
the position has only a salary of 5000 and
his profession is more profitable; also the
duties are more arduouS than he desires at
his age. Gen. Quarles did once have it in
mind. He applied for the Mexican mission
but it hal been given to Gen. Jackson three
days before. Consul general to China is a
most important place. He has supervisory
control of all consulates in China, has i'm
portant diplomatic duties, and whenever
the minister is disabled he participates in
the municipal government of the foreign
settlement. He is Judge trying civil causes
in which Americans are defendants and
trying them where even death is the pen
atty. In his judicial capacity he isjudge Of
a criminal court, of probate, of divorce, of
equity, and OF 9lisi ?DrIuS. He handles all
United States mails arriving at Shanghai
and performs the duties of sea port consulate.
He has the care of American shipping,
guarding the interests of master, crew and
owners, and looks after the export and i'm

dislocating one of the bones in his left
leg, and breaking the other bone,
which protruded through the flesh

longing to Mr.. Richardson. While
the two hose companies were at that
fire, the residence of August Struhtz,

The first regular mail from Detroit,
over the new extension of the Alger
railroad to Black River, arrived in
this city about twelve o'clock Monday
night, and contained the Detroit Free
Press published that morning. The
mail will come about the same time
the rest of the winter. 1t arrives in
this city too late for distribution the
same night, but citizens will not make
any objection, as, no doubt, they will
be well satisfied with the mail facili-
ties this winter. The mails will now
arrive some hours earlier than they
did by steamer during the summer
season. In case any very great event
occurs of deep interest to the citizens,
such as happens once or twice year,
we have no doubt but that the post
master would distribute the Detroit
morning papers the same night.
