From the Madison (FTG) Record.
By the western bound train on Friday
afternoon came John Bell Watkins, col
ored barber, formerly of this place AL
though he held certificates from tbs author
titles at Callahan and Camp Perry, he was
told to move on from Madison by the health
officer, and he presumably debut he
jumped off at the crossing west of Madi-
son. Saturday morning he was reported
as being in a house at the depot with
fever. The mayor went down and felt
his pulse and his diagnosis of ths case
was that John was suffering from an
overdose of ''spirits frumenti." The mayor
examined his certificates and found them
all o. K. While doing 80, colored man
approached him and said: "CapIn, what

he's all right" replied the mayor. HE
ought ter be burnt; he's got no business
coming here wild yellow fever. If yer jest
say de word I'LL tech de hosse off and him

But the mayor would not say the word,
and feeling satisfied there we're no microbes
lurking about him, so reported up town.

From the Washington tGd.) Gazette.
Recitipg the details of the old time corn
shucangs that were once so common in this
country, is like telling bale of foreign
shore.
On yesterday we heard fatherly old
gentleman telling his recollections OF the
corn stockings in TIE days of slavery and
we fully realized the interest that would be
felt in the story in this day.
He says that the whole corn crop cf a
plantation would be placed in one immense
long pile out of doors. That If you would
see such pile Of corn now you would
think all the corn in the country had been
brought there. A ten-foot rail would then
be placed as nearly az possible cross
ways through the long pile. Then
two leading negroes would pick their
gangs from the men and women of
the neighoortng plantations who had
gathered for the huskipg. One gang
would begin at one end of ths pile and the
other gang at the other end; aud when the
word was given the shucks would begin to
rustic and the old constructing songs
would make the welkin ring The shucks
were thrown behind and the clean white
ears into pens on the side
From the very jump it was a race to see
which side could make the rail fall from its
place. and when it did fail the shouts Of the
victors could be heard for a mile or more.
During the progress of the shocking the
master would go around and dose out the
liquor generally p.ach brandy to the
hands regulating the supply by the merri-
ness of the negro.
Sometimes some of the negroes would
pick up the chair in which the master was
sitting, place it on their shoulders, and
march around the place, making great
hurrah Of it.
After all this was over, all the negroes
who wanted to, danced till day next morn
ing, and very few of them failed to take in
this part of the frolic.
These were always great occasions to the
slaves and were looked upon by them as
one of the biggest events Of the year

had occasion to pass through part of
Mrs. Jones' plantation the other day, and,
becoming very tired, seated myself on a
stump, and while sitting there blacksnake
came out Of the grass to my left and went
in haste about 20 feet into a cotton patch
and caught a young partridge. The little
bird commenced u pitiful noise, and his
snakeship was at once attacked by the two
parent birds. So vigorous were the pecks
and the Topping Of the wings that the
snake was compelled to loose the young
bird and save himself by fight. The grass
and weeds were so high that could not
see him after ne got into cornfield near
by, but from his maHeuvers after the at
tack, his punishment must have been very
severe, for from the time.he was attac ked
to the time the oornfield was reached be
jumped several times fully as high as his
length. The old birds followed him about
100 yards and then returned to their young
