James Gay, who resided in the western
portion OF Jackson county, committed
suicide on Friday last by cutting his throat
with razor. He was at the time under
arrest under the charge of an officer from
Decatur county, Georgia, who claimed to
have requisition for him for having traded
mortgaged property while he was citizen

j. ?. Carr, the merchant and postmaster
at Fort Ogden, is fencing in large body
Of his Wild land to pasture his cattle, of
which he keeps only few head for his own
farm stock. He is thereby awakening. I'M
consciously, much unfavorable comment
for breaking up the range. This charge of
"meannesS" seems to put q new feature
upon the fence question, and it may reach
a climax in an appeal to the legislature for
an act forbidding the fencing of private
grazing lands.
| Tuesday morning as the section hands on
| the South Florida railroad we're approach
ing Mayo they discovered the remains of a
negro in a horrible state of mutilation
The head was found in one place and the
body, cut to pieces, was found scattered
along the track. The remains were gath
| cred together and taken to Winter Park
| 1t Is evident that the body was cut to
pieces by the train, but further than this
nothing definite can be obtained. 1t is not
Known who the man was or how he came
to be in the situation that resulted in his
death.
At Fort Ogden the main interest lust now
is conferred in the mammoth tax sale list
| published in the county paper, and in the
| revision and marking 40 of the assessment
for the next year. Ii seems that the admo-
milton of the governor, relating mostly to
the more populouS districts, is being liter
| ally obeved there, and the rating made on
| the strength or few sales, rather than on
| the real productive value to holders who do
not care TO sell 1t is not TO be concealed
that there has been 'Shrinkagen since the
| decline of the boom created by the opening
OF the railroad through that region, though
| there is a general advance alike in the yalus
of the still booming seaport of Punta Cor
| da, and the county seat at Arcadia The
tax sale list includes some property that has
paid taxes, and some of it is United States
| u.
on which the sheriff will find some diff,
Guilty to give title, though the erroneous
| proceedings may give much ANNOYANCE to
| those who are the victims of the errors, and
may not prove advantageous to the new
board of immigration.
! Pensacola NelUS: Thursday. as Can't
! Dixon Reed in his yacht Wallace. was
crossing the harbor from the quarantine
station, and when about one mile on this
side Of Town Poiu-, the noticed about 200
| yards ahead and to windward a commotioD
! on the surface of the water He steered for
the spot and ran within 70 feet of one of the
! largest, and at the same time one of the
strongest fish ever seen in these or any
other waters. II WAS milk white and only
half as long as it was broad. In breadth
! Capt Reed judges, it measured % to 30
feet. 1t was shaped somewhat as a spade
on playing card, and had a head that re-
/ sembled slightly trutle's. On each side
was fin, the only appendages of toe kind
the fish had, and with these, assisted by a
short tail, he propelled himself through
the water. He was fiat, fore aud aft, and
three deep ridges crossed hls back
| athwartships. AS the Wallace approached
the fish, which was lying with his head to
! the north, the monster turned and sized up
the vessel with dark but not wicked-look-
! ing eve, and, as hemoved in the water Can't
! Reed noticed that his neither side was OF a
dark gray color. He seemed to have no
| scales, aud he manifested not the least
alarm as the yacht bore down upon him
When close upon the fish Capt. K sed bore
away, passing, as related, within twenty
feet Of the fellow The fish remained on
the surface and was padding about when
last seen from the Wallace,
