Tious event is said to lave happened
in tie year 1877 in Herefordshi e,
England. On the 18th of Februal v.
which was a Saturday at six O'Clock
in the evening, the earth began to
open, and a hill, with rock under
it, making at first loud, believing
noise, which was heard several miles
off, lifted itself up to great hight
and began to travel, bearing along
with it the trees growing on it, the
sheeepfolds, sheep and cattle that hap,
rened to be grazing on the hill at the
time. 1t left a gap in the ground
about fifty yards broad and 100 long.
The size of the Hill was about 20 acres
at the base. Passing along, 1t over
threw chapel standing In the way,
removed yew tree planted IN the
church yard, flom the west side to
the east side, and with the same
force it thrust beioie it highways,
sheepfolds, hedges and trees. TILED
ground was made pasture, and pas
tue was turned into titled
ground. The hill continued to move
by fits and starts from the Saturday
evening until noon on Monday,
when it stopped, having in that time
moved distance ofover mile. A
like circumstance is reported to have
occurred in Dorsetshire. in 1888. A
field of over three acres in extent,
Mt Blackmcre, moved bodily a diss
lance of 500 yards. The trees ard
and fences upon it were but litcle dis
turbed, but it knocked down a church
and sundry dwellings in another field

blocking it up, and there it stayed,

YOU MUST CARRY A GUN.

Ii You do Not You Are Liable to Fine
An Old Statute that Still Exists
Unrepealed IN the Code Of GeOr-
Gia Very Interesting.
Some very strange laws are in ex
istence in Georgia which, although
obsolete, have never been repealed.
Looking through an old code yes.
terday, the following unique statute
was found written in the old English
text.
1t reads that no male person shall
go to church, on Christmas, Easter
day, or other days of public worship,
without carrying gun or a brace Of
pistols, with six rounds of powder
and ball, under forfeit of ten shils
lings.
The law also says that the church
warden or wardens must search all
persons who come hither that have
no arms displayed and see whether
or not they are about their per>
sons.
A failure on the part of the wardens
to do this within fifteen minutes
from the first appearance of the per-
son or persons at the church, shall
make them liable to fine of fifteen
shillings.
This law first passed the General
Assembly of the State in 1777 to be
enforced Tor the term of three years,
or until the next meeting of the As
sembly.
The revolutionary war then came
on and after the close it was made
law in perpetuity under a general
act passed, which enforced all statutes
then existence forever, unless repeal>
ed.
This law, therefore, made during
the time of early settlers, when all
such gatherings were in danger OF be
ing attacked by the Indians, still ex-
lists, and our peaceful citizens who 60
to their places of worship each Sun,
dap unwittingly violate the law OF the
State, and make themselves liable to
a fine for the same.
The wardens also have tor years
been acting in direct violation of the
statute by not searching each and
every one of the male members of the
congregation, and the people of the
State must be careful not to 90 to
their churches after this without
weapons to defend themselves.

The story they tell is one of pros

Heed tie Wnrninn.

1t is not infrequently the case that
itching pim2les aud irritating "cat
boils' are the forerunners of larger
bOils, or the more serious carbuncles.
Invariably Nature puts out her dan-
ger signals, and they should be heeled
at once. The pimples and little boiIs
show that the blood is not in a good
condition and nature is trying to res
lieve the system. A few doses of
Swlft's Specific at this juncture will
accomplish wonders. The eruption
will be healed and the system cleans
ed of its impurities. The modern
paraphrase of the old saying, "a
stitch ia time, etc, is that Timely
stitches will save nine pairs of breech,
es.' The modern form has a touch
OF humor that does not modify the
trC tn of it. In that vein, we may
say that course of Swift's Specific
prevents ills terrific.

With her foot wedged between the
guard rails at the Short Line wards.
Miss Katie Wills, young woman
of the East End, was run down by a
train OF freight cars yesterday after.
noon. Fer foot was ground off, but
by the rarest presence of mind she
was saved from death.
Miss Willis was out walking with
girl friend. While walking through
the network of the tracks in the
yards Miss Willis stepped from one
of the rails. Her foot slipped, and
in some way was caught between the
track and guard rail.
AT the same time her friend notic-
ed train OF freight cars backing
toward them, and only short diss
lance off Seeing the impending dams
ger she ran to the assistance of the
captive and together they used all
their strength in trying to extricate
her foot. But it was caught as in a
vice. On account of slight curve
in the track at that point the engi-
neer did not see the young woman
until it was too late.
In last effort to save her life
Miss Willis threw her body from the
track, but her left foot was still
held firmly, and through her agony
of mind she saw the wheel roll over
her leg midway between the knee
and ankle, severiug the member cons
pletely. The shoe, which had been
cut off with the foot, could hardly be
drawn from the track, so tightly had
it been wedged in.
Miss Wills is IS years of age and
is an unusually pretty girl. The terri.
bic strain of the few seconds she was
held between the rails and the phys.
ical pain suffered threw her into such
a condition that il is feared her death
will result.-Courier journal.

The Decentralization of Debt.

Debit There is no worse demon.
alizer of character. The sad records
of default'ng. and dishonest failure
which we meet with in daily press,
are often, indeed most..fequently. the
results of the decentralization of debt,
and consequent desperate efforts at
extrication. The financial props have
given away. The little debt, which
at first was as small az a grain of mus
tard seed, like the rolling snow ball
has gathered weight and multiplied
itself thousand fold. And still it
grows and like the fabulous hydra
which Hercules was sent to kill, you
no sooner strike off one head than two
shoot upin its place. The struggle
is severe, but 10 the end decisive; eth
er confession Is made OF a hopeless
bankruptcy which might and should
have been avoided, or integrity is
sacrificed to the temptation OF the
moment. Debt ruins as many house,
holds and destroys as many fine
characters as rum; it is the devils

ready to foreclOse. Pay all your bills.

GEN. COOKS DILEMMA.
His Effort at Training Belligerent
Bull Meets With Signal Failure.

nun Meets Win signal Failure.
From Lee county citizen in tn
city yesterday, the News and Adver
tiser reporter learned of an amusin,
incident in which Gen. Phil Cool
and a large and ferocious bull, on hi
Lee county plantation, figured a.
principals.
The bull in question is said to be (
fine registered Jersey, but one of tn,
most vicious and pugnacious animals
to be found anywhere. He seemed
to be spiling for a fight every mo.
meDt of his life, and in Difference to
bis helligerent inclinations he is given
a wide berth by the hands on the
farm.
Sometime since General Cook came
down from Atlanta to spend a few
days on his farm recuperating bis
wasted energies, and while there was
told of the fighting inclinations which
the bull had developed during his
absence in attending to matters of the
State.
The doughty old warrior pooh>
poohed the stories told him about his
favoraite Eull, and determined to
show the farm hands that all that
was needed to bring him back to his
wonted dOcility was little kind treats
meDt and few gentle words spoken
to him.
The General, therefore, armed with
this determination, went forth to the
forty acre lot of which the bull was
the sole occupant, and climbing over
the staked and ri9eir.d fence v it'll dit
ficulty boldly advanced towards the
helligerent beast, which after regard
ing him with the most searching curl
osity for few moments, lowered his
head, threw sOme dirt over his back
with his fore boots, and uttering few
bellows which shook the earth ronnd
bout, started for the General, who
realizing that the bull regarded him
as the boldest sort of an invader, has
tily taced about aud made tracks tor
the fence. The bull seemed to divine
the Generals thoughts, aud hosting
his tail in the air came sweeping after
HIM like a cyclone. The General
realized his danger, and making as
good time as his game leg would adj
init he reached a large tree which
stood in corner of the fence and slid
behind it just as the bull knocked a
lot of bark off Of it with his butt
head.
Then came about half an hour of
of expert lodging from the inruriate
ed beast, during which he displayed
the activity of the short stop of a
champion baseball nine, but finally
several of the farm hands came up,
and getting the attention Of the bull,
the General was rescured from his
perilous position, a wiser IT not a
sadder man.
And the bull still the fort. ALBANY
