tlseuient. "No change" and "name as last '

year, re-assessment having bevn ordered. No ry
property except that which Is returned will ij;
be passed upon by the Auditor. Property not
returned, the old valuation will be taken and c
-50 per cent. added thereto, and that amount wl
rharged upon the books, where it will stand u (
Ave years, (as regards Heal Estate). 80 do not
put off making the returns, it will require less

Although the wmther has been exceed- W

Tlie ReffisUr would lead us to believe So
tlint the citizens of Columbia have greater ?n
cause of complaint than any other town or rr.f
city. It seems that the water has been drawn P"
off the canal for the purpose of widening It. P1(
The filth thus expowd on the bottom of the
canal, together with the great quantities of
mud which Is being thrown out and exposed ,K)
to the rays of the sun Is well calculated to ex- j*1

Ur On yesterday we were surprised by an ac

ties which he had not exercised to ttic sllghtng
est extent prior to t his occasion. Influenced
by no doubt l).v that natural human passion for
It- the miraculous, our first impulse was to write
nn up the story exactly as it h d been delivered
in- to us, without further inquiry, lest a ruthless
investigation of the stubborn fact-i should
mar the delicate tissue of this strange fabric.
?. Hut a recurrence to our mind of the childish
horror we used to experience us a school boy
on reading, "The story of the lllaclt Crows,"
prompted us to a different course. AecordS,
in civ. in company with Dr. S. lender, It. II.
\V. Hodges and other distinguished gentlcyS
men of tills community, we proceeded this
morning to the scene of this reputed miracle,
is- where arriving about!! a. m. we found Marcus
seated under the shade of a large oak tree
In front, of a cabin, enjoying a delicious
of breeze, awaiting our expected appearance,
m- and surrounded by chairs, wiiich his klns'd.

ranged for our accommodation. Col. Iiodges
pt and I at. once recognized him as the deafit'
mute whom we had met and conversed with
ty- for some time at the Williamston depot 011
so the preceding Tuesday.
?re Imagine our surprise when we heard from
ng the Hps we hail so lately deemed sealed by
is j mysterious nature, A courteous aeknowledgto
i ment In well pronutinecd and otherwise very
to I respectable English of reciprocal recognition.
We Immediately began with Inquiries in re"s,
gard to such facts as would throw light on
he this most wonderful change, and afteraproror
traded and most rigid Investigation the foled
lowing, which we deem facts were deduced,
n- Marcus Johnson was born about the year

clnity of Columbia his condition attracted
the sympathy of one Mr. T. II. Coleman, of
Ridge way. Kalrtleld County, who is likewise
deaf, and by the by, an Intimate friend of
your correspondent. This gentleman with a
x- view to having Marcus Instructed In letters
"ii and thus mitigating his hapless lot., carried
m liitn to Augusta Georgia, and through the
UK mayor of that city procured l'or him transportation
to Atlanta, from this point the klnd I
ness of ex-Governor Brown secured for hint
Jll passage to Knoxville, Tennessee, and admls11
sion into the celebrated institution for the
of education of the deaf and dumb, located at
'?-1 thatcity. Here ho received (> years Instrucii(*
lion according to the plan of deaf-mute edu*
cation, known :is the articulating method. In
id which he made remarkable. progress as is
>* evinced by his present almost uniformly corn
rect pronunciation of all words, with whose
"e- use he Is acquainted. 3 years ago Dr. T. XV.
:s' Varnell of Knoxville an aural surgeon, made
| an examination lor uie purpose ui ucimminlng
the canse of deafness In Marcus which
resulted in the discovery that an Indenture
re immediately over the right ear, made in Jn">
i fancy, had caused a compression of the audi?'
I tory organs,thus coni)?letely obstructing the
ur | sense of hearing, which was found tobeconn'*
slltutionally normal. Dr. Varnell immedl;
ately began a course of treatment Thisconl.v
| sisled first In the removal of the compressing
id j portion of the skull by the surgical instru's|
mentcalled the trepan, and subsequently in
111 j the use of a liquid injected three times a day
"n i in the ear. Theuseofthe liquid was contln"e
ued one year, when the patient says he was
j able to hear It thunder. Kncouraged by Ibis
it* | success the trivially Injections were kept up,
though without apparent success.
ni on Wednesday the 25th ult., having reeel
ved his diploma from Prof. Newsome, the
er principal of the Knoxville Institute, he set
s, out on his return to his friends in this county
no1 abandoning at the same time the use of the
or | liquid, whose application had been so dillk'e
j gently observed, seemingly to no purpose.
|>S I Near Atlanta lie fell with violence from a
rapidly moving coach and received a severe
s* shock which may, or may not iiuve been, inI'c
strumental in bringing about the marvelous
K change of last Thursday evening. No und
I usual symptoms, however, were experienced
V* until Tuesday the first of July, when as he dels
clares he heard the whlstleoi the locomotive
ft as It rolled up to Helton. On Thursday at 12
I'l | m. he was attacked with a headache and
Vs strange drowsiness during which at times a
rumbling sound disturbed his rest. At7 p.m.
as rumor had already informed us a violent
convulsion supervened, followed as we have
before stated, Immediately by a partial, and
"j-1 finally by n complete bestowal of hearing.
jTlie possession of speech we attribute to the
' r instructions received at Knoxville. This

i ted States, as shown by the oifir.iul trecunir)/
,c{Ht(UrwciU, was In round numbers S9S!,0tK),000,

the South did not then participate In the use

V rate of per capita. 111 1*73 it was .5750,L'S
(Hi2,and about Sltf.OO per capHa. in 1S78, it
>e was kSS,51?7,U75, and at the rate of only about
a ?!!.7.j per capita. These timircs are taken
to from the official treasury statements. and. if
!'t they arc true, It shows tliat the currency has
"f been contracted since IM>5 from S-l!? per capita
to 314.75 percapita in IsTrt; and from per
"i capita In 1873 to $11.70 per capita in 1K78. If

1,1 News and Courier talis to !lie ground.
If desired, I can and will furnish Itemized

THE WONDER\)F WONDERS.
A Denf-Mnte Suddenly Speaks.
[ Williainston Standard.] I
The truth of the following wonderful story
is established by the testimony of many of
our best citizens, beyond a shadow of a doubt.
Marcus Johnson, as he now calls himself,
was bom a slave of Col. T. E. Ware, deceased,
of Greenville County twenty-three years ago.
He remained in Uic service of the family till
he was fifteen years old, making a useful
hand about the farm, and frequently driving
a teain to Williamston, the nearest railroad
station. He was well-known as a deaf-mute
by all our citizens of thnt time.
Eight years ago, he mysteriously disappeared.
No one knew Ills whereabouts. His
mother had 110 tidings of him, until last Monday
week, he readied the homo of his uncle,
'* ' * f -*? *?? ft-am H11 m?tnn
I |-,UmOIHl .IOIIUH, tnu lliuvn II ..... ..... , .
furnished n< w with a slate and pencil, by
means of which he had in the menu time
been taught to communicate with otiiers. On
the afternoon of the :h d Inst., ho complained
of feeling extremely badly. "His head seemed
about to burst with pain; and he was
stunned with dreadful noises." After several
hours of this ngouy, his extremities became
cold, his whole frame was convulsed with
paroxysms, ho lost his consciousness, and
was thought to be dying. But, in an hour or
so, he rallied, and quite audibly, though not
very distinctly, asked for a drink of water.
This was alter nightfall. Hever.il times
through the night, he uttered short .expressions,
feeling a sense of weariness 'after each
etfort.
On the 4th, he continued to exercise his
new Rift, with increased frequency, clearness,
and case.
Since then, quite a number of our citizens
have conversed with him at different times,
eliciting many points of great Interest, only
a few or which our space permits us now to
give.
He says that he found that Mr. Arnold, Col.
Ware's son-in-law, was about to rno^eaway,
and that., fearing he would want to take him
with him, he determined to make his escape.
Hegotaboard thetrain, not knowing whither
bound. Landing In Columbia, he supported
himself some lime chopping wood. He there
inet a young Mr. Coleman, who had been totally
deafened by meningitis, and who took
hhn to Augusta, and interested the Mayor In
his behalf. He sent him to Atlanta, to the
aire of Gov. Brown, who got him a place as a
impil in the Tennessee Institution for DeafMutes
.at Knoxvllle, there bolm; then no provision
for the education of colored nvutes in
Georgia. He remained In this Institution
until two weeks ago.
Soon after his arrival at Knoxvllle, he says,
a surgical operation was performed upon his
head, intended to enable him to hear. We
have inquired of the surgeon as to the nature
and object of this operation, which we will
explain to our readers, if practicable.
Marcus (jives evidence of having been thoroughly
taught, and shares In the amazement
of us all at the strango capacity so suddenly
