Georgia Scenes. Old Stanwix tells the following Georgia story, and vouches for its truthfulness . About thirty-three and a third 'ears age, there dwelt in one of the rural d t.tricts of Georgia, an old cod ger by the name of Butt Cut Taylor, who had foi nerly enjoyed the honors and emoluments pertaining to the office of Justice of Peace, the duties of which uffiue be diacharged with ac knowledged "aoilit)" and dignity; and vo far as his neighbors wors espa ble of judging, he appeared to be a very honen.t man. He had however acquired the h Lbit of "trumping up" accounts against the estates of those of his neighbo.s who were so unfortu. nate as to "ahuffie off thwir mortal coils" with'n the bounds of his baili wick. He had carried the practice to such an extent as to arouse a sus picion in the mitds of some of his meddlesome neighbors, that there might be something dead" somewhere in the "Peat of hi' -financial opera tions. Bob Crogan, who lived in the neighborhood, and "run" the post office at the cross roads, being some thing of a wag, and having an idea that the '8.quire's honesty should be j q uoted below par, tobcluded, with' tbe connivance and assistance of a. few conirades, to "thbearth the sly old fou,'" And expose his rascalities. Ao cordingly Bob pretended to die, was regularly shrouded and laid out on the cooling board in the most-approv ed faahion, and sorrowing friends pro. ceeded to spread the niews of his demise, which soon reached the ears of old Butt Cut. He lost no time in repairing to the hone of mourning,| carrying with him a "full and om p lete assortment" of 6ret class condo. lonce and sympathy for gratuitous distributiont amnos tio nmebes of the biareaved faily, and the manty sorrowing friendt'of the supposed do ceased, who were preosent when ho ar rived. After he- had' relieved his heart of him burden of healing words, and had succeeded in a tolerable ef fort at eryinig, and was about to leave the scene, he tenderly spoke as fol "Ah poor Bob ; I'm sorry he died, he was a good fetier, attd I salus lik edi him. Wheas we and hima went to the race at Augusta-naow nigh unto two years ago-I loaned him a hon. dred diollrd to Wet into a bay mare, and he lost and nieter paid me a cent of thbai money from that day to this, Poor fellow, he forgot It I reckon, but Its an honest det; of course 1 can get It out of his estate, and-" Buitt-Cut didn't finlish the sentence for just at this point Bob, the corpse, slowly raised up in his shroud, and stretched out hi. arms tuward the old rogue, as if to olutch him, yell ed: "You are an hnaleital. old liar, ad if.-" The din and roar drowned tbe lest, and old Butt Cut didn't wait to see or hear anything maore, but with the hurried esclamaetion, "god, diepaity," be shot through the door, burrried to his homte, "packed his traps," and not only left the neigh. horbood but 'the State of Georgia, furever.

An Immeuse crow: of persons illed the sidewalk above and below the hotel, collected partly by th) muosi of the band, and partly, perhaps, to create a demonstration in honor of the members of the committee. The marshals of the town, under an ordi. nance of the council, occupied them selves in an effort to keep the side. walks clear of the crowd, so as not to obstruct the usual passage of persona engaged on other business. Toward the clo:e of the demonstration, Wm. If. Snyder-one of the marshals while discharging this duty, met one Tom Johnson, colored, who refused to give way to the command of the officer of the law. Snyder then at. tempted to arrest him ; but Tom. re. fusing to acknowledge the supremacy of the law,jorked loose several times and attempted to force his way at the head of the crowd, whether or no. Upon a third attempt to arrest him he jerked Snyder's baton from his hand and knocked him down. Snyder then drew a pistol and fired five shots at the belligerent darkey wounding him in the face, shoulder, hand arm and back-each shot taking effect but not inflicting dangerous wounds. The balls have been extracted, and Tom is in a fair way to recover. After a special investigatiun of the facts before the town council, Mr. Snyder was exonerated of all blame in the matter, the shooting having occurred in the discarge of his duty an son officer of the town.- Yorkville Enguirer. We are informed by persons from Yorkville that,on last Saturday even ing, at the table of the King's Moun taiu Hotel, in that town, MNjor Jas. Berry, incensed at finding himself in close proximity to A. S. Wallace, soized a pitcher of buttermilk and dashed it into the face of that distin guished Cor'gressman. Wallace at once retired and procured a warrant for the Majors arrest. If it wouldn't be doing injuatice to a good, beverage by associating it with the name of so miserable a creature, we would sug. g et that hereafter he be known as uttermilk Wallace.-CIheshr Repor ter.

A Port Wayse, Indiana, club lhai uirghased a shell boat so light andc 4mtabanoed that "the ro, erp st 4mpelled to part thiV h'!rnti midle"asavoid unsetting A Georgia Tragedy. From the Albany News we learn that on Tuesday last a most horrible tr3gedy and murder occurred on M1 B. 11. Hill's "Mud Creek" plantation in that county, in which Mr. Rush the manager, and Paul Butler, a freedman. working on the place, were the parties, find both killed. On last Monday there was adiffioulty between the parties, in which the negro cursed the white man, and the latter struck him. On Tuesday morning, when the negroes were on their way to the field, #oine of then came up with Paul Butler, who had his gun otn his shoul der. He informed them that it was his intention to kill Mr. Rush as soot as he oamei out to the field. Hi friends argued the matter with him. and begged him to put his gun awa\ and go to wark, Ile refused to be gov'erned by their advice, and porsist a I in his murderous purpose swore he would kill Mr, R, at first sight. All hands then went to work except Paul, his brother len, his relative, Bet, Wade and his friend, Mose, Holt the latter three being accounted fo, at that time. Paul statione:d hiimeli a short distance fron the laborers. Mr. Rush rode up, and Paul advanced towards him, and addressed him with: "G-d d-n you, you shot at me yes terday for nothing, and I'm ready to shoot with you," whereupon, Mr. Rush replied : "Don't come any near er tme, stand back." Paul then said, "You stand bauel." Mr. H. then at tempted to draw his pistol, ind while in the act, Paul levelled his gun and fired, placing forty-eight deadly mis. siles in the breast, abdomen. neck and head of his victim-killing him in. stantly. Paul then ran to his mule, tied in the woods hard by, mounted it, with gun in hand, and made oft towards the "Hobbs P14ce," another one of M r. [lill's plantations, followed by the three missing negroes, Ben Butler, Ben Wade and Moses Holt, and perhaps some others. At a gate opening into the Hobbs plantation they found the dead body of Paul lying on one side of the gate and the gun on the other. The top of his head was blown off and his face b'irned with powder-showing unmistakably that he had come to his death by the accidental discharge of the remaining barrel while going through the gate on the mule. The testimony satiz-fied the jury that Ben Butler, Ben Wade and Moses Holt were accessories, and Deputy Sheriff Brown beirg present with a posse, proceeded at once to ar rest all three of them, and they are now in jail awaitiug examination. Driven insane by Dreams. It has been found necessary to take to an asylum a Detroit lady, who has been made insane by a dream. Her husband and one of her sons some time since were drowned at sea, and recently she dreamed that her son, who is a sailor, had been drowned. In her dteamn she saw him fall from the mast in a gale in the sea, and awoke with such a shriek of terror as to arouse the inmates of tire house. She slept bo more that night, but. roeked to and fro, umaning that "WVilliam was surely drowned, she knewv he was.'' The next day her relatives endeavored to banish her imnpress'on, and almrost succeeded in eenvitreing her that hrer boy was not only safe, but would soon be home, but that night the dream was repeat ed, and this time the mnother seemed to follow her boy aloft, and to fell with him from ette yard, sgain giving a shriek that brooughrt the house-bold into the bedroom, they luadinig her on t e floor in a St, Since then she has b ,n like onre stunned try rnews of so e a wful ealamrity.
