G. W. SIRRINE, Superintende March 7-2mos A JCOKY FN.-On a farm at Islarnd Shoals, Ga., Samuel Me Daniel, a young farmer, was in the field ploughing. His plough caught in some Obstructiol. Urging on the mule, lie dragged forth a five gallon jug. The jug had a cork stopper. sealed, an(d a piece of tin (oubled over it, witn a wire fasten ed round it, making it perfectly secure. McDaniel was anxious to know what. was in it, sohe took his heel-screw off his plough and twist ,ed off the wire. This enabled him to take out the cork. H Ie then plac ed the jug on a stump, and apply ing his lips tasted the best brandy he lia( ever tasted. So captivated was he that he drank iseveral times, aind at last the liquor overcoming him he slipped down asleep at the' foot of the stunp. Failing to come in to dinner the mother went out to the field after him, when lie was a-1 bort wvaking up. Together they gave the jug another examination, when Mrs. McDaniel's attention vas attracted to its great wNeight. An investigation showad the pres ence of 1 ,00 five dollar gold pice es, making a total of S9,50'). The mystery was cleared up in a sin gular manner. McDanial's grand father was a captain in the Florida war. It was known that Ie was wealthy before he left. On news of his deiath in one of the battles wit h the Ind'ians his heirs could LiuId no trace of his money. The fact that N*care after his granidsonr and heir should have found his fortuie is a singular incident. --The City of Spartanhurgsbib cd ,.-13,000 Io the stock of th Spartan burg & Ash;'ville Hail road, upon coI Iition thI it the shops of t h 1 companfly wvere permanently(11 I er'ctedl at t hat ion Railroad pasedl undier thme cotrol of the Cohanbia & Greenmville Road the( shops) we're removed to Cohnnmbiai.
