EARTHQUAKES IN GEORGIA - Milledgeville and
Macon were visited with slight shocks of an earthquake on the 20th. In
regard to the one in Macon, the Citizen of the 21st, says: "There
seems to be some doubt whether the phenomena which occurred here yesterday
morning was an earthquake or the effect of some meteorite explosion overhead.
At Gordon, Milledgeville, and Forsyth, the same shaking of houses, and
rumbling noise like heavy distant thunder, took place, and a correspondent
from Forsyth says that some of the villages there distinctly heard the
noise over their heads: "The first shock took place here about 6½
A.M., and a second slight one about half an hour afterwards. The house
we live in trembled and rocked like a strong man in convulsions, leading
to the supposition that it was an earthquake, and nothing else. The direction
of the vibration was from southwest to northeast." Of the one in Milledgeville,
the Recorder, of the 21st, says: " "The first, which was alarmingly perceptible,
occurred about 6:20 o'clock; the last shock, which was very slight, was
felt about half an hour later. An old (he would be offended were we to
say "the oldest" ) inhabitant says a severe shock had not been experienced
at this place since 1810. It was very fitly described by a little child,
who observed, "Papa! the house is riding off."

Murder! ---$500 Reward!!
WILL, be paid for the apprehension of George
Slaughter, who murdered William
E. Green, on the 24th December last, at Rogers Store, Laurens county,
Ga. He has since been pursued as far as Jacksonville, Fla, where it was
ascertained that he sold his horse and gun, about 30 miles from the above
named place, and then went on to Jacksonville and put up at a hotel for
the purpose of taking a boat. On the day that the boat left for Charleston
(touching only at Florandina) he was seen to go on the boat sometime before
its departure, but the captain and managers can give no account of him
of the voyage, so it is supposed he went aboard and came off again in order
to deceive his pursuers, and is still lurking about in Florida, or Dale
county, Ala., where he has relatives or somewhere in Georgia. At Jacksonville
he assumed the name of John Thompson.

Obituary. Departed this life,
on the morning of the 7th inst., after a severe illness of 20 days, of
Typhoid Fever, at the residence of her father, in Wilkinson county, Ga.,
Miss Martha Ann Elizabeth,
oldest daughter of Wm. W. and Elizabeth D. Pierce, in the 20th year
of her age. At the time of her death, she was a consistent member of the
Baptist Church, to which she united herself in 1854, and had lived a faithful
member ever since, and in her last moments she spoke to her parents, relatives
and friend, not to weep for her. "For we know that if our house of this
tabernacle is dissolved, we have a building of God-a house not made with
hands, eternal in the Heavens" 5th chap., 1st verse Paul to Cor.
She leaves to mourn her loss, a large
circle of friends, as there was none who know her but liked her. As she
lived, she died, a Christian, and passed from our sight.
"Weep not for me my parents, dear,
I am not dead, but sleepeth here."
