DISTRESSING CASUALTY - The Southern
Presbyterian, published at Milledgeville, Ga., on the 29th ult., has the
following: "A very solemn and afflicting dispensation of Providence occurred,
we learn, at Oglethorpe University on Wednesday last. Two of the students,
Mr.L. P. M'Cutchen and Mr.
P. B. Luce were going to their boarding house to breakfast, when a
sudden thunder shower overtook them. The lightning struck the umbrella
under which they were walking shivered it to atoms, and the fluid entering
at the top of the cap of Mr. Luce and passing down on his left side and
on the right side of the other, killed them both on the spot."
"They were room-mates and members
of the Freshman Class; both of them lovely, pious and promising young men,
and candidates for the Christian Ministry. On returning from their morning
recitation they had retired as was their daily custom, and united in prayer.
It was but a few minutes after they had risen from their knees and left
their dormitory, that the awful calamity occurred. When they were found
by their fellow-students, they were lying side by side on their faces,
with their arms still locked together. "They were lovely in their lives,
and in their death they were not divided."

has given examples of christian and pious conduct, though severed from
the dearest ties on earth, and his wife and children feel the afflicting
band of Providence, still there is no doubt but that he is new attended
by the angelic throng in worlds of bliss. No temptation could even induce
him to swerve from the strictest course of moral duty-in temper and manner,
he was kind and gentle, esteemed as a neighbor, and beloved as a friend-as
a husband, he was loving and affectionate-as a father, he was kind, indulgent,
but faithful to his trust, in all the relations in which he was place in
life, he acted well his part.
He exhorted his friends and
children to glorify God, an live to the glory of God-he had a longing desire,
to go home to heaven; his last words were, "he was going to his sweet Jesus."

EARTHQUAKES IN GEORGIA - Milledgeville and

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 on 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."

Death of B. R. Gardner, Esq., of Milledgeville
The Savannah Morning News,
of April 16th says: "We regret to learn thatB.
R. Gardner, Esq., a well known and highly respected citizen of Milledgeville,
was killed in Sparta yesterday morning, by a man by the name of O. J.
Powell. Mr. Gardner, who was formerly a resident of Sparta, was in
that town for the purpose of transacting some business in the Inferior
Court. A misunderstanding in a reference to some pecuniary matter had previously
existed between him and Powell, which is supposed to have been the cause
of the killing. Mr. G. was shot in the street. Our informant, who left
Sparta directly after the melancholy affair, is unable to give us an particulars,
except that he heard four discharges of a pistol, which, as the deceased
was an inoffensive man, who never went armed, he supposes to have been
fired by Powell. He does not know whether Powell has been arrested.
"Mr. Gardner was a wealthy
and highly esteemed citizen, and was extensively known in the middle section
of the State. He leaves a wife and an interesting family of children. His
death is deeply deployed by the community of Sparta."

TRIAL OF MRS HUDSON
(Sparta) The trial of this woman for commitment
for the murder of John Bass of this county came up on Saturday last,
before
Justices Little, Berry and Turner. Cain appeared for the
prosecution and DuBose for the defendant.
The only evidence of much force,
as we understand, was a youth of some twelve years of age, the son of Mr.
Bass. He stated that Mrs. Hudson came to his father's on the morning of
the second instant and went into the kitchen. Bass followed her, and asked
if wanted to shoot at him again, rubbing his fist in her face. She
drew a pistol and Bass retreated behind the door. She following him and
shot him in the left breast. He died instantly.
We suppose other witnesses must have
been before the court, favorable to the prisoner, of which we know nothing,
as they admitted her to bail in the nominal sum of $800. Her father, Mr.
Josiah Collins, who is a planter of respectable means, stood her security.
Her husband, Mr.Josiah Collins (wrong,
this should be Mr. Joseph Hudson,) is now in Milledgeville Jail
for shooting a man at the city ferry. She demeaned herself during
the trial as one who had about as much interest in it as any of the bystanders.
She appears to be about 25 years of age, is good looking and had nothing
in her countenance that indicates the heart of a murderer.
(Note she was sent to prison Oct. 18, 1859.)
