AND HKTAIL 1KA1.I:JS IN LUMBER, Shingles, Lath, Mouldings, Posts, Windows, Doors, Blinds, Lime, Hair and Paints. Yesterday (piite an unusual sight, and one very attractive to the little street gamins, was presented in our city.

It was two men and one boy, who, by their difference in size formed a rather peculiar and comical looking trio. The lirst suspicion that something out of the ordinary routine was going on was caused by a crowd "of band wagon boys'' dodging in and out of the walk as they hurried up Broad street. The next moment a large man, fully six feet in height, hove in sight. Then1 was nothing peculiar about his appearance, and we Were at. a loss for a time to determine the cause of the amusement of the boys.

Directly behind the man came another, who appeared to he not half us tall as ii in companion. Then came a little boy seeming about two feet in height, but in form was a mina-ture of our High Sheriff. The two latter seemed accustomed (o the stares and rude, unbecoming laugh of the crowds, and passed them with an air of indll'erence that would do credit to Tom Thumb. The last two are father and son, and belong to the dwarfish family of Troup County. The father Mr.

K. M. Darnell, lives a few miles ahove West Point, is 41) years of age, and is only four feet and four inches high. He has four children, two of whom (boys) inherit their father's imperfect stature. One is 12 years old, and his stature is thirty-one inches; the other and measures thirty-three inches in height.

The eldest of these two children is atllictcd with malformation and disease of the spine. The mother is live feet high, and the other children are of the ordinary height. Exchange. CONSUMPTION OF WOOD FOR FUEL. The Census liureau lias been gathering some facts upon this subject.

After taking the figures in our last annual for the coal output, the Superintendent says; "Even with the large increase in the conl production during the last half century, wood still keeps in the van as fuel, the consumption in this country being in favor of wood against conl in the proportion of four to one. In Maine. New Hampshire and wood is almost the only fuel. In many counties of Massachusetts coal is ahead of wood, while in the States generally, as well as Connecticut, the percentage, is about ecpial. Thickly populated cities, like New York, and Hudson and Essex counties.

New Jersey, containing the cities of Jersey City and Newark, are put down as entirely coal. In Pennsylvania, the great coal State, there nre nuiny entirely coal counties, while in others, as Crawford, in the western part of the Stale, not oyer three per cent, of coal is used. The same dill'erence holds with stone basement, all built of the best material and evidently put together for endurance, ami safety. Tin1 basement is used for the steam-heating apparatus which has been put in at great expense; for the storage of conl and still there is plenty of room left, which may yet be utilized. The lirst mid second floors are used for school rooms which are four in number, and they arc all lilted up with the most approved styles of furniture and apparatus.

There are well arranged wardrooms, and spacious halls and stairways, anil, in fact, no house in the land is better arranged, so far as the school rooms proper, are concerned than this. The outside of (lie house looks neat in its caps of white stone and is in excellent keeping with the inside looks. The roof is of tin, which makes it safe from lire.
