To speak of an aflhlr that is impossible to do Jus tice to Is embarrassing to the reporter, aud TBE aECEPTION of those affairs, where the host i-flowed bis ability to make not only bis young dootors feel they regretted that the time had come when pro fessor and student must part, bnt that they had to r their social relations with a gentleman who to them like brother as well as preceptor. The relations between the profeseors and students lure been of the most pleasant nature, and we are pleased to know that it has been the endeavor of the Faculty of the Atlanta Medical College to make these yonng who are strangers in onr midst, feel that they are among friends, and that they leave us with good wishes and kind feeliugs for the College. THE ETENINO was spent in the most convivial and social manner- good supply of wine having been provided, which was patronized in a gentlemanly manner by the Mends of Dr. Orme and the graduating class. Then e music. And inch music! Col. Lowe electrified those pres ent with some of the very beat old-time, sool-atir- ring, foot-moving music—such music as we used to listen to in the good old days when tho country was free—when the people were happy, and one good people occasionally indu'ged in a quilting or < shucking. Tbcu came DU. BILLUPS the old, honest banjo—an instrument that is dear to tho boys raised on the "old plantation”—which he handled in a manner that reminded na of "old tiinea." Everybody felt happy when he touched the strings and brought out musio that we heard when honest people ruled the oountry, and when a man never got too poor to appreciate genuine harmony. The evening was a perfect ovation of ploasure.— Everybody appreciated tho occasion, and went homo full of praise of the generosity of Dr. Ormo to the students. A Jolly Fellow. Yesterday a one-legged man applied to several gentlemen hero tor assistance to get on to Texas. We learn that one gen tleman-high in municipal authority at this time—procured the poor crippled Confederate free transportation as far aa West Point, and besides, gave him a quarter of a dollar. Another gentleman present, who knows something about roll ing mills gave him another quarter, and some one else ten cents. The poor Tex an wont to a hotel to wait for the morn ing train. Becoming a Little dry, he in vested about forty-five cents of his ready cash in benzine, which had a glorious effect, and whon tho polios get there he was making it lively for the gneeta by threnting to kill the entire party.

The Judge aiso exhibited some very rich s]>ecimens of quartz rock, in whieh could readily be seen traces of tho precious metal. He is enthusiastic on the subject, uud evidently has sub- tantial cause for his enthusiasm. riHST METHODIST UHUKCH. T.o. ill itnd IKur.lucMH Notice*. OGi- NEWS FROM EUROPE.-Dr. L. H.

( Hr. 1 Irwtjteht.—Dear Sir : From one of my friends I have learned your addreae, and from him have received a few potties of yonr celebrated Female Regulator, and its excellent properties for coring certain diseases of the fair sex have been oommuutcated to me.

Not only in my own family, but also in other families this side of tho Atlantic have tho snmo happy results been effec- ted, nntil now the last 1 Kittle has been used up, and I can no longer supply those who have made demand* for the medicine.

The following note from Mr. Parkins, tho well-known arohiteot, only confirms the opinions we expressed yesterday morning in relation to the condition of the First Methodist Church. A great many rumors have had circulation in re gard to this new building, bnt we think the following will satisfy the most skep tical: EditobsScn:—It being reported that the main tower walla of the First M. E. Church had "settled" and given away in oonseqnence ot the severe storm of Sat- urday night, I take this occasion to say that I have made a thorough examina tion, in presence of the Building Com mittee, and find that there is not the slightest danger involving the security or safety of the walla—that the breaking off of the outer course or casing at the base of the buttresses on the main tower, doe* not in tho least effect the center or main wall, whioji are safo and sound. The main tower is constructed in lucli a manner that it would be hard to oonceive how it oould fall; the walls at the base being three feet and eight inobee thiek, and resting upon a solid rock. Had the foundation "settled,” it is apparent that vertioal cracks woald have exhibited themselves at the angles of tho corner buttrossea. In my opinion, the walls will stand until taken down by hands. W. H. Panama, Arohiteot Tli« Halit Mtorui. Undoubtedly the heaviest and most ter rific Btorm of rain fell on Saturday that has visited this section for years. It had' rained, moro or leas, the whole of the day and up to 2 o'clock aj night at about which time it descended in floods' and continued that way until after daylight yesterday morning. Tho streets have never been washed as clean, and its effects will materially assist the Sanitary Com mittee iu their work of cleaning up. MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH. NOON.
