While a country mule was enjoying his noon repast yesterday, in front of Watt A Walker’s store, a city cow took the liberty of joining him. The mule, not liking such familiarity on so short an acquaintance, set hack his ears and attempted to give tho cow a reproof by biting her. The cow suddenly threw up her head and one of her horns en tered the mule’s mouth and pierced his upper jaw, terribly lacerating it. The mule, while badly injured, was not fa tally hurt. We would adviso country mures not to be too selfish when city cows offer to assist them at meal times. X»n Dr©**. We present our paper this morning in its new dress throughout, and we think all will be satisfied with its clean and neat appearance. The Enquirer was established in 1828, and never in its history has it had so large a number of subscribers and readers as now. The result in its long life has been the ab sorption of all Columbus journals to three years. It has prospered while others have gone down. It is now con ducted on a more enterprising scale than ever. It is the only paper which lias ever taken all the dispatches of the Associated Press, and this lias only been done since the present proprietors took charge. Our merchants should bear in mind their country friends are now visitin Columbus to dispose of their cotton and lay in supplies, and you should let them know where they can obtain the latter by informing them through Circulars and Handbills printed at Gilbert's Office. Loudenber’s are the best. 5 cents Havana Cigars Candy manufactured for wholesale or retail trade by Layfield. The “Weal herbv Hal" Is the prettiest and latest style that is in the market.

Stockton was tried for lunacy, and the verdict of the jury, after hear- ; the evidence, was that the unfortu nate man is a demented inebriate, and a fit subject for the asylum. The jury was Dr. W. W. Flewellen, B. F. Cole man, R. L. Mott, J. W. Cargill, J. A. Bradford, G. E. Willis, T. J. Hines, J, E. Blount, J. N. Barnett, A. M. Brannon uni J. W. Pease. Who Bun* (he Bu*ine** Now 7 Bead P. B.

This, we are informed, was a great surprise to some connected with the road. The Favorite E»tabli*hiiieat. Wc noticed that each day of last week Blanchard A Hill were crowded with both country and city customers, attest ing that what we have said of them was true—that they kept the very best se lected stock of dry goods in the city, ind at the most reduced rates. No where will you be more courteously waited upon than at this house. It seems to be their object to make all business transactions assume as pleas ant a guise as possible. Now I* the Time To have your Magazines and Music bound. Most of the volumes of the former are drawing to a close, and be fore some of the numbers are lost, you should secure all by having them bound in Substantial and Beautiful Volumes at Gilbert’s Office. All Non I* Day and the C'atholie Cere monial. We have received a note from Father John, regardiug the ceremonials of the Catholics on “All Souls” day (Friday) from which wc take these, premising that, though written Friday wc did not see it until yes-terday. “Now about the procession. I do not know if it will take place, but if it does, it is not a thorough religious procession. No banners, no badges, no society after so ciety, no songs, no uniforms. We go as children one family to show our undying affection to our fathers, mothers, brethren and because we believe in the doctrine of a transient expiation. We go, not to decorate with flowers insensible stones, hut to pray over the tombs where our better feelings are excited, and we pray for relief of those who are still in expiation. When my Catholics understand more and more tills beautiful faith, such a mourning procession, without any show, will be edifying. ' We have not a cemetery of our own. We have many Cotholics in the citj- cemeterv. Under the Catholic ritual the earth which covers the remains belong ing to souls, friends of God, we hope, must be sanctified by the lustra! water. Formerly our Catholics were buried in the Catacombs, then in churches, and when civilization banished the dead from the cities, they procured in quantities dust from Holy Land. The first cemetery out of the cities was that of Bologna, Italy, and the surface of it had been all covered over with Palis- tine dust. We cannot have such luxuries, and must be contented with blessing our covering dust with holy water. This is what I am going to do this (Friday) af ternoon—a very simple, unostentatious ceremony, which is not in the least a display, lmt a work of affection and faith. Let me now give you a concise notion of our faith in the holy water. The wa ter is made holy by the blessing of the Church. It is mixed with blessed salt to save it from corruption. So blessed, it is a sacramental water—not one of the seven sacraments (for we have sac raments and sacramental!a)—and has the power to protect our bodies, vest ments, and other material things from the contact of evil spirits. Thus comes the praetiee’of aspergillus—sprinkling the congregation with holy water before the holy service, and that of blessing houses, beds, vestments, ct<*. When God punished the temptorof Adam and Eve and condemned him to rawl in the dust, tlio Evil took posses sion of tho dust. This is liis kingdom. Thence it is that he has so much influ ence in the flesh of man, for it is lint dust. He cannot have power on what ever is probated by God. This holy water is the hand of God stretched over our dust, so this is protected from the power of the evil spirits. Such is our kith.” “Sunday night at 7 o’clock, I shall ,’cpoat again the service for the dead. You r reporter will be able to see and report everything. I will be glad of it.” The procession alluded to took place Friday afternoon. Wo think we shall take advantage of Father John’s courteous invitation and call on him Sundav. That Yeni*o Brate, Owen Wright. We have been able to learn nothing farther of Owen Wright’s execution, but it is certain he is dead, and equally true, that lie deserved his late. It is generally thought from tho expression of his captor’s intentions that he was burned at the spot where he outraged the helpless lady. When he was being carried to Seale from Atlanta, a gentle man in Columbus advised him to con fess; that the lady could not fail to identify a face like his, which was so brutally repulsive. He replied with most horrible oaths that he had not committed the crime. The same gentleman saw him in Seale, after lie had been taken from jail, and in a blacksmith shop the lady had picked him out among a number of other negroes, and reminded him of what had been said in Columbus. “Well, by G—d,” insolently answered the negro, “She recognized me.” It is not the first time such acts have been committed in that county, and it was necessary, for the protection of wo men on isolated farms, that summary punishment should he inflicted. It was out of the question to wait for the law’s slow delays, the quibbles of counsel and legal technicalities, and a possible sending to the penitentiary. He acted a brute and he was, and he ought to have been killed like any other mad animal. GEORGIA NEWS. played Loudenber’s 5 cents Havana CR take the lead. Black Silks! CLEARING OUT SALE!

Three doses will re lieve auv ease, and we consider it the duty of all Druggist to recommend it to the poor dying consumptive, at least to try one bottle, as 40,000 dozen bottles were sold last year, and no one case where it failed was reported. Such a medicine as the German Syrup can not be too widely known. Ask your Druggist about it. Sample 1 Kittles to try sold at 10 cents. Regular size 75 cents.

GEORGE W. BROWN. GILBERT’S PRINTING OFFICE -AND- BOOK - BINDERY, New Code of Alabama. Mobile Register.] The printed volume contains in all 1,320 pages; of these,184 are exclusive ly devoted to organic laws, both of the State and United States, and to the practice of the several courts; 860 pages consist of the general statutes; and 276, printed in small type, cover the index or table of contents—but if proper allowance lie made for the dif ference of type between that index and the body of the work, the table of contents would lie found equal to about three-eighths of the whole work, a proportion never before reached in any previous Digest. Another difficulty, however, hap pens in the way of'the usefulness of that bulky publication, resulting from the fact that, after the death of Judge Wood, one of the original Commissioners, the Governor ap pointed Mr. Roquemore to continue the work in collaboration with Chan cellor Keyes; but the latter, denying the Governor’s right to make such appointment, refused to let Mr. Roquemore participate in the codifi cation, and proceeded alone to its completion. This “imbroglio” resulted in a “double barrel” certificate, severally and separately signed by Messrs. Keyes and Roquemore, and referring to the “errors” in the text, as found in the body of the volume, Mr. Keyes reports in his “errata” not exceeding twelve, while Mr. Roquemore an nounces on the other hand that hav ing only had the chance to see the proof sheets of less than one-tliird the whole text, he has ’found in that por tion not less than two hundred and fifty errors, some of which grossly alter the text. Our Supreme Court has often ruled that whenever the printed text of a statute is claimed to be incorrect, the i only remedy is the production, by certified copy, of the original text of the Statute itself, and if that too is so distorted as to lie unintelligi ble, then the Statute is void for want of a proper'enuneiation of the legis lative will. This difficulty will, in many in stances, and to clear the doubts re sulting from those contradictory cer tificates from the two Commissioners, compel litigants to produOe copies of the Statutes they invoked and thus increase the delays and costs of litiga tion. These remarks are not intended to reflect 011 the ability of either or both the Commissioners, but to call the Governor’s attention to the facts, and warn him against too hasty a procla mation giving this new code full force and effect as the solemn law of the land. —The Augusta Chronicle and Con stitutionalist thus quotes railway bonds; Georgia Railroad 7s, 104 (£106 asked ; Georgia Railroad 6 per cent., 100 and int. asked; Macon and Au gusta, 1st mortgage, 90 ; endorsed by Georgia Railroad, 96; endorsed by Georgia and .South Carolina Railroad, 93(£ 94; Port Royal Railroad, 1st mortgage, gold 7s, endorsed by Georgia Railroad, 78(5 79; Atlanta and West Point Ss, 104; Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta, 1st mortgage, 7s, 72(£73; 2d mortgage, 60 asked; Central, Southwestern and Macon anil Western, 1st mortgage, 7s, 101; West ern Railroad of Alabama, endorsed by Georgia and Central, DSC 99; Mont gomery and West Point, 1st mort gage, 99(£ 100.
