Board of Health—no Mketiso.—Having noticed a call for a special meeting of the Board of H-alth at the Recorder’s Court r« om at haif-past three o’clock p. m. yesterday, the appointed time, found this repor ter ready, willing and waiting to give the public their a u.ioga aud doings.

The humerus was dislocated at the shoulder joint, but did not result in any perma nsnt injury. Dr. Pinckney reduced the dislocation within half an hour after the accident occurred, and- the man is now getting aloDg very well. Trade Increasing.—It was the general remark of a large number of dealers with whom we conversed on the subject yesterday, that trade is steadily increasing. The reaction is located at a week or ten days ago. This it doubtless occasioned by the fact that the farmer is through work in Lis crop and avails himself of the opportunity of coming to the city to purchase his nectary supplies of dry goods, grocer is, etc. The merchants are gratified at the change and wear a cheer ful countenance. W. H. Lrothebton sells Ladies’ and Gi-nta* White Black and Colored Kid Gloves, superior quality, a 50c.; Bishop and Victoria Lawns 20.; striped and figured Cambrics 12%c. ; 4-4 bleached Domestic 12c. 16 bone French wo.en Corsets 65c. ; best Prints 11 %c. white satin-striped Pique at one-half its value; 11-4 white Marseilles Quilts, $1 25, and all other goods at corresponding reduced rates.

As nsnal, on these occasions, a special train will start from West Point early in the morning of that day for the accommodation of the families of the stockholders, who may wish to -visit Atlanta. From a private letter just received from LaGrange, we learn that quite a crowd will come up from that little city, and one in particular, whose pres ence just at this time would be a source of incalcula ble pleasure to another we wot of. However, the People of Atlanta are al ways glad to have their friends from the country visit them, and will do what they can to make their excursion a pleasant affair. United Stitics Commissioner’* Court. Ctmmiasioner W. B. Smith yi sterdsy investigated the charge of removing empty stamped barrels, against J. J. Calioway, of Powder Springs, Cobb county. He was arrested in Marietta yesterday. He was requested to give bond in $1,000. C >L J. S. Thomas for the gov ernment; J. A. Tulhsou for the defendant. The case against 3- A. Pinion, for working in a dis tillery, was dismissed. On the charge agaiDst him for the same offense he waived and ex*mination and gave lond in one hun dred dollars. Geo. K Thomas for the government; Hill k Codey for tbe defense. Commissioner Conley investigated a case against Mesars. Henry and Marion Evans, charged with retail ing without Jicens•• The witnesses against them failed to appear, and they were discharged. 8ad Bereavejcknt.—We regret to chronicle the fact that Mrs. Botnar. wife of Lieutenant F. J. Bomar, died on Monday night last. She was an amiable lady, universally esteemed for the noble traits of character which she possessed. and though her suffering was long and painful, sh* bore it with Christ.an fortitude and met her fate with calm resignation. During the whole of her protracted illness her kind and devoted husband was ever at her bedside, ministering to her wanta and endeavoring to alleviate her suffering. “Death lovea a shining mark,” snatched her and left Lieutenant Bomar alone and disconsolate—there were no children from the nnion. The remains of the de ceased were yesterday convened to Villa Rica for inter ment. To the bereaved husband and relatives we tender heartfelt sympathy and condolence in this their •ad affliction. Practical Benevolence. THE WIDOW CITY POLICE COURT. “And alow and dower still, day after day, Come the tad houra with beauteous upturned eyes, Gleaming with hopes they may not realize, And seeming in their earnestness to say Entreating: “Ob, send us not away All empty-handed as we came; arise Gi™ »t least, some promise we shall prize, To be fulfilled, though after long delay.” And slow and Blower still, day after day, does the Honorable Recorder make his appearance, and the hours are sad aa we wait for him. The prisoners in the ”pigeon holes” are anxious to eome to judgment, and Jonson has worked himself into s red hot fever sad sends for the erer-ready Mayor, who comes suf fused with smiles and blushes to dispense justice with a firm and untrembling hand. Hardly had the first case been called, when in steps the Recorder* just from West End, where he had been fishing all morning. His appearance indicated the usual “fisher man’s luck,” and aa he took the thronG he wiped the perspiration from hia classic brow, and commenced where Hammock left off. This waa a case against Ada Montgomery, a ysllow complected institution, who had nsed very abusive language towards Miss Ella MitcheU, another Institu tion of Ada’s way of wearing her bustle. A* It amounted to nothing she was fined only one dollar and costs. John Hildebrand came In from the country with a load of wood, and after disposing of it he concluded to look around awhile at the “prettiea,” and hitched hit team to a shade tree. A policeman brought him down, and John plead ignorance of the law, and the officer rather took his tide, and between the two he got off with costs and a fine lecture. “ I asked a scholar-looking chap What nectar was? Quick aa a snap. He said: “ The true Olympian Up Waa lager beer.” Upon this hint Thoa. Cully threw himself with all the enthusiasm ot an impulsive nature ouUida of a half a keg, and in less than a quarter of an hour was as drunk as a “biled owl,” to use his own expressive vernacular. Th&nka to the super human exertions of the police, he was prized out of the gutter, and conveyed to tbe station house w.th all the bonois. Having been permitted to lie in state all night, he was visited by Lis chums, and tbe mosquito choir chanted a Tequium over hi* inanimate corpus. He awoke re freshed in the morning, and bathed his head with the dampest corner of his coat tail, and called upon the Recorder. That good humored official, with a spirit of hospitality worthy ot a better cause than Thomas’s cause, permitted him to occupy lodgings on the first floor of the corporation restaurant free of rent, for a few days. “ He asked the doctor what he thought The finest drink a brewer wrought ? He answered thus : * Beyond a doubt, A coda cocktail.’ ” i needless to remark that “ John’s ” doctor is not that retired physician whose “ sands of life have nearly run out, - ' nor any member of the profession who has discovered a “ new epoch in medicine.” •‘John” excused himself upon the ground that he only took a litile medicine upon the recommendation of his family physicisn. He, himself, is an amateur physician, who mixes his own liquids, and unlike the rest of the profession, is not afraid to take his own medicine, as the blossom on his nose abundantly testified. The Court thought John needed hospital treatment and gentle exercise, and so consigned him to the work-house dispensary, which infliction be escaped by submitting to a post mortem examination of his pocket book. He was pro* nounccd a chronic case of ten dollars and costs, and turned loose on tight society. Perambulating bis drowsy beat, his measured tread in time with the “dry chicata’s note,” tho faithful custodian of the night stamped the toe of his prunella against the unyielding body of No. 1,287 on the docket, which proved to be that of Thomas Love. Whether this was the original “true love” or not, the officer did not stop to surmise, but it was evidont that his “course” hadn’t “run smooth” on this occasion, if it ever did. The city's guard didn’t know exactly whether Love was dead with tho choelra or straggling with the morbus, or whether under the potent spell of old tanglefoot it was a case of “Love’s First Dream.’ He tried to wake him, in vain— “ Can boozy * high’ or animated ‘ bast’ Back to its pureness call bis foetid breath ? Can hydropathy cleanse Lis throat of rust, Or stay the cold, impatient hand of death?” “Scarcely.” He was dumped into a wheelbarrow and carried up in style to the Recorder, where he found himself in a hollow square, in an attitude of “ Love at first sight.” The Court constituted him chief of the croquet gang, and authorized him to make love to the geological specimens of the Owens prospecting party. Nos. 1,288 and 1,282 plead guilty to being drunk and disorderly, and they were each fined ten and costs. Benjamin Carter, own uncle to the gentleman who raised so much oats, was peddliag pictures aronnd town without license. Ben. evaded the point as long as possible, but at last the gentle wooing of the court made him own up, and pays costs. “If there is any body under the canister of heaven that 1 hate in utter excresence,” says Mrs. Parting ton, “it is the slander going about, like a boy con* structor, circulating bis calomel amoDg honest folks." Old Ten and Costs is precisely of the same opiuion as Mrs. Particgton, only he hates a cursing man worse than a slanderer. When Fanny Lowe was called and charged with slandering Sis An derson, the court pricked up its ears and called for the testimony, which was that Fanny bad called Sis a li-rr (and several other endeariug epithets.) Under the circumstances, all things taken into consideration, she was let off with costs, as being an object of f»ym- patb y just at that time. Jim Johnson and Bill Wcslc-y were gay and festive sports, who nightly roam in quest of the “tiger.” Having formed a party with two other characters, a Land of seven up was engaged in, which resulted in a row between the “parda” because Bill let the other side catch bis “Jack.” The police made a haul of these two worthies snd brought them forth to judgment. An investigation into the concern proved it to be a bad place. One of tbe “ sucked in community” testified as to the fero’ city of the animal. It appeared that he— “ Went to fight the furious tiger. Went to fight the beast at faro. And was cleaned out so completely. That he lost his every ‘ mopns Every single spec of ‘ pewter,’ Every solitary ‘shiner.’ Every • brad ' and every dollar. All the * dough ’ iu his possession. All the ‘ spons ’ his labor earned him. All the bright and lovely 4 ready,’ All the ‘rowdy,’ all the ‘stumpy,’ A11 the cash and all the ‘ rbino,’ All the * tin ’ he did inherit.” This was sufficient to get away with William and James each for ten and costs. “ Up with the breeze, the birds and the bees, I heard a boy sing in the morn; And his hoe kept time with the merry rhyme. As he cheerfully hoed his corn.” This waa a small boy minding his own affairs, when another and much larger chap, named Dixon, came along and broke up that soDg by wantonly whaling the singer over the head with a kite frame. Instead of hia mother thrashing him, as she ought to have done, and saved him from the clutches of the law, she got as mad as blazes for being told of it, and tbe father of the injured boy brought Dixon up, where he pays $5 and coats or goes eight days on the street. W. B. Cummings came upcf ai i without provocation or previous notification. Hia «*o tenia’ thro’ the rye” so often will Lave a 'eaiern y to weaken him in the loins. When arrested be beci me very jack-asperated, but soon cooled down and paid dOW i ten and costa. “His brow was sad, his bead WM bare. One hand in frenzy clntch< d h s hair; And as be went with rapid st ide Iu mournful accents still ht cr ad, lusted! ” J. M.

Our reader* will remember the tragic death of 1 ich .rd Wall a few months ago, while reton ia; from the Hibernian Society's pic nic. Although a hard workng man, poor Dick, with characteristic Celtic liberality, always spent his money freely, and tbe consequence was that at hia death his wife and children were left in very straightened circumstances. On ascertaining this fact, John Stephens, of lbe firm of Stephens k Flynn* with hia accustomed benevolence, went to work to provide for tbe widow and orphans, and, aided by a few good Samaritans, soon raised a handsome sum of money, which has been in vested in a cottage and lot of land in the city, lu which the family now reside. In addition, there is a neat balance remaining, whicb, with such other sums as may be collected, will be invested for tbe benefit of Mrs. Wall and her children. Mr. Stephens deserves credit, for the very prompt and practical manner in which he has demonstrated hia sympathy for the wid ow and orphans. Justices* Courts. J. C. Bridges was arraigned before Justice Mundsy yesterday on a charge of assault and battery, but as the same case had been investigated by Justice Ham mond, the warrant was dismissed without anf investi gation. Thomas Finley for tbe £tate, Thrasher and McAfee for Bridges. Thomas Turner, colored, charged with burglary, waa brought before Jualice Monday, but tbera being no evidence against him ha waa discharged. Jesse 8. Thrasher for the defense.

He was required to give $100 bond. Tigner k Ellis, for the State; A. B. Culberson, for the Emory Commencement. THE JUNIORS—THE CHAMPION DEBATE—POINTS. At 4 o’clock the members of the Kappa Alpha Club invited their friends lo a pleasant. convivium. These social reunions of the atudenU are always delightful. JOINT DEBATE BETWEEN THE PHI GAMMA AND FEW SOCIETIES. This is a new feature of College Commencements. A graceful Salutatory was pronounced by Mr. J. O. A, Wynn, of Americas. It was good, but entirely too long. The question was then read by bishop pierce: Should the Government adopt a system of com pulsory Education ?” Affirmative—E.M. Whitington, Few; J. W. Freder ick, Few; F. H. Richsrdson, Few. Negative—C. E. Dowinin, Phi Gamma; W A. Sheate, Phi Gamma; O. L. Smith, Phi Gamma. Some of those gentlemen spoke to a length quite beyond propriety. A commencement audience will not tolerate a long, dry speech. The Faculty ought to regulate this matter. We did purpose giving a short synopsis of each debater’s argument, but fear your readers would cry “ Forbear! ” Mr. Dowmau of your city, has rare power. He graduates with the first honor. We speak of him again. Mr. Richardson also from Atlanta, had a very finished oration. It was scholarly conceived and admirably delivered. Mr. 8mith’s speech was the shortest, and, therefore, the most popular. The two best arguments made in the debate were allowed to Mr. Frederick and Mr. Sheats. Each acquitted himself with great credit. Bishop Pierce presided, and decided in favor of the negative. Your correspondent mistook another good looking man for General Colquitt. The General has not been rer. He was elected to preside at this delate. Tuesday Morning, July 22, 1873. Prayer by the Rev. J. P. Duncan, opened the Junior Exercises. The chapel crowded, and as usual, taika- tive. N. T. Banks, Henderson, Texas. “Proper function of Education.” Good mind—digested his thoughts well. E. M. Hammond, Atlanta, Ga. “Practical Thought ”— An able philippic against educational systems that pre pare men to make money offy. Life has higher mis sions. It wae all capitally said. E l is original from tbe ground up. E. R. Kinnebiew, Lexington,Ga.—“Achievem ents of Man.” Good leview of what man has done. Said woman’s eye waa the gate of Iliaven. The poet says “some point the other way.” J. M. Myers, Macon, Ga.—“Salmagundi.” Son of Dr. Myers, of Macon. A fine bit. I mean the speech, and the boy too. A splendit “take off” on the sub jects usually chosen by college boys. lie came to the conclusion that woman needed no eulogy. She talks for herself. More speeches like this. People don’t come here to listen to sermons. This twang of sermonizing is getting monotonous. ADDRESS AND DELIVERY OF SOPHOMORE PRIZES BY HOW ARD VAN EPP8, Esq., ATLANTA, GA. Now for something good. This crowd expects it. They were not disappointed. Mr. Van Epps never spoke with happier effect. Discarding tho hackneyed theme of “eloquence,” worn out on such occa sions, he delivered himself eloquently on the subject of “ emulation.” The crowd listened with an attention hitherto nnuoticed in these exercises. Atlanta may well bo proud of this young man as one of her sous. The University of Georgia looks on him admiringly as the most gifted of her young Alumni. Let him but emulate the ex ample of her other sous who have not been spoiled by flattery, and we feel sale in saying he will not stop this side of the heights. The aged Chancellor of the University would have been gratified could he have seen in the oration of to-day some of tho fruits of that high culture in oratory which he labors so faith fully to impart. THE PRIZES. Mr. Candler, of Villa Rica,'received the first prize; Mr. Wright, of Oxford, received the-secoud. Eugene Hazlewood. A VISIT TO THE CEMETERY. IMPROVEMENTS IN PROGRESS—112 INTERMENTS LA At MONTH—THE HEAVIEST MORTALITY ATLANTA HAS EVER EXPERIENCED—WORK ON THE CONFKDERANE MONUMENT ABOUT On yesterday afternoon we visited the city cemetery. After exchanging courtesies with the city sexton, the inimitable John C rnnally, by whom wo were kindly received, we proceeded to propound inquiries and gained tbe following information: That in the month of June he had made 112 interments—the largest num ber mado in any one month since he had assumed the snperintendency of the cemetery, which dates about three years back. The next largest number interred any other one month waa 109 in August of 1870. That iverage of mortality was about two-thirds colored le-third white. Prominent among the improve ments iu contemplation is a family monument which is about to be erected on Governor Jos. E. Brown’s square, which will stand 28 feet above the base, the cost of which is estimated from $5,000 to $6,000. Muldoon k Co., of Louisville, Ky., the contractors. The majority of finer work was executed in Italy and exported by them. When com pleted this will be, by all odds, the handsomest monu ment in the graveyard. Standing at an elevated posi tion, It will mutely mock at a 1 tho efforts of other tombs to rival it in porfection. Mr. J. M. Willis has awarded the contract to Mr. D. U. Judson, of this city, of erecting a very handsome and costly tomb over the remains of his wife, which will be one of the most chaste and elegant monuments that ornaments the grounds. Mr. Wade Hill is pre paring the ground for the speody efoction of a very handsome family vault on his lot. The Confederate monument is at a stand still—nothing has been done towards its com pletion for the past two years. We understand, how- that a contract has been consummated with the Stone Mountain Company to furnish granite to com plete the shaft or body of the monument, and that the Memorial Association will commence work afresh at a very early date. Though our information was not au thentic, we sincerely hope that we were informed aright. •Judge Linton Stephens. At the instance of Hon. Ale xander II. Stephens, Colonel James D. Waddell, of Marietta, is preparing a memorial volume of the lamented Judge Lintoa Stephens. This commission could not have been en trusted to abler hands. Colonel Waddell is a gentle- of fine education, large experience and a close observer, and there is no doubt that the memoir which he is preparing of one of Georgia’s greatest statesmen and patriots that ever lived will be all that the friends and admirers of the lamented Stephens can ask. Friends who may have preserved any of hi* letter, which would tid Col. Waddell in liis labors, will great ly oblige him by the loan cf them. If aent by ex press to Marietta, they will be carefully kept and re turned in tbe course of a few months. Address Col. James D. Waddell, Marietta, Georgia. Augusta and Macon papers are referred to the adver tisement elsewhere. PROCEEDINGS OF COUNCIL. Tbe Council met at 8 o’clock last night at the Re corder’s Court Room. Present—His Honor, Mayor Hammond, and a full Board of Aldermen, except Al dermen McLendon and Beattie. The report of the Joint Committee to whom was referred the bids for building Broad street bridge was read. The Commitleo on Public Buildings and Grounds and the City Engineer recommend tha acceptance of the bid of the Canton Bridge Company of Canton, Ohio, at $14,000 In city bonds at 82 cents. Messrs. L. P. Grant, John H. Flynn and M. V. D. Corput favored the acceptance of the bid of Wilkins k Post, of Paterson, N. J., at $14,000—half in city bonds and half in money. These bridges are both all Iron and both good bridges. The Wilkins k Post Company agreed to take all city bonds at 85 1-2 cents. Upon hearing this, Mr. Qjght, the agent of the Can ton Bridge Company, agreed to take all bonds at 95 cents, but for a bridge having only a capacity to sus tain 1.800 pounds per lineal foot instead of 36,000 pounds per lineal foot, his original bid. Alderman Dodd moved that the Council accept the bid of Mr. Hight at $14,000 in bonds at 95 cents. Alderman Morris seconded the motion. Alderman Young favored a seventy foot bridge. Al derman Morris did the same. The previous question was called and the motion- was carried by a unanimous vote. The contract, as awarded to the Canton Bridge Com pany, of Canton, Ohio, is for a seventy foot wrought iron bridge, at $14,000,to bo paid in twenty years eight per cent, city bonds at 93 cents. The City Attorney, with the Committee on Public Builidngs and Grounds, was directed to prepare the necessary papers. The floor of the bridge will be thj only wood abont it. There will be two 25-foet roadways for horses, carriages, wagons, etc., and two 10-feet walks for foot passengers. Tho bridge will be completed by Novem ber 15th, 1873. RESOLUTIONS.

As no sugar is used in the manufacture, the saccharine mat ter contained in our Lager Beer is only that derived from tbe vegetable ingredients employed. We therefore confidently place our CITY BREW};.
