Coosa, Ga., Dec. 27,1877. Editor Couriei—The writer will not trouble you and the readers of your valuable paper with politics and the location of the capital, for every one kuows the election has been held. At lanta was voted the seat of Government, and the new Constitution, which was made by a convention of true, honest patriots, has been -atified, but he will write about a Christmas Tree that he “aw last Tuesday evening at Sardis Church. Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather quite a large crowd assem bled at the church to see the Tree and enjoy a pleasant time. At early candle-light the exercises opened with a suitable song by the Sabbath-school children, after which an earnest prayer was made by the Rev. T. C. Crawford. Brief and appropriate speeches were made by Dr. T. M. Shaw, the Assistant Superintendent of Sardis Sabbath-school, and Rev. T. C. Craw ford, pastor of the church. The pres ents were then taken off of the Tree and presented to the owners. A more beautiful Christmas Tree the writer has never seeu, and it was load ed with nice presents well and tasteful ly arranged. The comnrttee, Mrs. M. G. Shaw, R. B. McArver, and Misses Lizzie and Eva McArver and others, deserve much credit for the great interest they took to make the Tree a success, and for • heir efforts to make the entertainment as pleasant as possible. The Sabbath-school at Sardis Church was organized about three years ago, with Mr. C. P. Morton as Superinten dent, and Dr. T. M. Shaw Assistant Superintendent.

Jail- Breaking. On Saturday Dight last five prisoners who were confined in one of the cells of the jail in this city succeeding in cutting through six inches of wood and fourteen of brick with a pocket knife and got out into the passage, and came down the steps in their stocking feet and went out the back way. Three others were detected before they got down and secured, and put into another cell. The five made good their escape. The followingare the names of those that escaped, W. B. Rail, Geo. Johnson, Jas. Johnson, Thos. A. Wright, W. A. Wright. The three who did not escape were, J. H. Wheatley, L. F. Bagon and Broom. Rail and Wheatly were Uuited States prisoners charged with counterfeiting. The sher iff had been down to the fire at Omberg’s store and came home very much ex hausted, and had lain down and gone to sleep leaving a watchman at his post, but he too fell asleep. As the last one of the five came down it woke the sheriff aud he jumped up and ran to the steps and found the three men in the passage above. He ran up and secured them. The sheriff does not know how the prison ers got possession of the knife,as he had searched them but a few days before, and taken from them everything they had. The sheriff, Mr. Jenkins, and his dep uty, Mr, Sharpe, have been endeavoring effect the recapture of the prisoners, but have been unsuccessful so far. One Good Turn Deserves Another.

Last Saturday night, about 11 o’clock, the store occupied by Albin Omberg as a wholesale book and music store was dis covered to be on fire. The house had been closed for the night but a little while, when the strong smell of burning papers caused passers-by to look in and the rear end of the store-room was dis covered to be on fire. The fire alarm was sounded, and the fire department urned out in force. Hose was run through the second story aud turned in on the fire from the rear door, and tin flames soon extinguished.

Antiqu - Krrorg, In this enlightened age and land, find icceptance only with the prejudiced and ignorant. It is impossible, for in stance, to persuade any large proportion of a people who have imbibed their idi a“ of logic in common schools and free academies that it is expedient to cram their systems with mercury, rasp th-ir bowels with colycinth and jalap, or -tupefy tneir brains with opiates, when a pure, effective, safe, botanic irdial like Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters. hich relieves every disorder for which the poi.-onous drugs have been hereto fore prescribed, is within (tie reach of every one. Old fashionable remedies are rapidly giving ground before the ad vance of this conquering specific, and old fashioned Heas in regard to deple tion as a means of cure haye been quite exploded by the success of the great reuovant, which tones the system, tranquilizes the nerves, induces sound repose, neutralizes malaria, depurates and enriches the blood, rouses the liver when dormant, and promotes a regular habit of body.
