THE CHAMPION HAT AND BELT.
em« nml IMm XLem!
There has been a good deal said in the news
papers lately in reference to this subject. Oar
gallant “ Pioneers” bare no idea of entering
into a newspaper controversy about the mat
ter. Conscious of the fact that they fairly won
the champion bat and belt at the Firemen’s
Tournament in Augusta last May. when the
contest was open to all the world, and firemen
were there from different parts of this and two
other States, tboy are perfectly willing to re
main custodians until some other company can
fairly claim the prices.
So far as the alleged Bainbridge challenge
two yenrs ago is concerned, tboy never heard
of it until recently.
The gallant “ Pioneers" of Athens now hold
the prizes they so fairly won, and we are au
thorized by tbera to say, that if any other
company want them, they can come and enter
tho lists. They will l>e most hospitably en
tertained while here, and. if tbey fairiy w]d
them, may carry them borne in triumph.
This has the ring of the true metal—means
business—and if hook and ladder companies
elsewhere want the prizes, let them come and
tale them !
Churcu F’air.
There will bo a Fair given by tho members

The Fire Sunday Night,
On Mrs. Rucker's premises, on Milledge Ave
mie, destroyed tho kitchen, in which it origi
nated, and blistered the paint on a portion of
the dwelling-house, which was saved through
the prompt exertions of our gallant fire de
partment. All four of the companies were
promptly on hand, but the distanco was so
great and the lire had gained such headway
that the kitchen could not tio saved.
Tho alarm was given between nine and ten
o’clock, when our citizens generally were at
tending night service at the different cbnrcbes.
We have not learned how tho fire originated.
Killed.
Wo learn that a colored man, named Elijah
Piiee. an employee of Pioneer paper-mill,
four miles from town, got caught in the ma
chinery on Monday afternoon, and was crush
ed to death. Ho lived about seven hours af
ter tho accident occurred.
State College of "Agriculture aud the Meehan*
Ic Arts.
The following notice of this college is copied
from the New York Tribune;
The Georgia State College of Agriculture
and the Mechanic Arte, located at Athens, and
presided over by Wm. LeRoy Broun, M. A.,
makes in its first report lately issued a reason
ably satisfactory showing of resources and
prospective results. We judge that the new
institution is well equipped In way of instruc
tors and apparatus, and the roil indicates an
attendance of 151 students daring the session
of 1972-'3. of which 140 wore received with
out charge for tuition. For the present term,
131 have already been admitted, all bat three
free. Preparatory investigations have been
made by Prof. H. C. White, touching the
chemistry or the cotton plant ns grown on dif
ferent soils, and the Professor of Agricnlture,
Dr. Pendleton, has conducted experiments on
the few acres of land set apart for his purpose
and will follow with others, with the view of
ascertaining, among other things, “ whether
bone phosphate, ground sufficiently fine, will
become decomposed and rendered soluble in the
waters of the soil by the action of stable ma
nure and cotton seed, or by either, as to an
swer all the purposesof Southern agriculture t"
Profs. Pendleton aud White fill several pages
with couclusious and suggostivo remarks of
intelligent planters.

Sentinel of a late date:
A Fixe Work of Art.—Wo received yes
terday, from Mr. B. B. Euston, Professor of
Ponnmanship and Book-Keeping at tbe State
Agricultural College. University of Georgia,
an almost faultloss likeness of the lato distin
guished statesman. General Howell Cobb,
witb a memorial inscription, tbo whole sur
rounded by a beautiful wreath of oak and ivy
leaves, and all executed with pen and ink. It
is one of the most most remarkable pieces of
art that wo have ever seen, and is speaking
evidence that Prof. Euston is not only a per
fect master of tbe pen, but an artist of no or
dinary talent, as well. Tho likeness could
uot have been Hotter. Evory liue is drawn
with exquisite skill, and the entire production
presents an exceedingly handsome appearance.
It has all the softness of a finished crayon
drawing. The work will be engraved in the
finest style of art for publication among tbe
people of the State.

Sunday School Celebration.
On Wednesday, tho 20th inst., the Winter-
villo and Cherokco Corner Sunday Schools
united and enjoyed a pic nic at Dr. Hutche
son's, on the Goorgia Railroad. The place
selected was a most beautiful, shaded grovo,
near tho school-house, and more pleasant
grounds could not havo been selected.
Wo arrived early, and found a number of
guests present, and soon the schools came up
in procession, singing appropriate bvmns,
v with tho spirit aud the understanding.” It
was a unarming scone, to witness tbe happy
faces and listen to tho sweet voices of the chil
dren, aided liy their competent and kind-heart
ed teachers.
Addresses wore delivered by Hon. W. King,
Mayor of Athens, aud Rev. Mr. Conoway.—
Both gentlemen spoke without preparation,
but acquitted themselves witb the greatest
credit.
Beautiful and appropriate songs were intro
duced during the morning. Master Walter B.
Dillard—though a very small boy—made quite
a fine little speech, which was delivered witb
all the force aud confidence of au experienced
orator. Master Ransom King also delivered a
.selected piece in very good style.
Dinner was now prepared by the ladies, in
tbe greatest abundance and variety, and was
indeed tho nicest and most tempting feast we
havo overseen spread before any pic-nic party.
After all bad done noble service in attacking
the supplies, tbe “ broken fragments " would
bave fed a large multitude.
In tbo afternoon a most delightful time was
enjoyed by all—especially tbe youug folks—
who engaged in croquet, coquette, base, flirta
tion and many other innocent amusements.
There was an unusual array of beauty and
loyoliness on tbe grounds—pot your city hefies,
mode charming by the inventions of art, but
Nature’s own beauties—the true loveliness of
the country. Among tho number I could but
notice ono who wore a wealth of natural hair
(how strange in these times!) with tbo most
beautiful eyes and charming faoe—in fact, she
seemed tbo miracle of her sox, and
'■ She it pure at the it fair.
Non* on earth above her—
Just tike tbe Angels are—
To see her is to /ors her.”
Among the visitors from Athens, were sev
eral young men—one who, early in the day,
experienced “ Love’s labor lost,” but ero the
rotting of tbe sun, consoled himself by saying,
All's well that ends well.” Another couple
(one of whom was chairman of tbe sick com
mittee) determining to be popular with tbo
country girls, wore very broad brimmed hats,
hoping to be taken as “ Grangers,” bat sad to
relate, the aforesaid pistes mistook ti^esq hand-
soiue gents for Sweeps.
I had fully prepared myself for taking
verbatim notes of tho speech of Mr. D., deliver
ed in the afternoon, to an audience of one, bat
as tbe words were spoken so softly, I could not
make stenography serviceable on this occasion.
I might give many incidents of this happy
gathering, but fear your space wifi not allow
it. So I will dose by ofiering three rousing
cheers for tbe good people of the great old
county ot Oglethorpe—her beauty, her hospi
tality and whole-souled generosity.
Respectfully, C. R. J.

At tht fireside her hospitalitj was free andlnritingy
to friends and strangers. To bar own homo-folks she
was a brightly barning light and an over-fall treasure
of pleasantness. Truly, whan that light want down
darkness hovtred over the home, and when that trea

. .Out of tbirty-sovon States and Territories,
there are only three entirely represented in
Congress by natives. Delaware, North Caro
lina and Vermont. v
. .The Judiciary Committee, by a close vote,
has decided in favor of the impeachment of
Kellogg’s midnight Judge—Durell. Tho ar
ticles will be prepared in a few days and the
session of tho Senate considerably prolonged.
..The country now possesses seventeen
Democratic and twenty Radical Governors.
Tbe elections of next fall wifi change the pro-
pondorancoand relieve several Buttering States.
..Qne hundred and twonty-eight young
men were admitted to the Bar, In New York
oity, last week. This addition of fledglings
to the stock of2,000 older legal birds in that
city, will be quite sufficient for all honest pur
poses.
..The Dual vote of tbe court martial in tbe
case of Gen. O. O. Howard stood as follows :
For acquittal. Generals Sherman, Meigs, Rey
nolds, Mills. For conviction. Generals Mc
Dowell, Getty and Pope. From this It will
appear that the vindication of Gen. Howard is
not so triumphant as has been made to ap
pear. -
..The General Conference negatived, on
Saturday, the proposition to olect two addi
tional bishops. It also resolved that preach
ers cannot be kept in one charge longer
than four years, withont a violation of tbe Dis
cipline.
..It is understood that the President has
finally consented to Qeneral Sherman's long
entpftqined dVaire to have the head-qnartere
of the army removed to St. Iarais, and that
such transfer will be made about the 1st prox.
..Beth houses of Congress have resolved to
adjourn on the 22d of June. The Senate is
wasting the worst part of the twenty odd
days in an interminable debate over the Civil
Rights bill, tbe passage of which has been
fully predetermined. There is time for bills
that will keep the negroes within the party
traces, but none for any relief of the people of
the South and West.

yeare tha medieina you are now putting up, known ai
Dr. J. Bradfield’i FEMALE REGULATOR, and eon

of medieino and in domestic practice, and can honestly
say that I consider it a boon to (offering females, and
can but hope that every lady in our whole land, who
may be suffering in any way peculiar to tboirsex, may
bo able to procure a bottle, that their luffcringe may
not only be relieved, but that they may be restored to
health and etrength. With my klndast regards, I am,
