Boy er & Co, Publishers, Parkersburg, Chester County, Pa. Death of John 6. Coffin. We are pained to announce the death of another old citizen—Mr. John G. Coffin. About a fortnight since he received injuries by falling from a scaffolding, at the Sand Hills, while painting a house, from the effect of which he died, yesterday morning at three o'clock, at his residence in this city. The deceased had been for many years an honored citizen of Augusta, prominently connected with the Baptist Church and the Masonic and Odd Fellows’ associations. His funeral notice will be found in another column. -*-• Drowned. A young man by the- name of William Byrd, aged about twenty years, recently from Lincoln county, was drowned on Sun day night, between nine and ten o’clock, while bathing with some friends in the Canal, opposite the water basin. It is sup posed that he was seized with cramp. His body was recovered in an hour afterwards and taken to the house of Mrs. Parker in the vicinity. Coroner Rhodes, on being notified, held an inquest over the remains, and the jury rendered a verdict of “death from accidental drowning.” Kxpre»a Trade, Opposite our office the amount of express matter arriving and departing every morn ing is immense. This would indicate that Hade is not completely dead. It is cheering to sec the huge wagons piled up with every conceivable variety of freight. Os course, a great deal of this express matter is fruit and truck, but even this must make a comparative amount of briskness, which is very acceptable at this time. Summer Weather. Let us be thankful that Summer has come ; that the cold Winter winds no longer freeze the blood, and that the Spring rains are over. But if our friends in the rural districts need more moisture for the fruits which they cultivate, let us pray for more rain to fall, lest, during the days which lie before us, our rations may be short in the land, and for our overmuch petitioning we be too liberally rewarded. The Coming Crop. As much interest is felt throughout the country in regard to the prospects of the colton and other crops, we will be grateful to our planting friends, and others in the iuteiior, for information on the subject. Our factors and others who have opportunities fbr obtaining valuable information in regard to the growing crops, and anything of interest in relation thereto, will confer a favor by communicating the same to us. Postal Hints. In some of the Eastern postofflces, for the convenience of the citizens, assistance to the mail sorters, and to insure a prompt arrangement of the mails, there are drop boxes for each State or direct mall route, plainly labeled, “New York State,” “New York City,” “Boston,” “New England States,” “Buffalo,” “Southern States," “Western States,” etc., etc. This plan has been found to work advantageously, giving the clerks better facility, and benefitting all concerned. Such an arrangement could well be adopted in our postoffiee, and we hope to see the plan adopted soon. The National Hotel, Atlanta. This justly popalar hotel, under the man agement of fife skilful and affable brothers Pond, is winning golden opinions from the guests who daily partake of their abundant good cheer. Travellers assure us there is no more comfortable hotel to be found any where: and of the excellency of the ‘bed and board’ furnished at the National, we have recently had internal evidence. Our readers, however, can judge for themselves, alter glancing at the following Bill of Fare, which it was oar pleasure, on last Saturday, to assist in the discussion of: Soup. Oyster. Boiled.

' To be Built* The Macon papers have the satisfaction of announcing that a private despatch has been received from George 11. Hazlehurst, President of the Macon and Brunswick Railroad, dated at New York, July Ist, that the negotiations which have been pending for some time past between him and several moneyed men of that city, have been brought to a happy termination ; that the contract by which the road is to be built by them has been “signed, sealed and delivered.” The Company which undertakes the com pletion oi the road has millions of money* aud is thrice able to perform the work which it is about to undertake. The work will at once be placed under contract and pushed forward to immediate completion. *4^. — The Ophelia Bonnet. In order to make an Ophelia bonnet, go into the garden, or to a florist’s, lake ten or fifteen roses, or other flowers, work them into a wreath, which place around your head, and that crowti is lhe bonnet. In place of flow ers, you may take fruit, but if you determine on strawberries, be careful not to have them too ripe. ♦» The Cotton Tax. The exact phraseology of the law repeal ing the cotton tax having become a matter of dispute, a certified copy of the act has been procured from Washington by the Journal oj Commerce. The law reads : “all cotton grown in the United States after the year 1867 shall be exempt from internal tax, and cotton imported from foreign countries on aud after November Ist, 1868, shall be exempt from duty.” A Sad Affair in Georgetown, S. C. i We learn that on Monday week, Charles , Davis, a son of the late Capt. Ross C. Davis, , went out with several hoys of his age to swim, and not returning with his comrades some fears were entertained for his safety. His companions, when questioned about him, returned evasive answers, which aroused the suspicions of his family. The river was dragged for several days, and on Wednesday last the body of the missing boy found, very much bruised and lacerated, and bearing evident marks of violence about the head. The Coroner was notified of the fact, an inquest held, and the suspicions so strongly supported, that two of the three boys who were with the deceased were recognized to appear; at the November term of the Court for that District. ♦♦♦ Cause* of Sudden Death, Very few of the sadden deaths which are said to arise from diseases of the heart do really arise from that cause. To ascertain the real origin of sudden deaths, the ex periment has been tried in Europe, and reported to a scientific congress held at Strasbourg. Sixty six cases of sudden death were made the subject of a thorough post mortem examination. In these cases onlv two were found who had died from disease the heart. Nine out of sixty six had died from apoplexy, while there were forty six cases of congestion of the lungs— that is, the lungs were so full of blood they could not work, there not being room enough for a sufficient quantity of air to enter to Support life. The causes that produce congestion of the lungs are cold feet, tight clothing, costive bowels, sitting still until chilled after being warmed with labor or a rapid walk, going too suddenly from a close heated room into the cold air, especially after speaking, and suddenly depressing news operating on the blood. These causes of sudden death being known, an avoidance of them may serve to lengthen the lives lost under verdict of heart complaints. That dis ease is supposed to be inevitable and incura ble; hence many do not take the pains they would to avoid sudden death, if they knew it lay in their power. The Dog Nuisance. The question of taxing dogs at a higher rate tbart hitherto, and of confining them to their masters’ enclosures, is beginng to be discussed in quarters entitled to high con sideration. If it is necessary to restrain by law lhe running at large of sheep, goats and swine, why should the dog be a privileged animal 7 It is true, thaj in cities and incorporated boroughs, the dog is sentenced to wear a tin collar over his neck during certain warm mouths of the year. This is an evidence going to prove that his running at large, without restraint, is dangerous to the community. In country places, however, there are no such wholesome restrictions. It is well known that dogs are kept as a luxury ; there is not one outoi the thousand of any real benefit to its owner. We would not ask that a man be prohibited by law from keeping a dog, or as many as he plousea ; but that it, er they, be kept in an enclosure on his own premises, and not per milted to run at large—that he be made liable for any damages they may do to others, and that they be taxed as a luxury at a specific amount. The commissionerof agriculture estimates the annual damage done to sheep in the United States, by dogs, at two millions of dollars; and thousands of farmers and stock breeders are deterred from investing in sheep, on account of the dog risk. This goes to show that the agricultural wealth of the country is greatly retarded for want of fair and just laws relating to this animal. The time is not far distant when the people will demand that such laws be enacted, that those who keep dogs shall do so under greater restraint, at their own expense and risk for any damage done to their neighbors. . «-*-• A Kat Narrative. The story we are about to narrate should lead all lo beware how aud what they dream. A certain gentleman met with a dreamy incident, a few nights since. He is a man who reads a good deal, smokes a great deal, aud when he retires to bed, thinks much more than the generality of people. Conse quently, he-frequently gets nervous before sleep closes his eye-lids. After hearing the “ iron tonge of midnight toll twelve,” he dropt into a nice, pleasant sleep, but was awakened by the loud gnawing of a rat in the ceiling. Not appreciating the unsea sonable disturbance, he rapped sharply on the wall and silenced the midnight intruder. Sleep returned, and in that balmy uncon sciousness a dream came. He dreamed of being in his eellftr and chasing a monstrous rat. The quadruped was exceedingly smart, jampin? from place to place, running from corner to corner, but avoiding the pursuer. At last tlto rat jumped on a low shelf, and our man of dreams determined to end the contest. Raising his arm, at the end of which be supposed he had a good slick, he struck out a terrible blow. “Oh 1 murder — fire—robbery 1” screamed his wife, attempt ing to rise from the bed The secret was soon told. Instead of killing a very large rat in his dreams, he had struck his “ better half” straight across the nose 1 An explana. nation followed. No suit for divorce* is anticipated. It is possible, however, that a new calico dress will have to be purchased, and the rat may be sned for midnight trespass and disturbance. I“.ry yourNmall Debts. Pay your email debts. You do not know how much good is accomplished by adopt ing this principle. It was honest old Ben Franklin, we believe, who, as a matter of experiment, followed up a small amount which he paid to a tradesman. In a very little while he ascertained that the money paid the tradesman bad passed from hand to hand until the number of bills, of nearly similar amount, settled with it reached some fifteen or twenty. It may not be possible to do as Franklin did, tuid trace up the history of a small amount of money in the way of debt paying ; but it may be set down aS a fixed fact that the prompt pay ment of small debts is the initiative step towards paying cash for everything. Gen erally speaking, these small debts are due to persons who need all the little capital they can command. To such, they are of immense importance ; and it may be said of the • person who allows these trifling obligations to remain unpaid-while having the means to discharge them, that he is not, in the true sense of the word, an honest man, unless, by express contract, a time of payment has been fixed, and that time not arrived. Pay your small debts, and your big ones too. If you would be happy and comfortable, sleep soundly, eat ( heartily, and enjoy that peace of mind which only men with good consciences are supposed to enjoy, pay your small debts—especially the small debt you owe the printer. Phillips’ Provision Exchange. Cincinnati, July 186% Editor National llrpublican : Tti« market for provisions during the week past continued to decline, and there was no ani mation even at the decline. Holders began to think that the bottom had fallen out. Parties fearing that an advance might soon take place have been slyly feeling through brokers, and have finally sent their orders, though at low figures, yet this would indicate that more would still be wanted, and to-day the fact culminated with largo orders and but few soiling at anything like the prices that have been current during some weeks past, and st the close the market is firm, with far more buyers thau sellers, at quota tions below : MESS PORK declined to $27, with considera ble sales. At the close, buyers were free at this figure, with but few sellers under $27.50. LARD also deelined to lajc, with small sales, but at this figure to-day buyers were free, and so more offered in some cases, but generally held at 16c. Kegs are scarce at 19c for winter rendered; refined 18c. BULK MEATS declined largely during the week, whieh decline induced operators to come into the market, and the demand to-day was good at 10 L 13, 135, and UJc, all loose, for Shoulders, Sides, Clear Rib, qpd Clear Sides, with no sellers within Jale of these prices. BACON—AIeo sympathised with oiber articles and is quiet but firmly held, and so considerable quantity could be bought at current quoted prices —holders preferring to hold through the warm months rather than accept present offering prices. I quote, nominally, at 12. Isj and 16 cts. for Shoulders, Clear Rib ind Clear Sides. Hams quiet at 17 for plain aril IS to 19 for Sugar Cured. PLATE BEEF—Quie at S2O. Dried Beef 18 to ISJc. EXPORTS —Os the w< ek were 932 bbls, and 960 kegs of Lard; 709 hhds. and 1,084 tres. of Bulk Meats and Bacon ; 972 bbls, and 423,000 lbs. Pork. IMPORTS.—SOB bbls, and 15 kegs of Lard. FREIGfiES —£ast bound are irregular. Very lew rates ean be had on round lots. Nothing of consequence moving Southward. Very respectfully, Gko. W. Pbilliis, Jr., Provision and Preduce Broker. ytelegra ph Georgia Legislature, Atlanta, July 6.—The Senate and House finished organizing to-day. The elections iu the Senate are all Repub lican. In the House, M. A. Harden, Democrat, was elected Clerk, and Jesse Osten, Demo crat, Messenger. . Eleven new members arrived this morn ing, giving the Democrats the majority. Messrs. Harris, Spear aud Chandler were appointed a Committee to wait upon Gov. Bullock and inform him that both Houses were organized, and ready to receive mes •ages, etc. In the election of the Speaker of the House yesterday, McWhorter (Republican) received 76 votes, and Price (Democrat) 74 —Price voting for McWhorter, under the impression that McWhorter had cast his vote for Price. On learning .the contrary, Price asked permission to withdraw his vote for McWhorter, which was granted by the Governor, who however decided McWhorter elected. The defense for the Columbus prisoners was commenced to day. The main points are to prove an alibi. National Democratic Convention. New York, July 6.—The police arrange ments were inadequate to keep back the surging crowd, which so blocked up the street, that delegates had great difficulty in entering. At half-past 10 o’clock, the delegates gen erally were in their seats. The Convention was called to order at a quarter before 11 o’clock. Prayer by Rev. Wm. Quinn. The reading ol the journal of Saturday was dispensed with. The delegation from the Workingmen’s Convention were invited to seats. The Committee on the Permanent Organ ization reported for President Hon. Horatio Seymour, of New York, which was received with great cheering. They also reported a Vice President and Secretary from each State. The Committee recommended the rules ol the Democratic Convention of 1864 for the government of the Convention. The report was adopted, and the Commit tee were discharged. , The Chair appointed Bigler, of Penn., and Hammond, of South Carolina, commit tee to conduct the President to the Chair. Seymour proceeded to the platform amid great and continued cheering. He returned thanks for honor conferre’d, and counseled moderation and harmony.— He said that there were questions of the greatest importance forced upon the Con vention, some of these were forced by reso lutions of the late Chicago Convention. Discussed, briefly, the Republican platform; accused that party of violating its own declarations against repudiation, and un equal taxation, and then asserted solicitude for the soldiers and also for soldiers’ widows and orphans. He the now dominant party of- extravagant* wasting of public monies, tainting national credit, expediting immigration by over-burdening labor, and breaking down all constitutional guarantees of republican liberty. He denied the asser tion of the Republican Convention that the principles of the Declaratiou of Independ ence are now sacred on every inch of Ameri can soil, for in ten States of the Union military power suppresses civil law. •’ [SECOND DISPATCH, | New York, July 6.—A large number of resolutions were offered and referred with out debate. A resolution endorsing Johnson and applauding Chase on the impeachment created applause. A resolution urging universal amnesty, without any exceptions, was unanimously adopted. Adjourned to 4 o’clock. Massachusetts and Rhode Island will vote for Chase on the first ballot. Pendleton’s friends claim 180 votes on the first ballot, It is generally believed it will require twenty or thirty ballots. Chase’s letter is published. Alluding to suffrage and other domestic affairs, after expressing himself in favor of according suffrage to all citizens, Chase says : “On this question I adhere to my old Stale rights doctrine. Iu the event of my nomi nation and success, I trust I should so act that neither the great party which makes the nomination, nor the great body of patriotic citizens whose coOperation would ensure success, would have cause to regret their action. It is an intense desire with me to see the Democratic party meeting the ques tion of the day in the spirit of the day, and assuring to itself a long duration of ascend ancy. It can do so, if it will.” [third dispatch. | New York, July 6.—-The Convention ad journed at 6 p. m., without a ballot or platform. . Congressional.

South Carolina Legislature. Columbia, July 6.—The Legislature or ganized to day. F. J. Moses, Jr., was elected Speaker of the House, and Major D. T. Corbin, Presi dent pro tejn., Lieut. Governor IJooser being sick. In the House, Whipner, a Northern ne gro, nominated a colored man for Speaker, and said : “that the time had .come for the issue to be made in the party. Heretofore the Republicans had denied the black man everything, and showed hostility. Hereafter he would assert his own rights and protect them too, and the consequences must be with their enemies.” He was severe upon ignorant white men who had been elevated to office by colored voters. He said, ‘ this thing must stop or the party would go tv pieces.” The speech being revolutionary created considerable excitement. Governor Orr goes out to day. Governor Scott has arrived. Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Convention. New York, July 6.—The Convention has presented an address. It expresses no pre ference for candidates, and expects harmony and confidence in the result.

A bill has been introduced in the House, by McMillan, creating the office of State Printer, to whom shall be given the entire State and Municipal printing.
