The returning good nature of an irate and newly made mother»in-law spoiled one of our most elaborate locals for this issue. The parties concerned had appealed to the law to settle their grievances but wiser counsels pre vailed, and we are “euchred.” A <»ood Sign, And about twenty feet long, scol loped or festooned, and elegantly let tered by Fisk—is that put up by F. A. Bkaiie it Co., yesterday. It is in keeping with the beauty and attrac tiveness of the establishment presided over by these gentlemen. Yes, lor Joe. Patrick Gibbons (white), ar raigned Joe Patterson before Jus tice Piiinizy yesterday morning for the recovery of a pistol which the plaintiff alleges was forcibly cut from his person on the morning of the 2d instant. Joe protested innocence, but agreed to find the pistol, and went with an officer, for that purpose. Awsanlt and Battery. Eliza Abrams was brought before Ellis Lyons, Notary Public, ex officio J. I*., charged by Laura McGee with unlawfully beating her. After a pa tient hearing iu the case, it became apparent that it was a family broil. 1 'pon suggestion, it was deemed ad visable to make a mutual settlement — defendant paying the cost. A <'otton Cast*. Moses Coleman (colored), who was arrested night before last on a charge of stealing a bale of cotton from J. C. Swearingen, Esq., of Edgefield county, S. C., was before Justice Phinizy, yesterday. Moses decided, of his own free will and consent, to accompany his accusers back to South Carolina for trial, in preference to being entertained at the County Hotel until Governor Scott could forward a requisition for his corpus. Horse Recovered. Kit Bussey (colored), of Edgefield county, S. C., on the 16th of Septem her lasi, sttsiained, by tuel’t, the loss of a sorrel horse, blind in both eyes. Yesterday morning Blthhky took out a warrant for the recovery of the self-same steed, alleged to be in the possession of Mr. Lazarus Stokes, who promptly delivered up the animal, having been bought by him from a person who had purchased the horse at an auction sale by Messrs. Bignon & Crump, in this city. The identity of the individual who left the horse on sale with the latter gentlemen has not been ascertained. ■ «o . Mealing Money. Thomas Graham, an enterprising colored youth, of sufficient education to have known better, while throwing himself around loose in the bakery of .Mrs. Mary Pukfxw, yesterday, thrust his hand into her money drawer and took therefrom the sum of $3.25, with which he tried to escape. Mrs. P. was sufficiently on the alert to grab the youngster, and recover her money. Constable Anthony arrested and carried Thomas before Justice Phin. izy, who, after an examination and trial of the case, sentenced him to six months imprisonment and hard labor on such public works as the proper authority should direct. Thomas can read and write; but did not say, in an informal examina tion, where he got his education—only stating that he sold papers for our city co temporaries. Don’t Forget the Uircua. Byway of gentle reminder, we here call attention to the advertised ap pearance, on Saturday next, in this city, of the pojJMar circus of Stone & Murray. Coming at the season which it does—just when all are be ginning to unbend themselves for Christmas sports and festivities—we confidently predict a liberal patronage of these artistes in their efforts to eater to the mirth and amusement of the public. The reputation of this yompany requires no vindication at our hands; it stands in the very front rank of all eimilar entertain niciits. Wore of Hewitt’s (hip*. The Messrs. Hewitt, proprietors of the Globe Hotel of this city, have ways |>cculiarly their own, and very agreeable ways they are, too. On yesterday they Bent to our sanctum a line fresh shad— the first we had seen this Beason—superbly baked, and accompanied with nn abundant supply of very choice trimmings, etc. Having done ample justice to the luscious viands, we hereby return public acknowledgment to “mine hosts” for their seasonable remem brance ; and hope that they may con tinue to flourish until shad shall cease their annual run, and the weary traveller to “ hanker after” the com forts so peculiar to Hewitt’s Globe Hotel. Houghton Institute—Closing Bx* ereises. It was our privilege to be present last evening at the closing exercises of this school. The duties of scholars and teachers, until after the Christmas holidays, were ended with a general jubilee, in which about three hundred children participated. The school-room, up stairs, was ap propriately and tastefully decorated with wreaths and festoons of ever greens, truly suggestive of the fresh and joyous emotions which the occa sion wakened in the hearts of the old and young alike. Gazing upon the happy scene were the portraits of those Christian philan thropists and friends of the orphan and poor—Houghton, Newton and Tuttle, whose names will go down to posterity linked with all that is generous, noble and true in human nature, and whose memory is em balmed in the hearts of the orphan beyond the corroding influences of time. We could not look upon them without that an involuntary emotion of regret “in the flesh” they were not permitted to witness the happy gathering of those whom their generosity so nobly provided for. The efficient Superintendent and teachers of the school evinced a most commendable anxiety in promoting the enjoyment of their pupils. The children were certainly happy—but not unspeakably so, if we arc to make up our decision from the clear, ring ing laugh of the girls, and the absolute shouts of the boys, as they mingled in the exercises of the promema<ie and dance. Refreshments were served from the waiter, and the zest with which they were taken by the little ones—and large ones, too—was of itself refresh ing to observe. All went “merry as a marriage bell,” and the occasion will form, in the minds of many, a green oasis, aronnd which memory w ill cluster in pleasing recollections when the duties of manhood and womanhood shall thrust themselves upon the happy children connected with this school. The exercises of the Institute will be resumed on the first Monday in January, 1869. Those of the night school on the second Monday in Jan uary. On Wednesday, 16th instant, Mr. Calvin, the Principal, preisonto-i prizes to the successful contestants in the several departments, as follows: boy’s grammar department. Prize awarded to best reader—Benjamin B. Russell. For proficiency, punctuality mid general good conduct—William 11. Smith. girl’s grammar department. Best reader—Miss Clara Jacobs.

Third PriaMry—tHen Mamie Ferber, Si mon Jacobs. The contest throughout was very close, and the “lot,” in a number of in stances, was resorted to for a decision. Peace Warrant. John Palmer was before Justice Reynolds yesterday morning, by virtue of a peace warrant issued at the instance of Adeline Salmon, who was fearful that Palmer had an idea of pickling her. Palmer waived an examination, and promptly entered into bond of $250» with surety, for observance of the peace and appear ance al the next session of the Su. perior Court. It is probable that this warrant will draw a cross-fire, ami thus “work up a case.” Fraak. The editor of a little inter tor heb domidal went to a wedding, in his village, mi Tuesday night last, and got too drunk to find his way home until uext day! In his last issue, he treats his “numerous readers” to a descrip tion of the “wonderful night” thus passed. We hope he feels bettsr now. Keep Cool. There are, perhtlps, few’ who have not managed to do this to perfection, iu a physical sense, within the past week, without any particular effort on their part- But it is somewhat a question of debate whether their soul thermometer has marked a correspond ing decline of temperature. This fuming and fretting of the soul into a liquid state, so that it bubbles over and wastes itself, on tho application of a lucifer match or lighted broomstraw, is sheer nonsense. Better, far better, learn to “possess your soul in pa tience.” We have known many good causes to fail simply from a display* of too much zeal, and unless men learn to “ put on brakes” when necessary, we expect to hear of many more disas ters in the moral, religious and politi cal divisions of the world. Let off steam—your schedule is too fast; the machinery won’t bear it. Description of a Forger. A Hartford forger, who is supposed to have come South, and for whom a reward of SI,OOO is offered, is de scribed as follows : About 21 years of age, six feet tall, slim build, dark eyes, short, dark hair, full, high fore head, high cheek bones, thin, Roman nose, thin face, peculiar small mouth, pale complexion, and without whis kers. He was dressed, when at the bank, in a black frock coat, black vest cut low in the bosom, gray pants with dark stripe down the leg, Alpine hat and water-proof raglan overcoat with a cape. We give this description in order that our police may have a “turn” at the gentleman, if he should appear in this section. I niversitv of Georgia. Wo direct special attention to the advertisement of this Institution, in our columns. The second term will commence on the 15th of January, 1869, under the auspices of a Faculty, who are known to the people of Geor gia, as combining in their several de partments all that is requisite to place this University in the front rank of educational institutions. The recent election of Hon. A. H. Stephens to the Chair of History in the University, and a knowledge of his acceptance of the same, will inure greatly to the already well-established character of this Institution. We have authority in saying that tho elec tion of Mr. Stephens was not merely nominal, but that he is to be an active member of the Faculty, and as such will reside at Athens. The Working People. —At a recent mass meeting of the bricklayers of New York, a resolution was passed tliv UQiOIiS t-0 uiiivud their constitutions in reference to apprentices, so that employers might be allowed to take an unlimited num ber of apprentices, provided that the boys should bo Us.iy indqntjired for the term of four years. The Cirniwi Society of Coopers, in New York city, representing eight cooper’s unions, with 1,500 members, report that the recent strike for an advance from $1 to $1.25 for whiskey work has been successful, all the shops but one having readily granted the in crease. A semi annual convention of coopers will lie held in New York city next January. Tlie Women’s Associatron of New York has made a report on the subject of the wages received in that city by females opera ting on sewing machines. The general rates of the women employed at the offices vary from $8 to $22 per week. Operators going out by the day charge $2.50 per day and car hire. In some establishments the workwomen receive the full amount; in others they receive only part of this sum, varying from $1.30 to $1.50. The female superin tendents receive from SI,OOO to $1,200 per annum. The female elerks are paid $lO per week. ,. —< A Murderous Organization.— Advices from the region of the Alle ghany Coal Company states that since the assassination there of Douglas Love, a highly respectable gentleman, by unknown parties, intense conster nation prevails throughout the whole country. It has been discovered that there is a secret organization existing among the Irish laborers, who have sent threatening notifications to many citizens, on the principle of the Ku- Klux Klan, to leave immediately, at the peril of their lives. Coffins were sent to some with threats of death, and others have been similarly warned. Many have been obliged to leave for safety. A com mittee is now in Baltimore endeavor ing to get Gov. Swann to offer a reward of SIO,OOO for the suppression of the Klans. They offer to pay the largest share of the reward’ them selves. Tlie affair has partially susjieiided the mining o|Mtrations. Dr. S. C. Moore, late Surgeon-Gen eral of the Confederate Slates Army, has I teen .ippointt*d to fill the vacancy of the Eastern Lunatic Asylum at Wil liamsburg, oecasioiie<l by the death oi Dr. Pettieolas. The 'Fat Contributor ’ oa a Fam. The “ Fat Contributor” has Iwti in Central New York, looking after a farm he has there. He ig mueh in (created in agriculture- hUuda to follow it when he retirca from public life, lie writes as follows to the Cin cinnati Times: Westmoreland, Oneida county, N. Y. Editor Times : lam deep in agriculture at present, and clmmicd with even thing to it. Tho daily labors of niy hired man are giving a vigor to iny frame that 1 have not known for years, bronzing my faeo with the ruddy hue of Healthful toil. After observ ing him front my window for a couple of hours, as lie follows the plow, ii is astonish ing wliutnn appetite I have formv dinner. I attended a meeting of thoFarmers’ Club,” the other duy, im<l was much in terested in the suggestion* offered. There is no formality about these meetings, every one being nt liberty to present such facts and suggestions as he pleases. This being the planter's season, discussion naturally laid in that direction. How to keep wonne awny from corn was a promi nent theme. H. O. Handle, of Rcnsom. strongly recommended that the seed of the com be soaked in vermifuge, which is said to be a good tiling to drive away worms. Kumel O’Korn, of Squash Bush, said he usually stuffed the worms with worm lozenges (of which they are passionately fond), while the corn is growing. Common gratiHide keeps them from eating the corn after that. The grub worm was taken up and dis cussal. Some one said ashes would fix him. Luke Coan, of Westmorland, said the grubs on his land like ashes—get fat on them. lie said he put ashes on every hill of his corn in a ten acre field of it. Tlie grubs went at the ashes and devoured it nearly as fast as they could put it on. That night we were awakened by a loud knocking at the door and great hallooing. It was the grubs. They had come up to t|je house in a body, demanding more ashes. A farmer wanted to know the best protec tion against crows. Scarecrow s are no avail now, he said. Since fashion prescribes such outrageous attire for men and women, scare crows are too common. One man said he kept carrion in a field adjoining his cornfield —for where the carrion is, there wall the crows be also. The only trouble is, it makes the neighors cany on about it. There was considerable discussion as to the best time to put in com. Some thought it should be put in late at night; but it was finally settled that eleven o’clock in the fore noon’was the proper time. It being about that hour, the. chib adjourned to a grocery across the street and put in their “corn." Spring gardening was discussed at some length. A fanner from Utica thought it. would be better to do spring gardening in the fall, when they weren’t drove so. The Pres ident of the club was requested to give Iris views about the proper way to make beds. He said it was something that, he didn’t worry about; he had the ehamlM rmaid to make his beds. The various kinds of patent rakes were also commented upon. Farmer Bronson, who had lost an arm in the service, said he raked his garden with “grape and canister.” Far mers Jonsbeei sly was of the opinion that four acres would “rake ’er down” every time. Somebody recommended mandrakes. A communication was read designed to show that a Wheeler & Wilson sewing ma chine was the best tiling to “sow" wheat with. A-hem. The diseases of cattle was of dis cussion. For horn ails it was roeommeuded to fill the horn with gunpowder and touch it off. Farmer Rucll said he used it for that purpose in his herd, and he hadn’t heard any complaint since. He said lie had rather have a horn (of) ale himself than see his cattle suffer with it. Inin is said to lie an excellent tonic for cows. Dairyman use n great deal of it when they have chain pumps. In trimming trees it was decided best to consult an experienced dressmaker. Dress makers are postal in the spring styles of trimming. Some people wouldn’t know any better than to put lilac trimming on cherry trees, or cherry trimmings on lilac bushes. So am 1, too. Mr. Dankuslnnan, of Lairdville, said he was not much at setting out trees, but lie could out set any fellow in Oneid county sit ting up witli the girls. .Motion adopted. An honest old farmer from Vernon, Mr. Jordan, complained that the farming com munity were constantly Iking gullal by worthless patent rights' He had got ins house full of patent churns and iris barn full of patent forks, nil of them worthless. A %an sold him a churn the other day war ranted to bring butter (from any distance) in thirty seconds. He worked at it three days and nights, and tlieii had to have his butter lamraso/wlvA Lu ~*-£XrZfl iiGin <<tv Dl«l£C. Fanner O’Spratten, of Hampton, made a similar complaiipl. lie said he was induced, by promise of marriage, to buy a patent lightning rod, that was said to mow, husk corn, chop wood, fodder tlie cattle, and draw cider—all at tlie same time. He brought it home, but it hadn’t done anything but sit around itehouM and read novels ever since. ( larkpotter, or Mwn,. a com- sheller, warranted to take off corns ana min ions. It took tbein off about half a mile and then brought them back again. Com-shella tion in that. Chib adjourned to meet again next week at two o’clock. Fat Contributor. A Makkying Woman.—A Nash ville Dispatch to the Louisville Courier and Journal of the 10th instant says: “A strange wedding took place at Columbia to-night.” Ten years ago a young lady belonging to one of the most influential families in Maury county, against her wishes, discarded the tnan she loved at the instance of her friends. At the end of two years she obtained a divorce, and immediate ly married her first love. Nine months ago her second husband was killed, and to-night she will be again united to the man she maried ten years ago. Big Safe.—We were shown this morning the framework 'and different portions of what will be, when com pleted, the largest fire and burglar proof safe combined in the United States, at the factory of Messrs. Hall & Co., safe manufacturers, corner of Plum and Pearl streets. It will be eighteen feet in width, twenty in depth, and fifteen feet high. It is de signed for a bank in Pittsburg. The whole will weigh, when completed, 210,000 pounds. Owing to its size and weight, it will be shipped by sec tions to that city, and there put to gether.— Cincinnati Chronicle, lli/*. —Wendell Phillips says that “ un less great vigilance is used, the next generation will find itself in another race and labor revolution.”. To pre vent it, he recommends that suffrage be made universal, impartial, and homogeneous throughout the nation; the national credit be put at such a height that we can borrow at four per cent.; that capital be made to pay the debt; and that the day bo hastened when co-operation shall make every capitalist a laborer and every laborer a capitalist. —-A new Catholic Church is to be erected in Aiken, 8.

WAsiiiNOTON, December 17.—The Senate passed the bill extending the time for tlie pay ment of the tax on Tobacco to the 15th of February. It goes to tlie President. Bills removing political disabilities from certain individuals are presented from all quarters. Menard, from Louisiana, has credentials from Governor Warmoth, dated Nov. 25th, under the broad seal of Louisiana, and will present them to-morrow.

Hunt will present certain papers also, from Simon Jones, when the whole matter, without argument or any recognition of Menard, will go to the Elec tic. Committee. ’’l repealing the militia restrictions was by the Senate without com ment. Governor Bullock, of Georgia, having been summoned before tlie Reconstruction Committee of the House, was requested to give his opinion as to tlie proper mode of overcoming tlie difficulties in Georgia. He recommended that there should be a literal ‘execution of the Reconstruction acts which required the primal organiza tion of the State Legislature to be made by the admission of only those who could take the test oath, or had been relieved of their disabilities by Congress, This course would restore the colored men to their seats without any special legislation, and place the legislative department of Geor gia in the hands of loyal men. After the adoption by such a body of the funda mental conditions precedent to the State’s admission to the Union, all members eligi ble under the State Constitution and the Fourteenth Amendment would be ad mitted to seats, and no further action of Congress would be necessary.
