An Ou Jswautr EaraiLiuiNEVT.—
W« take pleasure in batting attendtm to
the advertisement of Mr. K. A. llruhe in
tiiis in c^idtig’s I‘atss. His jewelry M
tabMshment is one of the oldest in the
City, having been established in 1844,
and baa acquired a reputation tor buai
ueas propriety alike creditable and
profitable to him. Hi« jewelry is the
“pure stuff,” solid silver and solid gold,
and purchaser* may rely upon it, that
when he tells them an article is gold or
silver, that such is really the fact; and
at his store No. ISMi Broad street, just a
few doors below the Press office, can be
found everything usually kept in a first
class jewelry establishment—watches,
docks, diamond rings, ear rings, breast
pins, gdd thimbles, watch chains, neck
laces, fruit knives, silver spoons and
forks, etc., etc., all of which he offers for
sale at reasonable prices. He is in re
ceipt of some of the latest styles of jewel
ry ; and repairs, in the neatest and
promptest mauner, watches, clocks, and
jewelry.
Masonic Hall Complimentary
Bkxf.fit to Mb. Geo. Wmtx The ladies
and geutlcmun of the Cenotaph Club, and of
the Young .Men’s Musical Club, and some of
our citizens, having tendered a compliment
ary benefit to Mr. Geo. Wren, he Las fixed

and place for it, un which occasion Professor
Cevor will exhibit his Stervoscopticon, and
other entertaiuments will be given. The
Y’uung Men's Musical Club will furnish the
music for the evening.
As Mr. Wreu has won the respect of our
citizen* for his gentlemanly deportment and
his services to the Cenotaph Club, it is to
bo hoped that bis benefit will bo quite a suc
cess, a real and substantial benefit.
Sinkinu or the Steamer Standish.
—The Savannah Daily Advertiser, of Febru
ary 17tb, gives the following account of tho
sinking of the steam-tug Standish : Tho j
Standish, with a heavy freight on board for
Augusta, sunk at die wharf where she was
lyiug, near Market dock, on Thursday night
lust. The goods consisted us a quantity of
Government stores, and a large quantity of
guano. It appears that the Standish was
lying next Wo the wharf, and the steamers
Emilieaud Resolute lying on the outside of
her. and during the high wind which pre
vailed on Thitrsfihv night, tho two steamers
outside kept pressing her into the wharf until
she struck on a projecting post, under water,
which caused her to careen over aud sink.
The cargo is entirely damaged, and prepara
tions were being made yesterday afternoon
to have it taken out and the steamer raised.
No blame can be attached to any parties, as
it was impossible to move the outside steam
ers without damairing them more or less on
account of the high wind prevailing.
The Daily Press is Savannah.—
The Savaunali Daily Advertiser, February
17th, says: We had the pleasure yesterday
morning of welcoming to our office Mr. E.
H. Pughe, the proprietor of this very reada
ble little sheet. Mr. F., who is an old typo,
hearing of the success of the Daily Advertiser
thought there was an opening of a similar
enterprise in Augusta, and accordingly
started the Frees as an advertising medium
aud free circulating journal. We are pleased
to learn that it has prospered beyond his most
sanguine anticipations. Though many pro
phesied failure, aud could not see howitcould
support itself, yet he saw it, and the Daily
Frees is now established ou a firm founda
tion.
Mr. Fughe will remain in the city fora day
or two, and we can confidently recommend
his paper to those of our merchants who
desire to make theirbusiness known through
a Urge portion of Middle Georgia, where this
paper has an extensive circulation.
Theatre. —After a season of some
weeks, the performances at the theatre are
now drawing to a close, and the present woek
is announced as “thelast week ofthe season”
for the drama. Messrs. Raymond and Ham
ilton have contributed much to the amuse
ment of our people, and won tho respect and
favor of the community. This evening they
aunounce the beautiful play of Fanchon, tho
Cricket, which will be repeated by particular
request, and in which the charming comedi
enne, Miss M. E. Gordon, will appear.
The patrons of Concert llall may expect a
rich treat this evening, aud will doubtless
make this a profitable week to the popula,.
managers.
Nf.w Goods. —Mrs. Pughe, No. 190
Broad Btroet, Las just received a large assort,
ment of hair nets, braids, working cotton,
collars, figured lace, buttons, beads, gimps
and other trimmings for bonnets und dresses,
to all of which the attention of the ladies is
particularly invited. They will find at Mrs
Pughe’s a general assortment of drygoods,
millinery goods, and fancy goods. Call aud
examine them.
. New Stage Line.—We invite the
attention of travelers to the new Stage Route
to Columbia, established by D. T. Harvey.
It is announced as a shortening of the route
hence to Richmond, and as time saved is
often money made, travelers bad better avail
themselves of the advantages of this new
line. Accompanying the advertisement is a
number of testimonials, to which we iuvite
the attention of our readers. They are quite
flaltering, and, no doubt, well deserved.
Savannah Bbakcu.—Messrs Levett
& Haworth, Healers in all kinds of straw
and millinery goods, 238 Arch street,
Philadelphia, will open to-day a branch
house at 118 Bryan street, Savannah,
where dealers can find a large and com
plete stock of goods in the line referred
to, on reasonable terms.
The Opera.—As will be mm by an
advertisement is another col am n In this
P*P® r ' Btrakoscb’e oelebratod Ghiuni
aad fineiai Italian Opera Company will in
augurate a season of six uigbts of grnnd
Italian Oporas at oar Tboatro, on Monday
•vaaing next. The Tronpe bae jut finished
a highly successful engagement (of 3S
nights) In Now Orleans, and an equally
brilliant ono In Mobile. W# clip thefollow-
Ing from tho Mobile Tribune on tho Compa
ny’s perlormance of Norma:
“Bolini’s great maaterwork, Norma,(was
parformed last night by the Obioni t Susini
Italian Opera Cotnpauy, to a crowded and
most fashionable audience.
“The principal roles of this magnificent
opera wore filled by Mme. Qhionl.MHe. Ca
nissa, and Signors Maccaferri and Susini.
“Mme. Angiolii a Ghioni sang tho role of
Norma superbly, she bus a pure sympathetic
voice, and is certainly one of the greatest
living interpreters of this difficult character.
She sang “Casta diva” with much effect and
great teeling— her action through tlie an tire
performituce was very artistic, and she was
deservedly applauded after each solo and
concerted piece.” “
44 The Tercetto in the second act, Tremi
tn ? per chi ? was a superb piece of dramatic
action, aud M’uie. Ghioni surpassed in its
rendition any artist that we have ever had
here.
“M’iie Paulino Canissa is youug aud hand
some, and her sweet, sympathetic, fresh
voice improves upon acquaintance. This
young lady is destiued to become one of the
brightest stars on the lyric stage. She
comprehends her vole well, and for the brief
period that she has been on the hoards she is
doing wonders.
“Sigs. Maccaferri and Susini, in the roles
of the Puliotie and Oroveso, were very effec
tive, aud.Sig. Susini won, by his organ-liko
voice, the udiniration of the Aumeruus audi
ence.
“The entire Opera wont like a charm.
The Chorus and the Orchestra were in ex
cellent trim, and Sig. Rosa deserves much
credit for the artistic manner witn which he
leads them. 1 ’
Fire in Savannah.- —There was a
fire in Savannah on the 15th inst., which
partially destroyed a brick warehouse on
the corner of Battle Row and Montgomery
streets. Some cotton and grain stored in
tho building were burnt. A negro was very
badly, if not fatally, injured by a bale of
cotton thrown from the third story window.
The Advertiser, in its account of the fire,
says: “We noticed a narrow escape of
several firemen, who were standing on tho
steps and platform leading to the upper
rtory. An officer of the Augusta fire De
partment. who is now on a visit to this city,
seeing that the parapet wall above them
was tottering, thouted to them to come
down. In their eagerness to subdue the
fire, they were not inclined to heed his warn
ing, until happening to catch a glimpse of
his badge of office, which he always wears
ot his breast, they knew that an old fireman
would not warn of danger unless it was in
deed imminent. They came down with all
haste, hut not a momentum soon, for hardly
had the last man reached the ground when
the wall fell on the spot they had just vu
cated.”
The fire originated in sparks from the
pipes of some freedwomen, picking cotton in
the room where it broke out.
Darby's Prophylactic. —This is no
new invention, but a discovery of a celebrated
Southern chemist, Prof. Darby, formerly of
the Female College at Auburn, Ala., and is
said tobo one ofthe best disinfectantsknown.
It is recommended as a prevoativc of small
pox and other contagious diseases, and is, in
more instances than one, a good thing to have
in the house. It is for sale by all druggists.
