I have now on hand and for sale, a large
number of MULES and HORSES,generally
from three to five years old, of tho best
growth of the Western couutry —such as
are especially adapted to the business wants
of the community—and have arrangements
on hand which will enable me to supply a
very large demand during the winter and
spring. Myself a native of Kentucky, and
having formerly had an extensive connec
tion with this class of business, together
with the fact that I am now permanently
located in Augusta, I flatter myself that my
facilities arc unsurpassed for supplying this
market at the lowest possible rates consis
tent with a sound business. Purchasers are,
therefore, invited to call and examine iny
stock, or send in their orders for any num
ber or any class of either Mules or Horses
at market prices.

THE LARGEST CIRCULATION.
SATURDAY MORNING March 24, 18(1(5
SCISSORS.
—There are good hypocrites who are
far better than they appear.
—Butter and lard should not be kept
in the same apartment with kerosene, as
all fats readily absorb and retain odors,
nnd the fine aroma of butter may thus
he seriously insured.
—A clerk in a music store was lately
overpowered by a fastidious young lady,
who wanted to purchase Mr. Thomas
Hood s—a—song —of the —a—gentle
man's undergarment! The clerk is still
alive.
—A dispatch from Galveston says an
order has been issued to quarantine all
vessels arriving at Texan ports, on ac
count of official notice having been re
ceived of the prevalence of the cholera
in the West Indies.
—On a recent trip of one of the Illi
nois river packets—a light draughtone—
the passengers were startled by the cry
of a “man overboard 1” The steamer
was stopped, and preparations made to
save him, when the sound of his voice
was heard, exclaiming, “Go ahead w ith
your old steamboat! I’ll walk along
bellin'! vou.”
—There is a girl in Troy whose lips
are so sweet that they stick together
every morning by the honey they dis
till, and she cannot open her mouth un
til she has parted her lips with a silver
knife. She will be a treasure to her
husband, not only on account of lier
sweetness, but because sire can occasion
ally keep her mouth shut.
—“Mother,” said little Ned, one morn
ing, alter having fallen out of bed, “I
think I know why I fell out of bed last
night. It was because I slept too near
where I got in.” Musing a little while,
as if in doubt whether he had given the
right explanation, he added: “No, that
wasn’t the reason; it was because I
slept too near where I fell out.”
—An epidemic of the nature of the
cattle disease in England, has appeared
in Cuba. It is called the cangrena
Large numbers of oxen have died within
twenty-four hours after being attacked.
When a beast dies the farmers watch
the carrion crows, and if they do not
immediately attack the body, brush and
fuel are heaped up, and it is burned. No
preventative of this disease is yet dis
covered. There are always large num
bers of green fiies about the carcases,
and their bite is injurious, if not fatal to
man.
—The late Rev. Samuel Fiske (“Dunn
Browne”) once prayed in the pulpit,
“that, the Lord would bless the congre
gation assembled, and that portion of it
which was on the way to church and
those who were at home getting ready
to come, and that in His infinite pa
tience, He would grant the benediction
to those who reach the house of God
just in time for that.” By this eccentric
method the clergyman succeeded in
breaking up a bad habit, which had
resisted all legitimate appeals.
—A Mr. Thompson, of West Virginia,
recently a judge of the Wheeling dis
trict,, has published a book. What its
title and what its subject is no matter
to the public, as we are sure our readers
will acknowledge after reading the fol
lowing lucid extract: “Man becomes the
diaphanous ectype of the inner spiritual
self, as he is moulded and molds his
surrounding organism from instant to
instant to their animalistic propensities,
their human desires and purposes, and
in his higher spiritual manifestations of
autopsic willing, intellectualizing and
loving.”
• —A writer in a Mississippi paper in
troduces the American Eagle, which
for five years has been a comparative
stranger in those parts, in this style,
preliminary to the 4th of July : “The
American Eagle is looking at us. His
tall feathers have been plucked out, but
still he is on the roost. Miss Columbia
is also standing with her flag staff and
flag on to it, but she looks like a jiassee.
Fourth pf J uly comes but once a year,
but it’s dull. We must fix up the Eagle,
get the Goddess anew set of teeth
and a waterfall, and have 4th of July
got up regardless of expense. Wo must
give all the Mormon women a husband
apiece, marry the anxious schoolmarms
that come down South to teach the
darkies, put the niggers to work, build
a horse rail road lrom New York to the
City of Mexico, dam up the Gulf
Stream, lick England (old and new),
annex Cuba, and we will be agaiu a
great and glorious country.”
Successfui. Trap for Rogues.— Tire
Charleston South Carolinian states that
on the 2lld ult., three thieves were found
dead behind the counter of a druggist in
King street in that city. It seems that
poison had been put in some food and
placed in a convenient position, which
the robbers had eaten and died.
