*tßouu iH Bui.tocn County.—A
correspondent *ot this Savannah Herald,
writing from Bulloch county, says that a
physician of that place was called te attend
two men who had arrived from Savannah.
They were found to be suffering from an at.
task of eholara in its most malignant form.
These men had been in the employment of
the Government on Tybee Island, (at had
fled thence te Bulloch county, hoping to
escape the disease. One of the men died;
the other stands a chance of recovery.
This circumstance appears to exhibit a
certain degree of carelessness In those
oharged with the execution of quarantine
regulations. There must be greater vigi
lance exercised 1 over those persons who hare
been put on Tybee Island, else the fearful
malady from which they are suffering will
soon spread over the entire State.
Let more rigid measures of prevention
and precaution be adopted so that the
people on the coast and the interior may be
safe from the dreadful disease which reapod
such a harvest of death in the far Bast last
summer, and is even now waving its black
plumes over many family altars in North
ern cities.
Eating loe Cream.—From morn till
eve do we hoar on our streets the song of
iee cream hucksters: “Hero’s your ice
cream, passing by," etc. Every child in the
olty, from three years old to ten, has
oaught tho air of the mongrel song, and
sings it with a rim. Ico cream is very good,
and noeds not such a ory to find purchasers.
In all things, however, it is well to be tem
perate, and upon the observance of time in
eating depends one’s health, and oft times
life.
In Hall’s Journal of Health people are
advised not to cat ice cream immediately
aftet eating a meal. It destroys all the
heat of the body which is needed to digest
food. Deaths have frequently been caused
by this common practice, and disease is
oftcu bred by it. No one .should eat ice
cream before two hours after a meal.
Horse Trleves. — The Chattanooga
Union understands that Dade county, and
other portion*, of eountry adjacent, is in
fested at times by horse thieves. It does but
little good to arrest tbeso depredators and
commit them to jail, as they generally con
trive to get out in the course of a few weeks.
Wo notice that in Missouri, Illinois, and in
that direction, when the citizens get hold
of a horse thief, he is apt to get looso before
he reaches the jail, and no ono hoars of him
any more. It is, perhaps, the only effectual
way to get rid of the thieves.
A Chase. —As a policeman was
taking a colored man to the guard-house
yesterday, about noon, oharged with steal
ing, the latter tripped the former up, at the
City Hall gate, and attempted to make his
escape; but policeman Olive happened to
be a little too quick for him and started in
pursuit. A few shots were fired at the re
treating foe, as persuasives to a stoppago
on his part, and, after a short case, he was
re-captured and secured.
Parlies arrested by the police are very
foolish to attempt an escape. They should
know that it only makes matters worse for
them in tho long run.
Brownlow’s Victim Released.—
Tho poeee comitalue , ordered by the Court
in the haheat corpue case of tho ex-members
of the Tennessee Legislature, under arrest
by the House, broke into the Capitol and
rescued the prisoners from the custody of
tho Scargant-at-Arms. On being brought
before the Judge by the Sheriff and his
posse, the cx-Members wero discharged
from arrest. Brownlow’s Conrt declared
that this was inaugurating civil war.
Burned to Death. —Miss Fanny For
rest, niece of General Forrest, was burned
to death at the residence of Dr. Ayres, near
Hannibal, Mo., on Monday last, by tho ex
plosion of a can, from which she was pour
ing coal oil at the timo upon some burning
wood, in order to kindle tho fire more ra
pidly. She lived only a few hours after the
accident. Miss F. was about nineteen years
old.
Paper Statue. —Miss Minnie Ream
has been appointed by Congress to execute
a life size statue of Lincoln, for which, it
appears from a recent sheet, that she will
require ten thousand dollars. This amount
will make a very nice bundle.
A New Paper. —Major Dick Orme,
formerly of Atlanta, is preparing to issue
the first number of a weekly newspaper in
Brunswick, to be called the Brunswick
Courier.
Major Orme is a gentleman of ability-
His paper will certainly prove a success.
New Invention. —Mr. Wallwork, of
Sbelbyville, Tenn., claims the title to an
invention which will supercede all other
kinds of signals in use on railroads. He
professes to bo able, by the application of
this invention, to stop a train, if desired, at
any distance, and to shut off steam from an
engine five miles away, the same as if he
were on the engine.
Coal Oil.—F. Holman advertises in
another column, somo excellent Lubri
cating Oil, for sale low, by the barrel or
gallon, at his store, opposite the Planters’
Hotel.
Those interested in the raffle for tluf
enamelled Watch and Chain, are notified
that the same will take place to-night at 8
o’clock, at the Oglethorpe.
Groceries. —James G. Bailie & Bro.
advertise a fine lot of groceries in another
column. Give them a call if you wish
bargains.
Lard.— Messrs. Clarke & Derry have
for salo some fine Virginia Leaf Lard. Call
and examine it.
Belligerent.—^Wednesday tJnIW a
“belligerency" took place In the vicinage of
that remarkable locality knuwn as Hawk’s
Gaily. It was night time, and the “full
orbed moon was shedding her silvery light
upon the earth.” The parties were repre
sentatives of Americans ind Cushites; the
prime cause was children. It appears that
some little minks were sporting in the
moon-light when interrupted by the Cush
ite, who bears the reputation of boing ex
ceedingly saucy—a constant disturber of
the publio peace. It was to punish this
member of tbe corps de Afrique for bis in
solence that the white man smote him With
impressive force, leaving signs on the
Cushite which tho Good Book tells us
speaks so well and favorably for a wound.
Tbe difficulty had not grown to portentious
import when ono of our vigilant policeman
made his appearance, and put a quietus on
the affair by promptly arresting tho guilty
party.
Tbe evening preceding the one on which
tbe above mentioned diffioul'y occurred,
witnessed a little “pass-at-arms” between
a soldier and a freedman. Inasmush as we
saw the soldier in arrest, we snppose he
must have been the bead centre of conflict.
He was very loquacious, and from the tem
per of his language was evidently not a
believer in the equality of the races.
It seems impossible, notwithstanding the
warning given and punishments inflioted
for denizens and sojourners here, to move
along in tho even tonor of their way. They
must occasionally and. senii-occasionally
break the quiet which, at times, is almost
monotonous, compared with last Winter’s
scenes. Perhaps thoy may be concurring
iu tho regular order of events ; sure it is
theso disturbances add a certain amount to
the public treasury, or failing to do this,
never fails to feo the Clerk of the Court,
before which thoy may be arraigned.
Youthful Bobbers. —ln San Fran
cisco tho police have discovered a gang of
thieves, the oldest of whom is not over six
teen or seventeen years of ago, with a regu
lar organization, who have constructed
caverns underneath the sidewalks in unfre
quented localities, in which they burrow,
and from which they oonstruct tunnels to
adjacent stores. They are thus enabled to
carry on the most systematic robkory, with
but few chances of being detected.
Poetical. —The Local of the Mobile
Advertiser, being at tho Mayor’s Court some
days sinee, where tilting hoops were “bob
bing ’round” in a promiscuous manner, say.-
he could not restiain his poetical fancy as
he gazed on tho scene, and thought how
mnch
“These hoops wore like the poet Gray,
* As we could plainly see;
For they, as Gray, did show tho world
A beautiful LEG !”
Free Paper in Texas.—We have
received a copy of the Merchants’ Tran- '■
script, a free circulating paper, published at
Houston, Texas, by W. N. Bryant. It is a
wall tins uLoot, aaalala. a- langa advsr-.-
tising patronage, and is issued twice a;
week, and distributed throughout the State
and on all rail roads and steamboats gratis.
Success to the Merchants' Transcript.
New Firm.— Geo. R. Crump & Cos.
have associated with them in business Mr.
B. Davison, long and favorably known
as a Commission Morchant of our city.
The firm has heretofore enjoyed a fine repu
tation, and we hope will continue to do
so, and receive that patronage which they
so justly deserve.
Question for Bachelors.— Can “you
tell,” asked a blooming lass of a suitor
once, “what ship carries more passengers
than tbe Great Eastern ?” “Well, Miss,
really I don't think I can,” responded the
suitor. “Why, it is Court-ship,” replied
the maiden, with a conscious blush.
Rain. —Our city was blest yesterday
with a refreshing, dust-laying, and welcome
shower. We are confident that rain was
never more heartily wished for, or received,
by almost any people, than by our city
bound readers and expectant farmers.
Late Papers.?—We are indebted tn
our friend Quinn for New York papers i l
Wednesday, and a Baltimore Sun of tl •
same date, ahead of the mail. All kinds <•*
papers can bo had at Quinn’s Literary
Depot.
Pickpocket Arrested. Yesterda >
Policeman Shackleford arrested a your ■
froedmen, in Bridgo Row, for picking tl '
pockets of a “fellow servant” from the rur
districts. The youth was carried to jar-
He had an accomplice, but the latter man
aged to escape.
Another Arrest. —A negro namf »
Thomas Dugas alias Davis, was arrestt I
yesterday on the charge of being an accon
plice of parties who havo been for somo tin \
engaged stealing cows.
Bring Them Right Back.— The gen
tinman who took a bunch of keys from tl i
Clerk of Council’s desk, yesterday, by mi -
take, is requested to return the same to-da i
Accident. Yesterday afternoon
Willie Bawls, a little boy,who resides in tt'
Jower part of the city, had his left at '
broken, while playing on the River ban •.
near Kirkpatrick’s place.
Beef, Bkef.— Good Beef is offert *
for sale at the corner of Ellis and Campb
streets this morning. Go there and g t,
some.
To Rent.— A fire-proof store and
desirable dwelling is offered for rent in a
other column, by Mrs. Rossiguol. See a '
vertisement.
Vnottaot,* THirvxs.— lke sardonic
Interpretation of “ vegetable thieve*’’ hath
been rendered by one person, at least, to be
'< thievee whe make it their kuainess clan
destinely to appropriate vegetables, not law
fully their own.”
We heflr frequent complaints; ofl the part
of citizen* who, with great care and patience,
to say nothing at all about the manual la
bor exercise which they have taken, culti
vated very nice gardens of corn, cabbages,
tomatoes, and such other vegetables as are
\utiiUble and to bo desiHiJ, that these gar
dens are being nightly despoiled by certain
ones who, though ashan ed to beg, dare to
steal.
It is bad to have hopes blasted, be they
dependent upon what they may, and the
disappointment is greater still when that is
stolen from us. to tho enjoyment of which
we have often looked forward with pleasure,
i. c. a fine dinner of vegetables of our own
raising. Such was the ill-luck of a young
man whom wo know. At dewy eve his
frow, mother and himself walked into the
garden, and observing around, said: “What
a dinner we'll havo !” They retired to their
respective quarters at a respectable hour,
and arose in tbe morning to find the sun
pouring his parching rays upon a cabbage
less, cornless, denuded garden. Other in
stances of the same kind have latoly come
to our knowledge.
Out, say we, upon vegetable thieves ; the
police cannot catch them, becanso they ope
rate from neighboring yards. Let the peo
ple watch for them.
—A missionary asked an Indian
“llow do you know there is a God ?”
Pointing to footsteps in the 3and, the
savage answered, “How do you know
that men have been here?”.
—“Do you know who I am?” said an
officer to a fellow whom he had by the
collar. “Not exactly, sir,” the fellow
replied; “but I think you must be the
malignant collerer.”
