Brown, extract teeth with itock FedC Cam, tbk Next.—A man was brought into Court on the charge of having stole some ducks from a farmer. “How do you know that they are your ducks ?” asked the defendant's counsel. “Oh, I should know them anywhere,” replied the farmer, who proceeded to describe their peculiarities. “Why," said the prisoner’s counseb “they cau’t be such a rare breed—l have some very much like them in my yard.’’ “That’s not unlikely, sir,” said the farmer, “as they are not the only ducir I’ve had stpleu lately.” J r The next witness was called. Attempted Rape.—Two negro men were committed to jail iu this eity on Saturday morning last, charged with having attempted the commission of the crime of rape upon a respectable young lady of this county. The young lady had retired, when she discovered the negroes in her room, and commenced screaming, which caused assistance promptly to be rendered. The negroes confessed their fiendish designs, nnd would have been summarily dealt with, but the majority of the neighbors, who had them in custody, decided to submit them to the law. —Bainbridge Argus, August 25th. , Present to Gen. Lee.—A splendid saddle was recently forwarded from Columbia, to General R. E. Lee, as a present from the Hon. M. Con nelly, M. P., who was a frequent guest of the General’s during the war. The saddle is of the English Horse Guard pattern, with holsters, pockets for writing materials, and a splendid shabrack of wool, bound with red cloth. The bridle and breaststrap are specimens of ad mirable workmanship ; the whole form ing a most useful and worthy present. Diamonds in Georgia.—ls the ladies -will call at I. Kahn & Co.’s, they can have an opportunity of investing in one of the most magnificent Diamond Raf fles of the age, consisting of nine Rings and three Pins, superbly set in the latest style. There are to be “0 chances at $lO each, and 12 prizes—the highest taking the first choice, the second high est the second, etc. Call soon, as the chances arc being rapidly taken. f The devoted parents of a Columbus Ohio, young lady, furnished her with a splendid wardrobe for a trip to New T. ork, in order to save her from the ad dresses of an objectionable young man. Miss packed up the dresses, and after ward packed off with the young man who had paid the addresses.— Exchange. She was evidently a young lady of considerable address. She left those who had paid for the dresses to go with the one who had paid the addresses. It is to be hoped that she will not find the swap an unfortunate one. An Albany laborer found two green backs, of one hundred dollar denomina tion, sewed up iu the sleeve of a second hand coat which he purchased from a fashionable hatter.— Exchange. Don’t everybody be running to fash ionable tailors to purchase second-hand coats, now ; for it is generally believed that the above was the last one on hand. A Poem entitled, “What constitutes a man ?” after enumerating certain quali ties and conditions, says: “These all united never can Avail to make a single man.” Os course not. The only thing to make a single man is for him never to get married. A Chance.—Nothing venture, noth ing make, is an adage as old as it is true. Go and test its worth by pur chasing $5 worth of choice dry goods or fancy articles from Messrs. I. Kahn & Cos., and thereby secure yourself a chance gratis, at the silk dress. Go and fail not. t A Memphis Alderman was fined $25, on the 11th inst., for striking the Mayor at a bauquet on the day previous; and the Mayor was fined $lO for being drunk.— Exchange. This was a striking instance of want of respect for the Mayor on the part of the Alderman, and a fine state of affairs generally. Rather too much spirit about those City Fathers for the city’s good. Little Johnny Clem, the juvenile hero of Chickamauga, is going to West Point. His fighting weight just now is sixty five pounds.— Exchange. A pleasing act of Executive Clem ency. The Weather.—After a considerable variety of weather in the past week or two, we were visited, yesterday, by a steady and acceptable rain. It was very refreshing, and will, doubtless, do much good. Ant person having a furnished house, containing from four to six rooms, can find a good tenant by application at this office. . BRAN, Etc. Epitone of the New*. A Prague dispatch, of the 24th, says the must pcrf«jA ooneor<L exists -among, the Plenipotentiaries here, and the treaty of peace, tin nigh not yet signed, is a curtain tv, and the news of it is hourly expected. An immense (fcto&nd has sprung up in Paris for Unitei, States 5-2 Q’s, and heavy orders for applies have be en telegraphed for to the Anggica* S|jreetH of the various banking in Nay York city, j Nkpoicpn ’ as the Eml - C»ri ! ;,rta of MexiwyVtssistance for Maximilian,, pn. th.g grouwl. “f keeping, good faith witii ‘thfe Ut.fteH'States con cerning the engagement to withdraw the French troops from that country, The following items are gleaned from late Cable dispatches: , London tbe w&rfias ertdey for the prfesent, but the leeling in Aus tria is peace at this time, but war in the future, to reflstablish her supramaey in Germany. WThe Labor Convention s Conunittee called upon the President J on Saturday, and related the acts of that body. The President said, in response, that he was for shortening the hours of labor to the least number consistent with the interest of all, and the laboring nien could rely upbn his influence when it could be given in their behalf. They had his sympathy and best feelings in their cause. He hoped they would accom plish their objects. r A Washington dispatch to the Asso ciated Press says the Washington Re publican denounces fitanUmwwvd charges on him a partial responsibility of 'the New Orleans riot. It says that he withheld from the President Balia's dis patch of July 28tli, prior to the riot, asking for immediate instructions itorw to act, and notices, the,/apt that Stanton did not even answer the' drspHtch. The President never saw this dispatch until Tuesday last. ‘ A London dispatch Os the 25th says ad vices were received in official circles in that city, on that day, announcing that a treaty of peace between the con tending powers of Prussia, Anstria, Italy and Bavaria was concluded by the Plenipotentiaries assembled at Pragufe on Thursday last. The treaty was offi cially signed by the Dhtß'potentiariee hi behalf of their respective Governments, on the same day. Among the provis ions of the treaty is.one that (tie troops now at different’ points shall evacuate their positions, and retire to their re spective homes within three weeks: Only a Fight and a Slight Theft. There is not much to report in a local way, aside from the Courts, and items elsewhere to be found in this paper. Two negro women collided a day or two ago, and after some scratching and hard words, one seized the hand of the other, and, thrusting the forq-fiuger in- her mouth, bit it severely. The women were then separated. The one whose finger was bitten seemed to be suffering”a great deal yesterday, and it is thought that amputation of thejiand will beebme ne cessary to the preservation of her life. A little negro girl stole all the money—a considerable amount—which her em ployer left in the drawer on going out to church. Nothing done in the ease of the latter. A pickpocket passed himself off on a party of Mobile gentlemen lately as a local editor in search of a few facts. He got a'l they bad, besides one or two gold watches, and one wallet containing sixty dollars.— Exchange. Anybody that can’t tell a pickpocket from a local editor ought to lose “one or two gold watches, and one wallet con taining sixty dollars." We could always tell the difference. They don’t look at all alike—haven’t the least resemblance. The discharge of private Thomas M. Finks, First Ohio Cavalry, which was filed at Columbus on the hth inst., has the names of forty-three engagements iti which he participated indorsed, on the back. Nineteen engagements took place in 1863, and twenty-four in 1864. — Exchange. A young lady observes that she doesn’t think any mac who has participated in forty-three engagements can ever get married ; he must be a he-eoquette. Miss Alice Cary Writes to deny a report, extensively copied iu the West, that she is the wife of a certain citizen in Michigan, and says she never was in Michigan, and never even heard the name of the gentleman mentioned.—* Exchange. Bat Alice doesn’t say that she is not somebody else’s wife, or intends to be. Perhaps she does not want to be the wife of a Michigander, for fear she might bo taken for a Michi-goose. There are in Cleveland, Ohio,twenty two men whose incomes are between twenty five and fifty thousand dollars, and two between fifty and one hun dred thousand dollars. A. Stone, jr.’s, income is $183,397. The next largest income is returned by Stillman Mitt, Esq., $128,391. — Exchange. The one is a precious Stone, and the other a rich specimen of native Wilt. L. B» Davis advertises a fine lot of groceries, etc., this morning, for sale cheap. Give him a hall. Geo. A. Oates advertises new books. For Sale by The Soldier’s Meeting.—Those of our readers who are partieqlgrlj inter ested in the announcement already made, ’will remember that the soldidf's meeting is called this evening, nj Place of meeting—Rooms over the es tablishment of Messrs. Force'S' Conley. When the soldiers hats taken the initiatory’fteps toward getting up a good Library, those of their number who have a fancy for Polemic associations might find it in! their power to organize at once, and: upon a sure basis, a good Debating Society. The speakers, doubt ) tpV urge the importance of adopt ing aud appropriating this means of im provement. - ~, . ~, M iv City CobßT.—Nothing of special im. , fas. done in ihe City Court - ytfeterday. The following named gen tlemen compose the Grand Jury : E. M r . Doughty, foreman ;1 Theodbre Carswell, Thomas Phinizy,, W>H. }/. Blair, Charles Dwelle, George Evers, Wm. M. Bailie, Thomas P.

Hollingsworth, l Bailiff Wm, W. King. The Firemen’s Library.—The gestions made a short time ago, in refer ence to the formation of a mutual Li" brary Association by the firemen of Au gusta, meets with the cordial approval of numbers, and it is devqufly to be hoped that the project will be pushed forward, that it may speedily become one of the fixed institutions of - the Citv. Personal.—We'had the pleasure, yesterday, of grasping the hand of our clever and talented friend—the City's efficient Wharfinger—Mr. Clay Foster, who has just returned from Kentucky, whither he went on a pleasure trip. He is lopking as healthy and robust as ever. Clay deserves to succeed, and succeed he will. We earnestly hope he May D(o)well. They Don't Obey.—Certain white boys in this city seem not to regard man hr fear God. They violate the laws of the Creator and created alike. And these boys are those who, instead of doing as they should on God’s Holy Day, spend their time in playing mar bles in the public streets. They should not be allowed to do thus. We con ceive it to be the peculiar province of the Police to put a stop to the practice. Boys, don’t be guilty of such conduct. If, however, they are, let the law officers arrest th#m. ’> We direct attention to the advertise ment of Messrs. W. A. Ramsey & Cos. They will deliver all packages of gro ceries, in any part of the City, free of' charge, which will be a great conve nience to their numerous patrons. They also keep constantly on hand a large supply of first class groceries. Notice to Planters.—Crump, Da vison & Cos., commission merchants, give notice in another column that they are now prepared to famish No. 1 Pe ruvian Guano, warranted genuine. The high standing of this firm gives assu rance of its being to the advantage of farmers to give them a call. Taxes.— An East Tennessee paper comes to us with eleven and a half col umns of land advertised for sale on the first Monday in September, at Cross ville, for small sums due taxes. Recorder's Court.—Only one case before the Recorder yesterday. A negro boy was bound over to the City Court to answer to the charge of assault and battery. For Sale.—A very desirable build ing lot is advertised for sale in another column. Apply to J. D. Butt & Bro., or at the office of the Augusta Bobbin Works.
