There arc, however, a few localities along Broad street which we are surprised to notice in a very ‘‘bad way.” Is there not on the City Statute Rook nn ordinance compelling owners of property to keep their pave meuta iu good condition ?It not, there should be. If there is, the law should be enforced.

The robber was after enjoying the holidays, but he got a species of popper which he did not like much, but which will give him holiday from work for some time. We hope that it will be a lesson to him, and cause him to do better in future.

Moore tendered him a complimen tary supper, which was accepted, and proved to be a very pleasant affair. It was gotten up in a most recherche style at the St. Charles Saloon. Mr. M.oore has been for a long time in tne employ of Messrs. I. Kahn & Cos , and has, by his gentlemanly deportment and numerous sterling qualities, won many friends, who gave him this supper as an evidence of their appreciation of his merits, and to offer them an oppor tunity of tendering their heartfelt wishes to him for his present welfare and future happiness and pros; crity. An Ediior Gone. — The Rome Com menial, of the 21st instant, had the following apology: Our Associate begs to be excused for the present week, his Chair Edito rial, ns he „ lias engagements ou hand that requires all his time. Such en gagements frequently trustrste gentle fneii’s ideas, and give them what, in common parlance, is termed the cold chills, but as we propose to say more in regard to this matter in our next, we merely render the above as an apology for this week. Success and happiness attend him until then. In the Courier , of Saturday, the fol lowing notice explains the mystery: Married, on the 20th instant, at the residence of the bride’s father, Hon. J. VV. H. Underwood, of this place, by Rev. C. VV. Williams, Mr. M. A. Nkvin, Associate Editor of the R ime Commer cial, to Miss Helen A. Underwood. We had the pleasure of meeting with our editorial brother, Kevins, in this City a few days since. He and Ids happy bride have our best wishes. ‘Will .Making and Contesting.— Our courts ol law are constantly occu pied with confirming or upsetting some body's “will and, judging from oar exchanges, the practice is universal. Wilis are disputed and contested on every Imaginable ground and pretense, and the motives and conduct of the dead are shown up variously, and often ridicu lously. In fact, few tilings show the human character in a more ridiculous tluyi the circumstance of will making. Ail that people seem to think of, in too many cases, is to manage matters so (in settling accounts with those who are uninanneily .enough to survive us) as to do as little good, and to plague and disappoint as many per. sons as possible. Hence the Constant litigation abpgt wills., Pranks of a Quadruped,— Y'ester day forenoon, a gay and festive horse, aatidsoinelv caparisoned, withovt a rider, might have been seen dashing up Broad street, at a gait considerably more ac celerated than agreeable Ip pedestrians in that crowded thoroughfare, inasmuch as the last equine gave preference to the .sidewalks. We ate pleased to chronicle that nobody wus Wirt.; and feel sure that the proprietor ot the nag will unite n the expression ot thanks that the latter passed in safety over the pitfalls, in tin: shape Jif ragged pavements, along his route. ‘ We embrace the occasion to direct the attention of the proper authorities to the aforesaid pavements. If not .fixed, somebody’s horse (or wife, or little child) will get hurt if nop good at jumping. ____ The Hicks SIKA.w KsGivfo —Tile Hick* 9ft«m ErtgimrfJoinpuny, of Del aware, of which B andon Duncan is President, and Thomas R. Sharp is Generul Superintendent, are getting up u very superior engine. It is cheaper, lighter, occupies less space, consumes less fuel than auy.other engine, and is superior every way.

U- Cowan ; Shropshire, Henderson & Cos.; Uomly, Joy k Cos.; Jouett, Hall * Cos.: Hon. If. W. Johnson, and Hon. W . M. Gwin. These engines are highly com mended by all who have used them; and it is the desire of the President to introduce them liberally into the South. Parties desiring to obtain further infor mation concerning them can do so by applying to the Proprietor ol this paper. Shopping Incident.— The other day, a lady was examining the fine shawls and cloaks upon the life-size frames in a certain store, and finally found a siik elouk that pleased her very much. She raised it up, examined it carefully, and wax at tint conclusion very much aston ished to find that she had been making free with tlie dress of a lady customer who very quietly stood, aa still as a lay figure, till all of the trimmings of her dress had been well examined 1 Cheap Luxuries. —There nre many people who think there can be no great luxury without a proportionate cost. Their view is founded on ihe mistaken notion that all luxuries are expensive, and that only the rich —whom they therefore envy—can enjoy them to any extent. This is far from the truth. Sup pose the air we breathe, the sunshine that warms us, the melodies of nature that charm our ears, tho wonders of earth and sea and sky that delight out eves, and all the common blessings God has vouchsafed to us without tax or limit, were only- to he had for gold for much fine gold—would we not esteem them above rubies? above all that gold can purchase? Yet these are the free luxuries of all who have the sensibility to appreciate them. But beyond these blessed surround ings tiiere are abundant cheap acquired luxuries. The humblest home may have the delicious luxury of flowers, that cost only a little labor and care, which they will repay a thousand fold. There need be no fireside without the luxury of books, inusie and conversation, which are of easy culture and acquirement, j 'lhc greatest luxury of all, a cheerlul | contentment, is unpurchaseable, aud yet j may dwell with comparative poverty, j 'ihe poor and hutnhle have more of it j than the rich ad proud. It is a sad mistake to suppose that luxuries aye, or can he, monopolized by the rich. To the soul of large wlsdou most of the so called luxuries are hut costly vanities and vexatious, while the rarest real luxuries are free or cheap, and are only j undervalued or despised because they j are strewn so bountifully in our way. Pain Killer. —Pain is supposed 1 1 be the lot ot us poor mortals, as inev Ruble as death, and liable at any time to come upon us. Though we do not subscribe to this doctrine in all its length and breadth, believing that our pains, acmes, aud sicknesses are the result of our own folly, our violation of nature’s laws as they have been instituted by the Creator, still it is undeniable that the race has degenerated, and that all of us bear about us the seeds of disease as they have followed the great law of he reditary descent. Therefore it is impor tant that remedial agents should be at hand to be used on any emergency, and when the seminal principle lodged in the system shall devclope itself, and we be made to fee! the excruciating agonies of pain, or the depressing influences of disease. Such a remedial agent exists in the Pain Killer of our fellow townsmen; Perry Davis & Son, whose fame has ex tended over all the earth, and whose names are blessed even from the rising of the sun to the going down thereof. Tho Pain Killer has made the circuit of the globe. Amid the eternal ices of the polar regions, or beneath the intolerable aud burning sun of the tropics, its virtues are known and appreciated. Under all latitudes, from the one extreme to the other, suffering humanity has found re lief from many of its ills. The wide and broad area over which this medi cine has spread, attests its value and potency. No other has, to our know-1, edge, been so universally and favorably received. It has made its own highway, solely by its virtues. Such unexampled success and popu larity has brought others into the field, who have attempted to eclipse the origi nal. But we are pleased to know that their efforts have pro ved fruitless. Under similarity of name they have attempted to usurp the confidence of the people and turn it to their own selfishness and dishonesty. But the people, true to thr one who was their real benefactor, have, in the main, stood by the original; the imposters and their nostrums have sank into oblivion and merited contempt. The I’ain Killer derives much of its popularity from the simplicity attending its use, which gives it a peculiar value in a family. The various diseases which may be reached by it, and, in their in cipient stages, eradicated, arc among those which are peculiarly fatal if suf fered to run ; but the curative magic of this preparation at once disarms them of their terrors. In all respects it ful fills the conditions of a popular medi cine. Stick to it, therefore: buy the l the original and genuine. —Providence Tillies. Ax Imposing Ceremony. —Under this 1 head the Savannah .Morning News nnd j Herald , of Dec. 24th, gives the follow j lug account of the imposing ceremonies attendant upon the re interment ol j Bishops Barry, Gartland, and Barron, j Fathers Hook aud Gillespie, and four Sisters of Charity in that city oil Sunday | last. Some of the Catholics of this city j went down to Savannah to witness the \ solemn ceremonies. The News and j Herald says: Yesterday afternoon was appointed j for the re-interment of the remains of j the Bishops of the Catholic Church, the bones of whom were gathered by mem bers of the congregation in tiiis city when they were disinterred by the crec- j tion of the earthworks in the Catholic I Cemetery soon after the occupation of j the city by the Federal troops. The services were held iu St. John’s Church, aud weie conducted by the Right Reverand Bishop Verot, assisted by the Reverend Fathers Defau nnd Delafusse. The chuich was crowded, and long belore ih ; hour named for the j c jmmencemeut it was impossible to ~ obtain even standing room within the edifice. At the! conclusion of tho ser vices at the church a procession of the children of the Catholic schools was formed, preceded by four boys, each bearing a wax taper. Then came the hearses, five in number, and when ap posite the house of the Sisters of Mercy they were stopped and freighted with all that remained of those whom thousands ot men aud women hold dear to mem ory Bishop F. X. Gartland, Bishop Barry, Bishop Barron, Fathers Hook and Gillespie, and four Sisters of Mercy. Bishop Barry died in Paris in 1859- and his remains were brought here some time si lice by the Right Reverend Bishop ~Verot. r . As the mournful cortege bearing tliu mortal remains of these venerated per sons passed, every hat was raised and every head bowed in solemn silence. A long train of carriages followed to the cemetej-y, but were uot allowed to enter. 1 lie occupants followed to the receptacle prepared for the reception of the re mains. A large vault has been erected, over which, we learn, it is the intention to build a chapel. The ceremony ot sprinkling with holy water was performed h- re, and occupied considerable time, and at about dusk the children returned to their homes, The observances of the occasion were solemnly impressive, aud were witnessed with respectful interest by thousands of people. fin ©clcgtajil).

COMMERCIAL, Augusta Market. Aroi—TA. Dec. 27—0 P. M. COTTON.—There has been a fair demand to-day, with but a light offering .-took. Holders are firm in their views, and Fales were made at: yesterday’s prices. At tho close of the market ihe same prices ruled stiff. Thk Commercial and Financial Chronicle, of New York, under date of Friday, P. M., December 21at, 181 G, says : The receipts of Cotton the past week at all the pons amount to’ 7-3,012 bales o>< ring the largest receipts for any week this season), against 63,911 bales the previous week, makim? the total receipts since September Ist. this year, 594,715 bales, against 741,388 bales for the same period in 1805. I’m- the cor responding week of 1865, the receipts were 79,922 bales. The exports from all the ports this week amount to 31,664 bales, against 24,281 bales hist week, of which 28,120 bales were to Liverpool, 362 bales to Havre, 1,153 bales to Bremen, 1.000 to Barcelona, 938 to Mexico. The total foreign exports from the United States since September Ist, now amount to 214,841 biles, against 362.266 bales lustyiar. The market this week has shared but little in the excitement which the cable telegrams lead us to suppose has pre vailed in Liverpool. And yet the failure of this market to respumi is more ap parent than real siqee a decline of four per cent, in gold, and a small advance in freights, have, of course, had their natural influence in offsetting the rise in Liverpool. Receipts at the ports have slightly increased, and stocks now reach a very high figure, amounting iu the aggregate to 48-1,349 bales.
