City Election. —lt will be seen, by
reference to the list of recently elected
Municipal Officers, that several of the
late officers have been re-elected. In
fact, there have been but few changes.
Among them is Isaac Levy, Esq.,
Oity Sheriff. This gentleman, is a wor
thy and efficient officer, and has held this
position for a number of years, satis
factorily to Council and creditably to
bitnself.
Our old friend, James Mullen, St*,
it gives us no little pleasure to an

the City Hall., A more faithful and
attentive officer can not be found ; and
every Council recognizes the old gen
tleman's merits by keeping him in a
position which he so honorably filis.

which he so well deserves.

1 OiJa Binder.-*-A( gay and festive daryr
sel who is known .about town as ‘'China
nooga Liz” was out stargazing last
night, and became so dizzy that she fell
by, the wayside, and was picked up by
the police, Several soldiers of a sentr
mental and sympathising tnrn of tilled-,
were star-gazing with her at the lame
time, and being indignant that the
police should thus “tear the dear charm
er away" assaulted them with bricks.
The police bore the frail and fallen
Lizzie to the guard house, where, we
trust, a little reflection on her erratic
habits will have a salutary effect.
New Boot and Shoe Store—
Messrs. E. F. Blodgett & Cos., will open
on Wednesday next, at 279 Broad street,
one of the best selected stocks of Boots
and Shoes ever brought to this market!
The goods were purchased by Mr. Blod
gett himsel:, and are from the most re'
liable manufacturers. The stock em
brace every variety of style and quality,
suitable to the tastes and wants of all-
It is the intention of the firm to keep a
first class Boot and Shoe establishment.
Mr. Blodgett is a son of Foster" Blod
gett, Esq., and is a “chip of the old
bfock” in energy and devotion to busi
ness, and we commend the firm to the
favorable notice of our readers.
Outrage.—As a daughter (about six
years old) of one of our citizens, on
Friday morning, was goiug to a neigh
bor's house, she was accosted by a
negto girl, who politely addressed her,
saying r “Sissy, your ear rings are
loose—let me fix them for you.’’ The
little girl yielded. But instead-of se
curing tke ear rings tor the little girl,
the sable damsel secured them for her
self, and then took to her heels, saying,
at the same time, “I ain't got no time
to fool wid you, Sissy.”
The negro was arrested and recog
nized by the girl, aud brought before
Justice McLaws for trial.
County Court.—ln this Court, yes
terday morning, Judge McLaws pre
siding, the following cases were dis
posed of:
Charlotte ms. Stallings, application
for habeas corpus to recover a daughter
of the former, a child of thirteen years
of age. It appears from the evidence
that the plaintiff parted from her daugh
ter some eleven years ago; and now
comes to Augusta from Columbus to
recover her. Hence the application for
the writ. The, Court will give its dfe
cision on Tuesday next.
A colored man, charged with cheat
ing and swindling qnother colored man,
by attempting to piss upon him a brass
coin for u S2O gold piece, was bound
over.
Annual Meeting or Council.—At
tie meeting of Council, last night, pre
vious to the election of Officers, |he
following petitions were granted : ' J
From John Smith, for , free liquor
license ; Michael Sullivan, for free dray
license ; one from sundry planiers near

Du. M. Bernhardt Remain's One
Day LoNr.ER.--In consequence of the
great number of applications for relief,
and at the earnest request of many of
our prominent citizens, Dr. Bernhardt
has consented to remain, in the
City a few days longer. Per
sons suffering from defective vision,
should call at once at his office, Plant
ers’ Hotel. He is able to give relief
to nearly dll diseases of' the eye, and to
s reugtlien and restore the sight of those
who are partially blind. His glasses
are warmly recommended by profes
sional men, and by all who have used
them, as the best adapted to remedy
defective vision that have ever been
manufactured. The citizens of Au
gusta may not have another chance for
years of obtaining the best quality of
glasses.
P. 8. In consequence of the great
pressure of business, Dr. Bernhardt has
found it impossible to fill all the orders
awaiting his attention, and will remain
a few days longer. His rooms are at
i the Planter’s Hotel.
