Runaway. —A four horse team took

career. Among the vehicles with which
they collided, was a buggy in which Dr.
Felder was riding. He was thrown out,

fortunate that the damage was not more
serious.

Pkbonky's Stock Sal* To-Day.—

rate and in fine condition for present

are to be conducted in a spirit of the
utmoit candor and fairness—that par
ties will not be allowed to put off a spu
rious for a genuine article. That all
known defects hi either mules or
horses, will be frankly given to
the crowd- Upon this basis only, is It
hop.-d or desired to establish n new fea
ture in the method of supplying stock to
our planting (riends and others in wuntot
them. Therefore we would advise our
friends if they want to buy or have stouk
to be on hand to-morrow.
From the Altar to the Tomb.—
Wc have seldom recorded a more touch*
ing dispensation of the destroying angel
than the death of Mrs. Kill.;, the young
and beautiful bride of T P. Brafieh,
Esq., and daughter of Captain Thomas
P. Stovall, of this City. She died very
suddenly, on yesterday, of acute rheu
matism. It is but a few weeks since
she was led to the altar, in the bloom
and freshness of health and beauty,
with such promise of happiness as
elicited the congratulations of the wide
circle in which she was a cherished
favorite. How true, that—
‘-Death loves a shining mark.”
The whole community sympathize
with the husband and family of this
lovelv young lady, in their crushing
affliction.
The Hanlons.—We have seldom, i
ever, had an entertainment in Augusta
presenting such varied and striking ex
cellencies. as are embraced in the Han
lon combination, which have just opened
at Concert Hall. Unlike too many ot
the dramatic companies which have
favored us with one or two actors o
merit, while, the balance bore us with
their mediocrity—Every member of this
Troupe is of the first order of excellence,
and the mind is kept in constant play of
admiration and wonder as each succes
sive feature of the varied programme is
presented.
Senorita Rosita illustrated the poetry
of motion in her light rope
and fully proved the claim to the high
praise bestowed on her by the press.
The great feature-nf the evening is
the wonderful posturing and acrobatic
manoeuvres' of the the three brothers
who are as perfect in their physical de
velopment us in their marvelous acting.
Tiie tricks of the performing dogs and
monkeys were very amusing, and showed
the surprising aptness of those animals
in the hands of a patient and devoted
master.
The grace and skill displayed by tbe
Juggler is an attractive feature of the
programme.
The Sphynx and Shadow Pantomime
are amusing and ingenious novelties.
Indeed, the whole performance is worthy
of praise, and we cordially endorse tbe
. following farewell allusion to this com
pany. by the Charleston Courier, at the
conclusion of a most successful season
in that city: “Their performances,
whilst combining the miraculous in tbe
aerobatic art, tbe ludicrous and wonder
•ful in the juggling line, and perfection
itself in the exhibition of the sagacious
in monkeys and dogs, aie all free from
anything which can offend the most sen
sitive taste. If our neighbors in Au
gusta fail to patronize the Hanlons, they
should only be excused by pleading the
‘contraction of the currency.’ ’’
St. Valentine’s Day. —To morrow—
14th—is the day set apart for the t!is
patch of love-laden missives, by modest
maids and pensive swains who may avail
themselves of this delicate mode of
placing their offerings on tho altar of
Cupid. We are told that St. Valentine
was a holy priest, aud that he was
arrested by Claudius 11. for his intoller
ant persecution of those who repudiated
his faith, aud after ineffectual attempts
to make him recant and renounce his
religious belief, was beheaded, on the
14th of February, by the Prefect at
Rome. We do not understand why the
fickle goddess of love should have
selected this grim and incorrigible old
prelate as tbe patron saint of the tender
passion. Rut it is said that love works
by contraries, and we may accept its
time-honored decrees and ask no pro
fane questions. It is enough for us to
know that Cupid will assert his preroga
tive on the occasion, and that lie will
bear any number of tender missives
to tbe members of his court.
The coarse jests and vulgar cariea.
tures which obtain currency on this day,
are perversions of its priviliges—for the
sentiment of love is too sacred to be
trifled with, and the tender associations
which relate to the union of hearts and
hands should not be made the agencies
of inflicting pain, or indulging a spirit
of jealousy or reveDge.
But, since practical jokes have be
come a part of the pastime of the day,
let them he conveyed and received in
the right spirit, that no pangs may lin
ger in the yo.sy bowers where Cupid
twangs the bow and points the arrow.
Stepping into our friend Quinn’s, at
the Literary Depot, on Broad street,
opposite our office, we found there a
great variety of these missives, em
bracing the beautiful, the sentimental,
the offerings of friendship, (he sarcastic,
the comic, the ludicrous, and the sug
gestive caricature, in fact something to
suit the tastes of all classes of people,
and all sizes of purses, ranging in price
from ten cents to ten dollars each.
The number of immigrants arrived
in New York from January Ist, to Feb
ruary G, was 7,883, against 11,260 same

Coi.oßßi> Child Drowned, —An in
fant child of Delia Wright, a freed
womnn, was drowned in the river at the
lower end of the City yesterday morning.
The circumstance as detailed to us was
as follows; A small colored boy was
nursiug the infant, on the hank of the
river, and allowed the latter to crawl too
near the edge, whence it rolled down th e
bank and fell into the river, breaking its
neck. A white man who was in a
bateau at the time saw the occurrence
and went to the rescue; but it was too
late to do any good. He, however, suc
ceeded iu recovering the body of the
infant.

Anecdote of J. Caesar—By the
Same.— Csesar stood upon the highest
pinnacle of «his glory, and reviewed bis
adamantine legions. As the countless
multitudes passed before him, sad
thoughts crowded into his mind.
“Alas !" thought he, “but a short while,
and all these will have passed away ; a
thousand years from now, and scarcely
one ot them will survive. Alas! and is
it so? Alas! Alas! Ha! Ha!”
A Tombola in Columbus.—The peo

drawn.
Provided the sale of tickets reaches
2,000, a library of a hundred volumes
will he awarded to the holder of the
last ticket drawn.
The names of a number of leading

published iu connection with the affair,
and contributions are solicited. Appli
cants for tickets by mail must address

Miscellaneous.
Washington, Feb. 12—P. M.
The Mexican Minister discredits the
reported defeat and capture of Presi
dent Juarez.
The Republicans are tar from hope
ful of getting Elliott’s bill through the
Senate in time to become a law this
session. It is popular with them, mid
is considered an initiatory step. They
expect to apply it to all the States.
The District Supreme Court decides
the Magruder case, who, after disavow
ing allegiance to Great Britain and
affirming his belief in the Christian
Religion, swearing allegiance to the
United States, was admitted to practice,
and subsequently became a Confederate
officer. In extenuation of his breaking
the oath, Magruder plead that he be
lieved that lie owed fealty first to bis
native State, and next to the Federal
Government. This Judge Carter main
tained, itself would bar his admission,
even if the test oath did not exist. The
constitutionality, propriety, and necessity
of tlie oath is undoubted by the Court.
They did not argue the mandatory char
acter of the Supreme Court in the deci
sion of cases claimed to be different.
These questions were regarding existing
members here, and their original
admission. He claimed the right intent
in the Court to admit or reject appli
cants, while the action of the Supreme
Court itself, ruling by a bare majority of
one, left the Court free to form its own
opinions ot the rule regarding the test
oath, and Magruder’s application was
rejected.

Custom House funds at Boston show
doubtful practice, implicating four Gov

ple thereby exhibited is a dangerous
one, and the precedent, if it shall go
unchecked and unrebuked, will detnor
alize, if not debauch the whole public
service of the country.
