To Ou* Out Fathsxs:—Mb, Editor. Tho beauty of my article will consist in its brevity. I am cohatantly ig dread of fires, and as wo have no cisterns near os, I wish to suggest to our “City Fathers” the propriety of constructing one upon “Markham street," near the oolored Bap tist Church. By adopting that locality, an immense expense may be saved to this oity, as there is already an excava tion in this atreet whioh would hold acme 60,000 gall ana of water. To complete this work, it is only necessary for the sides to be squared suitable for the brick work, and the removal of the carcass of an old ox, whioh, in attempting to pass along the street, fell in and broko his nock, where he still remains, very much resembling a nuisance. Bob. Short. “At."—The word af Is very strangely used in this section of country. It is provincialtem whioh we have found pecu liar to North Georgia and Eastern Ala bama.

Separating Man and Wife.—“Let no man put nsundor” is au injunction that railroads, at least, do not beod. In the early part of last week a young Virginia gentleman went to Mobile, and married him a young and beautiful wife. Arriv ing at Montgomery Friday morning, he went out for breakfast—leaving hia bride on the train. He finished his meal, and hastened oat just in time to see the train move ont of sight. Here was a predict- ient. It wai unless to attempt to over take it; banco there was nothing left tor him to do bat to pine away a whole day in Montgomery, and take the night train. He telegraphed to hia bride, uud in tho afternoon received a reply that ahe waa here at the Kimball Houso waiting for him. He took tbe night train, and was one of the passengers delayed by the burning of tha wood station. Of course he spent the night in a “fine frenzy, and would have doDO some “tell swear ing” if he hadn’t just married. He bad the sympathy of all bis fellow passenger* However, tbe longest nighta will away, and tbe slowest trains will reach their destination at last! Yesterday at ton o'clock he arrived here, and rushed to the Kimball House, where he found hia bride well cared for, and happy loses him.

Mayor's £oubt—The Fibsi Thing that Pro Tem Lowry encountered Fri day morning, was that famous slsugh ter pen. - He was appalled at the sight of those hog-murderers. The Court, not satisfied with the testimony of hu man witnesses, had invoked tbe spirits of the departed cattle and swine, to tes tify against their persecutors, and the room was resounding with sepulchral grunts sad demoniacal bellows, that mode tho tribunal quake with fear and trembling. Lowry, in this emergency, dismissed them until Tuesday, hoping that Hia Honor's favor with Plutonian spirits would conciliate the vengeance of these assassinated swine. Let the pub- lie hope sad trust that this slaughter-pen question, which threatens to revolution iae our social system, wil be wisely dis posed of on Tuesday next AN UNsOPHUTIOATXD COUNTRYMAN happened to spy Fatty Harris, and was so overpowered with his genial philanthro pic smile, the innooeut, benevolent mien and the commanding and reveren tial dignity of thia modern giaut, that he fell down, like a Ganges Hindoo, in mute adoration, believing him to be demigod. Fetty vanished and left the poor innocent bewildered at thia super natural vision. A policeman come along, washed the mud from his faoe, pumped the aontagious fumes of Radi oatiam, (which had been so nearly fetal) from his nostrils, conducted him like a lamb, to Lowry, who tekl him Harris was the very d—deuce, and ohargr-dhim <5 for tbe lesson. “God bless you, ” said the unfortunate chiid. byt wishes for year future prosperity, aid our prayers for your sucoeaa in ail the various departments of life.

The great Leo don fire of I860 gave birth to the system of fire insurance, sod it is a safe predic tion that the ChSoego fire, which, in every way, surpassed that of London, will stim ulate the trasbuw of strong American Mnpanies.

Mo- Daniel of Bartow, formerly of Gwinnett eoonty, a son of Judge MoDaniel, prominent citizen residing a few miles from LawreuceviHe. This horrible affair took plaoe on the evening of Thtusday last, after sapper. Tho particulars were given to Dr. D'Al- vigny by a party who waa in the honse at the time of the killing, and are deemed ratable The report is that J0r. MoD. was mttShg in a choir mining hia babe, whioh waa fretful when hia brather-to- law (brother of hie wife), Mr. Lindsay Johnson, name fa to the roam aad caning him, oalling him a fool and asking why he did not quiet tbe oliild. Tbe Doctor rose from hia (eat in anger, laid down tb* child, and remarked that he could .not take such offensive language from any one. Mr* McD. interfered to prevent a oolliaioB, when bar brother, Mr. John son, walked back into tbe adjoining room of tbe same building—in which he and his mother resided—and qrnpldy re turned with a pistol' to bis hand, zhot the Doctor three time*—through the urn*, head and body—either one of which would have proved fatal He died very quickly. It is said that Mr. Johnson wu intoxicated. It fa believed there no previous ill ieeliug between them— though it fa said there wu some un pleasantness between the Lteotor and other members ef the family. This shoekiog affair hu created intense excitement among all classes of people in the county.
