When discover ed, hie heed wee half burled In the mad ends sluice of water was playing tbe wild with hie mid dle sad latter extremities, and the moat touching and dolorous cries were spattering from hie month.

The Atlanta and West Point freight train carried some fine muloa and hwga yesterday down that road. A brisk Nor’wcstor started ap last night about aoven o’clock. Clear and cold weather may now be expocted. as tbe Almanackora ray. “ Abound thb oobnbb" o( tbe Moarnio building Fecbner keeps Juat the nicest sort of a place. All .quiet and genteel-no dead beats on hand. Tub telegraph wires yesterday were about twice the elxeof tho Atiautic cable. The sleet accumulated so mnch that tbe wires looked really beautiful. A steam engine backed off tbe track, ar Whitehall street croaking, yesterday. So mnch ice on the cross-ties tbe engineer “akeeled" it on the track again without difficulty.

Carroll will please stop a miuute till i cau thank hfm for a liberal supply of his cele brated lager beer and cream ale.

The sprigs of grass encased iu their Icy cov ings yesterday morning were M large as common bean pole. Recorder's Court. — The following parties were up before the Recorder, charged with city offenses of minor Importance and fined costs ol arrest: Jamte Dunn, Henry Holbrook, W. L. Walk er, Chas. Allen, J. A. Kelly, A. Ridley, W. McCarthy, M. E. Kibbetto. The polioe were toeling go good Wednesday they didn't have the “cheek” to arrest anyone. Thtft was tight, and where ail eoemed%> be enjoying the day, It would have appeared too bad march any one off to the calsbooeo. But on yes terday the fun was over. Very Low.—A leading wholesale mer chant of Atlanta, is of the opinion that the present low price of meat Is only temporary, end that, not withstanding the apparent “glut” in the market at ), meet will soon be lively, end speculation la that article will attract more than usual interest. A orevious strain on patience occurred with a uagro drayman, yeatarday. Hla wagon broke down witu e load of coal; it had to ba dumped In the street and mad. While he waft mending tbe wagon the coel was maud cd aud spattered, but digging it onl again ho went on alter bis quarter. AraouisiNa young man, that is, a young An who promises we(s)kly to quit drinking, was heard to say yesterday: “I am disgusted with rain, tired of mad and slush, lick of egg-nog, hate whls* ky, think Christmas a uulsauce, and am going went.” Shove out, youngjnaa, shove out 1 Some rascal, on Wednesday night after getting his carcase full of fire liquor somewhere, camo across Broad street Brldge,and along the front ef Granite Block, amused himself by ieelroylng alj the aigue he conlft. This sort of sport Is a relic of past ages, and the Up of a good stout No. 10 boot, well applied, would go far towards civilising such heathen. ^ An honest negro his como to tho aur- fkoeln MUledgovlUe. He carried a check for $119 the bank, and by same oversight tbe cashier paid in one hundred dollars too much. The nigger counted It over, and after discovering tbe mistake went back and had It rccUfied. If hla name gala Into the papers his chances (or a “Sit” In the Sa vannah Cu.tom-hooae are gone. Something wrong about that nigger Ditched.”—The outward bound train on the Stato Road, which left here Wednesday morning, when about two miles above Dig Shan'y, was “ditched.'' No particular damage was dome other than delaying the train a few hours. The bri dal party of Col. Cole waa on this train, but we learn from headquarters that this genUsmau would be able to make the connection, notwithstanding this untoward accident, and will arrive In Nashville in Ume to receive the congratulations of hla expectant and numerous friends. Wednesday night was noisy, bat the Oar Shed on yeeUrday afternoon seemed like pande monium let loose, or Hood blowing up kia ordnance, or—well things were fussy. E'gbt engines run ning through the depot at once, each one puffing, blowing, ringing, fte., end something leas than eleven thousand of the plain and colored element til talking at once. Good-byes were eeld twenty times over by negro visitor* end vleltees. The gro aUll look- to Christmas as the proper Ume to go to see the folks, end sets accordingly. Gould, Barton A Co., commission merchants on AinHam* street, are doing a splendid business. They are fully up with the limes, end keep everything that Is nice in their line. They are agents for the celebrated Bogere’ Mills, of Kingston, waich make the best brands of tour m tLo market. Their stock of spplea, country produce aud dreee^d poultry ta unexcelled in Allant . We kuow from experience that tbe finest butter to hi fouad^n the city ta at their store. They ere Uve men. and be- moss of this we are anxious to etc them suooced. Testimonial to James Miller, Ksq. > number of the employed and friends of Mr. James Miller, manager of the HoWa Mm Liu j Com* pauy, met at the office on Broad street Wednesday forenoon, aud presented their respected manager with a very baautifti) silver Tea Scrvioe. Professor Charles Fawn, ote of the party, was chosen to make the rnXBKMTATlOM ADDRK6S, which he did eloquenUy aud earnesUy, verbatim as follows: Ms. Hilly*: No duty ever imposed upon mo did 1 discharge with greater pieaHUre and gratifica tion than the present. Your Intercourse with our people since you came amouget us; your prompt business qualificeUons; your genUeu> uly and courteous demeanor, pare won the .. imiretiju and approval of ah with whom you have bad had Intercourse. In this estimate of your character and conduct your employee uuanlmouily coincide, and as a token of their appreciation uf you as a gentlemen, have choeen me to present to you, in their names, ten beautiful silver tea aervloe. Ac- * eyt It, Sir, ea e tribute to your worth, by sincere, warm-hearted friends; and may you and yours live 1879. me. mixiB’f uni, Mr. Miller, somewhat embarrassed by the sur prise, after a moment's consideration, with much tooling said: It would require the eloquence of an orator to ex press my feelings at this moment; but I am In this respect like President Grant—a good band to re ceive presents, but a very poor one to make speeches. I thoreiore briefly insult you from the bettom of my heart, and promise you that I shall evor remem ber yoa in my solicitations for every great aud good gift, aud wish you all a happy ChrUUuaa. After receiving the congratulations of those pres ent, Mr. MUler Invited them to hie residence, on Washington street, where, with e sumptuous din ner ottoeat turkey, oysters, and the usual etceteras, suited to the season and occasion, followed by some exoellent music by Mrs. Miller and her sister, Miu Geary, all spent e pleasant and Joyoua time, which will be remembered for many a day to come. Before dosing this notice, we desire to say that the articles comprising the present, eo worthily be stowed, are Indeed very fine, richly chased, end were purchased at the Jewelry establishment of Mr. Er Lawahe, a guaranty of their extol; once, and who moat liberally contributed to the amount. A Merry Domestic Incident. The employees In several Sewing Machine estab lishments in the dty.took It into their heads to do the handsome thing for their respective employers on Christmas Eve and day. We learn that Mr. 8mllle, of the Singer, waa weU served, this we have not been favored with an account of what the service as. The employees and a number of friends of Mr. WUes, met at tbe head quarters of the “Domestio” Sewing Maohlne ou Tuesday evening at 8 o’cleek, where he waa presented with a handsome gold watch and chain, file presentation speech was by Mr. Pitman, end went as follows: your many friends. In acting as ibelr spokesman, they have committed to m; care a marker of time, to be presented to yon as a lokeu of tlielr appreciation of jour many, many out never to return. May it be faithf ul in marking the happy hours that you are to pass in the future. In parting with you this evening we only ask that when you look npoa the fsoe of this marker of Urns, may it appear as a mirror to you. aud refleot our true fee Hu > s sod goed wishes. A marry Christmas and a happy aud prosperous new year. The above was replied to by Mr. WUes, who evinced a great deal of embarrassment, in the fol lowing style: Mr. Pittman, and GenUemen individually aud re spectively.—In returning my thanks to yon lor the very handsome token of your esteem, 1 desire to state thst beyond the intrlnslo value or tbe present I hold tlfe expressions ai shown by It beyond price. Among the many Jagged edges of an active business ll/e, occasions of this kind 1 regard asoasis that causes ths reclplont to forget all animosities and only hold good wUl to all men. My kuowJodgo of tbs Fnglisb language does not furnish mo strong enough terms to thank you In. Mr. Howard was then called npon. Gx.ytllmin: It la rather a doubtful compliment » say that a man aUl bear %oaickingi yet oar friend WUes Is omlnentiy worthy of this occasion. In tiinu ho and hie colleague, Mr. Bell, me/ both recolve soother sound testimonial of oar rogsrd, and in.ty bo assured their prosperity will be watched eagorJy by us all. Domeslics aro employed to eradicate “Weeds,” . »t lucre is au lrrepross.ble “Weed” that won’t be eradicated. “Howe” is tnst for high? Duiing this ’OMilvo occasion, may we have a 'Singer” with a song, and then we will ail Shackle Hume. We liko the name of titophens, from the honored heel of our corps editorial on through all of the name we have ever known. John Ste phens (Stephens and Flynn's Btepheu*/ 1* no excep tion.

Another One.— About 3 p. m., Christ mas day, a gentleman might have been seen, as b< Jumped from hie bed on the third floor In Otark’i building, Whitehall street, looking—as be thought— monstrous spry. But It wouldn’t do. Ho gathered up the mormug papers, end afior hurriedly looking over them, threw them down end took a hearty drink of water. (He vrae up tbe night before with e sick friend.) ^ Pebsonal.—Oar individual joy w«b considerably Increased on Christmas day by unex- pectanuy meeting on the street, our old friend «. R. Watson. This gentleman at present la the right bower ot thellncoQ Telegraph. Mr. Watson's fami ly a till resides hero, and be wee up for one dey, juat to have a good time with his numerous friends in Atlanta. He has gained over thirty pounds In flesh since hi* sojourn In Macon—all of which le respect fully Bubmitled. ^ Lively.—Sam Hoyle, Joe Godfry, Bob Cowart, John Rtnsome, Amos Fox, Deve Langs ton and various otbor Sunday School scholars gave Mayor James a serenade on Cbrlalmaa day. Abont four hundred thousand firecrackers and torpedoes were touched off In front of his bank, but they felled to procure e speech from him, or any other recog nition of their demonilratlona. They made oo much nous that the Mayor forgot to hand round the wine and cake. Christmas fun may be carried beyond the funny pert. So Nathan O’Harrta thinks. Rome party with reckle«s carelessness, or malignant meanness, fired three pistol balls into the side win dow on Broad street, of the shoe atom of Messrs. J. 0. Harris ft Co., on Christmas day, shattering the window pane, fortunately doing no further damage. ’Nath” saji that fellow had better keep <Aed ell right—well keeled, and surefooted, as hft wants to make him mark time awhile. Mr. Lazarus Tillman, a well-to-do farmer, roslding some six miles north of this city, waa out In hla new ground clearing, end In eagerneaa to show the hired hauda how to ei>Ut rails, ba took off hti overcoat end laid It upon e stump. When the littlo nlggsrs who were burning the brush and debris from the grounds came along, they act fire to the stump end surroundlogs, end when tbe old men returned for hie cost, be wee powerfully put out because It wee burnt. The serious pert of the whole Joke is, there wee hundred dollars in greenbacks in a side pocket, which went up in tbe amoke of the brush. Mr. Tillman has our sympathies in this business, be cause ve know him to be an upright and honest man. Moral: Leave your six hundred dollars the hones with the old woman. From the Montgomery Daily Adteriiter we clip the following, of one who wee long n cltlxen of Atlanta: Wlllllngham, of the LeGrange Reporter, having re- eenlly visited Montgomery, has tbls to any about one of the beet managed roods end most popular Superintendents In the country.

Monday night It ta generally understood by those who aro acquainted, that It will be a good thing. If the evening should be fair, it le not too far for our city people to drive out Ip our friend, Oouncilmau Morris, has had to walk the streets or side walks fronting hie ■tore on Peters street for e fow days past, we don’t see how he can think a policoman who has to guard that section of the city should baseless than $2 60 per day. It will cost a good rer cent of {that amount buy tho ahoes nroded to traverse that settlement. Competent Judges allege that At- lauta ta the only plaoe where etreot care-stop whers the mod is four or five feet ueep. In Jther places they are required by law to take np at a street cross ing, where paeaengere have some chance; but here, we let ’em lookout for themselves. We are not op posed to street care, but wo do like a little “fair ness,” Just because tbe ladies grumble so much. Eao-Nooo.—If anybody .is feeling this morning like one of oor roportors, this notlco will cense them to eickon in the “etomlck.” Why fore? There is such a thing aa overdoing matters, and when onehss swilled around for two or three Christ mas days, one g< U tired end worn out. But the egg-nogg which Uutbman ft Hern fixed up Chi 1st- mae morning waa of the very beet. Aboat forty voices will echo an assent to.tbta elate moot— pro vided they have any reoollectlon o! tho occasion. Narrow Escape.—A lady who liud lor five years been In the habit of putting a nice pistol which belongod to her husband under her pillow, came near having a serious accident yesterday morning. When, as usual, ahe waa making the bed. In changing the clothing, tho pistol was over looked, end w»e Jorked from tbe bed. In it fell it ■truck tho floor and one barrel was discharged, tho bullet gulug through a door and several suite ol clothing hanging the re. Dio Fire in Adairsvillk. —Froci Con- ductor 8*iilord Bail, of (Lo State Road, we .'earn that tho brick atoreheme ol John Gray, the most extru sive merchant of that place, was burnt yesterday morning before day. Mr. Bell only had Ume to learn that the fire was supposed to be the work of an incendiary, and that the loss wee between eight end ten thousand dollars, and the Insurance only about twenty-five hundred. When the train left the house was >tUl burning, but no other damago was apprehended. Bad Deaths.—Daring tho provalenoe of the high waters last week, the Ecbarlee creek, which runs 'broagh tho pleasant little town of Rock- mart, In Folk county, was unusually fall. On tho banks of this stream was living a family, (whose name our reporter did not learn,) of nice, clover people. Tbe rise in tbe stream was so smldcn that before proper ations were made, the turbulent waters were raging through tho yard end Into the house.— A little girl of the family, who was out attending to some household affairs, was carried off, and her cries sltractiog the attention of her brother, a lad >me sixteen years, who was In the house, he rushed out. SLd seeing his little sister In her peril, made an attempt to save her. He plunged in, but the current was too strong, and in his do#per*to ef forts to aavo hl» slater, they were both carr ed down the stream and drowned.^ Christmas Dinner at tbe Kimball House.—The editorial staff of Tux Sum wore com plimented with an invitation on Christmas Eve from mine host Nichols, of the Kimball Home, to take Christmas dinner with him. A portion of the corps (the unmarried aud the married past the honey moon stage; accepted tho invitation. At the table we met Col. Alston and Mr. A. fit. Clair Abrams, of theUereld, Mr. W. A. Hemphill and J. T. Lump- ft in, of the Constitution, and the hospitabio host him- •ftlf. The dinner was an elsgant repast, consisting of the most luscious substantia.* and delicious delica cies. sir.

Cubietmab Chabitieb. —We wore glad to note among tho ploaslng experiences of the day that not a few remembered tbe poor. During the afternoon of Christmas, when the sleet end rain were drietag at their greatest fury, e carriage wee seen making rapid tlmo through tho slush of White hall street. Though closely curtained, the glad some pools of eivi-ry laughter issuing from it, told that It wee filled with girls. The ceri lags rolled awsy to the suburbs, to tho bumblo cot of a poor widow and her children, rud there its contents, consisting not merely of girls, but also of well- loaded boskets, filled with provisions, clothing and Christmas toys, were deposited. And though storm wee without, there wee saushiae within the widow’s ooL God bless the noble glr.e, who. In the midst of happy homo scenes, not only remember tho poor, but leave happy bomee, braving the most inclement weather to carry Joy to the bumble dwellings of the poor. May the EUiee, tbe Mettles, Florences end Mariee, who thus nobly act, Uve long end live nobly. _ “ Old Prod.”—The new wrinkle which the telegraph folks have, for the last eighteen months, been exhibiting to the eye of the reader Is Ukcly to cause some oisojUsfaction. “Old Proba bilities” ta forovtr telling us about how cold It will be yesterday, and how the wind was oaths takes last week, etc. This is ail well enough. We know how that le as well as he doee, and we aro not going to quarrel with one who makes an effort el progress la science (although Ola Prob dll cut Tn* 8um off hta list once for daring to ep«sk out In meeting upon tble very point). But whst tLey are after now, ta what sort of weather will we have to morrow 7 Since sundown U has been oa owing end blowing aad free Hue. anl being very ngly beside*, end at 12 o’clock la»t night It made us draw a very loo*, “ooftbee,” au I think <f the numerous old raw boned bachelors in A.lanU who are withou'. e »af- to «-ut quantity of u!aokets aiul other bed coxfoit.

Spiritualism Illostbatid.—We ere not dRponed to Uu«h .lor mak. (an of to, rctl.l ous or honestly conceived political opinions of our neighbors; but wUl say this: The “superior” head of thta establishment—tho boss—the factotum—le a gentleman of good mind, and has an oye to every thing transpiring in hie world around him. Of course eplritualtem claimed a share of hta calmer mo meats, and naturally hta views and conjectures would weft atteranco la thfrhoine olrclo. Doing tbe legitimate auft natural htad of bis family, Uls vlewe of things In general wero imbibed, without a ques tion, by his household.
