Yesterday Mr. Britton sued out a peace warrant. This was placed in the hands of W. 8. McMicbacl, special bailiff to tho County Court. He says ho knew nothing of the bench warrant. Sheriff Ivey, “convinced a man confined ou a bench warrant could not l»o taken out by a psaco warraut, sent wurd, being unable lo see tbe bailiff at the time, to Jailor Johuson, not to deliver the prisoner. He was absent, however, and his wife gave the prisoner in charge of the bailiff. Tho officer did not dream Wilkersou would attempt to escape, as he was in his shirt rlooves, and the offence was not of a very serious character. Tho prisoner wauted to secure tho logal ser vices of Col. Thornton, and McMichael carried him to his ofiioo. Mr. Grimes (Thornton’s partner) thought the Colonel was in an adjacent office, upon the same iloor, iu the second story. McMichael allowed Wilkeraon to look, while ho conversed a few secouds with Mr. G. on business. When he sought his prisoner ho found he had va moosed—taken leg bail aud departed. Vig.laut search to durk failed to discover his whereabouts. Tue officer swears he •Rill catch him. Bailiff McMichael is, we believe, a good, industrious aud conscien tious officer. Such a mishap, we are con fident, will uot ocour again. River Sews—Fatality on Flint River- Two Negroes Drowned. Capt. George Moore, of the steamer Farley, telegraphed from Fort Gaines that Win.

It is pre sumed the affair occurred in the night. Tbe steward is reported to havo been a very good sorvnnt. We learn from tho sarno telegram that the Farley left Fort Gaines yesterday at 2 p. m , with sixty-five halos of cotton for Columbu9. She will bo at the wharf this morning. The boats cxpoct lo bring to Columbus this season, fifteen to twenty thousand bales of cotton. Contract to Duild Averitt Bridge. The Couuty Commissioners awarded it last week to Mr. Gus Wright for $950. He, however, upon further examination, declinod tho job aud so notified the au thorities. He could not complete tho work for the money. On yesterday tho Commissioners met and awarded tho contract to Captain W. A. Cobb for $1,350, his being the next lowost bid. Ho has accepted. Tho struc ture is to bo completed by tho 15th of October. There wero ten bids, ranging from $1,350 to $3,700. The bridge must bo n good one, of heart timber, and built in first-class style, or tho Commissioners will not pay for it.

The trustees of Mercer University, the Baptist State College, located at Macon, at a meeting iu Atlanta, on Thursday, de cided not to accept the unification of colleges plan proposed by the Governor and others. This is tho second time tho trustees havo rejected this offer. They have a largo endowment, perhaps the finest building in tho State, the institution is largely attended, and they see no good reason why they should merge with tho State University and become a part of it. Wc have our information from a trustee who ut tended the meeting. Tho Metho dists have also rejected the plan. Lively Place. The market-house, on Saturday after noon, seema to bo the liveliest place in Co lumbus. The supply of Sunday fresh provisions aro then bought, and a goodly number of people fill tho buildiogs. The darkies gather in crowds around the wa tertn'lon wagons below tho vegetable stalls, and the whole scene presents an air or bustling activity. It does one good to see somebody stirring about in a jolly business way. Information Sought. A man from the North has been here for tho last few days seeking information regarding a Mrs. Towles, who is reported as h tving lived and died iu Columbus. It is stated she came from New Jersey, and a deed has been executed for a $5,000 lot iu Newark. The deed is now said to be a forgery. It purports to havo been made in New Orleans, and it is alleged the lady lived many yeurs and was buried iu this place. The enquiry has been in vain thus far. —It is said that the tribe of Osago In dians has boon reduced to a bob-tailed pony, a cross-eyed squaw, and a Govern ment agent. This is pretty severe upon the tribe, but it is a very bandsom* for- tuue for th* agent. Kentucky Jeans. Fall Styles Prints. Bleached Homespuns. Brown “ Now White Piques.
