Miss Goins had gone to Opoiika on an “oxoursion tioket to Opelika and return," and remained over until the following day to return to this plaoe, be lieving that she could so do, as it was the agreement of tho agent at this point with the charterers of the train. The conduc tor who came to this place during the day on whioh she was to return was not aware that snob an agreement had been made by tho company’s agent, as it acorns, and telegraphed to the superintendent to know if ho should allow the return ticket to be used out of date and received the answer, "No." Hhe, of course, bad to be denied the privilege of coming home on the tieket, and was consequently greatly mor- tifiod, and for the same got a judgment yesterday os mentioned above.

Tho children of Israol oommenaed the celebration of the festival of Pentecost Thursday evening and continued it yes terday. It is a day of great rejoicing,and stands out in bold rellof in their religious calen dar as a time for joy and thanksgiving, It is oommemorated not in a sectai ian sonso, not for the origin of a race or tho overthrow of their enemies, but beoanse through tho meroy and goodness of God their ancestors wore not only rodeemed froui Egyptian bondage, but were distin guiahod from all other nations by having boon mndo acquainted with the Divine Law and appointed its custodian. Their bodies bad been freed from the lash of their oruol task-masters, but their spirits wore not yet dis enthralled; their flesh was free but the soul was fettered with the most abjeot slavory. Fifty days from their Exodous the Decalogue was pro- mitigated, and the tiro of its glory blazed from Sinai in tho prosenoe of two millions of people, and the entire civilized world this day acknowledge its grand moral lea, sons. In honor of the great event tho syuagoguo is adorned with the choicest floral tributes, and the nimble fingers of the daughters of Israol have been engaged in tho past twenty-four hours in arranging wreaths and chaplets for its ornumenta tiou. Tho reading of the Rook of ltuth is part of the ritual service of the day, in order to impress tho minds of the congre gation with obedieuoe to God’s com mandments, whioh in so peculiar and em inent a dogroe indioate prooepts of chari ty, kindness and brothorly lovo to all their follow-oroaturea. Billon by a Spider. Dr. J. L. Ghoney is in quite a oritioal condition on aooount of having boon bit ten several days ago on the thumb by a spider. The poison has diffused itself throughout his system aud he is now suf faring with inflammatory rheumatism and is paralyzed in bis legs. OPELIKA ITEMS. We were shown a letter from Mr. J. A. Pace, of Dallas, Texas, formerly a mer chant of this city, and who moved to Texas February last. He is not at all pleased with bis new home, advises all Ills friends who contemplate moving West to dispel such ideas at onoe and remain where they are, and odds, if be had gone out to look at the country before moving, be would never have done so. It is his intention, however, to try it one year, and if he is not a great deal better pleased than be now is, will return to Opelika. Our efficient postmaster, P. Watt La nio, Esq , is now absent, probably in the interest of his offioe, as it is not likely that a Demoorat will be appointed here, we hope he may be retained in his present position. He is aooommodating to the people, courteous alike to all, and un doubtedly the choioe of this community- The principal thoroughfare of the oity is being greatly improved in spots by ar tificial stone pavements, now in oourse of construction, under the supervision of Capt. W. G. McKenzie, who has State right for the manufacture of this hand some stone. PedestrisnB and parties interested in the beautifying of the place express muoh regret that the entire busi ness portion of the town is not to be sim ilarly paved. There will be a grand excursion to-day (Saturday) on the Savannah and Memphis Railroad. People all along the line from Alexander Oity will have an opportunity to visit Opelika. The cars on such occa sions, which happens two or three times a year as a general thing,are densly paoked, their objeot being principally to trade. AN EX-CONFEDERATE SOLDIER AND FAMILY IN DIRE DISTRESS. FINANCIAL & COMMERCIAL HARRIS COUNTY DOTS. Mr. T. H. Kimbrough's smoke house was robbed one night last week of four middlings, two hamB and a shoulder of meat. No clue. Lives near Oataula. One of the belles of Oolnmbns iB on a visit to Hamilton. Dr. Mitchell sent us a large Irish potato that resembled “Boss” Tweed ; and, like the “Boss,” we soon got it in a stew. The eleotion of Col. Mobley assures the carrying of the Convention in Harris be cause he is one of the strongest advo. cates. Copied and condensed from the Jour■ nal whioh every man in Harris oounty should take for it is bright and newsy. A lady sent us a note yesterday request ing an appeal for help in behalf of a suf fering, wounded Confederate soldier and family, who are in sore need of the gen erosity of our people—muoh more so than the enlightened nations of China and Japan need missionaries. Charity of the true character begins at home. 8ending abroad belongs to opulenoe. We simp ly append a portion of the note, as repre senting the oase more properly than we can, but by request suppress her name. We gill give it to any one who desires to furnish aid to the afflieted family: I take the liberty of asking you in the name, and for the sake of humanity to publish either this communication or an artiole of your own, in regard to the sub ject. There is in onr oity, • case of suf fering that exceeds any that I have ever seen. The sufferer is a Confederate sol dier who contracted terrible rheumatism in the late war. He is entirely disabled, and one of the greatest sufferers you ean imagine, chained by his disease to a ohair, and unable to walk one step, he is a pic ture of patient fortitude, and would move to pity any heart not of atone. He has a wife and two little ones, one a baby four days old. The wife is utterly unable to wait on herself, or her ohildren and hus band. The husband is unable to do aught for his helpless ones. A great deal of kindness has been shown this family, but they still need many oomforts. Any who are charitable, and will aid this fam ily will bestow true charity, by sending them at once cooked food, as there is no one to cook for them—not. a soul on the lot but tbomselvos, and all they have to sustain them, is what may be oarried in by those who know of their wants. They need too, badly, clothing, beding, and the man needs sadly a ohair with rollers so that he can move himself over the room. His name is Joe Hmith, and he lives on the squa<e below the synagogue, just back of Mr. Bradford’s. I will will ingly take anything to them which may be sent, not being able myself to give them anything, but my personal servioes. I felt impelled to ask aid for them from the charitable, and kind hearted of our city, believing that suoh an appeal has never been made in vaio, in this plaoe. Columbus, May 18th. RUSSELL COUNTY MENTIONS. The Executive Gommittoe of the Demo oratio and Conservative party will resign at the June convention. The Governor has appointed Mr. J. Q Evans, of Villuls, a commissioner of ltus' sell oounty, vioe Mr. Thomas B. Howard deoeased. Major T. B. Jennings died on the 13tb at the residenoo of his son in Beale. He wa. a Kentuokian, and refugeed to ltus. Bell during the war. Disease, oonsnmp. tion. He was of the Oampbellito faith. The Masonio fraterity buried him. KNIGHTS OF HONOR. Mr. J. R. Christian, Deputy Graud Dictator for tho State, is progressing fine ly in tho organizing of a lodge in this plaoe and he thinks that with to-days’ work he will have succeeded in his pur pose. This is oertainly a praiseworthy and noble causo and the institution iB sure to meet with merited Ruooess wherever a minister may bo laboring in the oanae. This is a charitable organization and it will profit anyone to join it. Mr. Chris tian thoroughly understands his business and will give anyone full and satisfactory information who may osll upon him. This is not only a moral organization but one that answers in tba place of life insurance companies, though it does not oorne in conflict with them or any secret order. RIVER NEWS. The steamer Big Foot from Bainbridgo arrived yesterday with 9 bales of ootton, consigned as follows : Alabama, 1; Plan ters, 8; Fontaine, 5. The remaining freight was very light.

Mott went to Washington with his application to ho appoiutod Collector of this DUtriot, Mr. llaycs asked him if he could call that evoning at 8 o'olook. The Colouol oould and went. Tho Colonel says Mr. Hayes wanted to “talk Georgia” with him, and did so for an hour and a half. Among other things, Col. M. in tho course of oouvorsation, told him if ho appointed Col. Alston Marshal of Georgia, the action would not meet tho approval of a single Republican, nor be approved by a large mass of Democrats as was ovinoed by tho difference between Gordon and Hill ou tbo subject. Iu behalf of Georgia Republicans bo protested against Col. A. gelling the place. Tho Colonel told the Do Faoto if ho did not nppoint him Col lector of tho second Georgia district he would not go hack on him, but would if Col. Alston was given the plaoe. After all, this talk may have injured Col. Alston, it has not givon Col. Mott tho plaoe bo wanted. NEGRO DROPS DEAD. CORONEU S INQUEST.
