That which met everybody’s view yesterday and caused cheerfulness and general comment, was the large num ber of country and city people on Broad street trading. We suppose that every one was buying something for Christmas, as many frequented con fectioneries. In fact, we know that fully one hundred were getting “Christ inas” because we saw them sitting in their buggies with their heads bent down between the scat ami the dash board, and upon investigation we no ticed that they were shoving the jug underneath the seat. If wc had never hoard of Christmas we would have known that it was coining this year at any rate. Another sign of the Great Event (that’s a good word, so to speak, and one by which we knew it was bound to come,) was the little balloons in u bunch that were floating up and down the street. Nearly every countryman had one tied to the back end of his wagon. Especially did we notice one little red and a blue balloon amusing one fellow who was more peculiarly inflated than his buoyant toys. He was too “weary” to stand, so you may imagine him lying upon bis wagon, to which was tied bis “buoys,” very much interested in talk ing to the same. He was abusing the Earth, he said, because she had turned around so rapidly as to burl him from the aforesaid coil—that was the blue balloon. His head, you know was swimming. Eventually he discovered the red balloon bumping the blue and then sweet consolation poured into his “spiritual" soul. Ho then began to tell the red that, although she had thrown him oil', she would got h—11 knocked out of her bv Venus, the beautiful rod. Wc also noticed a blind man with a luiml-organ grinding familiar airs. Wo couldn’t discover the monkey,although a few present saw a whole managerie of monkeys and snakes. This was due perhaps to the warm drinks they had been taking during the day for their “bad colds.” Ob,the boys had lots of fun yesterday. The FeMIvnl. The managers of tlio festival have gone to work manfully and perfected their arrangements for a grand success. The gift enterprise will be worthy of the price of tickets. Some of tlio prizes are valuable. A lady’s gold watch, a diamond ring, a beautiful sot of gold jewelry, a China tea set of forty-four pieces, clocks, toilet sets, tine platod ware, etc., arc among them. Each will be drawn by a ticket costing only fifty cents. The place to got your money’s worth is at the festival next week. One gentleman lias presented the committee with a beautiful pair of chromos for the drawing. Others have promised to aid. Thoro t is scarcely a merchant but can give something from bis stock that will help towards tilling up the prize list, and we trust they will not be backward iu making themselves known. Hi*v. J. 41. A. Cook. The new pastor of St. Luko church is spoken of favorably by all who know him. He is now in Thomasvillc, where lie lias been stationed for the year past. All places where he lias boon earnestly desire his recall. We are told that lie graduated at ()glethorpe University, and was a private in the Second Georgia Battalion, is about thirty-eight years of age ami has a small family. He is possessed of one of those characters which all esteem ami admire, and which are such exem plars of the true nobility and Christi anity. He is a minister of marked ability and influence and a preueher of the highest class, and a man universally esteemed and honored. Columbus is ready to extend a most cordial welcome to him. C'redltnble. We were shown on yesterday several pairs of stockings,"knit by children in the Orphan Asylum, which work was, as far as wc can judge, done very well. Miss Patterson is matron of the asylum and teaches the children lmliits of in dustry. They make their own clothes, knit their stockings and do all work iu house and kitchen. Tlio specimen shown was the work of children from seven to nine years. The public are sometimes called upon for aid in this worthy cause and should respond liberally. The children arc not raised in idleness, but are taught to do all manner of house work, that they may be useful women. A l*rom|»l Olllelol. Tuesday, .Todgo Poll rendered bis decree in the case of U.

Now, an occasion al correction of an obstreperous w pi'use may be beneficial to the peace and good order of a household, but, we think a quarterly or semi-annual application w ill lie about as much as our good peo ple will stand, even from the most in jured Benedict.

Shifting F.nglne nt Western Depot Ex* l»l»«le*—No One Hurt—Bell Thrown m Hull* Mile, Last night about 9 o’clock all in this otllce were startled by a loud explosion, from what cause or whore was not known. The devils headed by our foreman rushed frantically out, looking in all directions and stepping very cau tiously. They rousted a sleeper up stairs, who declared that it was just be neath his room, They next visited the collar, thinking it might have been caused by spontaneous combustion, but nothing was found out of place and they returnod. A reporter ran around on Broad street and made inquiries, which resulted in hearing that it was the boiler of a locomotive at the Western Ruilroad yard. Ho repaired thither and ob tained the following information : The shifting engine, Richard Peter was moving down the track, with only ninety-live pounds of steam on, when the boiler suddenly burst near the center. Neither the lireman nor engin eer was injured, the former sprained an ankle from jumping off after tlio explo sion. 'Phe end of a freight ear loaded with cotton was torn off’ and the plank scattered for a good distance around, Tlio bell was found after a long search near Mr. Spear’s residence, a distance of about a half mile. 'Phe boiler must certainly have been a defective one or it would have never exploded with only ninety-five pounds of steam. TheWny IU “Mulled” (lie Market. lie is one of the best farmers in Chat tahoochee county. He name into the city yesterday with eight bales of cot ton and a turkey gobbler. He collected tlio cotton buyers together and told them that he would givo his “gobble to the man who would pay him the highest price for his cotton. He made them swear against collusion and be gan his auction. The cotton “went,’ and so did the turkey. The last cost the purchaser about twenty dollar? cording to the price lie paid for the cot ton. He bore his laurels as bravely as e’er did a victor at tlio games of Apollo. 'Phc question now is: What did you pay for you gobbler? 4‘ollou Figure*. According to the Financial Chronicle of New York, of last Saturday, the total receipts at the ports to that dato wore 1,870,687—a decrease of 851,14' bales from last year; interior tow stocks, 185,605 against 224,12(1. The visible supply was 2,005,294—a decrease of 701,183 from last year, 539,923 from 1875 and (135,054 from 1874. The Chron clc t tiguring on the cotton exeliang reports for December, says they indi cate a crop of 4,099,070 bales; but, cor rected by its own figures from the southwest, foreshadow 4,164,230 bales. R«**nlt of t'hnnee. Wo wore told yesterday that just after the revolution, three young ex-Confed orates located in New York to practice law. They barely made a living, Finally they agreed to draw straw see which should remain as a lawyer which bocomo a preacher, and which doctor. Tlio novel test was made, ami each carried out tlio agreement. The preacher has become a bishop. Runaway. Yesterday afternoon, on Oglethorpe street, the horse of one Mr. Rosier be came frightened near Yonng A Mo Eachren’s store while hitched to a lmg gv, in which was Mr. Rosier’s little son, and ran about one block. The horse was stopped in his career by striking a tree. This hurled the little boy from the buggy and considerably bruised him. The buggy was pom pletely smashed.

Montgomery Advertiser, 19/A.) The Joint Board of Finance made their rejKirt, showing that $4,200 was collected for the sunport of superanu- tt ted preachers, widows and orphans. The amount was distributed among the various claimants. The Conference then proceeded to complete the election of delegates, lay and clerical, to the General Con ference. After several ballots J. W. Rush was elected clerical delegate and M. 8. Andrews and H. H..Cox were elected reserves. W. E. Wailes, of ►Selma, and R. A. Hardaway, of Au burn, were chosen lay delegates, and J. H. Harris and E. Y. McMorris were chosen as lay reserves. The Statistical Secretary made his report, from which we gather the fol lowing : There are within the bounds of the Conference 197 local preachers, 29,403 white members, and 32 colored members; 1,100 infants and 1,297 adults have been baptised during the* ear. There are 357 Sunday-schools, ,148 officers and teachers, and 14,210 scholars. There has been an increase of 45 churches and a considerable in the value of church property.

Editor Enquirer-Sun: This morning, the 18th day of December, in the year of Our Lord 1877, we herald to the world glad tidings from here, as in the “Days of Yore Ould Lang Syne,” and greet you with cheerful spirits and grateful hearts that there aro evidences of life in the old land yet. It is an auspicious and gala days. The sounding of the mellow horn; the chivalric corpH of horsemen were here; the Gambettas, MacMahons, Von Moltkesand Bayards of wild adventure and bolting saddle habits, and advanced in esehelon to the front, and old Glennville, rehabilitated, arose like Phoenix up in her enthusi asm to 36:30 Farenheit from yi frozen barometer in the ice, and dusted, and the sun jumped up from the nader to the zenith upon the eastern horizon with a grand and imposing scenic splendor to shine away the darkness from Held, hill and valley, to awaken the octogenarian from the dreams of a thousand slumbers, and champion horsemen (our huntsmen,) from their bivouac, whose inspirations and asper- ations exceeded Napoleon’s at Leipsic, Marengo and Moscow. The old veterans, like Napoleon’s old guard, were all in the saddle, ready for the chase, followed by their aristocratic kernels, Tray, Blanch and Sweetheart, leaders, the choice in chase with their rich singing suprano and alto voices, echoing from the vales and hills of the Kowlkees. It was like carrying on a good-size quarterly meeting, and weuns felt, Agrippa like,almost thou persuadest us to be a huntsman. We were greatly refreshed with earlier memories of sportive days enjoyed in old Greene county, when the names known to fame, Lundy, Hall, Brown, Billingslea, Longstreet,Birdsong and Dawson, were the heroes and champions of the Held and chase, who were in their day and generation considered the most expert horsemen and successful hunters in old glorious Georgia. But, however, this hunt embraced President Hayes’ Southern policy, it was a unification of the Southern chivalry, Methodist, Catholic, Presby terian Baptist, hard and soft-shell, worldlian and all, affinities of har monious natures. Huntsmen, for instance, there were Capt, A. M., Col. A. M., Jr., Dr. G. C., Col. B^H. R., Major W. C. D., General Raiford L., Judge J. R, and T. C. D., Esq., and Lieutenant Colonel S. E. and Cadet Young T. McG., and many others, who enjoyed the otium cum dignitatc, all happy in this (revival) fox and cat hunt, and there was a marriage also here last week, and who will say that Glennville is not herself a reconstructed city.
