Everything Pertaining to the BUSINESS Furnished as Low as Can be Had ANYWHERE. W. FLEMING, Oct3l Athens, Ga. Winter Fashions. MIDWINTER STYLES IN DRESSES, WRAPS, HATS AN BONNETS. ET CASTER AS OF DRESS AND FASHION. Messrs. Ehrich & Cos., of New York, the publishers of Ehrichs* Fashion Quarterly, have kindly placed at our service the follow ing notes on the Winter Fashions of 1879-80, compiled from advance sheets of the forth coming Winter number of their magazine. We understand that the Winter number will be unusually rich in its descriptions of Holiday goods and presents. The low price of the magazine, only 50 cents a year, or 15 cents a single copy, places it within the reach of all; and there is no lady but will find it useful, however small may be her purchases, or limited her means. The styles for the coming season are rich, pleasing, and varied to a degree exceeding that of many past years. The revival of changeable or shot silks, satins and velvets, brocades and damasses, the introduction of gold and silver threads into many of the richest dress goods, and the revived form in which cut jet and variegated beads have been reproduced, render fashion this year a gorgeous and beautiful wonder. The mod istes and milliners have caught the artistic spirit, and have made admirable use of thesf new fabrics in the creation of rarely beautiful costumes, wraps, bonnets, hats, and acces sories of the toilet. SACQUES, CLOAKS, ETC. While long French sacques of beaver and chinchilla cloths and other cloaking materials, are used for ordinary wear, the richer Sicili enne and Antwerp silk and silk matelasse and heavy camel’s hair cloaking fabrics, both black and colored, are made up into long dolmans, visites, and long, loose-fitting sacque dolmaim, with elbow sleeves or dolman capes superimposed above the sacque, form ing ornamental sleeves and upper capes combined. Such garments are lined with quilted satin, and trimmed with the richest ostrich feather ruchings, heading thick double fringes, composed of pressed silk, chenille, and crimped tape; and sometimes a rich passementerie rat-tail fringe is added, falling over the under one of chenille and pressed silk. Tasseled and ball fringes are also used, and to give added effect, strands of jet beads are introduced in tho black fringes, and amber and variegated ones in the colored fringes that trim the cloaks of colored cloak ing material. FUR LINED GARMENTS. Squirrel—either the whole skins or locks— continues to be the popular lining fur. The bands with which fur-lined garments are trimmed all around this Winter are of beaver, fox, chinchilla, stone martin, or Alaska sable, and all the usual trimming furs, to which is now added Grecian chinchilla, anew, medium priced, and extremely dressy clipped fur, that bids fair to be very popular. MILLINERY. The millinery, this season, assumes more original and interesting forms than ever, while no words can convey an adequate idea of the exquisite colors and texture of the materials. The satins, velvets, and silks, the ribbons and all woven stuffs in millinery goods, come in changeable effects, or if solid in color, are woven with a glistening and sheeny surface that is indescribably beauti ful. The fancy feathers also are richer and more variegated than ever, and the ostrich tips and plumes are frequently shaded in a novel and most effective manner; colored tinsel, crystal, and variegated and fine cut jet beads and ornaments are used oxl libitum on everything, and gold and silver braids and lace, gold, silver, jet, steel and variegated jewel ornaments, all play their part in the work of bonnet and hat ornamentation. SIMPLE HEAD GEAR. But while these dressy and elaborate bonnets and hats are worn for ceremonious occasions, in full toilet, the simplest kind of headgear—felts, Derbys, and equestriennes— are worn by 3’oung ladies on all ordinary occasions, with little or no trimming on them while their mammas wear plain felt bonnets, trimmed only with plain satin ribbon, or bands of plain silk or satin, and but one modest wing, or perhaps two ostrich tips. LINGERIE. Among new neck lingerie are found chem isettes of point d'esprit, of puffed tulle, and of lace; enormous wired ruches of point d'esprit and crepe lisse alternating ; enormous cravats of white muslin, edged with Breton, point d'esprit and other laces, and fichus of all styles and dimensions, while for tall and stately figures large lace half handkerchiefs of Breton lace and point d'esprit , bordered with plaitings of the same, are used with marked effect. GARNITURES. The taste for Flower Garnitures on evening dresses still maintains its hold on popular fancy; and corsage bouquets of various tones, according to the complexion of the wearer, promise to be extremely fashionable. F.T CAITERAS OF DRESS AND FASHION. New gray gloves are blue tinted. New reticules are square aud fiat. Hand-painted laoo is a late novelty. Plain velvet cloaks will again be worn. Colored street wraps are again fashionable. Undressed kid gloves retain their popular ity. Large and small bonnets are equally fash ionable. Chemisettes and inside kerchiefs are again in vogue. Many walking costumes are made with a jacket bodice. Fichus of all sizes and in every imaginable shape are worn. Tiger and leopard velvets are handsome trimming novelties. Large rosettes of Breton and point esprit laces are worn. There is no absolute rule about any detail of the toilet this season. Flowers are as much used for garnitures of evening dresses as ever. Cream-colored silk net, polka dotted and washable, is sold for neck scarfs. Both very light colored and very dark costumes for street wear are in vogue. Striped velvets are not so popular for parts of costumes as those with set figures. Opera cloaks of white toile sanglier (hoar’s cloth), bid fair to be very fashionable. The corsage bouquet of the passing moment is one or several large red Turc satin roses. White felt and plush hats and bonnets continue to be favorite opera and theatre chapeaux. As many fabrics and accessories now enter into a bonnet as into the most elaborate dresses. Lambrequin paniers and tabliers must be very auple and carefully draped to look well. The tendency of the coiffure at the moment is towards classic simplicity and old Greek ideas. The large direetoire bow of Breton or point <Tesprit lace is the neatest Parisian fancy in neck wear. Medium and dark shades of kid gloves will be more worn for full dress than for many seasons past. Singapore silk is the new name for a soft, silk in rich cashmere colors and designs, used for millinery purposes. Spencers of colored velvet with lace elbow sleeves, will be worn with white skirts for evening dress by young ladies. Some foreign fashion journals say that dresses with but one skirt will certainly be worn this Winter in heavy materials. Turc satin is the now name for that soft changeable, twilled, yet lustrous fabric, known sometimes as satin de Lyons. Lambrequin drapery with paniers and tablier combined, is the favorite arrangement O for Parisian toilets of ceremony. Two and three bands of narrow ribbon are worn around the waves of banded hair that are worn with the Greek coil at present. Corsages opening low in front, in shawl or heart shape, or square ala Pompadour, are fashionable for women of all ages. White moutonne, a soft lamb's wool cloth, is used for dressy or evening or reception jackets for young girls, with Oriental trim mings. A noveity in evening dress fabrics is white toile sanglier. or boar’s cloth, a heavy* all wool material, dotted in raised fine points. Pale dauphin gray and mastic shades of chinchilla and beaver cloth, plain and ribbed, are again used for jackets, dolmans, visites and sacques. New kid gloves show deep garnet or ruby shades, seal brown, navy blue, bine gray, olive, invisible green, and all the mastic and old gold tones of color. The crowns of some plush bonnets seem to be composed entirely of jet beads, the em broidery actually covering completely the lace on which the design is wrought. A Verdict for the Liveryman. AWARDED $3,433 DAMAGES —THAT CURIOUS SUIT AGAINST A PRIEST. Springfield, Mass., Nov. 10.—Joseph Parker, the llolyoke liveryman, was awarded $3,433 against Father Andre B. Dufresne. in the Superior Court here to-day. Par L-t sued the priest, whose parishioner lie was, for SIO,OOO. for breaking up his business by ma liciously telling his (look that they mint not patronize him. and forcing them to obey his command by threats of excommunication, purgatory, and other dire evils, The case will be taken to the Supreme Court on ex ceptions. The jury, including two Catholics, were out only an hour. During their absence the defence is said to have tried to settle the case, to prevent the decision going on record. Judge John W. Bacon, of Natick, before whom the case was tried, ruled that, while a church may excommunicate a tnan, no eccle siastical power can. under Massachusetts laws, pursue him afterward, or wantonly and unreasonably interfere with bis business when it is not connected with the church from which he has been expelled. No eccle siastical authority can interdict a man from pursuing his ordinary business, or prevent even inem ! ers of the same denomination from which he has been expelled to deal with 'lira. If the defendant only forbade the plaintiff's customers employing him to bring them to church, and to take some part in the proceedings and offices of the church, then the plaintifT cannot recover damages. There must have been malicious threats, and injury must have been done to the plaintiff's busi ness to entitle him to recover. If any eccle siastical authority in this country undertakes to interfere with an excommunicated man’s business, it is an unlawful act. $ TERMS, $1.50 PER ANNUM, ( SI.OO For Six Months. G-eneral News.

That’s fair, anyhow.’’- —Syracuse Herald. A canoe recently left Luma Loma, in thq. Fiji Islands, with twenty five natives op board, bound for Toytoya. They wore going* about when a sudden squall sent the sail against the mast, capsizing the canoe. Th& unfortunate passengers clung to the canoe, and might have escaped with consequences, no worse than those which would hayg; attended discomfort and exposure, but fW the fact that the capsize occurred in a locality infested with sharks. These ravenous man*, sters seized their victims one by one, devour ing twenty-three out of the twenty-five un fortunates whose lives were thus placed at their mercy. Of the two who escaped, one;, is a woman ; but her situation is very crith cal, the whole of the flesh having been off one leg. The growth of London in all directions, continues marvellous. A number of ne% towns Tiave sprang up within the last three, or four years. Not long ago North BJnd, Fulham was a rural district of fields and, market gardens. The \ nderground Railway, opened anew lino to Hammersmith, with a, station at the north Gild, which changed its name to Kensington, and to-day the SUR rounding area is covered with streets of well built houses at high rents. Similarly, at thq. other end of London, increased facilities locomotion by railway and tram car have le<| to the erection of many hundred of smal): houses in South lJermomlsey or Itottcrhitho. The same process goes on steadily at Edmon ton, on the north, and at Sydonhaui, qn south of London. An interesting surgical case was recently reported by M. Larrey to the French Academy, of Medicine. A young carpenter received \ blow from an axe on his right foot. The b,ifi toe was almost completely detached ; it was held merely by a small thread of skin, anc\ hung on the side of the foot. Dr. Gavev, who was at once called in, detached the toe. completely, then, after having washed it and the wound on the foot, he adapted the t.w<A surfaces as well as possible one tp tlie other, and made them hold together by means of strips of lint soaked with collodion placed along the toe. When the collodion had set another strip was wound round. Further, an apparatus was used to keep all the parts of the foot in perfect immobility. Twelve days after, the. dressing gave no bad smeli, tiie patient was very well and desired to go out, and twenty-four (jays after accident the cicatrisation was perfect. A verdict highly characteristic of Russian justico was recently given in the District Court of Cherson in .Southern Russia.
