A Conscientious Thief. — Not
long since a large wash-pot was taken
from a gentleman's yard in this place.
About a week after it was missing he
was walking in his yard at night, when
he stumbled over some article. He or
dered a light when, very much to his
surprise, he found the identical wash-
pot that had been gone. Perhaps we
are wrong in saying the person who car
ried it off was a thief, as perhaps some
one wanted to borrow it, and was too
modest to make the request. We there

conscientious borrower.
DEtTPKEB HALL.
General Renovation'and Repairing
to Take Place. ' ,
Report lays this Hall ia to be put in
thbrough repair and handsomely finished
oft We hiVe never been in it, hut learn
that it is large and conkeiiiehl; Weli veh-
tilated, and; with proper repair and
handsome finish, would be an ornament
to the city and veiy remunerative to the
proprietors. It would be in almost con
stant demand for exhibitions, balls, eta.
It would draw theatrical companies to
Athens. The place ia sufficiently large
to support a fine troupe of performers,
and nothing tends more to the intellect
ual advantage of the young than fine,
high-toned, moral plays. In large cities
there may be objections urged to the
stage, from the fact that it is a place for
the low and vicious to assemble. Not so
here. Such people, in smaller towns,
have no desire to mingle with virtue and
refinement, and if all temptation to dissi
pate is kept away from the Hall, the
vicious will always stand alojf.
We hope, before long, to sec Dcuprce
Hall decorated with handsome scenery
and a fine stage. Wc believe it will pay,
and pay well Let the proprietors try it
They have the means, and wc think they
can’t make a better investment.
Our Ciiukch Work.—This paper
has been received at our office, nnd wc
arc very much pleased with the contents.
AVe take pleasure in recommending it to
all classes.
P. TV. Hutcheson.—With plcas-
nrc we announce this gentleman's name
as candidate for Clerk of the Superior
Court of Clark county. Judge Hutch
eson is too well known here as a business
man to require nny comment from us.

Grier’s Almanac, for 1873.'—
Mr. T. A. Burke, proprietor of the mam
moth Book Store ou Broad street, has
handed us one of Grier’s Almanacs for
1873, acknowledged to lx* the best and
most useful calendar ever published.
Mr. llnrke has them for sale,'in nny quan
tity, at Macon prices.
To Our Subscribers.—Owing to
the large number of new advertisements
in this issue, wc had to put both our lit
erary and news matter on the first nnd
lourth page* of our paper. We do not
intend to curtail our large amount of
reading matter under nny circumstances,
hut. il necessary, will issue supplements
each week.
Our Market Report.—Wc have
made arrangements to have the market
report corrected, alternately, by Messrs.
J. II. Huggins & Co. and Messrs. Eng
land & Orr. Both firms are strictly reli
able, and gentlemen who are thoroughly
conversant with the state of the market.
Our readers may rely on the quotations
made by them. Both of these firms arc
doing a heavy business* “
Cigars and Tobacco.—We are
indebted to Mr. James P. Dorsey, of Col
lege Avenue, for some excellent chewing
tobacco and good cigars. We found Mr.
I)or>ny a very pleasant and agreeable
gentleman, lie is a wounded soldier,
and wc hope he will get a good share of
custom at bis store, which seems well
supplied with merchandis.*.
The New Ware-House.—This es
tablishment is completed. It is a neat
and substantial house, the workmanship
o! which is said, by competent judges,
to he of the best order. Messrs. Bcussc
and James were the contractors, just the
kind of men of men tl.at ought to take
contracts, for their work is fathfully exe
cuted.
Personal.—We were much grati
fied, and somewhat surprised, at meeting
the other day, in Mr. Dorsey's store, the
Rev. Mr. Burkhcad, former pastor of the
Presbyterian Church at this place. He
was one of our South Carolina acquain
tances, where he was very much admired
as a minister and highly respected as a
man. He had charge of a Church at
Lowndesvillc, S. C., the congregation of
which were composed of the most res
pectable and intelligent citizens. We
sincerely hope that wherever he may be
he may meet with the kindness he so
richly deserves.

Meeting in the Court House.
On Turaddy night'Jast there was quite
a large meeting of what the Savannah
Seirt calls “gentlemen in black,” assem
bled at the Court House. It seems the
object was to advocate the election of
Grant. The meeting was addressed by
our cx-mcmber of the Legislature nnd a
Yankee negro p cacher. They lauded
grant to Abe, skies, and pledged them
selves t^hltiivc the State if Greeley is
elected. They appe.-u to think Greeley’s
election can only effect Georgia. They
don't know that they will have to leave
the United States to get from under his
jurisdiction. Poor, ignorant souls, little
do they know that their troubles all
sprung from Grant and his allies.
Fine Gioar and Tobacco Es
tablishment.—Messrs. Kalvnrinsky &
Lciblcr announce in this issue of our
paper that they have on hand a splendid
stock of goods in their line. We paid
these gentlemen a visit a few evenings
since, nnd were surprised to see such a
fine and handsome stock as they keep
on hand. They have an unsurpassed
supply of cigars, tobacco, fine raccrclmum
pipes, cigar-liolders, walking canes, and
everything else which is kept in similar
establishments, which they sell at re
markably low prices. When you give
them a call, don't forget to ask for their
celebrated “La Terre Haute” cigar, nnd
it you don't pronounce it tip-top you
c in hold us personally responsible. These
cntlemen arc from the West, nnd has
that liberality and enterprise about them
that is peculiar to that section.
Young Men’s Democratic Club.
We would respectfully ask this Club it it
is not time they had called a meeting for
the purpose ot nominating candidates
for the different offices. If they arc not
on the alert the Radicals, who arc ever
watchful, will have candidates in the
field. "Wc have many worthy men who
arc candidates, and it is time they knew
what is to be tbeir fate. It they are not
the nominees of the party—and all can
not be—let them know'it in time, so as
the chosen ones can go to work and the
rejected stay at their homes. It is said
“eternal vigilannco is tlie price of liber
ty.” Let our people bear this in mind—
not grow weary in well doing. Don’t
suppose, because wc carried everything
before us at tlis late election, that we can
sleep on our laurels. Wc must be up
and doing. It wc are not, all the ground
we have gained will have to l>e again
gone over. Put the energetic young
men forward. Such men as Mr. F. B.

A Present.—Yesterday our friend

knives, not men, for it is hard to find as
an agreeable, pleasant and good-looking

I never grow less.
Now is Your Time to Get a

there was but one case tried ; The city

was up before His Honor for disorderly
conduct on the day after the election.
The testimony against him was not suffi

discharged. Another case was entered
against him for a similar offense on the

The .Savannah Morning News.
Among ourextended list of exchanges,
there is none that wc welcome more cor
dially than this enterprising daily. It
always seems to ns like ail old Iriend, as
we were employed in the establishment
for about three years, which period was
among the most pleasant oi our connec
tion with the business.
When the proprietor of this paper, Mr.
J. II. Estill, first made the purchase of
the office, the News was rather on the
downward tendency, or at least, not in d
very flourishing condition. But no soon
cr had the indomitable Estill become
possessed of the office, than the paper
soon began to show what energy, enter
prise, perseverence and a thorough
knowledge of the business would do.
It has continued to improve, until now
it is not only one of the leading dailies of
Georgia, but one of the most influential
nnd popular papers in the United States*
The proprietor never stops to count
tost when the enterprise of liis journal
demands an expenditure. As an illustra
tion, we have known him, time and
again, to pay upwards of three hundred
dollars per week for special telegrams
alone. This was but a single item. But
wlmt is now the result of his great enter
prise 1 He has shown conclusively that
the Southern, as well as the Northern,
people will most liberally support news
paper enterprise.
Mr. Estill is a practical printer liimsclt
and gives his personal supervision to the
entire establishment. There is no depait-
ment in the office that does not receive
the attention cf the proprietor, and this
accounts, in a great manner, for the reg
ularity and precision in which everything
is conducted.
The editorial department of tlie News
is under the control of Colonel W. T.
Thompson, who lias been connected with
the paper since its infancy. What the
Colonel don't know abont newspapers is
not worth knowing. He is too well
known to the country for us to expatiate
upon his character, but we will say. that
•here is not a more wholc-sonlcd, honor
able, high-minded gentleman in the uni
verse than Colonel Thompson, and there
is not a man employed in the establish
ment who is not his personal friend.
Hr. Harris is associate editor, and, al
though a young man, has already won
glowing laurels as a writer.
We see that this paper has again been
enlarged and otherways improved, and
take great pleasure in recommending it
to onr patrons as a first-class daily in
every respect.
Dickson’s Com round.—Messrs.
England & Orr are advertising this
celebrated fertilizer, which is universal- TH1
ly admitted to lie superior to any other
sold. These gentlemen warrant it
pure, and when they say an article is
pure we believe it. They have been
too long in business, and arc too well
known as honest, upright dealers to at
tempt a deception. Any jierson will
be safe in purchasing from them.
Read their advertisement, and see how
well the farmer can do by calling on
them.
Griffeth & Crane.—We noticed
a fine lot of cedar-ware in the store of
these gentlemen. There was large and
small wash tubs, and quite a numbea
of beautiful water buckets, of sizes to
suit any ordinary family. They are
very lasting, and if proper care is tak
en of them, they will remain sound for
a number of years.
They have a good many other ar
ticles besides cedar, suitable for the
house keeper, the farmer, or the gen
tleman of leisure, if there be any such
among us.

ever took up our abode in Athens, the
Garden City of the South. Since our
sojourn here, we have ever heard this
lady and her refined and intelligent
daughter, Miss C. Sosnowski, spoken
of in the most exalted terms by all our
citizens, and with the greatest love
and endearment by their pupils. We
congratulate our city upon having
such superior and accomplished edu.
cators as these ladies within its limits.
The following is the previous histo
ry of this lady:
Madame Sophie Sosnowski was
born April 23, 1810, at Carlsruhe, in
the Grand Duchy of Baden, where
her lather, Dr. Wentz, held the distin
guished position of physitian to the
reigning Duke. Her education was a
superior one, and she enjoyed all the
advantages to be obtained at that time
in Germany. Losing her parents iu
early youth, her studies were continu
ed under the supervision of her brother
an officer in the ministry of war.
When the Polish revolution of 1831
had been overthrown, and those offi
cers of the insurrectionary army who
had been taken prisoners had refused
to accept the amnesty proffered by the
Emperor Nicholas of Russia, six thou
sand of them were exiled, and in var
ious columus marched through Ger
many on their their way to France,
where King Louis Piiillippe had offer
ed them an asylum. One of these of
ficers, Captain Joseph Sosnowski, a
scion of one of the most noted Polish
families, won the heart and hand of
Miss Wentz, aud they were married at

R. T. Brumby & Co.—If you are
walking through College Avenue, call
in at Doctor Brumby’s, look around
his drug store, and if you can come
out without making some purchase,
you are more than mortal. If yon
have a wife, buy her a nice cake of
soap. We dont pretend to insinuate
she requires, it but we never saw a lady
yet that was not fond of soap. We
never could imagine what they want
with it, but still they like it. If you
have a sweet heart, get her a hand
some bottle of perfume, you’ll find it
there. If you have a little boy, the
Doctor has beautiful india rubber
balls, that will make the little fellow’s
heart jump with joy when you hand it
to him.

f Mary’s Lamb. — Some unknown
correspondent, being determined that
the above-named production shall not
rink into oblivion, launches forth in
the following style:
The Tribune had a little pet lamb,
It indulged in reading papers freely,
But when it ran for the Presidents seat,
They (prudently) named it Horace
Greeley.
Missouri had aHttie pet Iamb,
It was always crying freely,
They soon discovered the cause of that,
He wanted to go with Greeley.
Athens’ Fire Company, No. 1,
This efficient organizhtion held their
regular annual meeting last evening,
We were kindly invited to attend, but
owing to a previous pressing engage
ment, were denied that pleasure.
After the transaction of the usual
business, the Company proceeded to
the election of officers to serve tlie en
suing year, which resulted as follows :
Captain—E. P. Bishop.
First Foreman—E. J. Christy.
Second Foreman—R. B. Hodgson.
Third Foreman—Jos. Emeiick..
Asst. 3d Foreman—G. P. Tilley.
Secretary—J. R. Christy.
Treasurer—W. A. Talniadge.
Pipeman—J. B. Gardner.
Asst. Pipeman—W. D. Christy.
Cobb, Erwin & Cobb.—The law
card of this worthy aud talented firm
appears to-day in our paper. They
ore all gentlemen of high social, as
well os legal position, and have won a
name at the bar which ranks them
among the first practitioners of the
country. If a man should be so un
fortunate as to become involved in law,
he cannot do better than to call on
this firm to get him out of his difficul
ties, and send him on his way rejoic
ing. We have the pleasure of being
slightly acquainted with all the mem
bers of this firm, and, if the counte
nance is the index to the man, we pro
nounce them true born gentlemen in
every sense of the word.
The Messrs. Cobb are the sons, and
Mr. Erwin sou-in-law, of the late
Hon. Howell ConB. one of Georgia’s
brightest ornaments, who was honored
and revered by her people for his tal
ent and worth. Georgia wants just

mantle fall upon his sons.

fail to notice the attractive, advertis)^
ment of Mr. T. A. Burke, Bookseller
and Stationer to the University of
Georgia. A man had just as well be
out of the world as out of the reach of
Book Stores, particularly such a one
as Mr. Burke’s, where any article in
the book or stationery line can always
be found. \Ve have frequently cast
our eye over his shelves, and were
highly pleased with the variety they
contain. We saw there a treasure in
the way of a musical photograph al-
bnm. Nothing can be more pleasant,
while looking at the pictures of
friends, some absent and others gone
before, thaii to bear beautiful music.
Perhaps some tune is played that-they
loved when they were with us. It
brings them nearer, and we almost
imagine they are by when we listen to
favorite air that we had sung to
gether.
We have not space enough iu this
issue to speak of this fine establish
ment as it deserves, but will keep our
readers fully posted as to the new fea
tures Mr. Burke is constantly adding
to liis unrivalled establishment. But
wc now say to our friends, go to
Burke’s and see for yourselves, and if
he is absent you will find his clerk,
Mr. Hodgson, polite, attentive and
agreeable.
List of Freight Remaining in the Athens
Depot.
We return our thanks to Mr. Grant,
the Railroad agent at the Athens
depot, for a list of persons to whom goods
arecorsig.iedfo a‘ tl.isdepo*. Wehoje
our patrons will find it useful to them
Mr. Grant is t^ry kind in furnishing
it, as he derives no benefit from it, and
it occupies a portion of his valuable
time. We always find him at liis post
and hard at work when we visit
the depot. We find him, too, very
kind and accommodating, the right
kind of a man for a Railroad agent.
We hope lie may long continue in the
same places. He is the father of the
gentlemanly conductor on tlie Athens
branch of the Georgia Railroad. It i
pleasant to travel on a road with such
a conductor. He appears to exert
himself to make the passengers pass as
pleasant a time aS possible. An old
proverb says, “ as the old cock crows,
sorrows the young.” In this instance
it is verified, as father and son are both
gentleman:
The following is the full list, and
our farmer friends can see at a glance
if they have any thing in the Athens
depot for them. We will give the list
every week.

] iossessed being ample, a happy future
seemed to dawn upon their union.
But the King of France, intisridatied
by the threats of Russia, violated his
plighted word to the exiled officers and
ordered them to leave the country.
Many went to England, but most of
them to the United States. Among
the latter was Sosnowski. Settling in
Erie, Pennsylvania, lie engaged in
speculations and investments in real
estate, and during the financial crisis
which swept the country in 1837 lost
everything, mostly the fortune of his
wife. His sensitive nature was not
able to bear the weight of this misfor
tune. Soon after he died and left bis
wife utterly destitute but this high
toned lady, who had never before
known poverty, bravely determined to
earn an honorable support by her own
exertions.
Her first association Yds with Mrs.
Emma Willard,, at Troy, New York,
who, it will be remembered, establish
ed the first female seminary, at that
place, in the United States. The
kindness and sympathy which she
there received at the hands of that es
timable lady are still held in warmest
remembrance by Madame Sosnowski.
Removing thence shortly on account of
an incipient affection of the chest, in
duced by the severe northern winters,
she went to South Carolina, where,
and in Georgia, she has ever since re
sided. Her first asoociat'.on at the
South was with Dr. Elias Marks, at
the Barhamville South Carolina Fe
male College, where for more than
thirty years, under that distinguished
principal, the daughters of the first
Southern families were educated. In
duced by the late Bishop Stephen
Elliott of Georgia to come to Montpe
lier Female Institute, which he had
founded, and himself, with utmost devo
tion, presided over, Madame Soseow-
ski was there for years, and there too
her daughters graduated at the head
of their classes. Up to the day of lib
death Bishop Elliott continud ethe
warm friend and spiritual adviser of
Madame Sosnowski and of her family.
In or about 1850, she removed to Co
lumbia, South Carolina, where she
founded her own Institution with great
success. At the beginning of the Con
federate war she was one of the first
setting the example to tend at the
hospitab of Virginia our sick and
wounded boys. Many a one was
cheered in his last moments by the
ministrations and prayers of thb truly
good and piou9 woman. These atten
tions continued throughout all the war.
“Madame Sosnowski and her schol
ars” might have been seen in attend
ance, throughout the war, whenever
sick and wounded reached the city of
Colombia, at the depot, relieving and
assuaging wherever it was possible.
At thb time she took sole charge of
Barhamville Female Institute, Dr.
