The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Sir. Lucas,-in his very|impressive‘ benign and eloquent manner. The building was filled to overflowing, and all parties looked remarkably well.

We arc glad to hear that this oil is meeting with such success, as every one who has ever used it pronounces it just what it is represented. To Our Farmers.—Don't leave Athens without first calling on Messrs. ( hilds, Nicherson & Co. and examin ing their Chicago Farm Pomp. It is just what 3’ou have so long needed. If you don’t want that you will besure to find something else to save labor. Dickson’s Compound.—We are glad to see our farmers arc investing ♦*> heavily in this unsurpassed Fertil- 1 rcr.

A Shame.—Last Tuesday we no ticed two men, with a small package each, leave one of our stores, followed by a delicate lady, who, upon enquiry, we learned was their mother, shoulder ing a large sack of flour. The bur then appeared to weary her very much, but neither of her grown sons relieved 1 her of it. Ku-Kl ux! W. A. Weatherly, Esq.—We l glad to geo this enterprising gentleman, I of the firm of J. H. Huggins & Co., again at his post Mr. W. has been, Ifwv some weeks, canvassing Northeast I Georgia in the interest of his house, aim we are happy to learn met with ■great success.

P. Dorsey.—Our friend J. P. Dorsey, came within eight votes of get ting the nomination for Tax Receiver for Clark county. Mr. Dorsey stated to his friends that he did not think he would lie a candidate, as the condition of his family was such that it would be very inconvenient for him to attend to the office if elected. We learn that he got a full vote of the city. The Club have selected a very competent and clever gentleman, a man who fought nobly for his country, a dis abled soldier, who deserves the votes and sympathy * of the county. Wc wish him success. Another Death.—We learn that Mrs. Dale died on Saturday last. She was sick with pneumonia, and we understand that her death was very unexpected. Mrs. Dale had been married about a year, and she left a child. We had no acquaintance with her, but she is spoken of in the high est terms by her acquaintances. It is a heavy calamity to Mr. Dale, who is said to be a very industrious, clever gentleman. We learn from their ac quaintances that they lived very hap pily and comfortable, each doing their duty faithfully. Mr. Dale has our sympathy in his troubles. May he who “ tempers the wind to the shorn lamb,” watch over and protect the motherless infant. Rose Glycerine Lotions.—It is said by young ladies that the most effectual cure for chaped lips is the “ essence of two lips.” As a general thing, young men agree with them, but il they will only give the Rose Glyce rine Lotion a fair trial, they will acknowledge that it is far superior to anything of the kind, particularly in preparing the lips fbr the two-fip rem edy. It is also a superior remedy for chaped hands. It is prepared by R. T. Brumby & Co. These gentlemen are regular Druggists and Pharmacist®. What they recommend can be relied on, and found at their store on College Avenue, Athens, Georgia. Ladies will find it greatly to their advantage to purchase some of it if their hands or lips are apt to chap. Mr. Sidney Barr.—We had the pleasure, on Wednesday last, of a visit from this gentleman, of Habersham county. Mr. J&^rd is one of the old est subscribers to the Southed Banner, (now Northeast Georgian,) haring taken it for forty-two years. Although now in his seventy-third year, no one would ever take him to be more than fifty-five or sixty, so hale and vigorous is his appearance. Mr. B. says he has never taken a dose of medicine in his life, and can now do as good a day’s work as the next roan. We hope he may continue to be thus blessed, and live to take the Georgian a hundred years longer. He is visiting Athens for the purpose of witnessing the nup tials of his grand-daughter, Miss Eng land, which took place last night. Marriage in Augusta.—Mr. Cal houn, engineer on the Georgia Road, and Miss Frances Seott, of Augusta, were married in that city Tuesday eve ning last, and immediately embarked on the train and arrived in Athens the next morning. We are a personal friend to both parties, and can say, with truth, that one might search the Universe and not find a more agreea ble, clever pair. We think, too, that the}’ are well matched, for we know Mr. C. will make a kind and tender husband, and Miss “Frank” a most noble wife. May peace and happiness always dwell with them. We tender our thanks to Mrs. Cal houn for a very nice cake. brought to this ot ,vr\ Officers.—The Democratic ponty Convention, which met at the Mart House in this place on Friday ►st, mado the following nominations F or county officers: Ordina^-Hon.

Fatal Accident.—Friday night last, a lad about twelve or fourteen years of age, the son of a widow, lady, (Mrs. Craig) of Banks county, acci dently shot himself. He died imam diately from the wound. We have not learned particulars. Fatal Accident.—On Friday last, several little children were play ing on some cotton seed at the house of Mr. Bonds, about eight miles from Athens. During the play, a little child of Mr. Bonds’ fell, when another child fell upon her, which caused the death of the former. We did not hear the full particulars of the sad accident. We tender to the bereaved parents our deepest sympathy. More Tobacco.—A few days since, as we were passing the store of E. S. England & Co. our young friend, Mr. Mackie, who is staying with them, presented us with a plug of fine chewing tobacco. It is really fine. No coperas or molasses about it, but the pure tobacco. We take pleasure inrecommendingit. This firm appears to lie doing a good business, and we like them very much. The other day one of them handed us a very nice comb, for which we return our thanks. It is strange such good men put their right under a bushel. They had bet ter put it in the Northeast Geor gian, where it can be seen from Maine to Texas. But we think they intend advertising. Judging from our friend England’s countenance, his conscience is smiting him for not having done so. We believe Dick is a conscientous, honest, man, and he can’t stand it much longer. It is hard to kick against the pricks. Come in early, gentlemen, before the paper is too full. We Can’t See It.—One Lewis Wain Smith by name, and by title thereunto appended “ Alternate United States Commissioner for Geor gia,” writes us to do a job of free ad vertising. He sends us a copy of “ an address by the United States Centen nial Commission to the people of the United States” and suggests that we dead head the same. Tha thing is a card for the big fair that the Philadel phians propose to have in honor of the one hundreth aniversary of American Independence at Philadelphia, from the 1st of May to the 1st of December, 1876. We will not publish the article. We are sorry we ever had a United States, and, perhaps, the only error that Gen. Washington ever committed was when he desolved the connection with gentleman to form an alliance with Yankee clock-peddlers and wooden nutmeg-venders. A greater portion of the hundred years has been passed by the South in making cotton to build up Northern cities, railroads and canals. If this man Lewis Wain Smith wants the article published, we will do so at our usual rates of adver tising, cash in advance. We don’t dead head anything of the sort We don’t aid any people who have “ laugh ed us to scorn in our calamity.” Hon. Henry Beusse.—Thisgentle- man’s name was put before the citizens as a candidate for re-election to the Mayorality. His friends are very nnmerous and were anxious to sec him again in office. Mr. Beusse, however, declined running on the night of the meeting, as he though it would interfere with a new business he is about enter ing into. Mr. Beusse has been a most efficient, useful and energetic Mayor, anu has done everything in his power to builu up the city. We have often attended his courts, and were pleased with his dignified rn’inncr of presiding. His discissions were rnCde promptly, without fear, tavor or affection. It is with regret we see him vacate the o3ce. In our intercourse with him, both as nu officer and as a citizen, he has al ways shown what he is, an honorable gentleman. We sincerely hope he will be as successful and as popular in his new vocation as he deserves. We can say, with truth, that we have never heard aught against him, either as a man or as an officer. He will retire from the Mayoralty with the respect of the citizens, and the good will of alL I. O. O. F.—The glorious time at Oliver Emcampment on the first Thursday in December. It is the duty and will be to the pleasusure of every Patriarch to attend. A Curiosity.—We were shown, on Tuesday last, a dead pig, which had two perfectly formed mouths, two tongues, and two sets of teeth. In ev ery other respect it was perfect. The gentlemen who showed it to us said its mother was a very fine Chester sow, ; that he had to kill on account of her chicken-eating propensities. The pig was fully developed, and had the form of a very fine animal. It is a great pity it could not have lived until Bar- num made his appearance among ns, as the great showman would have wel comed its addition to his ranks as a precious gem. One of our physicians has taken it in charge, and is preserv ing it in alcohol. List or Freight remaining In the Depot np to this date.

We were absent at Jefferson Court, and have to be again indebted to our young friend, Mr. Mitchell, the excellent and clever Clerk of Council, which position we hope he will retain as long as he wishes. We know the city can’t find a better one, and we doubt if they can get his equal. He is just what a Clerk ought to be—fully competent in every respect, kind and accommodating in his office, always ready and willing to oblige.

ATrial of Fifty Years.—The New York Observer has passed through the ordeal, and starts out anew on the Becond fifty years with a larger list of readers and more numerous friends than ever. Such a steady course of prosperity is exampled, and inspires confidence. We heartily rejoice in the great succcess of a paper which has always advocated those sound princi ples that underlie the foundations of society and good government; Ortho dox in the truest sense, both in Church and State, its .influence is always good. We see its publishers propose to give to every subscriber for 1678 an appropriately embellished Jubilee Year-Book. Those who sub scribe will have no cause to regret the step. $3 a year. Sidney E. Morse & Co., 37 Park Row, New York. Longs & Billups.—In our issue of to-day, will be seen the advertisement of Longs & Billups. We have been several times in their Drug Store, and lound it well supplied with everything in their line. Their store is large and roomy, handsomely and neatly fitted up, in just the style that any person acquainted with these gentlemen would suppose it would be done. They have a large and handsome assortment of perfumery, soaps, combs, brushes and everything else usually found in a first class drug store. To the citizens of Athens, it is useless to speak of this firm. Here they are known and ap preciated. To visitors to our dty, we say call on them. You will find they are thoroughly conversant with their business, agrecble, high-toned gentle men, who sell good bargains and first rate articles. That is what those who deal with them say—we can only speak of their wares by reports, wearebutpoor judges of drugs, paints or oils. We profess to be judges of men, and can say, without fear of contradiction, that any person will do well in making purchases of this firm. We believe them to be gentlemen in every sense of the word. Their derks are very at tentive, pleasant yonng gentlemen. Give thema call, and they will be found just as we represent them. Morency.—A Serio-Comic Story.— We learn from a circular which has been sent to us, that a work with the above title, written by James M. Smythe, Esq., will be published in the Illustrated Record and Repository, of New York City, in aid of the Con federate Monumental Association of Georgia. Mr. Smythe exhibits his patriotic sentiment in tendering the net pro ceeds of the sales as a contribution to the movement. The work would make an octavo volume of 300 pages. We see, also, J.hat the Publishers will generously donate nine thousand copies of their paper to the same end The work will be complete^ in four current numbers of this great cTgnt- page Southern Pictorial, and for 50 cents it will be furnished to subscribers for six months. The first instalment of “ Morency” (one-fourth,) will be ready for delivery on the first of December, perhaps on the 25th of this month. The Publishers offer handsome pre miums, consisting of Perfumed, Ini tial, and French Stationery, £ens, Pen-holders, Pendls, Sachels, Jet Bracelets, Chains, Jet Sets, Poplar Lithograph Prints, Splendid C’romos, the “ Blonde,” the “ Brunette,” “Babies Awoke,” “Babies Asleep,” for $1.25.

The exceeding liberality of the Pub lishers, mingling, as they do, their sympathies with ours, entitles them to the respect and patronage of our peo ple.

T8£ WUVffTB SOtHEB Athens Foundry and MtfSJCAtE* MacWnc Shop * PROFESSOR L W. HALLAMS ENTERTAINMENT. On Wednesday evening last, incom pliance with an invitation extended us from Professor Hallam, we had the pleasure of attending the Private Musical Soiree, which was the second one of the series, gotten up for the en tertainment of a select circle of bis personal friends. We' hfehrd it rumor ed that the Professor had secured the best musical talent in Athens to assist to render his soiree a success, and we, knowing the profioiency of Prof. H. himself iA this accomplishment, went prepared to feast our ears upon a rare musical treat But our pleasure can better be imagined than described when we say, by waj of introduction, that the entire affair, from first to last, was far ahead of anything our most bril liant ideas could conceive. We arrived at the Hall at the hour appointed, 7§ o’clock, .and found every seat occupied. We l|*ve never seen assembled together a more refined or intelligent audience. We suspicioned the Professor of confining his invita tions, so for as the ladies were concern ed, to the fairest of their sex, for we do think, if he had secured, the selec tion of the State, he could not have gathered together a greater array of beauty than that assembled in his rooms on the occasion. The hall was made comfortable in every way, and nothing neglected that added either to the comfort or pleas ure of his guests. At the hour appointed the Professor appeared, and having arranged the piano, announced that the perform- ance would commence with an over ture—“Poet and Peasant”—by himself and Mrs. Burke. Wc were very much pleased with the appearance of Mrs. B., for her every movement denoted the refined and cultivated lady, and as soon we witnessed the grace and ease with which she advanced and took her seat, and the artistic manner in which she ran her fingers over the keys of the instrument, we knew that there was a musical treat in store for us of an ex traordinary character. Our expecta tions were more than realized, for never did we listen to a more charming ren dition of this lovely piece than that given by this Indy and gentleman. This piece concluded, a friend whis pered us to now prepare ourselves for something that lias not been sur passed since the fair Swedish Nightin gale threw the whole country in ecsta- cies over her voice. He had hardly ceased speaking when there advanced from among the audience a most regal looking young lady, who had not only “ music in her soul,” but music in her eyes, expression, and even walk. Miss Wilde,- of Ban FnmciwOf fbr ouch was this lady, now advanced and stood by the piano, at which Professor Hallam was seated, and commenced that beau tiful song, by Suppe, “Apentano.” We have listened to Nilsson, Patti and hosts of other celebrites, but never in our lives did so sweet, clear and finely- cultivated a voice greet our ears. At first we were charmed, then enraptured and entranced, so angelic was her voice. She sang frequently during the evening, and each song appeared to be an improvement, if possible, upon the other. Among her songs were “ Good-bye, Sweetheart,” “Kiss Waltz,” and “Judith.” As to the lat ter song, wo can only speak of the tune, as the words were French, and it being some time since we £kve visit ed that nation, our French knowledge, as well as dialect, has become rather rusty. But we will take it for granted that the words were beautiful, as the tune was entrancing, and being deliv ered in .that sylph-like voice of Miss W. was charming. Words are inadequate to form a comparison to the voice of this young lady. It at times, as the song permits, passes away into the faint echoing, as of heavenly seraphs, and then gradually swells into such a sweet, yet thrilling rise, that the listener is entranced, and, for the time, almost imagines himself transported to the realm? of the blessed. We understand that Miss Wilde received her musical instruction in .Europe, under tho same instructor as Jenny Lind. By special request, this lady repeated “Good-bye, Sweetheart 1” , Tl»e next lady who appeared was Miss Stanford, a pupil at the Lucy Cobb, who is taking musical instruc tion from Professor Hallam. The piece she selected was that most diffi cult solo by Welhij “Home, Swee Home,” which was rendered in a style that not only did great honor to her- self, but reflected credit upon Professor Hallam, her teacher. We congratu late the Professor upon having such a charming and proficient young lady for a pupil, and assure him he could not have a better advertisement than the superior skill of Miss S. The programe was interspersed with some beantiful pieces on the flute, by Professor Willcox, in which he was as sisted by Mrs. Burke and Mr. Hallam The entire affair was a grand success throughout, and we return our sincere thanks to Professor Hallam and the ladies and gentlemen who assisted, for one of the'most delightful entertain ments it has ever been our pleasure to witness.

Upon our visit to this establishment we found Mr. Nicherson, agent and superintendent, at his post, as he al ways is, and upon making known our business, he readily complied with our request to look through the various departments, and placed us under the charge of Mr. Schevenel, book-keeper, to who we will now tender our thanks for the great pains he took to expain the workings of the difibrent branches of the business. We have not a parti cle of mechanism in our soul, but we nevertheless take great pleasure in ex amining everything connected with the business. In our tour through the building we were surprised to see the amount of work turned out, as well as the supe rior manner in which it is finished. None but first-class and experienced workmen are employed by Mr. Nick erson, which is the secret of every part of the machine or article turned out being just what it ought It is a treat to visit the room in which the patents are stored away. It is a separate building from the shops,, and is piled up to the top with every kind of patent, from the minutest arti cle to the most pondrous water wheel. Here we find the -imprint of every thing ever made in these works, which has turned out so many different arti cles. We think it would take just about two ordinary life-times to give all the patents proper attention. Every branch of the business is car ried on here, from the moulding of the iron to finishing it off in the most ap proved style. There is a large num ber of workmen constantly employed in each room, which enables these works to complete large jobs in an in credible short space of time. We were, at first, astonished at the amount of work that was done here, but when we were reminded of the large section of country that they supplied with machinery and casting, the fact ceased to excite our wonder. Many of our farmers still cling to the idea that they cannot buy a steam engine, saw mill, sugar mill, cotton seed crusher, thresher, corn shellcr, or anything else without going to Atlan ta, or Augusta, or to the North. To such we will say, don’t for a moment entertain any such idea. First come to the Athens Foundry and Machine Works, where you will find any kind of machinery or castings you want, manufactured in your own section, by your own men, which you can buy at the lowest prices. Everything sold by Mr. Nickerson will be found to be just : what he says it is, and if it does not so prove, all you have to do is to carry it back, and satisfaction is guaranteed. No inferior work is ever permitted to leave these shops. Every machine, before it is placed upon the market, is carried through a thorough examina tion, and if the least flaw is tound in any of the works it is condemned and set aside. Mortuary Report of Athens.— We were informed that, during the present year, there has been eighty- one deaths in Athens, of which sixty- three were black and eighteen whites. This goes to prove very conclusively that the negro race, since emancipa tion, is passing away very rapidly. The whites, in this city, are largely in the majority, but still the number of deaths among the blacks almost quad ruples the superior race. The Yankees need not shout “Ku-Klux” to this an nouncement, for we have never, since our sojourn in Athens, heard of the first difficulty between the races. The negroes behave themselves, as a gen eral thing, very well, and our citizens have no desire to impose upon or in jure them. There great decrease is owing to their present lewd way of living, tlie want of proper food, and the filthy condition of their persons. We think we can safely predict that, in the course of ten years, this race in the South will be as few and far between as the Indian. JE;F1R O f COURT. Last Monday morning we called at Mr. Cooper’s Livery Stable, where we obtained a buggy and a very fine little bay horse, and started for Jefferson, to attend the Coart for Jackson county. We arrived in the town after dinner, in company with a young triend, who suggested that we stop at Mr. Ran dolph’s Hotel. As it was our first visit, we had no choice in the matter. We found the Hotel all that we could ask. Mr. Randolph is one man who knows how to keep a hotel. He is vety at tentive to his guests, the ; table well supplied, and every dish well cooked. The beds are neat and comfortable.— As soon as you enter the house, you see, at a glance, that the ladies who man age in Scon are thoroughly domestic. Everything looks dean and comforta-* ble. They move through the house neat in appearance as possible, no noise, no bustle, no scolding servants—all tilings moving on quietly. They are very aggreeable, and a stranger feels at home in a few minutes with this kind family. After pitrtaklng of a well prepared dinner, we walked to the court room, and found Judge Davis presiding, This is the first time we had ever seen hVrti. Hi < countenance is mild in the extreme, and we should take him to be of a very kind an i amiable temperment. The Bar wis well represented. We’saw from Athens Messrs. Cobb, Speer, Erwin, McCa’Iy and Col. Thurmond. We think that was all from this place. Mr. Reid and Mr. Whit Johnson represented the Oglethorpe bar, and she may well he proud of them. There are but few, if any, better lawyers. Wc have heard Mr. Johnson explain questions of law- before the Grand Jury, anil have never known him to err in . his opinions. Judge Rico, Col. Eites, Win. L. Marler and Dunlap, of Gainesville Glenn and Ilutc’.linr of Lawrcncoville. and J. D. Turnbull, of Homer. Oar old friend, Col. Nash, of Madi son, was also there,. looking about as well as he did eight years since. The Col. is one of tho veterans of the Georgia bar, he has been a successful lawyer for many years, and is univer sally popular. We met with Mr. Redwine, editor of the Gainesville Eagle. He was at tending the court in a legal capacity We were introduced to him personally We had been acquainted with him through his interesting paper for some time. He is a pleasant gentleman, and we were gratified a£ making his acquaintance. There were several lawyers there from other counties whose acquaintance we did not form. The Solicitor looks like one who can “ do the State somq service,” ancl we would take him to be a terror to evil doers. During the session of the Court bar. We did not hear him examined, but understand, he answered evety question knowingly and understaad- ingly. Tho population of Jackson county, are, as a general thing, fine looking, well-to-do people, free and open in their manners, and makes a stranger feel perfectly easy among them. There appears to be a genuine hospitality and generosity among them Many of them are very intelligent and We were highly pleased way do so When the entire repertoire was of a character to enlist the most unaffected praise. The animals are really a fine stud ; they are sleek, and do the parts assigned to them with a seeming intelligent comprehension of them. The horsemanship has scarcely been excelled, if ever equalled in this city. The feats of equipoise, vaulting, double somersaulting on horseback; the extraordinoiy leaping—it looked like flying over seventeen animals, aid indeed the whole of tho varied and novel exhibition enables us to accord to the entertainment, of a kind to suit the most susceptible lady, the charac teristics of first class shows. The animals are very rare and woti* derfully interesting. There are speci mens, splendid ones, of the natural kingdom that are worth a visit them selves. We must concede to old “John” the most complete and exten sive amphitheatric combination that has been in these parts for many a /ear, before or since the war. The parade through the principal Street'! just before the matinee, was of a georgeous kind, the splendid wagons, chariots, &c., attracting general atten tion. ’’So much pleased was the old hero of the hippodrome with the greeting he received last evening, that he requested one of his attaches to return his t-bnnlr^ from the ring to the vast audience, which accept d them with heavy ap plause.” Deufree Hall.—Yesterday after noon, in company with Dr. Hunnicut and a few others, we visited Deupree Hall. The preparations are going on finely to its completion for a Theatre. The drop curtain is equal, if not supe rior, to any thing of the kind we ever seen. It represents the Lake of Como. The artist who executed the work de serves great credit for his taste, as well a3 for the workmanship. We have forgotten his name. He boarded at the same hotel with us a short time since. We were much pleased with him and his interesting lady, and felt there was a void in the bouse after thev left. England & Orr.—We see this firm constantly have the greatest variety of dry goods, for both ladiesf and gen tlemen’s wear. It is quite a treat to step into their store. The only objec tion we have to going there is we see so many beautiful goods that we are too apt to break the commandment which says, “ thou shalt not covet.” We would advise our country friend before going to the circus to call at their store, then they will find any and everything they can possibly want. renew it. When we left Jefferson the was trying a young man, whoapj to be about eighteen years of age, for murder. Several negroes were tried for felonies, two of them fo on the persons of white ladies, to be hoped they will suffer the ox penalty of the law. JOHN ROBINSON’SCIRl US. this evening and to-night. We see large numbers on our streets to-day, who have come to see it, and we assure them they will not be disappointed in their expectations when they look to see a tremendous show. Old John Rob inson is well known in this country, and is most faborably known, too, as being the originator and owner ;of by far the best circus in the United States. He has greatly enlarged his show, and otherwise improved it, until he has now made it equal to ten ordinary ones. Let there be a large turn-out, and give old John a warm reception. We copy the following article from the Charleston Courier, in reference to this Circus when exhibiting in that city, which speaks as follows i “For a long time before the doors were open-the streets leading to the Green werte alive with people, male and female, white and colored, wend ing their way, in the most anxious mood, to secure eligible seats. When the inlets to the exhibition were open ed, a stream of humanity poured in that time, every seat on the rear and front benches, and nearly every avail able foot of standing room were occu pied. The attendance of ladies, who were out in large numbers, was a fea ture of the gathering. “ After the immense audience had been regaled for some time with choice music from a talented corps of per formers, the initial act began, and, from that to the last one presented, everything was of the highest order of the art and science of the arena, the mountings of the actors and animals being fully in keeping.
