Sharon, is a candidate for Justice of the Peace, in the election to take place on the First Saturday in January, next. We know of no one who could fill that position with more satisfaction to the people, and we have no duubt of his election. Steincnger & Engel have special arrange ments with the Western markets that enable them to sell at low rates. For further pmj- ticulars inquire at the Upper Hint RuW Store. Pugilistic.—We learn that a little pugilism was indulged by a couple of bellicose gents at Rutherford’s Livery Stable, last Saturday evening. As usual one got the best of the other, and the on who got the worst, retired with a "ibanty" over bis optical demonstrators. Woo] flew and gore flowed, yet no seri ous damage was done. Rims! Boas!

Harrell, accompanied by a band of delightful mnsie.procceded to the resi dence of the editor of Tiif, Democrat, and through their accomplished spokes man, (Y>1. John W.

Death of an Esteemed Lady.— Wo regret to learn that .Airs. Ponalson, the estimable mother of our fellow-citi zen.Mr. J. B. Don a Ison.departed this life on last Saturday evening. She was be loved by all who knew her. Annual Meeting of the Stone wall Engine Company.—On Wed nesday. the 4th instant, this company- held their Sixth Annual Meeting fyr the election of officers for the ensuin'; year. The company turned out in full numbers, as an evidence of their inter est in this meeting. At an early hour their handsome Hall was 'brilliantly lighted, and the members and guests began to arrive. We noticed present, officers Harrell and Belcher, of the De partment, and Foreman B right, and several members of the “Oak City,” and citizens. The Hall was comfortably filled, and good humor and harmony prevailed. James Watt, who has filled the post of Foreman f<>r three years, with so much honor to himself and credit to the company, declined a renuniination The officers elect, for the year, are: John D. Harrell, Foreman; Emery Johnson, 1st Assistant; Edward J. Henderson, 2nd Assistant; Theo. R. Wardcll, Secretary; Thus. N. JJniffin. Treasurer. Having the honor of being one on the Roll of Stonewall, in years gone by and in the infancy of this gallant com pany, when we recall the names of those who stood shoulder to shoulder in those days, and have proved true to the pres ent hour, through good and evil report, some of whom are dead, and others moved to different pa its, we cannot hut feel a lively interest in its past history well as its present. It has been the company’s fortune to win the gratitude of the public on many trying occasions, by their promptness and unfaltering ’energy. Tbu post of fireman is one of danger—in cold—in storm—in darkness, and in sun, it is his duty to fly to the rescue, and he bravely accepts the issue. The Anniversary of the Stonewall, coming on Saturday, the seventh inst., the usual parade was deferred. We wish the company many returns of the Annual Meeting, marked with prosperity and continued usefulness. Drugs and Medicines of best quality for sale, by H. J. Swearingen.

Marriage of the Editor of the Democrat.—By icfercnce to a notice elsewhere, it will he seen that Mr. Ben E. Russell, editor of The Democrat. was married to Miss Cora Cunningham’ at the residence of Mr. Sutton Trulock, near this city, on the 4th instant. VV e attended the party, which, on account of the horse epidemic, was quite a small one. it being almost impossible to secure vehicles. But while the editor was thus disappointed in nut having his many friends accompany him on this expedition, he carried with him the best wishes and heartiest congratulations of every member of his acquaintance. At Mr Trulock's, we fonnd quite a large party of the bride’s relatives and friends awaiting us; and we misiht sav anxioush- awaiting us. as we were nearly three hours behind the appointed time. At three o’clock the ceremony took place. We had uever before witnessed the marriage of an editor—so we ob served Mr. Russell closely, as he ap proached the altar, supporting so ten derly. and with such editorial gallantry, the loveliest maiden of the “Flower Land." He was firm. calm, exultant, and passed the ordeal like a real hero— and then looked as happy and serene, as if every delinquent subscriber to the Democrat had just paid up. Now followed “congratulate you’s.” and "God bless you s ’ for half an hour, and then dinner—a bountiiul repast, fraught with everything calculated to tempt the human appetite. And w ho could have prepared so enjoyable a meal but that kindest and best of women. Mrs. Trulock ? Dinner over, and the bridal party returned to the city, since which time the editor’s face has been lit up by a entile of supreme satisfaction! ^hieh seems to say to every “single blessed” man of ns—“go thou and do likewise." In conclusion, let us join the hun- I’rospect.vses.—Our daily exchanges will please have a little patience with us—their announcements will fie pub lished just as soon as possible. Miraculous Escape.—One evening Inst week an ox team, drawing a heavy load of wood, took fright and ran down the side-walk of Broughton street, near Henderson’s, at a rapid -rate.. Three of Mr. Nussbaum’s children were on the walk—the two eldest, however, got out of the way. before the danger, but a little boy, of about three years, walked leisurely in -front of the frightened oxen and just as the alarmed multitude of citizens thought he would be instantly killed, the brave little fellow stepped quigkjy to one side, and the maddened Bursts passed on. That Beautiful Cake.—Mrs. M. J. Bryan and Mrs. E. J. Scott have a thousand thanks for that superb cake presented the editor last week. It was greatly admired by all who beheld it.— Ladies, we shall never fir get yon. Discharged.—Mr Lyftn. the man who killed the negro MeKenney, last Thursday, near this city, had his case investigated on Saturday, when ft was clearly proven that he did the killing iu self d uensc lie was then discharged from custody. Judge II. G. Crawford.—We in advertently omitted to mention in our last is*uc that this gentleman is the reg ular Democratic nominee for County Treasurer, in the next election. There is not a better citizen, or more honora ble man in the State of Georgia than Judge Crawford, and if elected he will fill the position of Treasurer to the sat isfaction of all. Personal—R. W. DaVi&, Esq.;— This talented and brilliant lawyer has. at the solicitation of many friends there, removed from this city to Blake ly,-in Early county. Mr. Davis, though young, is a lawyer of no ordinary ability. We have noticed him when brought in contact with the oldest ‘ stagers”, of the bar, and there his legal learning, clear logic, and the masterly handling of his cases, gained for him the admiration of all. If life is spared’ him, ere he reaches its meridian any, community in this fair land will be proud to claim him as a fellow-citizen. May all the good luck that ever befell an individual in this world, be Mr. Davis’ in his new home.

STOCK O At a meeting of the extreme Left afc&l WinCei* was decided not to more tor a dissolu tion of the Assembly until the questioiu. - had been thoroughly agitated by means- d of petitions. Lsflffeele started this idea, and it is rapidly gaining ground. Pe titions for dissolution are coming in from all parts of the country. The Assembly committee charged with the consideration of the electoral law, have decided to recommeud that the franchise be given all males over twenty-five years of age who have lifed one year in the district in which they' ^ vote, And the duty of voting be made compulsory.^ The Electoral Vote of Geoigift.

Tht^ Enterprise gives this acconnt of it: This morning about 8 o’clock, as Swayze was coming down Cotton Avenue, no was met by Cummings, in front of Abel’s store. A few words passed between them, when Cummings hawked and spit in Pwayze’s free. Swayze ran his hand in his p- cket as if to draw a wcap on. but instantly declared: that he was not armed. Cummings to’.dhim he d d not wish to take any advantage of him, whereupon Swayze continued his walk to the Union office. About half an hour later Swayze camo hack as far as Farmer's corner, and after waiting there a few moments turned and went back to the office. These are facts related to us by eye-witnesses.

This well known Georgia authoress, whose “Heart Hungry" created a most favorable impression inliterary circfes, has gone to New York to bring out her second story^entitlcd “Clifford Troup." The Atlanta Herald says of it: “From a gentleman of sound judg ment and ability, we learn thafrit is a gTeat improvement upon her firSf effort, and that it is compelled to add largely to the author’s reputation. The argu ment is. whether in qbeying tbe obliga tion impnsriTby the’ Fifth Command ment. children are justifiable in com mitting crime, or at best in setting aside the nobler impulses of their better natures, which God has implanted in their bosoms. Its chief charm is its naturalness, and as its morality Is unex ceptionable. it is destined to find its way to every fireside in the land. One thing that perhaps will enhance its interest more than all other reasons combined, is the fket that the character of ‘the Hon. Reuben Hall (a leading-character) is intended as a-complfrnent to Georgia's trreat and wise statesman, the Hon. A. So many stories are aflo.it as to what are the net results of Hr. Greeley’s “Busy Life” that we print the following with all due reserve: “It is probably an error, the report that Mr. Greeley’s old home at Cliappaqua is to be auctioned at least for the present. Although not a rich, man the great editor was very well provided for. His stepk in the Tribune, valued at §13,000 a share, is his legacy to his children. Besides this, he had a farm in Virginia, which is said to be worth considei able, although he got it very cheaply. The §100,000 insurance policy, spoken of, was taken out by the Tribune Association, and on ly a share, of course, belongs to -V r. Greeley’s estate. His two daughters, Ida and Gabrielle, have warm friends to go to. Mr. Greeley's only sister, has long been a mother to them; in this, at least, the unhappy girls will have a re lenting mercy in all their desolation.” The Situation in Paris. A dispatch dated Paris. 6th instant, says : The committee of thirty appoint ed by the Assembly yesterday, in ac cordance with the resolution of Minister Du Favre, held its first mteting to-day. Organization having been completed, the committee adjourned to meet on Monday, when it will proceed to busi ness. according to the motion by which it was created. The committee structcd to draw up a project of law defining the responsibilities ot Ministers and regulating the relations'fit several powers of State. It is expected that it will report a bill declaring that Buy Minister who shall be censured must resign, and excluding the President from debate in the Assembly, but giving him, by way of compensation, a limited'yito power. It is inferred from the politic;*! composition of the committee that any proposition for any dissolution of the Assembly will be rejected, and nothing more -radical than a partial renewal chamber, once a year, or once every two years, like the American Senate, has been entertained. Le Bien Public says the complexion of the committee makes the situation all the more precarious, while the execu tive and Assembly are equally averse to compromise. The country cannot tol erate the present state of affairs. It intimates that the country should spon taneously intervene, which is interpret ed to mean it should continue to send THE GREAT FRENCH REMEDY. DELAIIARKE’S SPECIFIC FILLS. Prepared by J.
