Fifteen Hundred Cases of Measles in Atlanta.— The Atlan ta Sun of Thursday, says “it is com puted by judges” that there are at present more than fifteen hundred cases of measles in that city and vi cinity. It adds, however, “that aside from this there is very little sick ness.” We shouid hope not.

It took beautifully, but the patient says that both for appearance and comfort he would almost as lief have small-pox.

Collision.—We learn that near Ac. worth on Sunday morning a collision took place between an engine on a freight train and a lumber train. It appears that the engineer of the freight train had stopped his cars, and .unnod down the road with the engine after his dinner.

UNITED STATES SENATORS. The most benevolent and most lib eral minded Senator is Henry Wil son, of Massachusetts; the meanest, most bigoted, malicious, and narrow minded, is old Brownlow, of Tennes see; the most learned and cultivated, is Charles Sumner, of Massachusetts; the most ignorant and stupid, is old- Flannagan, of Texas.; the most aris tocratic, is Fenton, of New York; the most plebian, is Morton, of Indi ana; but Morton is a man of great powers; be is also a “ Ji/ius tera?” therefore, let him have the honor that is his due. The greatest lawyer, is Trumbull, of Illinois; the greatest egotist, is Bayard, of Delaware; the most affable, is Vice President Col fax; the most acetic, is Conk ling, of New York; the greatest debauchee, is Frank Blair, of Missouri; the greatest pharisee, is Sanctimonious Frelinghuysen, of New Jersey.— Cameron, of Pennsylvania, is the oldest; Patterson, of South Carolina, is the youngest; General Ransom, of North Carolina, is the best looking; Ferry, of Connecticutt, the common est looking. Carl Shurz, of Missouri, is like a race-horse. Thurman, of Ohio, is like General Toombs. T. T. J.IiCRNFY. This gentleman, agent of the “At lanta Herald,” has been in the city this week. According to the eternal fitness of tilings, it must have been ordained before the founbation of the world, by the “iloneradle Mayor and Council of the Universe,” that Tom Burney should rise up to be the agent of the Herald. Burney would be mis erable witrout the llerald; without Burney, we fear, the Herald long ago would have handed in its checks, and put in tlie plea of non ext. We are not much on compliments, but on the principle of “honor to whom honor is due” we say, Burney is a brick, ho is also a trump, a clever youth, a culti vated gentleman, a business man of fine address, tact and energy; in a word, tlie best newspaper agent we ev er saw. GENERAL JOHNSTON DEAD. Richmond, Marcli 3.—Genera Edward Johnston died here yester day. He served in the Florida and Mexican wars as an officer of the United States army, and during the late civil war linked his fate with the South.

Fourteen by coaversion and four by letter, joined the Babtist church in Columbus last week. Montgomery, March 3.— ln the Supreme Court to-day two of the Justices decided that the late Court house Legislature was a legal body.

Madrid, March 3. —The majority of the Assembly are determined to carry through the bill for the ab olition of lavery before the naviga tion bill. The Western and Atlantic Rail road Company have now nearly sev enty effective engines, twenty-five or thirty iu first-class working order. They have purchased about twenty new engines, between three and four hundred local and green-line cars, and nearly laid a continuous rail from Atlanta to Chattanooga, ballasted all the soft, wet road bed; thoroughly ditched the road from one end to the other; lengthened the side track; covered and overdecked the bridges. The Company has expended in im provments over $500,000. —Atlanta Constitution. Imagine an old negro slumbering, with his feet pointing to a glimmer ing fire. Opens one eye and gets a glimps of them as they stand in their obscurity. Mistakes them for two little negroes, and cries: “Gitfiira ’fore me!” and relapses into sleep. After a while opens the other eye, and still seeing the intruders, says : “Git sum ’fore me, I say! I kick you in de fire if you don’t—l will, shuah!” and again he snores. His dreams not be ing pleasant, he soon opens his eyes, and still seeing the little pests, he draws up his foot for the threatened kick, but is alarmed to see the enemy advance upon him, and exclaims: “Wha-whar you cornin’ to, now? Humsh, my own foot, by jolly ! Are blacksmiths who make a liv ing forging, or carpenters who do a little counter-fitting, any worse than men who sell iron and steel for a living.

On Friday last—just one week ago to-day—our town was merry and happy, in tlie full enjoyment of health, and the associations of friends and loyed ones. The kind and in dulgent father, as lie neared liis home from accustomed place of busi ness, quickened his steps as the merry voices of those he loved fell upon his ears, while the fond and loving moth er clasped her darling child to her bo som, as only a mother can, feeling that all was well and that her cup of happiness was, indeed, filled to over flowing. But alas, what a change. To-day our town is in the deepest grief and sorrow. The messenger of death has visited many an houshold, and claim ed their brightest jewels as his own. The first summons was for little ELLA TUMLIN, youngest daughter of Wm. M. Tum lin, to quit this world of sorrow and pain. She died of croup, at 3 o’clock Saturday morning, after a brief ill ness. Her father was absent at the time of her death, and returned to find the idol of his heart—his little pet, the joy of his life—prepared for the grave. Cut fiber t Appeal (2 2d). RECEIPT FOR KILLING A TOWN A contemporary speaks truly it says to kill a town, under-rate every present and prospective enterprise, speak ill of the churches and schools, tell everybody the hotels ‘are bad,’ enlarge on the vices of the people, espesially the young’ with hold your patronage from your mer chants and tradesmen, and buy your dry goods and groceries in some other place, and by all means go to the city for your millinery and such like, nev er subscribe for the local paper, and if you are in business refuse to adver tise. OBITUARIES Died, in Cuthbert, Ga., on the 15th inst, ELLA StCLAIR, youngest child of Capt. Wm. M. and Mrs. A. B. Tumlin, aged 1 year, 10 mouths and 15 days. A pretty babe, with a warm, effectiouate nature and spright ly mind, her playful disposition and amiable spirit, won the hearts of lov ers of innocence. Her sunshiny mirthfulneas drove the shadows from the minds of her devoted parents, and sweet were the hopes they cherished of her maturer years; but He. who said, “Suffer little chil dren to come unto me and forbid them not, for such is the kingdom of heaven,” hath called her away, to dwell with himself iu glory. May the same gracious voice woo the stricked hearts of father, mother and absent sister—who is the only surviving child —towards His abode of blessedness and peace ! A poet asks: “Where are the dead the vanished dead who trod the earth which now we tread ?” If we were to make a random guess, we should say the mo3t of them are buried. As the season of parties approaches, boys begin to feel gal-lant and “gals” bo-yant. WHAT “THEY” SAY GOSSIP. Why is the letter Y like a young lady ? Because it makes pa pay. Chairs should not be covered with silk, they must be sat-in. When is a bow not a bow ? When it is a bow-not. The best place for the blind —The see-side. When a man’s necktie is untied how untidy he looks! The table of interest is the dinner table. The most lionized of the Prophets— Daniel. A waterspout—A teetotal oration. The best color for faces —Water- color. A word to the wise—Keep so. Last words of the criminal —“For- get me knot.” Minister of the Interior—A coun try clergyman. The ties that connect business men with the public—Advertise. School for Scandal—A presidential canvass. When is a woman wrong? When she is a miss. What is the best thiug to prevent a maid from disparing? Pairing. When is a lawyer like a donkey ? When he is drawing a conveyance. When is a gun-barrel like a chick en ?—When it is a little fowl. Bayonets are driven, but bullets are lead. Mount Vesuvius is said to be a fine old crater. A storm is like a fish after a hook when it is going to abate. ; Incredible as it may seem, many of the richest planters of Jamaca live on coffee grounds. By what means was Mrs. Fair ac quited?

Modesty—A beantiful flower that flourishes in secret places. Lawyer—A learned gontlemen who rescues your estate from your enemy and keeps it himself. The Grave—An ugly hole in the ground which lovers and poets wish they were in but take uncommon care to keep out of. Voltaire’s definition of a physician is: “ An unfortunate gentlemen, ex pected every day to preform a mir acle, namely, to reconcile health with intemperance. “Roast beef,” said a boarder to a waiter at the house. “How will you have it, sir ?” “Well done, thou good and faithful servant.” Item.—A new covering is being provided for all the New Year bells that have peeled. An old lady, hearing somebody say that mails were very irregular, said: “It was just so in my young days—no trusting on ’em.” Women in arms—Well, that’s as it ought to be. What is the difference between a church bell and a radical office hol der? One peals from the steeple and the other steals from the people. A Disease With at Thousand Symptoms. Dyspepsia is the most perplexing of all hu man ailments. Its symtoms arc almost infinite in their variety, and the forlorn and despon dent victims of the disease often fancy them selves the prey, in turn, of every known mala dy. This is due, in part, to the close sympa thy which exists between the stomach uud the brain, and in part also to the fact tliut any dis turbance of the digestive function necessarily disorders the liver, the bowels and the nervous system, and affects, to some extent, the quality ol the blood. A medicine that, like Hostet tcr’s Bitters, not only tones the stomach, but at the same time controls the liver, produces a regular habit of body, braces the nerves, puri fies the fluids and “ministers to a miud diseas ed,” therefore the true and only specific for chronic indigestion. Suoh is the operation of this famous vegetable restorative. It not only cures dyspepsia, but also all concomitants and consequences. Moreover, it is invalnable as a preventive of indigestion. No one who choos es to take half a wiueglassful of this agreeable appetizer and stomachic habitually three times a day will ever be troubled with oppression after eating, nausea, sour eructations, or any other indications of a want of vigor in the di gestive and assimilating organs. The debility and languor superinduced by hot weather are immediately and permanently relieved by the Bitters, and persons who are constitutionally , inclined to look upon life “as through a glass, darkly,” will be apt to take a brighter and more hopeful view of the situation under the geniel influence of this wholesome medicinal stimulant.
