extricating the feathers therefrom. The

walk around and around the combattants

Death of Mr. A. Ingmire.
The statement that this gentleman is
dead will briug a feeling of sorrow to
many hearts in Columbus. Wherever dis
tress has been known in Columbus, Dou
Ingmire has been there to endeavor
to relievo it. Did any one require a
faithful friend iu his way, Doo was ready !
to render the office to those he cherished,
and bis heart's tenderest affections were j
given to those he loved j and any kind act
or word awakened the warmest sympa
thies of his nature. 110 had his faults, as
our Heavenly Father knows ail of us have:
but everybody had a kind word for Doc
lugmire. His services were ever at the
bidding of the suffering. He was the
most faithful and untiring of nurses, the j
most affectionate and tender of attendants
around the bud of tho sick. No self aac
rilioa was too great for those he thought
worthy. Ila had a big heart—u soul that
embraced tho world. An enemy, no mat
ter how bitter, ho would serve when in
pain and poverty. We have met few such
nobla-hoarted men.
Ho was born in New York, but Las beta
some thirty years in Columbus. He was
a jeweler by trade, and a most industrious
one, but ho was too generous for this
world. For a long period ho was oonnoctod
with the establishment of Mr. T. S. Spear
and others, and for a number of years he
has worked on his own account. Ho had
not a selfish thought; his idea was to serve
his friends.
His age is about forty five years. He
never harmed a human being, every im
puise was kindly, be treated everyone
courteously, he did all ho eouhl to help
his follow creatures, in death he met tho
most generous and ~£ftctionato treatment,
as tho love he had reudered warranted.
A Field Hay.
Tuesday was what tho lawyers call “a
field day,” in the S iperin- Court. The
oall of tiio dockets had been completed;
all the criminals had been sentenced, and
nothing remained but to plead on the
•‘Motion Docket," wherein matters of
uew trials, “rules” against officers Ac.,
come up. For this a jury is sometimes
required, and the jurors have been retain
ed. The contrast yesterday, from tho ap
pearance of the court room the day be
fore, was marked. It was before filled to
suffocation. Yesterday scarcely any out
was present but lawyers and intent cli
ents Geu. Beuuing made a w ell con
sidered, and able argument, against the
constitutionality of the "stay laws of
tie late revolution, and the case will,
probably, go up. Another case o.iuie up,
which was nuts to the lawyers. It- was.a
rule against the Sheriff for money in his
h mils. That prompt officer answered,
that ne had a certain sum, uud asked the
Court how to distribute it. Taere
were various claimants, among others,
the attorneys who had originally brought
the suit, and whose action had placed the
money in Court. They insisted upon
their lien under the Cods. The Court
remarked that it was “class legislation,”
but it was law. There were so many
claimants and so much discussion, that
we. iguoraut of law, did not really realize
how the money went. We judge it went
properly as the Court is partieul ir is such
cases.
A Cincinuati lady offers to lay a wager
that there is not a fashionable girl iu Cin

than wear a pair of single-button gloves.

RAILROAD TO HAMILTON.
Meeting In namilton Next Tuesday TYcsk
When tho officers of tho North and
South Road had completed their first sec
tion of twenty milep, they went forward
and secured iron for the immediate pro
gression of the enterprise. Superinten
dent Chipley wrote from New York to
the stockholders, at their annual conven
tion, urging them to raise §1(5.000 to pay
freight upon the iron. Reliable men had
already contracted to lay it and do othr-r
work necessary to complete the second
section upon the same security upon which
the iion was bought—the bonds of tho
company. When President Blanchard
brought up ihe matter of .§15,000 iu the
stockholders’ convention, a motion to
adjourn was carried unanimously. Then
the company proposed to go on to Hamil
ton if fifteen hundred dollars were ad
vanced to pay freight ou iron to reach
that'point. This proposition met no re
sponse, tho community reiying upon the
Company to do.all without aid from those
most interested. Then came the crash,
and with it fell, for the present, all kinds
of contracts, especially railroad engage
ments. At last the dullest person has
quit asking “when will the road get to
Hamilton ? for the most ordinary intel
lect can appreciate that its going depends
upon tho people, and irthayfwant it they
must help build'ib
While a demand for §1,500 met no re
sponse whatever, a d _month or two back,
the new proposition for a much larger
sum is now commanding earnest attention,
and tho best efforts of tho community
are being pnt forth to raise it.
We are gkd to see this ao.ion, asit in
dicales an intelligent understanding of
tho hiiuation, and a proper appreciation
of their duty in the premises.
Hamilton will double her business in a
tweivo month from tho day the locomo
tive reaches her limits, and the road will
euhancoyalnes on its iir.o to an extent
that will benefit, tho’most distant taxpayer
in the county.
Wo regard every man in the county as
interested iu the completion of the enter
prise, and vre trust tho meeting appointed
for the first Tuesday in January (the Gth
prox.) will baa rousing and successful
one. We are told one hundred dollars
from fifty men or two hundred from
twenty-five will secure the road. It is
absurd to think of failure. Every mer
chant iu Hamilton will save either amount
in six mouths ia-drayage, and every prop
erty holder will be repaid in the enhance
ment of their real estate, and equally as
great should be the interest of the plan
ters for miles on each side of tie line.
Remember the first Tuesday in January
and be at Hamilton.
Scene in Court—Fining ofan Impromptu
Jndgo.
Wednesday morning Col. L. T. D. went
to the Judges’ bench and commenced tho
examination of ihe docket of the day.
This was before the commenement of the
session. Major R. J. M. entered. The
seeming Judge on the bench at once call
ed out:
Mr. M., your eases are dismissed because
of want of prosecution, owing to your
absence.
Major M. glanced up. Being near
sighted he did not recognize immediate
ly who was in the chair, and prepared to
move for a reinstatement. Very soon he
discovered who was on the bench and at
once moved that the gentleman pre
siding be fined a banket of champagne be- i
eauHO of a usurpation of authority.
The motion was at once seconded by .
assistant clerk, S,,put by Gen. 8., and the 1
chair was compelled to acknowledge it
had been unanimously carried.
The affair created much diversion.
The would bo Judge played the game
out, accepted tho situation and tho mem
bers of the bar had a marry time after the
adjournment of tho session. The occa
sion furnished much enjoyment and witty
sayings.

t Jack Pace, negro, convicted of murder,
was sentenced to be hung at some oonve

Sidewalk Notes.
All our country cousins came in Satur
day to see the circus. The elephant at
tracted the largest crowd of native Ameri
cans from African descent.
T!i9 festive eggnog, the gonial Tom and
Jerry and the egg flip were the admira
tions of Saturday.
The mayor had two negroes before him
Saturday. Only christens, and they
were dismissed.
The Great Eastern circus steam tooter
kept the Superior Court quiet a while Sat
urday. Tho tooter was too much, aud
made eloquence sileut.
If your writing resembles the crawling
of a chicken’s foot dipped in ink, over
paper, don’t write to a city editor during
Christmas. No matter what the color, it
can’t be read.
When is a turkey a ghost ? When it’s a
goblin. This is patented.
Columbus now has a negro ventrilo
juist who has been here several days. He
claims he is from Philadelphia, and con
nected with the Great Eastern circus.
The negroes threaten him with a knock
down, when he sounds voices in their
stomach. He is also a good sketcher, es
pecially of faces. He shades them rapid
ly and well.
Brown villa'* Methodist church had a
fine Christmas tree spread in the church
Thursday. Gifts plentiful and speeches
happy.

A VISIT FROM ST. NICHOLAS.
\ ’Fwns the nl-rht before Christmas when all
through the Uou-.o
Not a creature Wtv~, stirring, not even a n»a?a;
Xi;o stockings were hung by Ilia chimney with
c»re,
la iaa hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be
the e;
The children wore nestled all snujj In their
beds, »
While visions oi Btsgar plums dsneed in their
heads;
And Mamma in her ’kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled oar brains Vr a long; winter’s
nip;
When out on tho lawn there arote sacii a ehat
! ttr,
I sprang from the bed to see what was tho
miner.
Away to tho window I -lew like a flish,
Toro pen the shutters and threw up tho sash.
The moon on the breast ol the new-iulleu snow,
tiavo the lustre of mid-day to objects bei w,
When, what to my wondering eyes should ap
pear,
But a miniature sltigh and eight tiny rein
deer,
With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be tit Nick,
more rapid than eagles Ins coursers tiny came.
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them
by name:
“Now Basher! now, Dancer! now, Tear.car! and
Vixen!
On, Comet! on, Cop id! cn, Dander and Blitxen !
I’d the lop of the porch! to the top oi tho w . 11!
Now dasa away-.' dash away ! dash away ail 1”
As dry leaves that be.ore the wild hurricane
fii’i
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to
tho sky;
So up to the house top tho swift coursers flew,
With tho gio.gu lull of toys, and Si. Nicholas
too.
And than, in a twinkling, I heard ou the
roof,
The pranoing and pawing of each lit'.lo hoof—
As 1 drew ia my head, and was turning around,
Down tho chimney St. Nicholas earns with a
bound.
lie was drossod all in fur from his hoad to his
loot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes
and soot.
A bundle ut toys ho had flung on his back,
And he looked like a peddler just opening his
pack.
His eyes—how they twinkled .' his dimples how
merry!
His oheeks wore like roses, his nose lieo a Cher- •
ryi
His droll ii.tlo mouth was drawn up like a
bow,
And the board of his chin was as white as the
snow;
The stump of a pipe he held tight in liia teeth.
And th smoko it encircled his head ii».o a
wreath;
lie had a broad face and a little round belly,
That shook, when he laughed, like a bowliull i
ot jelly. I
no was chubby and 'dump, a right jolly old
elf,
And 1 laughed when I saw him, iu spite of my
self;
A wmk of tho eye and a twist of tho head,
Soon gave me to know 1 hau nothing to dread ;
lie spore not a word, but went straight to lug
work,
And sided all tho stockings, then turned with
a jerk,
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod up ihe chimney he rose ;
Ho Sprang to his sleigh, to hls"toaia gave a
wuistlo,
And away they all flew like tho down of a this
tle.
But I hoard him exclaim, ere he drove out of
sight,
“AT erry chrishnes to all, and to all a good night /”

Cotton at Columbus.

(increase of 300 bales. The river cotton
per last boat not yet warehoused demon
strates that our cotton receipts avo only
twelve bales behind last year. Ail tho
