A Geese or Goose Fight. Yesterday morning lower Broad was ex cited over a tight between two of the geese tribe. A considerable number of persons witnessed it, and only one of the crowd had ever seen one before. Their system of warfare is peculiar —one forcing his bill into the shoulder of the other and extricating the feathers therefrom. The balance of the tribe in the meantime, walk around and around the combattants with outstretched necks and cackling aoise. After the tight the victor strutted and flapped his wings, and went from one gander to another, who, in dumb show, evinced their approval It was a rare U WJM/OJI CO VET- A OVUMII EH TERM.

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 cinnati but would rather stay from church than wear a pair of single-button gloves. Nobody takes her up. 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. •Personal*). There were several ministers visiting the session Saturday of tho South Georgia Conference. Tho following are a few of those who were introduced: Dr. Battle, President of Mercer University; Revs. Mclntosh and Mcßride, pastors of Die Ist nnd 2d Baptist Churches; Revs. J. W. Heidt, D J.

Mr. Christian, that he must go, for if alive, ho coukl not sit in its pro tracted sessions. Dr. Pierce has been a delegate to this highest Council of the Church, from its first session, every four years, until the present. • - - -*» Sentenci** in tbe Superior Court Ttit?£* day. t Jack Pace, negro, convicted of murder, was sentenced to be hung at some oonve ! nient place near the jail on Friday, Jan uary 30th. The negro looked as if he was hung already. At the conclusion t>f tho impressive sentence of Judge John ‘ son, tho immense number of negroes present gave an unearthly groan. In going back to jail, “Ike Adams, colored, remarked to Jack “My hell is bad enough 1 —your’s is worse.” To which Jack replied, \ “When they come to hang mo they will find me hanging.” He killed a negro on I Cody’s, formerly Odom’s, place iu the country. Shep Parker, colored, found guilty of voluntary manslaughter, was sentenced to ten years in the Penitentiary. Ike Adams, colored, found guilty of an assault with intent to murder, was sen tenced to five years in the penitentiary.

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.

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.

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 /” —Clsmcni C. Moore. Col. Logan E.

Conti- I donee is being re-assured owing to the heavy I sales of cotton. The shipments h ve also been very heavy this week. There soems to boas abundance of currency to move crops. Many Congressional systems of relief h-.ve been talked of In Congress. Free banking is receiving deserved care and thougut The West and Fonth generally favor expansion, to which tho North and Fast is oppoeed. Thus lar during toe holidays 'money has been rather Irecly spent in a minor way.

The estimate makes the overland cotton 141,000 hales and Southern consumption 167,000— the same as last year, The statement coming from the source it does, possesses great weight. Cotton iu sight, which a few weexs since was several hundred thousand bales uehiiiU las year, now shows a Increase. Aid the mills in the country arc nmy either running on lull time or preparing to dos., at once. This will occasion a good spinning de mand. All the Columbus Mills have resumed fu’.i. time. The receipts of tho week havobeon good, and iho sales large—the most being on Boston or ders. Brices have been well sustained. Tho course of receipts at the porta and interi or towns for .lie past few weeks, indicates that cotton has been hurried rapidly to market.
