CJ)f|)amtitott Visitor BY b7W. D. BOULLY. FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 4, 1873. Columbus Advertisements. Messrs. Baldwin & Underwood are agents for the Wilson sewing ma chine,*which is not only considerably cheaper, but is said to excel all other first-class maehiues. Parties needing a machine, would do well to take a look at the Wilson before buying. Messrs. Peacock So Swift offer a large and handsome stock as low as can be bought in the city. Mr. P. is an accommodating gentleman, and lias long been identified with the dry goods trade of Columbus. Mr. S. is an old citizen of the city, one of her most liberal cotton dealers, and in every way reliable. 8. Landaucr Sc Hr©. advertise a large and well selected stock, which they have bought to soil, and not to keep. Mr. J. A. Kirveti is with them, and will be pleased to seo hia old friends. If you want anything in the cloth ing line, you can find it in the large and well made stock of lloffliu, Rich Jt Cos. These gentlemen advertise a large lot of diagonal suits, besides all grades and stslcs of cassimcres, hats, Heads, etc.—in fact, everything usu ally kept in a first-class clothing cs tahhshMieut. The only reliable cook, in these days of freedom, is a good stove. If yoa want to get your wife ono of the best in use, buy a Charter Oak in Columbus of W. 11. Bobarts Sc Cos. Messrs. Jkumoltit Cos., offer their •took of stoves, hardware, house fur iirdjiag goods, etc., at prices as low as any intlm oity. They will also do any hind of .tin or sheet iron work. The stsdk Ur. J. L. Cheney Sc Son is all mew, fresh, and reliable. Dr, C. has been practicing over thirty years, and for the last fifteen years, hi and near the city, lie Ims always occupied the front rank. A Fearftol Shipwreck. Anoflier *f !thoo terrible mtirino dianlers wliidk almost curdle the lilood ui one's veins, is flushoJ over Ue wine*. The sterna ship Adamic left Liver pool far New York on the 20th uIL llumung short of coni, she ntmlt* for Halifax, N. H. On the morning of the let she ran ashore on Meagher’s Head. She had on board over one thousand men, women and children. Oulj* two hundred and fifty succeeded in landing. The remainder, including all the women and children, wore lost These are all tho particulars re ceived before going to press. A Kkboskxk llonuoK.—ln the township ef Cascade, Kent county, Michigan, lately, Mrs. M. 6. Smith was sitting tyt doing some work, her husband and sou having gone to bed, when a kerosene lamp et{dold, en veloping the unfortunate woman in llamcs. 'With a shriek of terroor she awakened her husband and rushed out of the house, followed by her husband. Mr. Smith, with his hands and snow endeavored to extinguish the dame*, but did not succeed until tbe clothing of his wife was burned completely off, and her body so badly burned that she cannot live. Mr. Smith was so badly burned that he will l>e a cripple for life, and it is feared totally blind. While this heartrending ttoeue was going on outside, the boy, a lad about four teen year* old, and the house were forgotten. The burning oil set the house on fire and it and tbe sleeping hoy were con sun cd. Th* Pchw.—The Atlanta Com mercial Advertiser ha* been changed from a weekly to a daily paper. We wish it ooutinned success. The second number of the Tween, * ttew paper just started at Thaaaa*- villt, ha* reached u*. It atarta rail nearly lull of advertisement*, and is a very neat looking sheet. Alston WA*Htiiot'ss. —Mr. H. T. Hatcher has purchased the partner ship interest of Mr, llaaaerd in the *bovo<estaHihnient. Mr. Ha teller is a son-in-law of Mr. H. 8. Gates, of Columbus, and ia well knows there and ia the attaining counties. Storm in Coixmuus.— Cjknabns was visited l*y a -storm last Tuesday wiich mroofed .houses, blew down trees and fence*, and jdayed havoc generally. Itla thought that SOO,OOO will not oover the damage done. Dim—ln this place, on the 3lst tilt, after a brief bnt stormy exist ence, known to til, hat negaotted by nene, March, aged HI .days, lie “came in like a lion,” but failed to “ go out like a lamb.” P®" Mormon agents arc reported negotiating for laud in Mexico. Declared Unconstitutional. Judge James Johnson, of the Mus cogee Cuircuit, has recently decided the ficedmeti’s contract law of 1806 —making it a misdemeanor for a planter to hire a freedman who is al ready under contract with another to be unconstitutional. Two cases of this kind came up on the criminal docket, and ho ordered a nolle pro- Hi'ptii entered in each instance Judge Johnson’s reasons for his decision were these : This law abridges the rights of citizenship by inflicting a system of compulsory labor upon a certain class of persons, ihe.Con— Ktiintioii says there shall be no invol untary servitude exacted except for the commission of crime ; yet this law, by its operations, compels a freedman to remain with and peifortu labor for a planter although he does not desire so to do, aifd, it left to bis own free choice, would depart at once. The conpnlsion consists in using the people of the neighborhood as n sort of guard over the laborer, as it is made a misdemeanor for any-per son to hire or employ him. 1 Ids, Judge Johnson claims, puts the hoot on the wrong foot, as the freedman himself, not the planter thus employ ing him, is the responsible party in the matter. If a freedman contracts to work for a planter, and for any reason whatever leaves bis employer before the time of service expires, the planter mu*t hold that freedman responsible in a civil suit for dama ges, ami not seek redress through a criminal suit, under the law referred to, against another planter, who may have Hid>scijiienlly employed the de serting freedman. —Auyueta Chron icle. -•*• ♦ * " CoiXMIUJS MeKI-HANTH IV TIIK Wholesale Hums ess.— We a' e glad to soe that at least our dry goods merchants are awaking up to the im portance of looking after the whole saling business of thin section. Du ring the past few weeks quite a number heavy bills have been sold to country merchants in our crea of territory, and there ia no reason why many others should not eome here to lay in their stocks. The truth of the business is, Columbus merchants have quietly allowed Atlanta, Macon and Montgomery to slip in and gobble up this description of trade, while we have been content to take the little fetail that Inis happened to come along. We hnvf all the ad vantages in dry good* that neighboring cities have, mid it is high time that our merchants were letting country deal ers know It. We are assured by some of our loading dry goods men that they can duplicate New York hills, with freights ami other neces sary expenses added. This being the case there is no necessity for country dealers to waste time and money in going to New York. Let them come here to make their purchases. A trial will satisfy them that it is to their interest to do so.— Enquirer. CST* Sarah Ilutillon, a factory girl of New Hampshire, has had a fairy history. In a newspaper she acciden tally anw the name of a Mr. Hutillon, of Natchitoches, who bail taken part in some public demonstration, The name being quite uncommon, Sarah wrote a modest letter of enquiry, giving her own genealogy, ami sug gesting that there might bo some re lationship. In a fortnight cnine an answer, cheerfully written in which a distant relationship was demonstra ted. Tho Southerner added that he was old, without family, and had few friends, and earnestly hoped for a continuation of the correspondence. Agreed to, and kept up for three years; but her last letter remained unanswered for three months, when oamo a letter from Mr. Hutillion’s lawyer, informing her that the dem ob! man had left her his w hole prop erty, amounting to over $400,000. Sarah, by the wav, just before receiv ing the news had married a yonng man ot her own rank, and now they have gone down to Natchitoches to look after their assets. N nwsrArtc**. —A child beginning to road, becomes delighted with newspapers becauso it reads of names and things which are very familiar, and will progress accordingly. A newspaper in one year is worth a quarter’s schooling to a child, ami every father must consider that sub Manual information is connected with this advancement. The tnotlwr of a family should her seif be instructed, A mind occupied becomes fortified against the ills of lift', and is braced for an emergency. Chiklreu amused by reading or study arc of course considerate and most easily governed. How many thoughtless young men haee spent their earnings in a tavern er grog-shop who ought to have bccu reading. llow many parents who never spent twenty dollars for books or papers for their families would give thousands to reclaim a son or daughter wiio I rad ignorantly, or thoughtlcoaly, fallen into leinpta ; tion. -• • ♦ • •*■*- - - N boro SrrKKSTiTtox. —There is sn i old negro woman living in this city I by the name of Nancy who is firmly j believed, by all the negroes, to be a | witch.

A Grateful Editor. The editor of the Philadelphia Dis patch lias been made the happy recip ient of some interesting reading mat ter, and lie very properly expresses bis thanks thusly: We owe our thanks to Judge Kelly for the hi-t Patent office report. We already have sixteen hundred of these interesting volumes iu our little libra ry* but they have been read and re read so many times that we know every page of them by heart. This new volume came epportnnely and gratefully on Christmas morning, and that night we gathered our little family around the fire and read it through to them. The affected tale entitled ‘ Improvement in Monkey Wrenches,’ seemed to touch every heart, and when we catne to the eli, max of the little story about the ‘Re versible Pie-board-, 7 there was fiot a dry eye between the front dt?or and the stable. During the reading of the piteous narrative entitled ‘ Gum Washers for Carriage Axles,’ the whole family gave expression to boisterous emotion, and the hired girl was so much excited that she lost her presence of mind, and went around to her mother’s inadvertently with six pounds of butter and a ket tle full of flour, ami came home at midnight intoxicated. We can never sufficiently thank Mr. Kelly for inno cent enjoyment thus furnished us. The memory of that evening will lin ger in onr minds very much longer than that hired girl ever lingers when she lights on a lot of substance which she thinks will suit the constitution of her aged parents. V * The Wnoxo Bottle and Death. — Yesterday morning Richard Ran dolph, a colored waiter in the board ing house at the corner of Lexington and Charles streets, died from having taken corrosive sublimate in mistake for whisky. It appears that on Fri day last lie was engaged in putting the poison on tho bedsteads in tho bouse, and when he lmd finished placed the bottle containing it in an upper closet. During the day he had procured some whisky, which he placed in the same closet, and at night, before going to his home, lie went to the closet with the intention to lake a drink of the whisky, but got hold of the bottle of poison, which ho placed to his mouth and took two swa lows of the liquid be fore he discovered the mistake. As soon ns possible all the usual reme dies were administered, and he was partially relievd, but the dose was too much, and lie lingered until yes terday morning, when he died.—Bal timore Gazette. _ V W ■■■ <i. 4.

THE ALDIN EL AN ILLUSTRATED MONTHLY JOURNAL The Aldine. while issued with all the regu larity. has none of the temporary interest characteristic of ordinary periodicals. It is an elegant miscellany of pure, light, and graceful literature; ami a collection of pic tures, .the rarest specimens of artistic skill, in black and white. Although each succeeding number affords a fresh pleasure to its friends, the real value and beauty of the Aldiny will be most appreciated after it lias been bound up at the close of the year. The possessor of a complete volume cannot duplicate the quan tity of fine paper and engravings in any other shape or number of volumes for ten times its cost: and then there are the Chromes besides. . Notwithstanding the increase in the price of subscription last Fall, when the Aldine as sumed its present noble proportions and rep resentative character, the edition was more, than doubled during the past year —proving that the American public appreciate and will support a sincere effort in the cause of art. ’llie publishers are authorised to announce designs from many of the most eminent art ists of America. In addition, the Aldine will reproduce examples of the best foreign mas tens, selected with a view to the highest artis tic success and greatest general interest; avoid ing such as have become familiar, through photographs or copies of any kind. Every subscriber to the Aldine. who pays for a year in advance, will receive, without additional charge, a pair of beautiful oil eliro mos, after J. J. Hill, the eminent English painter.
