This gives three mails a week, Monday, Wednesday and Friday to the Air Line Railroad, and one mail a week, on Wednesday', from Stone Mountain Plcfco.v llbxt.—A number of young men of our village went out one night last week to kill pigeons at the roost near town. None of them had much snecess, except Mr. Cole, who succeeded in wounding himself severely in the arm. The party had been shooting for some time and failing to kill any birds, Cole put in a heavy charge in order to kill them all at |once. He concluded to “make a Vpoon or spile a horn,” the result as, he “spilt the horn” —the gun BlOrsted, and a piece struck him on the arm, cutting it very severely lie got a furlough. Change or Name. —lt will be seen that we, this week, drop the Wbrmer name of our paper and Hlhristen it the .Herald. We have 1 tended from our first connexion luh the paper to change the name JP|ot that we are superstitious * |ut names, but simply because wis could not fancy “Atlas” as the name of a newspaper. It cov ered more ground than we pro posed to occupy in a country weekly. Ii is said that a ‘‘rose called by any other name will smell as sweet,'’ nevertheless; if left to out choice, we would prefer to call it a rose, than some names we could suggest. In taking “Atlas” down from our masthead we intend no disre spect to the mythological deity for whom it was named, if he did all the wonderful things related of him by the ancients, he is certainly entitled to the reaper t of mankind. Still we must be allowed to say that we do uot like his name. If asked for a reason we will simply reply in the language of au old poet: I do not like you, Dr. Fell, \ The reason why I cannot tell; Hut one thiug I kuow full well, 1 do slot like you, Dr. Fell! A negro by the name of Milt Bonds, was lodged in jail on the 6th instant, charged with attempt ing to break into the house of Mr. Cooper, for the purpose of com ting a rape or burglary, it is not known which. He had prised the door open nearly wide enough to effect an entrance, when he heard Mr. Cooper coining, who had bien to town that day, and run. He was afterwards arrested, and car ried before a committing court, and in default of five hundred do’lars bails was sent to jail.

He was for sev eral years President of Mercer Univer sity, and until a few months ago President of Georgetown College, Kentucky* Kissing in the Dark -Pious reader, did you ever—l desire not to be per sonal—but did you ever kiss a gill in a railroad tunnel! 1 never did, but il the truth must be told, I’ve wanted to awful bad. Not that 1 have any idea that gobbling a chaste salute w.thin the datk and narrow confines of a tunnel renders a kiss mote delicious than if stolen or takeu with full per mission anywhere else; but il is the novelty of the thing. It is the dark ness; the rank burglary; the calcula tion as to time: the sudden assault; the desperate defence; the cute agony ot the skirmish line of hair pins; the carrying of the outer works; the fierce struggle at the scrap; the glorious sweetness of the surrender; and then the condemnabie meanness afterward, of the victory. Then hurried repairs, and the impossible attempt to appear placid and all serene before the other passengers. I tell you there’s a short lifetime passed in the kissing of a girl in a tunnel. <i«> £3TA Brooklyn mother, abvised her daughter to oil her hair, and faintel flat away when that candid damsel replied; LOb, no, tna; it spoils h e gentlemens’ vest!” jgpßrown, the other day, while looking at the skeleton of a donkey made a very natural quo tation. “Ah, said he, “we are fearfully and wonderfully made.” Woman's Rights. —One who has long studied this absorbing subject now presehts to the women of our country the result of his investiga tions. He is happy to say that he has at last discovered “ Woman’s Best Friend.” It, is adapted especially, to those cases where the womb is disor dered, and will cure any irregularity of the menses.” Dr. J. Bradfield’s Fe male Regulator acts like a charm in “whites,” or in a sudden check of the ‘monthlyfcourses’ from cold,trouble of mmd, »r like causes, by restoring the discharge in every instance. So also in chronic cases its action is prompt and decisive, and save the constitu tion from countless evils and prema lure decay.
