PARLEY, DUCK & CO, On the same evening the Middle Georgia Medical Society held a meeting in the Court-home, but with out transacting any important business, adjourned on account of the progress of the Commencement Ex ercises. Dr. D. B. Searcy, of Monroe county, is the President, and Dr. R. P. Wright, a young physician of eminence in his profession, of Forsyth, Secretary of the Society. This Society is composed of physicians from the counties of Bibb, Butts, Monroe, Pike, I’pson, Craw ford- The average membership is about fifty. We left impressed with the conviction that in ail essential respects Forsyth is one of the finest in Geor gia. The fall session of the Feiu-le College begins on the 18th of August next. It was our pleasure to spend four days in the city of Forsyth during the commencement exercises of the Monroe Female Colli ge the present week, and we cannot—would not—refrain from making tome state ments of a general nature aa to the result of our ob- s'.rvations while there. Arriving at Forsyth on Sunday evening, we discov ered that the “commencement” was the theme and topic upon which all talked fluently, exhibiting an enthusiasm on the subject of education quite unusual. This produced an anxiety on our part to ascertain whether the citizens generally were intelligent and refined, or whether the interest manifested was occasioned by a sudden awakeniDg of the miod on the importance of educating the youth of the country. Finding that the first was correct, that the people sp. prreiate properly the benefits to be derived from edu- —■ 1 cational institutions, we were powerfully and favorably WAIEBMELOSS—Since the Council hue repented the i iKtpr( . eaed with the community and gratified at being melon law.

The preparatoiy department of the rckool is under the immediate supervision of Mrs. Sue Lanier, who gave the beat exhibition of thorough proficiency among little children that has ever been the fortune of that college to show since ita establishment. A large portion of the success to which the college has attain ed is due to the utt.ring industry and *kill of Miss Mary Oalin, who is assistant to Professor Mooty in the literary and classic departments, and who is a young lady of a most practical and vigorous intellect, tnd has bec-n connected with the- institution for the better part of two years. Mias Oalin’* musical accomplish ments are extraordinary, as ail will testify who at tended the exercises. The Classic and Literary Departments arc under the i in mediate direction of President Mooty, cf whom too mnch cannot be raid. With an experience of nearly twenty years of successful teaching, be has proven himself worthy the confidence reposed in him by his numerous patrons in that section. He is an accom plished and refined gentleman. ; nd one of the bea* diacipUnaiians m the South. He ia the right man in the right place. He educates the lit art as Will as the mind, and parents would do well to place their chil dren under his care. The examination of the Junior Ciaas showed thor ough proficiency, especially in Li.tiu, Algebra and Geometry. The examination of the Seniors was high ly satisfactory.

There were in attendance at the last session more than one hundred students, representing about thirty counties in this State, South Carolina, Florida, and Indian Territory- Tue Alnmnia, which dates from 1854, the time of the organization, includes students from six different States. LOCATION. “ The Institution Is situated in Middle Georgia, on the railroad line connecting Macon with Atlanta. Ge ographically near the centre of tbe State, it is on an elevated ridge between the Ocmulgce and Fliut rivers, 25 miles above Macon, and 210 feet higher in altitude. With a genial and proverbially healthy climate, with a population of nearly 2,000 inhabitants, noted for in telligence and refinement, separated from the din and excitements of cities, at the same time reliev* d from social dearth incident to country and village life, For syth enjoys advantages well worth the consideration of parents and guardians. Its healthfulness, ita ac cessibility, its size, its natural, intellectual and moral advantages, all combine to render it, as a seat of learn ing, desirable and important.” BUILDINO AFP GROUNDS. “The College edifice is one cf the largest, most commodious and best ventilated school buildings iu the State. The site is about 250 yards from the depot, commanding au agreeable prospect in every direction. The situation is retired, and at the same time accessi ble. The campus, enclosing over seven acres, affords ample ground for exercise, and tbe college dome serves a fine purpose for astronomical observation. The building contains besides music rooms, various recitation rooms and chambers, an elegant chapel which has been lately refittrd and supplied with new and improved furniture.” The course of study, apart from the Academic De- partir ent, embraces a period of four years.

The building is of brick, neat and spacious, and tbe grounds fine. It is under the government of tbe Metboditt denomination, by whose liberality princi pally it was established. Tbe average attendance of boys and yonng men is seventy-five. Rev. T. G. Scott is the Principal, and R. G. Anderson Assistant. The Female College was inaugurated under tho aus pices of the Baptist denomination, but, under a recent arrangement, tbe control over it has been lodged with a board of trustees, composed both of members of different churches and non-professors. Neither one of the Colleges have, however, been subjected at any time to the inconvenience of sectarian regulations. Of her edu cational institutions and facilities, Forsyth may well be proud. CHURCHES. There are three churches in Forsyth, Methodist, Baptist and Preebytcrian. The Methodist is a new, neat aud spacious building, while tbe Presbyterian is also a very respectable building. The Baptists are now preparing to erect anew place of worship, and, we understand, have secured subscriptions in an amount almost sufficient to complete the work. The membership of each church is large, while almost everybody in Forsyth, whether members or not, at tend religious service. The Masonic Lodge, a large brick building is in a somewhat dilapidated condition at this time, one of tbe walls having fell in. This, Lowever, can soon be remoddled. The lodge here Is very strong. The courthouse is located in the center of the square, a very eligble situation, good building and very convenient to those disciples of Coke, Little ton and Blackstone, consisting of Col. A. D. Ham inond, Messrs. Stone, Cabaniss, Amo?, Turner and others, whose mission it is to assist courts and juries in the administrate n of law and justice—one or both —between man and mao. Forsyth enjoys a trade from a large section of coun tsy, aud the dealers generally drive heavy trade. There are two banking houses— that of Messrs. Lampkin L Bean and Pye and sou. Besides, there is also a purchase and loan association transacting business. Tbe late fire de stroyed a number of buildings, but will in the end prove a great benefit to (he city, for the reason that they are being rapidly replaced with aubatantial brick structures. In addition to tho Greer House, which ia receiving a good patronage, Messrs, Pye k Son are erecting another on the west aide of tbe square. There are in the city a number of besntiful residences, among them that of Captain Henry G, Bean and Wm. '• lampkin. Colonels A. D. Hammond sod Oeo. W. Adams, tbe Cakaniss homestead where tbe late diatln- Kui.ked and esteemed Judge Cabaniee lor a long time resided aud reared bis family, with many others. Tbe citizens are royal entertainers, proxerbial for their generosity and hospitality, and tbe "stran ger within their gates” receives perhaps more attention and kindnexs than he merits. Captain Henry G. Beau and his estimable lady are true representl. tlves of that genuine, practical ho.pit,niy that rendere tho visitor comfortable while there, and cauaes him very nearly to regret that the time arrivea when busi ness en gsgementa require him to depart. The Mon- roe Advertiser, published at this placs by Messrs. G. A. King. B. T. King, and W. D. Stone, Is far above tbe ordinary standard of weekly papers both u to typographical execution and news. Captain W. D. Stone, a prominent young lawyer and gentleman of abi lity, 1s the e itor. At tho office of this paper were assembled on Wednesday evening a number of newsyaper r«presentativee. Including Mr. P. Harrison of tho Christian Index, E. P. Speer of the Griffin Star, McMichael of the Thomaston Her* aid, who visited Forayth on a double relation; Turner alto of tbe Thomaston Herald, Dr. Blackburn of the Bamesville Patriot, Fleming of the Early County New*, and esvaral other*. These were furnished with vehicles by the genial Stone, and “shown around town/' much to the delight of the aforesaid quill* driver*. RECORDER’S COURT. “I mewsed how many a rose doth fall, And how many a violet pine on, Haws cruel fate denied ’em all Shirt boosems for to twine on. And off the cheek «ho damask kuawed, And as I mowsed I sot and chawed. The above is supposed to have been the ruminations of our reporter, as watching the caged birds of tbe calab :ose as they entered and fluttered their festive crinoline, he chewed the end of his pencil aud thought of the multitude ot sin now abounding in the land, and the man; soiled doves which every day come to judgment and go away filled with despair and curses. If cruel fate does deny them shirt bosoms to twine on. Old Ten and Costs fills the vacency by croquet, in which he furnishes all the tools. These were serious and sad reflections, and were leading the reporter along a gloomy corridor, when just at this juncture Old Virginia Bitters took his seat and opened and Jonsen, in pursuasive basso pro/undo, sung out the first name. Ed Pinckney, drnuk! Mr. Pinckney is a harness maker by trade, but accidently got over the traces little, to wet hi3 bronchitis with the extract of corn. Whether our harness maker, like Col. Macbeth, of tbe Scotch Fusileers, died with harness on bis back or not, wc are not informed, but he was dead drunk when found and made a note of. History gives no account of E. P., except that he can led borne a quart tickler of “eold pizen,” and got up a spree under his own roof- tree. He did not quarrel and b;at bis wile, Court suggested, but appeared to be much in love with his spouse, and for his seeming pcnitcncy he * ot off with a $10 fine. He goes out to thechsiu garg ft long days. Mr. S. A. Baker came in from the rural solitudes of Fayette county, to investigate the troth of the rumors about tbe presence of cholera in Atlauta, and became I convivial over the corroberation of tbe news that it was not here. He remained in the city over night, to make his Fajette county gal jealous, and was perigrin- ating the streets with a confident stride— “The moon was up, the stars were bright, And shone in the Heavens with their silvery light. But a fairer moon, or a brighter star, Than that shown in the heavens afar,” struck dazzlingly upon tbe optica of Baker. It was a gae-light. It was tbe first he had ever behc-ld. And he held on to the post to retain the fixedness of his gaze. The fixedness of his legs wae not so carefully watched, however, and he descended upon the earth as drunk as a decapitated chicken. The Court ex tracted ten dollars from bis purse. He gees back to Fayette at once. There’s never a day so sunny But a little cloud appears; There’s never a life so happy But has had its time of tears ; Yet the sun shines out tbe brighter When the stormy tempest clears. May be so; but Lizzie Steadbam can’t, at these pres ents, see through the cloud of trouble which now en velops her. She was brought up for knocking into fragments the knee-cap of her sou’s mother-in-law. Lizzie has a fond aud affectionate boy, who married not only his gal, but the whole of her family, aud they all put up with him. He gave his ma a pressing invita tion to make his house her home as long as she lived, and she was acting upon this invitation when the row with his mother-in-law came on. Lizzie fays the cld woman ordered her out of her own sou’s house, and before she could gel ont tbe other feathered in on 1 and was giving her “Hail Co’.umby,” when she, self-defense, bit several large beefsteaks out of her arm. A \ cry old negro testified that she patched and darned up tbe woimds as best she could, aud remark ed: “I’ll tell you, Jedgc, it was a powerful l ad bit.’* Tho long lecture which enBued resulted in a $30 fine, and Lizzie was passed back for repairs. Miss Jaue Gresham, proprietorsks of a redoubtable fortress on the triangular seat c-f war in Brooklyn neigborhood, was shocked beyond conception at tbe intelligence that she was wanted to answer to the charge of keeping a house of ill fame. She argued that the character of her house had been established by nearly four years of business, during which time one half the population of tho city could have tested its respectability. Jane’s defense, however, availed nothing, and she was forced to take furnished apart ments at the Bar y House for fifty days, or pay down those many slugs. “But wine will the best resolution destroy. By degrees he forgot his wife’s w arning, Though he said, with each glasi, 'B.l!, be careful, my boy, Aud—(hie) think of your bead in the morning.’ ” Wm. Dryer got dryer, ail at once, than the clerk of a lime kiln, aud was found ou the broad aud dusty- way that leads to inebriation. William was indeed in a state of physical and intellectual somnolence, aud having passed that crisis when the things of time were of interest to bis spiritual essence, he slept serenely on the pave. He was transferred to active duty for several days on the public streets. Frances Reed and Sarah Stubbs, (Sc-ir Faced Sally) were found together uuder peculiar circumstances, and without the benefit of clergy. The officer bad ob served them at the noon of night—when the moon shown down, scudding before him down the various avenues of Brooklyn, until Bead, who was first disap peared within a side door, and the “lively Searfaced Sarah” rocking under a steady breeze and steering for the Fame port— “And the tilting and llie rocking Up and down the splendid stocking. Gartered by a bluish ribbon, That he chanced to see she wore, Showed him—’twas a sight for weeping. That a pair of calves were creeping Out of place as she was sweeping, Like a stately queen betore: Calves that she hai lately purchased From a fancy dry goods store; Patent calves—aud not much more.” OwiDg to some irregularity in the testimony, they were discharged with a blessing. Carrie Watson, Lula Johnson and Polly Archer, all white, plead guilty to being inmates of a bod house, and were fined each $50 and costs. And here the Court look occasion to advance some very sensible and practical ideas towards the amelioration of this class of onr unfortunate fellow creatures. He is bonnd, however, to enforce the law on this point, and has no discretion. These psor unfortunates will have to work out their fines because they have not the means to pay them. There's never a garden growing, With roses in every plot; There's never a heart so hardened But it has one tender spot; We have only to prune the border. To find the forget-me-not. District Conference at Ilogitiixville. Hogansville, Ga., July 18. 1873. To the Editors Daily Herald: Our District Con ference convened last night, in tbe Presbyterian Church, which was kindly lendered by tho members of that Church. Tho opening sermon was preached by the Rev. W. J. Scott, of LaG range, and as usuai his discourse was opened replete with sound and practi cal advice to all. Bishop Pierce arrived this morning, and we anticipate hearing some fine sermons from him. Delegates came in yesterday by the car load, and by the buggy-full. More expected tc-day.

The officers of the Bornological Society are tearfully requested to call round and inspect for themselves. Accommodating.—We received a note from Colonol L. P.
