Pondering over the misdemeanors, Drunks and fines, and pocket cleaners. And tho multifarious* doings That came up from police brewings, And beneath are all the showings For the dreary morning labor.” The mass meeting at Judge Hammond's was, like Cie ear’s faneral, a decided success in point of num bers, and the large Ethiopian delegation threw a ppe- per-and-saJt halo over the whole affair that wasn’t re moved till dinner time. The Secretary of the meeting tbusly jotted down the proceedings: Edward Bradford having, in the optic of his philan thropic thinking apparatus the suffering condition of the citizens of Atlanta from the dost and parched earth, sought to set the bolts of -Jupiter in motion by letting off a small park of pocket artillery in the direc tion of the dry air. His efforts bronght on the de sired shower, and they also bronght out a little over eight dollars from the recesses of his trowser’s pocket. Martha Wadkins, Jane Wesley and Louisa Foster, a boquet of sweet scented African tulips, became slightly disarranged, and wastod their fragrance in a disgraceful row about a small nigger fight. They were put iu tho work house flower pot, and there they bloom to-day. Frank Bradiy, a Newton county drinkist, came to the city to learn if it were really true that a Lethean stream had been discovered here, and if so, who ha d charge of the water works. He got tho information, but it cost him five dollars and an admonition to "Go West,” like the star of empire, for "Westward the star of empire took its way. Time’s first four acts already past; The fifth shall close tho drsma with the day Earth’s noblest empire is its last.” Sam Johnson is a married man, and Mrs. Johnson has her fall quota of relations—a mother included, What We Kiow About a Paper.

The Atlanta and Richmond Air- Line Railroad. This great work, which has been a subject of con stant solicitude and anxiety to the people of Atlanta for sixteen years, is now on the point of completion. We learn that there now remains only a fewdaya’ work to be done on two of tho bridges, and less than two miles of track to be laid, to allow the iron horBe to pass from Charlotte to this city, and which will take place within two weeks. No enterprise ever undertaken has ever promised ) more real benefits, if so many, to Georgia, and espe cially to Atlanta, as this. Wo hope and trust, there- 1 fore, that the proper steps will soon be taken, on tho part of the cit zens aud the authorities of At- j lanta, to give a hearty welcome to citizens along I the line of the great route from Richmond to j this city, and to the men whose entcrpiise and capital ! have accomplished the great result.

On yesterday a Herald reporter called on tho Mayor and several Water Commissioners, for the purpose of obtaining some news concerning the erection of water works, as there bad been no official action by either the Board or Council, he could not get any authentic information, but he became cognizant of the fact that the lines were now being surveyed by Mr. Grant, who would be able to submit hia report in a few days, and that the Holly system was decidedly the most popular with them, sad that that plan would most probably be adopted. They all declared with one votee that they were in favor of water works, and expressed them selves ©i being desirous of their speedy erection. From the conversations he has had, onr reporter feels safe in promising you a favorable report in a few days, sod asserting that the work will be commenced in less than two months, Cold Water Templar*. AHXIVRRSaRT OF WEJfONA TEMPLE— ARIiAN.iF.VFSTs FOR A GRAND CELEBRATION. L rom the indefatigable Thrower, the head and front oi the temperance movement in this section, and our young friend, Alexander, Chairman of the C< mmittee of Arrangements, we learn the following facta in rof- erencs to the grand annhe-sary of the Cold Water Templars, which takes place in this city on the 27th instant: There will be a contest for thre«* prizes to to giv_*n for the first, second and third beat declamations, to be delivered at the anniversary of Wencna T. mple; rep resentatives to be choeen, one from each Temple lhat may enter the list. The speakers not to be less than eight nor over eighteen years of age. and to speak on some subject connected with temperance. The time al owed for each speaker will be fifteen minutes. PRIZES. First Prise—A flue banner, costing $50. Second Prize—A set of fourteen pieces of officers’ regalia, costing $25. Third Prize—A fine superintendent's icgalia, costing $15. All the speeches must be original, but may be pre pared by the speakers or their friends. Although the reports are not required to be in until the 10th of Au- gsst, the following Temples have already reported: Augusta, Washington No. 8, Master Benjamin M. Piequet, aged 12 ysars, subject.

Owen Smith Mas owen Martha WadKius an apology for fra.ling her child, and, refusing to pay, she brought him up, but tho testimony only mulcted Martha in costs, for revengeful prosecution, and Owen goes eft' owen the Court nothing. Patrick Alman is an honest-lookiug colored black smith, who is pretty well to do in this worlu’g goods. His wife had gouc to visit her mother, in the country, and l’at was left at home. Besides being Alman, he was all eyes and ears at night, watching his effects. He had to do the watching for her and him, too. While he was eating supper some one threw a rock against hia house, an.I, without further to do, he raised up and went for the offender, heeing a negro whom he supposed did the throwing, he lit over the fence and gave him a " butt ” in the region of the diaphragan which unsettled that nigger’s supper. For this Pat was arrested and fined the costs. Mr. Gauchey wis prized out of the gutter by the Board of Health to make room for a load of lime. He had started to the Centennial Convention at Philadel phia, but concluded to lay down his platform here, and was in the act of composing his reception speechs when the workmen disturbed his meditations. The Conrt labelkd him "drunk,” and ordered him to the Barrycnial Dispensary to be rubbed down with a brick till there was a noticeable change for the soberer He begged them to— "Away with me now o’er the hill and the valley, Afar from the city to night will I roam, To the spot round which memories ever will rally, To the spot that I call vet my "Homo, my sweet Homo.’’ He was invited to make himself at home at the City Restaurant for a week, at least. William Webster, a descendant of Daniel, (so Wil liams’ father, Robert, says), was also afflicted with the same disease. The guard found Bill kneeling to a bar ber pole under the impression that it was an image of the virgin, and he was dragged before Padre Ham mond’s confessions where ho made a clean breast and a clean pocket of it, amounting to five dollars and costs, aud went home to explain the loss of his money to his father— "And so our best endeavor lags. The "tee’d” alone are heedtul— Oar dear, dear ‘dads’ are only nags, Quite alow without the needful! In vain we tempt them with a ‘churn,’ Or eheerfally to work go— Such arguments ain't worth ad— ‘Money makes the mare go.’ ’’ Frances Reed (scar-faced Fanny) and another pearl cf great price, from the coast of the Willingham Build ing, were np for being prorano and disorderly on Sat urday night. FanDy had her witnesses, and the city had " horn," and they didn't near agree in their state ments. Fanny’s friends stood rquare up to her ing innocent of the charge, while Jousen’s friends were equally as stubborn. The case wii permitted to stand over until this morning, when more witnesso will appear. Fanny and her retinne retired, and her parting injunction to them was: " Never prove false to a friend, In love and in friendship be true; Never prove false to a friend. So long as he’s faithful to you. He may be dishonest—a knave In other’s opinions, but then To you he is generous and kind And one of the noblest of men.” Several boys were up in the third story of building on Marietta street, and, in fooling around, knocked off a granite window sill weighing about hundred pounds, which struck the head of a negro who was passing, and ho had them arrested. He said ho was willing to let the boys have fan, but when they jammed a jemmen’s hat over his eyes and spoiled it in that way, the law must take its course. The Court adjourned to consult over the matter at chambers. to the children anil young people. At 11 o’clock a. m., the missionary sermon was preached by Rev. Mr. Ryals, of Acworth, to an im mense congregation. His discourse was replete with logic and eloquence, and Attention. Previous to tho sermon, the Moderator, in an elo quent and feeling manner, paid a glowing tribute to the late Rev. W. E. Mansfield, who died since the last meeting of the association. At that time the since de ceased divine was selected to preach the missionary sermon, but “ death, that loves a shining mark,” re moved him from the stage of action—from this world of strife—and hence the duty of preaching the sermon devolved on Rev. Mr. Ryals, his alternate. Tne words of eulogy which fell from the speaker’s lips met a hearty response from the auditory, many of whom were moved to tears. Rev. H. A. Williams of Augusta, welPkncwn to the Baptists of North Georgia, preached at three o’clock in the afternoon, and during his whole discourse en chained the solemn attention of his hearers. At night the Rev, Dr. Dean preached a sermon, which for ear nestness of manner, grace of diction and forcible and powerful application to the congregation, is seldom surpassed. The session of the Association closed yesterday, bnt in consequence of the great and dtep interest manifested by the unconverted, the meeting will be protracted through the week for their benefit.

A Cow in an Ale House. SHF. BECOMES HOODWINKED BY AN EMPTY BARREL AND FALLS THROUGH A FRONT WINDOW. About 12 o’clock Sunday nigbt, as officers Parker and Mays were seated on the corner contemplating the beauties of the silver moon aud listening to the merry chorus of Katydids, they were startled nearly out of their wits by a loud crash and thundering r.oiso^| Hunter street, between Broad and Whitehall. Gazing at each other steadily in the eve for a minute, they made for the place with cocked pistols and batons flourishing. When they arrived in the neighborhood of Prowznitzer’s ale bottliDg establishment on Hunter street, their emotions were not at all quieted by Lear* ing the most terrible noises and floundering! around in tne building and a rattle of broken ale bottles, which were tumbling on the floor and bursting, and for all the world, reminding them of a miniature skir mish of battle. Tho excitement produced was intense. The idea flashed across the minds of the police that a horde of burglars and assassins had made a raid upon the offensive Prowznitzer, and were firing and murdering his entire household and demolishing things gener ally. These faithful guardians of the night didn’t permit grass to grow aud thrive under their official feet, but after a hasty council of war, it was decided to extend their lincB and surround the rascals. But a moments reflection convinced these two that in "union there is strength,” if nothing else—decided to attack in body, and if either fell, the other would perhaps be spared to "carry the news to Susan.” Acting upon this latter resolution, with a yc!l and a whoop, they charged up to the door aud looked in. By the flicker ing light of a stray moonbeam, thoy discovered an old cow with an empty barrel over her Load,making a vain attempt to get rid of her encumbrance, and in doing this she was backing and flourishing the barrel in all directious, and knocking things around promiscuously. It sceim that the barrel, containing some garbage had been left cn the sidewalk, and the cow, in trying to get to it had got licr horn* fastened so as to carry the barrel with her, and in backing she fell through a glass window into the establishment, which caused the ter rible crash the officers beard at first. By an extraordinary coup d’etat they succeeded in getting her to "back out'‘of the scrape, and it course of an boor bad things quiet. This, onr City Fathers will so«. Is another warning about loose cattle. Two vigilant policemen unncces- eariiy, if not seriously freigbtened, an enterprising ale bottler damaged, for which bo should sue the Coun cil, aud some poor woman’s cow hurt and frightened, and the entire neightx>rhood aroused. When will Al derman Morris' idea of being decent" strike In the other members of Council ? An Old Coin.—Mr. L. H. Alexander has in his po«- sion a silver coin which was presented to him by Miss Amelia \ on Hoefiloley. it dates as far ba?k as 1364, and is about tho size of s Mexican dollar, and worth! we suppose, about fifty cents. The lettering and hiero glyphics are so marly worn out that nothlnf.oan be made of it put tho date. It mas presented to Mr. Alexander, be says, as a memento of bis capabilities for riding fast horses: but how that comes in, ws can- not understand. A Drunken Policeman.—We have on oar table a communication signed "Joatice,” in which he as serta that he was the involuntary witness of • seana which tt once disgusted and saddened him. It was a drunken policeman in front of the National Hotel. Ha says the officer was ao drunk that he had to be taken up stairs by a friend, and pnt to bed. Concord graphs, if possible, are nicer than any Mr. Norcrois has yet had for salt. tion. Let Atlanta do herself honor on the great oc sion. Wo suggest that the first action be takeD by the Chamber of Commerca. Those who compose this organization are tlio men who are the most intimately connected with the railroads. Next let a meeting of the citizens be called. And lastly, let the Mayor and Council come up to cooperate ami confirm all proper action, and assist iu invitiDg and receiving visitors, etc. i'ersonul Intelligence.

Justice Munday was the only Magistrate who, in the face of the oppressive heat yesterday, had the courage to investigate a case of a criminal nature. It was his good fortune to eDjoy the pleasure of deciding upon the merits of that contest over the disputed right of possession to a pig, which was first heard and decided by Justice Butt, not long since. The plaintiff in pro curing warrants gave SDd used different names, but it was developed during tbe last trial that the parties and action wero the tame, and the matter properly resadju- dicala. The following extract from the affidavit of the colored woman who sued out tho warrant, will serve to show the true character of the subject matter of tbe litigation: "Personally appeared before me Savannah Iteese, who being duly sworn deposes and says, that a small black pig, with white spots and tail cat off, worth two dollars, has been taken, enticed or carried away, either by fraud, violence or seduction, from the possession of the deponent, and that said pig has disappeared without her consent, and she believes has been taken possession of by Catherine Lambert, under some pre tended claim; and deponent further swears that she bona^flde claims the right to the possession of said Pig-” A warrant was issued for the arrest of the defend ant, who is a white woman, and the evidence pro and con heard, when Judge Munday decided that the de fendant was clearly entitled to the pig and accordingly awarded it to her. Whatever else may be said of the negro woman she certainly had the ingenuity to ob tain the decision of two courts of concurrent jurisdic tion on her complaint. There are two records of this important judgment and ntill the Justices are not en tirely happy. Wiitcrmrlonn unit Hie City Government. The City Council has ever walked with tender feet over the melon and fruit questions, both in passing prohibitory laws and afterwards in repealing tho same enactments.^They haven’t felt exactly right about it wasn’t real certain if they did right in either cas Petitions and counter-petitions had rather got their ideas mixed as to the sanitary propriety of eating melons, while their inordinate fondness for watermel ons plead loudly on the other side. So, to show to the people that they wero not afraid to eat melons, and that there was- no possible danger in a perfect gorge, at an informal meeting a committee wai pointed to test the matter. It was necessary that the men of nerve and good digestive apparatus composing the city government should be detailed to make tho exporiment, and cx-Aldcrman Fowler having sented to furnish the melsoos (he raises them,) the squad, consisting of Aldermen Brothertoo, Young. Marshal Thomas, Deputy Marshal Jcmen, Frank Ryan, Clerk of Council, Lieutenant Bomar, and officer Bntler, together with Colonel Latham (he being cop- per bottom also,) went out on Sunday evening to Fowler’s to give the melon question a test. That gen. tleman had heard of the proposed visit, and was pre pared with a huge pile of melons, which had been cooling all day in the well. Without any ceremony or comment this "forlorn hope,” wlth.attenuated stomachs and sad faces, pro ceeded to investigate. With eo.’emn stillness and sound, savlDg the munching and crushing of the pulpy fruit, this devoted party investigated for some time. When they could hold no more they each cast a tive glance at one another and began to examine the effects. Marshal Thomas^ hail swollen to the size of a first class Alderman; the water was running out of Young’seyc; Frank Ryan was swelled as stiff as a dead porker; Jonsen, went rather slow, and it didn’t tell on him; while Bomar and Butler looked like grass-fed <-olts. Alderman Brotherton couldn’t swell any longer in the waist; but he puffed up on the shoulders. Col. Latham was used to them, (he lives in an adjacent lot to the patch, and has been sampling them off and cn all ths season.) The Investigators then waited for the "man with the Black Valise,” bat as he didn’t come, they returned to town and will make a report of their investigation at the next meeting of tho Board of Health. tt' The great rush for grapes at the Norcross Depot, next to Phillips Crew’s, is a guarantee that they are fine, rich and In scions. * Runaway.—On last 8nmlay two horses, attached to » buggy driven by Messrs Fletcher and Alexander, be came startled£at something in tho neighborhood of Trinity Church, on Whitehall street, and commenced running. The occnpanta of the buggy, thinking more of their pen ona 1 safety than what damage might be done a hired turnout, leaped from the vohicle and allowed the frightened horses to pursue their own course. The team came dashing down Whitehall at a fearful rate until they came In collision with a street car, in Iront of J. W. Burke’s. The collision everlaat- ly salavated the two Dont wheels and freed the horsea from the remnants of tbe buggy. Tne horses are now boarding at Dr. Fawn’s Veterinary stable, and tbe boggy is in the hands of some carriage doctor for repairs. A Boy Company. CLKBURNK GUARDS ORGANIZED LASTNMIir.

A LIVE ’GAITOR IN THE ATLANTA HEWERS. The denizens of the neighborhood of tho corner of Mitchell and Loyd streets have for some time past keen annoyed by tbe ravages of a real LIVE ALLIGATOR that inhabits the sewers in that region. The sewers lire large, and contain water. Tho locality of the sewers was once the bed of a creek which flowed quietly through the valley located there in the early days of Atlanta, or before there was an Atlanta, and w’hen babbling brooks were common in tho woodland which has been since traueiormed into a beautiful city. THE ALLIGATOR is supposed to be one of those that Mr. Crittenden had iu the pool at the Kimball House some two years ago— one of which deserted the placid waters of the pool to search out a natural stream, in which he preferred to live and grow to be a huge moneter, and terrify the inhabitants of a peaceable city. It is 4aid that many chickens have been captured by this hungry alligator; and the citizens of the vicinity are fearful that to satiate his voracious appetite he will become more venturesome, Cotton dull, uoiniual and unsettled; no reliable quotations; net receipts 417 bales; exports coastwise 481; to continent 390; sales 100; stock 3,967.

A correspondent of tbe New York Herald predicts that Cape May “ will be tbe great cosmopolitan watering-place of tbe country in three years.” Tbe Philadelphia “ TurnverieD,’' aceom- jxinied by a cornet baud, have been passing a few days in Scranton. They came home yes terday. “ Hooray, old Porpoise, why don’t you plunge in now, and make tbe tide rise ? ” is tbe remark of a gamin at tbe sea-side (pic tured in tbe current Harper’s Weekly), to an old gentleman of goodly size. Yon may crowd as much as possible iu a mi- j 25,74oreAch haring croscopic band upon tbe blank side of a pos- .. . . tal card, but let no word transgress the op posite side, or else full letter postage must be forthcoming. The Postmaster General has so decided. A large number of Philadelphia Odd Fel lows, accompanied by lodges of the different town8 along tbe line of tbe North Pennsylva nia Railroad, passed Tuesday at Easton. They were entertained by tbe several lodges of that place. “After Dinner” asks, with reason, “What have dogs ever done that they should bo asso ciated with a series of disagreeable days that tries human nature at every pore?” It adds that tbe association “ may be the reason that dogs get mad.” Hafix, that charming Persian poet, says iu bis last novel—published a thousand years, more or less, ago—“Every man has in his heart a chaplet of eggs, of which each con tains a love; in order to hatch one of these c-ggs, is required only the glance of a woman!” Very Oriental sentiment, this. A special dispatch from Washington to New York says advices have been received there that a dangerous operation is about to be per formed upon Vice President Wilson, and if his strength fails under it his physicians think it doubtful if he will live until the opening of Congress. Berryer, of the French Corps Legislatif, used to drink champagne while speaking, and a Republican once cried sarcastically to him when he seemed puzzling for a word, “Drink, that will give you wit.” Berryer drank, and exclaimed, “I wonld to heaven your party had only to drink to get wit; you would be an amusing lot by this time.” Tho Shelbyvillo (Tenn.) Commercial, some weeks siuce, announced that the wife of Mr. Joseph Hastings, of that town, had given birth to triplets. Iu the same journal it is now stated that Mr. Joseph Hastings has “severed tho jugular vein of his neck (sic) from which ho soon expired.” Under tbe cir cumstances it is rather surprising that Mr. Joseph Hastings did not “ Sever the jugular vein of his neck ” sooner. Rev. Bernard Keunan, the beloved Catho lic clergyman at Lancansior, in Peon., is U5 years old, and preserves his faculties wonder fully. Ho can relate tho events and tell yon of the men who figured seventy years ago, and his memory ot the old times in Lancas ter is wonderfully correct. Hon. Charles R. Buckalew was in Pottsvillo on Tuesday on a business visit. The report er of tho Standard naively says: “It was a very difficult matter to gain a conversation with him, as our reporter was looking for him -from the time he orrived to obtain an inter view. He appeared toknv>w our obiect, as he kept himself well out of tho way.” Macaulay had a taste for ballad literature, and one day he bought a quantity of songs lrom a street singer. On his way home he was astonished, on suddenly stopping, to fiud himself surrounded by a company of small boys. “Now, then,” said he, “what is it!” “Well, that i* a good ’uu, after we’vo a como all this way!” “But what are you waiting for?” Waiting for? Why, to hear you sing, to be sure.” Every one who has beon iu Washington and attendeded tho sittings of the House of Rep resentatives has seen, if they have not heard, Dr. Mohaffey, the genial and accomplished reading clerk of the House. Walking down the Avenue one morning, on his way to tbe Capitol; he encountered a bevy of young la dies, to whom he paid his respects in passing. When he had gone by, one of tho ladies, to whom he was a stranger, said, “Who was that?” “Why, don’t you know? That's Dr. Mehaffoy. He explains the bills to the mcm- Orphans' Home & Free School.
