Improvements.—A new brick building for Mr. Friend, is being erected on 4th street., near Mulberry. Hate to New York. —In answer to many inquiries, we would state that a round trip tick et, via steamer, from Macon to New York, costs SBB, and are good until October Ist. Disturbance. —A row took place in Collins ville, one of the “ black suburbs ” of the city, last night, which will he examined into by the Mayor to morrow. Mayor’s Court. —His Honor W. A. Hurt Mayor presiding. Win. Poe, stealing, had his ease continued until to-morrow. The Barbecue. —The Macon & Western up ward train this morning, was crowded with a number of our citizens, en route to participate in the Barbecue at Mount Zion, to-day. They all seemed to anticipate a glorious time. Prove Your Property.—The police came across a lot of carpenters’ tools in Yineville this morning, which are supposed to have been stolen. Parties who have lost such things would do well to call at the barracks. Married. —Our senior editor was culled upon very soon this morning to officiate at the mar riage of Maj. J. E. Walls and Mrs. Collins, of this city, and Col. Elijah 8. Boynton and Miss Catherine Burr, of Griffin. We wish the quar tette much happiness and prosperity. Rain.—We were blessed with a shower of rain last evening. Though of short duration It was a great relief. The air had been, for days, surcharged with heat; the buildings, the pave ments, the earth—everything was heated al most beyond endurance, and the rain, in remo ving it, added vastly to the comfort of the night. The Weather.—The following is the re port of the thermometer and barometer as it vtood in J. IT. Zeilin & Co.’s drugstore: THERMOMETER. 8 o’clock a. m 85 deg. 12 o’clock m 87 deg. 8 o’clock p. m 88 deg. BAROMETER. 8 o’clock a. M 39.49 13 o’clock M 39.49 3 o’clock P. m 39.40 Audacious Burglary.—Last night, Boinc tinie after 11 o’clock, the chamber of Mrs. A. J ..Richmond, the artist, situated on the lirst floor of Mrs. O’Hanlon’s residence, corner First and Pine streets, was entered by some bold thief, and a number of valuables, money, etc., taken therefrom. Mrs. Richmond is of opinion that chloroform was administered to her. The following articles were taken among others: One heavy gold, gentleman’s watch, one small gold, lady’s watch, one lb stone dia mond ring, one plain gold ring, two dress pat terns of black and white silk, a lot of fine laces, a number of foreign coins, a silver mounted Smith & Wesson pistol—five shooter, a gold Masonic badge of the “ Eastern Star” degree, and *B<>o in cash, among which were 8 gold eagles. The thief entered the room by climbing a small tree in the. yard and getting through an open window. At this writing no trace of the thief has been discovered. Evidently, an organized band of thieves, experts in their infamous vocation, ex ists in our city, and we sincerely trust that the efforts which our police are making to unearth them, will be shortly successful. Merger University. —We have before us a circular of this institution of learning, con taining interesting and valuable information to parents who propose entering their sons for their collegiate career. The faculty of this University stands fully the peer of any in the United States. The Presi dent, Rev. A. J. Battle, D. !>., has a wide spread reputation for deep and extensive learn ing, and his associates are all worthy lieuten ants of such a leader. Thecuriculum of the Uni versity embraces the best features of the class ical and gymnastic systems. During the Fresh man and Sophomore terms, the student is well grounded in the classics, and Greek and Latin, the great foundation of a liberal education, are made the prominent studies of those terms. During the succeeding Junior and Senior terms, belles-lettres, or professional studies if the student so select, are brought prominently forward. The University buildings are in rapid course of erection, in a beautiful and healthful loca tion, and will soon be ready for occupation. Macon presents peculiar advantages for in stitution* of learning. Its climate is incoin parbale; its healthfulness is proverbial; it ha* a learned, wealthy and elegant population, in whose society the young arc improved and cul tivated. The temptations usual to a large city exist not among us, and there is nothing to 1 ead astray the young and unsuspecting. We believe that Mercer University has a great future before it, and that in the great hereafter its alumni spread throughout the length and breadth of the land will make it their boast that “ I was Mercerian.”’ Finis.— This morning Judge Cole sitting as | Chancellor, Issued the following order In the j ease oi Win. Anderson, the forger In (%iinlnr.--- Ordered by the Court: That i there bo turned over to W. P. Goodall, as re- j culver of the funds now before the. Court, ! $9,000 to pay any indebtedness that may be line by Win. Anderson, together with interest i and costs, and that, the residue be returned to ■ the said Anderson. This order was issued at the instance of the ! counsel on both sides of the question. The I habeas voipus case was then withdrawn. The Judge instructed Constable Smith to take Anderson to Chatham county and there deliver him to the proper authorities. In obedience to the order seven Central Pa eilic Railroad Bonds of SI,OOO each, at present quoted at two per cent premium, and sl*34*.' ’ in gold were turned over to Mr. Goodall, and two bonds of the same character as those men tinned above, given to Anderson, who at once transferred them to the keeping of a friend. Anderson, will go via the Central Railroad t night, to Savannah. Deputy United States Marshal, C. P. Freeman, was watching the case in behalf of the Bank, and if the prisoner had been discharged, would have at once arrested him. We learn from one of the stall of the First National Bank, that Seligmon A Cos., San Frau vit-eo, California, have telegraphed to this city, I that Anderson Imd victimized their house to the | extent of $20,000. An officer from California, ! left Washington last night, with a warrant for . Ander. on. Thus ends this strange case, as far i ns Macon is concerned at least. It has excited j much comment Be public opinion what it may, ! i.i regard lo In-guilt or innocence, yet one j thing, all will agree upon, viz: that our police daserve the greatest credit for their vigilance, an stern adherence to duty and resistance to temptation. The Bank Forgers, Holmes and Bennct that safely escaped from the toils of the law in Savannah, Columbus, Augusta, St. Louis and elsewhere, were promptly arrested in Macon, and the ease of this man Anderson is a similar one. Cotton States Life Insurance Cos. We j call the attention of our readers to-day to the j advertisement of the Cotton States Life Insu rance Company, of this city. This well known ami popular Company,organized and controlled in our midst by some of our best financiers, has, since its organization, met with well deserved success, and by its disbursements for death claims, lias relieved the pressing wants of nuin bers widows and orphans in Georgia and other Southern States. We heartily recommend it our friends and to the public. The Committee of Seventy.—The Com mittee of Seventy are requested by Mayor Hurt' to meet at the City Hall to-morrow evening at 4 o’clock. Thanks.—We extend our thanks to Chas. Ellis, Esq., for an invitation to attcud an lee Cream festival given to the Mission Baptist Sunday School, Bassett’s Hill. The feast will take place at the new Armory, next Saturday afternoon.

Anew Prima Donna recently appeared iu London. concerning whom hopes lire entcrtiiineil. Mndlle. Kminn Album Is the charmer's name, ller real name is La jenuesse, nmi she is a French Canadian. Anew tenor, one Signor Campanini, created an extraordinary impression on the night of his first appearance iu Lon don recently. Madame Pauline Lucca is considered to be the Patti's only rival. English critics affirm that Mndlle Nils son was considerably damaged in voice and manner while in this country. Louise Kellogg is announced to appear shoitly in Italian opera in England. The critics give favorable notices in advance, and enthusiasm rules the hope. The famous Wahchtel —the parable German tenore —was once, it is declared, a common waggoner. No wonder he can make his whip resound through the thea tre. The Italian Opera season iu Loudon for 1872 will be remembered for two signal failures —(Jelmina and l.e* Deux Journeei. Madlle Tietjcns’ presence and magnifi cent vocalization could not procure a sec ond appointment for Cherubini's Deux Joitmee Wliv is this thus!’ Joseph Jelferson, the only great Kip Van Winkle, lias safely passed through a painful operation on ids eyes, lie will re sume ids professional duties the coming winter. The tendency of public sendment to wards a preference for the legitimate drama is considered a sign ot better times. The prevalence of the so-called leg drama lias, it is thought, greatly retarded tlie growth of morals, and correspondingly increased the list of criminals throughout I lie country. There are no new actors of character, male or female, which is greatly deplored by theatre goers. Mad. ltistori recently appeared in trag edy—greater than ever--aocoiding to French critics. The Theatre Lyrique was burnt in tlie time of the commune. The Municipal Council of Paris has voted 85,000 francs towards its restoration. Don Fernando, father of the King of Portugal, has composed an opera on the story of Vasco da Gama, on which L'Africaine was founded. The princely composer is seventy years old, and has re cently sang at one of M. Thiers' recep tions at Versailles. The modern arrangement of the classical tragedy oi Medea, which Mr. W. G. Wills bus adapted to the English stage, and in which Miss Bateman acts the principal part, has been received with much critical and popular favor at the Lyceum Theatre, London. Stephen B. Fiske, the American journal ist and dramatic author, who has for some time past resided in London, lias made ar rangements with the principal French dra matic writers, that adapted versions of each of their new plays will be produced in Lon don simultaneously with their representa tion in Paris. The London Saturday Review, iu allu sion to the plays that were written in En gland in the times when Macready man aged at Covent Garden and Drury Lane employs language that is equally felici tous in force and description, in the fol lowing passage: "There were dramatic writers, both iu tragedy and comedy, whose productions, if not destined to rank as classics, were nevertheless works of se rious merit and intention, and entitled to consideration in a purely literary sense as works of feeling, of imagination, of in vention, or of style. Some of them had a noble and elevated aim in the presenta tion of human passions purified and ex alted by the conflict w ith human destiny, or of an idea of self-sacrificing heroism of virtue ; some gave to picturesque or ro mantic episodes of history the charm of poetic direction and dialogue ; some threw the genial and kindly game of the social moralist on the manners and foibles world around them ; some satirized the pleasant vices or ridiculed the fashionable follies of the age ; some, with a more un restrained and farcical humor caricatured the vulgarities of a class or the eccentric ities of some new variety of the human species ; while some were content to rep roduce the everlasting types of the come dy of fife. There was not among them all perhaps ii ghost of the tragic genius of the ’Lizabetlians, whom they were too prone to imitate, or a spark of the reck less vigor of the comic dramatists of the Restoration, or a smack of the animal spirits of Colman and his cotemporaries, or more than a faint suggestion of the fresh and happy animation and tenderness of Goldsmith, or of the dazziug brilliancy ofßheridian. But there was something of a literary sense and a literary purpose in their work, and in most cases there was a clear title to originality.” Gleanings from our Exchanges, Crop prospects iu Macon county arc very flattering. Fort Valley had a concert last night. Mr. Flem Graham, of Barnesville had three fingers of his left hand cut oIT by a club ax falling on them the other day. The editorial fraternity of the State are invited to attend the State Agricultural Convention to be held in Griffin, Au gust 13. The O'dinary of Chatham county issued marriage licenses during the past month to 8 whites and 32 blacks. The Columbus Suu says In this section crops continue to prom ise well. If rains do not continue too long magnificent crops will be made of both corn and cotton. As the same con dition of things is found in the Southwes tern States and Texas, farmers need not expect the high prices for cotton of which they have dreamed. In Georgia generally the prospect is fqy a heavy yield. The late heavy losses in Alabama the best au thorities appear to think will be far more than counterbalanced by the increased pro duction in the other States. A crop of three and a half to three and three quar ter millions is the estimate of those best posted. TREASURER'S NOTICE.
