Thomas Purse, of Savannah, is an nounced hy tclcgrn|ili lids morning, at the age of seventy years. Mr. Purse has been in feeble health for some time. His death is therefore not an unexpected event to his family und friends. For many year* Mr. Purse lias occupied a conspicuous place in the society, business and politics of Geor gia. He has been Chairman of the Dem ocratic Executive Committee, and Muyor of Savannah. He wus one of the builders of the Central Kail rood, and its first super intendent. The invention of the railroad time and train schedule first originated with him, und its vuluc has been estab lished by the universal use of it through oat the country in ruilroud circles, lie was for many years in the Bourd of Direc tors of the Central ltuilroud and Banking Company, and Vice President of the same, lie was an honest man, and a warm, true fricud. He has lived to a good old age, has fulfilled his life’s mission, und gone to a peaceful rest. Honor to his memory.

Anchors Wanted. —One of the most remarkable iliscovcries supposed to be made by modern science is the drifting of tho stars. Richard A. Proctor, secretary of the Koval Astronomical Society, claims the merit of lirst suggesting the possibility of, there being in fact no fixed stars; but Professor Huggins is said to have first de monstrated the fact that certain of the stars, notably Sirius,arewandering through space with almost incredible rapidity. The umlulatory light waves are the criteria qy which this approacli or recession is found, and the rate at w hich they strike tho eye of the observer gives the proof of Hie stars coming towards the earth or go from it. If the waves come in quicker acccession than from a luminous body at rest, the source of light, according to a well known law, is approaching ; if, on tho contrary, they come in slower succes sion than from a luminous body at rest, the source of light is receding. Not only does this stardrifl—ns Mr Proctor calls it —take place witn single stars, but whole groups, with rythmic motion, are circling among themselves, sometimes drifting si lently, swiftly, mysteriously, in a common direction; sometimes iutervolved iu a man ner at present unaccountable. oiiitiakv. John Iv. Davis, son of G. W. and Ann Davis, died November 18th, aged 22 years. I month and 16 days. This excellent young man met death bravely and joyfully. Everything con spired to render life attractive, and the earthly future loomed up before him full of hope and achievement. It was said of him that “lie had no enemies,” so courteoils and upright were his actions among his fellow-men. Up to his last illness he had made no profession of religion, but gave oft attention to sacrud tilings, and paid serious heed to religious instruction with earnestly increasing con viction. During his illness, he was enabled to concentrate his thoughts on the Redeemer of the world, and trusted for salvation in Christ alone. Of this, lie gave clear and convincing proof to his anxious and sor row Stricken friends, and affectionately commended them all to the mercy of God. As death approached, no tremor was experienced. Frequently he would break iorth in songs of praise, and welcomed with eager joy the near inheritance of Heaven Cut down iu the vigor of early man hood, it is yet true that “all is well” with him. since to progress in the safe realm of immortal glory, is far better than to suffer the ills and fears of earth. His sun has gone down while it is yet day, but not a siugle cloud darkened the horizon. 11.

IN addition to the usual inconvenience whieli has been suffered by the public from the prevalence of the horse disease, we now see a complete blockaded condition of onr railroads and the almost total suspension of all commer cial business in our city for mere lack of street transportation. This unusual tate of affairs suggests the want of some immediate relief, both to the railroads and the merchant. L : pon consultation, therefore, with the railroad au thorities and the different dray companies in the city, I hereby give notice to any and all per sons in the adjoining counties, that they are in vited and requested to bring in their ox-teams and assist us in the dray work of onr city for the next two or three ‘weeks, at the end ox which time, we hope to be able to resume the horse and mule labor. . ... Parties bringing their oxen to the city be allowed to use them in the drajage of an goods FREE OF LICENSE. It is believed that twenty to thirty teams could find const* 0 work here for several days, at good prices. decll tf W. A. HUFF, Msyor.
