Tie weather reports for tte week end

an far as the Mississippi. At CoiumbnB,
Mississippi, there were five days of rain
daring the week, aggregating two inohe».
A- Memphis there was tight rainfall on
three days. At Mobile the same, with
a report of a good stand of ootton and
premature rumors about oaterplliar.

tho week
Eilfon & Co’* circular of May 8th
shows an adv m in cotton since 4th of
March of li i ■ -ad in cotton goods from
9 lCd. to 1 1 Id i.jper pound. The writer
says:
The future movements of the market
wdi depend entirely upon tbe course of
business in Manchester, and this will de
pend upon tbe extent to which the late
activity was speculative or otherwise.
Cotton is still strong, but it is not so
strong at 7<i. os it was a- 6i. or 5d. That
a very large proportion of tbe advance
which has taken place was justified by
tbe facts of the case, is undoubted, and
it would not be prudent for spinners to
operate apon tbe basis of any re-iction of
moment. The stocks of the raw mate
rial are eo email, the prospective imports
for the remainder of the season so limi
ted, and the margin between demand and
supply eo narrow, that the market will
be much more under the control of sellers
and speculators than fora long time past.
Tbe Better Times coming.
Several weeks ago the World, eaya tha 1
paper, published in connection with epe,
c:al despatches from ail tbe leading com
mercial centres of the United States a
number of important opinions from mer
chants end manufacturers, representing
all tho great branches of trade in this
city, as to tbe condition and outlook of
business in this country. The general
verdict thus arrived at was substantially
formulated in the words of Mr. Libby, ot
the great house of A. T. Stewart & Co.,
who declared that for the first time in
five years heeaw the indications of a real
revival of business confidence.
The example thus set by the World has
been followed by many journals of char
acter in almost every principal city and
ra many large towns of the United|States
It is with great satisfaction that upon a
careful collation of all these subsequent
reports we find in them abundant cor
roboration of tbe encouraging views sug
gested by our original review of tbe situ
ation. Partly as a consequence, no
dcubt, of this concentration o( light on
tbe state of tbe Country, and partly aB an
inevitable result of tbs returning pros
penty of the nation, tho prices of stocks,
bonds, produoe, cotton, leather and this
s spies have sensibly advanced ana
the volume of business bos steadily in-
erra-ed ever since the TFoHd b.-gsn this
good work.
That burost evidence of,a reviving
prosperity—sorivity in investments by
small capitalists—bas been fornlebedat
the various post-offices by tbe brisk de-
mana for email Government certificates.
The metropolitan hotels are doing a fine
business. There is an industrious inqui
ry after real estate not only in the city
but in tbe fcnmmcr quarters in tho coun
try. Naturally enough these favorable
symptoms in tbe solid world of business
have been attended by a speculative feel
ing in purely speculative quarters which
oool observers must carefully diecrimt-
aa>e from them, but ths tLe iu the vari
ous market!has cot been spasmodic or
feverish. The immediate {more is really
fall of promise for sotive and intelligent
men, aa it has cot been since 1878 be
fore.
Times in Murfreesboro, Tenn.
Murfreesboro, -Tennessee, is jast now
in great .exoitement, arising from the
discovery of a gang of inoeediaries, bur
glars, thieves and murderers, who have
been busy in the work of destruction and
robbery since last fall. This gang is
oompoeed principally of negroes, but
there are some whites connected with
them. Fifteen are cow nuder arrest,
and large quantities of plunder have
been found hi their possession. One of
the officers engaged in making these ar-
reBts was kil ed. Twelve oases of inoen-
dtansrn are mentioned as tbe result of
the operations of this gang sines Novem
ber last.
The indignation among tbo people is
almost incontrellabls, and the apprehen
sion of Lynch law was so great that
Governor Marks addressed a large assem
blage in Murfreesboro on Monday, urg
ing them to let tbe law takes its course.
He promised a special term of tbe ooart,
and a trial at as early a day as the law
permitted.
Appealing to ths people - to pledge
themselves to uphold the.Iaw.a small ma
jority of the crowd raised their hands in
favor of maintaining the safety of the
prisoners and a lawfol proseention. The
latest news is a special to the Nashville
American, dated at Murfreesboro at 2:30
Taesday evening. Tula, dispatch say sit
was not thought that|ioy attempt weald
be made to lynch the prisoners that
night. ■ i
A Bayonet Election.
Judge T. J. Mackey, a Circuit Judge
of Tenth Carolina, who held that position
originally under Republican appoint
ment, as a witness before the Wallace
Committee, drew yesterday a lively pic
ture of an election under fixed bayonets,
which it is the business of tbe eo-calltd
Republican party to maintain and per-
potuata in republican America. To do
this an extra session of Congrees has
been necessitated. In order to effect
this, among other and like objects, tbe
so-called Republican party are willing to
run tbe tick of the failure of necessary
appropriation bill?. They are ready to
stop supplies rather than give np mili
tary cpnirol of elections.
They set np the pretense that this
military domination is in the interest of
a fair election; but let the testimony of
Judge Mackey disclose the real purpose
of a practice so alien to all tho maxims
and usageB of free government, aince the
dawn of civilization. Here nineteen
U. 8. soldiere, under a lieutenant, were
able to terrorize ever the controlling pre
cinct of a county, and what is to hinder
a similar result everywhere?
A military squad, acting under orders
and displaying the insignia of the govern
ment, ia sufficient to stamp resistance or
opposition as seditions or insurrectionary;
and where courts and jaries are organized
In the interests of the party controlling
the government, the minority is defense
less. Such is the present Radical ar
rangement—with its power of controlling
elections by a Federal magistracy and a
Federal military responsible only to Fed-
etal Judges who are all Radicals, with
jaries wbieb, by law, are purged of every
man who will fail to convict. It is a big
engine of opposition which the Radical
brotherhood are laboring to fasten on the
country; and tf they thought that this
big engine would ever fall into the hsndB
of the Democracy, they would not be able
to sleep out of pure dread of being
crushed by it.
Flood Tide in Business.
The Boston Traveller, of Monday, says
every day’s experience and every day’s
news from other parts of the country
show that the floed tide* of business has
set in. A statement of the New York
Public of the gain last week over the cor
responding week of last year, fixes the
improvement in Boeton at 13.5 per cent,
which is below the general average ; but
the Traxtller says last week mere flannels
were sold in this one week than tbe total
amount for the six months previous, and
manufacturers are decliniug to fix price
ahead. This is tbe legitimate resnit ot a
settled conviction on tbe part of buBinees
men thioaghout tho country that the
flood is coming in strong. Another sig
nifieant fact is the starting up of tbe va-
nous iron concerns in Pennsylvania and
the West. This i?, perhaps, the moat
important industry west of the Alleghanv
Mountains, and its revival after so long s
depression is in the highest degree en
couraging.
Within the past three months there
have been several thousands of miles ol
new railroads surveyed, and within a*
rtry short time a large portion has been
put under contract. All these things are
indicative of a vast increase of labor em
ployment, and thus emigration to tbe
West from the ova'rcrowdtd localities of
the East becomes another and important
factor in the restoration of business
Parties who are in a position to be well in
formed are of opinion that there will be a
large excess of toreign immigration this
season, the news of a large prospects
demand for labor having already crossed.
Still another important feature ia tbe in
crease of sales of land grant?, both by
railroad corporations and government.
Tbe business tide is evidently rolling in
ward.
Free Quinine.
Two years ego when viewing the im
mease establishment in Philadelphia for
tbe manufacture of quinine, owned by
Messrs. Powers 4b Weigbtmaa, the writer
raised his voioe against this odious mo
nopoly, and time and again sinoe, has de
nounced tbe doty upon so indlspecsable
an article, as most no just end burdensome
Unfortunately, too, tbe grievance fall)
heaviest upon the impecunious inhabi
tants of the malarial Bantu, who are una
ble to esospe chills and fever by fleeing
to higher latitudes in tbe heats of Bum
mer.
Every one knowa that proparly admin
istered quinine is a specific for the cure ot
climate fever, and the commonest dic
tates of humanity therefore demand that
it should be placed withiS the xeach of
all. The House Committee stultified it
self, and was guilty of inflicting great
personal suffering end injury upon thou
sands of our citizens in its late refusal to en.
ttrtain the question of immediately abol
ishing the duty upon this precious drug.
Why, talk about establishing a National
Sanitary Commission, and imposing quar
antine regulations to keep off disease, when
sickness and death from fevers well nigh
as fatal os Yellow Jack, aro fostered at
home by an insane tax upon the only
remedy which can enre or prevent
them? In this quinine matter, we
have another illustration ot tbs beauties
of a high protective tariff. Here, one
bloated concern hoB pocketed millions at
tbe cost of any amount of human suffer
ing and death, and still the Government
rtf uses to remove the iniquitous import.
Free trade is the only true principle in
commeice, it matters not how private
persons, guilds or corporations are sffi-ot-
ed by it. It is the general consumer and
tbe greatest number who should be legiria-
■ed for. Atariff for revenue only, imposed
upon articles purely of luxury is ell that
ebould be exacted. This is true demo
cratic doctrine.

Is Catbolic Baptism Genuine.
This was one of the mooted question^
in the Northern Presbyterian General As
eembly, which held its session at Sarato
ga. It appears that an overture was pre
sented against recognizing Roman Cath
olic baptis-m, hut tho Committee on Bills
and Overtures re-affiimed the action_ of
the Assembly ot 1873, leaving it with the
pastor and the convert to decile whether
a re-baptism should be made. A special
to the Constitution says:
The report was attacked by Eider 0. D.
Drake and Rev. Dr. Prime and defended
by Rev. Dr. Patton, chairman of the
committee, who declared as ho had done
in his opening sermon, that the Rrman
Catholic is a branch cf tbe chnrch ot
Christ. He said that in the fight against
materialism, otherwise commnnism, and
other enemies of Christianity, the Roman
Oatbo'i's are one of the strongest
allies .hich the chnroh bos. The
Rev. Dr. Prime denounced the de
cision of the committee as emanating
from cloisters of theological seminarieo
He said that while claiming to hold snob
doctrines as had been stated by Dr. Pat
ton that the Catholics had apostacized
from Christianity. ReV. Dr. Gents then
offered a substitute “that this Assembly
is not prepared to deeide on the invalidity
of all Catholic baptism, but prefer to
leave it to churoh sessions and pastors."
The Rev. Dr. Fatcon gave a history of
the overtures of 1835 and 1875. Wm. E.
Dodge opposed any reeognition of the
Roman Cathulio as a Christian church.
The Rev. Dr. Prime moved the overture
of 1835.
Retolved, That it is the deliberate and
decided judgment of this Assembly that
the Roman Catholic Church haa apesta-
cited from the religion of onr Lord and
Saviour Jesus Christ, and therefore can
not be recognized as a Curislian Church.
Rev. Mr. Iiswis opposed the overture
moved by Dr. Prime, and upheld the
Catholio Church as Christian.
We submit that Christian charity is
the corner stone of all genuine religion.
Though a Protestant by conviction and
profession, far bs it from ns to assert
that onr Catholic friends aro all in dark
ness or error and oaleide ot the fold of
Cbrie’.
We believe -that millions of pious Oath-
olios will be saved, and their charbh at
this time is indeed a prominent bulwark
against infidelity, communism and the
groea immoralities of the age. Why go
ont of our way to attack them. An open
bible and preuoheA gospel is thqhijTy
remedy for . aU heresy. Persecution
failed to destroy the faith of tbe Christ
ian fathers even iu theterzibledays of the
inquisition which no reasonable Catholie
now justifies. And so. also, the. witch
burning bigots of Protestant New En
gland never side a convert to' their
bloody creedTjy the rigo sous measures
they reeorUdJrO. It should be remem
bered that the Protestant Church is but
the offehoot of the Chnrch of Romo. Let
ns, therefore, be charitable, and while
we uphold our own dootrinea be careful
how we proscribe and denounce the hon.
eet opinions of others.
There to danger for children in every med
icine which contains opium is any form and
we therefore ohsorfullv recommend Dr.
Bull’s Baby Syrup, whiott to warranted not
to oontaln opiates or anything injurious.

Interesting service* at me Sjn-
■■ague.
Yesterday tbe long anticipated servi-
ces of confirmation took place at the Syn
agogue. These confirmation services
occur during ths period known as the
Feast of Pentecost; which commemorates
the delivery of the law on Mount Sinai.
The rite of confirmation is one of the
most interesting ana solemn festivals of
the Judaio faith and for it preparations
are made many months before.
It records tbe religious majority of
the coufirmantB.. Stales, to be confirmed,
nut have reached tbe age of twelve yean
and six months, while the femals chil
dren ot the faith mast have attained to
.their thirteenth year.
Yesterday the services at the syna
gogue commenced at nine o’oloek. The
beautiful Temple was comfortably filled
.with people,among whom were quite a
number of Gentiles, who had assembled
to see the solemn ceremonials.
After the nsual morning servioes the
olses for confirmation, nine in nnmber.
were called before the altar. The yonng
ladies were dressed iu spotless white,
each bearing a bonqnet in hrr band. The
boys were in blaok suits entire, with
white gloves. The examination in tho
cateohiam was very creditable, and
showed that the elementary prinoiples of
the faith about to be prof6SBed bad been
thoroughly cndeietood. The examina
tion was conducted by tbe Rabbi. Dr*
Benson. The answers wero given with
easy confidence, whloh showed the thor
oughness of of the work of tbe precep
tor and soholsrs.
After a prayer, which was pronounced
ie a very appropriate manner by Mia?
Bertha Davidson, one of the confirmants,
tbe does marched into tbe leftside of the
pulpit with slow and deliberate tread
through to the right hand side and then
back to their seats, the organ playing soft
and slow music.
Master Henry Glass, one of the con
firmants, then with a slow step marched
into the pulpit, stood before the Rabbi,
and received his blessing. He then walked
to the ark, made a bow, and then from
stored desk delivered an address. It was
well spoken and was appropriate to ths
occasion.
Tbe importance of the rite about to bs
administered was appropriately referred
to.
The next member of tho cIbbs to came
forward was Miss Clemence Moses. The
same ceremony of pronouncing a bene-
diotion over tbe yenng confirmants was
observed with each one of them. Miss
Moses delivered a beautiful prayer m a
sweet and modest manner. Ia her hand
she bore a bouquet of tpotlees flowers.
Master Esau Cohen next delivored an
address in a pleasing manner, and, after
musio by tho choir, which follow: d each
jouthful speaker, Mister Martin Kahn
spoke a short and suitable prayer. Mies
Stllie Kahn beautifully spoke an address
ia a clear, sweet and di&tinot voice and
in very pretiy oloou'ionary style.
Master David Mose? delivered a prayer
appropriately and well spoken.'
Dr. Beneon delivered a short address
Tne class formed and marched into the
pulpit. Hero the conllrmauts joined
bands. The sight was very pretty, and
indetd impressive. The ark was opened,
tbo Torah taken ont, and enclosed in the
c-v?r, a beautiful blue one with gold
fringe, laid on th<? pulpit desk. The
recitation of tbe commandments, alterna
tely by tho entire class followed.
The holy rolls were replaced in the
ark and the confirmams went among
their parents and received their smiles
of approval and kirs?3 of congratulations.
Returning to the pnlpit Miss Josephine
Waxtlbium made a prayer beautifully
and sweetly. The class then recited the
thirteen cardinal points in the Hebrew
faith. Rrbbi Benson then prononncid
his priestly benediction on each. Master
Fairbtuh Pprinz delivered ths final pray
er, which »as an invocation for divine
blessing and guidance. The certificates
Of confirmation were presented by tbo
Hjibbiand the confirmation services were
eaded. .
Tbe ringing wasmnch admired. Baring
the morning a volantary, ths 125 psalm,
Ho who in God confides," Daniel’s
Prayer, "Hiar the voioa of my ory, ob,

‘Thoa art, ob, God, oar help." The

flowers. The exercises were quite lengthy,

end, and the oocasion one which impressed
all.

In the report ot the inquest over the
drowned youth, James Blyer, in Sunday’s
paper, it was stated that a sister of the
deceased said he had been beaten by "a
boss," and on one occasion was hung by
the neck for ten ruinates. Yesterday Mr.
James Renfroe, Superintendent of the
spinning room of E. & P. Mill No. 2,
Mis. Blyer and Miss Pauline Blyer, a
mother and eister of the deceased, called
at our office to explain. Mr. R. is "a
boss" and tbe one alluded to, it seCme.
He utterly denies ever having Biruck the
youth. Miss Pauline Blyer states that
tbrougb the grief and excitement and
saddennPB? of seeing the dead body that
she hardly knew what she was saying;
that she knew nothing of Mr. Renfroe’s
striking the yontb; that she repeated
what she heard and not that which was
of her own knowledge, and If she had
said in her distress what was reported
ehn withdrew it, and was convinced Mr.
R. bad never maltreated her brother.
The mother expressed herself the same
way, and fully exonerated Mr. R. Both
say he never did what the evidence
charged.
We may add that the striking of an op
erative by a superior, by the rules of the
factory, subjects him to a discharge.
Mrs. Blyer desired to have the impres
sion produced by the evidence that she
was a cruel mother removed. She had
never slapped him only as a loving par
ent should in correcting a child.
Both mother and sister believe the
boy’s mind was affected, and hence the
snicide,
We give the statement of tho parties*
and add that the report in t^p’paper
was a correct abstract of the evidence
given on the inquest. The reporter made
no mistake. The main witness, under
ths circamstinces, could readily have
made an anintentional error.—Sun-En

THE FI BE AIiABH,
Two Runaways ana as Man Seriously
lrjarad,
List night about a quarter to twelve
o’oloek, the ones of fire were beard on
Fourth street near Oglethorpe. They
were quite indUtinot from the city, but
continued to grow loader.
The watchman at the barracks sound,
ed tbe alarm and the department re
sponded. The cause of the alarm was to
be found *n the store of Mr- Mose Levy,
at the coiner of Fourth street and Ogle 1
thorpe.
A lamp exploded in the bar depart
ment ol the e8lablishment,and the flames
when discovered were ^burning the roef.
Mr. J. W. Trnesdell, foreman of No. 3>
and Fleming Coax arrived on tho eceue,
went out on the roof and extinguieed the
flames with a bucket of water.
Tbe firemen, however, had a livelier
time in another portion of the.city. The
horseB of No. 1, soon after leaving the
engine house, became unmanageable,
and the driver was either thrown or
jumped off. The maobine was hanled
along at a headlong speed down Third
street to the corner of Fine, where, on
making the turn, it was thrown violently
on its eide. After mnch tronble it was
righted, and found, as far as could bs
examined l*st night, but slightly injured
At the engine house of No. 3 a more
serious accident occurred. The machine
was just ready to Etart for the fire. Mr.
Bob Reynolds, who takes oare of the
horses for tbe company, and Mr. Sam
Westcott, the engineer, were holding the
heads of the hqrses; Mr. Vio Menard
was in the act of leaping into tho driver'
seat, when they started off.
Mr. Reynolds end Mr. Westcott held
bravely on. The horses struggled vio
lently to tbe middle of Mulberry street,
broke down a frame-work at that point
turned, and rearing and plunging baldly
got nearly to' the engine house,
when Mr. Roynolds was thrown
to the ground and tbe heavy
wheel of the of the engine passed over
bis right arm at the elbow. The limb is
badly crushed, it ia thought he was al
so injured in the back. Tbo wounded
man was taken up icsessible, carried
into the engine house, and Dr. Mettauer
eummonded to hia bedside.
Mr. Wescott bill cn until be was
violently dashed against the brick wall o*
the engtne house, when he relaxed his
bold, and the horses ran. They were
bronght down by aid of tbe brakes by
Mr. E. W. Hodges, at Mast9rson’s corner.
Mr. Reynolds was suffering intensely last
night. He is reoeivieg every attention
from the members ef hi3 company.

located in that delightful suburb. Others
will be placed either in private houses in
the city or at the hotels.
A SHADING BAZAAR.
Mr. B. L. Willingham and Mr. C. B.
Willingham have kindly. tendered the
nse of their spacionB warehouse cffice as
a reading room for the members of the
convention. The room will be filled
with comfortable chairs, supplied
with periodicals, paperB and other

dono for the pleasure of the delegatee.
Its proximity to the First Baptist church,
where the sessions of the body will be
held make it a most eligible plaoe fo r
the purpose.
Messrs. Cobb and Clancy have tender
ed their offices for committee room?.
' stusic.
The convention, modoally considered,
will certainly be a success. List even
ing a number of the very best voices of
the city in oouplianoe with tbe oall, met
Professor Barnwell, tbe chorister of the
Convention, at the Bsptist Ohurob, and a
thorough and pleasant rehearsal Was

Eably PsicHta.—The writer acknowl
edges the reception last night of a sample
of excellent peaches of the Beatrice va
riety, from Messrs. A. J. Buries & Co.,
proprietors of the Empire Nursery, near
Georgetown, Quitman county, Georgia*
These gentlemen have made shipments
of peaches to the North on the 18’.b, 19th.
20th, 23d and 28th instant.
They report their crop short two-thirds,
but will Bend to market eight hundred
bushels of choice merchantable fruit,
which will realize a goodly sum. This is
better than cotton planting.
the past three days has been ranging in
its greatest altitude about the threshold
of ninety. The air and soil are very dry
and the former has that smoky appear
ance which indioates drouth. Cola and
garden vegetables are beginning to suf
fer. It is, however, capital weather for
harvesting the small grains.
Sale af Jehjl postponed.
Our readers will see that the Bale of
ihe south end of Jekyl has been post
poned. This was necessary among other
reasons, to give parties desiring to pur
chase the property ample time to exam*
in* it.
Plan to Encourage Immicratlan.
We learn that Mr. 1’. J. Barney, of the
Albany Advertiser, will shortly go to the
North in the interest of a company which
haa been formed in Southwest Georgia
for the encouragement of immigration to
that portion of tbe State. Mr. Barney
hoe been requested by prominent capital
ists of the North to lay before them the
truo status of affairs io the South.
This he will proceed to do by lectures
before gatherings of influential citizens.
He will represent some 200,000 acres ol
land.
Wo know of no one who is better quail
lied for thia work than Mr. Barney.
Having been prominently connected with
the preES for years, he is thoroughly post
ed on the general condition of this section
ot the Uaion, and from a residence of
some time in the southwest portion of the
State, he is thoroughly conversant with
the advantages of that region. Wo wish
him much success in bis errand.
Pub ic Scbnols.
To-morrow the public schools of the
city will close their spring sessions for
the summer vacation. Allot the rooms,
twenty-seven in nnmber, will close with
appropriate exercises. Most of tbe rooms
will give exbicitions in rcaling and de
clamation, to which tbe parents ot the
scholars and friends of the schools will
bo invited.
Tbe High School will have s public
exhibition, which will be quit? interest
ing and will, as they always are, be large
ly attended. The members of this school
have made rapid advancement in their
elocntionary studies, and this exhibition
will be more than usually excellent.
Tho exeroiaes at the North Maoon
school will also be quite attractive, and
will tako pises in the forenoon.
At .the Sooth Macon sohool tbs exer
cises will begin at 10:30 o’aiock and end
at 12 o’etook. 'They will be of an inter

From a gentleman who hBs just re
tained from Cumberland Ieland we learn
that tho last party which went down are
having a fine time, although the pisca-
toral sport has not been so good tor the
past week. Several severe gales ob tho
coast tbe iatter pait of last week made
the fish atop biting and Ribing waa tem
porarily suspended. The pleasures o {
the woods were, however, enjoyed, and
deer hunts were of.frequent occurrence,
Mr. Holmes Johnson succeeded in killing
one of the antlered kings of the forest
and was accordingly- marked with the
blood of hia game. The steamer was
forced on two trips, on account of the
stress of weather, to pass the island with
out stopping, an occurrence which very
seldom happens. Those on the island
were all quite well.
Our Hawklnsville Guests.
The last of tbe exoursiooists from
HawkinBville returned to that city yes-
terday morning. They spoke before
their departure in glowing tsrmi of their
treatment in Maoon. The hop tendered
them at the Lanier Haase was carta inly
one ot the moat recherche and elegant af
fairs whioh has occurred this sea
son and was thoroughly enjoyable. To
no one are the excursionists more In
debted then to those liberal gentlemen,
Mr. J. H. Campbell and Mr. L. W. Bas-
dal, espeoitlly the latter, who inaugura
ted the idea of tbe hop, famished the
macio and extended other courtesies to
the visitors from tbe little river-side city,
His large hearted liberality will not be
soon forgotten.

The Chain Gun.
Yesterday afternoon Mr. W. B. Sapp,
Sheriff of Dodge county, arrived ia tfcg
city with a young colored man for the
Bibb courty chain gang. The prisoner
has been recently sentenced by Jadg*
Pats to ths chain gang of B.bb county,
as Dodge county has no chain gang and
tbo offense for which he » charged is less
than a felony. The prisoner was seourui
by a stout chain, the end of which was
locked around his neck.
To Cumberland.
Last evening a party of about twelve
persons left on the Macon and Bruts-
wick road for Cumbertond Island to
spend about two weeks. The number
now at Cumberland ia larger than it bu
been in two ^asG seasons, and it is aug.
mented weekly. Next week two parties
are expected to leave for the island, one
from Vineville on the 4th of June and
about tne 2nd the Seniors of Mercer ex.
pect to battle with the waves of jid

Old Point Contfarr.
Tho Micon Volunteers are thinking of
going on their summer excursion to Old
Point Comfort. The company at its last
meeting appointed a committee to look
into the subject of a summer excursion,
obtain rates and make such other inves
tigations as might be deemed necessary.
Some of the committee have suggested
Old Point Comfort as the place to go to,
The suggestion is very favorably re-
esived and a number of tbe company de
sire to make the trip, It would be a very
eojoyabla excursion.
Tire Barnes House.
While in Albany recently, we had the
pleasure ot being tbe gueit of tbe Barnes
House, and was fortunata in being under
the care of that experienced and thought-
fal proprietor, Mr. Barnes. Although
the house was crowded to ovetfiowlng,
with a calm and careful generahuip, the
proprietor commanded his corps of assis
tants, and made Btralght the difficult
places. To those going to Albany, we
can say for kind and attentive treatment,
the Barnes House o?nnot bs excelled, and
the table is supplied with the beat that the
matket osu afford.
Bcbavtor in enurcb.
We regret to learn of some disorderly
conduct -in one of the city churches on
last Sunday night. The matter began to
look serious for the effetdsrs, but the
churoh authorities were persuaded not to
prosecute it. The cases had been
b.*en laid before tbe municipal authorities,
but were subsequently withdrawn. The
conduct complained of arose, we are per
suaded, more from thoughtlessness than
any desire to show disrespect to tho
house of worship or tho minister officiat
ing.
