Medical Mistakes.—It took the faculty about a
1 years to discover that the best way to euro
> was not to render tho patient too weak to
ntwd with it. Within the last twenty years, how-
p’ er, the whole system of medical practice has been
»ged for the better. In diseases or complaints
1 by excessive beat, for instance, tho doctors
> longer recommend the reduction of the invalid's
t by prostrating modicines. The vast suo-
which has attended tho use of Hostetter'a
Stomach Bitten as a remedy for debility, has given
•van tho most prejudiced members of the old school
> insight into the only true and rational theory of
Cantharidee, calomel, and overpowering
*ei of opium, aro now among the obsolete nos-
■ ef another age. The lancet, once as much
h ® legitimate weapon of the physician as the sword
|^of the soldier, is seldom drawn from ita case.
■ Principle of life is no longer drained from the
> by the quart, and wator gruel for tho strength-
i invalid has ceased to be considered an appro
ve diet Vigor U the motto of the rational mcm-
■ of the profession, and they understand, at
at, the value of a sterling vegetable tonic. So,
. with tho people at large; and without consul t-
c f» medical men at all, they have adopted the bit-
* a household remedy, thereby economising
) cash and health.
Noto the fact, that Hostetter'a Stomach Bitters is
1 in bottles only, never in bulk, and that the
s springing up in various parts of the coun-
J< and sometimoe otferod as substitutes for tho
t national specific, are all utterly worthless.

Bananas.—S. T. <fc B. P. Walker received
yesterday among a lot of bananas a single bunch

Rejected.—We have a communication on

Fight with Knives.—Wo aro informed that
twonegro men, named respectively Henry Oliver
and Luke McCullum, got to fighting with pocket
knives on Thursday last at Midway church, in
the western part of this county, in which McCnl.
lem was dangerously cut. Oliver ran away soon
after tho fight and has not yet been arrested.

this city have received two new boats from New

Both are very light and trim, and the club is
greatly pleased with them. Tho cedar boat has
been launched and manned, and tho club will
now go into regular practice for tho races at the
State Fair.
Vicksburg and Brunswick Railroad.—This
road is now in running order for thirteen miles
ont from Enfaula, in the direction of Clayton,

made the first trip out over the road, and in tho
exuberance of his feelings he gets off tho fol
lowing:
“We see tho bluehilla ri-ing,

And equal to the lightning’s flash
Our iron horse does sweep."
After that ho is permitted to seek ropose and
retirement for one week.

The Printers’ Festival.—A severe headacho
prevented us from attending the printers' fes'
tival on Thursday night at the Armory Building,
and hence we aro not prepared to speak of it as
an eye-witness, but if the half wo hear of it be
true, it was one of the most pleasant and en
joyable reunions tho disciples of Faust in Macon
ever participated in. It was understood to be
a watermelon party, but it proved to bo a splen
did banquet, attended by a host of pretty girls
and many invited guests, who joined the prin
ters in a merry danco during tho evening and
oontribntod much hilarity and fun for tho oc
casion. We much regret that it was hardly pos
sible for us to attend, much less than to enjoy
ourself.
Street Railboad.—We understand that the
work on this important cily improvement will
commence next week. The cross-tics are now
being sawed out, and will be furnished as fast
as tho road is gTadcd. Tho whole line, so far as
is at present proposed, will be completed, it is
thought, by tho 20th of October. The portion
of the lino which will be completed first, will
run to the Fair Grounds, and wo are glad to
know that such is the fact, for it will be a great
convenience to hundreds of citizens who would
like to visit the grounds every afternoon if they
bad an easy and cheap conveyance. Posh tho
work, gentlemen, with all possible speed.
Trout Hill Debating Society.—A number
of young gentlemen residing in the Southern
portion of tho city, have recently organized a
debating society, and hold their meetings every
Wednesday night in Troup Hill Baptist Mission
School OhapeL The officers of the society are:
J. D. Sullivan, President; Eobt. Reynolds, Se
cretary, and T. R. Sullivan, Treasurer. Thero
was a full attendance of the members of the So
ciety on Wednesday night last, and several of
the young speakers acquitted themselves credit
ably. It is in such societies as this that tho
genius of oratory in tho young finds scope for
development, and it is here that tho mind of
youth first begins to reason and reflect inde
pendently. We hope the young men will pre
serve their organization and prosecute with zeal
the objects and aims of tho Society.

Thursday afternoon at the Pacific and Rocky
Mountain stations, and the area of low barome
ter which was yesterday advancing upon Minne

brisk westerly winds from Michigan to New

coast. Tho cyclone which was Thursday after
noon prevailing in Florida, after moving north
westward is now taking the usual course north
eastward, and has reached Savannah. No re
ports have been received from Florida for the

Probabilities : Local storms aro probable for
to-nigbt and Saturday in Minnesota, and the
■barometer will probably fall with increasing
haze and cloudiness from Arkansas to New York

is probable for the interior of New England.
