WARING, SQg4 2m Forwarding Agent. Midicil Mistakes.—It took tho faculty about a 1 years to discover that the best way to cure •Has was not to rendor tho patient too weak to etsod with it. Within the last twenty years, how- ' w, the whole system of medical practice haebeen t for tho bettor. In disoasos or complaints 1 by excessive heat, for instance, the doctors Q° longer recommend tho redaotion of the invalid's i by prostrating medicines. The vast auo- Jess which has attended the uso of Hoatetter's i Bitters as a remedy for debility, has given |v*u the moet prejudiced members of tho old school i insight into the only true and rational theory of Cantharides, calomel, and overpowering ) of opium, arc now among the obsolete nos- s of another age. The lancet, once as mnch be legitimate weapon of the physician as the sword b of the soldier, is seldom drawn from its case, oe principle of life is no longer drained from the s by the quart, and water gruel for the etrength- ■ invalid has ceased to be considered an appro bate diet. Vigor is the motto of tho rational mem- |** o! the profession, and they understand, at •t, the value of a sterling vegetable tonic. So, , with the people at large; and without consult- pS medical men at all, they have adopted the bit- i at a household remedy, thereby economising i cash and health. J Note the fact, that Hoatetter’s Stomach Bitters is J - - in bottles only, never in hulk, and that the s springing up In various parts of the coun- 7* and sometimes offered aa substitutes for the : national specific, are all utterly worthless. | MtimoE Gnnr.—Interesting vrork, numerous a rings, 221 pages.

Augusta Wateuitexoxs.—Another lot of those fina melons, jnst received at S. T. k B. P. Waleeb’s, 8S Cherry street The Bibb County Agricultural Society meets on Saturday next, at 10 a. si., in the rooms of the Society, over Lightfoot k Jaquos’store, on Third street We heard an absurd rumor yesterday that a death had recently occurred in Macon from yel low fever. It is hardly necessary to say that there was not the slightest foundation for it. “The City of Macon.”—As the Charleston line of steamships have done onr city the honor of naming their most magnificent vessel after our city, we hope the compliment will be appre ciated by presenting her with a full set of colors. Hazob Floub.—The flour trade is a specialty with Messrs. Small k Gamblo, grooers and pro vision dealers on Third street. Their Hazor brand of flour is particularly fine, and is a great favorite with housekeepers. Give it a trial. A TninmT.T-.Temptation.—“It is such a novel as only Charles Reade could have written, in its fertility of invention, wealth of incident, originality, dramatic power, intense character ization and startling innovations upon the liter ature of fiction.” For sale by Bnows & Co. Peesonal.—We are glad to seo again in the city Col. Wm. H. Sparks, and to note that, although verging upon three score and ten years of age, he is still in the enjoyment of excellent health, and is as active and lively in his move ments os a cricket. Ha has been sojourning for the last five or six months in New Orleans and Louisiana generally. Bucglaby.—Tho store of the Southern Prize Package Company, on Cherry street, was bur glariously entered on Tuesday night, and robbed of about $40, which the thief or thieves ex tracted from the prize boxes of candy. The candy was strewn all over the floor. The thief evidently expected to win ono of the large prizes, but as look would have it; he failed to get hold of the right box. * Democratic Meeting.—There will bo a meet ing of the Democracy of Bibb county at the City Hall on Saturday morning next, at eleven o’clock, for the purpose of appointing delegates to the Senatorial Convention to nominate a candidate to fill the vacancy occasioned by tho resignation of T. J. Speer. The meeting is called by authority of Hon. Thos. Hardeman, Jr., Chairman of the Bibb County Democratic Club. -1 Ws understand that tho Central Bailroad will discharge its cotton at Ihe foot of Poplar street) and that a platform will be built there for that purpose. This will bo very convenient to the warehouses. Tho arrangements for tho dis charge and rocoption of freight by that com pany now in operation and contemplation are many times better than of yore. It is remark able that they were not made when our roads were first built. Singleton, Hunt & Co.—This is ono of onr staunchest and most reliable mercantile firms, They are wholesale dealers in Boots, Shoes. Hats, Tranks, Umbrellas, &o., on Second street, near the National Bank. They have just re ceived a fall and carefnlly selected stock of goods in their line, and are now ready to open the fall trade with a vim, and on an extensive scale. Merchants in the small towns of Central and Southwestern Georgia will save money by calling at Singleton, Hunt & Co.’s, before%>nr- chasing elsowhere, as they can do as well there in filling small orders as in New York- All the latest styles of boots, shoes and hats in store and arriving weekly. See the advertisement. The Weather Retorts.—Tho weather reports sent ont from Washington are remarkably cor rect. They are attracting universal attention, and we presume in time must bo regarded of tho utmost importance. When they first com menced coming nobody attached any credit to them, bnt they have got to be looked upon with the deepest interest. They told us yesterday morning that we wonld have stormy weather during the day, and sure enough we had it. The streets of the city were flooded about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the cloud being accompanied with a furious wind. We are glad the science of storms is beginning to be so well understood, and hope in time that it will be reduced to ab solute certainity. In connection with the foregoing we might appropriately state, that the storm of yesterday afternoon was quite severe at the Park. Ono of the large trees on the river bank, near the race track, was uprooted, and a portion of one of the framo bnildings in course of erection was blown down. It was no fault of the timber or workmanship that it gave way before the storm, as it was just about in that condition when a strong wind wonld be apt to injure it. The damage will soon be repaired. * 1 5 ■ «•» < - ■ ■ ■ V'' The Labobatoet Pboperit.—Theheirs of ex- Govomor Charles S. Maodonald have com menced regnlar suit in the Superior Court, against tho purchasers of the Laboratory proper ty and grounds for its possession. As most people know, it is tho place where the first great State Fair was held, and includes all the exten sive improvements placed thereon by the Con federate government and the company which afterwards bought it from the United States. The property was condemned as spoils of war by the United States and sold as snob, bnt un der regular legal protest filed by tho attorney of the heirs. The United States sold only a quiet claim deed to the company and realized $24,000 by tho sale, so no recourse can be had, in cose the suit now pending goes against the company. The Macdonald heirs base their case upon tho fact that the land was sold by the Adminis trators against their united protest and author ity, and we understand that they (the adminis trators') acknowledge this to be fact. Able counsel have been retained, and we presume the matter will be of long duration in the oo arts. We regret the “hocklety” into which this magnificent property has fallen, for we bad hoped that now that it had been abandoned as Fair Grounds it would be speedily turned into one of the finest cotton factories in the South. We hope yet the matter can be amicably adjust ed and left to take that course. We suggest that all parties come together, talk the matter over in a friendly spirit and settle it without going into interminable law suits abont it. Large Cabbages.—Messrs. S. T. & B. P. Walker received yesterday a crate of the largest and finest cabbages of tho season. Also, a fine lot of Pine Apples. Call on them to-day and get some. Calamo. Cocoantt.—Remember that S. T. k B. P. Walker receive a freeh supply of those delicious Caramels every week. McLean's Cordial and Blood Purifier is the best tonic and blood alterative in the world. jxme4-Gm.

Wood, that the Golden Rule was pur- pc.tely wrecked in 1866, in order that over a mil lion in treasure belonging to the United States might be stolen. According to Woods’ nar rative, Montgomery Gibbes managed the affair. Wood says he would have made arrests had it not been for the dr tire of the adminis tration to protect Gibbes.

The barometer has fallen dnring the day from the lower Lakes to Lake Superior, after having risen considerably during the night. Cloudi ness has increased from Michigan to New York, and local storms have been reported from Mich igan to Missouri. Probabilities: Tho barometer will probably oontfnue to fall with light rain to-night on lakes Erie, Ontario and Huron. Clear weather will probably oontinuo on Thursday from Mich igan to Louisans and westward. The barom- eter will probably continue to fall in the New England States with partially cloudy weather. Partially cloudy and clear weather with fresh winds are probable for the middle and South Atlantic States.
