A Blander Nailed.—The Athens Banner says the report that Harris, of the Savannah Morn ing News, gets dead-headed over the railroads in his summer rampage, by riding on the cow catcher a8 a head light, is not true. The Ban ner man is right, for we happen to know that Harris came to this town on the bumper under the platform of the “eend'' car, and “nnbe- knowin" to the conductor. Street Bailroad Iron.—Five car loads of iron for the street railroad arrived yesterday on the Macon and Brunswick lioad, and the cross ties will begin to come forward to-day. The iron which came yesterday will lay about one mile and two-fifths of the road. The contractor for bnilding our street railway is in the city, and will commence work immediately. The laying of the track from the Brown House to the Fair Grounds, is the first thing in order, as we are informed. Big Fish.—The hands at the brick yard of Sparks it Knight quit work yesterday and went a fishing in Walnut creek. About 4 o'clock in the afternoon they returned with a sturgeon weighing 15C pounds, which they had speared and then captured. This monster, with several others of smaller size, had asoended Walnut creek daring the late rise in the river, and neg lected the important matter of returning to the river when it began to fall rapidly on Sunday afternoon, and hence they were left in a hole in the cre6k, where the party of “bricks” drop ped in on them. Another Rmllwnj Catastrophe. A mail train going at thirty-five and a freight train going at eighteen miles an honr, collided ' Six were killed and a long list of wounded. The engineer was fatally injured. He had orders in his pocket forbidding the movement of the train which caused the disaster. Ninety-five railroads, mostly south of Ohio River, will carry passengers to the Cincinnati exposition at half fare. Charles Scribner, head of the New York Pub lishing House, died in Europe of typhoid fever— aged 51 The loss by the great fire at Point-a-Petre, Guadeloupe. was $0,000,000 to $8,000,000.

Persons desiring to avail themselves of this di rect mode of shipment should have expressed on their hills of lading that thair consignments shall be landed at the Central Railroad wharf.

J. F. WARING, sugl 2m Forwarding Agent Wilted Down.—Ask the man who complains of "wilting down" in torrid weather what he has done to sustain bis system under the extra strain impos ed on his vitality. He may tell you that he has tried a variety of catbartioa to purify hit blood and brighten his epirits. Under such treatment, of course, his strength has given way, and his ener gies have become exhausted. What he requires is a restorative, not a depletant. His blood is thin Ins nerves have lost their natural tension, and na ture demands to he renovated and reinforced. The means is within the reach of all. For nearly score of years Hostetter s Stomach Bitters has been 1 mlding up broken constitutions, bracing and strengthening attenuated frames, and affording comfort, ease and hops to thousands. As a pre ventive of the epidemics which make such havoc with the health of the inhabitants of new settle ments, this famous tonic is certainly without ■rival. Perhaps the principal portion of iu world wide fame is attributable to its astonishing cures of Irspepsia, and all forms of indigestion. But these are not a moiety of its triumphs. AB the types of Mliousness yield to iU persistent use. It is a regu lating medicine of the highest ordsr; and iu effect upon the secretions, when irregular, is most salu- tsry. Imposition of the grossest character ia sought to be practiced upon the 00immunity by vendors, who recommend tinder the name of 41 bitters," fiery compounds of a dangerous character, which they attempt to substitute for the great national tonic. Shun all such nostrums, and see that you have the genuine Hostetter s Stomach Bitters, properly au thenticated by label, name and stamp, and sold in bottles only, The Lost Child.—Since daylight on Satur day morning last, a diligent search hat been going on for the body of little Willie Harris, reported os drowned on Friday evening by two or three of his playmates. Should his body be recovered, we do not think that it will be found very near the point in the river where, it ia said, he fell in. It seema to ns that those who have been searching for him all this time, have dragged every square inch of the river bottom within one hundred yards of that point, and that they should now extend their search lower down. Mayor Huff, with characteristic gene rosity, has offered a reward of one hundred dol lars for the recovery of tbefeody. District Court.—There were twenty-eight cases docketed for hearing in this court last week—twenty-two of which were disposed of before the conrt adjourned. Judge Cowles held morning and afternoon sessions and thus put business through with a vim. Since this court has got to turning over its guilty offenders to the Mayor of the city to work on the streets, instead of sending them to the county jail to fatten, we begin to think that it is a good thing for the county. We intended to publish a list of Lie cases tried at the last term of the court, bnt have not the space. Suffice it to say, how- ever, that about thirty months’ labor was ex acted by the court from offenders, while fines sufficient to pay expenses of the conrt were col lected.

Groover, Stubbs A Co.—The card of this pop ular and well established cotton warehouse firm, of Savannah, will be found in this issue. The financial ability and experience of this firm, with their facilities for doing a large factorage and commission business gives them a front position among the cotton factors of the State. They have a large, new fire-proof warehouse, at the head of Bay street, Savannah, capable of securely storing 25,000 bags of cotton, and ia convenient to the railroad depots and river. Flour.—Small A Gamble, Third street, are the heaviest flour dealers in this market. They always keep the best made, and guarantee satisfaction in every case, or money refunded. Their “Hazor” flour is praised by every one, both merchants and consumers, and it is the subject of conversation with the ladies on all occasions. We call the attention of merchants, especially, to the large stock of floor at Small A Gamble's wholesale house, for we want all to be satisfied, and we know 8. AG. can do it.

Wing. by a rambling, hissing sound. Fragments of timber and metal flew in every direction. The forward part of the boat’s oabin was car ried completely away. The chimney fell back wards toward the rear of the boat, crushing the upper cabin, and the boat iuimediately sank with her bow submerged. About sixty or sev enty persons were killed and injured by the ex plosion. So far the bodies of nineteen dead— eight l&dios among the number—have been re covered. Twenty-eight wounded have been brought to this city, and one of the number— a tittle girl—has since died. The scene was appalling, terrific, and heart-rending. Wilder scenes of grief are seldom witnessed. The frantio cries of survivors, as they lamented for lost wives, children, parents, and sisters, were agonizing to all who had human sympathies. Many of the passengers were little children, and many little bats and bonnets came ashore to tell of the little victims beneath the waves. The Captain, William Eaton, swam some time with both of his legs broken. A boat reached him just too late and he went down. The tVo pilots were killed. The engineer and wife were severely injured, and all the firemen killed. It is impossible to correctly estimate the loss. By some it iR supposed that at least 30 or 40 per sons are still buried in the debris of the wreok, or at the bottom of the bay. A diver has gone to the scene of the disaster. The accident has cast a gloom over the whole city, and a univer sal sadness prevails. The streets are crowded with people, and the excitement and feeling is intense. The Ocean Wave has been for some time considered an unsafe boat, and has always been an unlucky one. A criminal responsibility rests somewhere, and it shonld be visited upon those to whose recklessness and incapacity it is attributable. The system of inspection every where is loose, careless and reckless. The boiler was not so much exploded as it was tom open with a long seam. It was so rotten as to literally lear open. Had it been stronger so as to explode with greater force the destruction would have been greater. The force of the ex plosion was upward and forward. Charleston, August 28.—Diligent inquiry fails to discover any new cases of fever in the last twenty-four hours. The whole number of persons having the fever now hardly exceeds a dozen. The disease seems to yield readily to medical treatment, except in cases which were neglected in the early stages. The appre hension of an epidemic is gradually subsiding.

The high barometer which was Sunday evening on Lake Superior has extended east and northward, and is now beyond onr stations. The area of low barometer which was then in the Indian terri tory has moved northeastward, and is now cen tral in No: them Illinois; its influence extending southeastward to the Bine Ridge and northward beyond Lake Superior. The barometer has fallen most rapidly from that Lake to Lake Erie. Southerly winds, with cloudy weather and oc casional rain, has been reported from Northern Georgia to Ohio and northwestward; easterly winds from Lake Superior and Minnesota, and partially cloudy and clearing weather north and east of Maryland. Probabilities: Southerly winds with cloudy and rainy weather is probable for Tuesday, on the Southern and Gnlf coast. Cloudy weather from Wisconsin to Arkansas and westward. The area of lowest pressure will probably move northeastward over Lake Huron, with rain and fresh southerly winds on the lower Lakes, and easterly winds on Lake Superior. Threatening weather and light rains in the Middle and Eas tern States. Dangerous winds are not an ticipated. New York, August 28.—At a meeting of the Grand Jury to-day, Recorder Hackett delivered a special charge on the subject of the Westfield boiler explosion. The Judge pointed out the provisions of the law applicable to the case and circumstances necessary to be found to exist in order to reach the President, Snperintendent and Engineer of the Company. The Recorder said it was too often the case that subordinates are made scape-goats for erring officers who are over them, and who are more powerful in place; and he means, if it is possible on the facts and law, to hold presidents, directors, etc., of com mon carriers responsible for aocidents happen ing to passengers, whose lives and limbs they are bonnd to insure against negligence. Then a groat and beneficial example would be set these officials who exact liberal commutations and fares ; and they should be held to the ut most vigilance. He concluded by saying: “With a whole nation looking at onr jndicial action upon this great catastrophe, let us all give no room for after reproaches from any quarter.” Paris, August 28.—Gen. Ducrot has been appointed military commander at Bruges. It is reported that the Radical deputies will resign their seats in the Assembly and contest the elec tions in all the departments. A discussion of the report of the committee upon the motion submitted by M. Rivet for the prolongation of the power of Thiers, will begin in the Assembly to-morrow. The municipal council of Paris has resolved to issue in the form of a lottery a three per cent, loan for a large amount. Versailles, August 28.—M. Rivet’s proposal for prolongation of the term of Thiers will be brought before the Assembly to-day. Berlin, August 28.—The Prussian Cross con firms the report that the second meeting of the German and Austrian Emperors has been arrang ed, and states that it will takeplaoe probably on the 7th of September, at Solsburg. Emperor Francis Joseph will be accompanied by Count Von Benst. A firm basis was laid at Gasten for relations whereby Germany and Austria are to assume a joint attitude. Italy has uncondi tionally agreed to the same policy, and commu nications have passed between the three gov ernments looking to the establishment of a com plete understanding. London, August 28.—Tho French deputation who, since their arrival in Ireland, have been Diet with a constant succession of enthusiastic greetings from tho people of Ireland, leave Dub lin to-morrow for England. The report of the treaty of alliance, offensive and defensive, concluded by Prussia and Italy, rests on the authority of a special dispatch to the London Standard. Upon the departure of the French deputation from Ireland, hands played American, Irish and French airs. The onthusiam was intense. Bad feeling was evident between the police and the jeoplo, but no disturbance occurred. The po- ice holding aloof, the procession paraded the principal streets, and the houses on the line were decorated. It was sn extraordinary Feni an demonstration.

At the commencement of the diarrhea, which al ways precedes an attack of thejcholera, take a toaspoonfnl of THE PAIN KILLER in sugar and water, (hot if convenient,) and then bathe freely the stomach and bowels with the Pain Killer clear. Should the diarrbee or cramps con tinue, repeat the dose every ten or fifteen minutes until the patient is relieved. In extreme cases, two or more teaspoonfnls may be given at a dose. The Psin Killer, as an internal remedy, has no equal. In cases of cholera, summer complaints, dyspepsia, dysentery, asthma, it cures in one night by taking it internally, and bathing with it freely. Its action is like magic, when externally applied to old eorea, barns, scalds, and sprains. For sick headache and toothace, don't fail to try it In short, it is a Pain Killer.

CHEAP GASLIGHT Tie “Complete Gas fforU” I S a simple, safe and reliable apparatus for sup plying PUBLIC BUILDINGS and PRIVATE RESIDENCES, with a superior and CHEAP GAS LIGHT. Upwards of FOUR HUNDRED are in successful operation in private residences, churches, factories, etc. No other apparatus is operated on the same or any similar principle, which guarantees a light of uniform quality, in either argand or open Burners, WITHOUT THE USE OF ARTIFICIAL HEAT. The pr&cticsl operation of the Machines can be seen at the PASSENGER SHED of the Railroad Companies in MACON; alto at the Printing and Publishing House of Messrs. J. W. BURKE A CO. We call attention to the following extract from a letter from J. W. Burke, Esq.: Maoox, Ga., March 23,1871. 1 'We have had one of the U. S. Gaslight Comps ny’s Machines, in operation since the 10th of No vember, 1870, and it is perfectly satisfactory to us In its general working and cheapness. We paid the Macon Gaslight Company for four months of last year and the year previous—viz: November, De cember, January and February—#399.56. In using this Machine onr gas for the four corresponding months cost us #114—thus saving ns in that time #285.56. The light it quits as good as that of the City Gas Company, and has the advantage of being entirely under onr control to use ss we please. During the severe weather in December it burned without intermission, not being at all affected by the freeze. We see no trouble in the Machine or the light, and cheerfully recommend it.” [Signed] J.
