Drown & Co. present us with some spociment of novelties in note pa- per which they liavo just received. The London rago is for note paper of an ob long shape, turning down from the lop, and with an extra fold onco over from tho side fits a square envelope. The fa vorite London tint is a brownish one, while in Boston fawn oolor is most popu lar, though ovory shndo if used. AU are very elegant nnd unique. Tho latest novelty, however, is chil dren's note paper, with envelope* to match, with a little flower or kitten in stead of a monogram. This is in great doinand, and tho juveniles nro rapidly bocoming lotter-writors, in order that they may liavo tho plcasuro of using this paper. Fatally Burned. Hettio Solomon, a colored girl between flvo nnd six years old, was fatally burned yesterday afternoon, under tho following circumstances i Ilor mother loft her at homo for a short time, whilo sho went to • deliver sorao clothes that sho lmd washed for a neighbor who lived near by. AVhilo tho mother was gone tho child ventured too none tho fire, and her clothes wero soon in n blaze, and wero burned almost entirely off her liody before any one come to hor rolief. Persons who lived near heard tho screams of the child, hut paid no attention thereto, thinking that her mother was punishing her. Finally, somo one who happened to bo passing on the Opposite side of the street discov ered that tho child was on fire and gave tho alarm. In tho meantime tho mother returned from her errand and soon had tho Same* extinguished j hut all tho lower part of the child’s body was so badly burned that tho doctors liavo no hope that she will recover. She was alivo at a Into hour la -*. night nnd ration al. Sho said she had gone to the firo to warm herself when hor clothes caught, Tho mother is confident that sho was not absent five minutes. The father’s name is llcnry Solomon, llo lives in one of the rod houses in Dixie Row, on First street near tho river. The Mayor'* Court. Inspired with the spirit of tho season, Georgian* Allen and Sophie Lawrence, a conjdo of colored votaresses of ten cent saloons, got on a tear and called each other exceedingly ugly names, and finally each reported tho other to tho " perlieo.” Sophie came up to an aver, and there K ing no proof against her her case was dismissed. Georgians did not come up, and she was fined five dollars for con tempt of court. Ed. Cooper was up for fighting. Thi* was a one-sided fight, as Ed. merely raised a welt across tho head of a cotem- porarv with the hefty end of a billiard cue. The fellow who was struck thought it was rather a cnc-rtoua way of passing the compliments of the season, and forth with reported the matter to the police. Cooper was fined five dollars, which he paid. Sam Clayton’s ease was continued from yesterday. Sam had stolen a good watch from a female acquaintance and pawned it for a small amount of Christmas money. The watch was recovered and produced in court yesterday morning. Sam admit ted the theft, and was fined ten dollars. His case should have gono to the County Court. However, it is better that the city should haTa made ten dollars out of the case than the negro should be sent to the chain-gang to escape at his leisure. ■sstracttaa mt Iks ■*>Mwr* mf Mr. A. L. Perkins. The residence of Mr. A. L. Perkins, of Monroe county, waa entirely destroyed by fire between five and six o'clock yesterday morning. The fine was discovered shortly after five o'clock, and it had then gained such headway m to be entirely beyond control. Indeed there waa no time to save anything, but house and furniture were consumed together. Mr. Perkins Kav.-d his valuable papers, but beyond this ai! was lost. The residence was a large, two-story frame building. There was a one-story ghc.1 'lepartment attached to the main house, which was used as a cook-room. This part of the bouse was as well built as the other, and every precaution was taken to construct it in such a way a* to provide the greatest security from firo. There was no fire left in the kitchen the night before, and none had been built yesterday morning. At five o'clock there was no sign of fire about the premises, and shortly after the whole house was in flames. How the fire originated is not certainly known, but it is very sugges tive that it should have caught at so ear ly on hour in the morning, and before any fires wore kindled on the premise). The house was the best one in that portion of Monroe county, and woe elab orately and elegantly furnished through out, including a fine new piano. "Wo have hrsuvl no estimate of the loss. Mr. Perkins is a man of means and of indomitable energy, and a fatality of this kind, while it entails a most serious lots, will not set him bock a great deal. We understand that it is his intention to re build, at once, npon the same site. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Important Announcement. GEO. H. WILLIAMSON, GALLATIN. TENN..

At nine o'clock yesterday morning Cor oner Harman held on inquest npon the body of Sam. D. Rainey, deceased, and nfter hearing tho toatimony in the case, the jury returned a verdict that the de ceased came to his death from pneumo nia, caused by a wound from a knife in the hands of John J. Dunn. The funeral of Mr. Rainey took place yesterday afternoon, and was attended by a number of friends of the family. The Floyd Rifles, of which the deceased was a member, turned out in full uniform, to inter their comrade with the usual mili tary honors. Tho funeral took place from tho residence of the father of the de ceased, on Walnut street. The religious serviocs were conducted by Rev. J. O. Branch, pastor of the Mulberry Street Methodist Church. Dunn has not been arrested. It is understood, however, that he is ready to come up at any timo when the grand jury is in session, but does not wish to run the risk of lying in jail for some timo whilo awaiting trial. He is still out of the city. This makes the fourth homicide which has occurred in Macon during (ho latter half of the year. THE HARMONIC SOCIETY. The First Concert. The Harmonic Society will give their first ormrort in their ball in MMoni. Tom- pie, next Tuesday evening, on which oc casion some superb music may be ex pected. This is not a public concert, to which tickets can be purchased, but one to which only active and associate members of the society are to bo admitted, togeth er with such guests as they are entitled to invite. Any member may invite two ladies, or one gentleman who is not a res ident of the city. No gentleman who re sides in Macon can attend these concerts unless he is an associate member of the society. The associate membership is already very large, which will give a good attendance. It may be well to state that any gen tleman may become an associate member by application to tho Secretary of tho So ciety, Mr. T. U. Conner, who will present their names to the committee, and when authorized by the committee to do so, he will issue the certificates of membership upon payment of the dues of one dollar a month. This membership entitles a per son to attend all tho monthly rehearsals and concerts, and gives him an equal voice with the active members in the elec tion of officers and managers of tho So ciety.
