Gaming JUsjnitd). * ATT GU STA. GA: Friday Evening, Fcl>. J>, I^sß. The Weather. The last few drizzly days have cast a cloud over the expectations of those who predicted that we were to have no cold weather. The weather has been as cap tious as a scolding wife—frowny, snap pish. and uncomfortable. Vinter is not to be “postponed on account of the weather," after all, and you had as well brush up your old overcoats, or buy new ones, at once, for they will be needed. gif’ Maj. John H. Sears, formerly of the Columbian Hotel, in Richmond, committed suicide, in that city, on the morning of the 2d inst. gjg- The editor of the Carolinian, at the conclusion of a well written article on Cotton, says: “ We believe that cotton will not get above its present price, and we think it the interest of the planter to sell when ten cents can be had." Editor, in Bad Luck. Some one recently entered an out house, on the lot of the editor of tho Newnan Blade, and cut the skirts from his saddle. The editor of the Griffin Union says a similar trick was served upon him, and thinks it must have been the same man, as there cannot be more than one person in the country mean enough to fob an editor in these hard times. — Georgia Items. We learn that the meeting in refer ence to the Veto Message of Gov. Brov.-n at Marietta, on Tuesday,was not attend ed by any considerable number, and ad-; journed to meet on the first Tuesday in March. We perceive the following officers from Georgia in A. S. Johnston’s com mand in Utah. Lieut. Wm. D. Smith 2nd Regiment Dragoons, Capt. Ai.vitro Ct'MMiso 10th Infantry. A short time since Mr. Cochran, residing in the 17 th District of Clark j county, was injured to the amount of $2,000 or more, by the burning of his gin house and crop of cotton and other things. We learn from the Reporter, that a little daughter, about three years old, of Mr. Norwood, near Hogansville, in Troup county, was burned to death, on Wednesday of last week, under the fol lowing circumstances: Mr. Norwood was making plow-stocks, we believe, not very far from his residence, and had fire at the place where he was at work. Having occasion to step to the house, his little daughter, who was playing around him, took up gome shavings and threw them upon the fire, in doing of which her clothes took fire. She lived until the next morning and died. We are pained to learn, says the Columbus Sun, that on AVednesday morning a kitchen on tho premises of Mr. Jacob Lewis, situated on the hill about half a mile from Columbus, on the other side of the river, was consum edby fire, and melancholy to relate, two negro children, aged about five years, were burnt to death. In Griffin. on Fiiday last, Mr. Henry Coats came to a sudden death, in a very remarkable manner. He had gone into a small grocery store, and while engaged in eating, undertook to swallow a piece of beef, too large for the capacity of his throat, and was choked to death before medical assis tance could be rendered. Texas Intelligence. From the Galveston News of Thurs day we extract the following. Two vessels are now loading at Gal veston, with cotton seed for France, where it is to be used in the manufac ture of oil- An enterprise is on foot for the establishment of a manufactory of the kind at Chappell Hill, in Texas, and others are talked of; but we are not ad vised of the precise progress made. If the oil can be made to answer for illu minating purposes, the home market in Texas will be one of the best to be found. The Houston Telegraph states that the bill to amend the charter and grant ing relief to the Houston aud Texas Central Railroad, has passed and receiv ed the sanction of the Governor. The Relton Independent learns that the Indians have again visited the coun ty of Comanche, a few miles east of Co ra, driven off one cavillado of horses, thirteen in number, killed a man nam cd Peter Johnson, and shot badly a ne gro man belonging to a Mr. Barbee. The Independent learns the follow ing particulars, of another shocking af air: Mr. John Beene and his negro man Daniel were murdered by Indians about! thirty-five miles from Gatesville, in the mountains, on Wednesday, the .10th December, and were found on the 2d inst. They were buried by Mr. Neil and others on the sth inst. Mr. Beene was shot fifteen times with arrows, and was struck three times with his own gun. The negro boy was shot with Seven arrows. The corpses were found unmolested. Mr. B. has lett a wife and eight children. Washington Territory. The Leglature organized on the Bt!i ultimo, with C. C. Pagett as President of the Council and J. Si. M. Van Cleave, Speaker of the House. , Gov. McMullinsent iu a message ob jecting particularly to the impudence of Oregonians in trying to take part ot Washington Territory to set up ail es tablishment as a State. POOR PILLICODY. —o — V FOUNDED ON THE POPULAR THEATRICAL PLAY OF THAT NAME. John Peter Pillicoddy was a seedsman and florist in Southampton, England.— - Within the shop where he transacted ins business, were seeds, and roots, and a flowers, without numoer, over which Sarah, the smartest of shop girls. P r ®[’ 1 ' 0 sided with mueh dignity. Behind the d shop was a garden, with no endof plants . and flower pots and trumpery. Within this garden, Mr, Pillicoddy, watering pot in hand, presented himself one hne y “ Past six o’clock, I declare . he ex claimed, looking at the clock through s the open shopdoor; “ Td no idea it was r so late; I mav say I thought it was ear s lier- Upon my life, I don't know how it is, but time passes so agreeably when one happens to be married. I don’t know whether that's the general opin ion; hut my experiance—and 1 ha ve been , married six months —warrants me, 1 . might say,authorizes me publicly to re peat my observation, that time passes so agreeably when one happens to be married.” ; “ I’m glad to see you watering the plants, sir; it begins to look like old times again,” said Sarah, the shop girl, coming to the door, and smoothing . down her apron with both hands, as . shop girll will. "I certainly- went out into the grounds for that purpose Sarah," returned Mr. Pillicoddy, “hut by the time I had half finished the job, suddenly I discovered, . upon looking into the watering-pot,that ’ I had entirely forgotton the water,which • water is, I believe, generally, if notun i iversally, acknowledged to be an impor tant auxiliary in the operation of water ing.” > “ Ah, sir,” sighed Sarah, with a des , ponding shake of the head, ‘-that shows j you we are thinking of something else. I’d give a whole year’s wages to see you ‘ standing behind that counter again, i with your apron on serving out ceeds.’ “ So you will, Sarah intime,” replied Mr. Pillicoddy, briskly. “You wouldn't grudge your master, your indulgent master, a little occasional relaxation!" ” No ; but the little occasional relax ation you speak of has been going on ! for tho last six months ; in short, sir, I you've quits neglected the business.” “I’m aware of it, Sarah. When I married I put this question to myself— and I put it seriously, Sarah —“Shall I attend to my business, or my- pleasure?” And I unhesitatingly decided in favor of the latter and I felt that I could de vote myself to my present career of in nocent dissipation for the remainder of my existence without a murmur.” “You’ll excuse mo, sir,” persisted Sa- \ rah, “ but I’m afraid you indulge mis- j 1 sus a leetle too much.” • | “ Perhaps I do," said Mr. Pillicoddy, I witli the air of one perfectly content toj 1 let things remain as they were, whether j • right or wrong. “ Perhaps I do, but I can’t help it ; Mrs. Pillicoddy has such a winning way with her. I assure you i that her playful mannerof directing my attention to a new shawl,or a new dress in a shop window, must be seen to be 1 appreciated. And then,when I purchase i the article in question, her style of say ing ye’s—she says ’thank ye' as if she really meant thaffk ye. Ah, Sarah,you ' don’t know what it is to have a young wife!” “ No—and what’s more, I’m sure I never shall!” returned Sarah, trium phantly, evidently much satisfied with the reflection that it was morally and physically impossible for her ever to know anything of the sort. “ Don't be sure of anything, Sarah; there’s no knowing what may happen; look at me; wasn’t I notorious for my antipathy to the matrimonial state ? ” “ Yes, hut that was before you saw Mrs. Pillicodddy. Ah,she certainly was ■ a blooming you ng widow—” “Sarah!” ejaculated Mr. Pillicoddy, with a start, and considerable elonga tion of countenance; “how often have I told you never toalludeto Mrs. Pilli coddy’s former state. It’s painful to me —distressing to me; the very word “wid ow’ puts my tiesh all of a creep, just as if there were several rakes being drawn backwards and forwards over my body --upaud down my hack, especially,” “Well, I'm sure if Iliad knowu you didn’t like her to he called a widow, I wouldn’tjhavecalled herawidow. And yet. if she hadn’t a widow you couldn’t have married her. My brother married a widow poor fellow’?” i “What do you mean poor fellow’?” asked Mr. Pillicoddy, sharply. “Why, because he turned up again.” “Your brother Tom?” “No, t’other chap,” “0, t’other chap!” said Mr. Pillico ■ dy, painfully interested. “May I in quire who this individual you designate as ‘t’other chap,’ was?” “Why, the first husband. He was a j sailor and everybody, brother Tom in . eluded, thought him safe and snug at r the bottom of the sea. But, as I said j before, up lie turned for all that. Bye . \ the by, missus’s first husband, Captain - O’Scuttle, was supposed to be drowned, wasn’t ho?” • Supposed to be drowned!” exclaim [ ed Mr. Pillicoddy. “ What do you mean by supposed to be drowned ? He . was drowned —very much drowned ; the ship went to pieces in the chops of the channel, and so did lie.” i “But they never found him!” asked . Sarah, with much affected simplicity. “ No; he was so comfortably and en tirely lost, that they never contrived to t fish up the smallest particle of him.” “That’s just what they say about ' i brother Tom s wife's first husband; but, - nevertheless, as I said before —” “Hold your tongue, Sarah!” shouted ' Mr. Pillicody, pushing her into the shop and ejaculated, tramping about the gnr ■ den in a high state of excitement. “A \ man universally believed to have loca | ted himself, for the remainder of his days, among the soakles and perriwin -1 kies at the bottom of the sea, that man ; j ‘turned up again 1” Totally regardless ; 1 of the inconvenience thnt he must have J | known would attend his re appearance, ! i that man calmly and deliberately turn -1 led up again? Suppose my wife’s first I | husband should take it into his head to J follow the absurd example set by Tom’s | l i wife’s first ? It wouldn’t bear thinking j about—and yet the thing s impossible! j I appeal to any one. Fifteen months II at the bottom of the sea, aud then turn ;up again; he couldn't do if/ Then, on the other hand, it’s just possible that I, ho may be floating about still, clinging j convulsively to the main top jib, or the . jib main top, waiving his handkerchief, I and franticul.y shouting for assistance, | on the very summit of one of the masts. e Sometimes I fancy lie may have been ,(•: washed ashore on some desert island, where, at this very moment, he may be wandering about like Robinson Crusoe, with his umbrella, and parrot aud his man Friday. By-thc-bye, wouldn’t • Mrs. Crusoe have been warranted in marrying again ? wouldn’t she have • been perfectly justified in sittinajher self down as the disconsolate widow of thb late Robinson Crusoe, Esquire ? Os n course, and so Mrs. Fillicoddy was pcrfect f ly justified in considering that she had is lost her Scuttle. And yet that wretch fl ed mariner haunts me perpetually. I f 1 dreamed about him last night. I '' thought he came to my bed-side, stuck c all over with sea-weed and barnacles, 8 with Neptune’s pitchfork in one hand 11 and his marriage certificate in the other, and demanded his wife. O, murder lit e won’t bear thinking of! I'll go and 6ee about that new bonnet for my be ■' loved Anastasia. ” And he rushed hur -1 riedly out of the garden." [continued to-morrow.] „ ■- A Royal Lady* J Our lady readers will be interested in - the following description of the English 1 ' Princess Royal, Victoria’s eldest daugh ' ter, from the pen of a correspondent of s an Aberdeen journal: e “With the remembrance, as if it had been yesterday, of the boom of the guns ‘ which announced her birth, I was scarce -1 ly prepared to find her a full-grown wo , man, taller by a couple of inches than I her mother, and carrying herself with s the case and grace of womar hood! It is no stretch of loyality or courtesy to s call the Princess Royal pretty. She is • perfectly lovely. The regularity of her f features is perfect. Her eyes are large , and full of intelligence, imparting to t her face that sort of merry aspect which i indicates good humor. “ The nose and mouth are delicately - and exquisitely formed, the latter giv ing an effect of great sweetness. The Princess is more like her father than - her mother. She is like the Queen in • nothing but her nose. In all other re • spects she is a female image of her fath i er. I should add as interesting to your , lady readers, that she wears her hair slightly off her forehead ; not pushed l back in the Eugenia fashion, but brush : ed latitudinally from the temples, and 1 raised at the sides above the ear in bandeaus —(really the ladies must ex ■ cusemeifl am talking nonsense, for 1 \ I have not given that hostage to fash ion which would enable me to speak ex cathedra.) Well at any rate, the Prin [ cess is fair enough to he the heroine of a fairy tale, and the Prince Frederick should consider himself a lucky fellow-, for he is to wed this pretty girl on Tues day, Jan. 2Gth.” Rev. Dr. Livingstone. This eminent explorer has withdrawn ! from the service of the London Mission ! ary Society, and returns shortly to Afri ca] in the employ and under the pat- I ronage of the British Gorernment.— I Five thousand pounds were lately voted by Parliament to Dr. Livingstone to en-1 ! able him to prosecute the exploration j of tlie liver Zambesi, and the southern portion of the African Continent. This ; is a liberal appropriation, handsomely done and done promptly. A like amount \ has for years been solicited from the [ Congress of the United States, but not ! yet granted, for a reconnoisance of that ’ portion of Western Africa lying east J of Liberia- This region will compare ' favorably w-itli that proposed to he vis- [ ’ ited by Dr. Livingstone, in its capabili- j • ties for trade —to obtain which is the I L object of the Britisli nation. Facts About tUe Ocean. j Lieutenant Maury, whose facts, gath ered from extensive observation of the winds and currents of the ocean, are so ! valuable to commerce, states that July ! and August are the most favorable [ months to cross the Atlantic. The most tempestuous month is January, the next , December, the next February ; March j and November are nearly alike, as are September and April. He states, con trary to general opinion, tiiat doubling [ Cape Horn, which is generally regarded [ so dangerous, can never be compared to storms with the winter passage between , England and America. •*•>■» Burled Treasure. 1 A marvellous story is told of a great treasure which lies buried somewhere in the vicinity of Lorretto, California, ex- I ceeding in value that of the famous j Captaip Kidd or the island of Crocus, j It runs in this wise : r In the latter end of the last century, say about the year 1790, an English ’ man,by the name of Jeremia Evans.set tled there as an agent of the Spanish ’ crown, who was largely engaged in the pearl fishery. He w-as successful far be yond his most sanguine anticipations. - The divers he had employed numbered ■ by hundreds upon hundreds, and the s pearls he obtained were of the most costly and precious character. Evans l was undoubtedly the largest pearl ope rator in the world. Ho sent a necklace t to the Queen of Spain, about the year 1 1800, the price of which, it is said, was e computed to he worth a million of dol i lars 1 He collected his oysters from the , Gulf Stream, and planted them in a shallow fresh water pond in the interior j During one of the severe storms which j l almost annually occur on the gulf, and j : which the Mexicans denominate cordonce a on immense quantity of these pearl oys e ters were blown upon the beacli ; these he also gathered up and planted in his I pond until, it is supposed, he had a quantity of pearls equal in value to five - millions of dollars, which he intended J to take to Europe and dispose of at his pleasure. Here he had machinery at t work, something like a miner’s rocker, , by which process he washed out the bi valves, while the glittering and bril -1 liant pearls adhered to the shell. These 5 peials he buried from time to time in some unknown place. He sent many a I ship load of shells to Cadiz and Havre, -1 the proceeds of which more than paid s j his expenses. The pearls he disposed of •-1 in Parte, London and Madrid. Evans a | died suddenly about the year 1810, and s i with him perished all knoweledge of e i the secret spot where lies butied the ■, j immense pearl treasure.

It is one of the few patent medicines which are now sold over the country, that are really what their inventors claim for them. Wherever it has had a fair trial, the result has been precisely as Wood predicts.

It is not pretended that it will make the hair grow in ev ery case, but where it tails there is certainly no remedy. The restoration of the hair has been etlccted in so many instances where the case i seemed utterly hopeless, that it is certainly worth while for all who have lost their hair to try the experiment of using a bottle or two of Wood’s Restorative. —Moline Workman.
