LOCAI. MATTERS.
Prof. BlgfC l *
Oar readers will observe that the fiwst
term of the Dancing Academy by this
gentleman, will close to night, with a
Soiree to his pupils, and the second
course will open on- Wednesday. Pi of.
Biggs is deservedly popular noth as a
teacher of Dancing, and as an affable!
and worthy gentleman, and we advise!
all who would like to take lessons in!
the polite acomplishment of Dancing to
embrace the opportunity to do so.
Concert Hall.
A portion of Mr. Marciiant s Charles
ton Company opened Concert Hall last
night with three familiar pieces, enti
tied—“ The Man without a Head." “ A
Pretty Piece of Business,” and "The Loan
of a Lover.”
The Company made a favorable
impression, and when the accession;
which arc announced to arrive, are add
ed, it will be the strongest dramatic;
corps we have had for years.
To-night Mr. Walcott makes hisse-'
corn! appearance, as Tony Lumpkin: 1
Mr Marciiant will play Young Marlow,
and Mr. Fuller will appear as Hardcas
tle, in Goldsmiths fine Comedy, "She
Stoops to Conquer” The performance
will conclude with the amusing Farce of
the ‘‘Swiss Swains.”
Fair in Hamburg.
Our local readers will hear in mind
that the fair of the Union Sabbath
School, in Hamburg, comes off to-mor
row-night, when, in addition to the fan
cy articles, a Supper will be given. As
the object is to complete the Church in
that place, it is to be hoped that there
will be a liberal attendance from among
our citizens.
A Funny Coincidence.
One of our morning cotemporaries
copied a few days ago, an account of a
dancing match between a chap named
Snellings and “Big Sis,” and credited
it to an Augusta, Maine paper. The
match alluded to was described ig. a
sketch called “My Electioneering >FMT
ic,“published in the Augusta Cenryia Dis
patch, last summer.
Air Gas.
We are pleased to learn that Mr. M.
B. Smith, Agent of the new Air Gas,
previously noticed in our columns, has
disposed of the right to use this light
in Richmond, and some other counties,
to a responsible company in this city,
who will be prepared in a short time to
attach it to the residences of our citi
zens in town or country. We believe
it to be the cheapest and most desira
ble light in use.
Rowdyism Rampant*
On Fnnday evening last, some rowdies, in a
spirit of wanton mischief, atta kod the residence
or Dr. W. S. Fki.dk r, tearing ofT the window
blinds, and otherwise defacing thd building. Tbe
perpetrators of t* is outrage are unknown. I:
discovered, the severest ponaltD'S of tbe law
should be inflicted upon thorn. Dr. Felder is
one of tbe most quiet and orderly of our citizens,
and no motive can be assigned for the attack,
save that of wanton mischief.
Rh bmoml Superior Court.
The time for the criminal docket
having been consumed, the cases un
tried will lay over, and the equity and
appeal dockets will engage the court for
the balance of the week.
Change of Schedule.
A convention of Southern railroad
men was held in Chattanooga on yester
day, to prepare a new schedule more
suitable to the various railroads of this
section. We hear it intimated that
there is some prospect that the trains
will leave Augusta on the Georgia Road
about sixo'dock, morning and evening, j
We do not know when they are to ar-j
rive. The exact time above noted, if,
vet uncertain, hut if there is anything:
in a general auxiety for such a change, j
it will be made.
“Where i* Sergeant Iflvny 1” j
Enquires a New York paper. ITeasej
state, for the benefit of his enquirers,
that he was in this city a short time
since, looking remarkably well; and you
might also state, that they need fear no
evil apprehensions as tobis getting lost,
as the writer of this will take special
pains to act as his cicerone. I gave him i
all the assistance I could, in trying toj
find a stenographer, hut failed. I have
shown him the different depots, so that
he might not take the wrong one when
ever he chooses to leave for home. He
is quite a nice young man, that Ser
geant Birny. Don't you see how he
broke up those fortune tellers in New
York' I tell you 'taint every man
that could have done that.
Jake Snooks, Esq. j
.Nominee tor Attorney General*
We intended—though out of our way
as a miscellaneous newspaper—to copy
the proceedings of the Democratic Con
-vection at Millcn, which nominated
Ci-Übokne Sneed, Esq., as a candidate
for Attorney General for the Middle
Circuit—hut we did not receive a copy
of the resolutions until after they had
appeared in several other papers, and
we make it a rule not play second fiddle
to the political papers or any body else,
when we can help it.
We cordially congratulate our esteem
ed friend Bkeed, as well as the people of
the District, on his selection for that re
sponsible office. If elected, we believe
he will fiill it with ability and fidelity.
Our friend Rogue* is also in the field, '
on his own hook—ami we would rejoice ,
to see the race left to a contest between j
these two gentlemen alone.
Pre.byteiinu Synod.
This body continues in session at the \
Lecture Room of the Presbyterian
Church. On Saturday the reports from
the Theological Seminary, Oglethorpe j

NOT AT HOME.
' Mrs Granger, Mrs. Dr. West, and;
» Mrs. Lee, all happened to meet at the!
j residence of Mrs. Grand, one morning, j
1 They were fashionable women, and of,
| course making fashionable calls.
Mrs. Grand's first impulse was to lie;
“not at home,” she felt somewhat in-!
disposed ; but, on second thought, she 1
contrived to infuse a little animation
into her features, and crept downstairs.
. The ladies, however, were so cordial :
* and so chatty, that Mrs. Grand did no!,
t regret having made the effort.
Conversation for once took an unex
’ pectcd turn, and instead of wasting ex
> clamation upon that Mrs. Upham's ex
> travagant bonnet, or Miss Smith, the
. little flirt's new moire antique, the theme'
. was, “Not at home."
Mrs. Granger declared she could see
no harm in such a very little white lie,
for in one sense people were not at home i
—to company! She-found it a most;
convenient excuse for bores, and if she!
1 had a headache, or wanted a day for i
° herself, she did nut scruple to use it.
“I shall remember that!’’ said Mrs.
, Lee laughing.
| “Oh !to my intimate friends I am.
of course, always at home,” replied Mrs.
Granger, blushing scarlet—“but now
’ confess, you dear little piece of proprie-l
’ ty, that you use this subterfuge occa-:
sionallv. You certainly cannot always!
see your immense circle of visitors at;
. home.
“ Icertainly cannot,” said Mrs. Lee ;
■ “but I believe I never sent that mes-j
1 sage to tlie door but once, and for that'
r once.” she continued, a painful look ;
crossing her face, "1 shall never forgive!
myself. If was more than three years
ago, and when I told my servant that
1 morning t > say, “Not” at home” to
. w homsoevet mightcall, exceptshe knew!
„ it was some intimate friend, 1 felt my;
cheeks tingle, and the girl's look of sur
-3 prise mortified me exceedingly. But
t she went about her duties, and 1 about
j mine, sometimes pleased that 1 had l
I adopted a convenient fashion by which j
I could secure more time to myself, j
! sometimes painfully smitten with the l
'I reproaches of my conscience. Thus;
■ the day wore away, and when Mr. Lee
;; came homo, he startled me with the I
. news that a very dear and intimate
j friend was dead.
“It cannot be,” was my reply, “for
i she exacted of me a solemn promise
that I would, alone, sit by her dying
J pillow, as she had a secret of great im
portance to reveal to me. You must be
misinformed; no one has been for me’
—here suddenly a horrible suspicion
crossed my mind. “She sent for you,
but you were not at home,” said Mr.
Lee, innocently ; then he continued, “I
am sorry for Charles, her husband, he
! thinks her distress was much aggrava-
I ted by your absence, from the faot that
she called your name piteously. He
would have sought for you, but your
servant said she did not know where
j'ou were gone. lam sorry. You must
have been out longer than usual, for
Charles sent a servant over here tiiree
times.”
“ Never in all my life did I expe
rience such loathing of myself, such;
utter humiliation. My servant had!
i gone further than I, in adding false-:
; hood,and I had placed itout of my power
i to reprove her by my own equivocation.
I felt humbled to the very dust, and
the next day I resolved, over the cold
clay of my friend, that I would never
again, under any circumstances,' say,
“Not at home!”
“ But did you find out the secret!”
asked Mrs. Granger !”
“Never!” said Mrs. Lee; “it died
with her. It was in relation to a little
child in the family, and I have always
felt a painful consciousness that I might
have received information by which the
poor little thing could be greatly bene
fited.”
Mrs. Granger united her delicate bon
net strings, and took to fanning herself
with a lace-haudkerchief. Mrs, Grand
immediately rose and offered her a fan
that lay on a little table near.
“Thatreminds me,” said Mrs. Dr.
West, “of a similar circumstance that
occurred in my husband's practice. A.t
one time we were very intimate "with
the family of a Mr. Allen. They lived
in tbe suburbs in a beautiful mansion, j
The dorter called there quite often as a'
friend and acquaintance. Mrs. Allen
had hut one child, a son, hut five years
old, a little angel in appearance and
disposition, and as complete an idol ns
ever shared the love of two devoted
; hearts. One day my husband rode by
there, and, as was his wont, stopped a
moment. A new servant who did not
; know him met him, and told him the
mistress was not at home ; so he rode
off again. Some two hours after he
came home, anil was surprised when 1
! told him that Mr. Allen had sent after
him long ago; that Mrs. Allen was
j nearly crazy, and the child dying, hav
ing accidentally swallowed poison. He
! hurried hack. There were several doc
tors in the room, and the little Eugene
was just breathing his last. My hus
i band ascertained what time the acci
dent occuncd, and found that, he lmd
i not been misinformed at the period of
j his first visit, he could easily have saved
his life. When Mrs. Allen learned that
he actually stood before her door at the
J very moment she discovered that her
child was ill, her reason forsook her,
l and she has never since fully recovered.
, She had given strict orders that morn
ing, that she was at home to no one ;
and unfortunately, a physician could
not be found till nearly an hour too
late.”
“ Dear me!” said Mrs. Granger, petu
lantly, “ what can one do when one’s
! visiting list is so large!” and she drew
i together the folds of a magnificent cash
mere shawl. One would not like to
j send down an excuse ; for my part, I
dou’t see how you could do so.”
“ 1 do very well without resorting to
a falsehood,” said Mrs West.
“ Oh, dear me ! You can’t call it a
j lie !” exclaimed Mrs. Granger, much :
mortified.
“Then, what is it?” asked Mrs. West, j
The calm, quite tone, quite confoun- ;
j ded Mrs. Granger. She pulled at her j
! glove uneasily. “Why, it is—why, cer- j
' tainly—not exactly a lie !” and' then '
l she hesitated.
“ What else can you call it?” said!
, Mrs. West, “Suppose I should tell a!
1 friend, who might happen to ask me, ;
; that I had not visited Mrs. Grand’s to
i day-”
Why, of course, it would be false,”
said Mrs. Granger, who was growing
j fidgety.
“Well, and where is the difference, !
I if Mrs. Grand had sent word that she
was not at home?” Certainly we should
have felt bound to believe the corrcct
j ness of the message.”
Mrs. Grand made a nice little mental
| promise that peihaps she never would
do so again.
“ Besides,” chimed in Mrs. Lee, “I
think it leads to los3 of confidence in
one’s friends. We cannot tell those
who would wantonly deceive us, from i
j others who for worlds would not give!
] us a false impression.”
“ I must say,” exclaimed Mrs. West,
| resolutely buttoning iier gloves, “it is
| not. a very creditable way of display
j ing one's partiality. For instance I
take particular pains to call on Mrs.
1 Granger to day. She is “not at home.”
I regret it, leave my card, and to-mor
row meet Mrs. Lee and Mrs. Grand, and
; understand from them they spent a do- j
! lightful hour with Mrs. Granger. At
the very time that lady was not at j
j home to me, they were chatting quite
; cosily in her parlor.”
Mrs. Granger coughed slightly, and
; became very busy fingering her collar, I
twitching her bonnet strings, and ma
neuvering in various ways previous to
; retiring. I, meantime, a silent and.
. unseen listener, jotted down the fore
1 going. Perhaps it will not be amiss to
: think of it.

Give Me ivlsse-.
Dearest, give me kisses,
Press your lips to miue ;
Tiiere ! s rapture in them,
Seeming half divine.
O ’ thrill of Pleasure-
Eloquence of bliss,
When fond lips are raeefr.g
In a loving kiss.
'Tii the silent language
Os a loving breast,
Speaking its emotions
When tbe lips are pressed.
G.ve me kisses, birdliag,
Kiss me, pretty dove ;
'Tis a sc-ai iuvitiug
Heart to heart in love,
As the dew of Leaven
To the drooping flower,
As the star of even
To the twilight hour,
As tbe lender nestlings
To the gentle dove.
Such arc youthful kisses
To the heart of love.
Give me kisses, darling,
'Tis a Joy to press
I.ips, where lingers ever
Such sweet loveliness.
There, love, don’t be pouting
At this freak of mine ;
Or. by Jove ' I’ll smother
Those sweet lips of thine.
I.et me kiss the frown, love.
From thdt sunny brow,
Since you say 'twas wrong, love,
I’ll return it now.
Dearest, give me kisses,
Heart warm kisses, love ;
’Tis the food of angels
In the world above. ‘
’Twas by them in Eden,
That we sinful mortals
Were flrst taught to kiss.
Then sweet kisses over
Would I claim from thee,
Angels emulating
Iu love’s rivalry.
When ray heart is weary
Willi the cold world’s strife,
Give me kisses, dearie,
The sweet balm of life.
And when death-dews gather !
On this brow of mine, ! i
And the love-light ceasetb •
In these eyes to shine,
It shall be my prayer, love,
With my latest breath.
That thy loving kisses
• Seal my Ups in death.
Low Necked Dresses,--In the early
days of Pennsylvania there was ft l.aw
which stated as follows : “That if any
white female, of ten years or upward,
should appear in any public street,lane,
highway, church, court house, tavern,
ball room, theatre, or any other place
of resort, with naked shoulders, being
able to purchase necessary clothing,
shall forfeit and pay a fine, not less than
one or more than two hundred dollars.”
The closing paragraph of the law, how
ever, permitted women of questionable
character to bare their shoulders, as a
badge of distinction between the chaste
and the unchaste.
Murders in* Detroit. —Two murders

The captain of a schooner shot steva

ed John Miller shot his sonin law, Pe
