Gazelle Steam Fire Engine Company were out for parade yesterday. The Planters Hotel will be officially re-opened about next Thursday. Wm. E. Bendell, a quarrelsome indi vidual, was fined 35 and costs, by the Recorder, yesterday. Company A, Oglethorpe Infantry, hold a street parade, in full uniform, at three o’clock on Monday afternoon. Where is Major Morrison? A sub scriber complains that the crossing on the west side of Reynolds and Mclntosh street is almost impassable. There will be a meeting of the “Rich mond Rifle Club” on to-morrow evening at the Hall of Company A, to arrange matters connected with their new range. The understanding about the Chis tian church dedication is, that Rev. J. S. Lamar the former pastor will preach the last sermon in the old building on Reynolds street in December, and the new church will be dedicated on the first Sunday in January. “As to opening oysters,” said Old Hurricane, “ why, nothing’s easier, if you only know how.” “ And how’s how ?” inquired Straight. “ Scotch snuff,” answered Old Hurricane, very sententiously ; “ Scotch snuff; bring a little of it ever so near their noses and they’ll sneeze their lids off.” Rats that live in granaries are said by a professional rat-catcher not to be poisonous, while those that feed on refuse meat inflict painful wounds. This is another argument in favor of the vegetarian theory, and every pious family should keep a granary. James Wylie has played seven thousand nine hundred and forty-four games of checkers in a year ! Thirty two were lost, four hundred and nine ty-five drawn; the balance were all victory. This may be called decidedly home occupation. But John Kenny, the celebrated shirt maker, has won a greater victory than that. His perfect fitting shirts are all the rage, and Mr. Kenny’s patterns are ahead of all others. Give him a call and be satis fied. A telegram arrived in this city last evening, which stated that a special train of six cars, filled with race horses, will leave Charlotte, N. C., this morning for Augusta, to attend the races this week. The stables of Barton & Meddinger, L. A. Hitchcock, W. R. Babcock, Burch & Walker, Major Thos. G. Bacon, and others, are represented by these horses. Mr. Eldridge R. Bellam is to be uni ted in Marriage to Miss Mattie W. How ard, at the First Baptist Church, on the 23d inst.; also we hear it reported that Mr. E. Gaines Tidwell, the popular and efficient prescription clerk at Dr. Tay lor’s drug store, is to launch off Tues day night.— Atlanta Herald. Such notices as the above are what we call progressive journalism ad nau seam. It is time enough to note the fact of marriage. But when journals get to announcing the names of private individuals, it is, to say the least, very questionable taste, and should be stopped. Our Ordinary had better begin to brush up his licenses for cupid is going to do some promiscuous shooting around here soon, if old dame rumor don’t lie again. Young men don’t stay at their dulcina’s houses ’til twelve o’clock at night only on business.— \ Sparta Times. There are several cases of the same disease in Augusta. Mr. Heard’s Funeral. Yesterday morning, the funeral of Stephen D. Hear and took place from his late residence, No. 177 Telfair street. Webb and Social Lodges, F. and A. M., attended in a body, numbering about one hundred, and were fit representa tives of that noble fraternity. A large number of the friends of the late Mr. Heard attended the religious services, which were conducted by the Rev. Dr. Wharton, of the First Baptist Church. At 11 o’clock the funeral procession formed, while “Big Steve” tolled sol emnly. The following gentlemen acted as pall-bearers : Judge Gibson, Past Master, Hon. Charles Estes, Past Mas ter, Otis G. Lynch, B. B. Russell, Wm. Hardeman, Dr. I. P. Garvin, Worship ful Master John S. Davidson, of Webb Lodge, and Josiah Mosher. On the top of the coffin rested gifts of beautiful flowers, while around the edge was a border of geranium leaves. The procession proceeded to the ceme tery, where the concluding ceremonies, according to Masonic usage, were most solemnly performed under the direction of Samuel F. Webb, Esq., S. W., of Social Lodge, No. 1, F. and A. M. It was originally intended that Judge Gould should conduct the concluding services, but while he was able to at tend the funeral, his health would not permit his officiating. True as Gospel. We copy from the Edgefield Adver tiser the following complimentary no tice of a well known Augusta printer: We were much pleased to see in Edge field a few days back, and In our office, our esteemed friend, Mr. E. H. Pughe, of Au gusta. As our people already know, Mr. Pughe is at the head of one of the largest and finest book and job printing establish ments in the South—on Jackson street, Augusta. From this concern may be had, at shortest notice and in unsurpassable style, ledgers, cash, day, letter, copying, receipt, memorandum and all other kinds of blank books. Mr. Pughe is an English man and a practical printer, and brings in’o business life in America all the level headed sagacity and tenacity of John Bull. Ia addition to the business referred to above, Mr. Pughe has assumed the business management of this paper, by the retirement of H. C. Stevenson. No one in the State is better calculated “to fill the bill,” and our paper has been fortunate in securing his very valuable experience. Runaway. An old gentleman, driving a pair of horses attached to a phaeton, came near meeting with an accident yester day in Campbell street. The horses became frightened, and started on a dead run up Campbell street. By the prompt action of a stalwart colored man, who ran into the street and stopped the horses, an accident was averted. Broad Street Notes. Of the many haudsoma stores that grace Broad street, none offer any greater attractions to passers-by than the jewelry store of F. A. Brahe & Cos., on the southwest corner of Broad and Mclntosh streets. The display in the windows offer a study for an artist. The blending of color and the grouping of many objects of art in these win dows, draw a great deal of attention; and the interest is heightened by a visit to the interior of the store, where can be found a stock rich, rare and reasonable in price. This house is one of the oldest in Augusta. F. A. Brahe came to Augusta in 1832 as watchmaker for Clark & Cos. In 1842, he established a business of his own, which he carried on till 1868, when he admitted G. G. Leonhardt and H. A. Brahe as partners into the busi ness, under the name of F. A. Brahe & Cos. From this time, the business was conducted by the resident partners, Mr. F. A. Brahe having retired to Ger many, until the death of Mr. Leon hardt, when the entire business went into the hands of the surviving part ner, H. A. Brahe, under whose name the business is now carried on. Among the many beautiful articles, we observed a large amount of sterling silver ware, some of it in sets of sixty five pieces, and valued at 3350. The stock of silver plated ware is very ex tensive, and in fact every article inci dental to the business, can be found at this ,store. By the steamer “Russia,” H.A. Brahe & Cos. have just received a large stock of English watches, ranging in price from 3130 to 3350. These watches are their own importation. The firm has also ordered a largo amount of fancy goods from Germany, which Vill be en tered through our new Custom House. In all well regulated communities, where intelligence is the rule, one of the most important adjuncts is a well ordered periodical and newspaper store, where can always be found the latest novel or newspaper. Of the many stores on Broad street, none have earned a name which it is better en titled to, than the establishment of A. F. Pendleton (successor to Quinn & Pendleton), designated as “the live book store of Augusta.” This store was established just after the close of the late war by Mr. D. Quinn. Several years ago, Mr. A. F. Pendleton became a partner with Mr. Quinn, and about the first of September last, he pur chased Mr, Quinn’s entire interest, thereby becoming sole proprietor. Here can be found, in addition to news papers and periodicals, blank books and general stationery, school and col lege text books, and a variety of fancy goods. The proprietor is a gentleman of intelligence, and having a corps of assistants, it is not strange to note Is doing a fine business. Augusta Exchange. One of the liveliest meetings that has ever taken place in the history of the Augusta Exchange, came off yes terday. For some time past, consider able dissatisfaction has been expressed by some members, on account of the style of reporting the call of stocks at 1 p. m., daily. It culminated at a special meeting hastily called yesterday for the prompt correction of the evil com plained of. An acrimonious debate took place between two of the mem bers, one gentleman attacking the style of quoting stocks, and the other gen tleman as warmly defending it. Oil was poured on the troubled waters by the action of C. H. Phinizy, Esq., who offered the following resolu tion, which was almost unanimously adopted: That only the actual sales of bonds and stocks and prices of which they are offered for sale be furnished the press lor publica tion.” Amusements. The Berger-Russell troupe gained fresh laurels at the matinee and even ing performances yesterday. Miss Anna Berger had fortunately recovered from her indisposition of the night previous, and her solos on the cornet were very fine indeed. She is a lady of extraordinary talent, and always re ceives deserved applause. Professor Anderson as a leader is thorough in his line, and is ably assisted by Fred. Ber ger, Henry Berger and Misses Haddock Etta Morgan and Jennie Titus. The brass instrumentalization of these la dies is remarkable, and must be heard to be appreciated. The charming An nio Morgan, with her beautiful singing, received several encores, each song being of a character to delight the au dience. Asa ballad singer, she should be ranked among the very best. Sol Smith Russell gave an entire change of programme, and shouts of laugh ter and applause greeted him.— His impersonations of the “ Old Maid in Love,” and the “School Boy’s Com position on a' Hoss,” were perfect master pieces of satire. The matinee performance was attended by the largest audience that was over gather ered in the Opera House. Personal. Rev. Father Butler, the Pastor of the Jesuit Church of the Sacred Heart, honored us with a call yesterday. Ho is looking well after his peiila on the sea. • —■— Port Royal Naval Station. Naval Constructor Isaiah Hanscom, U. S. N., has just visited Port Royal with a view to making arrangements for the accommodation of a large num ber of war vessels. Capt. Hanscom is attached, in a confidential way, to the Navy Department at Washington, and remarkod to a gentloman yesterday that there would no doubt bo nearly twenty vessels of war ordered to ren dezvous at Port Royal within two weeks. By making Port Royal a Naval Sta tion, and using Southern coal in the United States steamers, which can be obtained of the best quality in North Georgia, Eastern Alabama and Tennes see, it will create new avenues of indus try, and incidentally benefit this part of the South. Mr. Robeson, Secretary of the Navy, has promised to have the matter examined into, and if the qual ity of coal is passed on’favorably by a Board of Engineers; will order a sup ply of it to be sent to Port Royal at onoe.

Tho Coming Election. Thero seems to be very little interest as to candidates for Members of Council in three.of the Wards of the city, viz : First, Second and Third, though it may bo the workings are quiet in those Wards. In the Fourth Ward, some eight or nine names are announced in our columns this morning, as fyllows : M. E. Hill, C. Y. Walker, E. 111. Pughe, G. W. Conway, J. H. Parker, M. J. Jones, W. H. Foster, B. Doris, with others not yet brought out. The inter ests of the Fourth Ward ate greater than any other in the city, cm account of the large territory compiled in its limits. It demands men who wlii be representative, working assiduously for the best interests of tho Ward, irre spective of cliques or parties. Let the voters see to it that none but men who will do their whole duty and pay strict attention to their sworn duties shall be sent to tho Council Chamber as repre sentatives of the glorious old Fourth.

Yesterday afternoon a negro named Miller stole a bag full of cotton and corn in the lower part of the c*ity. The thief was making off with his plunder when the owner also a negro came up and demanded a surrender of the stolen property. Miller not only i’ofused to surrender, but assaulted the owner, who in self defence shot him in the leg. Assistance being procured tho thief was arrested and placed in jail. Wlio’s tlie Judge S' We learn from parties who were at the West Point Depot at the upward passage of the train on Saturday last, that Cres&e Combs, of this county, con victed of the murder of Manse Newell, colored, and sentenced to the; peniten tiary for three years, was on board, heavily ironed and in charge of an officer. — \Newnan Herald.

The Bible refers to it and says: “Were an angel to come down from heaven, ye would not believe.” It is the cause of much injury. We are disposed to doubt the sincerity of our best friends, and so lar is it indulged, that it often leads to misanthropy. This Is particularly applicable to the vir tues of many truly valuable remedial agents, however strong they mav be en dorsed. Reader, if you have Dyspepsia, Fever and Ague, Sick Headache, Torpid Liver, Bilious Colic, Kidney Disease, Flatulence, Constipation of the Bowels or General De- • bility, and hesitate to use Dr. Tutt’s Liveii Pills, write to him and he will furnish you with hundreds of certificates from the most reliable men and women in the coun try, who have been cured by them, of whom you can make direct inquiry. It will cost you but a postage stamp. The proprietor solicits the investigation of all who need a truly valuable medicine.
