As the down night freight and pas senger train on the Central Railroad from Macon, Tuesday night’ ap proached the 124th mile post, between eleven and twelve o’clock, the locomo tive struck a horse that was on the track and was thrown down an embankment and turned bottom side up. The en gineer was killed and onemf the fire men considerably bruised. Four cars were injured and the track so obstruct ed that trains could not pass, but it vus expected that it would be cleared by yesterday afternoon. As the acci dent occurred above Mlllen, the train from Savannah to Augusta came through yesterday, but there was none to Macon. The engineer who was killed was a young man named John Sweeney, of Savannah. It is said he was married only two years ago, and leaves a wife with an infant but three or four days old. The name of the fireman who yvas injured is Martin Myer. RICHMOND RIFLE CLUB. * The First Annual Shooting. On the Ist of January this Club will hold its first Annual Prize Contest, and judging from the number of entries for the different prizes the Club may feel satisfied that the contest will prove satisfactory to all. In regard to the supposed merits of the competitors, it is difficult to make a choice, as the teams are all good ; in fact, the very best the soldiery in our city can pro duce. The Schuetzen team, although not being accustomed to off-hand shooting, nevertheless are very efficient, and will probably carry off the first prize. The Clinch Rifles seem sanguine and justly so, for their team is very reliable, and has had a fair share of practice. The team of Oglethorpe Infantry, Cos. A, is an excellent one, and from what we can learn, is ranked in the first column. The Huzzars, Irish Yolanteers, Compa ny B, and the Artillery, are all ably rep resented, each impressed with the con viction that their teams will make a very satisfactory score, a supposition generally entertained by their friends. a kind favor. The Schuetzen Club has generously tendered the use of the Schuetzenplatz, with its entire privileges, to the Rich mond Rifle Club for the day’s proceed ings—a favor which is certainly in har mony with the feelings of the gentle men composing that organization, and a favor which will be kindly acknowl edged by the citizens of Augusta, as well as the Richmond Rifle Club. The Club may feel proud indeed of the ac quisition thus attained, by securing such a beautiful place for their first annual match, and it is to be hoped that ere long they.will have a platz of their own. THE PRIZES. The beautiful Wine Stand and its ac companiments —the first prize for teams —was given by the Richmond .Rifle Club. The Card Receiver, an individual prize for the teams, was douated by Capt. W. Daniel. The Tilting Pitcher —first prize for members of the Rich mond Rifle Club —is the gift of John A. Bohler, Sr. The Cup—second prize for members of the Richmond Rifle Club— was tendered by John A. Bohler, Jr. A handsome individual prize is offered for competition, open to all —three shots, at one hundred yards, ring tar get—for which a nominal entrance fee will be charged. . PROGRAMME. The team will meet the Richmond Rifle Club at the hall of the Clinch Rifles, opposite the Southern Express office, at 8 o’clock a. m. They will form into line at 8:15, and march up Broad to McKinnie street, where they will meet the Street Railroad cars, which will convey them to the Platz. The shooting will commence imme diately after their arrival at the grounds. The same team will occupy both ranges, and use both targets at the same time. By this means the shooting will not occupy more than half the ordinary time, and will allow time for other matches which may be made up on the ground. The Platz will be open for all re spectable citizens who wish to enjoy the amusement the occasion will afford. The prizes will be delivered in the evening at five o’clock, after which the day’s proceedings will terminate. ADMISSION TO THE PLATZ FREE. The citizens are cordially invited to participate in the amusements offered by the club, and we hope to see a large crowd enjoying themselves if the weather is favorable. The ladies are specially invited to attend. The Street Railroad will run cars to the Platz at regular intervals during the day. The ( members of the Volunteer Battalion, Hussars, Artillery and Scbuetzen Club are requested to attend as there will be several individual contests in mark manship besides .those already pub lished. PROHIBITION. No member of the Richmond Rifle Club will be allowed to participate with teams contesting for the first prize, or the individual prize open to members of said teams, as these prizes are open for competition outside the club. Active members of the Richmond Rifle Club, therefore, who may have entered with their military organiza tions will please take notice. SCARCITY OF AMMUNITION. The teams have suffered considera bly in their practices, owing to our city being out of United States cartridges. It was rumored last evening that some of the companies applied at the Arsenal for some, but could not obtain any. If they do not arrive to-day the teams will telegraph to Atlanta or Savannah and get a supply by to-morrow. This state of affairs should not exist. A city like this should have at least twenty thousand rounds of ammunition on hand among its military organizations, not.knowing when or where they should need them. The club decided, last evening, to adopt the same style of target at both ranges, in order to give the outside teams an opportunity of procuring a fair average. Target at one hundred yards, four-inch bull’s eye, twelve-inch centre, thirty-six inches outside ; two hundred yards, eight-inch bull’s eye, twenty-two-inch centre, forty-eight inches outside ; possible score at each range, twenty. Mass Meeting at Edgefield. A mass meeting is to bo held at Edgefleld Court House, S. C., on sale day—next Monday—the* object being to consider affairs in the State and to reorganize the Democratic p&rty in that county, and place it on a firm basis for the coming canpaign. Death of the Centenarian. Jacob Whalley, the aged man whose case was mentioned by us Tuesday, died that day, from a stroke of paraly sis. He was born in Barnwell District, Soutn Carolina, December 17,1776, and was therefore 101 years old. He was a member of the Baptist Church since 1835. His family say he was never known to use intoxicating liquors. A. F. Pendleton, of the “Live Book Store,” has received Harper's Bazar and Frank Leslie's Ladies’ Journal. MINOR LOCALS. The late rains have caused a rise in the river. The retail business has fallen off since Christmas. Rather tough on us we must say, but what does “divers other outrages” mean? John F. Quinn, of 198% Broad street, has received a very large invoice of choice bananas. The tax and salary ordinances, adopted by Council last night for the coming; year, are the same as those in force the past year, no changes having been made. They will be published in full in a day or two. A horse attached to a dray ran away yesterday on Mclntosh street near the Port Royal Railroad depot, but was stopped before any damage was done. The horse was driven by a drayman named Henderson. We thought Christmas was rather uproariously celebrated in Savannah, but Augusta’s record shows two mur ders, several cutting and maiming af fairs, felonious assaults upou white girls and divers other outrages. — Sa vannah News. - THE COURTS. December 29th. COUNTY COURT. John Haley, the boy charged - with involuntary manslaughter in shooting young Callahan, Christmas, was brought before Judge Claiborne Snead in tins court for examination. The evidence was substantially the same as that adduced at tho inquest. After argu ment by counsel Judge Snead decided to discharge tho boy, considering the occurrence a misadventure. He re marked upon tho negligence of parents in allowing the careless use of fire arms by boys so young. The prosecu tion was represented by W. Fred Eve, Esq., County Solictor, and tho defense by H. Clay Foster and W. Milo Olin, Esqs. Mr. Eve, in his remarks, con sidered the parents more culpable than the boy, in permitting him to have such license. There was no other case in this Court. The examination of John Bar rett, the crippled boy charged with murder in cutting George Ramsey, the colored boy, will take place Thursday morning at ten o’clock. RECORDER’S COURT. Mayor Estes presided in this Court. P. Parman, having violated the third section of the eighth chapter of the City Code, by hauling a load of dirt from forbidden ground, was fined $2. Two eighteenth section eases were dis missed and one continued. [Communicated.] Children’s Christmas Services. Passing accidentally by St. John’s Church last Sunday evening, the writer was attracted by the sound of fine singing, aud enjoying music intensely, retraced his steps, entered the gate, and learned, upon inquiry, that the children of the Sunday School were having their Christmas services. The evening being balmy and spring-like, all the doors stood open, revealing a large assemblage, filling the entire space within. Finding a seat in the rear of the audience-room, we survey ed the scene before us with unusual pleasure. Tha. song by tho church choir—that grand old hymn, “Joy to the world, the Lord is come,” always fine—was especially appropriate at this advent season. If the rendition of “ Antioch ” on this occasion was a spe cimen of the vocal worship usual in this church, weli may St. John’s be proud of its choir. The organ—a most beautiful one—is situated just where it should be, in front of tho audience and behind the preacher’s desk. Surveying the large company present—though all in it were strangers to us—we felt at home at once, so cordially did it seem to invite us to share the enjoyment of this Christmas festivity. An impres sive opening prayer was offered by the Pastor, Rev. C. A. Evans, who, we learn, was a most gallant Confederate General, but now an humble Soldier of the Cross aud most efficient minister of Christ. The “ Christmas Song ” was next Sung by the children, who were ar ranged in order within and around the chancel, and whose sweet voices and joyful faces told of uuusual emotions in their happy hearts. We recall not all the words of that beautiful song, hut the chorus—" Good tidings, peace on earth, good will to men”—still ring in our ear as those infant voices sung it, loud and clear. The reading of appropriate Scriptures by two lads, and recitations of a “Christmas Carol,” and that exquisite poem of Mrs. Snow, “Annie and Willie’s Prayer,” by two lovely maidens, interspersed with the sweet singing of little children aud oth ers taking part, rendered the services most impressive and interesting. En tranced with the scene, wo were lost in enjoyment, when suddenly a com motion occurred among the little ones, aud soon they were seen tripping up aud down the chancel in animated glee, all intent upon some apparent pleasure. Stretching our neck above the crowd of heads in front, we found the dear little boys and girls were go ing to and returning from a point in the central circle, where they deposited their Christmas offerings to the Sunday School. How gladly sped those little feet, Upon this Christmas errand sweet. And what emotions filled each heart As, one by one, it gave its part Of praise to Christ the Lord ! During the time of these mite-con tributions (and holy incense they were from guileless hearts) the choir and children sang “Children, do what you can,” with delightful effect, each senti ment being practically illustrated by the active “doing” of the joyous boys and girls. Immediately after the offer ing by the little lambs, an address (for aid) to the older flock was made in a masterly manner by a youth who surely did credit to the occasion and to him self. We wish we had the name of that bright boy, and a copy of his speech, but we will always remember his manly bearing, his ardent effort for his Sunday School aud his gentle expres sion of confidence when he appealed to his good friends for their offering, aud humorously desired them to give his school a “lift.” The ease of manner with which this youth distributed the baskets among the little girls (“angels” as he called them) and bade them go forth and collect from each woman and man, adding the injunction to “return with each basket full,” convinced us that he is already a good Methodist, for he knows how to take up a collection. We trust St. John’s young orator and poet—for his speech was in verse realized his “five dollar dreams,” and that many were the “one dollar streams” that poured into his Sunday School treasury. . .. The last and exceedingly interesting ceremony was the building of a cross by the Superintendent, assisted by the wee girls of his fold. First, a repre sentation of a “Solid Rock” was laid by the gentleman, when he read the Scriptures alluding to Jesus as the “rock” and also as the “chief corner stone,” etc. Then followed the little “angels”—girls adding stone upon stone —each reciting sweetly a verse suiting her work, until the upright beam was completed, with all the ris ing parts of knowledge, virtue, tem perance, patience, godliness and broth erly kindness, being the arms—while Charity surmounted all these and com pleted a most beautiful design of the Holy Cross. About this cross the whole school gathered, and sang with touching pathos and sweetest concord that sacred refrain, “Resting at the Cross.” When the last note was sung, and a holy calm seemed resting upon the assembly, a prayerful benediction was uttered by the pastor, and the large company, youths and sages, slow ly dispersed, all without doubt pleased and profited, as were we, by the child ren’s Christmas services.

Tho mucous membrane which lines the chambers of the nose, aud its little glands, are diseased, so that they draw from the blood its liquid, and ex posure to the air changes it into cor ruption. This life-liquid is needed to build up the system, but it is extracted, and the system is weakened by the loss. To cure, gain flesh aud strength by using Dr. Price’s Golden Medical Discovery, which also acts directly upon thesq glands, correcting them, and apply Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy with Dr. Pierce’s Nasal Douche, the only method of reaching the upper cavities where tho discharge accumu lates and c imes from. The instrument and both medicines sold by druggists and dealers in medicines. dec2B-tuthsa&c Delays are always dangerous in mat ters pertaining to health as well as Either interest. A slight cold excites no alarm, perhaps it will get well of itself if let alone, possibly it may, but per haps it will not. A bottle of the cele brated Horae Stomach Bitters is a sure fortification against the attacks of this insiduous and universal foe. dec2B-tuth&c Letters from Druggists. —There is no case of Dyspepsia that Green’s August Flower will not cure. Come to the Drug Stores of Barrett & Land and F. A. Beall and inquire about it. If you suffer from Costiveness, Sick Headache, Sour Stomach, Indigestion, Liver Com plaint, or derangement of the Stomach or Liver, try it. Two or three doses will relieve you. Boschee’s German Syrup is now sold in every town and city in the United States.

Strange that persons will use worthless extracts when such natural flavors as Dr. Price’s are to bo had.

Assignee Estate Edw. Perrin, Bankrupt, decia-su* APPLETON’S AMMAN HOniA NEW REVISED EDITION. ENTIRELY REWRITTEN BY THE ABLEST WRITERS ON EVERY SUBJECT. Printed, from New Type, and Illustrated with several Thousand Engravings and Maps. The work originally published under the Dtleof THE NEW AMERICAN CYCLO PAEDIA was completed iu 1863, since which time, the wide circulation which it has at tained in all parts of the United States, and the signal developments which has taken place in every branch of science, literature and art, have induced the editors and üblishei s to submit to an exact and thoro ugh revision, and to issue anew edition en titled THE AMERICAN CYCLOPEDIA. Within the last ten years the progress of discovery in every department of knowl edge has made anew work of reference an imperative want. The movement of political affairs has kept pace with the discoveries of science, anil their fruitful application to the indus trial and useful arts, and the convenience and refinement of social life. Great wars and consequent revolutions have occurred, involving national changes of peculiar moment. Ihe civil war of our owu count try, which was at its height when the last volume of the old work appeared, has happily been ended, and a new course of commercial and in dustrial activity has been commenced. Large accessions to our geographical knowledge Have been made by the indefatigable ex plorers of Africa. Tho great political revolutions of the last decade, with the natural result of the lapse of time, have brought into public view a multitude of new men, whose names are in every one’s mouth, and of whose lives every one is curious to know the par ticulars. Great battles have been fought and itnpoi taut sieges maintained, of which the details are as yet preserved only in the newspapers or in the transient publications of the day, but which ought now to take their place in permanent and authentic history. In preparing the present edition for the press, it has accordingly been the aim of the editors to bring down the information to the latest possible dates, and to furnish an accurate account of the most recent discoveries in science, of every fresh pro duction in literature, and of tho newest inventions in the practical arts, as well as to give a succinct.and original record of of the progress of POLITICAL AND HISTORICAL EVENTS. The work has been begun after long and careful preliminary labor, and with the most ample resources l'or carrying it on to a successful termination. None of the original stereotype plates have been used, but every page has been PRINTED ON NEW TYPE, Forming in fact anew Cyclopaedia, with the same plan and compass as its predeces sor, but with a far greater pecuniary ex penditure, and with such improvements in its composition as have been suggested by longer experience and enlarged knowl edge. the illustrations. Which are introduced for the first time in the present edition, have been added not for the sake of pictorial effect, but to give greater lucidity and force to the explana tions in the text. They embrace all branches of science and of natural history, and depict the most famous and remarka ble features of scenery, architecture and art, as well as tiie various processes of mechanics and manufactures. Although intended for instruction rather than em bellishment, no pains have been spared to insure their • ARTISTIC EXCELLENCE. The cost of their execution is enormous, and it is belived they will find a welcome reception as an admirable feature of the Cyclopedia, and worth -’ of its high charac ter. This work is sold to subscribers only, payable on delivery of each volume- it wiit be complete in Sixteen Large Octavo Volumes, each containing about 800 pages, fully illustrated with several thousand Wood Engravings, and witii numerous colored Lithographic Maps.
