Heggie Bros, sold eighty four head during the week, at fair fair prices, while Toler sold thirty-five. We were un able to obtain returns from other stable men, but presume they sold a large number. The season is now about drawing to a close, as planters have about concluded ar rangements for the coming crop. Sales of Real Estate. Sir. M. Hyams yesterday sold to Caleb Stetson, Esq., of Boston, Mass., on private terms, a plantation of 560 acres, situated about nine miles from the city on the Sa vannah dirt road. Mr. Stetson is the gentleman who came South some time since in search of a pleas ant winter resort and had the good judg ment to select Augusta. A Handsome Monument. A handsome monument —fifteen feet high will soon be placed at the grave of Mr. Patrick Quinn in the City Cemetery. Mr. Theo. Markwalter had the contract for fur nishing the monument. It is a remarkably fine piece of work and will reflect great credit on Mr. Markwalter and all the work men in his employ. The contract for a Confederate soldiers monument at Waynesboro, Ga., was award ed to Mr. Markwalter by the Burke County Memorial Association, and he is now en gaged upon it. It will be shipped to Way nesboro and placed in position at an early day. ... The Colonade Hotel, Philadelphia, Pa., exhibits the secret of its great popularity and success by wisely main taining its old standard of excellence since its reduction of rates. febH-6 AND-SO-FORTHS. —First Sunday in Lent. —More moderate last night. --Not a miss—a pretty widow. —Sparrows are beginning to build. —lts six o’clock these days before dark. —Coming to grief—meeting trouble half way. —Man wants bnt little here T>elow, and don’t get that. —The sige of the Electoral Commission appears to be 7xß. —Love and malice ran riot through the mails the past week. —There is a “ Gem ” of purest rye ’ere sOsn on Broad street.

The young man whose absence was noticed at the hop at the Globe Hotel last week, has come to light. He mistook a bottle of varnish for hair oil, concluded that danciDg was a frivolous entertainment, and kept away from the ball. But when in quisitive friends asked him at the dinner table yesterday why he stayed away and wh it had become of his mustache, he told them an unvarnished tale. Improved City Directory.

One of the most painfully heart rending accidents occurred Friday night, near AiKen, South Carolina, which we have been called upon to chronicle for a long time. Mrs. T. W. Cowart, wife of a good citizen of Aiken county, was in her room, standing before a bureau-glass, dressing her hair before leav ing for a party, when her little daughter, who was standing near her, pulled a pistol from the drawer and began handling it, when it was accidentally discharged, the ball entering near the top of the hip-bone of the mother, inflicting a supposed mortal wound. Death of Mr. A. J. Hulsey. We are exceedingly pained to announce the death, by consumption, of this gentle man, which occurred in this city yesterday morning at 4 o’clock, at the residence of his kinsman, Mr. W. C. Sanders. Mr. Hul sey was a citizen of Atlanta aud had been in a precarious state of health for a long time, and his death was not altogether un expected. He was the brother of Col. W. H. Hulsey, who has been in the city several days, and carried the remains to Atlanta by last night’s train. Mr. Hulsey,leaves a young wife, but no children. In former years the writer was associated with the deceased in a most pleasant busi ness relation and can truly say he never saw aught to condemn in the character of his friend. He was true, honorable and worthy, and his loss will be felt within the large circle of friends and relations which surrounded him in life. — Robberies. On Thursday night, the residence of Mrs. Freeman on Greene street, between Lincoln and Houston streets was broken into and nearly all the provisions in the house stole n On the same night, Mr. T. O. Browns house on Ellis street, below Centre, was en tered aud a large amount of his provisions taken. It is very evident that both these rob beries were committed by the same person, from the fact that a bottle of wine, which traa identified ao the property of AXro. Free man, was foundjon the floor of Mr. Brown’s pantry, which the thief in his hurry to escape undoubtedly forgot to take with him. No clure to the thief has as yet been obtained. — Payson’s English Opera. The press, wherever, this splendid troupe has performed, speak in very high terms of it. The Macon Telegraph, of last Wednes day says of the opera of “Martha” “that it had never been so well performed before on the Macon stage. The voices are all first class, and in first-class tune as well. The costumes were really excellent, and the stage effects, while not extravagant, were within keeping of admirable management, and were all that could be wished for in a perfect representation of Flotow’s choicest work.” This company opens an engagement at the Augusta Opera House next Wednesday evening and remains throe nights, and at Saturday matinee. Personal. Mr. W. A. Shorter, one of the prominent lawyers of Atlanta, and au alternate elec tor on the Tilden ticket in the late election, spent the day in the city yesterday. He is wonderfully pleased with Augusta and its surroundings—especially the Sand Hill. Our friend and contemporary, Mr. John L. Maxwell, of the O. and 8. , left a few days ago for a trip North and West. The Augusta Shoe House, Have just received at 233 Broad street, op posite Masonic Hall a large and carefully selected stock of gentlemen, ladies and misses shoes, which they offer at Bottom prices. Lecture in Aiken. We make our acknowledgements for an invitation to attend a lecture to be delivered in Aiken next Wednesday evening, at the Presbyterian church, by Captain Oscar Coles, for the benefit of the Baptist church of that place. Capt. Coles has achieved quite an envia ble reputation in that line nnd the citizens and visitors in that delightful village are indebted to him for several pleasant even ing. The ladies of Aiken are doing all in their power to rebuild the beautiful church so ruthlessly destroyed last year by incen diaries. That Ten Cents Convict. Several days since our reporter gave an account of the sentence, in the County Court, of a negro named McGebee to twelve months at the brick yard, for stealing ten cents. The negro was guilty of the theft, but it was not that offence for which he received sentence. He was charged with being a vagrant and a common thief, to both ot which charges he plead guilty; hence the sentence. This is the third time the same boy has been sent out from this Court for larceny. He is one of the worst negroes in the county. Hon. Henry Hillyer, of Fulton. No member of our present Legislature has made more solid reputation than Henry Hillyer. He is not only dauntless and saga cious in the emergencies of practical poli tics, but his honor is without stain, and in Atlanta his name is almost a synonymn for loyalty to truth, and to a wise and conscien tious discharge of duty. Mr. Hillyer is now serving his first term in the Legislature, and has already laid for himself the ground work for future prefer ment in politics. The best and cheapest in the world. Dr. Bull’s Gough Syrup only costs you 25 cents, and if it does not cure your cough you can get your money back. P. 1. NOTES. Beavies of beauties abroad yesterday. Better times are coming and going al ways. Mr. Stephens gets better when Garibaldi gets worse. Jupiter will be an evening star after to morrow evening. See-sessionists at Washington—specta tors in the galleries. The little bunches of pinbacks were all over town yesterday. One step towards God is better than a thousand towards glory. Death is catching up with the war-admi rals, four having died within a month past. It is now firmly believed that the elec of Hayes was done by the broad steal of a State. A Wool monument is to be erected at Troy. It will be a soft thing for the con tractors. A prominent youg lawyer from Atlanta is in the city on important business con nected with his profession. Miss Dudu Fletcher is the author °f| a new novel called “Kismet.” This is why the readers do as they Dudu. A Texas editor says he is pleased with State, except that the noise of the growing grass keeps him awake at night. Darwin argues that birds have religious disfinction. He would make Baptists of ducks and lay members of hens. feKev. Mr. Trotter has charge of “a cliurck ia Barnwell, South Carolina. He ought to get through with his sermons quick. Cat serenades are now fashonable. Young gentlemen from a distance visiting their junipers in this city should be prepared for ■quawis. Mrs. Oates, the opera singer, is suffering from an attack of rheumatism, and, it is said, will not go upon the stage again for several months. The Egyptian minister of finance is Kamil, and in the present condition of the country they seem' very near the last straw which breaks the Kamil’s back. Mr. Proverbial Philosophy Tapper, now in Savannah, has two daughters who write poetry. One of them can give Harris, of the Constitution, points and beat him. Gov. Kemper says the annual value of all the oyster fisheries of Virginia is $20,000,- 000. But perhaps the Governor, with the connivance of Schneider, is only trying to stuff us. The editor of the Baltimore Gazette a-n nounces, without fear of contradiction, that “there are more beautiful women in Balti more than in any other locality upon the face of the habitable globe.” That’s the kind of women we have in Augusta, sir. An object of profound admiration is the Patient Female who languidly stands in a prominent place in a public audience, till some gentleman gives her his own good seat and himself retires to the back of the room. Such self-forgetfulness on her part is separated by a narrow line trom b—ld— z—g. This is the Western style of managing the Enoch Arden business: Henry M. Stevens parted from his wife to go to the Kansas State prison, to serve out a sentence of five years. She vowed fidelity; but, on 1 hearing a false report that he was dead, she married John Steinman. Stevens returned home from prison to find his wife happy with another; but he did not go so quietly away and leave them to their happiness. He shot Steinman, killing him instantly, 1 and brutally whipped the woman. i It is said that in one of ths committee rooms of the Georgia Legislature, three gas jets were burning. “Retrenchment and Reform!” cried Mr. Fry; “bring in a lamp and turn out the gas; the State can’t stand this expense.” “Reform and Retrench ment!” shrieked Mr. Turner, “bring in a caudle; this lamp is too expensive.” “Hold!’’ retorted Senator Reese; “just look at the moon; blow out the caudle.” Hence it ap pears that in the final analysis retrench ment and reform simmer down into cheap moonshine.

Editor : In yesterday’s paper you mention that a Reynoids str -et Clerk whip ped another boy for sending his sweetheart an impertinent valentine. This is wrong and does one party such injustice, that I deem it a duty, being acquainted with the facts, to say in the first place, the accused had no connection whatever with ‘‘the val entine question” and that the item “whip ped” is unjust, as the tioys were separated and arrested befoie the fight was decided. All who know the second party in this af fair, especially his antagonist, will take pleasure in endorsing this explanation, and acknowledging that he is a most thorough and brave little gentleman, as proven by his conduct ou yesterday. Justice. [We desire to state in addition to the above note, that the little item in yester day’s paper was only intended as a bit of pleasantry, incident to the occasion, and no intention to even wound the feelings of either of the young gentleman was our ob ject. Indeed, we did not learn, and neither do we now know, the names of either of the parties.] Improvements. Supt Morrison and his active force were yesterday engaged in grading the beautiful drive along East Boundary street. The new ice house, for the Augusta Ice Company, on Eilis street, just below Jack son has been nearly completed. It will be ready to receive the enormous slock of ice made during the Winter season in about a week. Mr. R. J. Bo we is the contractor. BUSINESS NOTICES.
