Other matters of importance will probably lie brought before the meeting. .*•- The Board of Education. The regular monthly meeting of the Rich mond County Board of Education will be held at the City Hall Saturday morning, at 11 o’clock. Several new members will be qualified and the report of important com mittees will be made. Excellent Luck. Yesterday two gentlemen from the city went over to Langley on a fishing excur sion and met with most excellent success. They caught sixty-seven fine trout, jack and bream in a little while. One gentleman caught sixteen fine trout in one place, each weighing from one pound to one pound and a half. Flower Seeds, Bulbs, &c. A large and varied assortment of gerani um and other house and bedding plants, with choice fiower seeds and fine tube rose bulbs, have been received at Pemble’s seed store, 163 Broad street, next to the Augusta Hotel and offered at lower'prices than ever before. See announcement elsewhere. Washington, No. 1. This -veteran fire company, at the last monthly meeting, decided to have anew uniform for its members, and also to pro vide two handsome new silver trumpets for the leading officers. The style of the uni forms has not yet been determined upon. The election for company officers will oc cur at an early date. Runaway. A horse attached to a buggy, belonging to a gentleman from the country was frightened by the blowing of an engine, whistle in the Georgia Railroad cotton yard yesterday morning and dashed through .Jackson street at break neck speed, not holding up until lie had upset driver and bugy and breaking seven wheel spokes of the latter. Spitz Dog Excitement. Yesterday afternoon as two ladies were coming up Broad street they met a Spitz dog near the Central Hotel, which made a spring at one of the ladies and attempted to hite her. The shock was sufficient to cause the lady to faint, and falling in the street, the dog made several efforts to bite her. Whether it succeeded or not we did not ascertain. The lady was carried home in a carriage. ■— After Marriage. To-night at the hall of the Y. M. C. A., Dr. Deems will deliver his other lecture, “After Marriage.” Those who had the pleasure of hearing this eminent divine and speaker on Tuesday evening will readily en dorse the assertion that it was one of the rarest and most entertaining literary treats Augusta has enjoyed for a long time. And the sequel to that lecture will be given to-night. Let no one fail to secure tickets during the day, as all who attend will be richly repaid for any outlay of time and money they may incur. African Colonization. A large and enthusiastic meeting of the colored portion of our population took place last night at the Springfield colored church. Several very sensible speeches were made by those on the stand, and some of the arguments, pro and con, were high ly creditable to the race. We presume that this and similar movements will end in smoke, as they very properly should. And now, while all classes are working together harmoniously, there can l>e no practical good result from the agitation of this chi merical scheme, and it should be abandoned. - The New Guano Factory. The branch factory of the Patapsco Guano Company, in this city, has bten com pleted, and is now at work making this article. The factory is situated on South Boundary street, just back of the Central Railroad, and is certainly a handsome build ing. A large number of hands have been kept constantly at work for about a month past, and since the burning of their factory in Baltimore they have been running night and day. Drays are kept running all day, hauling the guano from the factory to the different railroads for shipment. We learn that they have orders on hand which far exceed their supply. The factory building preseuts a handsome appearance, and is an ornament to the section of the city in which it is situated. The company is in a flour ishing condition.' Gen. M. A. Stovall is the manager of the Augusta branch. v • The Princess Yrturbide, daughter of ■the ex-Empress of Mexico, ,wUlle in "Philadelphia occupied apartments at the Colonnade Hotef, aud paid high compliments to its excellent maß&ge juent and quiet comfort. mh7-6 AND-SO FORTH* —The Sir Williamgoat. —Yesterday was beautiful. —Town talk—the big serenade. —Boys will be boys—they can’t be girls. —Majorities no longer rule in this coun try. —The awning business will soon be quite brisk. ... —Latest slang—“ There’s a speck on your nose.” —He who has lost confidence can lose nothing more. —As an entertaining study fphrenologv stands at the head. —A driving business—The cabman’s, and it is always fare on one side. ■ —The promising brains of too many young men end in cigarette smoke. —A wrougbt-iron bridge has been finish ed across the Tombigbee river at Columbus, Miss. —At the Florida State Fair was a stem fourteen inches long, holding fourteen or anges. —There are thirteen ex-Governors in the Senate.

Improvements. Several frame buildings are being erected on Mclntosh street, beyond the Port Royal Railroad office. Jackson and Mclntosh streets, near South Boundary, have been lately repaired, and are now in an excellent condition. The Fire Department. The aunual meeting of the Nominating Committee of Augusta Fire Department, will he held at Fireman’s Hall to-morrow night at 7:30 o’clock. Capt. J. T. Denning is the chairman of the committee. We learn that there is opposition for the offices of Chief Engineer aud First Assistant. The present incumbent, Mr. J. C. Flynn, is the only candidate as yet mentioned for the office of Third Assistant. No opposi tion, it is thought, will be offered for the position of Secretary and Treasurer. Prof. Tripp’* Lecture. The third of the course of lectures by Prof. Tripp, was delivered at the Presby terian Lecture Rood last night, to a large select and intellectual audience. The sub ject was “The Second Empire.” The lec ture was listened to with deep attention and was highly appreciated. By invitation of Mr. Shecut, the principal of the Houghton Institute, Prof. Tripp will deliver his Centennial lecture on Lafayette, at the Institute to-day, half past twelve o’clock. The public are invited to attend. The price of admission will be fifty cents. Cattle. Several lots of very fine cattle have of late been received in this market, some of the best of which were taken at fair prices by several of our leading butchers, among them Georgs Weigle, on Mclntosh street, who has a good assistant in carving in the person of Jim Cartledge. From 4j to 5 cents gross has been paid for good cattle during the past week. A General Rat Killing Time. A gentleman living near the Georgia Railroad, about sixteen miles from Augusta, started to tear down a large barn on his farm last Monday, when he and his son, who was assisting him, were met by the vanguard of an army of rats, which they attacked at once. In a very short time they slew sixty-eight rats, not counting the small mice, wlum, being tired, they drew off their forces for the time being. The gen tleman proposes next Saturday, the regular schoql tolidat; to gef SM the boys in the iiei£hlxfrb*ai'k)gelher and have a general rat killing lime. THE THOMSON ROBBERY. Recovery of $3,500 of the Stolen Funds of the McDuffie County Treasury. Several weeks since we gave our readers the particulars of the robbery in Thomson of the safe containing the funds of the Mc- Duffie county Treasury, in which the tax collector had deposited them. The matter was a profound mystery, not only to the citizens of Thomson but the public at large, and various nimors and surmises were at once put into circulation regarding the identity of the roblier and the direction in which he had gone. No time was lost in securing the services of Detective Ed. Murphy, of Atlanta, known all over Georgia and the surround ing States as one of the shrewdest and most successful detectives in the country, For three weeks Capt. Murphy has been quietly working up the case, and one day last week stopped over in this city for a few hours while en route to South Carolina. He in formed a representative of this paper at the time that he was on the trail of the robber and would certainly overhaul him in a day or so. Last Sunday he passed through Augusta on his return from South Carolina, with $2,500 of the stolen money, which amount he has paid over to the proper authorities of McDuffie county. Capt. Murphy was only engaged to re cover the thief and money, or the money, if not the thief, and for his work received over six hundred dollars. The particulars of the capture and who is Hie thief etective does not divulge, as it is a matter entirely with himself. The thief was captured near Graniteville, in South Carolina, and the money recovered from him near that place. Further than this the detective decliens to state. The original amount stolen was a little over $2,700, and the recovery of $2,500 of that amount is extremely fortunate, and the people of McDuffie have reason to con gratulate themselves upon the expertness of Capt. Murphy in his successful efforts in their behalf. Personal. Ex-Mayor S. I>. Spencer, of Atlanta, speaks of removing to Texas. Hon. John 11. Scott, of Wrightsboro, Ua., and Gen. M. W. Gary are stopping at the Central. Dr. Shirley Bragg, of Atlanta, who has been spending several days in this city, re turned home by last night’s train. John Maier, a well-known portrait-paint er, of Atlanta, committed suicide in that c ity on Tuesday, by shooting himself. Paul C. Hudson, Esq., of Thomson, and J. I). Stoney, of the Southern Express Company of Charleston, S. C., are at the Central. Mr. Davis, well known in this city, and the gentleman who built the splendtil At lanta Cotton Factory, has been in Augusta for several days. Major George T. Barnes returned to this city yesterday from a recent trip to Wash ington. Major Barnes is a member of the -National Democratic Executive Committee and has been in attendance on a meeting of that body held in Washington a few days ago.' We learn that Mr. H. I. Kimball, of At lanta, will visit Augusta in a few days, and examine the immense water-power of the city. We hope our people will give Mr. Kimball sufficient encouragement to induce him to take bold and utilize the great ad vantages the city jxissesses, which now flow idly to the sea. Col. T. S. Davant, of the Magnolia Route, J. A. Robert, Georgia Road, S. E. Boylston, of Savannah and Charleston Road and Major Pickens, of the South Carolina Road, left via Georgia Road yes terday morning for St. Louis, where a Gen eral Ticket Agents’ Convention assembles on the 9lh inst., at the Southern Hotel. D. M. Boyd, Jr., General Ticket Agent of the Pennsylvania road, and wife, E. S. Young, Assistant General Ticket Agent of the same road, and Mr. Fletcher and wife, of Indianapolis, arrived in this city yester day, via the C. ('. & A. Road, and left in a special cat via the Maguolia Route for Jack sonville, Florida. Constitution: Dr. C. F. Deems is to de liver two lectures in Augusta this week up on “Before Marriage” and “After Mar riage.” It is to be hoped that our library directors or somebody else will induce this distinguished divine to come to Atlanta and deliver us at least one lecture. I Dr. Deems delivers this evening, the second of his course of lectures, and no doubt the au dience will be much larger than on Tues day evening. His lectures are pure, chaste, and eminently practical, and should our friends in Atlanta be fortunate enough to secure a course of lectures by Dr. Deems, it would be a rare treat.] Company A, Oglethorpe Infantry. The numerous friends of this well known and highly popular military company will begladtoknow that it, too, has caught the fever, and an enthusiastic meeting was hold Tuesday evening, at which several new names were enrolled and promises of others at the next regular meeting. The officers and men have decided to rejuvinate the company and put it on a “war tooting” for the spring aud summer campaign. The military spirit is beginning to enthuse all the companies in the city. Mr Cyril Searle. The Baltimore Ectnintj Bulletin sajs: "Mr. Cyril Searle, an actor whose gei.ial manners and high merit in Ins profession have won for him the good opinion of a large number of our citizens, left Baltimore last night to fill an eugagementat Wallack’s Theatre, New Yoik. During his engage ment at Ford’s Opera House Mr. Searle fill ed a number of exacting roles; and, in light comedy particularly, became an established favorite with the public.” ■—- The Alerts. The Alert Hose Company, No. 9, which has only been organized one year, now has an active membership of forty, and is in a flourishing condition. Their reel, which has just been repainted, looks splendid, and their engine house is always kept neat, which reflects much credit upon their en gineer. The annual election of company officers will be held next Monday night. To Capt. J. T. Denning is due much of the honor for bringing the company to its present prosperous standing. A Curious Bird.] We saw yesterday afternoon, at the meat house of Geo. Weigle, a fowl which was quite a curiosity in its way. The bird was purchased by Mr. Weigle from a boy, who stated that it was killed on Lake Armistead, about four miles above the city on the ca nal. From the description given the bird is a cross between a wild goose and a muscovy duck. The beak, head and neck are those of a goqse, and the back, wings and feet are those of a duck, and the breast and legs are those of a goose. It is said by those who are familiar with fowls to be an African goose. A considerable number of people stopped to take a look at it during the day, V. I. NOT**nedies. Dr. Deems to-night.

There are at least two precedents for the inauguration of a President on the sth of March—President Monroe’s for his second term and General Taylor’s for his first. Thomas’ concerts arc attracting much at tention in this city—so much so that when he hears the sound cf a gently-raised win dow-sasli he dusts without waiting for the inevitable boot-jack. From present appearances one or the main differences between Grant and Hayes will be that while the former excited indig nation and apprehension the latter will ex cite pity and contempt. Mrs. Christiancy has stayed out in Mich igan all winter, but, remembering -.hut-’-m. the spring a young man’s fancy lightly turns to love,” she has now rejoihed the Senator in Washington. The man who originally nominated Rutherford for the Presidency turned up at the inauguration. Six hundred of him wants to be a postmaster and the other nine hundred wants to go abroad. Mrs. Boss, who is lecturing in Boston just now, tells the girls that marriage is the busi ness of their lives. According to that vi w of the case there are now over 30,000Ma5.-a --chusetts maid who are out of employment. Carson (Nev.) Tribune: When an un sophisticated Reno girl gets her pompadour panier on before, in the excitement and nervousness attendant on her wedding trip, her general resemblance to a Central Pa cific snow plough is what makes people stop and stare at her in speechless amaze ment. The ministers of the Southern Methodist Church in Mississippi are very poorly paid. The average salary is only $461.90; and the average salary of the piesiding elders is only $761.26, or 70 per cent, of the assess ment. The conference committee which reports these facts says the cause is three fold: Unconverted members, inefficient stewards and inefficient preachers or pas tors. An Oakland (Cal.) man, who had becon e jealous of liis wife, and suspected that si e was about to elope, employed the hackney ed plan of starting off oil an ostensible week’s journey and then returning on the following night. Letting himself into (he house, he concealed himself and awaited for developments, but towards the morning he fell asleep. His snores aroused the butler, who came down stairs with a gun and filled him with quail shot, under the impression that he was a burglar, and when he went up stairs he found a note stating that his wife had eloped day before. When Ferry announced that Hayes had received 185 votes, a short, thick man. with a round red face, who stood in the lobby to the rear of the Senators, said, loud enough to be heard over the hall, “You are a d—d liar!” and when Ferry announced Hayes the President-elect, the same man gieeti'iP the announcement with a hiss that would have done credit to a flock of geese. The President of the Senate up to this time had been cool and collected, but the words of the aggrieved spectator seemed to unnerve him, and he completed the annoanccrnctit of the vote with marked agitation and de scended from the stand so hastily that he almost carried off the Speaker’s gavel. Mrs. Hayes has her troubles already, hut they are confined lo dress.

The Doctor also takes up Mr. Emory Speer, the independent, and lays him on the gridiron, and then turns him over and lets the other side toast awhile. Two years ago Mr. Emory Speer tried to get between Mr. H. P. Bell and Mr. Ben Hill. Now he is trying to get between Mr. 11. P. Bell and the Democratic party. The Qtorfjiun says there is an unlimited crop of young Dctnosthe-sneezes in that county, all of whom ate anxious to make a speech, if they could procure a hall and an audience. In a spirited and well digested leading ar ticle, Dr. Carlton, in his last paper, urges upon all good Democrats the great necessity of rallying to the support of the nominee for Congress, Hon. U. P. Bell. The Doc tor himself is inak'ng speeches in that di rection. Mr. J. J. Flournoy, of Jackson county was cutting some timber on his place, on the 19th of February, and the Watchman says a heavy green chestnut three which he was cutting down fell, striking him on top of the head, and while it rendered his neck a littte stifl, no serious injury was sustained. This was certainly a wonderful escape. Two Legged Goats. A lady down on Greene street, having some beautiful japonicas and other eaily spring flowers, has been missing them for several mornings past, and she set a servant to watch night before last. It was not long betote the servant reported two very neatly dressed white men enter the yard and pro ceed to pick the choicest flowers. It might he well for all to remember that one poor fellow re now serving a two veais’ salience at llallahnn’s brick yard for steal ing two japonica plants from private yards. Joliu K. Owens. The inimitable and mirth-provoking Owens will soon be among us. He comes under the auspices of Manager Ford and is resisted by an excellent company. Of Mr. Owens it is superfluous to speak, lie is a comedian of world-wide celebrity and is better than blue-glass for restoring the cir culation of the blood. Sheridan’s great play of the “Rivals” will be presented in admirable style, and the new comedy of “Our Boys” is said to be immense.

THE WONDERFUL EGYPTIAN BLOOD-PURIFIER. IIRRIR. This incomparable 7) 7’P Tilt ITITE is a powerful A LIT. HA i ! IE, TOXIC, lil- CHTTIC, DIAPHGUt. IC, and ATTHI TS TANARUS, combining virtues which render tf invaluable an t never-failing, and by its continued use will thoroughly tradi cate all diseases of the blood. Its ingre dients are of a purely harmless extrac tion, the products gathered from, remota Egyptian Provinces, and where there is the slightest taint of disease in the sys tem, it never fails in ejecting that disease through the medium of the skin, or ex pelling it through the many and various channels of the body, thereby allowing . and, indeed, forcing all the organa into their proper normal and functional con dition. Avery brief space of time will convince any patient using it, of its Un doubted reliability and wonderful cura tive properties, it being, most tin. at stion— ablu, the very acme of medical triumphs, and the greatest discovery of the present age, in the treatment of every disease where the blood itself is primarily this seat of the lesion or disorder, such as SCROFULA and the thousand and one causes that tend to this terrible affliction, of which all civilized communities are cognizant, for Biblical Truth has assert ed that the “ bins of the fathers shall visit even unto the third and fourth gen erations,” and to P.ROKTX-DOV _V AXD ENFEEBLED COKSTITVTIOKS it is a powerful rejuvenator, causing the irrertc of man once more to assume the God-like form of manhood.

To all suffering from harassing cough and expectoration, •Tit ACUTOS offers a sound, reliable, and permanent relief. Il augments exptclo ration, and enables the patient to expel that terribly septic d-posit, which, if left without judicious treatment, must com municate its poison to the vesicular sub stance of the lung, degenerating and de stroying that most essential of organs, and ultimates only in an early and un timely death.
