A Railroad Archlent. There was an accident to a freight train on the Georgia road, at Oconee station early yesterday morning. We could not leern the causo of it, nor any particulars as to the damage done—only that it was a “big smash- up.’’ The injury to the road was so great that it could not be repaired yesterday. The day traiu from Augusta went to the break and the passengers and mails were transferred. This train hnd not returned from the place of disaster, at the time the Athens branch train left Union Point yester day afternoon—which was about lour o'clock. Nobody was hurt in the ac cident. Marriage in Linwootl. Saturday morning at the residence of the bride’s father in Linwood Mr. J. II. Hamilton, of Athens, and Miss Saliie Watt were united in marriage, Rev. Howard W. Key, of tho female college, performing the ceremony. The happy couple left on the 7 a. m. train for Atlanta en route for the home of the bride groom. The bride is the daughter of Mr. T. J. Watt and is a young lady of many accomplishments and a lovely disposi tion. The young gentleman who claims her for his wife has secured a treasure who will be a help-mate to him through life and who will adorn the Athens society.— Columbus En quirer, 10th. Musical Literary.

We unfortu nately arrived late and did not hear the first two pieces on the programme, which were: an overture from the Barber of Seville, by Misses Stovall and Harris, and a selection from Lu cia de Lainmcrmoor, by Bliss Mary Nicholson. Miss Jessie Hanson recited “ Char ley Machree” in such a manner as to bring before her hearers most vivid' ly, the pathetic scene she depicted. Miss Maggie Morton sang “ Love’s Messenger'” with very line effect. Her voice is much above the ordinary, and needs only culture to bring it to much perfection. Miss Luila Hollcnan played “Promenade du Matin,” skill fully and expressively. Bliss Mamie Newton’s imitation of the negro dia lect, iu reciting “Wilyurn’s Water- uiillicu,” was remarkably good. Prof. Pad will restore health and strength. Signs In the Heavens. The people of Athens who were on the streets just before dark Thursday afternoon witnessed a strange sight, and one which caused much conjecture for a time. In the Western sky, at something less than forty-five degrees above the horizon, a very brilliant meteor appeared, and made its way upward and onward. Its direction was towards the north and its course was not direct anil steady, hut it seemed to pause for an instant, then take another leap, than another pause and so ou.

The large two-story wooden residence of Mrs. Masoo, on Oconee street, caught fire on the root, from a defective chimney. The alarm quick ly : plead, and the people very gener ally responded. The fire department turned out promptly, but did not get further than Broad street, as they then received information that it was not’necessary to go fuither. Those who reached the house first, got on the roof, and in a few minutes extinguished the fire. So quickly was it done, that only a few shingles wetc burnt. The damage was very slight. following attractive programme was presented: 1. Quartette, vocal, Misses Flem ing, Bliss Stanley and Mr. Thos. Stanley. 2. Recitation, Mr. J. J. Camp. 3. Duett, vocal.

Hearing an unu-ual racket in our range Saturday afternoon about dusk, we armed ourselves with an Indian club and coal sctilde and peered cau tiously without. The scene which met our slartTcd gaze will long remain in memory as a horrible.phantom. Our brave \oung friend BIr. E. T. Brown, perched upon the stair^railings, was engaged with a broom and bucket of water, in fierce conflict with a fero cious lookin gyellow dog—“a one-eyed ornery cuss.” Closing our door and mounting a table we assisted with shower of missiles from the transonic light.

Williams, who has them in charge, we have been permitted to examine I the plans for the new house tor Pio-.! neer Hook and Ladder Company. The drawings are the work of Mr. Owen L. Williams, and they are as fine speciment of the draughtsman’s skill as one could wish to see. The. Pioneer house will be two stories high, in the Gothie style, with tower on the left front corner, with belfry and observatory iu it. There will also be a place for a clock, which ought to be put in if possible. The house will be about 40 by 53 feet, and the tower will be about 65 feet high. On the ground floor, the main room will be nsed for the hook and ladder truck and the Babcock engine. In one corner there will be two stalls and a feed room for the horses. There will be a bed room for the driver, just in the rear of the tower, and another corner will contain a lavatory and a water-closet. The upper story will contain the hall, the steps to which ate in the tower. Each end will have a large bay window of handsome proportions The front part will be cut off into a sort of vestibule-, in one end of which will be a ladies’ lavatory, tor the nse of visitors. At the other end will be two enclosures, after the fashion of large cupshoards, which are intended for keeping the uniforms and other such property of the company. It is doubtful if there will be a finer fireman’s hall in Georgia. It is to occupy the corner of Jackson and Matket streets, and will be a great ornament to that part of the city. The Piopeers now have about $3,- 000 in their treasury. Efforts will be made before Tong to raise what ever other fiiuda are needed to build the house. Bids from contractors are now bring solicited for building' the bouse, and as soon as a satisfactory one is received, the work will be be gun.

A brilliant instrumen tal solo by Prof. Buttel closed this delightful entertainment AN OBVIOUS CONCLUSION. No person who was present at this entertainment could help seeing that n suitable chapel for the Institute is a necessitv. We cannot help believing that sufficient.fuuds could be obtained for the erection of a chapel, if a .be ginning were made and the matter was put in the hands of the right men. So far as we can learn, Athena was never yet lacking in liberality, when ever a public enterprise was on foot; and we do not believe she would be in this case, if the right stops were (For the Banner.) The North-Eastern Directory, was the regular meeting day, and at the appointed honr the presi dent whistled, and the directors took oft’ their hats. Tire secretary wad the minutes in a peculiar voice ? which was unmistakable evidence that he lias two voices —one for weighty, business like minute-reading, and another whose dulcet tones were employed to soothe the cry of pain. The minutes were read aud adopted. What el-e could have been done with them, when they only said the board met and short'y adjourned ? This time the superintendent had a report to’make, and when that offi cial appeared leaning on the arms of two directors, there was a teeble effort at applause, llis report was an able one; it stated that tiie business of the oad for the past month had been good; that the officials were competent: that the track was not too rough ; that the engines were two in number, and that the train had at rived twice on time during the month. The opinion of all was that the report was a good one, and the superintendent received the plaudit ‘tceU donu.’ Die able director who had been conferring with * P. A. S.’ in reference to the extension ot the road, s.tid it was his otunion, as well ns the opin ion of * P. A. S.,’ that if the proper overtures were made to 'he company who represented ten millions ot dol lars, the road would soon be com pleted to its proposed termination Ho suggested that 4 H. W. G.’ and 4 P. A. S.’ be giveu full authority in the matter, and was confident that the road would be built in one year. He supported his suggestion ill an able speech and cited the Georgia Wes tern, which had been built (?) by the sole efforts of ‘II. W. G.’ and pointed to the increasing business of Augusta as the result of ‘P. A. S.’ Knoxville route. His remarks made a deep impress siou on the magnates present, anil at. cue time it seemed as if his suggestion would he adopted. But a director with sonic judgment asked how these two men could complete the exten sion. 4 Easy enough,’ was his reply and he mumbled something about the Constitution and another ore of the big dailies. His suggestion tell flat after a warm supporter of the ‘powers that be’ sug gested the election of Joe Brown as president. The Baptist portion of the directory took to the idea immediate ly, but there was a good sprinkling of other church members in the hoard, and this was voted down. Then an intelligent director made the suggestion that the present forty miles of the road be sold, and the purchase money applied to the build ing of the extension. This look won derfully well—the whole board was electrified by the brilliant suggestion, and an officer in the next room said it was a divine inspiration. A vote ol thanks was tendered the mover of this admirable suggestion, and the prospects of the speedy extension were imbed bright when the civil engineer walked iu. The plan was told him ; he started ; a smile of happiness fit up his countenance, but it remained there only for an instant, and the wonted, sad expression came baek. Taking a piece of chalk he marked <>r. a board the following • 40 mile* equipped rood will *ell for ... $250,000 30 miles roiui, grade und equipped, will cost 300,000 Balance against road 50.000 with ten miles less road. The board iooked at the calculation for a long time, and one director made ten marks on the board and then rubbed out five and said the calcula tion was correct. -A solemn silence rested on the extension builders. Then hope rose once more iu the hearts of all, when a director whose well known intelligence gave torcc to his remarks, said there was in town a new paper called the Reporter, which answ -red questions of all kinds with wonderful accuracy, and with a large amount of foresight, and he moved that the wfcoie nutter he referred to that pa per. This was deemed best and the secretary wrote the following: Athens, Dec. 11th, 1S80.

Athens have new pastors for the en suing year. Rev. Blessrs. Yarbrough and Branham were quite popular with their congregations, and will be given up with much regret. Both were de sired to be returned, but tbe authori ties thought it best that it should be otherwise. The new pastor of the Oconee street church, wc are not acquainted with. He is known to'many of the members, however, and they speak ot him as being very acceptable. Rev. Mr. Wadsworth, we know very well. He is young—being about thirty—but is one of the best preach ers in the conference, and is so es teemed by his fellow-ministers. He is a scholar and a student; a raacrof natural gifts aud of culture. As a preacher, he is bold, incisive, plain and strong. lie preaches the pure ;ospol without reference to the tradi tions of men. He is ardent in tem- perameut and zealous in work. His piety is warm and true and deep, and liis earnestness is contagious. In his methods lie is skillful and enterprise inp. Iu a word, he is well adapted to work, and he does not shirk it. Ho lias been in the ministry about ten years, and ditriug that time has held positions as important and re sponsible os liis present charge. From an intimate acquaintance witli him, we have no doubt that his labors in Athens will be very acceptable to his cherch, and very fruilhd. In per sonal appearance, he is strikingly handsome, aud in bis tuauuers, he' is genial and affable.

Tiie lovers oi the drama will be de lighted to learn that Bliss Ada Gray, the great emotional sfetress, who so delighted our people some weeks ago, is to give our city another visit uext week. On Wednesday night she will play Lucretia Borgia. Hers are all “taking” plays. They arc received, as rendered by Miss Gray’s Company, with the utmost satisfaction whenever presented. The Cincinnati Commercial says: 44 Bliss Gray was magnificent as Lu cretia Borgia; a part of her grand voice and superb physique peculiarly fits her for. Her costumes in this were particularly elegant, and espe cially the one of black velvet, with black lace mantle and jet coronet, she made a picture as she parted tiie crimson curtains at tiie hack of thc stage and stood before the company of roistering young cavaliers, tri umphant, revengetul woman, calctis lated to stay long in the memories who saw her. For a portrayal of ma lignant, releutless hatred, as given in her scene with the Duke when Gen- naro is momentarily expected, we have never seen her surpassed.’’ The Jefferson News says: “If the Northeastern railroad is ever com pleted the Athena Banner cau con gratnlate itself over the fact that it has rendered material assistance to tqe enterprise,” (Gleaned from the Pupcrs.)

The Eagle says that the pad which was worn by the British army in In dia, is for sale in Gainesville. How Hid that army wear that pad ?
