Providential Enenpe—Presence of Kind.
On Sunday last a? Mrs. I. M. Ken.
—. ney, of this city, was standing with
her back to the fire, her dress caught
and quickly blazed to the waist, crisps
and burning the edge of a woolen
shawl. By the noise of the flame she
found out her situation, when she
instantly sat down on the floor, and
folding the other parts of her dress
over the flame, extinguished the fire
without receiving the slightest burn.
This remarkable presence of mind
we commend to all our readers. If
the clothes catch fire, quietly smother
the flumes. The usual course—getting
excited and rushing around for'help—
is sure to make matters worse, and it
has caused the death of many. Mrs.
Kenney’s act was as rare as it is corns
mmdabte. If she had lost her pres
ence of mind, who c: n tel] what the
result might have been ?
In Extremis.”
It is said that a negro wo
Athens was so reduced bv the late
cold weather, that she opened a shuck
m itiO'S on which she slept, and used
the shucks lor luei—hornin' only a
small handful at a time, to make them
last as long as possible.
The Cooks.
Five families «*i one neighborhood
in Athens, lest their kitchen servant?
New Yem’s, an,! ol course had 'o do
their own cooking tor a while. The
average cook is beset by the idea that
some other place is better than the
one that he or she is in ; and the oft-
cner they cliauge their cooking-stoves,
the more they burn their fingers.

Death from Lockjaw.
A mute belonging to Gann and
Reaves stuck a nail in one foot Wed
nesday night. Yesterday morning,
he was discovered to have lockjaw,
lie suffered a great deal—his hinds
legs gradually straightening out be>
hind until he sank to the floor, on liis
stomach. As he came to this position,
his backbone broke, with an audible
crack. He was- killed lo put an end
to his suffering.

The Beat Medium.
The best medium to advertise in is
always the paper you prcler to read
yourse’l, for the presumption is that
it you prefer it, others also do. As
you want your advertisement read by
the most people, the fact that you
preler to read a certain paper is an
uumistakable indication that it will be
read most in it. Advertisements are
valued according to the number of
readers a paper has, its character and
that of its readers, and the field its
circulation covers. It you will always
beat these facts in mind and select a
paper that ban those requisites, adver
tising will pay as well as any invest
ment that can be made.—Ex.
Entertainment at Mr. SteraY.
Quite a pleasant party of the re! a-
tives and friends of Mr. Charles Stern
and his family assembled at his resis
dence on Sunday alternoon in honor
ot the confirmation of his son, Master
Jacob. The dinner was superb; it
would liave been difficult to excel it
New York city—so say those who
partook—and all was the product of
the rare culiuary skill of Mrs. Stern.
After diuner. the hours were passed
with music and pleasant social con
verse, until supper time, wheu another
elegant repast was served.
One very pleasaut feature of tlie
occasion was the presentation, to Rev.
Dr. Gluck, by Mr. Stern, ot a very
handsome suit of clothes, made in
New York expressly for him. In one
of the pockets was a $10 bill, a present
from Master Jacob, as a testimonial
to the doctor’s fidelity as a teacher.
It is not inappropriate to say that
during Dr. Gluck’s residence here he
has been remarkably successful iu
teaching the children of bis congrega-
tion. He has been faithful and zeal
ous, aud we arc glad that his labors
have been appreciated.
llte Methodist Messenger.
Athens will have a new paper next
week. It will be called the Metho
dist Messenger, and will be issued
monthly by Rev. W. W. Wadsworth,
pastor of the First Methodist Church.
Its object will be—in general terms—
the building up of the church in
terests in Athens. There are about
six hundred Methodists in Athens, and
Mr. Wadsworth wants to put the
Messenger into the bands of every
one of them. This is a good move
ment, and one which will be produc
tive of much benefit to the church.
It will tend to unite the members,
more thoroughly in spirit and in deed,
and will unquestionably be instru
mental in increasing the enterprise
and aggre-siveness • of the church.
Every city with enough members of
any particular church to warrant it,
should have a church organ of this
kind, though this is the first, we be
lieve, that ever was published in this
state. We wish it the largest success

confirmation of Master Jacob Stern.
Yesterday was bis thirteenth birth
day, and according to the Jewish law,
was the time for him to assume the
obligations of a member of the con
gregation. Quite a good congrega
tion was present, and the confirmation
took place after the usual Sabbath
services.
The applicant read extracts from
the ioly Scriptures, appropriate to
the occasion. Then the rabbi, Rev.
Dr. Gluck, preached a most excellent
discourse. He congratulated the par
ents on their son’s having arrived at
this age, after passing through the
dangers and uncertainties that beset
every life. He addressed wise and
fatherly counsels to the applicant.
He exhorted him especially to culti
vate five essential things—IrutbiuW
ness, love, righteousness, sympathy
and virtue. Each oueof these was
dwelt upon and appropriately ap
plied.
Closing, he called Jacob forwurl
aud examined him as to his know
ledge of the history and religion of
Judaism, as lo the different articles
of belief, and as to the ten command
ments. The latter Jacob repeated one
at a time in Hebrew, and then tran
slated them and explained their full
meaning and their bearing upon acs
lual life. Some prayers were said,
the b’essing of the parents and of the
priest were given him, and the certi
ticale of confirmation was handed to
him by Dr. Gluck. Jacob then de
livered a brief address acknowledging
the obligations whioh the confirma
tion imposed, thanking his patents

Savings Banks.
Savings Banks, paying 5 or 6 per
cent, on deposits, are multiplying in
Georgia and over the South. This is
a hopeful eign. A safe and well-
managed Savings Bank is a vast public
and private benefit. All good banks
are immense helps to communities.
Their value can scarcely be over
estimated. But the great feature in
a Savings Bank is that it saves in tho
aggregate a very large amount oth-
erwise wasted, and in time creates a
capital which but for it would have
bad no existence. It educates hun
dreds to care and economy. A man
who i-aves fifty dollars# year is a wiser
■nan than when he made it, and the

than the g« ttiog of it. We should

A Cily Physician.
IVe learn that a proposition is be-
fore the city council to appoint a city
physician, whose duty it shall be to
attend such of the citizens as cannot
pay for medical services, and whose
compensation for such services shal]
be paid by the city. This measure
ought certainly to pass. Indeed, it is
strange that a city of the size of Ath
ens has not long ago seen the necessity
for a city physician and provided for
that necessity. People in good cir
cumstances frequently find it difficult,
in the extreme, to pay their doctor’s
bills; and there are in every comma*
nity as large as Alliens many to whom
it is impossible. What is the result ?
They become a tax on physicians,
every one ot whom is too humane to
refuse his services to the needy poor
But it is not right that the burden
should fall on the physicians.
Enough ot their labor goes uncompen
sated, without impo-ting on them the
butden ol attending the poor unpaid.
Clearly it is the duty of the city to
provide for those who cannot pro
vide ■ for themselves in this particu
lar. With proper safeguards thrown
around it—which is easily enough
done—the office of city physician
ought to be established at once.

The Catholic Church.
Tlie proceeds ot the raffle of the
buggy for the benefit of St. Joseph’s
Catholic church of this city, amount
ed, in the aggregate, to quite a hand
some sum. On the 1st of January,
all debts against the church grounds
were paid off preparatory to the erec
tion of the new church. We under
stand that Bishop Gross, ot Savannah,
has intimated, that as soon as the new
church can be built, be will establish
a parochial school, under the charge
of the Sisters of Charity, in the old I
building now used for cburcli pur- |
poses. Such a school, it is needless to ‘
say, would prove of great benefit to
certain classes resident 1n Athens, and
there is scaicely a doubt that we will
have such a school here in the near
future.
The Catholic residents of our city
are enthusiastic over their contem
plated new church, and they assert
that the erection of a Catholic church
Athens, with a resident Priest in
charge, would bring, in the next two
years, an increase of two hundred
people to our city that we could not
get otherwise. We understand that
-on yesterday a meeting of the mem
bers of the church was held, and it
was unanimously decided to make
arrangements for building early in tbe
spring.
With this end in view, Messrs.
Robt. Gray, G. E. O’Farrell and D
D. Hurley were appointed a commit
tee, with Wm. Lafferiy, as the secre
tary, to whom the authority was given
to examine plans, specifications, &c.
for the new churoh. The committee
being composed of energetio men,
there is scarcely a doubt that they will
push the enterprise along as rapidly us
circumstances will permit, and we
confidently predict that ere long, the
Classic City” will be further enrich
ed by the addition of a new school
and a handsome church.
viding for him, and also thanking Dr.
Gluck for his teachings.
After chanting psalms and a prayer,
the congregation was dismissed—first
having been invited by Mr. and Mrs.
Stern to spend this evening at their
home, in honor of this event. The
exercises were very interesting and
impressive, especially to those who
did not belong to the congregation of
Israelites. The subject, Master Stem,
s a handsome, intelligent lad, aud
made a very favorable impression by
his ready replies to questions, and by
his sound and sensible addiess. We
hope the God whose service he ac
knowledged yesterday in the congre
gation may sustain him in the vows
taken, and that he may live a happy
and useful life.

Small game has fared badly since

Why Is It T
As a matter of street etiquette, we
publish the following from an ex
change :
“ It is a little odd why the gentle
men always stand right in the middle
of the sidewalk or directly on the
narrow crossing when they want to
gossip or talk business. Generally
they are so eugrossed in each' other
that they forget that the sidewalk is
not entirely their own, and do not
pretend to move when other persons
went to, pass by. We are sure that
bat a bint is needed to mem} this lit
tle breech of sidewalk etiquette.
law to come into her room, as her
child was dangerously ill. Mr.-. An
drew Prather and her husband both
responded lo the cal], and leftthtir
own infant iu bed, with apparently
nothing the matter with it.
In a short while Enoch Prather’s
child seemed to grow better, and Mr.
and Mrs. Andrew Prather returned
to their room. Going to bed again,
they no.iced that their child was very
still, and an examination revealed the
shocking fact that tlie little creature
was <lead. How it came to its sud
den death, the parents cannot tell.
It had not been unwt 11 at all, nor had
it been injured iu any way. There
is about it nothing that would indi
cate what was the cause of the un
timely death.
Mr. Enoch Prather’s child died
tbe next morning about eleven o’clock.
It is seldom that we have to record
an occurrence so rad.

This play is no'fiction but an o’er
true tale, a part of which occurred in
New York on tbe night of the great

merchant's, after a champagne supper,
wendi-d his way in tlie vicinity ot the
Old Five Points,’ where he lound a
poor woman dying in the snow. He
bore her to her home where, soon af
ter, she expired, but first leaving in

Years ago the oysters did not figure
to any extent in the finance ot this
country, but the time has arrived
when that slippery, slim-- little bivalve
plays quite an important part in our
business transaction It is estimated
that the oyster sales in New York
this winter will reach $4,500,000, and
tluu three thousand five hundred iter-
sona are there employed in ibe trade.
The exportation to European markets
has also increased to such an extent
that perhaps one hundred thousand
barrels will be shipped this season.
