—Sixteen vessels in p irt last week.
—Vacation begins lo-duy in the
Public Schools of this city.
—-The past week lias been a good
one for‘‘tater vines.”
—Times are hard in B., but harder
elsewhere, if reports be true.
—We welcome on our exchange
list, this week, “Every Saturday/'
published by I. L. Hunter, at .Mil-
ledgoville, Gjt. A live sheet. , .
—Vegetation fairly leaps under tho
impulse given by recent showers.
—Mrs. Kimbrough, so long identi
fied with the school interests of our
city, leaves us in a few days for an *
other home. She will carry with her
the good \jrishes of many friends.
—Grfeat man’s minds run in the
same channel—so said, but we rather
doubt it. Some of our great men pay
up their subscription promptly, whilst
others do not.
—L. B. Toomar Lodge (colored)
celebrated St. John’s day by proces
sion through our streets, headed by
fife and drum. Why not get up a col
ored band, friends, and thus vary
your style of music?
—PlufFers have recently taken the
place of marbles with our boys around
town, and an unceasing pop—pop
greats the ear of the pusser-by at al
most every corner. We always had
a weakness for pop-guns in our boy
hood days, and even now, we can’t
refrain from borrowing one occasion*
nlly from some lad, just to take a few
shots.

—The colored Masons of Darien,
together with others not members of
the Order, visited our city last week,
and gave an entertainment at the Ris-
ley School for the benefit of their
Lodge: Prom all that we can learn,
they did not carry away any more
stamps than they brought with them.
Cleared expenses, however.
—Why will boys misbehave at all
public entertainments in this place?
Mrs. Kimbrough wishes us to ask
•■why parents insist on going to bed
themselves on such occasion and
seuding their children out to annoy
other folks, instead of putting them to
bed and attending the school exer
cises themselves, and thus eucourag- *
ing both teachers and children." Wo
fear some folks don’t know how bad
their boys are when they get from
under the eyes of father and mother.
—Members of Ocean Lodge, to
gether with their families and a few
visiting friends, excurted to 8t. Si
mons on St. John’s day. We regret
exceedingly * our inability to accon-
pnuy them. We learn, however, tha
all parties came back highly pleased.
Mr. Mallory King, the present owner
of the old Tom-Butler-King place,
"Retreat/ 1 opened his doers to
the excursionists and bade them wel
come, doing all in his power to make
their stay on the island as pleasant as
possible. One of the feutures of the
exenrsion was an afternoon clam bake,
served at five o’clock. Guess friend
Flanders, of the Jesup House, had a
"finger in that pie.” The brethren
and friends then re-embarked, and
after a short run reached B. in safety.
—Mr. F. Leben has just received a
fine lot of fancy candies, such as gum-
drops, creamB, etc. Gall on him,
young gent, just before storting to see
your "duck.”
—The Jesup Georgian, Hiram Ben
nett Proprietor, comes to us this week
for the. first time. It in indeed a neat
ly gotten iip sheet. Our former typo.
Mr. (ioodbread, Las a baud iu its

gency. .
—The cry is “still they go.” Sev
eral more of our citizens leave on the
next New York steamer for the sum
mer. A pleasant trip to you, friends.
Don’t stay any longer than possible,
however.
Wheeler and Wilson Sexring
Machine.
Mr. Berrien Moore of this city lias
been appointed agent for the sale of
the above machines in this section.
He enters at once upon bln dtttied, is
well supplied with machines, and can'
furnish everything in his line. He
has been furnished a splendid team,
and will canvass the surronuding
cou.itry. We are prepared to speak
in the highest terms of the above ma-
c line, having used one in our family
fora number of years. In fact we
consider them, by far, the best ma.
chine we have ever examined. Friend
Berrien lias our hot wishes for suc
cess in his new business. - 1
FEMALKStHUOL,
Public Spelling, etc.
Pursuant to invitation of Mrs. Kim
brough, quite a number of patrons and
friends assembled at the Female
Academy, on Friday niglit last, to
witne.- s the exerci&es of the school.
The examination, taken as a whole,’
was indeed a creditable one, consisting
of spelling geographical names, read
ing extracts, etc. The feature of spe
cial interest was the reading of origi
nal letters addressed to Mrs. K., by
members of the second grammar class.
Those evinced a proficiency in the use
of words and sentences far beyond
what would bo expected of pt rsons so
young as they. Next iu order was the
reading of extracts by the older mem
bers of the school. All did so well
that we don’t like to single out any
on?, but feel constrained to say at
least this much, few young ladies
can excel Miss Katie Pouel in this
branch of study. Her pronunciation
was clear and distinct and her obser
vance of the rules of reading was very
marked. Evidently Mrs. K. has hot
lost sight of the fact that to be a
good scholar, one should first learn to
read well. The reading by the
“infants”—as Mrs B. was pleased to
eall them—was indeed creditable.
We must not forgot so mention the
speech of Master Frankie Smith,
“Try me, father, try me,” etc., which
added much to the enjoyment of the
evening. During the geographical
spelling tlie young ladies were allow-
j t d, when a difficult word was given i
them, to call on gentlemen in the au
dience to spell the somo for them.
The wilting of editora, typos, lawyers
and beaux under this trying or
deal, was simply amusing. The
exercises of the evening were inter
spersed with song by the entire
school, accompanied by Miss Myrtle
Harris, on the organ. At eleven
o’clock the performances closed, and
parents and children, some happy,
some sad, and a few sleepy, dispersed
to qheir homes, well pleased with the
entertainment of the evening.
—As we go to press, we hear oft! e
death of the little ‘n* nt of M-. .and
Mrs. Richard Walker. Though only
a week old, it. no doubt, occupied
a large place in the affections of its
fond parents. O ie more pure spir
it wafted hence to God who gave it.
Be content, stricken mother.

Sat. News, The reverend gentleman

A traveler, who sp nt some time
in Turkey, relates a beautiful parable
which was told him by a dervish, usd
which seems even mure beautiful than

two angels, one on his right shoulder
and one on his left. When lie dut*»
anything good, the angel on his right
shoulder writes it down, and seals it.
because what ri we l done is done for
ever. When he does ovii, the angel
on the lelt writes it down and
waits till mid-night. If before that
time the man bows his head and ex
claims, “Gracious Allah! I have sin
ned, forgive me!” the angel rubs out.
the record: but if not, at mid-night he
seals it, and the beloved angel ou tho
right shoulder weeps.”
