WEDNESDAY, Sep, 29th 1875. Two small alarms of fire last Satur day, but prompt action and a little “cooling mixture” put a atop to both. —Two oyster • firms will operate in our city this winter, camming and shipping these luscious bivalves—so said. —A friend has asked why an addi tional cost of 85 a day for guards for prisoners? Will some one posted give him the desired information. —Wo note improvements going on at the residence of Mayor Fuller., Guess he is getting ready to take care of a goodly number of the delegates to the Agricultural Convention that meets i i February. —Humor says Mr. J, H. McCollough will erect at on early day a neat end commodious office on the Bay, on lot south .of B. ft A. R. R. office. , Re verses don’t hold him back long, it seems. —Col. DeUrukl, our indefatigable market gardener,' not content with planting vegetables, will soon sow a bed of oysters. Go thou and do like wise, ye who insist on folding your arms and grumbling at “the times.” —We are, pleased to see. \hat that welt in the cemetery is no longer an eye-sore to the ladies, having been put in good order, Hope it will be kept so, thus encouraging the fair sex in their efforts to lieautify and adorn the the last resting place of departed friends. ‘ '■> '' '• —The Fernandina Observer says that the steamers Huntsville and Mont gomery, now running to Brunswick and J ort Royal in connection with that pluue, will cease their vhits to the ubove named ports at an early day.

He died'at ten o’clock on Monday night last, of hemorrhage of the bowels. His fu neral will take *place to-day at teu o’clock from the Episcopal Church of this city. We sympathize with his stricken family, and wish for them strength to bear this sad affliction.

From all we could gather we hafr come to the cqnr ' elusion that she find ignored your place altogether, Fhaf station matter, you see, tolls a wonderful tale. We ore fully aware of the fact that the B. ft A. triune go to Tebeauville, but there to i splendid reason for it All freight coming down the Gulf Road for Hi to toft at Tebeauville by that road, aud our trains must go after it or leave it. That argument therefore falU through. But, Brother, yon fail ed to answer the right point We set Mm out with the proposition that Cross was a pine forest Until the Al bany road reached that crossing, and never would have been any thing else; in all probability, unless some other scheme of similar magnitude had been projected, finch being the case, your i tuna should keep its juvenile counte* ] nance hitherward ami uever.vC .found turning its back on the mother that gave it birth. We insist on a visit from you, believing that if you would just come down'and take a good look —an unbiased look—at our harbor and water facilities you would return to your quiet little village and, like one of old, rush through the streets and exclaim “Eureka! Eureka!” And when asked by your friends what have you found?, you would exclaim the best port south of Norkolk. Come and try it. V Fiirtf f Good Shooting,—Our young friend James Nelson, together with others, took a short tramp to the swamps' Inst week in search of game. Jim evidently knows how to handle. his fowling piece, for he brought home fifty-one squirrels as his tro phies. He reports shooting down a fine deer, but failed to get him. His “shooting irou” must be of the same stamp of one formerly owned by old- man John Parker of Liberty county, who said of it-, “Thar’s death before ’er ef she’s hilt straight.” - , DIRECT TRADE. Meeting, Speeches, , etc. 5 According to programme published in last issue, Dr. T. I). Worrall arriv ed in onr city last Thursday morning by special train from Wayorcss. The morning was spent in driving around the city and in conversation ' witlt prominent citizens, all eager to con tribute to the comfort of so distin guished a guest. At tbreq o’clock the committee, together with Dr. W., Col. Smith, “Master of the State Grange,”. Arid a few others, proceeded down the Bay in the neat steamer Godfrey Eee- blerof Fernandina, for the purpose of inspecting the harbor, bar, etc. We were forcibly struck with the thor oughness of the Doctor’s investigation, He did not take the views or opinions of any, but with the chart of the U. S. Survey before him, ho inspected every point of interest, noting depth of wa ter, etc. Having pnssed the light house on St. Simons, we headed for the white-capped waves of old Oc^&n, in the neighborhood of the oiiter buoy, but stopped a little short of that point—a few of us having been wnrn- by old Neptune of a small indebted ness which we would have been cdled upon to pay, had we proceeded muoh farther into his liquid domain. Suf fice it to sav, however, we turned back jnst about here, and with more com fortable feelings within told the old gentleman Itaiy tempus.” On our return wo checked up in the vicinity of the Bailroud Wharf, to give our I uul \ guests sufficient opportunity to secure cen ' any information desired, and then came op to the city. The Doctor ex pressed himself os highly pleased, on ly wondering why such a harbor should be comparatively unoccupied. Pursuant to notice, a-large number of citizens collected at McConn’s Hall at 8 p. M., and were addressed first by CoL T. J. Smith, “Master of the State Grange," who pointed ont to the au dience the grand objects sought after h the organization of the Grange movement, urging all present, inter ested in the matter, to unite with him in securing the great ends. Dr. Worrall was then introduced to the audience by the chairman, Mr. J. M. Cooper. His remarks were to the ■point, showing clearly the grand ad vantages to be gained by this move ment now on foot, to open up a direct trade between the great producing dis. tricts of the South and West, and the ! manufacturing oisincts ox mugmuu. Hi» language was piain, straightfor ward, and earnest, setting forth clear ly each proposition and its results, ur ging our people to cease paying trib ute to “middle men” and open up for themselves direct communication with those who are also seeking. closer rr m lations. The Doctor showed conclu sively that the sections interested in this movement (the South and West) produced almost the entire amount of everything sent to foreign markets, and then very pertinently inquires why we should pay twenty-five per cent of it to somebody else to swap it off for us for what we need. We would b*e pleased to give in detail much that the Do'ctor said, but want of space forbids. The speeches beirig over, an opportunity was offered our' peo ple to take stock in the enterprise and a committee appointed to wait on those not present. We are pleased to state that much iuterest is manifested by our citizens on this important sub ject, and trust that every one will feel it a duty to aid in the matter By {tak ing stock in this company. The.in- .Vestment is a sure one, we feel, fo r they do not ask any part paid until t|e. lines are established, and then on- ;lg.ft small portion (one fifth), the re- j ipqinder due within the next thir- | ^een mbriths thereafter. Another fea ture of special interest to us is that the money subscribed by our people js not carried elsewhere, but the amount raised is duplicated by the Company and the entire sum expend- $1 in material improvements in our ; own fttate, suoh as wharves, railroads, finals, warehouses, etc. The first steamer will leave England in thirty days after the requisite amount of .stook has been taken by the people on this side of the Atlantic. —Mr. Wm.

Do good with what thou hast, or it will do thee no good. The pursuit iu which we cannot ack God’s protection must be criminal; the pleasure fox which we dare not thank Him cannot be innocent. Individual greatness (the foundation of national greatness) is the result of trial fiery continual struggle, unceas-, it>g self-sacrifice, unremitting disci pline. Homely people with noble hearts are like sweet flowers that do not appeal to the eye, because they pour out their life in fragrance, and win our hearts by association. It is common to speak of those whom a flirt has jilted os her victims.' This is a grave error; her real victim is the mau whom she accepts. An unkind word from one beloved, often draws the blood from many a heart which would defy the battle axe of hatred, or the keenest edge of vin- . diotive satire. The nerve of the tooth, not as large os the finest cambric needle, will some times drive a strong man to distrao* tion. A mosquito can make on ele phant absolutely mad.
