PRIVATE SCHOOL^
* for
the year 1876.
15 or 20 boys only will be received.
—The cargo of ice has arrived, but
the weather is no cooler.
—The members of the African Bap*
■ tisfc Church give an excursion to Dari
en next Monday, June 5th.
—We see from the Darien 'Gazette
that the colored people of that city
will give an excursion to this place on
the 2nd of June.
—Friend Nort'i is about to .change
his base. He moves in a few days to
the store in the Smith & Dexter Buil
ding, last occupied by Capt. Dure.
—Bouquets made of cabbage, long
collards and sunflowers are the very
latest sensation. Who can furnish us
the “language” of these new popies?
—What has become of the Board of
Trade, the Bank, the Tannery, the
Stock Ice Company, the new Brass
Band, and the old one, too? Are they
all gone to the Centennial?
—It is claimed that we have in this
very city a “2nd edition of the famous
British lawyer, Jeffries,” in the per
son of one of our lawyers. How legal
gentlemen do “pitch into” each other
—The attendance at some of our
churches in town on last Suuday was
rather slim; A wag suggests the of
fering of chromos. How different
from 1776—and yet we are told that
we are progressing!
—From all accounts, Judge Tomp
kins must be a pretty rapid Judge.
A citizen of Liberty county, where he
held Court week before last, says that
the Judge held him to business so
tight that he “did not have time to
say his prayers.”
Friend Haywood, in spite of the
talk of a “joint stock ice company,”
has just received a cargo of that cool*
ing material, and comes to the front
in this issue with a neat little “ad.”
Read his Sunday hours carefully and
act on them, or you may not be able
to keep cool on those days.
—How cruel in the Court to keep
the refreshment man in the Jury room
all of Friday night, to say nothing of
certain young men—all of whom were
wanted at the Belli It was postponed,
however, and these unfortunates con
still have a showing, but that does not
lessen the enormity of the guilt on the
part of the Coart.
—At a called meeting of the Savan
nah Presbytery held in Savannah last
week, Rev. R. A. Miekle was received
into this Presbytery* and the second
Sabbath of Jnne was appointed as the
time for bis installation os pastor of ;
per day, the bills for the same for the
past half year has averaged ©100 per
month. Wonldu’tit be well, “Gentle'
men of the Jury,” to tighten the
screws or else slacken the feed, and
thus lessen the list?
IjOOK out. saw-mill mem
We learn that freights on pitch pine
lumber have advanced within a few
days post, and there are indications of
an advance in the price of lumber.
Particularly have freights advanced at
Jacksonville and other neighboring
ports, which will have a tendency to
send orders to Brunswick. We learn
that several parties in New York, no*
regular dealers, but brokers, have
large orders on their hands which
they have taken at low rates, and
which they must have filled. They are
now on their way South, seeking to
place these orders and get them off
their hands before freights go higher
It is no w the time for our lumber man
ufacturers to stand firm, and not get
caught with low priced orders on an
advancing freight nnd lumber market.
