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.
