Sai.es at the Market House Y ester
day —The intense cold weather perhaps ac
counted for so few persons being in attend
joce at the Market House on yesterday.—
Stock and other personal property received
most attention from those present, while for
real estate the number of bidders was very
small, in fact so small that the greater por
tion of that advertised and offered for sale,
betweenthe usual hours was withdrawn, the
amounts bid being considered not sufficient
to juxtilv bona fide sales. Horses and
male?—some of the latter being exceeding
ly poor animals, although one of them tried
to imitate the "fiery and untamed steed,”
sold at comparatively good prices. Car
riage?, buggies and other articles were dis
posed of at various sums.
The following were the real estate trans
actions :

Lodry’s Lady’s Book.—We are indebted

anuary (1872) number of this sterling
**»hlon magazine.
Cotton States Mechanics’ and Agri
cultural Fair Association.—The second
annual meeting of the stockholders of this
Association was held at the City Hall last

chair. A committee to ascertain the num-
M r shares represented in person and by
proxy was appointed, consisting of Messrs

Gray, who reported the number at 150, be
ing over that required for a quorum. The
minutes of the last meeting were read and
confirmed.
The Secretary of the Association, Mr. E.

The next business in order was the elec

suing year. On motion, a committee of
five, consisting of Messrs. Chas. Estes, J.
O. Mathewson, L. Rice, R B. Morris and
J. M. Clark, was appointed by the Chair to

Mr. John D. Butt gave notice that he
would move the repeal of section 2, article
4 of the constitution, which is in these
words : “ Stockholders shall have free ac

gentlemen, Mr. ButtmoveTl that the Board
of Directors be requested to call a meeting
of the Association at some future day to
cons : der the matter, which motion was
unanimously adopted, and the meeting ad
journed.
Mr aid Mrs. Watkins.— These talent
ed comedians made their appearance last
evening in the drama ofKathleeu Mavour
neen. This is one of the most beautiful
and popular plays of the day, and never
seems to grow old. The bcautv of the
moral involved, the flashes of genuine
Irish wit, and the plot itself, make the play
one of rare interest. Mrs. Watkins, the
Star of the South, as Kathleen, acted with
all tbc grace and truth to nature, which
made her such a favorite with our people
just after the war She is certainly an ac
complished and t dented actress, and merits
all the praise bestowed upou her bv the
press of the conntry.
The part of Terrence O’Moore was ren
dered by Air. Watkins, as he ouly can ren
der It. This character is one of the very
best assumed by the eminent comedian.
Mr Cooper, as Bernard Cavauagh, was
very flue, as was also Mr. Paul, as Billy
Button Cap, and Mr. Llngard ns Capt.
Cleardeld.
Mrs. Jamison sustained the part of Miss
Dorathy admirably, while Miss Claud Wal
lack made a capital Meg Murdock. Miss
Clifton acted well as Kitty O’Leary.
The entire company is altogether one of
the best that we have ever seen, and we ad
vise our citizens not to miss the present op
portunity to witness their performances.
The fine stoves placed on each side of the
hall are great improvements, and added
much to the comfort of the audience last
evening. The temperature made one feel
exceedingly comfortable. The ladies need
have no fear of catching cold in the Opera
House hereafter, as it will be kept thor
oughly warm hereafter.
This evening the musical domestic drama
of “ Molly Bawn,” and the comedietta en
titled “ Who Won It, or The Lucky Num
ber,” will be performed, and we advise
everybody to be present.
The Municipal Election —To-day the
annual election for Mayor and Members of
Council of the city of Augusta takes place.
The polls in each ward will open at 8, a.
m.,and close at 2, p. m., precisely. The
regular Democratic ticket, duly nominated
by the different ward clubs, will be found
at the head of our local columns. That
each member of the party will cast his bal
lot in lavor of the gentlemen whose names
appear upon this ticket is confidently
hoped and expected by the clubs to whom
were entrusted the duty of making the
nominations. But little if any excitement
will attend the election, yet, because it will
be quiet is no reason for remaining awav
from the polls and allowing a slim vote
to be cast. Each one feeling satisfied
with the nomination should evidence the
fact by depositing his ballot in the box
placed In custody of managers in the usual
place in each ward. There will be no op
position from any quarter, and there is, as
a matter of course, no doubt as to the
result.
A Runaway. —A horse attached to a
wagon in the service of the |Wheeler A
Wilson Sewing Machines became frightened
at some object on the upper cud of Broad
street yesterday and ran off at a furious
rate. In his career the horse ran against
and knocked down a small mule aud cart,
the wagon to which the was attached, run
uiug partly over the mule when the latter
attempted to rise. In rising, however, he
overturned the wagon, and horse, wagon,
mule aud cart were completely tangled up.
A separation of the teams was effected by
the drivers without damage to anything
Fortunately no one was ou either vehicle at
time of the accident.
Grand Operatic Concert— A grand
operatic concert will be given at Masonic
Hall next Friday evening by Madame
Isabella McCulloch Brignoli, assisted by
Signor Maccafferrl, Signor Pacini, and Mr.
S. D’ Anna. Madame Brignoli attained to a
height of popularity and excellence, while
Miss McCulloch, seldom attained by any
native Prima Donna, and her coming will
be hailed with delight by all lovers of
beautiful and cultivated music.
Fertilizing Materials.—Edw. Barry
Cos., long and favorably known In this
city as druggists and chemists, offer for
sale pure Nova Scotia land plaster, pure
ground raw bone, dissolved raw boue, bi
phosphate of lime, and other fertilizing
agents. Planters will find it to their advan
tage to give them a call. Read the adver
tisement in another column.
Fine Oysters.— Messrs. Schlrmer A Cos.
have received a lot of large, fresh and fat
Norfold oysters, put up by those famous
oystermen, R. & H. Chamherlain. These
oysters are among the very best ever
brought to this market, for the Chamber
lains understand their business thoroughly
and select and pack none but the best bi
valves. We are indebted to Messrs. Bchir
mer & Cos for a can of these delicious oys
ters.

Postponed. — The examination of Messrs.
Hall and Batchelor, the parties in the
shooting affair last week, which was to
have taken place before the Recorder yester
day, was postponed, on account of the
absence of several material witnesses, until
to-morrow at 12 o’clock. All the witnesses
are notified to be in attendance at the Re
corders office at that hour.
Juvenile Combatants.— Yesterday after
noon the policeman on duty near the Lower
Market arrested a black boy named John
Boyer, who had, with malice aforethought,
endeavored to knock out the brains of Bob
Winkler, another colored juvenile, with a
stick of lightwood. John was put in the
guard house, in order to do penance for his
misdeed.
A Blight Fracas. —A rencontre oc
curred Saturday night, near the Planters’
Hotel, between two well known young
gentlemen of this city. Nature’s weapons
only were used, and we are happy to state
that neither was seriously injured.
A Double Barrel Robbery.—Yester
day Mac. Davis, colored, obtained a double
barrel shot gun from Sophie Watts, also
colored, on pretense of shooting a dog
Instead of doing this, Mac sold the gun to
a countryman. The police are after the
thief.
Wife Beating.—John Garvin, colored,
was arrested by the police yesterday for
beating his wife. He attended a levee of
the Recorder at 4 o’clock in the afternoon,
bnt we did not learn what punishment was
meted out to him by that functionary.
Not the Man.— The Adam Shefton
convicted in the District Court of stealing
a trunk from Prince Albert, is not the bar
ber on Jackson street, who is welljkuownas
a respectable colored man.
The Polls Remember that the polls iu
each ward open at 8, a. m , and close at 2,
p. nu, to-day.
