A Good Templars’ Reunion.
The Good Templars of Augusta pro
pose to have a general reunion this
evening at the Hall of the Young Mens’
Christian Association, on which occa
sion addresses are to be delivered by
Rev. Robert Irvine, D. D., and S. War
ren Mays, Esq. Both of these gentle

prove most interesting.
All are invited to attend. Ushers
will be in .attendance to show ladies to

Rip Van Winkle.
There was not a large audience, last
evening, at the Opera House, but the
performance was excellent. Mr. Mc-
Wade’s version of Rip Van Winkle is
very different from Mr. Jefferson’s,
and, in some respects, more natural.
Mr. McWade is an actor of striking
and original talent, We warmly com
mend him to such of our people as love
dramatic art, and desire to witness the
performance of a really remarkable
artist.
The Gibbert Sisters gave very effec
tive support to the leading actor, and
everything went off smoothly.
This afternoon, for the benefit of i
ladies and children, there will be a re
production of “ Rip Van Winkle .” It
cannot fail to delight all who go to
see it.
This evening, two very laughable
plays will be rendered. We trust Mr.
McWade and his company be pa
tronized liberally as they deserve to be.
A Dangerous Dog.
Yesterday morning, as the wagon
with the brass band of the McWade-
Gilbert Troupe was passing up Broad
street, by the Upper Market, a large
bull dog in the yard of Mr. Lyons, on
Ellis street, near Marbury, becoming
excited at the , noise broke his chain,
and running to the front yard next to
the store caught hold of the servant
girl of Mr. Lyons, named Maria Jack
son. She ran to the board fence above
and attempted to jump over into the
yard of Mr. P. Collins, but the dog
having hold of her pulled her down
by her clothing, tearing the whole of
her dress from her, and biting her on
the leg.
Mr. Collins, in his store next above
that of Mr. Lyons, hearing the girl
calling for help, ran to the fence and
leaped over, with an axe, struck the
dog on the back and also on the head,
the last blow laying him out but did
not kill him. Mr. Collins found great
difficulty in getting an opportunity of
striking the dog effectively, as he was
so near the woman as to render it dan
gerous to strike at him. Mrs. Lyons
begged him to kill the brute. The
woman was removed to the house and
a physician called in to examine her,
when it was found that she was bitten
on her legs, but the flesh was not torn
and the injury not so great as at first
thought. She was removed to her
home by her husband during the after
noon.
This dog is the same one which
attacked a child of Mr. L. Richards
some months since. He was removed
yesterday evening by his owner, Mr.
M. McGrath, who had left him in Mr.
Lyons’ yard some days ago.
Obstructed.
A large rock weighing probably two
tons, fell on the track of the Charlotte,
Columbia and Augusta Railroad Sun
day at Rock Hill station near the line,
between North and South Carolina.
The locomotive of the southward bound
day passenger train ran against it, but
as it was moving slowly at the time
there was no damage done.
The trains were delayed until the re
moval of the obstruction, and the Au
gusta train due here at 8:05, p. m. t did
not arrive until 5 o’clock yesterday
morning. The track is clear now and
all trains are moved on time yester
day.

THE RIVER.
High. Water and Apprehensions' of a
Freshet.
The Savannah river of late has been
higher than at any time during the
past Winter, or probably for two or
three years, and the rains since the
first part of January have served to
keep the water up to what might be
called high water mark for some weeks.
During Sunday and yesterday there
was a general inquiry “ how is the
river ? and considerable interest was
manifested by all classes.
Sunday morning the water rose to
27 feet, and at 6, p. m., was about 28
feet. Yesterday morning it was 29 .feet,
and at 4, p. m. 30 feet, after which hour
it appeared to be on a stand until after
six o’clock.
About one o’clock, p. m., yesterday
the slat on the pier of the bridge which
marked the heighth of the river was
knocked of by a piece of drift wood
passing down, and although exertions
were made to recover it, they failed.
Capt. Frazer, however, improvised
another mark which he attached to
the pier, by which the heighth could
be indicated.
Avery large number of persons were
at the bridge and on the banks during
Sunday and yesterday, and throughout
the afternoon people were going to and
coming from the river, all interested in
knowing how high the water was.
On Reynolds street, above Kollock,
the water was quite deep, but that sec
tion of the city being quite low it was
not considered as any cause for appre
hension to see it moving in that way.
Yesterday afternoon, at the foot of
Kollock, Marbury and other streets,
there were large crowds watching the
water, and the juveniles were as usual
playing jokes on each other. Some of
them received a ducking, a few of the
older ones also’engaging in the fun.
Several houses on this street ap
peared to be almost surrounded by
water, and the yards of several
small residences on Jones street
were flooded, but none of the families
living in that locality had moved out
late yesterday evening, which is a good
indication of the faith they have in be
lieving there will not be a freshet.—
Should the water come in town it
would approach from that section of
the city.
The water in the canals has not made
any encroachments yet. It has cover
ed the low places in rear of Pendleton
& Boardman’s machine works and be
low Dublin Bridge, but has not yet
flooded.
At 10 p. m., we learned that the water
was rising in the river, as indicated by
a mark at the foot of Campbell street.
It is thought by those competent to
judge, that it will not do more
than run through the drains, as it takes
an of water to raise*
it even one foot after it gets out of the
river banks.
At one o’clock this morning, when
we last heard from the bridge, there
were no indications of a further rise.
THE COURTS.
COUNTY COURT.
The regular term of the County
Court, Judge Claiborne Snead, presid
ing, for the trial of cases by j ury, was
held yesterday morning.
In the case of the State vs. Solomon
B. Wolfe, indicted for using vulgar
language in the presence of a female.
An order, on motion of defendant’s
counsel, was taken quashing the indict
ment, on the ground that it was defec
tive, and the defendant discharged.
Walter H. Levy and H. Clay Foster,
Esqs., represented the State, and John
S. Davidson, Esq., the defendant.
Two other cases were continued at
the instance of the County Attorney,
W. H. Levy, Esq., after which Judge
Snead discharged the juries with
thanks for their prompt attendance,
and Court adjourned.
COURT OF ORDINARY.
This court, Judge Samuel Levy pre
siding, convened pursuant to adjourn
ment from last week, when the follow
ing business was disposed of:
Letters of guardianship were granted
to Mrs. Annie Geraldine Lamb on the
property of her three minor children.
Also to Cornelius J. Holloway on the
property of his three minor children.
A few orders were granted, and court
adjourned to the next term in course.
RECORDER’S COURT.
The usual number of cjises for vio
lations of the city ordinances were dis
posed of in this court yesterday.
~A Useful Invention.— Briggs’ Family
Stove Furnace, now on exhibition at
Mr. Frank Smyth’s, No. 51 Mclntosh
street, is a novel but simple invention —
one that is calculated to please house
wives who dislike to heat up their
stoves every evening merely to make
coffee or tea. It can be used on any
stove with only a few chips or a quart
or two of coal. 1
Endorsements of the People’s Rem
edy.—When skillful and cautious med
ical men give over their own signa
tures a favorable opinion of the sooth
ing and vitalizing effects of a prepara
tion, the public does not hesitate to
believe them. The voluminous and
emphatic professional testimony in
favor of Hostetteris Stomach Bitters,
as a specific for all disorders of the
stomach and bowels, for liver com
plaint, intermittent and remittent fe
vers, and the thousand ills that wait
upon dyspepsia, must convince the
most skeptical. Aside, however, from
the testimony of the faculty, there is a
large mass of evidence from p -.tients
in every walk of life, and showing that
this great preventive and restorative
is of inestimable value to the sick and
debilitated. The Bitters are suited to
all climates, and are universally en
dorsed as a preventive of disorders
caused by miasma and impure water.

There was a rumor yesterday morn

The Travel from Florida en Route
North.
St. James’ Hotel, )
Jacksonville, Fla., March 6th. 1875. j
Mr. Editor : At last the great stream
of travel has commenced to flow away
from the Land of Flowers, where there
are yet over 25,000 visitors to move on
out of this beautiful land en route for
their Northern homes. Every train,
day and night, and every steamer, for
Savannah, is filled with the tourists
from the North en route from Florida,
while, as yet, every train comes to us
laden with those who have come to en
joy the loveliest season of the year,
March and April, when the orange
blossoms fill the air with their odorous
perfumes, while the mocking birds, the
wildest of singers, are heard in every
tree and bush, warbling their sweetest
notes.
Among the many distinguished ar
rivals in the last few days is the Hon.
Wm. H. Vanderbilt, head and front of
the great New York Central Railroad,
while the Hon. John W. Garrett, Presi
dent of the also great Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, is now, at this date, en
route for Florida ; and thus it is that
Florida is drawing the wealth and
fashion of the land. In the midst of
all this your beautiful Fountain City
looms up before the tourists as a point
of attraction on their return home.
Augusta is a beautiful city, and with
out any disparagement toward others
we can say, as we have heard scores in
Florida say, Augusta contains excellent
hotels, where the traveller finds com
fort indeed, and as good tables as any
hotels in the line of this great travel;
and friend Mosher, of the Augusta,
with the gentlemanly proprietors of
the other hotels, have only to keep up
to the present standard, and the public
will ask no more.
And now, in conclusion, we can as
sure you that out of the twenty to
thirty thousand visitors yet in Florida,
Augusta, Ga., must be benefited by
the thousands that will pass that way,
many of whom will stop there for a
day or two. Yours truly,
A Florida Tourist.
SPECULATIVE RUIN.
The People of the Pacific States
Cleaned Out byJJuscrupulous Oper
ators.
Many thousand of people in the Pa
cific States have been brought to great
distress by the panic in mining stocks.
Tempted by the stories of sudden for
tunes acquired by investments in the
bonanza mines, they mortgaged their
houses and farms, or otherwise sacri
ficed their property, in order to buy
shares at the fancy prices ruling in the
height of the excitement. The rise and
fall of the Ophir stock was something
wonderful. In October last shares
ranged in price in the San Fran
cisco market at from §43 to §64. —
Though the adroit management of
the stock jobbers, by January 13, they
were run up to §239, and at one time
they reached §309, or very near to that
point. In two months and a half the
nominal value of the miqf! increased,
according to the quotations of the
Board of Brokers, from §5,040,000 to
§23,184,000, a gain of over §17,000,000.
On February sth it was once more sell
ing at §6l per share. In Nevada the
shock which followed the collapse was
terrible. Nearly the whole population
was interested, even women had in
vested largely in the high-priced
shares; and many families in moderate
circumstances were utterly ruined.
The curses uttered against Sharon, the
new Senator, were loud and deep, as it
is generally belived that he and Jones
were mainly responsible for the dis
aster. A California newspaper says
that it is well known that a few
months ago Sharon and Jones ob
tained control of the Ophir mine
by the purchase of 20,000 shares at §BO
per s ; are. Besides that, they had to
buy iu the open market enough more
shares to make their total investment
in this single mine §3,000,000. The re
ported development in this and other
mines sent the stock up, as has already
been described, and when it reached
§250 they began unloading, an opera
tion which they continued steadily.—
Thus a few fortunate speculators with
abundant means scooped up all the
loose cash there was afloat, and there
being no demand for stock by reason
of the financial stringency this produc
ed, the shares went down with a rush.
Terrible Fight in a Menagerie.— A
remarkable scene occurred on Febru
ary 23, at Burr Robin’s farm, near
Janesville, Wis., where he winters his
menagerie. About midnight the sacred
ox got loose, backed out of his stall,
and stopped close to a den occupied by
a large Bengal tiger. The tiger seized
the ox by the neck with such tenacity
that when the ox tried to escape he
separated the cage bars and drew the
tiger through them. Then a terrible
battle commenced. The watchman
climbed to the top of the building to
save his life. The noise awoke Sam
Dickey and Richard Brooks, who slept
in the upper part of the building, and
they at once came down to disco ver the
cause of the din. The hyena, elephant,
and all the other animals were terribly
excited; and doing their utmost to
escape. Brooks and Dickey jumped
upon the tiger, and by choking him
succeeded in tearing him from his vic
tim ; but hi) escaped them and again
fastened uison the ox. They then
secured a stout rope around his throat,
and, dragging him off, secured him
once-more in his cage. Both men were
badly bitten and cut up. Brooks will
probably be laid up for several weeks.
They stood about one chance in a hun
dred of escaping with their lives.

SOLD BY
EDWARD BARRY & CO.,
288 Broad Street, Aug-iiNta, Oa.
THE EVIDENCE presented in the statements of the respectable and Intelligent plant
ers of the surrounding counties will satisfy Southern men that this CONCENTRA
TED CHEMICAL FERTILIZER may claim to be equal, if not superior to any in the
market; that being composed of a base of raw-bone, decomposed with Sulphuric Acid
and a combination of Chemicals, it is devoid of the enormous amount of inert matter
which all Phosphate Rock preparations must contain; and that it presents the best
guarantee of a large profitable return, as testified to by all who have used it. We refer
to our Pamphlets for this evidence, as it is too voluminous for our advertisement The
preparation is varied in composition to meet the condition of the two great classes or
our soils:
Our C. FERTILIZER adapted to Clay Soils.
Our G. FERTILIZER adapted to Sandy Soils.
When ordering please say which KIND Ls required.
CASH PRICE WILL BE ... S6O PERj TON.
