Irregularity of the Northern Mails.
The Northern mail has been consid
erably delayed this week, and in some
cases it appears to have been two or
three days behind time. Up to yester
day evening three legular New York
mails were due at the Augusta Pest
XUfiee.. - Many persons, merchants as
well others, are inconvenienced by the
delay. A number of peoplewho take the
literary and illustrated papers of New
York and other Northern cities, are
disappointed in not receiving them on
the day they usually expect them.
These mails usually come by the C.,
C. & A. R. R., and sometimes by the W.
C. &A.R. R. The delay is probably
caused by the fact that the gauge of
the Piedmont Air-Line is being chang
ed so as to be o t the same width as the
other roads leading from Charlotte,
and permit cars to run through with
out change. As soon as this work is
completed the mails will probably re
sume their wonted regularity.
We learned last night that a very
heavy mail was received by the C., C.
& A. Railroad train, which
8:05 o’clock p. m. Ail of the delayed
mails have now probably come to hand.
There was a very large crowd at the
post office last night, awaiting the
opening of these mails. .
A Prisoner from Thomson.
Yesterday afternoon Sheriff Langford
of McDuffie county, brought to Au
gusta a negro named Hope Sturgis
from Thomson on the Georgia Railroad
train, and placed him in the Richmond
county jail for safe keeping. Sturgis
was indicted for the murder of a young
man named James Brannon (who had
just been married) in McDuffie county
in January of 1874. After his arrest in
South Carolina, and indictment by the
grand jury of McDuffie county, he was
placed in the Fulton . county jail at
Atlanta. He was brought to Thomson
for trial a few days since, but the case
being continued he was brought to the
in this city, as it is considered more
secure than the McDuffie county jail.
The commitment was made out by A.
B. Thrasher, Ordinary of that county.
Presbyterian Church.
During the last three w T eeks fifteen
adults were baptized in the Presby
teriau Church of this city, forty-two
members wefe admitted on profession
of faith, and three by certificate from
other churches. The majority of those
who were baptized were young ladies,
and the majority of those who were
admitted by profession were young
men. This is the largest number at
one time that has been received into
the Presbyterian Church of our city
during the last fifty years.
Life Insurance.
Notwithstanding the dull times, the
Southern Life Insurance Company con-
do well wherever it is intro
duced. Oapt.'iU.H. Miller, its indefati
gable Superintendent, has been visiting
Thomson, Ga., this and is about
to establish an agency his company
there under the auspices of the leading
- business men of that enterprising town.
We commend him most cordially to the
good people of McDuffie. He is not
only the best lifo insurance agent with
in our knowledge, but he is a capital
fellow and thoroughly posted, and
bouud to succeed wherever he goes.
Two Men Drowned.
We received information last night
of an unfortunate accident that occur
red in the river where the dam is to be
built, opposite the canal locks, by
which two men were drowned. There
were five men in a boat in the river lay
ing a guy line, and about one o’clock
the party started for the shore to ob
tain dinner at the quarry, qft the Geor
gia side, but when withic about 75
yards of the point of landing the boat
was caught in an eddy or whiilpool
and all of the party thrown into the
water. Three of them managed to
swim out, but the other two,
James Gordon aud Charles Ramsey,
(the latter a colored man) were drowned
before assistance could be rendered
them. As goon as arrangements could
be made the river was dragged for the
bodi3, but up to a late hour in the
evening they had not been recovered.
Both of the men worked at the quarry
at the locks, Mr. Gordon, being a boss
at the works. He was a member of
the St. Andrews’ Society of Augusta.
Fairbanks’ Scales.— For the week
ending February 28tli, the Messrs.
Fairbanks manufactured 1,121 Scales.
Notwithstanding this large production,
they are only keeping pace with their
orders. When times are hard, exact
weigqt is in keeping with the closest
economy, and while manufacturing
generally is dull, the demand for “Fair
banks' Standard” is on the increase.
[Evening Post, March 3.
Messrs. Quinn & Pendleton received
by last night’s mail 3,000 Papers and
Magazines, weighing nearly 500 lbs.
Free Lance Items.

55 degrees.
To-morrow will be the first Sunday

The bacon market appears to be
lively, as prices have advanced almost
daily this week. Lard has also ad
vanced.
Yesterday a steady rain fell most of
the day, rendering the streets again
very muddy. Fires were found to be
comfortable.
The stock of cotton in Augusta yes
terday, found by comparison of re
ceipts and shipments, was 15,112 bales.
The cotton market yesterday was
quiet with middling, 15%@15%. Re
ceipts were 343, and sales, 288 bales.
A gentlemen yesterday evening found
a lady’s small dark colored cape on
Greene street, near St. John’s Church,
and left it at the Constitutionalist

The demand for fertilizers has so far
been considerably in excess of that
last season to this date, and in conse

brought to this market.
Mis3 Annie Bussey, formerly of Au

A called meeting of the Richmond
Hussars will be held to-night at the
office of J. J. Cohen & Sons. The
parade and prize drill of the troop did
not take place yesterday afternoon on
account of the bad weather.
Green peas have appeared in Jack
sonville, Fla., and shipments made to
Northern markets.
All the railroad trains, with provok
ing coolness, are arriving now every
day on time, thus preventing the re
porters from getting an item in that
line.
The new turn-table of the Street
Railroad, near the corner of Lincoln
and Watkins streets (between the Cem
etery and the Parade Ground), has
been finished, and the cars will proba
bly commence running to-day or to
morrow to that point, instead of to the
Fair Grounds. The track to the latter
terminus will, however, remain to be
used whenever necessary.
Harris, of the Savannah News, thinks
the story of the Atlanta Herald man
about a colored boy catching a snake
about the neck, when the said snake
jumped at him, and holding on to the
said snake with his teeth until the said
snake died, is without a moral (or a
parallel). Probably the moral was that
the snake was six feet long and a rat
tlesnake at that. Harris might make
a parallel case.
Palm Sunday—the Sunday next be
fore Easter is so called in commemora
tion of Christ’s entry into Jerusalem,
when the multitude strewed palm
branches in his way.
That Local Reporter of the Atlanta
Herald is at it again. Publishing a re
ply of Treasurer Jones to one of his
critics he makes that functionary talk
thus:
If I were able to give you the facts I
would do so cheerfully, but I cannot. I
never took any pianos to find out.
We knew there was some talk about
Jones paying bonds twice to somebody,
but never knew before that he had
been taking pianos.
A doctor in Savannah has developed
wonderful mediumistic powers. He can
perform all the tricks of the Davenport
Brothers, and does not know how the
power became developed in him.
Tho editor of the Columbia Union-
Herald has been arrested for calling
the South Carolina Legislature, Radi
cally speaking, a “ pack of jackals. ’
The Atlanta News begs Georgia edi
tors to drop the foolishness of nomi
nating Gordon or Lamar for the Vice-
Presidency.
Anew street has been opened in what
is known as the Harrison tract, near
the New Territory, running east and
west from Carrie street to Marbury
street—all of the work having been
done by the chain gang, under the su
perintendance of Mr. C. J. Blount, the
guard in charge of the gang. •Several
other streets in the same locality will
soon be opened by the chain gang, all
of whom appear to be faithful laborers.
Savannah is to have anew gas com
pany. The Morning News says :
$ The new company have secured the
patent known as the Needles Patent
for manufacturing a superior article of
gas from petroleum, kerosene, parra
fine, gasoline, coal and other materials,
which can be furnished to consumers
at a very large reduction trom the
prices at present charged by our gas
company for coal gas. Works for pro
ducing gas by the new process have
been successfully established in
Chattanooga and other Northern
and Southern cities, which are
giving the highest degree of sat
isfaction, both in regard to quality
aud cost of the gas furnished. The gas
furnished in Chattanooga at $3 per
thousand cubic feet is rated at twenty
one-candle illuminating power, and is
perfectly free from the deleterious pro
perties contained in coal gas, having.no
ammonia or sulphur in it. The econ
omy of the new invention is not only
in the material from which the gas is
produced, but in the process of genera
ting it and the means of serving it to
the consumer, while the quality of the
gas is said to be greatly superior to
coal gas produced by the old process.
It seems to us that either the price
of gas ought to be reduced in Augusta
or else necessity will, at some time or
other, compel our citizens to follow the
example of Savannah, Chattanooga and
other places.
" Weighty.—The reasons for adding
marble dust, alum, starch, flour, &c°,
to baking powders, are to make them
weighty, and thus add to profit. It
would be well for house-keepers to
know that Dr. Price’s Cream Baking
Powder is free from these adulterants,
he ice the purest and most economical.
As two teaspoonfuls go as far as three
teaspoonfuls of the heavy kinds, and
as baking powders are used by tea
spoonfuls and not by weight, the sav
ing in this direction is no small item.
Dr. Price’s Baking Powder and his
True Flavoring Extracts are beyond
all question the best and most perfect
of anything in the market. To insure
certainty buy Dr. Price’s Powder only
iu cans. mhlß-tuthsasu
Gambling.
The police last night arrested a white
man and a negro, at a place up town
on Broad street, for gambling —the
stake being ten cents. The parties who
first engaged in a social game with
drew, when it was proposed t<tplay for
the “ spondulix,” as they did not be
lieve in gambling. The negro them
came in and was in a winning way,
when the police pounced upon them.
At the Police office the darkey, who
had a bottle of whiskey, with a loving
smile put it to his bps and took a swal
low. All of the party, defendants and
witnesses, were notified to attend the
drawiDg-room reception of the Record
er this morning at nine o’clock, when
the stake will be considerably larger
than ten cents.
Traded Like a White Man.
A Petersburg paper publishes the
following story and credits it to the
Memphis Appeal:
• Scene in a Broad street clothing
store, time 11 o’clock yesterday morn
ing. Enter colored troop from the
rural regions. Storekeeper walk%hur
riedly up to troop and says :
“ Well, my colored friend, the Civil
Rights bill has passed, and I am com
pelled to sell you anything you want,
just the same as to a white man.”
Colored troop (pompously)—“ I know
dat.”
“ Well, now just say what you want.
I will have to sell it to you, althouf h
I don’t care to do so.”
“ I don’t wan’t nuffin.”
“Now just look around the store,
and if there is anything you want to
buy, say so. I’ll have to sell it to you,
as I am not able to pay the §SOO fine.
If you haven’t got money enough to
pay for what you want I’ll have to
lend it to you, though I hope you don’t
want much, as I haven’t got but little.”
“ What’s do price o’ dem pants ?”
pointing to a pair of corduroys.
“Seven dollars.” (Worth about §3.)
“I ain’t got but $5.”
“Well, I’ll have to lend you the other
§2.”
And so the trade was consummated.
The darkey took the pants, paid the
§5, borrowed §2, paid that, and went
off, owing the storekeeper $2 borrowed
money, with the firm conviction that he
had made “dat white man” sell him a
pair of pants and lend him §2 to boot.
Messrs. Quinn & Pendleton have re
ceived all the latest Papers and Maga
zines up to date.
The following is from the pen of
Quarles, an old English poet, whose
works are about to be reproduced :
Our life is but a winter’s day;
Some only breakfast, and away!
Others to dinner stay, and are full fed;
The oldest man but sups and goes to bod !
Large is his debt who lingers through the
day;
Who goes the soonest has tho least to pay!
An Important Fact.—The voluntary
testimony of thousands establishes be
yond all doubt a fact of vital impor
tance to the sick and debilitated, viz.,
that Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters is an
absolute specific for remittent and in
termittent fe/er, dyspepsia, constipa®
tion, biliousness, mental depression,
sleeplessness, chronic diarrhoea, and all
diseases of the stomach, liver and
bowels. The unmedicated stimulants
usually prescribed in these cases only
aggravate the symptoms, instead of re
moving them. The Bitters, on the con
trary, act as a corrective and invigo
rant, without producing the unpleasant
and dangerous consequences of the old
school practice. The action is mild and
sooting to the irritated stomach and
bowels, promoting digestion and pre
venting flatulence, nausea, headache
and all intestinal irregularities. A
wineglassful before meals greatly as
sists digestion. The convalescent may
use them with great benefit, as a means
of restoring strength and cheerfulness.

Augusta, Friday, March 19, 1875,
Business for the first part of the week
was quite dull, while the last two days has
shown more activity than has been mani
fested in some time, and though tho pre
dictions of nearly every one is that we will
have a dull Spring trade, still we are not
despondent, and think the trade will bo an
average one; yet a very active business
cannot be expected, owing to the unsettled
state of affairs throughout the country at
large. The planting community are now
very busy at homo preparing their land
for the coming crop, and we cannot expect
much trade in that direction until that
work is accomplished.

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 of
our soils: .
Our C. FERTILIZER adapted to Clay Soils.
Our G, FERTILIZER adapted to Sandy Soils.
