Shepard & Dudley, of New York, the finest single case of surgi cal instruments in the state. The case contains 350 different pieces, and each one is perfect of its kind. They were made to special order, given to Dr. Leonard the agent of Mess. Shepard & Dudley, some months ago. There is not an opera tion known to modern snrgery for which an appropriate and perfect instrument, cannot be found in' this case. In addition to the surgical in struments; the case is provided with all the appliances needed before, dur ing and after operations; iron dyed silk thread, roller bandages, anti septic gauze, Edenburgh cloth. All the instilments have the finest ebony handles, so made that they cannot catch any of the virus or bac teria that might attach to them after operations; the instrumenfs are made of the finest Damascene steel. Some of the finer and more delicate instru ments are made of Aluminum, the new metal, which is more costly than sterling silver, and ofjfeather weight. In addition to the larger and more elaborate instruments, there is a pock et case of 25 instruments delicate, and yet as serviceable as the larger ones. The instruments are fitted into trays with mathematical precision which fit in turn into an aligator ease not larger than a small hand satchel, The instruments will be on exhibition at Mr. R. Thomas’ for a few days, and if you would see what modern mechanical skill is able to do for sur gery drop in.and take a look at them.

A man, whose business is that of book agent, attempted to ply his ■ vo cation yesterday without paying the municipal license tax.

Mayor pro tern Merrill assessed a license of 810 per pay, which sum he must pay if he sells his books in A Row. We had lioped and expected that the festivities of the Colored Christian Association yesterday and last night would have passed off without any disturbance. But such was not the case. Sheffield's hall was the scene of the trouble. Shortly after the gentlemen of the brass band began to blow, and the colored belles and beaux began “to balance all,” Willie Wright and Henry Anderson got in to a difficulty in the hall. Then there was confusion. However no cases of fainting are reported. Hal Mitchell, who was on duty as a special police man, attempted to stop the trouble. Some one reported to Sheriff Ilurst, who was in the vicinity, that a fight was going on upstairs. Wherever, and'whcnver, the law is being violat ed, Gus Hurst is soon there—if he is about. Taking Jo Crovatt and Dan Bird with him he was soon in the midst of the fracas. In the melee Mitchell struck Mr. Crovatt with a club. The sheriff collared the embryo policeman and marched him to jail. He gave bond this morning for his appearance before Judge Mitchell. Wright and Anderson will occupy tho mourners’benek in the Mayors’ Court. They claim to- have only been scuffling. Rows a r e loo com mon at colored festivals.

Here in Georgia prohibi tion by local optio n is in force in most of the counties, and wc manage to separate it from politics, believing it to bn a moral question. Time will show whether or not wc have adopted tho wiser plan. Indeed, some of the northern states have already confessed by their votes that we have.

Johnstown, Pa., June io—This was another wet and close morning in this valley. When day broke the scene was dismal to a depressing degree. A penetrating drizzle came down and made everything wet and slippery. Thousands of men moved to their places of work with a half-unwilling manner that"argued poorly fora heavy day’s work. When the whistle the Cambria shops sounded at 7 o’clock this morning the whole place was awake, and smoke from many camp fires and burning debris made a heavy cloud that rested over the er.t re val ley, almost hiding it from view from the hi'ls. Soon the enure valley was alive wtih its thousands of busy work men, and the tenth day of this vast undertaking was begun. The bodies taken out of the water to-day were in much better condition than those found in the debris. The latter were beyond recognition, and most of them were buried at once. The official bulletin of the state board of health, issued to day, says: "The air ccntinues pure and wholesome. The water is pure. The bodies still in the ruins are so covered with earth as not to be dangerous to health. Every precaution is being taken to prevent contaminatiou of the water supply of the towns below Johnstown. There is no ground, however, for alarm in this matter at present. The bodies are in the river covered with mud and earlh. The weather is cool and favorable. The progress of the work at the stone bridge to day, has been more satisfactory than on any day so far. More work lias been done in remov ing the debris at this point to-day than on any other three days. Tho steam hoisting engine on the bridge lias done more work than fifty men. Huge masses of broken anil bent iron, and immense timbers that men have been trying to move lor days, were lifted from their places and mov’ed with case. Three bodies were found lying close together to-day near the stone bridge, anil ten or twelve were found in that vicinity. XL.
