BODNDABOUT IN GEORGIA. —The H«lhof Mr. William Wheeler, of Gwinnett crajnty, is announced. — Mr J. VV. Belt, sheriffof I.urke county, i* fi.rty-riinr year* old. and ha« been in the |»wl-»:r M-r»*be twenty-eight jean. — Tite editor «f the Gazette Iim rlowljr examined a number *»f tree* around Wa-diingtou, and. on opposite of Ui«'n, nod (ii.d (bat the (.car he* have not iieen in jured by tlr* rerent mid, though aotne peo ple from the country wy that all the (.©arhe* atiout their houiea were killed. —The J>i«|*!rh aaya that eighteen tlion •and one hundred and fifty bales of cotton have Wen shipped from Hawkliisville dur ing the season jn»t ending, and there is sufficient number of bales in the srare- hotiaes to run the shipments up to about twenty thousand bales. The guano receipts h*r the canon ran up to one thousand fi hundred and seventy-five tons, worth, at forty dollars js*r ton, sixty-three thousand dollars. —Tin- Gainesville Kagle nays that sonic days ago Mr. Pollard Kelley and the tw* lawless boy*, of Dawson county, struck a small bonanza on the Spike Hill mine, about two miles east of l>aw*onville. In one af- tern«M»n they took out 245dpta.of gold and the next day something over 60 dwt*. more. The tain* has been worked at intervals for a number of years, but this is probably one x»f the richest strikes that has been made. The lAgle learns that there is universal ac tivity in mining circles in Hall county, sev eral valuable discoveries having been made recently. —The Cutlihcrt True Southron notes an increased average throughout the county in small grain. Oats, wheat, rye ai.d barley have been sown, while more attention than heretofore has been |*Id to manuring. Itye is Incoming an important adjunct to the corn crib. Vetch ami tmrley for stock feed are also gaining favor with the farmers. All this is reform in the right direction. The planting interest can never become successful until proper rotation of ciofts is observed, and more stress laid oa economic nteihml* of conducting the farm. The first consideration of the farmer shouhl he to live at home, and to this end should liis efforts lie directed. —•A gentleman of the new 20th district, of Sumter county, informs the American Republican that on Saturday, an he was ri ding through the country, he witnessed the nmst novel sight of his life. It was nothing more nor less than a white lady plowing, her himhand acting an the horse, mule, or steer, as the ease may lie. lie wan regularly haruesned and dragging the plow an complacently an an ox. The gentleman •puke to the woman alsiut her team, and •lie replied that " thin wan the only way •he could get any work out of Klim, and sha would make hint do what she could.*’ The plowed ground wan well broken up, and nhnwed that the woman wan an expert in the use of the plow, and that man cau be a horse when he will. —Colonel T. J. Smith, tell-knwe hnwn Georgia granger, comes forward with a hint that in of decided interest to our farmers. The price of cotton having advanced since the crop lias gone out of the hands of the pro ducer, which is no often the case, to a price there i> some remuneration in its produc ti«»n. it Incomes now the duly of the pro ducers to consider seriously the situation. Many farmers and planters have conscien tious scruplaa in buying and selling future* in cotton, ami charge it as gambling. Col onel Smith does not pro|M*se to tai»|ier with their finer sensibilities, hut he desires to state f.»r the benefit of the planting interest that the crop to lie grown this year can now l»e sold for next fall delivery at a price that will net over ten cents at the nearest depot of the producer. Colonel Smith has no ad- vire to advance to the farmers, for cotton may rule lower or higher, but he says they have an op|s»rtiinity presented whereby THETWEEKXY CONSTITUTION: ATLANTA, OA..

Tl*e people turned «u;t witii a unanimity never before known, ■nd there was an unusual heartiness in the ceremonies, ft to true that rnneb of tliis *uay be ascribed to the distinguished char- •cter of tbe orator of the day, and the fine military display had much to do with the heavy crowd; hut there ia no room to doubt that the 2Gth of April, as a day of reverent and |>atriotic celebration, is steadily grow ing iu favor and gradually supplanting the 4th of July. In our opinion the day will become more and more important year after year and finally fix itaelf in our system as •lay of daya This is as it should be. There is nothing in the spirit of tbe ob servance of the day that the most critical observer could object to. The general gov ernment that can be injured or threatened *y the feelings engendered over the graves of the confederate dead is an oppression, and weak of its own weakness. The mem ories buried in tbe graves are pure ones, and naught but good cau come of their indul gence. As to the details of yesterday's work, they c all Hint could be desired. The occasion was a g'jod one, and tha oration was worthy of ibe occasion. The military display was beyond criticism, and altogether the day may be ranked with a while stone. they can make some money in planting, which is not usual, and he feds that they •hotild give the situation some considera tion. Many producers an; not aware that they could sell less t^an one hundred hale* of cotton, but they can combine and sell one or more hundred bales. Being a planter and fading a deep interest in liis brethren of the plow, he throws out this hint for their consideration. — Married in Summerville, Ga., at the residence of Judge John Taylor, on the 22d of April, 1M79, l.y Rev. \V.

The coiton picker has not been fairly 1 and we fear Mr W. will fall short expectations. Our opinion istlie.c will lie a picker inventetl tha. will excel the lingers of man—though we wish him •nccesH. The next invention is a washer, by Professor Whatley. This cannot be called a machine; we will call it a washer (for washing clothes); it has no machinery whatever tbout it. 1 will go to tfie trouble now to describe it; it is so simple that it seems strange no one ever thought of it before. I have never seen it in operation, but learn it does its work well, and that it is ii»i|*ossible to break a button with it. The next invention is also claimed by Professor Whatley, which is a scrub for scouring the floor. 1 have seen this work and believe it w ill supply • want long felt by the gentler sex. —Columbus Enquirer: The storm of Tuesday and Wednesday seems to have been general*. Reports from many portions of the south tell of loss of life, property and damage to eTvq*. Our section fortunately recaped any great loss. In all lower coun tries farmers have *u tiered terribly, and bridge*, mill-dams and levees were swept awav. In Marion county Ivey s mill-dam on th# Klnchefunee creek, McGlanglin’s dam on line Knot creek, and the county bridge over the latter creek were destroyed. The farmer* will all have to replant,winch will of course cause a delay of about three weeks * the crop. Thesjiecial published yesterday reference to the tornado which (taased soli oft h ho, Ala . give* but a faint idea of itseu mity. It was aUmt one quarter of a mile in width, and could he heard for some time before it arrived. The terrible crashing of falling trees tearing down of dwellings and fences, told of the approaching danger. There waa no way to avoid it, however, ms it navels vrith lightning-like rapidity. On it came, growing louder and louder, and lb* poor u t'uals who lay iu its path bad but to wait, as they thought, for death. Dwellings and fences suffered terribly, while hundreds of parties were injured. The large trees were twisted and tom up t»y the roots as if they were but reeds. Mr. Ormsinger, living near Otho, was one of tbe princi|ial sufferers. Every house • *n bis place was blown down, including the dwelling in which himself.^ wife and children were at the time. No one was killed, but several received blows which will prove fatal. Every one was Tn*r<u or less injured. Horses .mini mules were killed and wounded, and in one local ity it U said, two were blown completely away. Tbe storm-king crowed tl«e river, and* did similar damage in Georgia. One negro m« killed on the Georgia side, and many |*er*ons injured.

The water mse twelve inches from 2 a m. to $ a.m..and continued rising all day. The old cemetery was almost * entirely inundated, and many railings around graves were lurn away and carried down the stream. Many bowlings were submerged and rest dents driven out. On Texas avenm the water rose from four t< ten inches in dwellings and many booses were floated away and o’hers were in danger. The long bridge acne* tbe bayou on Preston street is momentarily ex pected to succumb to the pre-sure o» ac cumulated drift. The m*Tthou*ca. dries, stores, etc., are flooded. AH build ings on the south side, from the corner of Main and t’ommerce streets to Travis •reel, have their rear ends and cellars The great crowd which had been throng ing the streets all day began by two o'clock to center about the capitol, iu froul of which Die procession was to be formed. Captain John Milledge, the marshal of the day, had arranged all the preparations with great care and exactness, so that there was confusion or delay. At 12:40 the Koine Light Guards a rived and were quartered at the Kimball bouse. At 2 o’clock they were inarched down by Lieut. Priutup and were rted by the Gate City Guards to tbe place where the processiou was to be form ed. All the Richmond Huxsars, the Edge- field and Burke county cavalry remained to join in the ceremonies, and they added a new feature to the occasion. The Atlanta military certainly did itself credit. It was out in stronger numbers and in better ad vantage than we have seen in some time lawn. \e»ierday waa a sort of renewal of inturesi in military matters in Atlanta. At half-past one o'clock the ladies of the memorial association met at the residence S Dr. Johnson, on Marietta street, where a rich supply of flowers in natural and arti ficial anangement were ready for the sacred service to which they were soon to bo dedi cated. By half-past two o'clock the procession ns ready tor the march. It was one of the ost imposing ever seen in Atlanta, and thousands watched its first solemn stepping towards the city of the dead. The long line, commanded by Capt. Milledge, moved in splendid order. First came the Mi|«rl> fifth artillery baud wbofl music was admired by all who heard iu After the band came the Richmond Hussars, the Edgefield anil Burke county cavalry, all in liue order under Captain John Clark. Then came a tine array of Knights Templar in their splendid regalia, giving a fine appear- to the head of the procession. came the Butler Guards of Green ville, 8. C., in a neat grey uniform very much like that of our own Governor’s Guards. They were followed by (lie Spar- lam Rifles in uniform of tbe same style. Then came the ATLANTA BATTALION looking its best. Capt. Heyward com manded the Governor’s Guards with a tine array to sustain him. The Cadets looked as handsome as usual with Capt. McCandless at their head. The Gate City Guards came so numerously that they were divided into two companies. The first was commanded by Captain J. F. Burke, and the second by Lieutenant John Butler. In all, this company numbered about fifty- nine men. After them came tbe Rome band playing the solemn dead march from ’•Haul” and other airs equally impressive. The Knights of Pythias, in an elegant ar ray, acted a* a guard for the ladies of the Memorial association, who rode in carriages and stretched the procession into great length. Ahead of the wliole procession, except the liand, rode in elegant stylo GenenU Fitzlmgh Lee, tbe orator of the dav, accorn- l»anied by General C. A. Evans, Mayor W. L. Calhoun and Captain John Milledge, the marshal of the occasion. Through all the crowded streets this great procession moved to the cemetery. The great crowd had been going out on special trains by the Georgia road and the street-cars, while thousands walked and many went in vehicles. The line of march was from Marietta >wn Broad (o Alabama, down Alabama to Whitehall, down Whiteliall to Hunter, down Hunter to tlie cemetery. Entering the cemetery, tbe procession marched down the main drive, filing to the left below the confederate monument un til they reached a poiut directly east of the monument, the orator of the day, ( with the minister, the mayor and should Ntrike uiacordont string in the heart of held by t] true men. whether they fought for the federal ! folds that flutter in every breeze i* the boast of blue, or died to uuiiiUu the <o:ifederate gn * ,J “ * m—'* *—i If the summon to attend thi-m should draw united people away for one day in the year from their respective pursuits, it but proves the confederate gray, heraldry and the pride of power; if the (HP-man rthmMimujMmr 1 bows before his t too nt with an eastern idolatry I a> ii ti-rats over the Bosphorus and around the Gol- that respect for the memory of have creased the river of etrmity and are resting beneath the shade of everlarang trees, is loftier than tbe highest mountain, deeper than the Ballon and Kenaca, Calhoun and AdainvilleJ Caasville.

As his body lay in death's embrace in Virginia’s cspitol. one of Georgia's most distinguished sous moved the reso lutions of respect to his memory in tbe ronfedcr- South Carolina.- In the speech of the mover of tho resolutions we find these words:-"Mr. Presi dent, lu a fe* day* I expect to follow ;he footstep* of my frieud to the field of battle, and I confess to you, air, that my natural heart promoted me to desire that upon the tint field of battle I might meet and rcc<«nize his slayer, fori have felt that with the blood-stained eye and the nerved arm of the avenger of death.

With that hope may I live; iu that faith may I die. Such, my friends, was the loving language ut tered in the confederate congreaa, upon Bar tow’s death by Thomas K. R. Cobb. On the ISth of December. 1SG2, not quite one year and four months after thin beautiful eulogy upon his departed friend. Cobb has. to use his own chaste expressions, realized "th© bright hope of a glorious meeting in an unending eter nity,” and when clasped again iu Bartow’s friendly embrace, he "basks forevcver in the suusbine of the love of God.” The p«*st of honor, which is alwavs aiwignsd to the brave, waa at the battle of I redcricksbuig given to Cobb's brigade, of McLaw’s division. Upon the crest of the famous Mary’s hill, was stationed the celebrated Wash ington Artillery, of New Orleans, and at the stooe wall at the foot, like a stonewall, whose fixedness It resembled, Cobb’s brigade protected the guns.

I could have chosen for the good of the country to have beqn disabled in hi* stead." Don’t you re cognize the true sublimity of his character as he spoke to gallant Cadmus Wilcox, on the 3d of July, 1863, when he saw his shattered column returning from its unsuccessful assault upon the strongly entrenched position of the fed eral*—when the semi-circle of Round Top nearly trembled with the fiery diadem of our victory— when under the sulphurous canopy formed by tbe dense pall of smoke of three hundred cannon, herald: "All this is my fault. It Is I who have lost this fight.” While to a foreign officer of rank, who had come to witness the battle, be said: "This has been a sad day for us, colonel, hat we can’t expect always to gain victories.” Do any of yon Georgians recall him in May, 1864, at Spottsylvanta Court House.after the brave and courteous Hancock had broken the lines and the late of the army seemed to tremble in the bal ance. as he rode to the front of the colors of the a9th Virginia regiment, one of the regiments o the charging column formed to retake our lines or die, aud, removing his hat, started to lead them into the jaws of death? Can't you almost hear the re-echo of the shouts of the armv for him to go to the rear, as grim visaged a 'cmimling you of the man who, after Anpo- z, who, after the end had come—ana he through the streets of scarred and blackened Richmond, seeking the privacy of family and home, what wouder was it nhat citizens involun tarily took off their hats along the streets and cheered him?

Let me hide myself In thee,” and joining hn.i in it with fast-failing powers, the great cavalry leader of the army of northern Virginia furled his battle-flag forever: the angel of death quietly guided to realms of everlasting light him who was more fiery upon the battle field than "Rupert of the bloody sword.” He ■ sleeps in beautiful Hollywood, at the capital of his own loved state by the side of his darling Flora, and I earnestly pray his soldierly fame will last as long as the omnipotent power of the lock of Ages, upon which his faith was fixed. These are some of the heroes of the army of northern Virginia, with which I served aud hence knew best; and yet there were names of soldiers who fought here in yourmidst. th tare as hor^l in Virginia as in Georgia. Was It not at Pinr Mount on the 13th of June. 1863, that Georgia’s soil was crimsoned with the blood of the Christian warrior, for Leonidas Polk, exposed by his characteristic insensibility Pi danger. General Johnson says, "fell by the third shot, which passed from left to right through the middle of his chest." "Ob! warrior bishop, church and state Sustain in thee au equal fora, ~ 'Icall thee f s kept, thy course was i I done, Ta-te then the mercies of thy Lord.’ And if time were allowed to select another from the list of those whose tents are pitched upon fame’s eternal camping ground—and whose great talents were devoted to the defence of their native State, 1 would point to a soldier, distinguished as an author, brave in spirit, gifted in mind, ere he united Ills fortunes to those af Georgia. Serving as captain of dragoons in Mexico, his company was the first upon the American side to engage the enemy, whereafter vainly endeavoring with his little band to cut his way through the Mexican ranks, he was taken prisoner. He was afterwards exchanged and was conspicuous in all the battle* to the gates of the City of Mexico. Iieing breveted major and then lieutenant-colouel for gallant and meritorious service. I cannot tell you what he did in the war between the states—but Shiloh l’erryville. Murfreesboro, Chickamauga, Lookout Mountain, Missionary Ridge, ana all the country between Dalton and Atlanta, can eloquently speak in his behalf. For has not the Hon. Jefferson Davis said of him: "Whoever may have failed, that noble Georgian, General Hardee, has done all that could be expected of a soldier, or asked of a patriot” Such unqualified commendation needs nothing Additional. As one who served as a second-lieutenant in the Second cavalry of the United States army, whose colonel was Albert Sydney Johnston, whose lieutenant- colonel was R. E. Lae, and whose major was Wil liam J. Hardee, I simply claim tha privilege of lg a little tributary flewer in the garland of >rtelles with which fame has wreathed his illustrious character.

In the battle of life we can emulate those qual ities of character that have made the lives of these heroes memorable—their deaths glorious. Many of us, I know, have had a hard struggle since the war. Our children have nob as was the law in ancient Athens, been honored with seats in high places. Our people may have been too slowly accorded the common rights of a common country, but it will not erase a past that in thought aud mental culture our own south ha* rivalled the land of Homer and Aristotle, the home of Virgil and of Cicero. While in the talent, and wisdom, and heroism, and courage, and devotion of our soldiers, history shows no nation a&superior; aye, though the finger of her pride be pointed to tbe dwelling places of Alexander, of Csesar, of Han nibal. of Marlborough, of Gustavus Adolphus, of Napoleon and Wellington. I know our misfor tunes have been many and our burdens grievous to bear, but II they have been let loose upon us in all directions, can we not find, as in the box of Pandora, hop* at the bot tom. It is our duty to look upon the bright side, for it i* tl»e right side. The flower gathers its beauty from the sunshine, not from the clouds. All things cannot be as we would order. The sea would indeed be dull if its surface remained forever undisturbed, and "spring would be hut gloomy weather if we had nothing else but spring.” True it Is we mourn for loved and lost ones. Vacant chairs stand mute in their woe at the family hearth. The voice* of mothers, sisters, wives ana children, when thrown upon the wind, appeal often to the spirits only. Tender looks cannot be cast upon, nor fond embrace clasp the household looL Victory’s chaplets are ab sent from the foreheads of our reuowucd and glorious heroes, but grandly in their stead the wreaths of honor twine. The land has not rejoiced, but when memory touches tbe mystic chords of a long ago, solemn rapture cannot be restrained. The river of our joy docs not flow out, because suece* has not mingled with its sunshiny stream, but better still, interlaced amid the wails of lofty woe. wrapped up in tbe"blood-stained sheaves of life,” brightening the bones that bleach upon the fiields of carnage, drying the purple of the crimson sod, binding up the wounds of the mounilur heart, comforting the almost comfortless, is the life- renewing thought that though the plume which floated above the storm may have been buried, honor was written upon each of its dancing feathers. That though no marble monument or lofty obelisk may mark our soldiers' graves, the heart of his comrade enshrines his memory for ever with admiration and love, though the proud banner was taken down, because "’Tis weary. And rouud its staff ’Tis drooping dreary,” it was furled only when there was not "a soul to lave it iu the blood that heroes gave it.”.

As they left their prison they began a song of praise to the Supreme Ruler above them. As they jour neyed to the place of execution, their solemn re frain still continued. Upon the scaffold the celes tial chime still was heard—Its intensity and vol ume being gradually diminished as head after head was severed float the body. The abb*** suffered last, and her single voice, with increased fervor and power still ascended on high. It ceas ed abruptly—it waa the silence of death.

When ln the history of nations and states, the remembrance of THE TOURNAMENT. Scenes at tbe Park Lost Friday. The visiting companies had frequently met each other in friendly tilts before Friday. At Augusta, Columbia, Waynes boro, Edgefield and elsewhere they had tried each other’s mettle, and gradually worked their style up to perfection. The old Rich mond Hussars, when Joe Thayer, Ed. Hack, Frank D'Antygnac and Jo© Twiggs used to ride.-were said to be the best in the south, and it is not sure that they have dete riorated now. The Edgefield boys, however, have beaten them in one or two contests, and the Burke riders are skillful and dar ing. All the best incn of all the compa nies were out on yesterday. There were some five or six who seemed to be accorded the first place. The tilter with the best reputa tion, perha]>s, was Joe Thayer, who had won nine out of thirteen first prizes, and who held, the two medals and the white plume of the Richmond Hussars when he resigned a year or twoago. After him prob ably came Walker, of tlie Edgefield Hus sars, a cool, strong-handed, .clear-eyed rider, who nolds the plume of his oinpany. Lieutenant Fleming, of the Rich monds, who holds the plume at present and Lieutenant Mays, of the Edgefield*, and Lieutenant Jones, of the Burkes, were ihe favorites with many. There were many beta made that Trooper Jule Fleming, of the Richmonds, would take the first prize, while Atkiiis, of the Edge fields, and Wim berly, of the Burkes, had strong backers. The honors of the day, it was esteemed cer tain, would fall within this list, with Thay er, Walker, and Jule Fleming probably holding the places of favorites. THE OPENING OP -TUK TILT. The first work of the tourney was the try ing of the horses by putting them over the course at regulation speed, which, by the way, was little less than lightning. This exercise wound the spectators up. and gave them zest for the fun that was to follow. After the men had tightened their stirrups, tried their swords and settled themselves in their seats, tbe work began. At the call of the bugle a trooper wolild dart from out ihe clump of horsemen at the foot of the lists and dash at the heads and rings as if the wind were at his heels. It was stirring fun to watch them as they whirled past. Finer riding was never done anywhere. The men sat their horses like Centaurs They turned, •nd cut, and slashed and thrust, but all as easily and regularly as if they were on terra firma. They rode as only south erners can ride. Captain Clark opened the riding by a dashing tilt that won eighty in horsemanship and exercise, while it did not make much in "points.” There was little variation in the work to the general eye. Thayer won the heartiest cheering. Jule Fleming come the near est to making all the points, barely missing the ninety-three. Buhler’s horse swerved and got him on the wrong side of the last head, but he pluckily reached out for it over his shoulder. Henry Ortes made a gallant effort on his little nag, having to "work his passage” through. Lieutenant Fleming got the only perfect score on horsemanship on the first round. Zim merman was the first man that dislocated everything, although he did not make all the points, and Walker closed the first round with the highest score, having made 15\i out of a possible 18. The two succeeding rounds were void of accident, or indeed of ranch variation from the first round. The men went through on time and in good style, winning here and there a lusty cheer, and always keeping the crowd interested. By request the full score is not published. The prizes were won rs follows: First prize by Lieutenant Mays, of Edgefield Hussars; second by Fulcher, of Edgefield Hus sars; third by Walker, Eagefield Hus sars; fourth by C. A. Fleming, Richmond Hussars; fifth, John W. Clark, Richmond Hussars. AS TO THE TILT. The tournament was a success. Sabre- tilting is a manly and exciting diversion and is destined to a very wide popularity. The appearance of the Hussars was all that uld be desired, and the riding was be yond criticism The large crowd that at tended was more than pleased with the en tertainment offered aim are grateful to the hard riders of the low-country for the treat famished at the park Friday. There is do doubt shat the effurt of vesterday’s work will be to organize a cavalry coni (tan v in Atlanta within the next month, in which event our visitors of yesterday may ex ia*ct to be called back to the gate city on business before very long. The Rome Delegation. The noon passenger train of the Western and Atlantic railroad that reached Atlanta Sat irday about half past twelve o’clock had on board tbe Rome Light Guards and the Rome comet band, who ca me to Atlanta for the purpose of participating in the cele bration of memorial day. Owing to various causes which could not be avoided the en tire company did not com© with full ranks. There were sixteen men. in the delegation, which was commanded by Lieut. M. M. Pepper and Lieut. J. J. Printup. The men presented a very fine appearance and their neat bnt handsome uniforms were much admired by all who saw them. The Rome comet band, consisting of members, under the leadership of Mr. Ju lios Croed, was in uniform ana made good appearance. As we liave already published in The Constitution the names of those who bad arranged to come, it is unneces sary to give them agaiu. The two organiza tions were met at the depot by tbe military of Atlanta, and were escorted to the Kim ball, where they were .provided for in the best of manner. The Rome comet band rendered some fine music yesterday in the parade and won many laurels, while the Rome Light Guards won much praise for the care with which they executed the or ders during the display. livin K ina ^io'n of 'Sh.SS?Tcver and ague is prevalent, since the germs of ♦hat: malarial disease are inhaled from the air nJLJSv the bread made with and are swallowed from the water of such a “ 55^,K° w !t € K nd . ^ « free from region.

Erie Lake Shore Z 7i; ' Beat aud Moat Economical. Housekeepers are giving the cheap, adul terated baking powder a “wide bertn,” and why? Because experience has taught them that an absolutely pure, full strength, full weight article, such as Dooley’s Yeast Pow der, which never fails to produce light, wholesome, and nutritious biscuits, rolls, muffins, waffles, and griddle cakes of all kinds, is by far the cheapest and most economical. Perfection In Cookery. The nearest approach to perfection in articles designed for kitchen use is that of Dooley’s Yeast Powder. With very little experience the housewife or cook is always sure of delicious biscuits, rolls, bread, cake, etc., every time. Deak Bell.—Our commencement exer cises are over.

We called in at the up town dry goods store of Gay, McCleskey & Co., the other day and found them literally running over with business. And ’tis no wonder, for upon walking through their large, fine store, we were astonished at the piles of goods, and the taste with which they were displayed. They have a most beautiful stock, enough to tempt the most fastidious. We have not the space to at tempt a description of theii store and large stock, but would advise our lady friends, who have not already done so, to pay one visit to the store of Gay, McCleskey & Co. They will not need to be invited to make the second. The clerks at this bouse are very attentive and polite. In their milli nery department, the clerks were crowded with business, selling ribbons, artificial flowe-s, hats and bonnets trimmed up in the most elegant styles. Judging from the amount of business doing in this depart ment as well as throughout the house, they must be selling very cheap.
