The Charleston Sews arul Courier, of Satur day, gives a lengthy account ol the kill ing of a young man in a billiard room in that city on the Fourth of July. The victim was Mr. C. Harry West, a young man about twenty years of age, son of Mr. Charles H. West, Jr., of the firm of Henry Cobia & Cos., merchants in Charleston. It appears that West was in Meldun’s billiard saloon, on j Meeting street, about 10 o'clock at j night, watching a game of billiards be ■ tween a party of gentlemen, though not apparently interested in the result. He was alone and sitting in a chair, when four young men entered the saloon. The names of two of these are not given, the others were recognized as brothers, James A. Duffus, Jr., and B. L. DnfTus. One of the brothers challenged any one in the room to play a game of bil | liards for So, when the saloon keeper j protested against any playing for mo j ney, and the subject was dropped, i After walking about the room for a few moments, James A. Duffus, Jr., and | his brother, B. L. Duffur, approached Mr. West, and when close to him, one of | the two charged Mr. West with calling | his brother a “negro.” Mr. West made j some reply, whereupon James A. Duffus, i Jr., strnck him sharply on the face, i This blow was hardly delivered when j the other brother, B. L. Duffus, struck ; Mr. West in the same manner. Mr. 1 West was evidently wholly unprepared for so unprovoked an attack, and eu deavored to get out of the way. Son ■ attempt was made by one of the gentle : men engaged in playing the game men tioned to stop further difficulty, when James A. Duffus threatened to shoot him if he did not get out of the way. Mr. West walked to the opposite side of the room and stopped, when James Duffus, who had moved towards the bar, and was about ten or twelve feet from \ Mr. W., drew a pistol, took deliberate ' aim and fired, and then in company | with his brother and two friends retreat- : ed precipitately from the room. Mr. West staggered and clapped his hand to his side and fell into a seat near the door. He commenced to expectorate blood, when he made an attempt to ; reach the stairway leading to the street. At the head of the steps he fell and soon afterward expired. The ball had entered ! the left breast just above the left nipple, | arul passed through the lung. B. B. Duffus and James A. Duffus were arrested at midnight, at their resi- j dence, in Anson street, and were taken ; to the guard house. The arrest was ; made by Lieutenant Chapman. Soon j after B. L. Duffus was released to ap- I pear when called for, and James A. j Duffus was held in custody. The coroner’s jury returned a verdict | of willful murder against James A. j Duffus, Jr., and that B. L. Duffus was j an accessory before the fact. Both of i the defendants are young men just upon | the threshold of life. They will remain I in jail until the next sitting of the Court 1 of General Sessions, which occurs on j the first Monday in October next.

The Bishop expressed the opinion | that the reports had been about as fa vorable as he had generally heard at , similar Conferences. He then endeavor -1 ed to impress upon the Cenference the ! importance of stirring up the members , of the church on the subject of Bible i reading, family worship, Ac. A highly interesting expression of views on this 1 subject was then engaged in by different members of the Conference. The following resolution, by Dr. Jas. S. .Tones, was offered aud passed by a rising vote : Resolved, That the members of the Augusta District Coufereuee pledge our selves to pray with our families as the discipline requires, aud that we urge upon our brethren by all proper means the discharge of this important duty. By Capt. T. F. Newell : Resolved, That it be made a part of yastors’ duties in this District to cor rectly ascertain and report to the next District Conference the numbet of heads of families who hold family prayers aud the number who do not. The resolu tion was passed. Dr. W. W. Hicks, Pastor of St. John's | Church. Augusta, made his report, ac companied with a very eloquent appeal I on the subject of infant baptism. The Conference proceeded to ballot j for Lay Delegates to the Annual Confer ence. The following is the result : Delegates—H. W. Hilliard, C. P. Crawford, L. Pierce, Jr., Wm. Johnson. Alternates—Dr. R. W. Hubert, W. F. j Parks, Geo. F. Stovall, W. A. Clarke. The Bishop addressed the Conference j on the subject of missions—the great de- i ; in and for the Gospel in Japan, Brazil, j Mexico and other places. Also, called the attention of the body to claims of , Emory College. Thomson was chosen as the next place ! for the meeting of the District Confer- , ! cnee aud the Conference then, on mo tion, adjourned. i Crops in Jefferson county are doing well.

Gardiner, near Sparta, had been de stroyed by fire. The Times and Planter, of the sth, gives full particulars of the fire as follows: The splendid building occupied bv Colonel Miles G. Harris, together with his son-in-law, Colonel James T. Gardi ner, formerly of Augusta, some seven or eight miles from town, was consumed by fire on the night of the 30th ult. The fire originated from an unfortu nate oversight on the part of the housekeeper, Mrs. Phillips. About 9 or 10 o’clock on the night of the burning, this lady was directed to go into a closet in one of the upper sto ries of the house in order to procure a piece of cloth which had been stored there by some of the inmates. She ac cordingly took a lighted candle and repaired to the closet indicated. In tearing off the cloth it is supposed that the ends of the loose threads came in contact with the flame of the candle, and that in her hurry she failed to notice the fac£, hastily closed the closet and returned, leaving the fire to make its way to the other combustible articles in reach, and finally to the whole house. The family were waked about 11 o’clock by the roaring of the flames. At this state it was found that nothing could be done to stop their progress. Time, however, was allowed to save all the j furniture, of which there was a very I large amount in the house at the time, j The house was said to be one of the I finest residences in the county. The ; loss will probably reach 88,000, 32,000 i ! of which, however, was covered by in-1 J surance. it, A Curious Case of Somnambulism.— j Anx Adeler, the inimitable humorist, ! (gets off the following, which our readers i will agree with us was good grounds on [ the part of a wife for an application for j a divorce a vinculo matrirnoni : We were not surpised when Mrs. j Hotchkiss demanded a divorce. Mrs. I Hotchkiss was a somnambulist, and after getting to sleep at night she would rise I and grope her way down stairs to the kitchen. Then she would do the whole of the week’s washing, and after hang ing the clothes upon the line come back to bed. The next night she would do the ironing, and the next the sweeping, and so forth. And always, when she came down in the morning, she would be astonished to find the work finished, and | she always insisted that Hotchkiss had j done it for her while she was asleep. I And Hotchkiss, the unprincipled scoun drel that he was, would smile and take the credit for it, just as much as she chose to give him, although he used to watch her get up in her sleep, and he knew well enough liow it was. And when she would throw her arms around his neck and kiss him, and tell him how very kind it was in him, that conscience less rascal would say : “Oh, its nothing, Harriet, nothing, my dear; I do it because I love my darl ing Harriet.” Then Mrs. Hotchkiss would nestle her head on his waistcoat and cry over his shirt front, and he would stand there with the air of a man who was conscious of having done a great and noble action at the cost of fearful self-sacrifice. This kind of thing con tinued for several weeks, until one night, while Mrs. Hotchkiss was wash ing shirts in her sleep, a needle con cealed in one of the garments ran into her finger and awoke her. For a mo ment she was bewildered. Then the truth flashed upon her. She went up stairs. Hotchkiss was fast asleep and snoring like a fog whistle. She shook him and waked him. He thought she was still in a somnambulistic condition; so he exclaimed: ‘See here, old wo man, lem’me alone and go down and finish up that washing.’ Mrs. Hotch kiss did not nestle her head upon hia bosom then. She nestled her hands among his hair and yelled at him, and pulled him out on the floor and ham mered him with a chair. And the next day she went for a divorce. They made it up afterward, but she stopped wash ing in her sleep, and has taken to black mailing Hotchkiss for bonnets. If he seems indisposed to disburse handsome ly she always starts for a divorce, and he succumbs. Georgia Young Ladies at the Georgetown Academy. —By the cata logue of the pupils of the Georgetown (D. C.) Academy of the Visitation, we notice that there are four Georgia young ladies attending the institution—Misses Willie Belt, Jennie E? lott, Lulie Pater son, and Meta McLaws. At the annual distribution of premiums on Friday, June 27tli, 1873, the latter young lady, the daughter of a prominent citizen of Augusta, received twelve premiums, one in each of the following branches : Rhetoric, literature and composition ; chemistry and natural philosophy; an cient and modern history and geography; Christian doctrine; arithmetic; orna mental writing; French grammar and translation; Latin; piano; vocal music; mantua work; domestic economy; and housekeeping. The same young lady received in the senior circle one of the honors, consisting of a crown and gold medal, conferred for uniform excellence of conduct. Miss Willie Belt, of Geor gia, received another of the honors. This Kentucky Lotteby. —We learn ; that the $50,000 prize in the Kentucky Lottery, was drawn by parties in Colum- > bus, Ga. The Savannah Advertiser aiul [ Republican, says : “It is a singular fact, and to many we j apprehend a tantalizing one, that the l grand capital prize ticket was in Savan nah and offered to quite a number of gentlemen. It was among the last that Major Withers had on hand and he placed it among others iu the hands of Mr. J. M. Henderson to sell. A few days before the drawing came off Major Withers received a dispatch from Gov. Bramlette, requesting him to send on to him all the tickets he had ou hand, as there were orders for them. Major W. had 24J, among which was the lucky number 20,893, which drew the SIOO,OOO prize. ♦ A Doomed Office. —A mysterious and singular fatality seems to hang over the seat of the Orangeburg Senator in the reconstructed Legislature of South Caro lina. It is a remarkable fact that not a single Senator from that county elected since reconstruction has lived to serve out his term. The Rev. B. F. Randolph, the first Senator, was killed during the year following his election. He was suc ceeded by Joseph A. Green, a carpet bagger, who died of consumption before his term expired. At the last general election, James L. Jamison, a young, healthy and vigorous colored man, was elected to the seat, and a few days ago the intelligence was received that he, too, had died. Will this fatality deter ; other politicians from aspiring to the office ? Sunstroke. —Although sunstroke or coup de, soliel is an exceedingly rare thing in this city, it is well that every one should know exactly what to do in case one should be struck. On this sub ject Dr. Woods, writing for I.ippincott’s . Magazine, says: Sweating is nature's great refrigers- : tive measure, and to keep this up large qnanties of water should be drank, not ! too cold, but without stint—quarts, if the thirst crave it. Keep sweating, and j you are probably not in immediate i danger, but when, on a July or August day, a man's head begins to throb and the surface grows dry and hot, whilst , unwonted restlessness and lassitude ! come on, as he values his life let him j >eave his work, however imperative, and , take at once a cold bath. There should | iu this disease be no waiting for the ! doctor. The remedy is so simple, the | death so imminent, .that the good 1 Samaritan passing by should save his | brother. The good Samaritan must, ! however, have a cool head to be useful. Not every man that falls unconscious on a hot day has sunstroke. There is for ! Innately one criterion so easy of appli- I cation that any one can use it. Go at once to the fallen man, open liis shirt bosom and lay the hand upon his chest; if the skin 'be cool you may rest assured that, whatever may be the trouble, it is not sunstroke. If, on the contrary, the skin be bumining hot, the case is cer tainly sunstroke, and no time should be lost. The patient must be carried to the nearest pump or hydrant, stripped to his waist and bucketful after bucketful of cold water be dashed over him until consciousness begins to return or the in tense heat of the surface decidedly abates. On a Bender. “Olivia,” writing from Washington to the Philadelphia Press, contributes this anecdote to social history: Once upon a time one of those giant intellects of a past generation gave a large dinner at one of the fashionable hotels at the capital. A private table had been set in one of the parlors, the hour of the feast had arrived, the guests were assembled, the dinner was perfect, but astonishment reigned supreme, for the host himself was nowhere to be found. Among the guests might have been seen the majestic forms of Cass and Benton. Massachusetts was repre sented by the immortal Webster, whilst the great commonwealth of Pennsylva nia had contributed her most distin guished son in the person of James Buchanan. I orrest was there, enveloped in the rosy rays of his dawning fame, | whilst the author of the “Anecdotes of I Public Men” might have been mistaken I for youthful Apollo, of some other j equally faultless heathen god. A vessel i with crowded sails at sea without a com mander, a balloon in the upper stratum without Prof. Wise iu the basket, the I political ring in Pennsylvania without i Simon Cameron, could only repres nt the situation. But James Buchanan, with his superb grace and inimitable tact, managed this social ship whilst it was in the middle of the breakers. “ Gentlemen,” said the lordly Buchanan, “we were bidden here to partake of this fine dinner. The wine is cool, all things seem ready. It is true, the host is ab sent, but that is no reason why so good a feast should spoil. Be seated, friends ! Life is brief. Let us enjoy ourselves !” The hours flew away on nimble wings ; course alter course groaned upon the table. The honest wines of those Apician days bubbled, sparkled and disappeared. The air was heavily charged with the electricity of genius, yet in the absence of the host all was serene. At last the hour of departure came. It was eleven o’clock. The door opened, and there stood the host. Angels and ministers of grace defend us ! His battered hat art jauntilly on one side of his handsome head; his sharp, white tenth still clung to the fragments of a fast disappearing cigar. “ Gentlemen,” he began, “ I’ve been to Georgetown, liic !” Said Mr. Buchanan to some of the more youthful of the company : “ Take this man to his room; he might say something he would re gret,” and so the host was led, without opposition, away. Next day, when ex planations and apologies were duly set forth, they were received in the kindest spirit, because Mr. Buchanan had paved the way for them the night before by saying to the company : “ Our host has been unfortunate. The same misfortune might have overtaken us. We have been spared. Let us be merciful to ourselves and avoid Georgetown.” In those days the duels were fought in Bladensburg, but the “ larks ” were caught in George town. A Well Merited Tribute. —The many friends of Dr. Wm. H. Tutt, in this sec tion, will be gratified to learn from the following article taken from the Chris tian Leader, of New York, June 21st, 1873, that he has been eminently suc cessful in his business in that city : It is our pleasing privilege to record the name of a gentleman who has achiev ed a signal success in the city of New York. It is pleasing because that suc cess was attained through strict integrity, undaunted energy, ceaseless persever ance and unflagging industry in bring ing before the American people a num ber of scientific preparations that have proven of incalculable benefit ft) the afflicted all over the land. Two years ago Dr. Wm. H. Tutt es tablished his laboratory in this city. His specialties were such as came in direct I competition with others that had been before the public a long time. To com ; pete with these established medicines it 1 was essential that his preparations | should possess intrinsic merit, develop | ed by scientific research, and far in ad vance of the old routine of medication. ; Besides this, it required the expenditure | of a large amount of money, which no sane man would make, unless he was j confident that the merits of his tliscov i cries would ensure a return four-fold as I soon as they were tested by the people. | Two years have proven the certainty of his calculations. His laboratory is in the i centre of the heavy business houses ; he. | has introduced the most improved ma- I chinery, employs the most expert chem -1 ists, aud keeps constantly a large mini i ber of operatives employed in putting up liis vegetable liver pills, hair dye, | expectorant, etc., and is in daily receipt j of orders from all parts of the United | States and British Provinces. Dr. Tutc has used with rare judgment that powerful lever to success, the Press, evincing a knowledge of the science of ! advertising that few possess. I In this huge whirlpool of commerce and business, thousands sink where one I swims, and a combination of sterling i qualities is requisite to attain success. Local and Business Notices.

THE MAN WHO PETS A BULLET ; through his head dies more speedily than he who is continually sending volleys of strong cathartic pills down his throat: but the ! drastic pillets are as fatal in the end as the ; leaden ball. It is only a question of time. | Common sense should teach every bodv that ! the idea of expelling disease by subverting the ; bodily vigor which is its natural antagonist, is j supremely absurd. There should be no pur- j gation without invigoration and regulation. : , These three processes should go on together. ! and they do so in all cases where Hostetter's I .Stomach Bitters are used as a remedy for dis ease or for the general debility growing out of ! a torpid state of the digestive and secretive | organs. In this great vegetable restorative are mingled three essential elements of cure : a purifying element, a tonic element, and an anti-bilious element. By these means dyspep sia. bilious disorders, intermittent fevers, sick headache, constipation, and nervous debility ! are readily cured and epidemic disease pre vented. jvh-wefrAsaAw For Loss oe Appetite.

The demand for money during tho past week has been unusually active, and the stringency of the market continues unabated. The de mand comes principally from factors and com mission merchants, who wish to supply their customers in the country. It is stated by those who are posted on the subject that the ad vances to planters sinco last January have been unusually heavy, and many assert that the planters have already receivod the full value of their crops. But the cry still comes from the country for more money, and it lias to be fur nished. The long season of wet weather and the consequent rapid growth of the grass has necessitated the employment by tho planters of and large number of extra hands”—day laborers — aud it!is to njwet this extra expenao tba* .they uow need additional pecuniary assistance. — Money brings from thirteen to twenty-four per cent, per annum, according to tho strength aud length of the paper offered for discount. There has been a small demand generally for securi ties, with slight salos, and a further decline in values. Central Railroad stock has declined from 83(a>84 to 80@81, and Georgia Railroad stock has gone down $1 per share. For Bank and Factory stocks there has been a good in quiry but few offerings. We notice an advance in Bank of Augusta of $1 50 to $2 per share — the stock now being quoted at 102J@103.

PRODUCE REVIEW. Since our last review our market has been excited, owing a good deal to the better de mand of the trade from the country, while the Western markets advance, together with an extremely light stock of Bacon and Grain; also, high grades of Flour, which command full prices at quotations. Referring to Bacon, the stock is very small. Sides advanced since last report fully Jc.; Shoulders, | to lc.; Dry Salt Meats. Ito f. Hay is scarce ; choice Tim othy will sell readily at quotations. Butter and Eggs neglected—full stock. Wheat is scarce, and fancy prices are paid for choice lots of I white and amber. Coni is also scarce and wanted at full rates. Oats are in fair demand, : with moderate stock. Flour—City and West- j ern g-ades are in moderate demand at un changed prices. Lard—stock ample and de- t maud fair at former quotations. Domestic City Mills are quiet but steady at old prices. The quotations given are for round lota ; i small orders will command higher prices. PRODUCE.
