barto that Burrus A Hoffman’s shire,
which is situated near Judge Johnson's
residence, was on fire, Mr. Roberta hur

A fire had been lighted under tho house,
and dry fuel placed all around it. In a
short time the house would have been in
flames. By active exertions, the fire was
put out aud the store saved.

The colored population which composes
tide useful company were happy yester
day afternoon. They donned their ml
shirts and marched in gay procession
through the city, carrying with them
their trusty engine, and “keeping time in
a sort of music rhyme to the tintinnabu
lations" of fife aud drum. Disregarding
the mud ami slush, they marched through
all the principal streets, followed by a
miniature array of little negroes. If you
want to make a darkey supremely happy,
just put a red shirt on him, put him In frout
of a fire engine and behind a bass drum.
The company had a grand b.ili at night,
at which, we suppose, they had a fine j
time. We were glad to sec them enjoy |

Mayer's Court.
This tribunal did not adjourn in honor
of tho hallowed 22d. On the contrary, the
liveliest session jof the month was held
that day. A white man, who ought to
have known better, was charged with
"cussing out” a friend on general princi
ples, and fined *5. The fine was after
wards made *2.30, In consideration of mit
igating circumstances.
John Gilmer, colored, was proven to have
been very disorderly and 111-behaved. He
was fined *3. Declining to advance this
amount, he was sent to the guard-house
for five days.
Aaron Green and Charles Hough were
both accused of disorderly conduct. Aarou
came out with flying colors, but Charles
became quite confused in Ids mazy proof
of Innocence, and was fined $2.50.

On Monday, Tom Marshall, a well
known negro thief, was examined before
j Justice McOahey, on charge of a little
! mischief which he did nearly a year ago.
In the Spring of 1874, he stole a large
j number of chickens from Mr. P. S. Brad
ford. He sold most of them to Mr. A. V.
| Boatrito. The officers of the law got on
Tom’s track and were about to capture
him, when he escaped from the city aud |
made his way to Macon, He soon got
into mischief at his new house and served
quite a term up-u tiie chain gang of that
city. He recently got through his
; troubles there and returned to Columbus,
j The policemen had not forgotten tho un-
I dent feud, arid on Sumlay Policemen Me
| Each ran and Robart-s arrested Tom for
| his chicken stealing.
Ills preliminary exam i out ton bx>k
j place before Justice MeCahey on Monday
afternoon. Mr. J. I). liambo appeared for
the defense.
After hearing the evidence, his Honor :
required a SSO boud for Tom's appearenc*'
at the County Court, Tho boud was not
given and the prisoner was sent to jail.
! It has been said that “murder will out.
i This maxim is generally true,and judging
from tho said experience of Tom Marshall,
we.should think that the same thing;
couid be affirmed of chicken stealing.

On Monday a rather important change j
took place iu the arrangement of the city j
police. Recently there has been so much ■
mischief at night and as there seems t< > j
he no sign of any cassation, it was thought |
that there was more necessity for a vigi- j
lant watch at night than at any other;
I time. Accordingly only three policemen
( are now on duty during the day aud nine
iat night. We like this new arrangement, j
and hope that its good effects may &>n !

cord.
There is jx*rhaps no minister in the
Methodist denomination, and we might
possibly go farther without fear of contra
diction, and say in any Christian denomi
nation, that can show a more serviceable,
devoted and brilliant record, for the pe
riod, than the Rev. A. M. Wynn, pastor of
Wesley Church, of this city.
We had a call from him on Saturday
last, when he informed us that that day
was the anniversary of his silver wedding,
being twenty-five years married.
He had boon engaged in the ministry for
the past twenty-seven years, ami during
the whole of that time he has never failed
to fill his pulpit two Sabbaths in suee'es
sion, no matter what the circumstances;
were that surrounded him. He has til led
his place when he was scarcely able to
stand; has travelled through wind and
rain, cold and heat, during this long pe
riod of his ministerial service, and hue
never asked for, nor had, two weeks vaen
tion during the time.
The head hof this beloved divine who
lias endeared himself to our people of .-vo ,
rv denomination, has been so feeblo for i
the past three or four weeks, that the j
memrtrs of his congregation have pre
) vailed upon him to take a two weeks vam-
I t-ion and seek recreation in Florida. Ac- 5
cordingly on Wednesday last he teft for
: Meilisivilie to be the guest of Mr. George
I w. tV yllv, Where he will, to use his own
i words, “give way to his feelings and tot [
nature have its sway."
We wish him a pleasant time, and trust'
Unit he may be fully restored to health
and vigor on his return to his charge.— j

Tiie Presbyterian church was tilled on
Sunday afternoon, with the friends of the

H. Nall, who made some touching remarks
upon the life and virtues of the deceased.
He preached from a beautiful text in the

We have not lost all our patriotism.
Perhaps we have not the best cause to love
i our present Government with the tender
j ami ardent affection which characterized
| our forefathers, but it seems that there is
| still among our people some love and re-
I speet for the birthday of one whom all
good men admire and venerate. Tin* ob
-1 servance of the Twenty-Second* was. !n-
I deed, pretty general In the city. A large
I number of our people did not pursue their
! regular avocations in the afternoon, while
| bankers, editors, printers, and all other
| gentlemen of leisure and dignity, did no
! tiling during the whole day except, stand
I upon the corners and pity the poor, <>p
j pressed mortals who are obliged to work
j all the time. In the afternoon the fair sex
| were out in force. The streets presented
! a gayer appearance than they have for
months, and in some parts of the city the
j sidewalks were almost blocked up with
• j>eople.
i Both the military companies were out
i in their new and dashing uniforms. The
Columbus Guards, under command of
' Capt. Wm. S. Shepherd, numbered about
; thirty men, rank and file. Tlielr uniform
is of rich dark blue dotii, trimmed with
i gold, and presented a fine appearance.
I The company halted in front of Moore’s
! Art Gallery to h&ve its photograph taken.
| In the view of the artist and so many fair
| spectators their expression was fine, and
j the picture will doubtless be good.
! The City Light Guards were commanded
| by Capt. W. A. Little, and numbered about
I thirty-six men, rank and lito. They have
lan elegant uniform, and are certainly a
' soldierly body of men. Their appearance
was highly complimented on all sides.
Both companies paraded the streets, and
were, of course, the centre of attraction.
We are proud that Columbus
j two such gallant and handsome military
I oompanics.
At night the bull of the City Light
Guards, to which the Columbus Guards
I and the friends of the company were in
, vited, was largely attended. The dancing
! was kept up until a late hour, ami the
whole affair passed off as “merry as a
marriage bell.” Both uniforms looked
brilliant by gas-light, and w hen the gal
lant soldier boys walked proudly over tiie
floor beside the fair ones of our city, we
could not but admire the excellence of
j beauty and chivalry. The day passed off
! nicely, and it was very proper that it
I should be closed by so pleasant an enter
| tainment as the gallant City Lights pro-
I pared for their guests.

On Sunday we gave an account of a
j daring robbery of the basement or lec
ture room of St. Paul’s Church, which took
j place last Friday night. It seems that the
j cupidity of tiie church robbers was not
| satisfied with this ravage. Early Satur
day night the lecture room was again
broken open and a heavier haul than tiie
former made upon it. A fine sewing ma
! chine, which U‘longed to Mrs. Dr. Wood
| ruff, ami which was valued at SIOO, was
| taken away. Quite an amount of material
I upon which the ladies had been at work,
was also taken.
On Saturday morning Rev. Mr. Branch,
the pator, uggwted the propriety of re- i
moving all tho article's of value from tiie |
I l>as<*mcat to a place of greater security.!
