Tilings cannot ad here and exist long in tile present state of abnormal quiet and almost death-like still ness. What are wo to do for the Summer? As everything promises to grow duller and duller until it reaches an ideal of ab solute dullness, wo suggest that some of our enterprising young men who constant ly complain of the hard times go into tho business indicated by tho following ad Ver mont from the Atlanta Vonstitution. The thing is bound to be successful, and re quires a very small - outlay of capital. While engaged hi it, a hmn can lounge around in the shade perfectly careless of the general complaint of hal'd times, dull ness, or any other of the evils that afflict mortals. There is not the slightest dan ger of financial failure or bankruptcy in this business. It is a safe, sure, and speedy way to obtain the beginning of an inde pendent fortune. A good general idea of this lucrative business may be gained from the following: Wanted—To engage 100 able bodied men, in a few weeks, to pick blackberries on halves.

There are some famous spellers among the enlisted contestants. ‘Upon the whole, the quality ofj the selling is apt to be good-much better than that of tho average bee. This is a high tribute to the intelligence and spelling proclivities lof our community. Tho chief marshal, who has boon selected, is a well known gentleman of this city, and ho says he is impatient to be clothed with the supreme authority with which he will he invested on the approaching momentous occasion. It is hinted that after the classes lidve failed they will seize the learned gentle men by whose wordy assaults they were overcome, and retaliate by putting them through a most thorough examination. In our opinion this is nothing but justice, and of course the learned gentlemen will not object to it. They havo a bee In Atlanta two or throe times a week. Of the last one the Com monwealth says: The spelling bee last night was a finan cial success if we may judge by the crow ded house that assembled to witness the performance. Tho fun was good, but the spelling on the whole was poor. We hope our bee will be equal to the one spoken of in a financial point of view, and excel it in the quality of the orthography ; there exhibited. The committee who seem j to be the managers of the affair have i chosen Worcester as the authority for the ! occasion. The price of admission will be low, and ; everybody ought to attend. Proceeds will j be donated to the Memorial Association. • A Whale. Yesterday afternoon a young son of Mr. j J. (J. Porter, and another boy went out on the branch which runs near the cemetery, j to practice with a pistol. They stopped at : the foot of the hill just beyond the eem-1 etery and commenced shooting. After; firing a shot or two they heard a conside rable spluttering in the water. They looked in the branch and in a little j hole which was near the roots of a tree, they discovered a huge fish flounder ing about. They captured him without j any difficulty, and bore him to tho city j on a forked pole, with all tho glory of boy- j ish triumph. The fish was a monster of! the buffalo species, and weighed nineteen pounds. This is certainly the largest fish ever caught in a branch. It was pur chased by Mr. James T. Cook, the butcher. When cut open a largo dish full of roe was obtained. Of course the fish was not bred in the waters where he was caught. Du-; ring the late high rise of the river he man- j aged to get into the braueh and swam too j high up to get back. The boys that caught will be the heroes of the day.

This important body, composed of a very largo number of intelligent and ae- ! complished ladies and gentlemen, willj hold its ninth annual meeting at Griffin, in j the hall of the Female College, on 4th, sth i and Gill of May next There is a strong probability that tho at tendance both of delegates and visitors will be very large, and the exorcises unu- i sualiy interesting. We suppose that, as j usual, the railroads will carry those at- j binding the convention to Griffin and re- j turn for one fare. Those conventions are invariably pleas ant, entertaining, and highly instructive. Those skilled in tho art of teaching meet the best modes of instruction, and in the discussion of various literary topics. They arc productive of much good, and surely tend to an enlargement of views among the instructors of the youth of the coun try. We have no doubt but that these an nual meetings of our teachers will do much toward improving them, fitting them for a better discharge of their high and re sponsible duties, and hence will greatly improve the general education of tho coun try.

CoLUMDO-q Ga., April ffth, 1875. | 7b Vflte Honorable Mayor and Council of j (blumubus: TITLE TO WATER LOTS. By Alderman Brannon— WlioreuH, a question has been raised as to the rights or the city in reference to the water lots in this city, and tho duties and obligations of the parties holding said lots under the grants from the city; and whereas, it is proper on the oue hand that the rights and interests of tho city be duly ascertained and protected; and it being a matter of public Interest that the question of the title to said lots be definitely and certainly understood. Therefore, be it Resolved, That the Finance Committee be, and tiiey are hereby instructed, to en quire fully and investigate all the mat ters touching such rights of the city, and report to this Council what steps or action it may be necessary to take in reference to the sumo. Adopted, anil on motion referred to the Finance Committee. Tho undersigned Committee, to whom was referred the resolution above, relative to the title of tho water lots in this city, after having made investigation concern ing tho same, beg leave to submit the fol lowing REPORT. The General Assembly passed an Act, j approved December 22. isle, as follows: Sec. I. Authorized the Mayor and Coun cil of Columbus to detine Bay st., Ac., and to lay off' Water Lots, Ae. Sec. 11. Be. it further enacted, That the Mayor and Council of the City of Colum bus, may, and are hereby authorized to dispose of said water lots, by sale or lease, for such times and on such terms as they may deem best for the interest of said city, and to execute titles to the same. Sec. 111. Repeals conflicting laws. On tlie 19th of August, 1841, the City Council adopted a resolution authorizing the Mayor to employ a competent Surveyor to lay off tlie water lots aed make a map of the same. In pursuance of which, John Bethune. Surveyor, was employed, who laid off the water power along Bay street into thirty-seven V6l) water lots, from the soutii line of Franklin street to the north line of Crawford street, each lot contain ing seventy-two (72) feet north and south, arid presented a map of the same the oth dav of December, 1841. The (lay of December, 1841, the Mayor and Council sold the lots of even numbers of the said survey, to-wit, num bers 2,1, 0,8, 10, 12, 14, 10, 18, 20, 22, 24, 20. 28, 30. 32, 31, 30, to John 11. Howard and Josephus Echols for the sum of one hun dred dollars, and for and in consideration further of the performance by said How ard and Echols, of certain conditions in said deed of conveyance named. The fol lowing are the. CONDITIONS. Messrs. Howard and Echols should erect a suitable dam across the river at a desig nated point on or above lot No. one, so that when said river is at its usual height five feet head of water may be obtained on lot number one, and an increased head on each of tlie lots below it, by an almost level canal or race, and to construct and form a safe and well constructed canal or race extending from said darn through all of said lots, said dam to be so high, and said canal or race so capacious that when said river falls to the lowest Insight at which it usually stands in very dry weather, all the water of said river may as it runs down pass through said canal or race, and keep said dam and race forever in good repair. The said lots of even numbers and their im provements, (and no other property what ever) to be forever liable for the payment of any damage which said city or any person or persons or company of persons to whom they may sell and convey any one or more of said lots of odd numbers may sustain by reason of a failure to com plete said race or canal, or to keep the same and said dam in good repair; and to commence in good faith and not eva sively, the erection of said dam and the construction of said race or canal within twelve months from the 29th day of June, in the year aforesaid, and to have said darn completed, and said canal or race so far completed that said live feet head of water may bo obtained on said lot number one and available for propelling machinery within twenty-seven months from the date hereof, and to fully complete said canal or race within live (a) years from tlie day and year last aforesaid; and in the event of a failure to erect said dam and said race within the time limited, said lots of even numbers shall revert to said Mayor and Council. (See Record Book No. 3, Page 42. Wo find that on the 22d October, 1842, at the request of said Howard A Echols, the Mayor and Council exchanged with them Lot No. 1 for No. 4, and instructed the City Attorney to draw the deed for said ex change. -Bee Record Book No. 3, page 78. July 31st, 1844, Council ordered a quit claim deed to l>e made to John J. Boswell A Cos. to Lot No. 21. I Bee Record Book No. 3, page 270. On the day < >f , 1843, the Mayor and Council, for the sum of five thousand dollars, and certain covenants and condi tions, conveyed to John H. Howard the water lots of odd numbers from one to thirty-seven inclusive. A copy in sub stance of said conveyance may be found immediately following, and is made a part of this report. For the action of the City Council relative thereof, reference may be had to Record Hook No. 3, page 179. State of Georgia, Muscogee County: This indenture, made and entered into this day of , in the year of our Lord, one thousand night hundred and forty-three, between the Mayor and Coun cil of the City of Columbus of the first, part, and John H. Howard of the second part, recites that For live thousand dollars, conveyed to said Howard certain water lots, viz: Lots of odd numbers from 1 to 37. Covenanted and agreed between the said parties that nothing herein contained shall in anywise impair or affect the valid ity of a contract entered into by the said Mayor and Council with J. J. Boswell in 1872, as the same appears on minutes of City Council for said year; but that the rights and interests thereby conveyed to the said Boswell for lot No. 21 in said sur vey and hereby reserved, and the rights of the party of the first part now existing, or which may hereafter accrue by the non-pcrformonce of the conditions of the said contract by the said Boswell, are hereby conveyed to the said John H How ard. And it‘is hereby covenanted and ’ agreed that Howard shall improve one or more of said lots by the erection of ma chinery to be propelled by water ■ .thin four years from tlie date hereof, and t hat ail Hi*' conditions limitations, restrictions and provisions of a deed made by the said party of the first part, to John 11. Howard and Josephus Echols, bearing date in De cember, 18D. for the lots of even numbers, shall be and are hereby made a part and parcel of this conveyance, and shall be binding upon the partiosa hereto in all in tent, and purpose as if the same were hero in specifically set forth. Restricts from erecting a bridge across the river. Reserves right of way across the river through said lots at a place known as the Basin, and requires a road kept open from Bay street to tho Basin. the canal, as in deed to Howard and! Echols, shall terminate at said basin, and j inflow the space allowed for the road an- j other canal or race shall commence, tak- j ing its water out of said basin, which shall j extend through all of said lots below, and shall bo of sufficient capacity to supply all of said last mentioned lots with a sufll- i cient quantity of water to propel the ma-1 chinory effectually, which shall or may he I placed and erected thereon. Provided that this alteration of said original contract shall in no wise im pair the validity and force of any bond, obligation and agreement heretofore en tered into by said Howard and Echols, conditioned for the faithful performance of t heir said contract. And it is herebv further expressly cove nanted and stipulated by and between the said parties, that the title hereby convey ed shall bo subject to all the conditions contained in the aforesaid conveyance to Howard and Echols respecting the build ing of the dam and race or canal therein mentioned, so that lots of odd numbers hereby conveyed, and the lots of even numbers in said conveyance mentioned, shall stand upon the same footing with re gard to their liability to revert to the said Mayor and Council, and so that, should saiu lots of even numbers bv virtue of said conditions, or any part thereof, or failure to comply with the same (saving the alter ations heroin before specified), revert to said part* of the first part; then the said lots of odd numbers hereby conveyed shall also, and for the same cause, revert to and become the property of the party of the first part: and also that the said lots of odd numbers hereby conveyed shall re vert to and become the property of the Mayor and Council, for ami on account of the refusal and failure of Howard to per forin Ida contract as herein set forth. Your Committee further find that at a meeting of Council, February 17,1844, John ■ H. Howard presented a petition for per mission to extend the time for the comple tion of the dam across the river beyond tho time limited in tin*, deed to Howard and Echols, which petition was favorably considered, and the time extended to the Ist of November. The reasons for which extension are stated in Record Book No. 3, page 227. By the terms of the deed of December, i 1841, to Howard and Echols, and also by the deed of 1843 to Howard, the lots of even numbers convoyed by the former, and the lots of odd numbers conveyed by t ie* latter, should revert to the city on the failure of the grantees to perform condi tions, to-wit: They were to commence the erection of tho dam and the construction of the race within twelve months from the 29th of June, 1841. Tiiey wore to have the dam completed, and the race finished j to a specified extent within twenty-seven | months from said date, and they wore te fully complete the race from the dam ox- I tending through the thirty-seven lots with | in five years fiom said 29th of June. 1848. Your Committee feel satisfied from their investigations that all the conditions Im- I posed upon the said Howard and Echols, I and John H. Howard, in the aforemen [ tinned two deeds of conveyance named, were by them substantially performed within the times specified, except the last, and perhaps the most important one, viz: to fully complete the race extending from the dam through all the thirty-seven lots by the 29th of June, 1846. It will be observed by reference to said deeds, that the first named required a continuous cu- j nal or race to he constructed from tin* dam J through all the lots, while tho second va- j ri*d the condition in the first so far as to j allow the race to have a terminal point at a place called the basin, to which a road ' was to lx* kept open from Bay street, and below the space allowed for said road an other race should be constructed to take j the water from said basin through the; lots below it to No. 37. It is apparent te j your Committee?, and a fact patent to every S citizen of the city, that said race has not! been constructed as by the conditions of said deed required. In pursuing our investigations further \ on this point, we find some reasons for : this apparent breach by the said gran-! tees of this part of their obligations, which we give below: Before tho expiration of the time within i which said race was to be fully completed, j the said Howard and Echols presented a l memorial to the Mayor and Council set ting forth certain facts (as may be seen by i reference to page 351 Record Book No. 3, and which your committee ask to make a part of this report), and prayed that they ; might be relieved from their obligation to ! complete the race within any specified ! time- for the purpose (among others; of enabling them to make fee simple titles, I free from any conditions, to any one who might, desire to purchase any of said wa- j ter lot s. This memorial bears date the j 19th of April, 1845; a little more than four-! teen months prior to the time limited for' the completion of said race by the terms of tho conveyance. This memorial is a long one, and wo do | not deem it necessary to copy it in full, as j reference may be had to it in the Record Book, ml as''it is sufficiently explained by the action of Council had thereon on said i Itn.li April, 1845, which wo now give in ! exteno. The resolution of Council is pro-: faced by the following preamble : Whereas, John H. Howard and Josephus Echols represent to the Mayor and Conn-1 cil of tlie city of Columbus, that upon tie*! completion of their stone canal in this city, now f in progress (a large portion of , which has been completed), water power enough will have been commanded to drive more machinery than will be put on the water lots sold to them, for many years; and that building another canal from the basin through lots below, would bo for the present an unnecessary expend iture of money, which could be more ad- ■ vantagcously employed in building facte- j ries; and the said Howard and Echols, having, in a full and satisfactory manner, 1 complied with the most important condi tions annexed to the conveyance made to j them -that is, putting machinery in oper- j ation on one of said lots within loss than i half of the time allowed them; it. is Resolved, That after the completion I of the canal walls, now in progress, within ! the time prescribed in said conveyances, j the conditions in said conveyances eon- i tained respecting the dam, canals and races therein mentioned shall bo deemed j and held as fully complied with, allowing | them to do the remaining portion of the! work at such times as.they may find it. j conducive to their interest. Resolved further, That the work in ques tion has progressed so far, and so much j has been invested in it, that the City has i the highest security for the ultimate com pletion of tlie whole, in tho fact that it is now unquestionably the interest of the j parties concerned to do what the condi-; tions referred to are designed to enforce.; Resolved further, That it is to tho in terest of tho city, as well as the parties immediately concerned, that they should invest their money in building factories! rather than in an additional canal, which j must remain idle for many fears should ! it be now built. After the passage of the foregoing reso lutions the city Council, at a subsequent mooting, to-wit, on the 21st April, 1845. rosolvld to call a meeting of citizens ami submit to them the question of approval or rejection of the release granted by (knmeil in accordance with the prayer of the memorial of Messrs. Howard and Echols. Record Book No. 3, page 345. We are unable te say whether the citi zens took any action in the matter or not, as no reference is made to it in proceed ings of Conned. Tho next meeting of Council after this i was held April 2(, 1845, when Alderman Morton offered the following, which was adopted: Resolved, That the resolution passed the 19th ingt., releasing Messra. Howard and Echols, only intended to release them from such conditions of their contract with the Mayor and Council us relates directly to tlie building of the canal or race from the basin or termination of the canal or race now commenced down to Crawford street, or in other words, the lower canal.! and is not intended to release Messrs.; Howard and Echols from, or modify any of the conditions respecting the dam, , upper race, which is now commenced*# fisheries, right-of-way, hauling of gravel,! keeping the dam and upper race in good roioiir forever. Your Committee desire further to say j that they have given a full history of this j matter, that your body might thoroughly ! understand it. In their opiniou it is a ! matter of much importance that the ques- 1 tion of title to this property should be i finally and fully settled. Many, believing that there could be no question as to a perfect title, have, in good faith, invested * heir earnings in factories built upon these i low- In our opinion the title now held by ! tiie \Vater Lot Company from tho city is; good and valid, and that all the condition* have virtually been complied with.

V e are happy to boo Judge W. F. Wil- j liarns on tho streets again. He has almost i recovered from a long and painful illness. We congratulate him upon his convales-1 cence. Tim darkies who go to school at the old j Temperance Hall are extremely musical, j Their morning meiodies are heard far and ; wide throughout the city. Beall wood is going to have a famous , candy pulling on Friday night. A previ-; Oils engagement for the spelling bee will , prevent our acceptance of a kind in vita- ! tion to be present. The bright moonlight nights we are hav- ; ing now are the delight of the sentimental ! j youth, but the abomination of practical l chicken thieves. I An Atlanta dentist Is so expert that he ; does work with very little effort, and only ' charges a man eight dollars to knock out j the old snags and put in a full set, war- i : ranted not to ache or decay. | We heard one man tell another yester- ; day that lie was a parody on man, and the j fellow that made the remark is still alive i ! and in good health. It is probable that Hon. S. S. Cox, of New I York, will visit Atlanta very soon, and ad-1 dress the people on the topics of tlie day. [ His r(mutation as a popular orator is wide , *spreau. Quills ar& defined by a modern satirist j tube things which are sometimes taken > from the pinions of one goose to spread ! the opinions of another. A game <f chess between Europe and New York, started in 1859, has just been concluded. The New Yorker, F. A. Bren zirigor, was victorious over his foreign an tagonist, Dr. Brenzinger, of Germany. The time-honored game of drafts has | boon revived, and will be one of the aniuse | merits to be enjoyed in the shade during ! the coming month. The annual Teachers’ Convention of Georgia will convene in Griffin on the 4th of May, and continue in session for three days. A fine programme has be* :i ar ranged, and an unusually large attend ance is expected. The city has been unusually quiet for j | the past throe days. Towards the last of ! the week wo hope] to see a little heathful [excitement. [ A Vermont congregation allowed their I church to be sold on a mortgage, but, then, the preacher had runaway, and the dca- ( ! com were off hunting. Tim mails come with pleasant regularity now. The ice isn’t quite so thick over the Northern railroads. A Minnesota sheriff carried a bullet in j his head for ten years, and when they re- j moved it, the other day, he became fool ish. They are looking !*<:• someone to j shoot him again. We have the champion speller of the ! State. He has never been known, even in I his earliest infancy, te) make any sort of i an error; and now ho is a paragon of orthographic excellence. However, to alle viate all fears these remarks may have aroused in tlie minds of the contestants for | Friday night, we will stale that our man * positively refuses to go into the bee. He is very timid, and before such a crowd he doubts whether lie could spell his own name audibly. W. TANARUS. BUITII, Natural ArtUt.
