Only two arrests made yesterday. Jockey Club races will soon come off. Savannah can boast of muddy streets. Almanacs for 1879 are now in order. A prosy man is like the clack of a mill when it is empty. Coffee supplanted champaign, on New Year’s tables yesterday. The Republican Blues will have their regular quarterly meeting to-night. The lovers of the turf will soon be happy. Guano is coming at last, prepare for an olla podedra of smells. “Please swim out,” is the latest slang expression. It ranks with “cheese it.” When will elections cease. Oh ! for a change. The Liquor Dealer’s Association meets this evening. Four or five sick men are to be seen on the street—election returns the cause. Service to-night at the Baptist Church, one and all are cordially in¬ vited to attend. The auction flag floateth again to the breeze, the tintillation of the bells fol¬ low in alluring vibrations. “Whom the god’s love die young,” is the only consolation for the defeated candidates. The Savannah Rifle Association did some fine shooting yesterday, and many a turkey was gobbled. A handsome sword for the most pop¬ ular military officer is to be raffled for at the Catholic fair. The young scamps who interrupted the play last night, got justly reproved when time, Humpty if Durnpty please.” said, “One fool at a you We would mildly suggest that Dr. Sheftall, coroner elect, in bis official capacity, political sit on death some of the men who met a yesterday.

Ludden & Bates. All parties have shaken hands across the bloody chasm. The Waver Steam Fire Engine and Hose Company, No. 2, will give a fine dinner at Collini’s next- Monday even¬ ing, the occasion being the second an niversary of their organization. The young man who was so full of expression over the New Year last night, and who grabbed the lamp post and ejaculated in loud tones, “Hurrah for h—1, whose afraid of fire,” must have had a vivid conception. Up in the Air. —While on our rounds this morning we observed a man, evidently in the employ of the Western Union Telegraph Co., adjust¬ ing the broken wires. While in the prosecution of his labors, one of the spurs on his foot by which he is enabled to climb, failed to stick in the pole upon which he was ascending, and losing his balance he came down to mother earth in a much quicker time than it is pos¬ sible for us to record the fact. Fortun¬ ately no serious injuries were sustained, but the sudden unexpected collapse caused the man to open bis eyes and to express in language plain and simple words which have a rather serious im¬ moral meaning.

He was taken to the saloon and every attention paid him that could be rendered. The party had engaged passage to New York on the steamer. ITe is supposed to hail from Union, Hudson county, New Jer¬ sey. He had been an inmate of the Marine Hospital since December 1st, heart, being treated for the affection of the of which, no doubt, he died from. Swindling Operation, —A young man whe keeps a small store on Bryan street, was victimized out of a hat in a neat way, about eight o’clock last eve¬ ning. A wild eyed individual called in and desired to look at some hats. An assortment was displayed, from which he selected a fine one. While examining and trying the same on his head, another man made his appearance at the door, and cried for assistance. The would he purchaser hastily started out and crossing the street, was soon lost to view. The proprietor was disconsolate on the failure of return of the man or the hat, and laid the matter before a magistrate this morning. Facts Focused. —Things are not generally known as they ought to be. That the evening song of the night¬ ingale is nice, but the morning lay of the barn door fowl is nicer. That the end of the longest rail is blubber. That ships they are frequently put into stays, hut only wear barnacles when they go to sea. That lovers quarrels begin,and that many end with a smack. That although one swallow may not make a summer, an inverted tack on a chair will make one spring, That the real and only system of bookkeeping is— not to lend them. That it is very difficult to keep your own peace of mind if the wife of your bosom will insist on frequently giving you a piece of hers. Sudden Demise of Mr. Richard Bradley, Jr. —We are pained to an nounce the sudden death of Mr. Richard Bradley, Jr., which happened at the Pulaski House, yesterday evening, at about eleven o’clock. Mr. Bradley has been an invalid for Lcomplication for several months of past, suffering contracted. from diseases was born in 1842, he was a dutiful son, and affectionate parent, and a true friend, and his lost will be deplored by many friends. * He was well known to our commu¬ nity as being connected with two of our well knowned and popular hotels—the Screven and the Pulaski—and his loss will be felt very materially in this re¬ spect. He leaves wife and three children a to mourn his loss. May this sad bereavement be sanctified to their good, Sneak Thieves and Tramps. —We would advise all of our citizens to be on the sharp look cut for sneak thieves and tramps. Every week our city has a new addition to her population in the way of straggling this desperadoes, and we give them warning in time as a gentle reminder- of the fact that there is nowr a very unruly and not altogether desirable make up in the population of our city. Last evening several of our efficient policemen were and on the quivivc as to the character whereabouts of one or two suspicious characters, who were strolling about in a manner creating suspicion. We doubt not but what they will be trapped and brought be¬ fore the court of justice, if they continue in their game of what seems to be not altogether pursuit legitimate or in accordance with the of an honest living. The Original Santa Claus This is to inform ail the Ladies and < jntlemen, the Misses and Masters, i id all the little ones of the city, that f »e Original Santa Claus has established 1 mself again at his old headquarters, 8 4th Mrs. Myers, No. 35 Whitaker j i reet, where he will hold his levees i II id receptions daily, from early morn j t late in the evening, to shower his I ] Stock of Toys and Fancy ’ nrnense ( oodsjnto the lap of all that will come t > pay him a visit; assuring them that ty he giviug^kn bett^B»j*red a call will convince that is seasoZh^HLr to serve them! tiis Goods than e^^hefore.

The rnjui! ac* dent caused a most painful 1 which may ultimately result in th • oss ol sight, A Word for the Louise Ktng As¬ sociation. —While it is impossible for this new association, one productive of so much good, and whose object deserves the commendation and support of every right-mind man and woman, to be al¬ ways on the qui vive, yet it is always in accordance with their manifest duties and prescribed rules and regulations to have cases reported to them from time to tim°, by which, if circumstantial ev¬ idence can be had against the parties who inflict pain and outrage upon dumb animals, the cases could be pros, ecuted to the utmost extent of the law, and the parties be made to bear the penalty prescribed for their ill treat¬ ment and inhuman conducts towards poor beasts of burden. Ytesterday we observed two negroes carrying away in a small cracker wag¬ gon, a poor, maimed ar,V>«d whose back had been broken, and whose groans intense suffering. evidently showed the most The poor beast was tied down by a rope with its all fours tightly drawn up to its chin. A large tar plaster was laid across its back where the fracture had been m He, and at every turn of the wheel tl. side of wagon would rub against lL ck of the poor brute, amid the most Heart¬ rending The groans. case would have been a good one for an example, and no doubt would have afforded good material by which a salutary lesson might have been derived. Horse Notes. —Mr. N. B. Tilton has recently purchased a fine blooded horse in Macon. He is of the best Hamble tonian stock, and shows unmistakable signs of speed. Several of his progeny are in the city Capt , w Wm. Hone it i has a i beautiful l- c i thoroughbred at the Kentucky stqbles. Lovers of the track will have an op portunity of seeing this animal speed¬ ing at the races shortly. The pedigree and accurate record of this horse is a matter wink and of keep inquiry, but the knowing ones silent.
