A Serenade.
the Students of the University on Monday night
last, paid Mr. Woodfin, the Tutor of Modern Lan
guages, lately appointed by the Trustees, quite a
delicate compliment in the form of a Serenade, by
a ‘ of Amateur Musicians. Being loudly called
ior, he made his appearance, and addressed them
m a very happy strain, which was received with
heart}’ applause. Mr. Woodfin is a gentleman of
intelligence and refinement, and we consider him
decidedly an acquisition to the University. We are
not at all surprised at his expecting to find our cli
mate infested with all manner of noxious malaria.
Any stranger might form this opinion from the
number of “Doctor Factories” we have elected in
every portion of our State. Four Medical Colleges,
and a dozen M. D’s. in every little “one horse” town,
ought to be as effectual us Know-Nothingism in
checking the tide of foreign immigration.

An Editor’s Curse.
The Mt. Carmel fill.) Register is down on his de
linquent subscribers in the following ferociously sav
age style. We are, of course, not profane enough to
endorse it, but feel somewhat like the Quaker, whose
religion prevented him from cursing the bad road,
but did not hinder him from encouraging another
person in doing so:
“Send us our dues—or may you he shod with
lightning and compelled to wander through deserts
of gunpowder, your eyes he sore, and a chestnut
bur for an eye stone. May you have a hornet’s nest
in each boot, vipers in your ears, scorpions in your
bosom, and rode on a sharp rail by bog-trotters in
the night, with a two bushel bag of sand tied to
each leg. May a troop of printer’s-devils, lean, lank
and hungry, dog you by day, and may the famish
ed, stricken whost of the editor’s body haunt you by
night; and may your sorrows double daily, and
your days lengthen in the same ratio as your sor
rows are multiplied; and finally, when your cup of
sorrows is full, may you bo nibbled to death by
young ducks, and kicked to your grave by grass
hoppers.”
If these maledictions don’t bring no-paying pat
rons to a sense of justice, what will?

ing report, which was unanimously adopted.
In the Providence ot God, we have to-day been
called to mourn the lo:,s of our highly esteemed
friend and Brother, W. C. Dawson.
In this truly affective dispensation, it is not alone
the privilege of his immediate family to mourn
for the deceased was truly and in the most unlimi

munity ; born and matured in this county, he had
■endeared himself to us all by those acts of kindness
:and urbanity, for which he was so preeminently dis-
tinguished.
Brother Dawson was emphatically the friend* and
patron of our Order, and for many years an exempla
ry member of this Lodge. He was also at the time
of death, Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Geor
gia; his heart and hand were ever ready to pro
mote the interest of the Fraternity. It behooves us
to bow humbly and concede the sovereignty of
God.
Resolved, That we, his bretheren, friends and
neighbors, who have long known and admired him
in the most intimate walks o< life, do deeply deplore
this sad event.
Resolved , That with heartfelt kindness, truly ten
der to his bereaved wife and family, our sincere
conscience.
Resolved, That the Secretary furnish the family
with a copy of the foregoing, and that the same be
published in the Masonic Signet and Journal, and
■other papers.

Our cherished friend and fellow-citizen, Hon. W.

the v\arning—to be silent in awe, and with rever
ence to bow in submission.
Resolved, That as a mark of respect to his memo
ry we will wear crape on the left arm for 30 days.
Resolved, That we will attend his burial to-day
at. 4 o’clock, P. M.

To Periodical Publishers.
The editor of the Washington (D. 0.) Spectator
designs to publish, about August next, a list of all
the periodicals, from monthlies to dailies, jn the
United States—embracing California and the Terri
toiies with terms and general character, so far as
he can ascertain them.
To aid in making up his list, and in carrying out
his farther plan, he invites all publishers to send
hhn three aopies of their publications, first issued
after the fourth of July, (or such as shall contain
fullest accounts of the occurrences of that day.)
J hese he proposes to bind—one set to be filed in
the Congressional Library—one in the Library of
the Smithsonian Institution—the other for his own
sanctum.
He also requests this notice may be inserted once
or more times, in the editorial columns of his qo
temporaries. Those publishers who give it a place
and send him a copy of their papers containing it,
will be furbished with a copy of the list when pub
lished.

A Curious Case.
About a year and a half ago a widow lady by the
name of Smith, residing on SufFolk-street, in this
city, drank some water from a spring at the sea
shore, and, as she supposed, swallowed a small eel.
Since then she has been gradually getting out of
health, and at length her illness became so severe
and alarming that her life was thought to be in
great danger. No medicine or physician could give
her relief till last week, Dr. Huntoon being called
in, gave her a potion that on Saturday morniug re
lieved her of a live eel a foot in length. The eel
has been preserved in spirits, and is decidedly an
ugly looking customer. The lady is greatly reliev
ed, but thinks there is another of the “varmints”
left behind. —Lotcell News.
Savage Prize Fight in Massachusetts,

Anangements having been in contemplation for

1 he men fought like tigers for about three hours

Cotton.
It is said there is reason to believe that one of the
greatest speculations that has taken place for years,
is now going on in cotton. The parties are said to
be residents in New York, England and the South
ern States, aided by the banks of New York and the
South. The object is to get possession of so much
of the crop as to control the market, and run the
prices very high. It is said it will require an in
vestment of $26,000,000 for five or six months, to
effect the object of the speculators.— Times.
Execution of James McCombs.
We find the following paragraph in an exchange
paper.:
Columbia, April 25, 1856.—James McCombs, the
convict, who was sentenced to death at the late
term of the Court of Oyer and Terminer, for the
murder of Thomas W. Cross, expiated his offence
on the scafiold at ten minutes after one o’clock this
afternoon. He mounted the platform with a firm
step, exhibiting no symptoms of fear, and express
ed his willingness to die. The rope broke and the
prisoner fell, and on reviving, showed signs of great
agony. On being again suspended, his hands got
loose, and he grasped at the rope round his neck,
so that it was with great difficulty that the execution
was accomplished. The scene throughout was hor
rible. Many spectators, including females,were
present.

the country. Our readers will enjoy his^, musing
report of the lecture on astronomy :
Mister Editor: Perhaps in a letterary pint of view
aour town haint been so forrerd as she orter. While
Polly-tioksand the millingtary interest has been car
ried furder perhaps than in any other place on the
airtb, yet exceptin my own case, litteratoov has’nt
gone beyond coarse handwriting an the single rule
of three. Ferlosofy has been quoted in this market
below pork; syence hasn’t compared with syder,
string beans has generally sot higher than stronomy,

Jemes begun by obsarvin that es any body sup
posed that the stars warn’t a heap bigger than they
looked, they was almighty behind hand. Why,
says he, there’s that ar leetle shiner called Satan,
says he, don’t look bigger than a tetter, and yet, ac
cording to Kerklys—who knows the heavenly bod

the Tame and the Wild. The fastis peaceable—
tother aint. Ths fust ortes is made of old moons as
aint tit for service, and is called by the oneddikated
shoutin’ stars, but we of the schools call em metres.
This difference led the speaker to remark that larnin
is'every thin. . ;
The wild kind, say's Jem es, is a different critter;
bein composed of kinebelous matter, hyfolution gass,
oxside of east iron, an salts of harmonia, makes it
highly salvage an ohsartin. They fust appeared
about Deuteronomy or perhaps a little later in the
year six, and was diskivered spontaneously from

Rut haow, -says Jemes, we conics to consider their

the moon’s‘wondreus tale!’ Why the tails of all
the planets in the cideral heavings wouldn’t make
one for a fust rate wild comic! Longer than the

JrSP'A member of the North Carolina Legislature
made a decidedly good ‘ hit” a short time ago. A

ground that ‘‘such a law would make them more de

Schoolmaster, after giving one of his schol
ars a sound drubbing for speakingbad grammar,
sent him to the other enu of the room to inform an
other boy that be wished to speak to him, and, at
the same time, promising to repeat the dose if he
spoke to him ungrammatically.
The youngster, quite satisfied with what he had
got, determined to be exact, and thus addressed his
fellow pupil:
“There is a common substantive, of the masculine
gender, singular number, nominative ease, and in
an angry mood, that sits perched upon the eminence
at the other side of the room, wishes to articulate a
few sentences to you in the present tense.”
f-gpThe New York News mentions that a mali
cious bridesmaid played a very handsome joke off
upon a newly wedded couple. She put them upon
a clock-bedstead and wound it up for “four.” The
alarm of the young couple maybe imagined, but not
described, when in the midst of the lady’s first sleep
she was awakened by the horrible din of the alarm
mingling with her husband’s “what’s that.:'” and be
fore she was thoroughly awake she was violently
tossed on the floor. Jumping up, she ian to her
friend’s room, crying, “I’ll have a divorce—it’s in
famous —I’ll never speak to him again—he’s a mon
ster.” Good gracious!” cried her friend Libby, in
affected astonishment; “w r hat the matter, dear, do
tell!” “He —he—he,” sobbed the weeping bride,
and stopped. “He what?” asked her friend, “kissed
you?” “No, no!” vehemently exclaimed the other;
“he has thrust me out of bed!” Thd matter was,
however, explained, and there has been no divorce.
At a sale of furniture that took place in a
country town, among the lookers on were a few Irish
laborers; and upon a trunk being put up for sale,
one of them said to his neighbor:
‘Pat I think you should buy that trunk.”
‘An’ what should I do with it ?’ replied Pat, with
some degree of astonishment.
‘Put your clothes in it,’ was his adviser’s reply.
Pat gazed upon him with a look of surprise, and

Gentlemen of the Jury : There are four
points in this case. In the first place, we contend
that we never had the plaintiff’s horse; second, that

JglP The following epitaph upon an infant, speaks
to the heart:
Beneath this stone, in sweet repose,
Is laid a mother’s dearest pride;
A flower that scarce had waked to life,
And light, and beauty, ere it died.
God, in his wisdom, has recalled,
The precious boon his love had given ;
And though the casket moulders here,
The gem is sparkling now in heaven.

were a variety of opinions on the subject. Three
months ago, the mother boldly went to work with
Holloway s Pills, which very quickly performed
their part, for in six weeks the young lady was in
possession of the most robust health ; after every
advice and medicine had failed. They are an ex
cellent medicine for young ladies entering into wo
manhood.

Dr. Herron having long received a liberal pat
ronage from, his numerous friends throughout this
community, together with various calls from a dis
tance, begs leave to tender his thanks to all whom
it may concern; wishing them to remember that he
continues at his old stand, near Penfield.
Having associated with him D. 11. Herron, in the
practice of Medicine, in its various branches, is now
more fully prepared to attend to chronic cases at a
distance, upon the same liberal terms that he has
done for several years, namely : any person who be
ing afflicted with any form of disease, that will write
out their symptoms, and inclose therewith five dol
lars, and send the same to our address, will receive in
return, medicine and directions to suit their case, for
one month. Many persons have been treated and
cured upon this plan, with a great saving to the af
flicted; some of them living from 50 to over 100
miles, numbers of whom we.have never seen, while
we have had the consolation of meeting others after
their convalescence.
The undersigned lias been closely engaged in the
practice for more than 20 years, adhering strictly to
the use of sanative remedies which are used in the
Reformed Practice; having had much experience in
the treatment of female diseases peculiar to this cli
mate. D. HERRON, M. D.
Penfield, Greene county, Ga., April 2d, 1856.
N. B.—Almost every person wishing to apply for
our remedies can have their symptoms written out
by making application to their family Physician.
