Can't sneak Against the circus

In one of our courts yesterday evening,
one of our most eminent legal gentlemen
was engaged in the argument Of very i'm
portant case which has claimed the attention
of the court for several days past. Just
about the time he was making a strong
point, the circus band commenced dis
coursing sweet music on the Square and
lawyers and spectators in the court room
rushed to the windows to sec the show.
Approaching the condition of things the
Judge on the bench, quietly informed the
counsel on the floor that he had better hold
up for few minutes, for said he, "Ii mat
tiers not how good lawyer may be, he can
speak against the circus"

PULASKI.

PreparatiOns for Rebuilding on the
Late Burned DIstrict-Other I'm
prOvements-NeW Episcopal Church.
A correspondent at Pulaski referring to
the recent fire at that place, informs US that
preparations are already made for immedl-
ate rebuilding and handsome, uniform
brick block will take the place OF the for
mer old-fashioned, unsightly and tumbling
down edifces. Our correspondent con-
cludes letter as follows;
Pulaski, in its internal improvements,
seems to be going ahead. Many new stores
and residences of a substantial charact
are going up, and the streets are IN
dergOing a process of macadamizing
and grading. The Episcopal Church,
now holding their services at Odd
Fellows Hall have secured an eligible lot
and are about to erect a substantial and
churchly building Of stone. The pastor,
the Rev. Augustin Stanley, is very much
respected here, and is an able preacher and
exemplary pastor. The farmers in this
section Of country speak most encourag-
ingly of the coming crops and hopefully OF
the future.
If hats (nOt straws) show politically
which way the wind blows, the Greeleyites
seem TO be in the majority at Pulaski.
There is one thing very sure, there seems
to be very few Grant men here, or If any
of that nepOtistic hero's constituents are
here to be found, like their chief, they are
very reticent. l cannot but expatiate for
awhile on the elegant private residences
around and in the vicinity OF PULASKI.
Their surrounding. gardens are beautiful in
the extreme, and evince the taste, refine
ment and culture Of their owners.
The house and grounds of Mr.. A-Cox, the
clever and enterprising owner OF Antoinette
Hall, are especially deserving OF mention.
This garden includes every description OF
tropical tree, shrub, flower, fruit and veget-
able, including them Of northern and indi-
genous growth. He has fine vinyard OF
$50 acres of the best description Of grapes,
and from a specimen Of their pressed juice,

the latin motto, sin Vino YeTitGs." Mr..
Cox is about to place handsome fountain
and fish pond in bis grounds this summer

Sixteen Years of Successful 1856
the now famous MUSTANG LINIMENT was
first made known TO the public by an ex-
tensive system of advertising. From that
time to the present, the demand for il has
been steadily increasing until it has taken
the lead of all embrocations, lotions, ONT
ments, and other external remedies, i'm
ported or domestic, ever introduced into
the American market. In the most cele-
brated racing and trotting stables, in the
establishments of stage and city car COM
panies, and in the stables Of private gentle
men, it is the only recognized cure for such
diseases of the horse as require outward
treatment. Nor is it less valuable as a 10
cal application for some of the most dis
tressing complaints to which man is sub
jet. rheumatism, stiffness Of the joints,
neuralgia, sore throat, tumOrs, Wens, ear
ache, tOOthacse, yield to its pain-subduing,
counter-irritant properties, and buns, scalds
and cuts are healed with incredible rapidly

In yesterdays UNION AND AMERICAN,
we made mention of the mysterious disap-
pearance of L. p. Galbraith, resident of
Edgefield, who had been gone several days
from home, and his Whereabouts unknown.
Mr.. Galbraith returned to the city yesterday
and was astonished at the uneasiness in his
behalf. Being compelled to leave rather
suddenly on the railroad, he wrote note to
his wife, acquainting her of his departure
and destination, but the party whom be en-
trusted with the letter failedto deliver it.,
and hence the mystery which so alarmed
his friends.
