seriously injured. The horse started on
its wild career from the front of the
Police Station, and ran at a furious rate
down the street. until the wheel of the
buggy came in contact with a tree on
the north side of Calvary Church. The
vehicle swung rapidly round, and the
occupant, vino had evidently ben in
dulgiuE freely, was thrown violently to
HE ground, but with that luck which is

in these columns, touching the we'll
known and justly popular insurance
agency of H. A. LittletOn d Co, the
impression seems TO have been con-
veyed that it was to their interest, "that
a large fire would crush the lOcals.n
We don't believe this, as we happen to
know that our local companies are in
excellent condition, and equal to any
possible emergency. 1t is proper to
state, also, that H. A. LittletOn d Co.
had nothing tO do with the writing of
the paragraph referred to, nor did they
suggest its contents. 1t was written
and published without their knowledge,
and was purely gratuitOus on u part.
A Physician " sends us the follow
ing, which invites the attention Of our
city authorities; "Taking the present
prevalence Of smallpox as a guide, espe-
cially when we take into consideration
the season of the year excessive heat
generally operating as a check, if not to
entirely eradicate it,, l would earnestly
inquire of those whose prOvincei il would
seem TO have been heretofore to give
some little heed to health matters, what
we may reasonably expect and will more

an hundred fold. Will the Hon. Mayor
and gentlemen Of the Council and Alder
men answer?''

captured in Atlanta, Georgia. Yester-

custody. Bailey hired a horse and buggy
from Hall q Co, of Memphis, on the
t~wenty-sixth of July last, and made off
with the turnout. At Salisbury, above
Grand junction, he snapped horses, and
then proceeded to Atlanta, thinking he
was secure from detection, but the tele-

arrival in that city he was promptly
locked up. Chief Athy has telegraphed
