ltHEaHsrs The ,Sayannah River at
Lisbon on tue road to Washington, Ga,
was ''oh Monday last, about thirty feet
above low water mark-the water ex.
tending from hill to hill. Two cotton
dat boats and some fifty bales of cotton,
also RATS and floating timbers, were seen
to pass at different times during the day.
AZ the same time Little River, at
Cathoun's Mills, was in the mill and run.

Az Oade's Mill, on the same stream,

Along the Savannah, the heaviest loss
Will be perhaps In cotton, which was

awaiting shipment.
On the smaller streams, miles of feno-

HIGH WATRR-BRIDaEs GoNE.-For
some ten days psst We have had very
extraordinary amount of rain, which
oulminated in regular flood on Satur-
day last. The streams being already
greatly swollen, the very heavy rains
Saturday and Saturday night have caused
all the low grounds to be over. .Aowe.l and
many OF the bridges to be washed nway.
Ihe impossible condition OF the water
courses makes it impossible, as yet, to

been done by the high water in oil sec

A Human Hand Inside a Fish,

On the 5th ult., q fishing boats crew brought
to land large draught Of fishes at the deep sea
fishing called Fithhaland, in Shetland. Among
ling. which, on being opened, was found to con-
tain full grown hand. 1t was the left hand
and was perfectly entire. The points of the fin
gers seemed distended with blood, but the rest
OF the hand was bleaohed white. 1t was thought
that it could not have been long in the animal,
as decomposition had ,sot yet set In, and from
its rather small size and the absence of s traces
of hard work, it was suspected to be that of a
woman. As there was no remembrance OF any
recent wreck having taken place in the vicinity,
and as it is we'll known fact that there are
sometimes fearful undercurrents running be-
tween the Atlantic and German Oceans at this
place, it was coniectured that the body might
have been drifted many hundred miles from the
scene Of some unfortunate wreck. The hand
was carefully buried and the fish DESTROYED.

The Re publican romlnntIons,

The Republican nominations were made
throughout the city, on Saturday afternoon, and
detailed statement of the result appears else
where The denomination OF Mr.. Maris, for
President Of Council, was unanimous, a oompli-
ment which that gentleman thoroughly OBSERVER
by his faithful discharge of the duties OF the
place. during the past two years. Mr.. Vincent
the candidate for Treasurer, has the sympathy
OF many citizens, on account of his long resi-
dence amongst them, and his labors in behalf of
many public objects. He is entirely competent
to perform the duties of the place.
The nominations for City Council present
some strong names Among the older gentle
men are Joseph O. Rowland and John II. Adams,
both of whom, though not now members, have
formerly served in that body very acceptably.
Mr.. Febiger, Mr.. Pickels, Mr.. Bsker, Mr.. Phil
lips, and Mr.. Underwood are now serving in
Council, and their capacity is known to all. The
new nominees are John T. McLoar. John M.
Scott, Isaac Murray, and William D. Dove. All
of these gentlemen, we hope will be approved
by the people at the polls. John ?. McIiear
needs no eulogy in this community, and Mr..
Dove, Though not so we'll known, is a gentleman
OF excellent qualifications for Council Mr.. MUIR
ray made astrong run in the First Ward, last
year, and deserves to try it again, while Mr..
Scott, of the Third Ward, is energetic, popular
aud competent. These two wards are contested
ground. and there is room in them for hard
work. We hope every one who appreciates the
Importance OF electing Mr. Murray and Mr..
Scott, will give them an earnest support.

pre,Ident Grant Al onr Brnnob.


1t il the Long Branch correspondent of the
New York Tribune who thus writes Of President
Grant .
Here his manner Of living is noted only for its
lack Of extravaganza and ostentation. His lille
is as quiet and unpretending as that Of the most
modest cottager His cottage is by no means
the grand affair that was too often described
during the heat of political contest. 1t sets
back from the road some distance, and is of a
subdued order OF architecture, a sort OF mixture
Of English villa and Swiss chalet. Its oolors are
dingy, and its general appearance oy no means
as attractive and costly as ID generally supposed.
Nevertheless while it would be taken for the
residence OF quite gentleman OF position and
taste, it does not appear to be unbecoming the
President whose life here is 80 quiet and unob-
trusive, Nobody would know, from his manner
of living and his personal intercourse with the
citizens of the Branch, that General Grant occu-
pies higher station in the world than his neigh
bors. Whatever may be said against General
Grant and his administration Of the Government,
it cannot be said that his manner Of living at
Long Branch is unbecoming or ostentatious.
The family of the President have placed them
selves upon the same social level as other culti-
yated and respectable families. There il no OK.
olusion whatever. The carriage Of Mrs. Grant
is frequently seen before the cottages of other
residents and there is no indication OF a differ
enee in worldly station. When it is remembered
that the rigid social etiquette OF Washington
precludes the families of the President and Vice
President from returning calls. it will be seen
that the position which the Presidents family
have seen fit to take here is one that cannot but
be approved as the most sensible and judlcious
that could he followed.

The OoaI and Iron Inlertul..

The Reading Eagle estimates the annual con-
sumption Of coal in that city at about 100000
tons, including iron furnaces and manufactures
The above amount can be divided as follows {:
For local family use. $4,000 tons business
houses, 10 900 tons; hat manufactures and brick
yards, 10000 tons manufactures (not in iron,) }
10000 tons iron manufactures, etc.. etc mot
furnaoes,) 100000 tons and furnaces, 10000
tons making in all about 298 900 tons. This
entire amount is shipped by the Reading Co.,
by rail or canal, The charges on both highways
are the same. There are about twenty-five retail
deaersin the city, averaging in their yearly sales
from 500 to 5000 tons each. The furnaces buy di-
rect from the mines.
The Pittsburgh Iron World says The pro.
duction Of coal is in great measure suspended
in this county, some five Thousand miners being
on strike. The shipments are well nigh sus-
pended, and mastery inactivity seems to per-
wade the situation. Trade is unsettled and prices
for the future are uncertain.
