young son of Mr. Robt RICKETTS,, living abou,
| two miles north of this place, met with seri-
o1s accident from the explosion ofgunpowder.
He in company with several young compan-
ions were amusing themselves in firing of
squibs when the powder which they had in a
bottle became ignted, and the particles strik-
ing young Ricketts, in the face and eyes in
jured him very severely. It is supposed that
he will lose the sight OF one Of his eyes il not

rendered medical aid to the sufferer This
should be another warning to our young
friends who are 10 the habit of handling gun

DRUNK IN THE PuLpIT.-A special dispatch
from Cincinnati TO the Chicago Tribune says
There was a stunning sensation to-day
in one of our Episcopal churches (St. John's)
on the occasion Of the Christmas services and
communion The rector Of this church, the
Rev. G. B. Davidson, died recently and his
pace has not yet been supplied. To-day a
minister Of Covington had been secured to Of
fcate. Unfortunately the gentleman had par
taken freely of egg-nogg before going TO the
church; and worse still, when he got there he
dived into the jug Of communion wine, drink
ing long and often of the rich Juice Of the
grape. He managed to get through the for
NAL services decenily, but by the time he com
menced on his Christmas sermon, the mixture
of egg-nogg and wine had so worked upon
him that he was badly off, and wandered sad
ly. He rambled around, jumping from one
topic to another in such way that all could
see that the man was drunk. Al last, when
the thing became nnbearable, the wardens
gave the signal and the congregation got up
quietly and left with dignity, leaving the
minister TO talk to empty benches"

THE LOUISIANA RETURNING Board
operations of the returning board in New Or
leans have not inspired even the administra-
ton organs with much respect for the returns
it has finally presented. The Chicago Tribune
says of them " It is impossible to say now
whether these returns are honest or fraudu-
lent. The Republicans in Louisiana, of
course, maintain one thing and the Democrats
another. IL is pretty certain, however that
the publication the returns wonld be a sig
nal for civil war II the city of New Orleans
were not in keeping Of United States troops
The congressional committee of investigation
now on its way TO New Orleans, may suggest
some measure of relief for that State The
Republican administration there at present is
not such as Northern Republicans care TO be
responsible for. II would be far better to re-
strict the powers of the returning board and
repeal the infamous laws which now disgrace
the statute books of Louisiana at the expense
or losing the State to the Republican party
than TO perpetnate Republican rule BY I'M
worthy means.n

FIRE ALARM.-About 8 O'Clock on Monday
night, box was seen in flames in the iewelry
store OF Mr.. Paul A. Mix, on Augusta street.
MIR. Haines, whose store adjoir.s, burst open
the door, and endeavored to extinguish the fire
by pouring basin of water upon it, but seeing
that it had gained considerable Roadway. aban-
doned it and began to remove his own proper
by, when some persons, with more zeal than
discretion, shattered the large plate glass of
Mr.. Mix's window, and effected an entrance
in that way, when the Goor was standing open.
The fire which had originated in box of litter,
into which, possibly. had been thrown a secar
stump, or half burned match, was extineuished
before much damage was accomplished. but the
loss sustained by the foolhardiness Of some OF
the would be fire-eaters, will aggregate a con-
siderable amount.
1t is but just to state that not one member of
Che fire company was engaged in the breaking,
but they were promptly on hand with their
hose to endeavor to save property,
Persons who have no control over themselves
in times of excitement should stay away from
fires altogether. They invariably smash and
break things up generally, and never effect any
good.

NEW FIRE COMPANY.-A number of gen.
tlemen assembled at the Town Hall. OH last
Tuesday night, for the purpose of organizing
a new fire company. Mr.. Jno. G. Scott, was
called to the chair, and G. L. Cook, appointed
secretary.
1t being ascertained that sufficient number
OF names had not been received, Messrs. G. A
Richardson, J. c. Marquis and Jno. McQuaide
were appointed committee to solicit addition
al members and report to meeting to be held
at the Town Hall tomorrow Friday night.
The object had in view by this proposed new
organization, as we understand it. is to put to
work some of the men who stand around at
fires, with their hands in there pockets, and to
provide fire police to take charge of the prop
erty saved. Although we are a member of the
new organi sation, we believe that the same end
could be attained by consolidating with the
Augusta Fire Company, whose efficiency in
the hour of trial has been so frequently DEM
onstrated, and by increasing its membership,
make it sufficiently large to embrace an active
fire department. as well as a fire police. So far
as material, courage, endurance, in short all the
qualities that 60 to make up efficient fremen
are concerted, the Augusta Fire company could
not be surpassed, and we believe not equalled,
and we therefore think that more good would be
accomplished by an increase of membership of
that organization and an endeavor To procure
suitable apparatus than would. result from an in
dependent company. Let all OF the energies be
directed to properly equiping the present COM
pany, which is bound hand and foot for want
of an engine, and to organize police to oper :
crate in conjunction with it, and more
good will be accomplished than if dozen new
companies were in the town,

THE New FoUNDRY.-An adjourned meet
ing of the citizens who are endeavoring to es-
tablish the new Foundry and Engine Works,
was held at the Firemen's Hall, on last Satul-
day evening, and longer time was given the
committee appointed to confer with the repre-
sentatives Of the Staunton Iron Works Compa-
ny, with view to consolidating the two con
Germs. The meeting was again convened on
Tuesday evening, and the committee made the
following report:
Your committee, charged with the duty. beg
leave to say, That no further communication
has been received from the Staunton Iron
Works Company in reference to a consolidation
with the Valley Foundry and Steam Boiler
Manufacturing Company, and that they are of
the opinion that the interests of the city and the
companies themselves, would not be promoted
by such consolidation. but that they should be
conducted AS two separate establishments, and
they therefore recommend that, if it can posi-
bly, be done, the establishment of the Valley
Foundry and Steam Boiler Works as an entire
ly new enterprise.
The reasons for this report were that the
valuation rut upon the stock of the Staunton
Iron Works Company was considered too
high, and that in consolidating the primary
object of the new movement would be dis
carded altogether. The citizens who are inter-
esting themselves in this plan, are endeavoring
to establish works which will afford employ
ment to number of new mechanics, and there
by advance the interests OF the town, whereas
II consolidation was contaminated, there
would he no occasion to call in extra workmen.
The report OF the committee was adopted.
The stock now subscribed amounts to $40, 400.
and COL Hartman offered resolution, which
was adopted, that if the subscription could
be increased to $4,000, to organize joint
stock company with the following directors
A. H. II. Stuart, J. G. Marquis, D. A. Kay
ser, Fl. NJ. Bell, John Echols, NJ. II. Efinger,

thur, W. F. Summerson, J. W. Abby Isaac

ger.
Another meeting will be held at the Town
Hall, Oh Saturday evening next, at o'clock,
by which time, it is hoped, the necessary
amount will have been obtained, and steps will
be taken at once for the procurement of char
ter. Let all attend.

stead when juleps abound, and straws are
plentiful; when impecunious gentilty borrows
no over-coats, and lovers true murmur VOWS of
eternal constancy beneath the smile of APPROX

from the Symposium, retires TO the gutter and

Poor PUssEY.-An absent minded cat, fat,
plump, and healthy, while passing Augusta
street, near the Court House on Tuesday last,
had her meditative head run over by the wheel
OF wood wagon: and after various wriggles
and jerks, went to the land where the good
cats go. 1t was rather a remarkable incident
that so spry and wide-a- wake an animal as pus-
sy should be caught mapping in broad day light
and in the centre of the public street. She
must have been dreaming of the hard lot of
her distant relative, the dog, which has to be
killed, under Mr.. Koiner's law, or pay dollar
for the privilege of living.
