''TY Paraners' az abe Savannah
Theatre.

Mr.. BARLEY Campbell has written several
excellent plays, none better, however, than
that which will be produced at the Savannah
Theatre on Friday evening next, ami which
last season attracted large, fashionable and
intellectual audiences in this city under the
above name. In the creation Of this plot
and the development of the storY-keeping,
as ne does, the tide of interest always at the
AOOd-in happily commingllng rough humor
and hOmely psthOs, the author appears to
have succeeded in giving us purely Ameri-
can drama, based on incidents that are pos
sible, and represented by characters that are
not extravagant. The events that furnish
the motive and the incidents introdu ced to
aid the plot belong to what is known as
''bOrder Hfe," but in the presentation of
these there is q delicacY Of treatment in the
dialogue and color given to the language
that elevates the play far above the level OF
the sO-called "border drama" There are
no revolver discussions and lYnchings, no
eruption OF red shirts and slang phrases,
but In their place the home utterances OF
men and women who might have lived and
had their being anywhere else than in Cali
fornia.

Weirhtn and NIeanures.

The question Of having accurate weights
and measures has been agitsted by our mer
chants for some time, and the matter took
a definite form yesterday, before the Board
Of County Commissioners, by letter being
received from the Cotton Exchange calling
attention to It, which will be found in the
proceedings OF the board. The old weights
at the court house have been In use for
thirty or forty years, and have not been
tested BY an authoritative standard within
the memory OF those who have charge OF
them, and whether they are correct or not
no one knows, though it is generally be-
neved that they are not, one gentleman,
who is an expert, stating that they are two
pounds in 600 snort IN weight.
A resolution was passed appointing two
members Of the Board Of County Commits
s.Oners TO address g communication TO bis
Exeelleney the Governor, asking him to
furnish this county with standard weights
as provided for By the Code.

In consequence of the very inclement
weather last night the festival in aid Of the
poor OF the city, which was to have been
ioaugurated at the Jasper Green's Armory,
was postponed until this evening. The ar
engagements for the festival are all com
pleted, and should the night prove pleasant,
the affair will undoubtedly be grand sue
cess. The object IS one which appeals d.
reetly to our people, and should attract a
large crowd of patrons to the festival
armed with the ''dolIsr of our dsddies, "
and they will be well repaid. Everything
tempting to the palate, pleasing to the eye,
or delightful to remember (the prattle OF
pretty girls, for instance), can be enjoyed
by the visitor, and such a combination
should certainly have more than an equtva-
lent for what you may expend. The price
Of tickets is only twenty-five cents. See
the special notice in another column.

THE CYCLONE.
Tremendous Rainfall aud . Lively
BIOVU-SeekIng safe Quarters-NO
Damage In the City.

Yesterday opened dark and gloomy, and
at an early hour rain commenced falling,
accompanied by stiff northeasterly wind,
which increased in violence during the day,
and by o'clock had reached a velocity Of
SO miles per hour, and was reported so
miles per hour at Tybee between 2 and 3
o'clock.
There was general apprehension that the
cyclone, which had developed near the
central in the east Gulf, west of Havana on
Monday, and central in Northern Florida,
moving enthusiastically on Tuesday, was
working up this way, and would strike
Savannah early in the afternoon. The
rainfall was very heavy, and the
streets were flooded, and the
disagreeableness of the situation was
increased by the gale. About 2 O'Clock the
storm was very severe, and the prospects OF
bad night induced many of the occupants
Of houses on Hutchinson and the adjoining
islands to come over to the city. One old
colored citizen, who had not forgotten his
experience of the storm in August
last year, said he "was nebber to be cut off
agin," and had early changed his base.
Along the wharVes attention was given by
the crews of the different vessels to seeing
Budb Luey were well s6CuIeu anu uOb ldDlc
to be driven from their moorings. The wind
was very strong on the river, and the report
of disaster to the shipping at Jackson
vile was calculated to excite apprehension.
Fortunately, however, there was no damage
done, and although the gale continued high
during the afternoon, and there were fire.
quent violent spurts about six o'clock, the
impression gradually gained that the course
Of the cyclone had changed, and that the
worst OF the blow was over. The rain
almost ceased towards dusk. and shortly
after seven O'Clock the wind shifted around
TO the north, and blew very lively, and the
thermometer fell rapidly. The sudden
change in the atmosphere was suggestive OF
Overcoats.
There was no damage in the city from
wind or rain, save that a number of trees in
different sections were denuded of small
limbs and twigs.
On the line Of the Savannah, Florida and
Western Railway, at the AS mile post, near
Callahan, there was wash Of about sixty
feet, but It will not cause any delay as The
damage could be repaired in two or three
hours. There was no other damage on the
line so far as heard from.
No damage had been reported on the Cen
trail or Charleston and Savannah Railway,
and It is not thought there has been any, the
trains leaving on The usual time
Between ten and eleven o'clock last night
the wind subsidized, the clouds had cleared
away, and the stars shOne out brightly,
and all appearances Of the storm had van

We find in the Tallahassee FLOridian the
following serious complaint, which should
have prompt consideration, as it is q refec-
tioa upon branch of Ssvsnnah's trade that
ought not to be disregarded:
'We hear complaints from some of oul
merchants of short weight In meat bought
st Savannah. We cite the case Of one mer-
chant in particular who received three
boxes, which we're marked and sold to him
as containing SIS pounds each. One box
was short IN weight TWENTY-FIVE, one eighty
one and the other eighty-nine pounds,
making a total loss of 1876 pounds in 1,755,
resulting in two outrages upon the merchant,
be having to pay for 1856 pounds OF meat
which he never received, and pay the freight
on it In the bargain.
"It may be observed as a significant fact
that in packing nearly 600 pounds Of meat
in boxes each box should be repre-
scented to contain the same number of
pounds. This shortage is an imposition
that should be promptly corrected, and the
power and influence to do so rests entirely
with the merchants. United and deter
mined action on their part will put an end
to this swindle, and insure fair dealing in
future"

State and Counts Taxes-Cau at the
CaptafE9a once and Settle.

We would call the attention Of our eiti-
z4us generally to the noace of the Tax Col
lector IN another column, in reference to
the taxes for 1852. These taxes, State and
county, on property, real and personal, and
also the poll tax, are due, and it is desired
that payment should be made as promptly
as possible. The poll tax is for education
al purposes, and It is essential that
It should be collected without
delay. Taxes have to be paid, and it is bet
ter to pay them promptly than to delay and
run the risk Of extra expense. The office is
open between the hours of nine o'clock q.
m. and two o'clock p. m, and the Tax Col
lector will be on hand with his assistant to
receive all callers. Read the notice, aud
then "step up to the Captains Office and
settleD for what you owe.

to sell you better goods for less money than
YOU can buy elsewhere. Famous" New

DROWNED OFF TXBEE.
y The Carpenter of she BrItIhh Steam
Nship AzaIss Falls Overheard and
Is LOST.

A sad case OF drowning occurred yester-
day as the steamship Azalea, hence for
Bremen, was leavingport. About 9 O'Clock a.
n, as the vessel was of st. Michsel's buoy
and the crew we're engaged in seating" the
port anchor, the carpenter Of the ship, who
was assisting in the work, lost his footing
and fell overheard. Life buOys and bench
were thrown TO him, and he was seen swim
ming towards the latter. The steamers
engines were reversed and boat sent to
the rescue, but the unfortunate Il-.. aad
disappeared by the time the boat reached
the spot where he was last seen. Captain
Adams proceeded on his voyage, sending
a dispatch up by the pilot informing his
family Of the sad calamity, the drowned
man being the Captains sOn-in-law. A
reward for the recovery Of his body is offered
by Messrs. A. Minis & Sons, by whom the
steamship was cleared.
