tho injuries ho received. It wilt be remem
bered that about tho last of December, a

Juniata Sentinel.
Fur The liloomflcld Time.
Savannah, Ga., Feb. 1, 1870.
Mr. Editor I arrived hero safely, on tho
steamer " Dictator" an excellent steamer
and since my arrival I have been spend
ing my time in looking about tho city. Tho
lirst thing that attracted my attention was
the activity about tho harbor. It certainly
is a very different placo fro m Charleston.
Here all is bustle and hurry on the docks.
Everywhere I can seo moving masses of
living beings, and as far as my eyes can
reach, I can seo nothing but a forest of
masts with tho colors of their various na
tionalities fluttering in the breeze. On get
ting on shore immense quantities of cotton
bales piled up all along tho wharves met my
gaze,. Quito a number of vessels were
loading with the staple. It is difficult to
keep from being run over by a cotton dray
or truck whilst moving about the docks.
Among the curiosities hero is a machine
for reducing tho size of cotton bales by
means of bydiaulic pressure. It would bo
impossible for mo to explain tho manner of
doing this satisfactorily, suffice it to say
that the bales before they are brought here,
are packed and pressed so that it seems im
possible to diminish their size to any extent,
yet by means of this powerful machine, in
less time than it will take mo to relate, it
will reduce a well-pressed bale of cotton to
one-half its former dimensions. I was un
able to learn tho namo of the inventor of
this useful machine. On going beyond tho
wharves and walking along tho lirst street
running parallel with them, I saw nothing
remarkable, except its lilthiness, tho mean
ness and inferiority of the buildings along
it, and tho largo number of whiskey estab
lishments. It seemed as though every door
on tho street had over it " Licensed to sell
Liquor." I next wended my way into the
heart of the city. Pavements and sidewalks
of ovory description are scarce, and streets
muddy beyond excuse. Tho only thing that
makes them at all endurable, is the beauty
of tho shade trees along their entire length,
and the many parks which are really attrac
tive. Among other things I observed, that
goats were very numerous in all parts of
tho city, no matter where I went, I met
them on tho street sidewalks, on tho
steps of tho houses, some inside gazing out
innocently at the passer-by, and would ven
ture a wager that I could tell this city from
any other blindfolded by its goaty smell.
The people hero seem less sellish than those
of Charleston. The colored population pre
sent a better appearance healthier and
better clad, and there are but few idlers
about tho streets. There aro but few good
buildings in tho city, such as aro found
iu our principal northern cities. The Mar
shall House is ono of tho best, and would
pass for a rospectable second class hotel in
New York or Pliiladel phia. x x x.

Buhvkibk Visit. Mr. Editor: Allow tho
iiiulorMgnori to return their grateful ac
knowledgments, through your valuable iia
i;er, to tho members of tho Reformed con
gregation of Newport, who surprised them
by a visit to tho Parsonage on Thursday
evening, tho 3d iijst, with gifts which sup
plied tho wardrobo with useful articles
the pantry with Hour, apples, potatoes,
dried fruit etq., and the gnuiory with corn
and oats. Tho gifts thus deposited aro
worth at a reasonable valuation, between
forty and fifty dollars. After an entertain
ment of an hou r to which tho inmates of
tho Parsonage, notwithstanding their want
of practice, ondoavore d to contribute, tho
paity took leave, carry ing with them our
kind acknowledgments. Theso tokens of
regard furnish evidonco of an appreciation
of our labors in their midst. May the Lord
abundantly remunerate tho members of
this congregation for their liberality and
kindness to their pastor and family. . -

Death of Prof. Andrew B. Sinolniknr.
Emjotthtujro, Feb. 1st, 1870.
Mr. Editor : Dear Sir, I understand that
Prof. Andrew Beinardus Smahiikar has
departed thislifo, nt the ripe age of 75 years.
lie was an extraordinary man, and claimed
to be tho third angel spokon of in Rev.
14th chapter and Utli verse. Ho was at
Cincinnati, when he died.and had been writ
ing something for the Ecumenical Council,
wlirdi ho considered very important, and
wanted to get it published, but could get
no one to furnish the means. The general
epinicil is that he was deranged in his mind,
but I have studied his writings considera
bly, and I think he may be right enough,
and has perhaps received tho mission which
he claims, of uniting all nations into peaco
and haimony.
If I knew you would publish a moro
lengthy articlo on his work, I should be
glad to furnish it. J. R.
for the defense," I remarked.
To the Ladies. Tho subscribers having
received a lot of Dry Goods, which were
slightly wet during a recent lire in tho city,
are offering them at great bargains. The
stock consists of Dress Goods, Cambrics,
White Bed Spreads, &c, and though not
really damaged in tho least, are sold at
twenty live per cent, loss than tho regular
price.
Now is your time for bargains.
