[This refers to a system of wood pipes and hydrants by which certain parties furnished citizens paying for it with water brought into portions of the city from "Leonard's Spring," about three miles from the city.]
A gas company, at the head of which was Mr. James Hoy, of Trenton, N. J., made a proposition in November to light the city with gas. Council appropriated $10,000 to the cap- ital stock of the company. The company was known as the "Columbus Gas Light Association." John Forsyth was chosen President, Henry T. Hall, Secretary, and Messrs. Dan-

INCIDENTS.
The Histrionics, a dramatic company composed of resident citizens, gave a number of very pleasant and creditable en- tertainments this spring. On the evening of the 2nd of April they performed a national drama written by the gift- ed Mrs. Caroline Lee Hentz, then of Columbus, which was pronounced a production of extraordinary merit, and receiv- ed with much applause. It was entitled "Lamorah, or the Western Wild."
The Baptist State Convention met in Columbus in April- Thomas Stocks, Esq., Moderator.
A "Citizen Merchant," writing in June, claimed that the Eagle Manufacturing Company were then making osnaburgs "superior to any in the world, being heavier and made out of better cotton"; also that the goods of this company were sold quite as low, and in some cases lower, than the same quali- ties of goods were sold in New York.
The house of J. J. McKendree, Esq., at the upper end of Oglethorpe street, was consumed by fire on the morning of the 21st of June ; also a kitchen on the adjoining lot, of Mr. J. B. Wright.
The Times reported the discovery of a valuable mineral spring immediately on the river and under the bank, on the east side, four miles above the city. The water was repre- sented as unusually clear and cool, and containing both iron and sulphur. As the Times said that the railroad about to be constructed to West Point would pass within twenty steps of the spring, perhaps our citizens of the present day will have no difficulty in finding it.
Another very creditable Agricultural and Horticultural Fair was held during the first week in October. Council ap- propriated $150 to aid it.
A two-story brick building owned by Messrs. Mott and Cleghorn, and occupied by Mr. S. C. Pryor as the "Exchange"

A DISASTROUS FLOOD.
bar and billiard room, was burned on the 15th of November.
An extraordinary and disastrous flood in the river occur- red on the 25th of November. During hard rains the river rose thirty feet, and "a section of the east wall of the reser- voir extending from the Eagle Factory to the Palace Mills and Variety Works, gave way under the pressure of water, and carried with it the flume of the Palace Mills and the bridge which connected the Variety Works with the shore." Fifteen men and a boy were in the Works at the time, and these were cut off from the main land by a current which no boat could cross. The river was still rising at the rate of three feet an hour. After a number of unsuccessful efforts, communication was established by means of a light cord and weight at first, and then by ropes passed, connecting the second story of the Variety Works with a pile of rock on shore. A basket was made to slide upon the ropes, drawn by cords, and in this frail conveyance the people in the Va- riety Works were taken from their perilous position to the land. Mayor J. L. Morton fell from a rock into the river, swam thence to another rock, where he had to remain until communication was in like manner established with him and he was rescued. The damage done to all the factory busi- ness was very great. The machinery in the Variety Works, the Palace Mills, and all the Factories except the Coweta, which stood at the dam (now known as the old upper dam) was stopped. Four or five hundred operatives and their families were temporarily thrown out of employment.
The Female Orphan Asylum was destroyed by fire on the night of the 9th of December. But the citizens raised in a few hours a subscription of $1,700 to rebuild it.
The 4th of July was celebrated by the City Light Guards, the Ringgold Artillery, and the Fire Companies, by an ex- cursion on the railroad, some 22 miles from the city. The declaration was read by Private Salisbury, and the oration delivered by Thomas J. Nuckolls, Esq. The Columbus Guards went to Montgomery and had a fine time there.

. The first bale of new cotton was received on the 20th of August, from the plantation of Charles Fisher, Esq., of Mus- cogee county. It was sold at 10 cents.
The third annual Fair of the Georgia and Alabama Agri- cultural Society was held in Columbus on the 6th and 7th of October.
Five deaths occurred in the city during the first week in December, from cholera morbus caused by eating bad oys- ters. A report got out in the country that it was Asaitic cholera.

Wiley Williams was on the 8th of January elected an Al- derman of the 5th Ward.
An ordinance authorizing the issue of bonds to pay the city's subscription of $150,000 to the Girard Railroad, was finally passed on the 26th of January.
Judge Iverson having, in January, proposed to sell to the city the water-works then supplying water from the neigh- boring springs, a committee of Council made a report on the extent and condition of these works, from which we copy the following:
That the franchise or privilege granted by the Mayor and City Council of Columbus to the original proprietor, was for forty years, and made in 1844 it still has 32 years to run ; that the proprietors have a deed of the present spring or fountain head from Col. Seaborn Jones, which has 25 years to run ;
64
WATER WORKS-REPORT OF COMMITTEE.
that easment or parol licences have been obtained from the owners of the lands through which the pipes run ; that there is a written license from Col. John Woolfolk, which is on record; that the distance from the spring, which is commonly known as Leonard's Spring, to Broad street in the city is about three miles ; that there is a chain of pine logs of 34 inches calibre from the spring to Broad street, and lateral pipes' of smaller dimensions in several other streets, making in all probably four miles. The first two miles, beginning at Leonard's Spring, is considered by your committee in good order ; the balance of the pipes are in bad order and require repairing, but to what extent your committee has been unable to ascertain; that the water flows freely through the first two miles, but is obstructed in the latter, and that therefore the supply reaching the city is limited and greatly less than the spring could afford. The spring (according to measurement by B. V. Iverson) discharges at the rate of 150 gallons per minute, making over 200,000 gallons per day-a supply which, if conducted to the city, would be sufficient for a population ten times larger than the present. At the present there is not probably one-fourth of the supply discharged into the pipes at the spring, from the imperfect condition of the works; at, however, the outlay of $100, the whole of the water could be discharged into the pipes at the fountain head ; that more than three-quarters of the water that enters the pipes is lost on its way to the city ; that the number of hydrants hereto- fore supplied has varied from 40 to 90 per annum, as the supply warranted ; at present the number in actual use is between 40 and 50. There is no doubt that if the supply of the water was constant and abundant, the num- ber of hydrants would in a short time, probably within two years, reach 300 hydrants, at an average of $10 each, which would bring a revenue of $3,000 per annum. There is no doubt that Leonard's Spring, the present fountain head, is not only the best, but the only source in the vicinity of the city from which a supply of good spring water can be obtained.
The Committee proposed the construction of a reservoir about one mile from the city, at some point below Woolfolk's spring, into which the existing wooden pipes would conduct the water from the spring, and a chain of iron pipes from this reservoir into the city-say of 6 inch caliber. They estimated the cost as follows: Purchase from the proprietors, $3,000 ; reservoirs and conductors at Leonard's, $100; res- ervoir below Woolfolk's Spring, $75; cost of one mile of iron pipes from last reservoir, $6,000-making in all $9,175. They estimated that a sufficient quantity of water could be brought into the city and 300 hydrants be erected at an expense which would not exceed $10,000. They recom- mended the acceptance of Judge Iverson's proposition.

SECOND SUBSCRIPTION TO MOBILE & GIRARD R. R.
On motion of Alderman Williams, Council authorized the Mayor to employ a competent engineer to make a survey of the route and report. It also instructed a committee to as- certain at what price the fee simple title to the springs could be obtained. We do not find any report on these questions by the engineer, but a few weeks afterwards Judge Iverson asked for an extension of the privilege for supplying the city with water, and the City Attorney was instructed to draw up
a contract to that. effect. The committee reported that the fee simple title to the springs could be bought from Colonel Jones for $2,000. The report was laid on the table.
Charles T. Pollard, President of the Montgomery and West Point Railroad Company, in August, asked a modification of the restrictions imposed by the city in subscribing to the stock of the Opelika Branch. He asked the right of way across the river and over the North Commons to a designated depot lot. A committee of Council reported against any con- nection of the road with the Muscogee depot, and against granting a lot for a depot at the place asked, but proposed granting a lot on the North Common north of Oglethorpe and Jackson streets. The committee reported a contract to this effect on the 26th of August, which Council adopted. The Railroad company was to pay for the lot or right of way by a certificate for 120 shares of stock in the road. Council subsequently reconsidered this action.
A question of much interest and controversy during the fall and winter of this year was a second subscription of $150,000 to the stock of the Girard Railroad (now called the Mobile & Girard Road.) The question had been submitted to a vote of the people, and decided in favor of the subscription ; but its opponents in Council contended that the vote was so small that it could not be regarded as a certain expression of, the popular will. They proposed to submit it again to the people at the regular city election in January. The support- ers of the subscription insisted that the funds were needed at once to procure iron for about 22 miles of the road bed then

about ready, commencing at Girard. A condition of the subscription was that it should be expended on that part of the road between Girard and Union Springs. The ordinance authorizing the subscription was finally adopted in Novem- ber. The Mayor entered a protest, and many motions to de- lay or impose conditions were made in Council.
INCIDENTS.
The city assessors reported their valuation of the taxable property in the city $1,597,925.
The cars on the Muscogee Railroad were running this spring to Butler, and the Southwestern Railroad was com- pleted from Macon to Reynolds within ten miles of Butler. This gap was filled up in May, and a continuous railroad communication opened to Savannah.
A great railroad jubilee, to celebrate the completion of the railroad line to Macon, was held in the city on the 20th of of May. Among other interesting incidents, the Mayor pro- duced some water from the Atlantic ocean and mingled it with the water of the Chattahoochee, in typical union.
A fire on the night of the 19th of February consumed the old Theatre building on Crawford street, the livery stable of Dudley & Martin, and the residence of Mrs. A. J. Hall. Messrs. Dudley and Martin lost most of their carriages, bug- gies, &c .; Mrs. Hall, all of her provisions and kitchen furni- ture ; and other persons lost goods in the houses. The fire originated in the Theatre building, and was believed to have been the work of an incendiary.
The steamboat Retrieve struck a rock in the river, a short distance above the junction of the Flint and Chattahoochee, and sunk on the 18th of February. She was going down, and had 1,000 or 1,200 bales of cotton, much of which was lost, A negro man of Columbus was drowned.
A very severe storm swept over the city on the 8th of March, unroofing and otherwise damaging houses, prostrating chimneys, fences, &c. The damage done in the city was es- timated at $50,000 or $100,000. No lives were lost. The

new Methodist Church in Girard and the bridge across the creek were blown down, and the storm swept a considerable portion of the country with like effects.
William, eldest son of Judge Robt. B. Alexander, deceased, lost his life on the 5th of March, by an accidental punch or stroke with a small piece of wire in the hands of another boy with whom he was playing. The wire entered his fore- head just above one eye, and penetrated to his brain.
There were very heavy rains about the middle of March, and the river rose to a great height. The train of cars on the Muscogee Railroad fell from a trestle which gave way, some eight or nine miles from the city, on the 18th, and Mr. Charles D. Schoomaker, the engineer, and a fireman named Gilmore were instantly killed. No passengers were hurt.
Charnot Newberry was killed by Lewis Jernigan, in a diffi- culty between them at the corner of Oglethorpe and Frank- lin streets, on the 27th of March. Pistols were used.
Joseph Updegraff was on the 17th of April, run through the body with a sword cane, by Britton McCullers, and died a few days afterwards.
On the 27th of May, the kitchen of F. G. Wilkins' on Oglethorpe street, and the same night the dwelling of Mrs. Williams on Forsyth street, were burned.
A woman named Fish fell or threw herself into the river on the 24th of May, and was drowned.
Council in September subscribed $10,000 to the stock of the Gas Company, payable in bonds. The bonds were made payable in 25 years, bearing 7 per cent. interest.
The receipts of cotton up to the 16th of May amounted to 55,893 bales. Prices-7% to 91c. in January, 7% to 91 in March, 92 to 10g in April, 82 to 10 in May, 9 to 9} in Octo- ber, 8 to 9 in December.
The factories, that had been compelled to suspend after the breaking of the dam in the spring, resumed work in June ; also the Palace Mills.
