The election in Georgia Wcdnesday rc6ulted in tho choice of Colquitt, the inde pendent candidato, for governor. One steainer of the White Star line, took 7,000 barrels of apples from New York to Liverpool, recently. The largest cargo o the kind every shipped at one time. at Farwell hall, Chicago, on the 14th inst., to take into consideration the question o! railroad transportaron, and the equality oi taxation. The meeting includes all shades of political opiniĆ³n, and has no significante in that respect. A colony has been founded in Tennessee, 220 miles south of Cincinnati, on the line ol the Cincinnati Southern II. 11., Tho-. Hughes, the author of "School days at Rugby " and other noted volumes, being the prime mover. It will start out substantially on the the co-operative plan, and be known as Rugby. Great care has been made in selecting the Iocation, and all the world is welcome to join it if they wish, though it is in tended to draw from England more particularly. Every Saturday is the namo of a "society" journal publishcd in Detroit. In its columns will be found strange interniingling of "society" names. An announceinent of a short vist of Miss Sixbutton Kid, will be found sandwiched in between an item announcing that " Bridget O'Flanigan took a trip to see her oousin, the accomplished Misg Margaret O'Flaherty, in Walkerville," and another statiri),' that the intellectual JVlrs. Isluostocking, of Milton Place, has just returned froia Chautauqua.

The editor of this highly edifjing and classical paper, sets himsclf up as public censor, and proceeds to deal out criticis.ms upon members of the republican party - though his paper doesn't pretend to be a political one - whoui he does not fancy. His latcst diatribe is against II. K. Frazer, of this city. Such ill-naturcd flinfis ncither build up their surly writers nor injurc those against whom they are dirccted. In view of the magnificent intellect and gigantic attainments of this writer, it seenis a pity that his grandeur should be wasted on the desert air. Detroit should do away with her electric light, gascompanies, etc, and place this individual astride the city hall tower that the rays of genius shining from his eycs might illutninato tho surrounding country.
