Snow.

knows it, although question if many have as good
a right to such knowledge the readers humble
servant, who has been essentially showed under,
having left his window open last night and got bu
rieI under snow drift this morning The snow
will melt away and be forgotten by most folks in
day or two but it will be to tarry with US for
month in the shape of bad cold. One of the evils
of single blessedness.
In good sober earncstness and for the information
of our friends at distance, We would take the lib
erty stating that the present writing the snow
is coming down quite rapidly, and has been doing so
all morning. having started before day. The roofs,
trees and streets white, and were it not for the
warmth Of the ground which melts it nearly soon
as it falls we might have some sleighing.
By the way, our narration of the snow coming in at
the window, reminds of the circumstantial detail
given by an up-counry cotemporary of the progress
of streak of lightning whether creased or other

COLUMBIA. March Is.

COLUMBIA, March Is.
A few weeks since. a company consisting of nine
white and one negro. with horses for sale, and
three wagons loaded with tobacco lard, and butter,
passed through Columbia. going South. Nothing
heard Of them after they ef: Columbia until Saturday
night last, when suspicion having rpened into certain
~ that some OF them counteTelters, they were
pursued overtaken, ard arrested in Lexington District
1t seems that one of the party, who called himself
JONES' had gone TO Charleston some time last week,
where he passed some counterfeit money for which he
bought clothing, receiving good money IN exchange.
Some of them had also passed their counterfes on
Mr.. Wmbish, of Orangeburg, and both of these gen.
emen having obtained information as to their move
ments, went in pursuits and having asceralned that
the party in Lexington District, obtained war
rant from Dr.. Fitch, with which, accompanied by
of the MarshaIs and other citizens of Columbia,
they proceeded 10 Lexington District, land arrested
four Of the party Saturday night, and broug hi them
to Jail here on Sunday morning. The man calling
himself Jones, was fully identified by the gentleman
from Charleston at first sight, AMI did not deny having
passed the counterfeit money him. 1t seems that
they have been operating between this and Charleston
ever since they left Columbia.
They also succeeded in passing some of their sputl-
money in Columbia, amounting, perhaps, 10 $500.
The bills seen BY Dr. Fitch who issued the warrant
for their arrest of the denomination of Sl00, on
the Merchants and Mechanics Bank of Cheraw,'
one of them No. 447 Letter A. dated July 18,

Merchants Bank of Cheraw, S c., and the Bank is

ieve, cher than $40.
They also had counterfeit money on some Banks in
Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Louisiana, but
what Banks, and of what denomination, did moi
learn.
Three of the men arrested represent that they are
from Ashe county, n c. and gave their names as John
D Nelson, A. n. Dickson and George w. Ray. The
fourth Thomas Jefferson Rens, says he is from Car
rol county, Va Upon searching them, about 1900 OF
counterfeit aud $4,000 of genuine money was found on
them, which they had doubt obtained in tratcins
and exchanging. We are informed these hot the
names they assumed when they passed through Co
lumbia No doubt they have scattered their spurious
money wherever they have travelled, and that much
of ii is in circulation, as learn that several 800
bills the Bank of Cheraw have been lately present
ed at our banks, and pronounced counterfeit The
four men arrested examined before Justice Mil

their trial at the next term of our court Tie others

twas the very merry summer time
That garland hills and dells,
And the south wind rung fairy CLINE
Upon the foxglove bells;
The cuckoo stood on the lady-birch
To bid her last good bye
The lark sprung Ger the village church,
And whisted to the sky,
And we had come from the harvest sheaves.
4 blithe and tawny train,
And tracked our path with poppy leaves
Along the old green lane.
Twas pleasant way on a sunny day,
And we were happy set,
As we idly bent where the streamlet went
To get our fingers wet;
With the dog-rose here, and the orchis there,
And the woodbine twining through;
With the broad trees meeting everywhere,
And the grass still damp with dew.
All we all forgot in that blissful spot
The ma nes of care and pain,
As we lay on the bank by the shepherds cot,
To rest in the old green lane
Oh. days gone by! l can but sigh
As think of that rich hour,
When my heart in its glee but seemed to be
Anothef woodside flower;
For though the trees be still as fair,
And the wild bloom still as gay
Though the south wind sends as sweet an air,
And the heaven as bright day;
Yet the merry set are far and wide,
And never shall meet again
We shall never ramble side by side
Along that old green lane.

Mr.. nEeRas,s Speech at the Masonic Hall.

We notice that the Wing papers throughout the
State copying the article from the Wilmington
Herald of the 18th inst, giving an account of the
River and Bar Improvement Meeting, in which ac-
count D. K. McRae, Esq, is represented as having
occupied Wing ground, and, to certain extent, de-
serted his own party. Mr.. McRae is abundantly
able to defend himself and explain his own course:
and we therefore do not wish to interfere but we
think it due if not to the gentleman III question at
least to the cause of truth and fair play that the pa
pcrs which have copied the article from the Herald
should also copy the communication from Mr.. Nc
Rao which appeared in the Journal of last Friday.
