Death nf Iamas Griffin.

IT becomes our melancholy duty to record the de-
mise of another old and valued citizen Of Edgefeld
District Mr.. JAMES GRIFFIN, Senior, departed this
life, at the residence of his son.in-law Mr. d. F. HoL
LvGswoRrI, in the vicinity of Edgsf.d village, on
the 81 instant.
The fat hers of the District all fast passing away
Another decade and perhaps every coemporary OF the
fine old gentleman, whose death now noticing,
will have been numbered among the millions under the
sod. He himself had lived to good old age, having
we'll nigh reached his three score years and ten. With
frame slight by nature and apparently (rai, he had,
by habits of prudence and moderation in all things, at
ained period of life far beyond the great majority of
men, But the slight cord of existence slight indeed
when we come ouk at the thousand trials TO which
it is constantly subjected must break at last for the
careful as well as the indiscreet. And our worthy
old lrlow-czen has but shared the common fate.
Consolatory indeed must it be to his relatives and
friends 10 call to mind the truth that he has sunk to his
grave in peace after long life Of probity and useful
ness.
In Mr.. GRIFFIN's death, we have lost q most eSem-
plary Citizen one who had the good Of his District
his State, his country warmly at heart. We huId up
his life, TO those who coming fill his place, as
pattern worthy of imitation.

FRANK May, the absconding cashier of the
Farmers and Mechanics Bank of Indianapolis,
writes from Crestne, Ohio, TO Col. May. his
uncle. and the owner of the bank, that he only
tnok $1,000 and regrets his course extremely
that he did not contemplate leaving two hours
before he departed, and has not The nerve to
return. AS there is no law in Indiana for such
cases. we suppose that Mr.. May will get off
scot free.
Col. May says, however, that the amount Ia
ken certainly exceeds $1,000. and that the two-
hours part Of the story is false, as Frank gave
orders the night before to be reused earlier than
usual and, moreover, appears to have arranged
matters for this event some days beforehand.

Death Of Bishop capers.

THE papers aunounre the death Of this Christian
veteran, and most truly do they add that "great
and good man has fallen in Israel" No divine of any
denomination has ever commanded more universal
esteem in South Carolina. He was full Of the milk
Of human kindness, with an intellect of surprising
strength and an integrity that knew no warping.
GEoRE McDuFFlE once said of him, that he the
greatest pulpit orator of our country And all con-
ceded to him that purity and meekness which form
the Distinguishing feature Of true disciple of Christ.
His bright and intellectual eye spoke not more truly
Of The mind Within than did his mildlyexpressive face
reveal the true and trusting soul.
We first knew Bishop CAPERs in the South Caroli-
ma College, in 1885, He PROFESSOR pro TEN. just
previous The reorganization of the College, which
took place in 1886. There was but one feeling amung
the young in regard to him, feeling of love and
reverenal respect We believe that such has been
the experience Of every society or community into
which his lot has cast him. What more nuble evi.
dence of the "great and good man" can be afforded
than this widespread array of hearfe appreciation
There is one which il is not permitted to man to zee.
1t is the crown Of immortal glory to be placed upon
his brow by The Great High Priest who sitleth upon
the right hand Of God ON high

The SHOE BUs.sEss.-This important branch
OF the business of Massachusetts, the Boston
Traveller says, is slowly reviving, and signs of
animation are visible in various quarters. The
stock of manufactured shoes on hand is said to
be unusually small, and the reception of orders
10 any great extent would Immediately set 10
work large number of hands. One firm in
Beverly last week received orders from the
South for eleven thousand dollars worth OF
shues, and doubtless similar orders have been
received by other firms.
