The WANDERING JEW IN New
YoRK.-A sensation was created in
William street, on Tuesday morning
dy the appearance of a man on the
pave with a long floating beard, and
dressed in loose pantloons, with tur-
ban on his head. lie carried in his
little manuscript Hebrew book, ont
of which he road to the crowd that
gathered afuond him. He represen-
ted himself as the veritable Wander
ing Jew. Nobody knows who he is or
where he came from. A learned Jew
ish Rabbi was sent to converse with
him which they did in the Hebrew
language and the stranger was found
to be perfect in that most difficult ton
que. The Rabbi tested him in Arabic,
in Phenician, and in the Sanscript, but
soon found that the aged stranger far
him in intimacy with them
all. The Rabbi invited hun to his
house but said the stranger may, !
cannot stop. The Cruciliied One of
Calvary has pronounced the cdict, and
may not rest. | must move on ever
He was last seen on THURSDAY,
but to where he has departed no one
ran tell.

MARRIAGE NOTICES.

A week or two ago, the Columbia Times advised
the marrigeable community to send the fee Of one
dollar per wedding else publication thereof would
not be made At this our sensible neighbor Of
the STANDARD dcmurred end announced himself
happy to publish such innocent bits Of gossip
news gratis, and at all times grateful for the op-
portunity. Whereupon, the Darlington Flag and
Winnsboro' Register sustain the Tines platform /;
and thus nice little family quarrel is upon the
carpet. The whole marriage question with all its
niceties and intricacies might be involved the
duty of every citizen to encourage matrimony"
might be argued; and huge debate generally
might be hatched out of it. Make room for us !.
We are cap-a.pis on the Standards side Of the
question; and hereby give notice that We shall
be under great obligations to the preachers, cs-
ouires, and all others privy to such occasions, il
they will furnish US with early "hymenal' notices.
Just for the clever thing they have done, married
people ought to have their names in print; and
if our friends in the country will assist US, We
shall serve the good institution heartily.
II the debate is to 60 on, make room for us.

ELECTION IN CHESTER.

The election for Council was held in Chester
last week. and resulted in favor of the dry ticket
David Pinchback, Mtendant; and John j. Mcclure,
W. II. Gill, R. C. West, and saml McNinch, Var
dsas The natural good sense Of our neighbor,

has been sufficient to the end; and we rejoice
thereat. The Staaddrd says the Council arc in
corrigibly dry; hut we learn, elsewhere, that the
license will be fixed at four or five hundred dol
lars. But We hope not no price will amount to
aprolib;ton and the idea Of making revenue out
of the sorrow5 of the widow, the tears Of the or

to be rcpugnant. So We hope, it is, and will be,

For the Yorkville Enquirer.
TO THE PASTORS OF CHURCHES IN
YORK DISTRICT,

Rererend Srs We find in the Charleston Stand
qrd of the 10th inst, the following article -
s.SEuMoNs on DUELLrSG.-We learn that an n
greemcnt has been adopted by the pastors of all
denominations in this city. to preach on duelling
in their respective pupits, ON Sabbath morning
next, January l8."
This combined effort of the Ministers of the
Gospel to suppress duelling ensues mainly from
the fact that one citizen Of the city recently lost
his life by this sinful practice and from the ex-
citement consequent thereon. We cordially up
prove of the procedure of the Charleston pastors.
But we respectfully ask you-the diYinely COM
missioned watchman, "to blow the trumpet, and
warn the people, to warn the wicked of his way to
turn from is"-How many men, directly or indi-
rectly, have fallen in York District, during the
past year, by intoxicating drink, in comparison
with those, who fell in Charleston by duellng
We anticipate your answer:-the evils bear nc
comparison.
Believing that you are as sensitive to duty, and
as ready to perform it, as the pastors of the
Charleston churches, we take the liberty, without
any design to encroach on ministerial prerogative,
to request, that each of you preach sermon to
bis congregation, on the second Sabbath in Febru-
ary next, from the following portions of Scripture.
considered in conncction:-
Wine is mocker, strong drink is raging: and
whorsoerer isdece;ved thereby is not wise. Prov.
%: |. ...
lie John shall be great in the sight Of the
Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink.
Luke /: ID.
Therefore thus saith the Lord Of hosts, the God
of Israel, Jonadab the son of Rechab shall not
want man to stand before me for ever. Jer. 35:

1t is good neither to eat flesh, nor drink wine,
nor aay Ming whereby thy brother stumbleth, or
is offended or is made weak. Rom IA: 81.
BE ye therefore sober-1 Peter 4: I.
Indulging the hope that you will regard our re-
quest reasonable, and that your efforts may have
a sanctifying influence on all who hear you, we
are very respectfully yours sc.

"w1I1sTLE BEFORE A RoBBER.n

""H1STLE BEBOHE a RUBBER"
An individual may with propriety perform this
labial operation only when he has not the whereof
to be robbed and in such case the operation is
undoubtedly deectable.
Taking the idea as good thing for text, the
Greenvile Patriot breaches wholesome homy;
and charges the application down to the account
of that large portion Of the bodypolitc, who hav-
ing no taxes to pay complain most bitterly against
the burdens Of taxation. tits singular fact that
legislators hear most reant about appropriations
from the very men whose annual tribute TO the
public treasury does not amount to sLilling -
Passing along, the Patriot files an objection to suca
cant especially against the Common School Sys-
tenn, because, as the State will pay half the e1-
penscs Of tuition and as the citizens Of tho up
country have less property and more children in
proportion than those of the lower districts, they
will actually get back in the way of tuition more
conclusion follows that if any citizen ought to OBJ
jcct to the Common School System, the wealthy
gentlemen of the Parishes have decidedly the best
reason. Verify, opposition to Common Schools in
the Districts must be regarded rs exceedingly dis.
interested, patriotic and magnanimous-an auom-
My in the history of humanity. The paper, from
which we have taken the thought, gives an illus
tration of this singular patriotism, thus:-
"Just on the eve of the last election, our friend,
Col. Wilson, met n voter going to the polls, who
said he could not vote for US on account of the in
crease Of the taxes by the last Legislature. The
Colonel enquired of him how much his taxes were,
and he had to confess that he had never paid q
cent of taxes in his life! Here was dsinterest-
cd patriot who, having no property Of his own
to watch over, took it upon himself to guard that
Of his ncighbors?"

Hugh Miller, the eminent writer on
geology, was found dead in his bed on the
floor Of his bedroom, at his residence in Ed
inburgh, shot through the heart. For some
time past he had been in the habit of hav-
ing q loaded revolver in his room, an attempt
having been made lately to break into his
museum. 1t is believed that the circum-
stance of his death was accidental, his gen.
eral character and position precuding the
idea of suicide. The deceased was nearly
So years of age. He was born at Cromarty,
in Scotland, of humble pareutage and for
fifteen years worked in quarry, as a common
laborer, employing his leisure moments in ac-
quiring all the information from books or OBJ
servations which was possible under the cir
cumstances. The nature Of his occupation,
probably, induced taste for geological re-
searches, to which of late years he has al
most exclusively devoted himself; but his
