AyERsE TO FREEDoM AND SrARvATIoN.-
The Newberry Rising Sun, Of the 25th in
slant, relates the following incident:
"0ne of the citizens of this District left q
few days ago with number of his negroes
for the purpose of. carrying them to free
State. With the exception of one that he
has left at home, because he was vicious
boy, and whom he was afraid to carry with
him, they were reluctant to g9, consequently
were carried OFT against their wishes. Sew
eral of his negroes, whom he wished to carry,
refused positively to march one step, saying
that they were satisfied with their condition
and preferred death rather than freedom,
starvation and misery in free soil State.
They have certainly shown good sense"

IMPROVED BUGGY. SEAT.-We have been
shown Buggy Seat, invented by &r. Clwles
of Edgefeld, 5. c., which is certainly great
improvement 1t ,orsists of an elastic spring
back, by which the effect of rough roads or a
sudden jolt is very much modified. It can
be applied TO carriages, and vehicles Of any
description, and must we think be 6 nerally
adopted. 1t is very cheap and simple in its
construction, and we commend it to carriage
makers as worthy OF their attention. 1t is
very common to hear PERSONS exclaim, when
riding ov.r rough road" oh my back t"
and the stiff .mmovable seats now in use
are very trying to the spinal column. The
Elastic Spring Back" will obyiate oil that,
and make buggy ride u luxury worth enjoy

Shocking Occurrencc...T Persons

We learn from gentleman who arrived
here yesterday morning from Newberry G.

hold of Mr.. Robert Stuart, consisting of four
white persons and six npgrues, were, shortly
after taking their supper, seized with violent
spasns of retching, vomiting and other indi-
ca,m,.s ui having been poisoned The news

REMAINING un t,re table were found to contain
ar.ehi,. Tue co.'A, mulatto girl, was called
in and On being questioned, confessed to ad-
u'inistering the deadly drug; and carried
witnesses to the place where she had buried
the remnant Of the poison. She at the same
time charged Mr.. Saunders, who we learn
is an apprentice at the Helena W"rk Shop,
with having furnished her with it. The dis.
inferred package WAS identified by the drug
sist as having been sold hy him to Mr. Saun-
ders. Mr.. S. informed the druggist that lie
intended to kill rats with it. He had been
twice to purchase it, the second time saying
that the first Was not strong enough. 1t ap-
pears that wl.en tue first vas administered,
only the Lousekeeper had been affected and
but slightly.
We are further informed that Mr.. and Mrs.
Stuart were lying very low, without airy
hopes Of the.r recovery. Mrs. Wilkes was
supposed to be dying. All the members Of
the family who were at supper were affected,
except Mrs. Kate Stuart, daughter-in-law.
One Of the negroes Was also thought to bc
dying. Much excitement prevails in the vii
lage. Mr.. Stuart iss very prominent citizen,
and one Of the oldest merchants in the up
per part of the State. No cause is given
further than that Mr. Stuart had threatened
to chastise the girl for her misconduct. Mr..
Saunders and the girl have both been arrss-
