We noticed . few days since, the robbery Of
Adams Express Company At vincennea, Indiana.
Officer Reany, the active detective belonging to
the Cincinnati police force, with another officer,
visited the sceiie Of the robbery, day or two
ago, and made an examination Of the safe. We
learn from the Cincinnati Commercial that they
found that panncl had been taken out Of the
back door, but close scrutiny made 1t apparent
that il had been taken ont BY person inside the
osiee. They werc also satisfied that The hinges

wrote to Mr. Lander, saying he did not zee any
ground for hostile meeting on 80 triflng 4
cause, and he deprecated dncling, but as there
was an evident purpose to pursue him to that ex.
trcmity he accepted, with the bowie knife for the
weapon; hence, while condemning the practice
oi dnelling he felt that there was no alternative
but to meet the necessity in the manner propos.
ed. Mr.. Lander stated this fact to Messrs. Keitt
and Chesman when the acceptance was deliver

"a The Editor Of the Chautauqua Democrat
WAS in Washington when Senator Wigfall, of
Texas, made his first great speech, and describes
the scene as follows:
Itwas quito evident that the Senator had been
imbibing too freely Of old rye. In plain English,
the Senator was drunk, which made him, as lie
expressed it, in happy humor for speaking.
He kept the Senate and galleries in roar Of
laughter for some three hours, till the inspira-
ton Of his potations subsidized, when the Senator
dried up. The chivalrous Southron felt it to be

A SHORT SERMON. clergyman writing about

at is seldom that asyOnng man goes to college
but with the deliberate purpose Of living vicious
ly; but he is weak. lie is taken into the COM
pany Of set ofMen senior to himself, with whom
il is qualification to him to associate; he finds
among them habits of thought and expression
and act, which in his soul he loathes; but he is
, weak; how can he resist the evil nay how can
he avoid taking part in it, unless he thinks to
make himself singular 30 the licentous thought,
| or the coarse word. or the oath, is welcomed
with smile; the advance is rapid to partaking
in what he first shrank from, and from partaking
in it to glorying in it and from thence becoming
| the tempter to others, as he had himself been
tempted, and fallen. Or again it may not be to
direct sin, but idlcness, into which man is
tempted by weakness. He may find that Others
are idle, and that there are the counter clans Of
amusenlents and societies which interfere with
the claims Of study; he does not deliberately de.
tsrminc to be idle, and to throw away that prec.

RUMoRED POISONING AT CoKEsBURY.-
Tho rumor of the poisoning affair at Cokes-
bury, which has been circulating through
the country for the last two weeks, appeared
to us so improbable that We did no;
wish to give it further publicity until
the actual facts in relation thereto were
known. These arc furnished by President
Johnson. of uls Masonic Female College at
Cokesbury. in the following communication
to the Editor Of the South Caroiinian
Mr.. EDIToR Allow me to contradict an
absurd report, which has found its way into
some Of our public prints, in reference to
the poisoning case which occurred lately
near this town. In tho BennettsvIIle Son
Of Temperance. it is stated, upon. "run,or," !"
that "forty Of the young ladies Of the Ma
sonic Female College here have been poison.
ed and have died." Not one of the young la
dies Of this College was present at the wed,
ding party where this poisoning occurred
The poisoning took place some seven miles
from this town. and was slight affair, moi
one Of the cases having resulted fatally
Onr College never Was in more healthy
and fiOnrlshing condition.
