SAD AcCIDENT.-Yes yesterday afternoon, at
about FIVE O'Clock. an accident of not a seri =
GUS but very unfortunate nature, occurred to
Miss Minnie Chopper, youngest daughter of
City Marshal croppsr, aged IL or Is years
It appears that in the course of the afternoon
Minnie had gone up to the residence of Eli
jah Carter, Esq, of this city, for the purpose
OF visiting one of her little playmatss that
she two little girls were amusing themselves
by swinging, and that, while doing so, one of
the ropes attached to the swing broke, thus
prscipitating Minnie quite a considerable dis
tance and violently throwing her TO the
ground, causing the breaking of her right
leg, in two places, just above the ankle, and
slightly bruisng one of her hands in al.
tempting to stay the fall DR.. Truesdals was
Immediately called who set the limb and did
everything in his power to alleviate the pains
of the little sufferer
Mr.. Carter's little daughter escaped with
out injury with the exception of few slight
bruises. No blame can be attached to any
one on account of the accident, as the swing
was new one. having been put up only q
few weeks since, and was considered perfect
ly safe. The accident was caused, no doubt
from some defect in the rope. This, howev.
or, should be timely warning 70 those hay
ing swings at their residences for their child
ren,-they should be very careful and see
that the ropes aud everything connected
therewith are safe and of the best materials,
and thus, perhaps, avoid in future accidents
of a more serious nature than the one that
has just occurred.
PoLIcE.-Lass evening a stranger in the
city, hsiiiug from Iowa, by the name of Thos.
Jones, was found wandering about the street
10 search of one of his boos-heels which he
accidentally had the misfortune to loose, ow-
ing, perhaps, TO the bad condition OF some of
the sidewalks, and being rather more show
como you so" than was healthy for strang-
or in a strange land, concluded that ne must
look up the aforesaid boot-heei. that he had
left it some place, or it had left him, be did
not know which Some one advised him to
enquire al Johnson's ice cream saloon, which
was no sooner said than done, but all to no
avail. By this time it was getting rather
late in the evsning-time that people should
begin to think about finding resting place
for their weary limbs, boot heels OF no boot
heels, and most especially strangers. The
police advised the heelsess gentlemen that he
had better retire; that the night was growing
cold, and that his health might be sndanger-
ed by stopping out"-that the Island City
or Rock Island House were good enough
places for any one to stay as,-plenty of good
beds and plenty of provender to refresh the
inner man and prices reasonable, but the
gentleman, or rather the whisky, couldn't
see the point. 30 the police gently took him
in charge and walked him off to the lookup
This morning he was brought up and
charged So and costs for his bed and board.

Southern Tonic.

A fter several years of successful trial,
IA both in this city and the country, at
the request of number of persons who
have been benefited by its use, we have con-
cluded to present to the public
"SOUTHERN TONIC"
and trust that they may not regard it as a
quaek medicine.
Before venturing to give publicity to this
Tonic, the recipe was shown to several OF
the most eminent physicians of this city,
and was pronounced by them an excellent
Tonic.
The recipe will be shown to any respecta-
Bile physician who may desire to see it,
Unlike the many remedies that are offered
to the public, this Tonic does not cure every
disease All it claims is It's wonderful power
of restoring the functions to their natural
condition after having been embarrassed by
disease.
Were it necessary, certificate after eertif-
cate could be appended to this from vel
known citizens, but we deem it useless.

MEssRS. EDITORS: AS an erroneous i'm
preston prevails with reference to the
shipment Of cotton from the interior,
please call the attention of the public to
the true Facts: Cotton cannot be removed
from the Collection District in which it is,
until it is weighed, marked and the tax
paid. But, as the entire Grecnville Rail-
read. and, also, the South Carolina portion
of the Charlotte Road, is in THIS Collection
District, there is no restriction on its ship
ment to this point. 1t cannot, however,
be sent to Charleston, which is in another
Collection District, till after the tax is
paid. Deputies, however, have been ap-
pointed at Chester. Ncwbclry, Hamburg
and other points, to facilitate planters and
others who wish to ship.
The penalties are severe for removing
cotton out Of the Collection District before
the tax is paid, but there is no restriction
otherwise. Respectfully &c,
JAMES G.. GIBBES, Collector.
