THE ORANGEBURG NEws.-We have received the
third number OF this very handsome and excellent
new paper. We are pleased to see that our young
friend, VIRGIL c. DIBBLE, Esq, Of this city, is the
Associate Editor. The Ne,os is edited with taste
and ability, but occasionally has slight inclina-
ton to mount the high horse. The leader in last
Saturdays paper betrays somewhat Of mercurial
tendency. Ne make allowance, however, for tho
natural exnberance Of youth.

MATED AT 5000, 0O0.-We find the following account
OF the late fire in Beaufort in the Savannah Ne,cs
of the 9th: -
RaAQgaagesa-C., March 2 1s67.-Edstors Neaos
and Herald: Our village was the scene of disas-
t1ous con,lagration on Tuesday morning last. At
2 o'clock fire was discovered in the hardware
store Of j. g. THOMPSON l. Co., which, together
with large stock, was burned to the ground in g.
+ few minutas The Neao So,a7t newspaper Office
adjoining was soon in flames and everything de,
\etroyed. HUBBARDs daguerrean gallery, the Lin
coin House, and newly finished dwelling, belong
ing to MIR. PA1L1TzzR, was also destroyed. The
members Of the fire company were having a ball
that night, which prevented them from going to
the scene as quickly as they might have done,
principally because their apparatus was in use tc
adorn the hall. ]. g. THOMPSON was insured to
the amount of $1,000; Mr.. PA11rTzER, $4,000. The
others were not covered by any insurance. The
total loss is not far from s2O,0 ,000 The fire is sup
posed to have been the work Of an incendiary.

ADAM DEFENDED.-You must
remember that Eve was a
young lady of great personal
attractions, belonging to the
first family. Not being given
to flirting, nor fashions, nor in
short, to any of the modern fe-
male follies, she had, doubtless,
bestowed much thought upon
the subject Of the forbidden
fruit. Having considered it
well, she came to the same
conclusion that she would not
give Adam for Paradise I'M
less she could know something
about how she was enjoying
herself. 4 The moment a wo-
man makes up her mind to do
a thing, that thing is half done.
Accordingly, Eve selected a
proper apple, and asked. Adam
to join her in eating it. She
was the wife of his bosom-the
joy of his heart-the apple of
his eye-his darling little hon
ey bug; pure as a flake of de-
scending snow, and as beauti-
full as an angels dream. How
could he refuse her anything 2
BE could't and he did't; and /,
for one, have never blamed
him since I fell in love with a
redheaded girl at school. No
doubt. it is quite disagreeable
to be damned; but if christian
ity had to be subjected to such
a test, you would never find a
sure-enough man in heaven

met secure reparatiQn for losses
of that nature. But "a perfect
police system would afford all
possible protection against their
occurrence, and inveterate
bores in human form would
not be permitted to run at large
any more than convicted pick
pockets and burglars madmen
and fe1ons. ! ~ ? N'sA =
The root of this evil may be
found in the indefinite ideas
which prevail as to the nature
and extent of a mans right to
time upon which neither bust
ness engagement nor public
duty assert any claim. No one
will deny that tits his private
property, just as the coat he
wears, the dinner he eats, the
bed he sleeps III, supposing him
to possess those things honest
~. Nevertheless, a vague no.
ton remains that the possessor
is under some sort of obliga-
ton to share this particular
property with all the world,
and that anybody may appro-
pirate a part, or the whole of
it, according to his or her sweet
will. How much barren ex-
change of Inequalities and of
ungenial and tedious visits,
how much vapid effort at en-
tertainment and diversion, how
much idiotic, profitless CONVEX
sation to which there is no re-
lief but an occasional bit of
heartless scandal, are men and
women, bound to the wheel of
social routine, compelled to
undergo by reason of this no.
ton that the time which, above
all things, one should econo-
mise with the strictest regard
to the conscious requirements
of his nature, is not his exclu-
sive property, but only held by
him in the character of trustee
for everybody including himself
;-if he can manage, in the gen.
eral scramble, to keep the least
fragment from the cluthes of
others. Nor is domestic life
always free from this sort of
rapacity and oppression.
1T nophilosophy of life would
be complete which should not
inculcate the inestimable value,
physical, moral and intellec-
tual, of what is commonly
known as leisure; neither
would any philosophy of life
be complete which should not
arm the student for warding
off those bores which may be
successfully combatted, and
for enduring with fortitude, as
a strong nature will endure
toothache, , headache, the fa-
tigues of labor, insectile pests,
and other ills which flesh is
heir to, such bores as are in the
order of things inevitable

NICE CLorHEs.-Attention is requested to
the new advertisement of Mr.. Zeis, who has
just opened a very attractive stock of fall
and winter goods, in his line. If you want
nice goods and the best fits, go to Zeis.
Mr.. Morgan, who does the cutting and su-
perintends the making up of clothes, has no
equal in this region. 1t is not necessary to
go to Chicago Or New York for nice fits or
good work. Morgan can do just as good
work and make as nice fits as any other
man. And Mr.. Zeis has just as good judg-
ment and taste in the selection of goods as
anybody--and his prices are really lower
than you can get the same quality of clothes
in Chicago or New York.
In the line of gents furnishing goods, he
has large and superior stock.
Give Zeis call before you order your
fall and winter suits.
