For tho Advertiser.

I see it stated in biographical sketch of the
late Right Rev STEPHEN ELLIOTT, that hewas q
graduate of Harvard University, Mass. This is a
mistake. He was a year at that institution, and
then quit it to join the South Carolina College ut
Columbia, where he graduated in 1926, in tho
class with Uon. RANDALL lIUSr and the late Judge
WE1uEns Mr. lIUST with tho first foaor aud
Judge WErnns the second honor, and Bishop Ell
LOTT the third DANIEL L. HuGHn, JOHN RAN
SAT- and STEPHEN ELLIOTT quit Harvard together,
and joined the Sou,h Carolina College.
Bishop ELLIorr's pioty was SO pure that it
seemed to mingle itself with Try emotion of his
life. lie W. it'll oiar, an accomplished
orator, aud delightful companion. In works of
extensive goodness, aud constant usefulness, he
had no superior. Patriot, orator, and Christian,
lie sank to his rest on the bosom of his Saviour,
beloved by many friend who will weep over bis
memory, and by The country who feel that he was
n typo of purcr and better days.
lie will rise amongst us, in future times, as a
polished shaft of Parcan marble, without single
flaw or bleinish to mar ii. beautiful surface.

OBITUARY.

DEPARTED this liro, on tho 2d December 1866,
at his own residence, in this District, L. B. CRO0-
KER, in the 10th year of his age.
He was tho son Of Major TURNER CRooKEE.
His father, serving as Captain in tho u. S. A..
distinguished himself so highly during the war of
1872, ut the battle Of Lundy's Lane, in which hc
received IN incurablo wound, as to bo brtrctlcd
Major.
His children inherited tie instincts of their
father. TURNER CRooKER, Jr.. named for the
Sire, was IL volunteer in the Palmetto Regiment,
during tho Mexican war, and was killed while
gnllantly stgrmng the City of Mexico.
On the breaking out Of the latc war between
North and South TWO rorc sons IIAEvr CEooKGR,
and tho subject of this brief tribute. tonk up
arms in defence Of their homcs,-tho first in the
Company OF the late Gen. PEneIS and tac last in
the Company raised by Capt. JosErH ABHEY.
When the latter wns promoted TO the Colonccy
Of the 22l Regiment, he appointed T. B. CRooKEn
his Adjutant, who served in that capacity until
the re. organization Of the Regiment when he
followed the fortunes of his old commander and
joined the lst battalion, S. C. Sharp Shooters,
then being organized by him, rs II private In

WHAT TuADEUs STEVENS IS DoING.-The
Washington correspondent of a rebel paper
says:
Mr.. Stevens is preparing some important
measures, which will be introduced immedl.
ately on the assembling of Congress. They
look to radical changes both in Executive and
Judicial quarters. The recent decision ofthe
Supreme Court in regard to military trials, to-
gcther with the report of other important de-
cisions declare severallaws now on the statute
book Unconstitutional, have produced feeling
of alarm. Several able jurists in both Houses
are seriously considering the proprie;y of
Congress taking immediate action to avert
serious dangers. The President is said to
have conferred with several of the Supreme
Cour. in regard 10 the positions assumed by
Congress toward the Southern States. When
he announced to the commission from South
Carolina, Mr.. Wcatherly, tina, the Supreme
Court would declare the amendment uncon-
stitutional, he is thought to have spoken by
the card

Miss Buie's Institution.

We publish with pleasure (says the Colum-
bia Phoenir,) the subjoined card from Miss
Buc, and trust that her enterprise will be
successful. We learn from private commu
nication that some of the prominent citizens
OF New York have expressed great kindness
towards the enterprise, and some have already
shown great liberality. Mcssrs g. B. Rich
ardson & Co., prominent publishing house
in New York city, have proffered to give all
the books that may be needed and others in
that city are taking o deep interest in the
movement.
Miss Buie learns that Gen. Grant had ex
pressed himself as highly gratified to learn
that efforts were being made to educate the
Southern soldiers children, and that lie said
Gen. Hampton's example was doing much in
building up the South and that, if he had to
unite two sections by one man to do it, DC
wauld select Gen. Hampton. This is a just
tribute to honor and bravery from a brave
man.
We would request our exchanges generally
to copy the suhjo;ncd card. The purpose 's

Frishtful Accident and Melancholy
Death.

We have been permitted to make the iol
owiag extract from private letter, giving
IN account of the accidental death by fire OF
Miss Pauline lAshmoce, young lady OF
twenty years of age, daughter of Hon. John
D. Ashmore, formerly member OF Congress
from this State:
Hon. John D. Ashmcre's wife and children
started to visit their relations in this Sum-
ter) District. he told them that when they
left Camden, they must reach the widow Of
Mr.. John N. Mcleod. Night overlook them
before they got TO Mrs. McLeod's, and meet
ing two young men in the road, asked how
far the next house was when they answered,
:: long way off" With this answer, Mrs
Ashmorc concluded to camp cut. They had
rot fixed for the night, and Miss Pauline,
about twenty years old, had fallen asleep
near the fire that had been made; at this
time some negroes came along and asked the
negroes what they had to sell, when Mrs.
Ashmore said they were travellers. SAID one
of them, why don't yon go to the next house,
Mrs. Mcleod lives within mile and halt.
With this they were preparing to leave. when
the negro man, who was currying the horses,
discovered Miss Pauline's dress on fire as she
slept. In attempting to out the fire, she
awolle and tried to get away. he held on to
her, and done his best to put it out. She was
thrown upon the ground and every effort made
10 nut out the fire, but all in vain. She finally
got away and ran antil her clothing was en-,
tirely consumed.
Her body was burned awfully. A bed was
gotten from Mrs McIIeod's, for they were
but short distance from her house, and
there she was carried. DR.. Reynolds, of
Statesburg, and Du Bose, Of Mechanicsville,
were sent for, but nothing could be done for
her, except that chloroform was given, which
put her to sleep, and thus she passed away.
She was highly educated and much beloved
by all.-Charleston Mercury, Jan. lst.
