ing, at IL O'Clock, and partake of un-
e1ceptionable oyster soup and baked
fish-two superb bass having been re-
ceived:. Don't neglect to be on hahd,
as his cook is hard to beat.
Our streets IRE filled with white az
we'll as colored persons from the sur.
rounding country, who have come to
town to dispose of their crops and
lay in Christmas supplies. They all
appear in such excellent spirits, that
sight of their smiling counte-
nances tends to dissipate the blues.

The premises of Col. l.. D. Childs
were entered by thieves on Thurs
day night, and the carcase of a mon
ster hog, quantity of butter, lard
and other groceries, carried off. A
party, the same night, also made u
raid on his dwelling and made off
with large amount of clothing.
No clue to the robbers. The Colo
mel thinks he is particularly unfortu-
nate in the hog line, rs this is the
third time he has lost pork about
the Christmas holidays.
GEN. Ton. THUMB AND TROUPE.
This celebrated quartette of dwarfs
will make their first appearance in
Columbia this afternoon. The Ge-
neral paid this city several visits
during his young day s, but has not
been in this direction for nearly fif-
teen years; while the rest of the
party, we believe, have never exhi-
bited South. The troupe consists of
General Tom. Thumb and wife, Com.
Mutt and Miss Minnie Warren. To
form proper idea of them. they
must be visited, as they certainly are
o worlds wonder. The exhibition is
said to be very amusing, and has
proved successful wherever the troupe
has appeared. Different characters
are personated. They will hold two
levees to-day, as will be seen by
reference to our advertising columns.
