DEATH OF MIR. JACOB HATTIE
An individual was Inferred, yesterday
afternoon, who, several years ago,
was we'll known as the rhyming
brldge-keeper-Jacob Raife. Mr..
Raife was simple. .inoffensive char
actcr, whose peculiar characteristics
were his attempts at making rhymes
and his great fondness for guns-a
stock of each being kept on hand at
oil times, ready for use. Many Jokes
were played on the old man, which
he usually enjoyed as we'll as those
who perpetrated them. His age was
about seventy.
Randolph, the colored Senator,
was buried in Columbia, Sunday
afternoon, and his funeral was largely
attended by his colored friends and
admirers. Tho African Methodist
Episcopal Church, corner of Taylor
and Sumter streets, where the funeral
services were performed, was densely
thronged. Eulogies were pronounced
over the dead man by three of his
colorcd friends, after which q process
sion was formed and marched to the
cemetery, where the body was in

notice on Sundny morning, that an
inquest was held over the body at
Hodges Depot, Tor Cokesbury, as it
is generally termed, although Cokes-
bury proper is nearly two miles off,
and verdict rendered that the de-

the hands of three persons unknown
to the jury. individuals who we're on
the ground at the time Of the occur

KEEP WARM AND SAVE Your Lire
At this season, many deaths take
place which might be prevented by
warmer clothing. Many a fatal case
of dysentery is caused by the want of
woolen under-shirt, or of On extra
blanket at night. The sudden
changes of temperature which occur
at this period of the year are very
trying to the constitution. People
with weak lungs quickly feel the
effect of them. frequently, the
thermometer falls many degrees
within q few hours. Not only the
feeble, but robust and strong persons,
suffer from such great variations of
temperature. When the weather
grows cold rapidly, the pores of the
skin are suddenly closed, and the
result, frequently, is bad cold,
which may hold on all winter and
terminate in consumption, or fatal
attack of dysentery, or that dreadful
disease the typhoid fever. If the
day seems ever so warm and bright,
it is much safer to wear plenty of
under-clothing at this season. In
the evenings, the dews fall, and it
grows chilly very suddenly. At all
times, even when it feels the warm
est, one experiences the difference,
which lis SO marked. between the
autumn atmosphere and that of the
summer. There is something more
than the mere difference in tempera-
ture; it may be in the electricity. An
occasional fire in a room dries the
walls and purifies the atmosphere.
A little timely attention to all these
things would prevent great deal of
the disease and suffering which are
among the ills to which humanity is
liable.
