After day had elapsed, the so.called
husband disappeared. The pretend

and said that she presumed he had
been foully dealt with, as he had q
large sum of money in his possession.
The sequel proved, however, that be
had dealt foully with her, having
cheated her of her money as well as
her virtue. She was the wife of an
other, whom he had deceived from
home on the pretence of marry;no

She applied to the Detective Office

THR FUNERAL.-Our city presented
solemn appearance, yesterday.
Dull, leaden clouds obscured the
heavens, and about II o'clock. q
steady rain commenced to fall; but the
gloomy weather suited the feelings
of the great mass of the people, who
about 10 o'clock, began to gather in
the vicinity of the City Hall, prepar-
atory to forming procession to ac-
company to their last resting place
the remains of the two young men
Darlington and Squier-who lost
their lives at the fire on Monday
night last. There was an almost
entire cessation of business from IL
until l o'clock-many stores were
closed; machine shops were still;
wagons ceased running; and opera
tions were suspended at the Green
vile and Charleston depots-all feel
ing called upon to do honor to the
ill-fated boys. Flags were displayed
at half-mast from the two engine
houses and several other buildings;
the city and church bells were tolled.
At II O'Clock, the procession-con.
sisting of the members of the City
Council, o detachment of the police,
the members Of the Independent and
Palmetto Fire Companies, and seve-
raj hundred citizens-marched to the
residence of G. V. Darlington, Esq,
where the body of his son was
taken charge of. After which, they
passed down Richardson to Lady,
through that street to Sumter, thence
to the residence of Mr.. Squier, to
receive his sons remains. They tben
took up their line of march through
Washington and Marion streets, to
the Presbyterian Church. The
bodies were carried into the church,
and an able address was delivered by
the pastor. Rev. VIM. E. Boggs. On
the conclusion of the religious
services, the body of Frazee Squier
was inferred in the Presbyterian bu-
background. 0Tho procession then
reformed and proceeded to the Epis-
copal Church with the remains of
young Darlington. The impressive
burial service of that church was per-
formed by Rev. P. J. Shand, and
then all that was mortal of Danny
Darlington was consigned to the
tomb.

The Isrdelite, the organ of the Lib
eral Jews, published at Cincinatti, is
cautiously taking ground in favor of
changing the Jewish day of rest
from Saturday to Sunday. 1t gives
place to an argument in favor of the
change, furnished by writer who
has been selected as the spokesman
of q party respectable in number,
respectable in intellect, fully persuad-
ed of the correctness of their views,
and fully determined to discuss the
subject in all its bearings" He ar
gues that the old Hebrew word
"Shabbas, (" which lies at the bottom
of tlis controversy, means simply
rest. Cease from labor and devote
to the eeryice of God-this he claims
to be the. literal and spiritual mean
ing of theword Shabbas, or Sabbath.
He contends that at present the jew
ish Sabbath has become obsolete,
and, as CONSEQUENCE of their being
virtually without any Sabbath or day
of rest, they are becoming lax, and
fast tending to irreligion, apostacy,
and the destruction of the Jewish
faith. It seems that it is now pro-
posed to call grand jewish council
for the settlement of this Sabbath
question-either adopting Sunday
for all, or dividing those wishing Sun
day and those retaining Saturday as
the Sabbath. The movement, how
ever, whatever may be said in its be-
half, will hardly find favor with q
people who for so many centuries
have jealously cherished every pro-
minent feature of their ancient faith.
