heavy frost occurred on Monday last,

Sale-day in Darlington drew out a small at
tendance; but little property sold by the
sheriff, and that little bought in by parties
holding liens against it.

On The afternoon of the 9Th instant, the citi-
zens of Camden were startled by the alarm OF
fire. The flames were discovered in full head
Hay among some old, dry wooden buildings IN
rear of the principal business part OF the town.
The fire COMPANIES aud the citizens generally
turned out in full force, and put forth the most
strenuous and well directed efforts to arrest
the progress Of the destructive element, For
some time the issue OF the contest was doubt
full, the fire burning tercely, close in the rear
of several stores. But at the most critical
moment, the wind sprung from q favorable
quarter, blowing the flames from the buildings
most in danger, and enabled the fremen to get
them under their control. The fire is thought
to have originated in stable in the rear of
the building owned by MIR. William Johnson.
It is fortunate that the fire occurred when it
did, and.burnt up what has long been source
of apprehension to many. Ii it had broken
out at night, when the wind was high, the con-
sequences might have been ruinous. As it
was, no property Of any great value was de-
stroyed.
