Pay Small DebtS.-Small bills should be
promptly paid. The men to whom they
are due generally need the money. The
little bills are the ones that make number
less gaps in the world Of business. How
much comfort to families, cheer to despond-

orally, would be given by the immediate
discharge of all little, and perhaps half
forgotten obligations Pay small debts,

Threw up his Contract.-Last week Mr..
Ryan, contractor on the Columbia and
Port Deposit r. r., threw up his contract,
paid off and discharged his hands. Said
contract extended up the river shore from
Bald Friar to point 1000 feet north of
the State line, including what is known as
Wild Cat and FraZer's. 1t is reported
that the reason assigned for this movement
on part of Mr.. Ryan, is non fulfilment by
others higher in authority in reference to
financial matters.
Mahlonc, contractor of that part OF the
work near the village of Conowingo, is not
progressing very rapidly with his portion
of the grading. There are several reports
floating around to the effect that contracts
for grading that portion of the road extend
ing from the Maryland line northward,
have been taken, but they cannot be traced
to creditable source.
Thus far this important link in the great
line of railroads, drags its slow length
along.

Proceedings Of the County Commission

DESTROYED by fire on Monday morning last.
The notice for proposals will be found in

Fire.-The bridge over Big Elk Greek,
between Bridge street and the causeway,
was discovered to be on fire about five
o'clock on Tuesday morning last. The
flames spread very rapidly, and in few
minutes wrapt the whole structure.
One of Captain Realy's oyster boats was
lying near the bridge, which was injured
in its masts and rigging to the amount of
$50. Another pungy, belonging to Captain
Spicer, was also damaged to some extent
by the fire. The Captain was asleep in his
boat, and was in fair way to have been
roasted in few minutes, had prompt
assistance not been rendered, and the craft
got out of the way.
1t is supposed that a cigar or match had
been thrown in the bridge by some one
crossing, which set fire to straw that strewed
the floor of the bridge, dropped from wag
ons which haul straw in town almost daily.
We presume the next bridge that is built
here will be of iron, and it should be a
pivot or draw bridge to allow vessels to pass
to the upper end of town.
The old engine wasn't run out on this
occasion

The ShOw-Falling Of the Canras.-The
great O'Brien Menagerie exhibited here
on Wednesday last, as advertised. The
early part of the afternoon was very pleas
ant, and large numbers went "to see the
show which was worthy of patronage,
there being great variety "Of beasts and
birds and creeping things" There were
numerous side-shows, in which the more
curious might have their curiosity gratified.
About half past three, rain began to fall
copiously, making it difficult to get home
from the menagerie without complete
drenching and spoiled clothes.
About six o'clock it broke away in the
west, and high wind arose. The large
tent of the showmen was spread on the
depot lot, where the wind had fair sweep
at it, and at about seven o'clock, while the
employees were lighting up and arranging
for the evening entertainment, one Of the
centre poles gave way, rending the canvas
asunder, and causing it to fall with great
flop" The centre-pole struck one man,
injuring him slightly, and the tent buried
all in it within its folds, creating much con-
sternation among the men, but doing no
injury, other than that stated. The result
Of the accident was, that there was no
exhibition in the evening, and those who
held tickets still hold them-not having
the rcmotest idea when they will be at par.
Among the latter are the printers.

PAYING CoRoxEK's JuRoRs.-A bill he's been
introduced into the Legislature, which provides
for the payment of Coronor's jurors for services
rendered. 1t has met with early death, how.
ever, as will be seen on reference to the annexed
report, which was adopted by the Senate:
The Committee oil the Judiciary, to whom was
referred the bill to provide for paying Ccroner's
Jnrors, have considered the same, and recommend
that it do not pass.
This service has always been rendered gratui,
tously. 1t is duty that every good citizen owes
to society, aud, so far as we are informed, it has
ever been done cheerfully in this State to attend
ut the call of the Coroner, and inquire into the
causes of unnatural or violent deaths. We can
not think it necessary or Nse contrary TO the Gus
tom Of almost every State in the Union, 10 pay
jurors attending Coroner's inquest the sum pro
posed 1t will add largely to the contingent ex-
penses of the counties, and the people will really
gain nothing by the expenditure.

The RURAL CARoLINIAN FOR FEBRUARY.-In a
few short months the Rural Carolnian has, by its
attractive appearance and varied contents of nev-
er failing merit, become standard Agricultural
Magazine, and is this day as anxiously looked for
and attentively persued by its thousands Of read-
ers as if it had been published for century. Its
devotion to the practical and scientific develop.
ment of Sou:hern agriculture give it peculiar
character and value, not only to the people of the
South, whom it more Immediately affects, but also
to Northerners and Europeans, to whom the South
is n sort of China or Japan, but recently opened
to their investigation. The number now before us
is splendid illustration of what brains and en-
terprise can do when aided by the sympathy and
interest of our entire people. With sixty-eight
pages of reading matter -four more than the usual
number) it bus not an article in it that would
not please the most practical farmer and yet there
is much to entertain and instruct the general
reader. The illustrations are useful as well as or
namental, and the likeness Of DeLesseps is worthy
Of being preserved life-like representation of
great man, the moving spirit of e wonderful
achievement. The typographical execution is su-
perb, and the publication, as whole, is one of
which our regenerated South may well feel proud

TIE DEMocRATIc PARTy-Is II VIoroRy 0n
DEYEAr Tho Anderson iatetligsueer wants to
know if the Democrats Of this State intend to be
active and progressive, letting ''the dead past
bury tho dead" and looking forward with manly
resolution to the things before them. If they do
this and address themselves to living issues and
practical propositions, it intimates victory. II
not, defeat. We answer that, in our own opinion,
the htslligencsr need have fears on this score.
We believe that those composing the Democracy
of South Carolina, from one end Of the State to
the other, are thoroughly united and fully in ae-
cord with the hopes of the Intelhgmeer. We feel
satisfied, from the intimations that have reached
US, and from our own observation, that the Demo-
cratic party Of South Carolina intend to be pro-
grcssive parfy-a party of genuine reform-a
party of practical aims. 1t will, we assume, make
no unnecessary ssues-it will concede al the
political rights given to the freedmen by the law.
At the same time. in behalf Of the interests of all
classes of our mixed population, it will demand 6
reform of existing abuses. 1t will 60 for the in.

FRASER, TRENHOLM & Co.-The following dis,
patch from Washington is published in the North
erv papers:
Three years ago the Government made an agree
ment with Fraser. Trenholm s. Co. in settlemen.
for The effects they had on hand as agents of the
late Confederate States, and which we're claimed
by the United States as public property. This
agreement. if consummated by the agents, would
have placed in the Treasury half million dollars
in gold. An agent Of these parties is now in this
city to induce the Government to compromise the
matter by taking their promissory notes for $780,
900 in currency, and dsmissing all legal proceed
ings against them, both here and in England
Fraser, Trenholm Co. have, it is said, several
million dollars worth of landed estate in South
Carolina, all of which is under injunction by order
of the Court to satisfy the claim of the Govern
ment.
