Court, held at Charleston, on the 9th ult.,
ten years Imprisonment was given to A. II.
Riser, ex- postmaster of Newberry. We un-
derstand that he has been allowed the privi-
lcge Of selecting his abode, and that he will
in consequence remain in Jail in preference
to going TO the penitentiary, AMI that it is
probable he will be pardoncd at the expira-
ton of twelve months.

raj wonderfully fantastic tricks before high

HOMICIDE We regret TO learn that on
the Goth inst, a difficulty occurred at Frog
Level, between Me>srs. S. J. Hitler and T: F.
