extra fine claret. in pint bottles, which is

seurs. Call for bottle of it.
There is on exhibition at Messrs. Paw
singer & Franklin's Exchange House.
one of Plumer & Co.'s automatic gas
machines, which comes nearer perfection
IN the way of artificial light than any
thing we know of. The cost is mere

Justice Delays. OF Newberry, had been

GUS reports afoat, as there are great

clal notification OF the affair in few
days.

divided into small tracts, of which there
are 1,SO0. The much talked of Schley
purchases cost the State $l19,7G8. Tho
whole number OF acres purchased has
been 104. .07724; whole amount paid, or
contracted to be paid, $547, ,320 IS.
Kimpton has the bonds of the Land
Commission pledged as security for
money advances nude to the Commits
sion. What has been the amount of his
advances, the report shows not. The
