COLUMBIA, S. c., December l.
The proceedings In the House were very
effectually enlivened to-day BY contest over
the admission of the newly elected member
from Charleston and an unexpected amount Of
bile and no little profanity displayed. Previous
to this trouble, however, came little SET 70
between Jones, Of Georgetown, and the speak
er, when the former rose to know whether the
Senate had not violated the constitution by
adjourning for more than three days without
the concurrent action OF the House. He was
curtly- answered by the speaker that the
House had nothing to do with the action
of the Senate, and he subsided, snubbed
but not conquered, as was Afterwards shown
when the main battle Of the day commenced.
Then came the continuation OF the ballotlng
for members Of Bowleys pap committee. tbs

err Saturday, October 2Sth, was the
iiftieth anniversary Of his marriage, ard
a large circle Of neighSors and friends
assembled at his residence to do honor
to him and his good wife and the occa-
sion. After couple hours Of social
intercourse, the more formal exercises
Of the afternoon were commenced, by
an address to the aged couple, by G..
A. Davis, briefly recouuting the prom
inept events in their lives from The
time they mutually promised to cher
ish and love each other, the rearing
of four daughters, two of whom With
their children were present, the esteem
and respect in which they had been held
by their neighbors and acquaintance,
their consistent faith and walk in the
precepts of the Lord, and the bitter
sorrows tasted in the death Of those
near to them by the ties Of blood and
marriage. We have not space for full

children and one great-granG-child were
present. Mr.. Davis then presented to
Esquire Felch, a gold-headed cane
and to Mrs. Fetch, gold-pin and nice
cup, the gifts Of about forty of The
guests. Then followed gifts Of gold,
greenbacks, &C., and among other things
a pair Of gold lined goblets by Mr., &
Mrs. Joseph A. Davis Of Chester. The
aged couple then in presence of Rev. Z.

renewed their VOW of fifty years ago, and
the Rev. Mr., Small called upon God in
prayer to attest the sincerity of these
VOWS renewed, and to follow with his
blessings the aged couple as they travel
led along down the declivity Of life.
Rev. Mr.. Garter then, in few re-
marks, recounted the memories OF fifty
years, and hoped to meet them " beyond
the river" Esquire Felch rose, leaning
upon MS staff, and rendered to his friends
present, the thanks Of himself and wife,
for the great honor done them on this
occasion by their presence, their good
wishes and their costly and acceptable
gifts He would ever cherish the mem.
Dries of this day. For what little sue

INCIDENT OF AsCUTNEY MOUNTAIN
Mr.. Johns in his Autograph d Re-
marker of October 2Sth, has the follow
ing:
:" As Ascutney mountain in Wealth
ersfield is an eminence of some note near
the Connecticut river, would just men,
ton here that there is a piece of tradi-
tionary history of Revolutionary times
connected with that mountain, being an
incident never alluded to in the history
of this State that | have seen, but which
l have heard my father often speak of
in his lifetime. W hich is in substance
that at one stage of the war when the
wings were very jealous OF the tories
and all who were in any way lukewarm
iu politics, Solomon Johns, an uncle of
his, and one Buel, who had fallen under
suspicion of being tories, we're constrain-
ed to take refuge on Aseutney, where
they remained secluded sometime, but as
they could not subslst without food, and
a man having been seen carrying it to
them, suspicion was aroused, a party rails
ed who surrounded the hill, found and
took them prisoners, with whom an es-
cort of three or four soldiers started for
Bennington. On their way they came
to halt in some woods, where Johns
made feint of having occasion to step
out one side to ease himself, doing which
he got over some brush fence out ofsight
into a thicket, whence being slyly Joined
by Buel, they, ere the guard mistrusted
the ruse, put on for Canada, and as it
proved reached it unmolested, where he
remained the rest of his days. Solomon
was the only Johns here suspected of to-
ryism, and have heard father say that
if they had let him alone. he would not
have gone off as he did,

Town DAMAGES. The verdict of over
$1,000 against the town of Halifax, at
the late session of our county court, for
damages on account of the insufiiciency
OF the highway, recalls the fact that in
this immediate section of the State some
ten or fifteen thousand dollars have been
assessed upon several towns for the same
reason, of which amount, nearly five
thousand dollars of similar bills have
been against this town alone. All this
burden comes upon the taxpayers, and
the question is Shether the town of
ticers having the highways in charge, do
their duty, 1t would be very much
cheaper 10 pay these officers for faith
tul discharge of their duties, by tours of
inspection, than TO be assessed the bills
which almost invariably follow a suit for
damages Perfection in the absolute
protection of highways from accidents
cannot be expected, but the amount of
damages recently assessed upon several
towns certainly suggests whether some
reform cannot be inaugurated that will
save the tax payers from portion at
least of this large expense arising from
the neglect and insufiiciency of our high
ways
