A Minnesota school-boy. who was sent
to the principal with note that 'the
bearer deserves a severe punishment"
guessed its contents and gave it to an
other little boy whom he met in the
entry. The little boy Was foolish, of
course, but the master made him smart
enough to avoid euch mishaps in future.
Josh Billings says: "Most men con-
cede that it looks foolish to see boy
dragging a heavy sled up hill for the
'Aeetin' pleasure Of riding down again.
But it appears to me that boy is sage
by the side Of that young man who
works hard oil the week, and drinks up
his wages on Saturday night"

We SEQ that j. L. Beckman, who is
supposed to represent this County in the
Senate of the State, has introduced q
bill in that body to repeal the char

have seen Mr.. Beckman's name in the
proceedings of the Senate since he has
had seat there, and we are sorry to SEQ
him make such bad start. II he wants
road from Sumter direct to George

movement means, nobody here knows
and MIR. Bcckman must be representing
other interests rather than those of his
constituents in this move, for our people
are opposed to having the charter re-
scindcd.

SIMPLE CURE FOR BURNS. varnisher
OF medals, in Paris, one day got his
hand badly burned. and in his agony
thrust it into pot of varnish at his side.
To his astonishment, the pain at once
ceased, and the wound rapidly healed.
This cure being reported around, per-
sons in the neighborhood who bad got
burned came to the varnisher, and were
cured in like manner.
The news circulated far and wide, and
finally reached the medical faculty, and
the varnisher was sent for to try his skill
in the hospital. He responded to the
call, and succeeded in curing all on
whom be operated. The philosophy of
the euro is. the varnish keeps the burn
from the air, and giveu nature a chance
to supply new skin under its protec.
ton.

4uo LTeSluout las lalu OotOr0 Tue De-
nate the following communication from
State Treasurer Parker. It was referred
to the Finance COMMITTEES:
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,
STATE TREASURY OFFICE,
COLUMBIA, s. c.. Feb. S, 1872.
10 The President and Members Of the Sc
nate.
GENTLEMEN: have the honor to in
form you that the appropriation made
during the present session of the Gene.
raj Assembly. for the payment of the per
diem and mileage of members, pay of
attaches and incidental expenses, for
the sessions of 1870-'71 and l87l-'72,
are exhausted.
AS far as I can learn, there are yet out
standing certificates to the amount Of
81 l0, 900. of the session Of 1S70-'7l, held
by the various banks and banking insti-
tutions Of this place, which have been
carried for year. The importance of
making on early appropriation for the
payment of the above can hardly be
estimated.
In addition to the amount above
stated, there are numbers of certificates
issued during the present session yet un-
paid, which, together with those drawn
to pny to the 10th instant, will, in my
opinion. require sum of at least $3.50.
900 to meet.
OF the sum due for taxes for the pre-
sent fiscal year, about one-half of the
amount has been collected, while the
time for payment, without penalty, ex-
pred on January Is.
[ would respectfully suggest that some
measures be adopted to provide rove
nue. sufficient to meet the above and
other demands on the Treasurer. Very
respectfully, yonr obedient servant,
NILES G. PARKER,
State Treasurer.

WEANGLE OVER a MURDEEER's BODY
When tho body of George Bolts, exc
cuted in Newark for killing "Pet" Hal
sted, reached White Hail. New Jersey.
the friends found many churchmen aud
their clergymen in front of the church.
They denied the murdercrs body ad-
grave that had been prepared. After
much wrangline. compromise was
effected, the body being Inferred with
the understanding that it should soon
be taken elsewhere. Bolts friends will
insist on keeping tho corpse where it is,
and the church folks threatened to ex-
hume it.
A savage dog at Trenton, New Jersey.
has severely bitten seven or eight por-
sons, and the owner, though often re-
quested to keep him securely fastened
up, refuses to do so. And now they
have instituted suit in court to SEQ whe.
ther it is lawful to allow such an animal
to run at largo. The Athens (Tenn. J
Post says they have better plan of dis
posing of such cases in that State. If
any one insists on keeping rabid or
dangerous animal, to the annoyance and
injury Of his neighbors, they shoot him
ut short rangc-und then, if tho owner
makes muss about it, they very
promptly shoot him, too, thus getting
rid of both the brutes.

It's scarcely fair to take the changes
dav NAV bring forth as an index OF the mar
ket. or to assume, with these as basis,
what it will be. With such a plan, then, 1t
is almost impossible to give fair report OF
prices in stocks, those depending on the ac-
ton of the Assembly having already eyinced
symptoms which show how sensitive they
are to any changes. The great popular eZ-
citcmcnt of the hour, in this manner, is the
only topic on the street. 1t is better. under
the present circumstances, to await final
decision in political matters before announc-
ing the daily changes of stocks, which have
been known to fall and rise twenty five per
cent in an hour, remain stationary for an
other hour, 90 down again before the close
of the banks and begin the next morning at

good many bargains which the sellers,
