of Bethesda neighborhood in this county, died

IMPRISONED At YORKv1LLE.
George G. Leech, of this county, who was
last week sentenced by the United States Cir
cult Court, to three months imprisonment for
violation of the reinforcement &C" is now in
the Jail at this place serving out the sentence
1t is understood that Moore and Wallace, SEN
fenced at the same time, will be sent to the
Albany penitentiary.
FROST.
A heavy frost fell in this latitude on Fri
day night last. Fortunately, with the excep-
tion of garden vegetation, the crops are not
so far advanced as to suffer material injury.
For several days preceding the frost, the
weather had been quite dry and unusually
windy. Several refreshing showers have fall
len this week, and with genial sunshine, corn
and cotton will make favorable start. From
what we can learn, there has been larger
area of land planted in cotton by the York
planters this season than last, and fertilizers
have been more freely used.
CAUsEY BLAIR IN TROUBLE.
Causey Blair, an enterprising darkey, who
halls originally from Yorkville, was arrested
in Columbia, the other day, charged with
stealing sundry articles from the residence Of
Ex-Governor Scott. Causey was sent to the
penitentiary from this county some two years
ago, having been convicted of burglary, and
was pardoned by Governor Scott last fall.
He does not seem to possess nice sense Of
the proprieties of life, however, if this may be
taken as his method of requiting executive
clemency. The ex. Governor himself, on learn.
ing that he had pardoned the thief out Of
the penitentiary, remarked that it was an un-
fortunate circumstance. Causey was commit
ted to jail, charged with burglary and grand
larceny.
PARDON OF DIR. F.. r. AVERY.
A recent telegram from Washington an
nounces that DR.. Edward r. Avery, of this
county, convicted in January, 1872, Of ku-
kluxing, has been pardoned. Pending his
trial, DR.. Avery forfeited his bond and fled.
The trial of the case, however, was concluded,
and verdict rendered of guilty. Although h
the amount of DR.. Avery's bail had been COL
lected and he was still at large, it seems that
recently application was made for his pardon,
which was granted, as we understand, upon
the affidavit of young man of this county,
who stated that he was one of the number on
the certain raid in which it was charged that
DR.. Avery was present, and to his knowledge
Avery was not in the company. Upon the
strength of this statement, as we are informed,
the authorities favorably considered the peti.
ton and granted the pardon.
