PARADE OF THE FluE CoMrANY.-
On Friday afternoon, the Winpsboro

paradcd in full dress uniform with
the new Engiue recently purchased
The iiremen assembled promptly ut
the engine house at 4 o'clock. Hoad-
cd by the band, they marched up
Market street, through Zion street,
as far as the College Green, then
down to Main street. as far as Mr..
MoCants' residence, then back to the
engine bonsc. 1t had been intended
to try the power Of The eaginc, but a
sufficient quantity of water had not
collected in the cistcrp, so that the
performance was postponed Ito
the disappointment Of the ludies)
until ''after the next rain" Some OF
the ladies expressed themselves as
worry much pleased with the appear
ancc of the "boys' in their handsome
uniforms, and with the beautiful en-.
ginc. When the question of the en-.
gIne was first agitatcd, some practical
individual proposed not to buy an
engine, but steam pump. But this
proposition was rejected. We don't
expect to have fires half as often as
we have parades, and who ever heard
OF fircmcn parading with a steam
pump7 a steam pump is fine thing
ut lire, but stupcudous humbug on
a parade: After the parade. a meet
ing of the company was held, and
arrangements we're made to fit up i'm
mediatcly the vacant room uu 3er the
town hall for All engine house.

DR.. AVERY Rh-AnrEsrrp.-Dr.
Avery was re.arrcstcd on Tuesday
night at Rock Hill, and on Wcdne DIV
carried to Charleston. It will be re.
membercd that he escaped when on
trial two years ago. Col. McMos.cr,
his Attorney, visited ashinpton to
seek a pardon, addaciug proof of his
innocence. The President refused
to grant pardon but gave stay of
sentence and ordered Corbin to let
him remain Mt home unmolestcd
Trusting to this he returned home.
But the Urea sury becoming low
and the loyal bids getting hungtp,
they organized i. raid on him. fGee
notorious John B. Hubbard, and a
troope of United States soldiers, and
half dozen sups, btavely marched
to his house in tho dead of night
surrounded it and then woke him.
pr. Avary showed his permit from
Grant, but it was Of no effect. SEQ
ing resistance and escape hopeless, he
surrendered. 1t may be that Grant
has revoked his permit, We expeot
no better faith from him than this;
We anxiously await the result.

last week co1ored woman on Mr..
VIM. Rohinson's place near Jackson's
Creek, was burned to death and on
the nezt day u colored child met the
same fate on Mrs. Milli"g's place. 1t
appears that the colorcd woman, who
was cooking for Mr.. Robinson's family.
ard her two brothers wero living to.
gcther in an out house. The brothers
went to bed that night leaving the
girl sitting by the fire. Lhtc in the

awakened by strange noises in the
Kitchen, and on going there, found
the men asleep and the woman fallen
forward in the fire, burnt to n crisp.
Every particle Of her clothing had
been burned off. 1T is supposed that
she must have fallen forward against
the back Of tho chimpey and been
stunned. An inquest waA held over
her body, and a verdict rendered in
accordance with the facts.
The ehila was playing ncar fire
in field and received burps, from
which it died.
