AlR.sPAcE IN THE COUNTY HOSPITAL.

10 the Editor Of 4hc Chicago Tribune:
B1n: Tho cubic fees Of air-apaco allowed for
oach patient in tho County Hospital Inns already
boon alluded to by tho writer aud othora, in the
columns Of TIE TRIBUNE. But 1t sooms that tho
matter thus far has boon placed in o much
moro favorable light than tho facts will warrant.
DR.. D. Q. Miller, in lis recent and obyiously-
painstahing report, remarkB TINT "Tho building,
by orowding, will accommodate quo patients
which does not giye more thau 300 cubic foat Of
air por patient, whom 1900 is required"
But eyon this estimate, which is less favorable
than tho ono I have alrondy published,
docs not got at tho worst OF 1t.
Lot uB face tho actual facts, without
flinching or trying to augar-coat disagrocablo
dose. Recent and Trustworthy measurements
demonstrate that tho wards must lboraliy H,1p-
pliod with air have only 500 cubic feet per pa-
tient; othors have 70G feet Per patio,it; one
ward has 7a8 cubic feet per rationt ; aud ono
Gho eyo and car ward) has only ego fee. per 1a-
tient That is, tho wards which, by way Of COM

GRAND Amateur CONCERT.

The grand concert last Friday night was a
grand success. 1t Is always difficult to write
a notice of a concert, where all the performers
did well, without using the same common
place expressions of appreciation, The con-
cert was opened by magnificent chorus from
Lurline, away 10 the Chase" DR.. Joe Hern-
don's little four year old daughter, prodigy,
sang "Mistress Jinks," accompanied by ap-
proprIate actions which completely brought
down the house. The applause was SO great
the little prodigy had to come back, which she
did With all the pr0mptness of Nilsson or a
Patti. She sang, this time, Coming Through
the Rye which was even more gratifying to
the audience than the first. If Miss Camille
POSSESSES a fine voice when she grows up, she
will be a great prima donna, for we can safely
predict that she will'be a fine actress. About
a dozen boys came upon the stage, dressed up
in full uniform, representing Napoleon and
Iris Marshals," StOnewall Mayes, as Marshal
Ney, made a speech on behalf OF the MaTshals,
and Master Willie Fleming replied as NapO-
leon. In noticing several of the performances,
II must not be thought that those left unmen~
toned are unworthy to be spoken of. The
piano and harp duett, by Miss Kate Thomas
and Mrs. Major Mckinney, was one of the
very finest PEI fOrmances of the evening. Ii
was, in the perfect sense of the terms, artistic,
exquisite, not marred by a single discord.
Such beautiful rymth was music indeed
Miss Rosa Barnett and Mad lme Esteve are
meet with a warm reception, because they
never disappOint public expectation. Miss
Rosa appeared in a new piece, but it evidently
was not new to her, for she sang it with easC
and great power. Miss Holmes, who made
| this evening, her first appearance before the
Columbia public, created such good impress
sion, that she was called back, when she sang
''The Danube River" q beautiful song beau
| tifully sung. The Spinning Wheel Quar-
tette," from the fine opera, "Martha,' was
sung splendIdly by Miss Rosa Barnett, Miss
! Mary Barnett, Mr.. f. Ii. Smith, and Prot
/ Hill. The Spanish dance BY the little girls
was very gracefully done. DR.. Browns littlt
| daughter danced with beauty and grace tina
| charmed all beholders. She Is the
| personihcatIon of grace. "Little Sweetheart,
| solo and quartette, by Miss KnoXie Pickett
| Miss Mary Barnett, DR.. Sam Bicknell and Mr.
| Craik, was well received. The solo, which wa
sung by Miss Pickett, of Memphis, was espe
/ cially good. Mrs. Wilcox performed "Le Re-
! veil du Lion" in mastery manner In the
| piano aud violin Duet, Miss Coba Dunuingt0l
handled the bow in an admirable manner foI
one SO young. The closing chorus, "Inham
matus, was an appropriate climax to such a
| exquisite evenings entertainment. Mis- Nan
! ME Baird retained her hold on the lovers c

BEAR CREEK GOSSIP.

Our bulletin will not be very newSy
this week, as the animus of our neigh
b0rhoOd seems to have almost died out
during the past few days. The sudden
rise of cotton few weeks ago seemed
Jn fill us with new hope, but they are
nipped in the bud, cotton has fallen and
the fall has caused a suspension en-
brdciug everything out here. Our
farmers have lost confidence in every
thing and relapSed into the old channel
OF do nothing. But we hope this condi-
ton of affairs is transient, ald Will soon
pass away. Hard times will pass away
if we all viii Join the oranges and put a
stop to so much imposition.
Since writing the above, however, we
learn that a speedy resuscitation OF
things is OminOus, cotton has advanced
little, and if madam rumor IS not
misinfOrmed, weddings and parties are
looming in the distance in no small num-
Der Ii cotton would just 90 TO fifteen
cents there would be more weddings
out here than three-these three will
come oil any how, as they are not gov
erned by the fall and rise of cotton.
We were visited last week by severe
thunder storm accompanied by dashing
showers OF rain and one continued flash
of lightning. Considerable timber and
fencing were blown, &c.
a new road is now being opened from
the new iron bridge intersectlng the old
Davis ford road, near SOwell IL Hardi-
sons mills. This road will be a great
benefit to the people in Sheep Neck
Bend.
1t would be a lasting benefit to the
Bear creek neighbOrhOOd if the Overseer
of our road would turn the creek out of
the Leftwich lane and keep it out. This
part OF the road, like the balance Of 1t,
is almost impossible, and unless speedy
action is taken in that direction, sus~
pension OF travelling it is inevitable.
There are about three oYerSeers on this
road and yet it is the worst road IN the
county.
Aruuor current in the neighborhood
that Ike Primm is dead, is mistake,
as he is we'll and at work. Ike is the
negro that received stunning blow,
from a stone thrown by Scott stephens.
A second story room will be built to
the Blanton Chapel church, which VIII
be used as a Masonic Hall.
A Young man, handsome and we'll
dressed, was Overtaken by night III the
hills and woods on the north side OF the
creek recently. After rambling Tor
hours in the dense forest and majestic
hills he found a log cabin, and being
told that it was two miles to Mr.. --,
he hired the old darkey to pilot him to
the pike. Paying him quarter and bld9
ding him good might, he rode back to-
wards town, fully determined never to
travel that road after night again.

Marriage in the Presbyterian
Church

Mr.. GEO. c. MILNER and Miss FAN
ME COOPER, daughter OF Col. NJ. D.
Cooper, were married in the PrnsbY-
terrain church in this place, last Wednas-
day night. The impressive ceremony
was performed by Rev. $. W. Mitchell,
of Zion church. The church was ar
ranged autifulIy-evergreens over the
pulpit and grey moss on the chandeliers.
Immediately back of the pulpit was the
letter an, formed by eveTgreens. The
attendants were: Prof. Powers, of Flor
ence, Ala, and Miss ElOise Cooper; Mr..
Will Park and Miss Louie ZOllicoffer;
Mr. Wise DObbins and Miss Ellie Mars
tin; Mr.. Kennedy, Of Alabama, and Miss
Mary Robinson; Mr.. \. d. Cooper and
Miss Kennedy, of Florence, Ala; Mr..
5. SAMSON and Miss Mary Walker. As
was said of the marriage OF the Princess
Louise and her husband, it was a real
love match. George Miner fell in'JOYe
with his wife when she was little girl
about eight years old, and has been true
to his first love. Living in the same
neighbOrhoOd, they were thrown much
together, and they grew up loving each
other. Miss Fannie is most amiable
young lady, and her husband a most es-
Unable young MANTLE is a son OF the
late Rev. Isaac Miner, and is a young
man OF fine mind and sterling qualities.
After the marriage, large number of
persons assembled at Col. Cooper's ele-
CANT mansion, and partook of a sumptu-
Gus supper. The three parlors and the
hall were crowded with glOriously beau
tiful women and fascinated men. A
splendid band of music was at hand, and
the young folks Toasted themselves on
the poetry of graceful motion. Mr.. Mil
ner received a thorough education, and
received testimonials in all the schools
for superiority in the department of elO
cution; all of which enables US to pre-
diet a bright future for him if he would
enter one ofthe learned professions. But
he prefers plain farmers life. The
farm has need of many such Intelligent
and accomplished young men.

Winter entered quite warm, and
brought with it, on Tuesday morning, a
sky Overshadowed with clouds, from
which rain began to fall early in the day,
dampening the prospects of cotton and
corn gatherers, already tardy.
Hog killing is quite over. There was
less butchered in this neighborhood this
season than for years, owing to the scar
city of corn. The farmers love king cot
ton too we'll to raise corn enough to do
them. They also neglect hog raising
and stock generally.
Mr.. Lucius BUD Love, who resides

rinr. "a Naw York fallou

is the following: ga New York fellow
by the nane Of Pritchard, has written
an article in which he claims, that at
| the head of the fourth Michigan cavalry,
he captured jeff. Davis, dressed like a
| woman, etc." If / mistake not, this
command was stationed at Franklin
| during the war, and male occasional ex-
cursions into the country, in one of
| which they encountered flag of truce,
| about two miles north of this place.
| Hating his command and concealing
them behind hill, until the little party
with the flag had approached within
few hundred yards, this brave colonel
ordered charge upon the party, firing
a volley as they approached over their
heads, doubtless expecting to produce
stampede, but the rebels rode on meet
ing them with perfect nonchalence; and
after short parley, in which the FEEDER
al colonel refused to let the flag pass on
to Franklin, Capt. Perkins replied
back to him: "Then sir, will retire;
send my flag back to Columbia, and re-
sist your advance" In few moments
he had his escort, consisting of Lieut..
Dick Clouston, Capt. Jack Crawson, and
perhaps one or two others, well posted,
near the residence of DR.. Sharber, and
upon the approach of the Yankees, open
ed brisk fire upon them, which was re
turned at long range, but their forward
the gallant Perkins and his brave es-
cort. In the meantime Maj. jeff. For
rest, who happened to be not far off
with about ninety-men, came up and
was making preparations to cooperate
with Perkins, when a panic seized Col.
Pritchard, and in hot haste, and at the
head OF his command, retreated towards
Franklin, followed by Perkins and one
or two others, firing into them whenev-
or they could get close enough. The
chase was kept up for several miles, and
amounted almost to stampede. Col. |
Pritchard, the hero OF this battle. is a
very propera person to be reiterating, a
long exploded, lying story about jeff |
Davis capture.
In consequence of continued rains,
there Tas preaching at neither of the
churches in this place on last Sabbath.
DR.. Molloy of the Cumberland Church,
has commenced a series of sermons on
infidelity and kindred subjects, which
he proposes to continue on every Friday
night, until the course is finished. Our
people would do we'll to attend these
lectures or discourses, as the subjects
will doubtless be discussed to the edit
cation to all who attend.
1t is matter of deep regret to our peo-
pie to learn of the continued i'll health
of Sarah, the amiable wife of Rev. F. A.
Thompson, former pastor of the Presby~
terrain church in this place. Mr.. Thomp-
son had made arrangements to move his
family to Franklin, but her declin ing
health has caused him to change his
plans, and the church session of his new
pastorate, has kindly consented to the
change, although the church will there's
by be deprived of much of his services,
particularly in pastoral visiting.
