DEATH OF JOHN Il. MARSHALL, ESQ.
DR.. Marshall left Abbeville with
US, on his way to Greenville, to see
his brother John H. Marshall, who
had had an attack of paralysis,
which his many friends and rela-
tives in Abbeville will regret to
learn has proved fatal. He died on
Thursday last, We feel that we
have lost a good friend, and one
that we will miss when in Green
vile. He was ever the polite and
afable gentlemen, and had endear-
ed himself to a large circle, by his
sterling qualities Of mind and heart.

THE WHEELER HOUSE AND THE co.
li .LUMBIA HOTEL. Z,
We arrived safely in Columbia
and stopped at the Wheeler House,
which is kept by Mr.. Pollock who
is famous as a restaurant-keeper In
Columbia. The Hotel is very we'll
conducted and we regret to learn
from Mr.. Pollock that business is
not as good as he anticipated. We
had hoped that it would be well
patronized, but it seems that no
one can anticipate the future. Dur
ing our stay in Columbia we went
to the dining room of the Whee-
ler House with our friend Mr.. A.
A. Gilbert, the editor of the Sum-
ter Watchman, one of the best con-
Quoted newspapers in the State,
and called for supper, when we
were politely informed by SER
want, that we we're fifteen minutes
too late. We retired and regis
tered at the Columbia Hotel where
we sat down to an excellent supper.
The Columbia Hotel is well kept
and the House seemed to be filled
with guests. Well stop there next
time. o,a aa.a

..... UFACToRY.
During our stay in Columbia we
visited the work shop Of Mr.. F.
W. Wing. who drives splendid
business in the line of doors, sash,
blinds; &c. He has recently en-
larged bis shop and employed ad-
ditional force, and now.runs his ma.
chinery at. its full capacity. We
would advise our friends to patro-
nize him. He is faithful and
prompt. he has now in his en-
p'oy as Clerk, Mr., Thos. H. Wal
ker, who is a worthy and industri.
Gus young man of Ninety-six.
His friends from that section should
give him their orders.
THE METHODIST FEMALE COLLEGE.
In company with some friends
we called on Rev. s. A. Jones,
President of the Methodist Female
College in Columbia. That Insti-
tuition seemed to be succeeding
very well, and realizing fully the
expectations of its friends. AT
