Fell Among Thieves who Stripped him

Of his Ra1ments
School Commissioner George Morgan
goes from Edgefield to Columbia, and
g falls among thieves who strip him OF his
raiment. Commissioner Morgan who is
:, .fine-looking, polite colored man, sports
asa fine walsh, and dresses well, repairs
" to the capital to attend a sort of conven-
ton of his brother Commissioners. Upon
/. arriving he goes straigh:way to Treasurer
Z Cardozo, who, although he has no money
on hand for School Commissioners, OBJ
liges him with a few dollars. He then
meets his two colored friends, Col. John
Green and Nesbitt Perry, Esq, both o.
distinguished Edgetieid antecedents. He
accepts au invitation to sojourn at Mr..
Green's house, and Laying himself down
], among friends and countrymen, shares
Mr.. Ps bed At.break; of day Comnis-
sioner Morgan hears ,Mr. Perry driving
a team in his sleep. He looks up, and,
discovering Il window open near the bed
thinks itwouid not be 'unwfse to see af-
ter his watch. He looks, and tindstvest
and watch gone. He rises and thinks he
will draMionshis pants and penetrate the
mystery. Pants gone! Coat gono! High
dress suit forever lost TO sight! Eyes
..scarcelyleftiut the Commissioners head
q He borrows apair of pants from Mrs.
g., Whether they, were Mrs. G's own
: pants or not is q question. However they
hide the, commissioner nakedness and
tighten his bushes. But nothing does
the Commissioner find. And again,
naked and humiliated, a victim of con-
fidence in old friends, he repairs to the
State Treasurer--snd 'sis again slightly
= q heeled'' by, the same.
And now Commissioner Morgan is at
home again, with good ciothesoncemore,
but chagrined down 70 the ground at his
inability to tclshis feie,ids the time OF
sIldays He says he has not a doubt but
s:tiIat Greef, and Perry were "conlunk1
i;sfn robbing him. And truth to say, this
sort OF 9 conj1nls. business i an every
day matter with .iae party to which the
gommissicner belongs.

Burning of an Old Mansion in Ham-

Burning of an Old Mansion in Ham,
burg.
The old Stokes mansion, in retired
part of Hamburg, near the river, was
consumed by fire on Monday afternoon
with all its furniture and contents. 1t
was the home of the widow of the late
DIR. Jeremiah Stokes, and of her grand
son, Mr.. j. II. Thayer. An adjoining
house, occupied, but not owned, by Mr..
John Lyon, was also consumed. Mr..
Lyon saved his furniture. We under
stand that Mrs. Stokes loss is covered
by an insurance of 81 600.
A third house, adjoining Mr.. Lyons,
likewise fell prey to heflames. 1t was
valued at $3.50.

On Sunday last, we departed for Ridge
Spring to witness the baptism Of many
old and valued friends, who have lately
ioined the Church there; but when
twelve miles upon our journey, discov-
cred that the baptizing had been post
poned until the coming Sunday, and
that, owing to the session of neighbor-
ing Association, there would be no re-
hgions services at all at Ridge Spring:
Being almost at the gates Of. one of the
most beautiful and hospitable homes
s1ong the Ridge Capt. Clinton Wards
we there sat up our rest for the day--a
delightful and luxurious rest it was!-
and went with our host to see the glories
Of the new Church at Spann's, and to
hear an excellent sermon from the Rev.
VIM. Thomas. This was the first SER
vice, If, we mistake not, in the new
Church. And the Congregation was
large, and evidently proud-and certain
ly most laudably so-of their model
house of worship. However, as the
dedication; of this Church, is not to take
place until the first Sunday in Novem-
ber, we will postpone any further re-
marks concerning ituntil after that oc-
casion. The baptizing at Ridge Spring
so me twenty or twenty-five persons to
be immersed by the. Rev. Mr.. Pierson-
is to take place on Sunday next, between
IL and o'clock. r.

brought out considerable crowd of
our fellow citizens from the country, and
four or five of our business friends from
Augusta. Peoples faces did not look as
bright as we have seen them at this time
Of year The financial panic was, of
course, the prevailing topic. From what
we gathered, those who owe money will
send forward more or less cotton; those
who owe but little will be apt to keep
their cotton at home for the present.

NAeo tAeEoly is in a statoof health,
'o2j taken into tie stomach acts Oh
the bowels as stimulant, causing
that woI'~}-like motion by which their
contents are expelled. The liver being
in a natural condition, the flow of bile
(Which IS q mild cathartic) into the in
teshnes is ample and regular, and
hence the discharges ere easy and SUI
ticiently frequent. The reverse of all
this constitutes c0,tIVeacsS, and tie
only tue method Of cure is 20 restore
the functional activity of the two i'm
poItant organs which use the bowels
as 4 sewer Tor the egress of waste mat
ter. For this purpose Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters can be cOnfdentially
recommended as the most effective of
all medicines. It is not too mnch to
say that chronic constipation would be
unknown if the Bitters were in univer-
sal use as a remedy in the earlier
stages Of the complaint. At this period
of the year, when dyspepsia with all
its kindred disorders is SO apt to be
engendered and aggravated by the
dampness Of the atmosphere, this IN.
stimulant, tonic and Alternative
should be taken daily. 4w.
