not with the blaze OF gas howcvcr-that will
come il due iime-Eut with soft mellow
kcroS;Ee jets, Of sufficient brightness and
Capacity tc. all present purposes. When the
whole number is erected and put abtaze, the
streets vii! prcscnta different appearance to

We now have granite side walk-our
devil says sideling-a new market house, L
factory with d bell, and street lamps, aud the
next iu order is Babcock 100 foot gas
protector, after that we will respectfully
call for wafer ~ork$ by which We can have Il
supply carried TO our houses by piping for
bathing and other purposes. then will we
advocate the erection OF gas works, but in
the meantime we 60 hope some li:tlc though,

to the street, and formed in procession Of
tWos. each with his or her floral offering
hanging from the arm. The procession was
soon formed, for thanks 10 the committee of
arrangements everything necessary 10 make
a general harmony Of action was done, and
we do not recollect ever having seen any
thing Of the kind carried OUT in all its details
with rs little confusion; and in consequence
the procession soon moved off under the
lead of the Cornets' inspiriiing strains, first
to the old village burial ground and from
thence 10 KoSemont Cemetery, where the
lowery offerings were gently laid above the
ground where rests the los; and lamcntcd
father, husband, son and brother. There
were twentyseven graves in al! which re-
ccived the grateful and fearful tribute.
Before closing this brief notice Of Memorial

press our qualification for the general interest
manifested, and the marked respect shown
by the entire community, and it is we'll here
now to indulge the hope that like spirit

several days 10 recover. Coming unexpect-

from one we had always looked upon as the

CoUer.-Thc General Sessions docket was
entered into with spirit during the week, and
considerable business accomplished. We
learn that the Grand Jury returned ten True
Bills, against parties for selling liquor not in
accordance with the requirements Of the old
Tupper Law, but 10 tender consideration
OF the innocence Of the trangreSSorS, have
recommended them to the mercy Of tho
Court-and we suppose that on their promise
TO do so no more no fine will attach. The
following cases have been disposed Of: The
State VS.. J. b. Chappell and 3. n. Blease-
riot, assault and battery, with intent to kill
not guilty; State vs.. I. N. Paysinger-officia

TaEPEINISG-A most successful surgical
operation Of the above character was per-
formed on Wednesday last, on son Of our
felow-townsman, Mr.. Burr J. Ramagc. The
operation was performed by Drs Darby of
Columbia, and assisted by majority of our
physicians, together with Dr.. L. F. Jackson,
also of Columbia The time occupied was
nearly two hours. The accident which made
the operation necessary. was the result Of a
kick on the head from mule, between -
and Il years ago. So far the patient is
doing finely. In our next issue we hope TO
give full particulars OF this exceedingly deli
cate operation, and also 10 be able TO state
that our young hero friend who submitted to
it is ont of danger.

MEMORIAL DAY.-Though the heavens
threatened drenching showers on Thursday
last. and an occasional slight sprinkle did
fall, yet the turn out exceeded expectation.
All persons, young and old, and OF both
sexes, seemed fully inspired with the seuti-
ment Of the occasion, aud nearly all of the
stores closed their doors, and suspended
business from II to clock, that proprietor
and clerk alike might contribute to swell the
throng and join in doing honor to our brave
Confederate dead. Shortly after the hour
a2poiuied, Mcssrs. Mayes 4 Martins Hall
began 10 fill, for instead Of the procession
forming al once outside as the first step in the
o7der Of published arrangement, it was
deemed best, in consequence OF the heavy
clouds, to gather inside, and have Col. \. J.
Pope's address first, and the decoration last,
and this was happily done. The Address
wis an eloquent one, full! of touching tribute
t. tho gallant dead, and was listened to with
rlpt attention. The Hall was appropriately
anI taS,e.ully decorated with crergrcens
hung in fcstoons from one extremity to the
o:hcr, and suspended from the stage in Large
evergreen characters were the words "CuI
