Accrpexr.-Mr. Vim. Glenn, Of Laurens
Co.. while on visit to this place, accident
ally sho. himself on Thursday last, though
not seriously, we are glad to say. 1tappears
thss he had inserted his hands in his pants
pocket to get piece Of money, and IN draw
ing it out hastily,a small deringer pistol was
made to discharge. theball from which en-
tering the groin passed down into the thiSn'

MARKED Dowx.-The extensive and pop
MAR house of Messrs. r. c. Shiver & Co..
whose interests are so prod.ably and agree
ably looked after By Mr. a. E. Bruce has
marked down its remaining Stock OF Dress
Goods, shswls, Skirts and Millinery, and the
public are advised to.make note Of this as
bargains are promised. The stock thus
marked down Is extensive as we'll as elegant.
and Of great. variety.
TIE Wsa-HRR.-Since our last issue We
have experienced in this latitude some OF
the most bitter weather on record. On Sat
urday and Sunday the freeze penetrated close
dwellings, while the keen biting wind insinu-
a,ed itself not only through cracks and crew
ices, but almost through solid walls. The
oldest inhabitant acknowledged it cold
Though slightly moderated at this hour, the
appearances are threatening, and G s!eesl or
snow storm is spprehended.
MEs1xeer1s.-This dreadful disease is still
in our midst, though the new cases are not
80 frequent as they were one week ago.
Among the colored people it's very fatal,
We regret to learn that son Of Mr.. Dennis
Lark died few days ago, and also an inter
es.ing little girl, the daughter Of Mr.. William
Lake, both we believe of the above named
disease. We add with regre: that large
amount of sickness prevails outside Of menin-
gets.
MAI. B. EzELL, we are pleased to see,
as will be his many friends, has been elected
q director of the Carolina Nationa! Bsns OF
Co,pnbis. The well-kpown business quail
ties of this gentleman eminen:ly fit him for
2 position Of this kind, and we are confident
tina: he will discharge the onerous duties OF
this Office with satisfaction to all who are in
terested in the Carolina National Bank. An
indomitable and un;iring worker is the Ms.
jor.
GOOD Apv1cE.-"Josh" gets off good
thing sometimes. His advice to young men
wanting to marry is, that after hnd'ng q
pirl 70 "fnd out all about her mother, see if
she haz got q heap ov good common sense,
study we'll her likes and dislikes, eat sum
ov her hum-made bread and apple dump
lins. notis whsther she aouzes all ov her
nabers, ask her servants how long they
lived thare, and don't fail tew observe
whether her dresses are last years ones, fix!
over.
Ifyou are satisfied that the mother would
make the right kind ov mother-in-law, "a
kan safely konklude that the dause. would
make the right kind oy a wife"
NoNERo OF HER.-O.hello's occupation's
almost gone, as the girls will discove. by
the following paragraph:
New inventions always tend to modify, Il
not abolish, old institutions. Free love, di'
yorce courts, and cooperative boarding
houses had already MADE fearful iuroads
into the domsin Of u,atrimouy, when some
man, having &c. reverence for the institution,
with naligu ingenuity managed to get out
patens for shirt buttons. that can be put on
with screw device, instead of womanly
fingers. With this driver, it is argued in
an.i-Benedictine qusrters, the last necessity
for = wife has gone.
REY.HW. KuRSs.-This gentleman, who
has accepted the pastorate of Luther Chapel
is thus kindly noticed in his departure from
Omaha, By the Journal:
"The people Of this city and state vii
learn with deep regret that Mr. Kuhns i:
about 70 transfer the scene Of his laoors t
South Carolina. His long residence here
his unblemished life, his abilities as pastor
aud his uniform success, rendered him fo'
many years The most prominent among th'
ministers Of Omahs. By hundreds he is re
garded not only with interest, but with love
He cemen,ed their affections BY the sacret
rite Of marriage, aud when the srse! Q
