Winnie Ream is said to sing as well as
she chiseis.'' If this is meant that she
! sings as we'll as che ''chisels" Congress
out OF money. she's equal to prima

to her chiseling OF :, statues, then the

MYsTER1oUs.-A boat. loaded with
hfty bales Of cotton, the property of
Messrs. Hughes and Gilmore, of Union
and Chester Counties, started down the
river, few days ago, for Columbis.
The Hat ran on snag, near Bookman's
| Mill, about fifteen miles above here. but
was relic ved, reloaded. and again started
for Columbia. Sufficient time has elapsed
for the boat to have reached it's destina.
tion, but since its rolease from the snap.
nothing has been seen or heard of the
boat or the men who were managing it.
we learn that an empty flat was seen to
pass down the river yesterday. This is
mystery we hope to he able to explain in
ouEnext.
SINGULAR PRooEED1Na.-A singular af-
fair occurred on Thursday night. AS
Mr.. Smith, foreman of the Union Office,
was on his way home, he was ordered to
'halt, by man who afterwards proved
to be Policeman Smith. Mr.. Foreman
Smith at first paid no attention to the
order. but when it was repeated, he drew
his pistol, and told the policeman to
keep off. Just then. Mr.. Hernandez,
who was on the piazza Of Roses Hotel,
iuterfered, and asked Mr.. Smith what he
meant by threatening policeman. The
reply was that he thought it was a rob
ber. Smith was then arrested by!the
two men and carried several blocks,
when he was released. It was singular
proceeding. to say the least; and We give
it as We heard it.
r. P. Kinds, the inventor OF the cele.
brated Brunswick paint, is in the city,
engaged in painting the roofs of the
Lunatic Asylum. which have long been
in bad condition.. He guarantees all
roofs free from leaks at the simple price
Of painting only. Old roofs guaranteed
at the same price as new, no matter what
the present condition. As to it's dura-
bility, he refers to the old Nickerson
House, Captain Sem and others. Orders
left at tho Central Hotelor Morris News
Depot, will receive prompt attention. r =
DEATH OF AN Ex- MRMBER OF TIE LIE.
a1sLATURE. We regret to learn that on
Wednesday last. the body of Capt. ".
G. Stewart, highly respected citizen of
Lancaster County, was found in the
woods, not fur from Lancaster. He had,
us is supposed, committed suicide. by
shooting himself through the heart.
Capt. Stewart had been missing for seve-
raj days, and search being instituted. the
body was found in the woods, as above
stated. Pecuniary embarrassmentsc caused
tho net. Capt. s. was gallant soldier
in the Mexican war. (where he lost IA
yorite brother;) he also fought bravely
with the Confedorates. The Captain
WAS member OF the first Legislature
which met after the close of the war,
and his uncut hair and unshaven beard
attracted general attention. He was
bachelor. His many friends will regret
his untimely end.
