Run, Run, UN.-The papers of Fay
e~ttcvillc are very much excited, They say
that you can hear half a dozen hammers
a day, and as many saws, in the town.
They say there are at least u dozen men at
work, and that as many more could gctcm-
ploymcnt. They are building II house. or
going to build one somewhere. They are
going to have an election for the countyto
say where they will locate it. Some want
it in one place, and some in another. But
they arc going to build . one certain,
and the town is going to improve. This
excitement has been equaled only once
before, when Il little stern-wheCler came
up there. They at once declared Elk

ships, tore down their mill-dams on the
river, and, and, and-got out of meal,

THE CITIZENS; SAVINGS DANK OF
SOUTH CAROLINA has to-day gone into
voluntary bankruptcy, under our advice.
This advice has been given as the most ef-
fectual means OF protecting the interests of
lte dePositors and other creditors--who can
thus, and thus only, have the mana cement
and control OF. its assets-instead Of their
being placed in the hands of q receiver, in
whose selection they have no voice.
The Ofhoers Of the Bank will, at an early
day, publish q statement, giving full infor.
nation Of it's affairs.
We would warn depoaitors and crcditors
not to barter their claims to spectators and
other interested parties, as we ere informed
there exists most dangerous combination.
whose OBJECT is to obtain a controlling inte-
rest, to the destruction of the Bank and the
detriment OF depositors.
we would further advise the lepositors
and creditors to retain their claims until the
publication above referred to has been nj ade.
which, IN our. opinion, will justify the via
dom and policy OF the course adopted in
their interest, aud will suggest plan, which.
If heartily co.operated in by depositors and
creditors, will save them from loss. l-3

The Yellow Fever.

The rumors which for some time have
been in circulation regarding the exist
ence of yellow fever in the southwest,
it now appears, have been too well
founded. It is now admitted that it
prevails in certain portions of the city
of Memphis, and at least thirty persons
in that city have fallen victims to the
fatal malady. At Shreveport, La, the
disease seems to have broken out with
great violence. Most of the telegraphic
operators have been stricken down by
it. A panic has fallen upon the peo-
pie, and the little town is deserted.
The Mayor of the town, in telegraphic
dispatch to Washington to Senator
West, says 1.-THE poor are nearly all
on our hands. No money in the city
treasury. All pecuniary aid will be
thankfully received. Fever increasing" "
A later dispatch states that there are
six hundred persons sick, and that one
hundred and forty-six unfortunates have
died. The sudden change in the weather
from heat to cold has increased the rate
of mortality. A more alarming state of
things can hardly be conceived. We
call upon the public to come forward at
once to the relief of these unfortunate
people. We do so with the full con-
viction that the response will be prompt
and equal to the occasion. With Chica-
90 and Boston fresh in our memories,
we cannot believe that Shreveport will
be left one day without relief. From
Mobile we learn that the Advisory Board
of Health has Instructed the Mayor to
issue proclamation quarantining New
Orleans, so far as local travel is con-
cerned. This example should be fol-
lowed OF once wherever there is any
possibility of communicating with the
infected districts.

All Odd Pet.

A writer, in speaking of sailors pets,
tells us of Jock, ga seal of tender
years, who for many months retained
the affections of all hands, until washed
overheard in a gale of wind. This
creatures time on board was fully oc-
cupied in round of duty, pleasure and
labor. His duty consisted in eating
seven meals a day, and bathing in a
tub after each; his pleasure, to lie on
his side on the quarterback and be
scratched and petted; while his labor
consisted in ceaselessly endeavoring to
enlarge a certain scupper-hole suffici-
emily to permit his escape to his native
ocean. How indefatigably he used to
work day after day and hour after hour,
scraping on the iron first with one flip
per, then another, then poking his nose
in to measure the result with his whisk-
cred face He kept the hole bright
and clear, but did not sensibly enlarge
it, at least to human KEN"

A Corpse Exhumed to Kill a SIander.

A Canadian gentleman named Cam
eron ten years since returned home
from British Columbia, bringing with
him coffin containing the dead bodies
of his wife and child, who had died
during his absence. They were in
tered near Cornwall, where Mr.. Cam
eron resides. Recently, while he was
absent, some of his neighbors got up
q story that the coffin supposed to con
tain the corpse of Mrs. Cameron inclosed
nothing but piece of clay, that lady
having been in reality sold by her hus-
band to an Indian chief on the Pacific
coast for a gold chain. Strange as it
may seem, this monstrous tale found
ready belief among the Kanucks, and
when Mr.. Cameron came home he found
necessary to refute it. So he adver-
tised that on certain day the grave
would be opened, and the corpses ex-
posed to view. When the time came
several hundred people were present.
The bodies were exhumed and exhibited
to the gaping crowd. They were in ex-
cellent preservation. having been en-
balmed Immediately after death, and
the features of Mrs. Cameron were dis
tinctly recognized by those who knew
her in life. This, of course, exploded
the story of the sale, and gave peace of
mind to the gossips.

CAN 1T BE TRUE Within the last
few months q considerable number of
persons have called upon DR.. Walker,
the proprietor of the popular medicine
known as VINEGAR BIrTERs, and as
sured him that, in their belief, his
preparation is IN infallible antidote for
rum and tobacco. The minute details
which have been furnished him forbid
him to doubt the accuracy OF the state
ments. This new claim of great rem
edy to the confidence Of the public will
give vast and well-deserved impulse
to it's popularity. Heretofore the BIT
TIERS have been recognized as pure
vegetable tonic and corrective, devoid
of alcohol, and thoroughly adapted to
the cure of stomach and bowel COM
plants, nervous disorders, bilious af-
fections, muscular diseases, and, in
deed, majority of the ailments within
the reach of medicine but if it will
also cure the craving for liquor and TO-
bacco, philosophers, statesmen and the
ologians ought to unite their voices in
its praise. Can the good news be true
1t is easy to test the question.-Coma.
