real estate is very dull far as buying and selling
is concerned, has been so for several weeks

sells lively under the impetus given thereto
by the jubilee auction system at prices
highly remuneratve to both owners aud

last great sale OF the week was made by Jere john

Death of an Aged Lady.

Mrs. Louisa Murrell, mother of our

Sumter, OH the 3rd instant. Ut tho ad-
vanced age Of SO years. The Snmter
Neirs, noticing her death, says:
"Mrs. Murrell was remai kabie wo-
man, possessing a clear. powerful. vig"r
Gus intellect, which retincd its strength
and brightness almost up 10 the last mo-
ment of her life. She WAS one of the
few links, connecting the present time,
with the heroic age Of our country. In
her younger days she associated and
communed with giants, and the impress
sion then made impaired Il Titan lone to
her thoughts and character. Had she
been Of the sterner sex, with her athletic
mind, robust integrity of character, and
lofty patriotism, she would have nude
an indelible mark upon her age and
country. We remember hearing the
late Colonel William G. Preston, who
resided many years III Washington City,
and who was acquainted with all the
female celebrities OF America, pronounce
Mrs Murrell to he one of the most re-
markable, gifted and accomplished wo
men he had ever known. She was
buried on Sunday at the family cemete-

why Some Hotels are Unpopular.

What is the most common complaint
with guests against first class hotels ?
Nine old travellers out of ten can give
you the fault formula in minute. About
as follows. II registered my name, and
they gave ms room at the top of the
house, and charged Gae as much as if I
had the best room on ths lowest floor.
Major General Buncombe had the best
room in the house and didn't pay any
more than did. twill be positively
refreshing to our readers to know that
there is one first-class hotel, ut least on
Broadway, New York, that has taken
stand against this unsatisfactory and
worn-out system. and charges less for
the upper floors than the lower, and al
lows the guests to choose Dr themselves.
The Grand Central HetA, Under the
judicious management of Fl. r. Powers,
adopted this incomparably the best sys-
tenn at the start, and 1t is being better
appreciated every day. The Grand Cen
trail has now taken the lead of all New
York Hotels, in its arrivals as well ms
other respects. Its prices are $500, $3.50
and 800 per day. An elegaatly furnish

A Tremendous Ado About Samana


President Grant failed in his design of
annexing Santo Domingo to the United
States; and now Company of New York
and Boston Spectators have gone and
bought it. Or rather, they have bought
the port and peninsula of samana, with
such rights and privileges as will soon
give them possession of the whole island.
The new purchase lies in the easternpart
of Santo Domingo (Which is the same as
HaytD and is about twenty five miles in
length by fivo in breadth. 1t comprises
the wcalthiest part of the Dominican Re-
public. Indeed it is said to be the
veal thiest spot land the siclillest) on the
face of the globe-weathy in minerals,
and wealthy as regards the soil. 1t is
said that the mines used to yield the
Spaniards $40, 100000 annually of gold.
Happy New York and Boston speeula-
tors f! And rs to the harbor, it is also
the largest and finest in the world for
shipping. This Company hasamonopo-
ly by purchase of all the grants and
privileges after making internal i'm
proyements, No railroad, telegraph line,
or wagon road, can be built without the
permission OF this American Company.
OF course, under these eircnn stances,
the possession of the whole country is
only question of q very short time.
The President OF the Republic is sharp
negro named Bacz, and he signs the con-
tract with the New Workers and the Bos,

public is, what does all this mean. Is it

now getting detailed reports from the
nearer settlements, and it will be fully 3
week ere these are so complete as to be be
trustworthy. Many Of the missing will
not be found till spring; but it is safe
to set down all the missing as dead. After
carefully collating the various reports re-
ce.ved thus far. and making all allowance
for the remaining parts of the State, am
led to conclude that the loss Of Life in
Minpesota will range from two hundred
and fifty to three hundred. 1t IS Just
possible. though not probable, that the
higher figure may be reached. Almost all
of these are men and the very large pro-
portion of them fathers of families.

Edgefield Gold Mines and Railroads.
Of course most of our people have
heard a good. deal of the -Faulkner., Quat..
tlebanm, and kandruIm dlyIm geld mines mines, orr
rather gold lands, some three or four
miles above Meeting Street. Mining
upon tLese lands has been beg in from
time to time within the past ten or twelve.
years, but owing to the war, and the
consequent confusion and want of capital,
but little has been effected. Repeated
examinations of the veins andspecimens,,
however, have strengthened the, belief
that untold wealth lies buried in this
favored region: And or this opinion Is
a Mr.. Wilkie, an enterprising Northern
man, of Schenectady, N. York, the latest
individual who has looked into the mat
ter. Mr.. wilkfe' has been on a visit to
the gold region lately, and is SO well sat
isf1ed with what he saw that he has leased
these lands for a long period, and re-
turned to the North to make preparations
for working the mines. And he has
also so thoroughly convinced one Of most
practical and long-headed citizens that
there is money in this undertaking, as
to induce the said citizen-Dr: D. C.
Tompkins-to become party to the en-;
terprise. I'VE all know that tits not one,

Andthen, as these gold fields lie ono
near the route of the proposed Ninety
Six, Edgefeld and Aiken Railroad, we
shall haye Northern capitalists coming
to our assistance-7heavily we hope. And
this hope is the more. fiattering in. view
of the fact that our own people are at
