PERsoNAt. -Wo notice the pres I.
encc in our town Of Lieut.. Juo. 8.
Reynolds and Sorgt. Stephen d.
Mobley, of Kings Mountala Military
School. Those gentlemen arc now
on vacation, after year Of uninter.
rupted work, and We doubt not they
will enjoy the change. They both
scem iu fine health aud spirits, and
we coholude that tho fine climate Of
Yorkville and the Systematic work ut
K. NJ. NJ. s., agree with them. We
are gratiGed to learn that Cadet
Mobley has taken q high position in
his class, his papers ut the final ex-
aminaLion--whlch is always rigid
and searching --having been very
creditable. The vacation 90 ntiuurs
till the lst Of February next.
KlNc's MOUNTAIN MILITARY
ScnooL.-We acknowledge the re.
ceipt of copy of the annual oata.
ltgue of this most excellent iastitu.
tion. The reputation Of tho School
is already 60 we'll established that
it would seem almost supelfuous for
us to say any thing as to its merits
The faculty is an able one, the course
of instruction complete, the disci-
pline excellent aud tho location in
every way good. This institution
is the pioneer military college estab.
lisbed by private enterprise in the
Southern States, and the only one
in South Carolina. Col. Coward, the
Princi al and ono of the original
founders Of the School, is ripe
scholar and experienced instructor.
AS an officer ia tic Confederate Ar
my, he attracted the personal notice
of General Ice by his courage in the
field and his general efficiency as
regimental commander. We trust
that this School will always receive
that liberal public patronage 20
which its many excelleuces eptitla it.
Catalogues may be had at this office.
w. The Legislature has done but
little as yot, but seems to b. inocu-
lated with reform. A proposition to
subscribe for the Charleston and Co.
lumbia papers for the members has
been vo.ed down, and rule has been
made forbidding the introduction of
any bills for incorporating Clubs,
Churches, Military Companies &c.
The Committees of the house have
been appointed. The Conservatives
have no important Committees. Mr..
Melchcrs of Charleston is chairman
IF committee on Immigration. Col.
w. G. Beattie of York, conserva.
tive elected on tho regular ticket is
chairman Of the committee on Judi
ciary. Hon. G. A. Trenholm, on
Commerce. Mr.. S. j. Keeth on
Books and Insurance Companies.
The members from Fairfield are on
the following Committees
Joel Copes, on Penitsntiary and
John Gibson, on Land Commits.
sion, and on State House and
Grounds.
Joseph Thompson, on Political
disabilities.
A GREAT FRAUD.-Oue- Professor
Hare gave an entertainment at the
Thespian Hall on Friday evening.
The name of the professor being en-"
tirely now, aud the comments of the
of the towns at which he
had performed being not very favora.
Bile, the audience had reason to OK.
pect general humbug. And they
were by no means disappointed.
Tho pretended legerdemain was a
ludicrous farce aud most of the
tricks were quite "too thin" to i'm.
pose upon the most crcdulous. The
distribution of "valuab'e gifts" wac
of the same character as that adopt:
ed by most Of the itinerant swlndIcrs
that now lnfest the country--proflta.
BILE to the donor and heavy on the
receiver. Each tick ct .holder receiy.
ed very handsome and valuallo
kcy-ring while those who drew
lucky numbers received gifts Of
water bnckets; brass j,welry, broottls,
etc. We trust that honest peopld
evorywhofe will keep a sharp eye on
the professor, and thut our eaoliatlgce
viii anticipate his visits with q
Timely warning to their readers.
