LUsUs NATURE.
We learn that Mr.. John MCCARTHY, living
six miles south of this place, owns SOW which
has four young pigs, three of them having on
each of their fore legs two perfectly formed
! feet. As is Unusual in similar freaks Of ma
ture, the pigs are healthy and bid fair to be-
come thrifty porkers.
THE CITIZENS SAVINGS BANK.
We learn from the Columbia Phenir of
Saturday last, that Judge Bryan, of the Uni
ted States District Court, has confirmed the
action of the Committee of Creditors of the
Citizens Saving Bank, held on the 18th Of
January, in appointing DR.. John Fisher as
trustee who in connection with committee
of creditors, will control the affairs of the
Bank for the present. A meeting Of the
Committee of Creditors is called for on the
18th of February, instant.
MIACO WIZARD.
The Miaco Wizard and Ventriloquist has
been performing in this town during the pres
ent week. Besides magic and legerdemain,
which include the various feats of the "black
art," and which are performed in clever and
dexterous manner, the Wizard is supported
by comic singers and Ethiopian delineators,
whose comicalties and burlesques are we'll
rendered and mirth provoking, while the
comic Maronettes never fail to I'll the chill
dren with ecstasies of delight. Not the least
attraction of the exhibition is panorama Of
Bible Scenes accompanied by an interesting
lecture The entertainment Of the Miaco
Troupe is quite credtablc, and we have no
hesitancy in commencing their exhibitions to
the public.
IMMIGRANTs.
On Monday evening last a party of immi'
grants arrived at this place, consisting of a
man and wife and four children, and one man
whose family is in Europe. They did not
come under the auspices Of any agency or 80
ciety, but Oh their own responsibility and we
are pleased to be able to announce that the
next day after their arrival they made salts
factory arrangements for remaining-the man
with his family securing house in which to
live, and the other being employed by Mr.
Herndon at twelve dollars per month. These
immigrants are from the western part of Aus
tria, are farmers by profession, and those liv'
ing here who speak their language represent
them as being intelligent people, fully conver-
SAINT with the duties of farm life. This is the
first arrival of immigrants at this place, and
we hope they may be so we'll pleased with
their new home as to induce more of their
countrymen to come and settle among us.
PERSONAL.
We were pleased to receive visit, on Fri
day morning last from Mr.. VIM. Ladder, so
long and favoraby known as one of the pro-
pretors Of the Charleston Courier. Mr. Laid
Ter is travelling in this section on business con-
nected with closing the affairs Of that paper.
Mr.. Charles B. Grist, brother of the pro-
pretor of the ENQUIRER, paid his old home
flying visit last Friday evening, after an
absence of near fourteen years, during which
time he has rambled all over the United
States and the greater part of Europe and
South America. Though so long absent from
his native home, he has not been unmindful
of old friends and early associations, having,
in the interval, communicated many interest
ing letters to these columns. He is now en-
gagged as the advance agent of the San Fran
cisco Minstrel Troupe, and on Monday morn.
ing departed for Savannah, Georgia, his en-
gagements not permitting longer stay.
Among the pleasant incidents of his brief
visit, aside from the reunion with kindred
and friends, he was the recipient of a serenade
on Saturday night by a number of select per-
formers, led by the Incompatible Withers,
which compliment was highly appreciated.
