DEATH OF AN ESTEEMED LADY,

We arc panied to announce the
death of Mrs. j. Wardlaw Perrin,
at the family residence in the lower
part of the County, after a short
illness, on Thursday last. Death,
at all times sad, is irexpresslbly af-
flictive, when as in this case, it re-
moves from the circle of domestic
love and the sphere of active duty,
the dearest object Of affection, and
the stay of a large and dependent
household. The idolizcd wife and
the tender mother has been taken
away, when least expected, from a
bereaved husband and seven small
children; and a large circle of rel
atives and friends unite their sor-
rows with the afflicted family. Mrs.
p. was the daughter Of the late DR..
Livingstone, and beautiful in per
son, and lovely in temper and dis
position, she enjoyed the regard and
esteem of all who knew her. A
member of the Presbyterian church,
she exhibited in her life all the
Christian graces of the true be-
lever.
The funeral services were per-
formed in the Presbyterian church
here, and an interesting discourse
delivered in the presence of large
congregation, by the Rev. J. L.
Martin, on Saturday last, after
which the body was consigned to
the Upper Long Cane Cemetery.

THE CONTEMPT CASE. - It is said
that his Honor, Judge Mackey, at the
recent session of his court in Wins.
boro, admitted Mr.. Youmans to prac-
tice before him, despite the contempt
under which he had been ruled by
the Judge Of the fifth circuit. Judge
Mackcy said that he found MIR. YOU
mans on the rolls Of the court rs an
attorney aud would recognize him as
such. On the other hand, we under
stand that Judge Carpenter had re-
moved the rule 40 far as the courts OF
Aiken and Winnsboro is concerned.
Exactly how it is is uncertain at this
hour before going press, but it is Ger,
tain that Mr.. Youmans was heard by
the distinguished judge of tho sixth
circuit Union- -Herald.
The case is now pending on appeal
before the Supreme Court, and will be
heard on written argument. An early
decision is anticipated. The case ex-
cites much interest, as it affects the
professional standing and income OF
the most distinguished members of the
Columbia Bar.
Since writing the above We have
read an extract from an opinion OF
Judge M"ckcy, awarding to Mr. You.
mans full power to practice in the
Courts of the Sixth Circuit.

IMM1aRANTs-"THE CRY Is Still
THEY CoME.-During the past
week sixty-five immigrants, con-
sisting of Germans, Frenchmen.
Englishmen, Scotc b men and
Swedes, arrived in our town. For.
ty of them were consigned to Mr.
Leroy of Lowndesville and TWEEN
ty-tive to Mr.. Horton. There were
no women among them, and were
mostly young men, and were very
robust. They had been for some
time in the United States, working
in the shops, farms and mills OF
the North, and have been thrown
out of employment by the pressure
of the times. Mr.. LeRoy's squad
were sent to Lowndesvllle and the
others distributed in different sec.
tions. We trust that they may
all find congenial employment and
speak a good word for the country
to induce others to come. We
need all who may come.

fund raised to meet the expenses OF
another. Prosecutions should be
had on the bond Of every County

The Report Of the Attorney-Gen-
eral gives an interesting statement
of the important cases either pend
ing Or adjudicated, in which he has
been engaged during the past year,
and which involve the interests Of
the State to the amount Of hun
dreds of thousands of dollars.
Among these perhaps the most
important, are the followhg-the
"Revenue Bond Scrip case, III
which the mere money value
amounted to one million eight hun
dred thousand dollars, and in which
the issue of the script was pro-
nounced to be unconstitutional and
invalid-the great Bond Cuse OF
Morton, Bliss & Co., in which the
liability of the State to pay inter
est was affirmed by the Court-the
case against James NJ. Allen, Coun-
ty Treasurer of GreenvilIe, in which
the Defendants liability amounted
to between fifty and sixty thousand
dollars. The case of Shiver against

the liability of the State to receive

Bank of the State. The liability is
estimated at about one million Of
dollars.

which furnishes evidence of the

THE SIAMESE TWINS.

Opinions still differ as to the fact
whether there was a vital union be-
tween the twins, making q separation
necessarily fatal; and q number of
enAnent-Philadclphia anatomists have
gone to North CAROLINA to obtain q
pos: morlcm examination, and sutLle
The question definitely. A corrcspon-
dent of the Weoo York HeruM had an
Interview with an old friend Of the
family, and writes thus
"Mr. Armfcld,' l asked, "is it your
opinion that Eng died frou the shock
or fright occasioncd by his brothers &
death p
Mr. Armfeld-No sir, it is not. |
am as well satisfied that blood flowed
from one to the other through that
connecting ligamcnt as that the same
blood flows in my right and left arm
Correspondent Then you think it
was the death Of Chang that precipi
lated the death Of Eng?
Mr. Armfcld Yes. sir. After
Changs death the blood from Eng's
body flowed into his, but there being
no responsive vitality it could not flow
back, SO that Eng died from exhaust
ion and loss OF blood, and not from
any shock or fright Up to the time
of Eng's death the ligamcnt, which il
some eight inches in length, was warn
as far as where it entered Cbang''
body, which was cold at the time
The very nature of the ligament
which is four inches wide and as thicl
as my wrist, passing from the abdo
men of one to the other, and in the
centre of which is the one navel O
the twins, is proof positive that the
samv blood that flowed in the veins o.
one flowed also in those of the other
Correspondent - Why, then, does
the doctor persist in saying that il
was from shock or fright that Eng
died?
Mr.. Armfcld-I don't know; but
heard DR. Bill HoIIingsworth say
that he would rather have the bodie:
Of the dead twins than the whole o.
Surrey County.
Correspondent! What appearance
did the twins pl csent after death?
Mr.. Armfcld-Chang was nearly
black in the face and looked as if he
had died in q fit or in great agony
Eng looked as if he bad been asleep
Correspondent - DO you know
whether Eng made any expression ol
pain before he died?
Mr. Arm6cId- Yes. inquired par
ticularly about that, and found thai
he called repeatedly to those around
TO rub and pull his arms and legs. that
he was crampcd-a sure indication
of loss Of blood, or that the circula'
ton was impedcd rom some cause
and this confirms me in the opinion
that the death of Chang supcrinduced
that Of Eng.

BRILLIANT WEDDING.

;
The largest and most brilliant
wedding Of the season came off at
the Episcopal church last evening"
where there was bright array OF
invited guests to witness the nup-
-ials of Mr.. Harry Pinckney, of
Charleston, and Miss Fannie G..
Marshall, eldest daughter of our es-
teemed townsman, DR.. j. w. W.
Marshall. The evening was bright
and apspicious enough to usher in
"the bridal of the earth and sky"
and was wanting in. nothing which
could promise good omens to the
happy pair. The church was at
tired in it's festal robes to COM
memorate the occasion, and some
soul-inspiring music from the organ
sounded the note of welcome on
the entrance of. the bridal party.
Seven lady attendants, the fairest
flowers of this and adjoining coun-
ties, arraycd in snowy robes of
Aeecy texture, with the attending
gentlemen, proceeded the lovely
bride and groom. The following
are the names of the gentlemen
and ladies in attendance:- -
Mr.. R. E. Brown, Miss Jennie
Marshall. :.
Mr. George White, Miss Mamie
Marshall.
Mr.. E. B. Hume, Miss Parker.
Mr.. C. G. Hume, Miss Calhoun.
Mr.. Jas. Norwood, Miss Smith.
Mr.. O. T. Calhoun, Miss Ida
Marshall.
Mr.. Dickinson, Miss Willie Nor
wood.
Then followed the impressive
marriage service of the Episcopal
church, which was performed by
the Rector, Rev. E. R. Miles, in
which the responses were distinctly
made by these young hearts, who
pledged a lifelong devotion, "for
better for worse, for richer for
poorer"
The invited guests then adjourn
ed to the family mansion, where
DR.. and Mrs. Marshall dispensed
elegant hospitality, and where the
happy couple received the congrat-
ulatious Of their friends. A sumpt-
uous repast, and all the surround
ings of pleasant company and ge-
nial good fellowship, made up the
pleasures of the evening, and with
many we'll wishes for the happiness
of the youthful pair, the company
separated at late hour.
The bridal party art to leave BY
this mornings traiu for Charleston.

Spronse Of our County exhibited
on Monday to us the model Of an
cngcniously constructed cotton
thinner, which he has sent on to
Washington tor the purpose of get
ting patent. 1t consists of a ro'
tary wheel, revolving between a
plough on each side, and with cups
which protect the cotton to be left
standing from being covered up by
the ploughs. 1t is simple aud Ia
bor-saving. One hand and mule
with one of these thinuers will be
able to thin out six acres per day
Our planters will hear of it again

SALE DAY.-Monday was one OF
the most inclement days of the

crowd in attendance was small.
Only urgent business could bring a

There was no real estate sold, and
only small amount of personally.
A mule, the property of W. S.
Malone, sold under execution,
brought 800; another, the property
of Wilson Billy, brought $112; a
lot of cotton seed, the property of
B. F. Day, sold for from S to Z
cents per bushel, and corn for $l.O5
per bushei.

POSTAGE ON COUNTY PApERs.-1t
seems probable that Congress, in
accordance with the recommends
ton of the Postmaster General,
will change the law which prohibits
the free circulation of weekly pa
pers in the counties where publish
ed. The reasons given, are, that
being evenly distributed over short
lines, they do not obstruct the
mails, and that the postrge UPON
them whilst yielding only trifing
revenue to the Government, impo-
ses heavy tax upon the proprie-
tors, and thus obstructs the dissem-
ination Of local intelligence. The
late act seems to have been hastily
drawn, and will doubtless be amend
ed.
