stead exemption Of personal proper
t., and WAS an action brought against
tie Defendants for selling under an
agricultural lien, a horse and mule OF
the plaintiff, which he claimed as e%-
empted under tho constitution and
Laws oc the State. For the Defendants
it was urged that the exemption pro-
vided by law, applied only to process
mesne or final issuing from the Courts,
and that where the lien, as in this
case, vested the Defendants with full
power to seize and sell without the
intervention of legal process, it was
a conditional sale made absolute by
the breach Of the condition, and that
the Homestead exemption could not
apply. The Court thought different
ly and so ruled, holding that no stip-
ulation Of the sort, could make the
NOR tgage anything moro than lien,
tho property remaining in the mort
gagor and subject to claim OF home
stead. AS however, there was evil
dcnco to show that the plaintiff re-
garded tho property as defendants,
and had repeatedly recognized their
right to seize and sell it, his Honor
held, that tho claim for exemption
could not apply, and hence instructed
the Jury to find for the defendants.
Mr.. Noble appeared for the plaintiff
and Mr.. Cotaran for tho defendants.
We would like to see the law def

RErURNED.-Our young friend and
townsman, Joel S. Perrin, Esq, re-
turned few days since from visit to
Northern Missouri, and he expresses
himself as better satisfied than ever
with Abbcville, not only as more
desirable home, but as furnishing bet
tor inducements to the farmer than
most sections Of the West. Farming
here yields heavier profit, better
percentage to tho acre. Grazing in
Northern Missouri is more profitable
than farming. AS specimen of the
severity of tho climate, he states that
there were seven inches ofsnow on tho
ground on Easter day. Tho people,
too, seem to have become demoraIizcd
by the prevailing "isms," spiritualism,
etc. Be advises his friends to be con.
tent, and in this proposes to sot thom
an example.

SUDDEN AND SAD BEREAvEMENT.-

SUDDEN AND SAD BEREAVEMENT
Death, at all time afllictivc in it's visi-
tationS, is doubly SO when it enters
the charmed circle OF domestic love,
and without a note Of preparation
bears off the dearest of its earthly
treasures, This truth has been sadly
realized in the recent sudden death Of
Mrs. Mary Euuico Harrison, the wife
of Col. +. Z. Harrison, Of Anderson,
and the oldest daughter Of our towns
man, the Hon. t. c. Perrin, who died
at the family residence at Anderson
vile, on Thursday, the Esd instant.
One Of the lovclivst and most amiablc
Of her sex has been suddenl y taken
away, and an afflicted household and
o large circle Of relatives and friends
bewail their sad and unexpected. be-
rcavcment. The deceased was born
in Abbcvillo in May, 1882, and in May,
1862, was married to Col. Harrison.
With bright, expressive face, frank
and cordial manners, serene temper
and affectionate disposition, she was
fitted to adorn any relation in life,
and as the daughter, tho wife and
the mother, she was respected, loved
and idolized. Long a member of the
Presbyterian church, she adorned her
profession by an earnest and con-
sistcnt life. Taken away in the full
bloom of her matronly beauty, she
leaves five small children to mourn
the loss Of q mothers love. The fu-
neral services were conducted at the
family burying ground at Anderson
vile, by the Rev. J. S. Young, and

CLARKE Us. swEARENGEN

| CLARhE vs.. SW EARENuES
involved the liability of tho defendant,
who owned u boat on the Savannah
River, and had contracted to carry
the plaintiffs cotton to Augusta, for
the loss Of the cotton whilst lying on
the bank Of the river, caused by Il
sudden freshet. On tho part Of the
plaintiff there was evidence OF spe-
cial contract to carry the cotton by a
certain time, and it was urged that
his failure TO do so imposed upon him
all the responsibilities Of a common
carrier. For the defendant IT WAS
contended that his liability accrued
only after tho receipt Of the cotton,
and there was much testimony to
prove that by the custom of the river
the owner Of the produce was required
to guard it uutil it's shipment, and
that the liability Of the boatman ac
crued only after that time. There
was much evidence to show the pre-
carious nature of tho business and the
uncertainty of fixing any time Of ship
mcnt in certain stages Of the water.
and the Court particularly called at
tcntion to the fact that fcw owners of
boats perhaps owned landings on the
river, and that it would be nanifestly
unjust to hold them liable for produce
before it was received on board Of
their boats. In this respect they
stood on q very different footing from
railroads. In this case the defendant
received no extra compensation, and
there was no reason that he should
assume any unusual risk. The case
was ably conducted by Mr.. Burt for
the plaintiff, and Gen. MCGOWAN for
the defendant, and after u trial Of
some length, the jury brought in a
verdict for the defendant.
Another case Of interest tried dur
ing the term was that Of
KNOX AND cUNNINGHAM VS.. ROGER L.
WILL1AMs,>
which was an action brought against
the defendant to recover against him,
as the purchaser Of the corner lot upon
which KnoX's store now stands, and
which was sold at public outcry, the
loss in price which resulted from
resale of the same property, from the
failure of the defendant to comply
with the terms of the former sale.
The lot, when first sold, was bid off
ut $3.50, and at the second sale
brought only some s2,100, and the
suit was brought to recover this differ
enco. For the defendant it was urged
that there was not+a sufficient memo
randum made by the auctioneer to
satisfy the requirements of the fourth
Section of the Statute Of Frauds
that the entry in the memorandum
book did not even contain the defend-
ants name, and that the book should
have been produced--that advantage
was taken Of the defendants condi-
ton, be being then much intoxicated,
by one Of the plaintitfs-and that,
above all, there was no loss to the
real plaintiff in the action, as he be-
came the purchaser at the second
sale and obtained the advantage Of
Of the reduced price. For the plain
Tiff it was urged, i'll reply, that the
Statute of Frauds did not apply to sales
ut auction-that, in any event, the
memorandum was sufficient, that there
lad been serious injury to plaintiffs
interests, and that defendant should
be held up " his contract that if bel
