1t was a great many years ago that the
story was first told of Miss Hannah Ann
Sterry, an uncommonly mature virgin
who had never been prosecuted with
masculine attentions because of the Wig
orous manner in which she summed the
face of man. 1t was related that bIr.
Theophilus Wimblebee, an advanced
bachelor OF the mildest possible deport-
ment, occupying single quarters in the
neighborhood Of Hannah AIMS apart
mcnts, called on the spinster one after
nocG to borrow a match. Hannah Ann
was not easily fooled. Folding her arms
on her level breast, she backed Theophi-
lus Wlmblebee into a corner, and thus
addressed the invader: Match! Oh yes
Great match tits you want! You don't
want no match, and you know you don't -
You've come over to me- cause Pm all
alone-to hug and kiss me-that's what
you've come for: but you never shall do
1t IL the world unless you're stronger'n
am'-and then she added in softened
tone, land the Lord knows you are." A
friend of Hannah AIMS reading letter
from public MAJ the other day in
which the writer said, To recapitulate,
am not, nor have ever been, u candi

cept nomination il it were rendered,
unless it should come under such circum-
stances as to make it an Imperative duty,

down the paper with sigh and remark
ed, "Ah,-how much that reminds me
OF poor dear Hannah Ann" N. Y Iri-

duties OF justice of the peace in other
States. Yet previous Governors had
appointed and commissioned over two
hundred men to the important duties of
this Office who could not write or read n
word of the English language. 1t was
a farce and a fraud; for how can men
thus ignorant intelligently try causes,
civil and criminal, brought before them.

be rewarded for political service by Civ

ed. For the first time in their official
lives they had to go home without
having made anything but their sal
aries, and little minor picking.
L was determined they should not
have an opportunity to make dollar if
could help it. A very large number of
the members of the South Carolina Leois-
lature came to the capital for the purpose
OF selling their votes and making all
they can out of the office, and that they

turn their backs upon him for it, and
refuse to sustain him, so much the worse
for the party. They will hardly beal
to do it, They know his honesty of per.

succeed in inaugurating reform, the
greater will be their condemnation.

There was murder committed at I! p IN.
Saturday night, at Miller's Store. nine miles
from this city,on the Dallas road. 1t seems
that party of men were out fox hunting on
White Rock, Saturday night, George
Thomas and Bin Lonely alias
]. W. Patterson, had a quarrel, and
Thomas and Rushing had fist fight.
Thomas left the party going in the direction
of Miller's Store. lie was followed by Pat
tersOn, Rushing and Dickens. Soon the
firing was heard by the other members Of
the hunt. Patterson came back to the party
and stated that he had killed Thomas. AZ
ter the firing, Miller went out and found
Thomas dead at his door, with three shots,
one In the hip, one in the breast, and one
somewhere else. Patterson is still at large,
but Rushing and Dickens are In custody
though it is not thought they are criminal
ly guilty. 1t is with pain that we record
another murder In our county. 1t is time
some severe examples should be made, and
the practice OF resortiug to the pistol on
every trivial occasion, should be discoun-
tenanced and discouraged by every posi-
BILE mode.
