Budd, after the closeof the performance, be-
came involved in a quarrel with colored
man, and gave vent to his Indignation by
planting sling shot upon the head of his
opponent. In the collision of these hard
substances the head was considerably worst
ed. On the following day the negro stated
his grievances to Trial Justice Gourdin, who
Immediately issued a warrant for the arrest
of Owens. The latter appeared before the
officer of the law, and after preliminary ex-
animation gave straw bail to appear at an
other time for trial, which was accepted. He
was released and went on his way rejoicing.
Had he been required to give good bond,
he would probably have failed in the under
taking, and the consequence would have been
his imprisonment in Jail until the day of the
trial. Another consequence of the circus
was a collision between Fleming Gray and -
Wilson, both colored, which resulted in the
discontinue of the former. He brought ac-
tion for damages before Trial Justice Gour-
din, and the trial came off on Wednesday.
The feelings of the colored people were great
ly enlisted in the case, as they crowded the
Office of the Trial Justice during the time of
the trial. The defendant was required to pay
the costs of the suit and was discharged.
On Wednesday John Lilly and others, all
colored, brought suit before Trial Justice
Sanders to recover possession OF mortgage
given them by ex-Postmaster Richardson to
secure some money borrowed by him to make
good his account at the time of his late
trouble with the post office authorities, and
which, in some way, had got into possession
of the defendant. As the amount of money
in the case exceeded one hundred dollars, the
Justice decided that it was beyond his juris-
diction. If the matter is not settled by COM
promise, of which there is a probability, the
case will come up for trial at the next session
of the Circuit Court.
The marriage of fair daughter of Ches-
ter to gallant son of Winnsboro, on last
Wednesday evening, was accompanied by
considerable rejoicing and merry-making.
The ceremony was performed in the Presby-
terian Church, by Rev. A. F. Dickson, in &C
cordance with the solemn and impressive rite
of the Episcopal Church. The decorations
of the sacred edi6ce for the occasion were
beautiful, having been arranged with great
taste BY fair and skillful hands. Over the
pulpit upon the wall, encircled with q wreath
of evergreens, was the inscription, "Love one
another" There we're FIVE couples in attend
ance upon the happy pair who we're welded,
all of whom looked surprisingly beautiful,
and forming scene of loveliness that words
cannot adequately portray Charlotte, York
Vile, Winnsboro and Chester were represent
ed by the lady attendants, and Winnsboro
and Chester by the gentlemen, and it is prob
ably unnecessary to state that the representa-
tives reflected honor upon their respective
places. At the close of the ceremony large
number of invited guests repaired to the
home of the bride, where an elegant enter
tainment was given. In the enjoyment of
conversation did the evening pass delightful
ly away. The happy couple appeared un-
speakably happy in receiving the congratula-
tons of their many friends The supper
prepared for the guests was splendid, CON-
posed both of substantials aud sweets of the
most delightful character. Among the beau
tiful and attractive ladies present on the hap
py occasion, was one of Sumter's fair daugh-
ters, whose bright eyes and brighter intellect
made impressions upon the hearts Of the gen.
temen. On the following evening hand
some entertainment was given at the home of
friend of the bride, which was also greatly en-
joyed by those who were present. In addition
to the joys of conversation, the pleasures Of
promenading were INDUCED in to very en-.
joyable extent. The company remained un-
til late hour, when the young men, with fair
companions, having bade goodbye to their
host and hostess, wended their way homewards
The moon poured down soft and mellow
light upon the path Of the midnight revelers,
and the situation was delightful in the ex-
treme The writer of these lines can speak
with authority upon this point, as he had the
good fortune to be one of the participators in
the pleasures Of the evening. The contract
ing parties in the matrimonial alliance, which
has been so happily celebrated, were Mr.. H.
N. Obear, of Winnsboro, and Miss Eunice
Harris, of Chester They leaye to-day for
Winnsboro, where a round of festivities
doubtless awaits them.
President Haseltine was III our town on
Saturday. He finds the raising of money at
the present time to meet the obligations Of
the company to contractors an undertaking
of great difficulty second to that of SELL
ing the bonds Of the county issued in behalf
of the road of which he is the head. The
grading between this point aud Lancaster will
for the iron, and other equipments. 1t is to
be hoped that Mr.. Haseltine will succeed in
making such an arrangement as that these
: will be forthcoming in the course of short
time.
Notwithstanding Saturday was bright
and beautiful day, trade was not 50 lively as
our merchants would have liked. This was
probably due to the dullness in the cotton
market There we're several wagons loaded
with cotton in town, but none Of our princi-
pal buyers were disposed to touch it, which
was followed by decline in the price.
Mr.. w. Blake, of this place, has a nursery
garden, where the different kinds and varie.
ties of fruit trees can be obtained. Persons
who are thinking of planting fruit trees can
be accommodated at Mr.. Blake's garden with
the kind of trees they desire. He has thor
ough knowledge of flowers and trees, is an in.
dustrious and indefatigable worker, and de-
serves and needs all the patronage that can
be extended him. His conservatory and gar.
den are we'll worthy of an inspection from all
who have the leisure to bestow it.
Religious services we're held in the Presby
terian Church on Friday evening and on Sat-
urday morning and evening, preparatory to

Rev. G. T. Scaife, pastor of the Baptist
