MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.

Our young friend, K NJ. Mckay, Esq,
is engaged in good work. We do refer
not to his success as young lawyer, nor
his popularity with the young ladies'
we allude to his cabinet of Indian relics,
etc. DIR. Spencer Hill recently sent him
about the largest Indian arrow point
We ever saw; it is six or eight inches
long. Mr.. Mckay has one sOsmall that
it must have been made for a boy.
Major James T. Moore, who has been
sick for six months, and expected to
die, came to town last Friday morning,
in charge of negro woman, Ann Sow
ell, charged with the murder of her in
faDt. The murder took place on the old
Embry place. The child was white,
and she was engaged to be married to a
negro man on Flat Creek, and killed
would not marry her if he saw it. Esq
Ellington held an inquest on the child,
and had her arrested.
We are rejOiced to hear OF the good
prospects of our friends i'll Columbia.
We wish those who have the means
need help, and who are doing all they
can to help themselves. We are obliged
TO DIR. Smith for an invitation to he pres
ent at the dedication of the church, the
cornerstone of which they have just
laid. May the head stone be brought
forth with shOutings! Christian AdUO-

a crop. He has already loaned out ten
Thousand dollars at six per cent, and on

James Andrews, Of Columbia, made a
| trip to this city last Saturday night. 1t
was not an unusual thing, perhaps, but
| it turned out that it was an unusual ele-
ment in it, after all. 1t was the night
train, and Mr. Andrews formed the
happy idea of dreaming the happy hours
| away that interviewed before his arrival
at Nashville. So far we'll enough, but he
took too much of Hag, The train
stopped at the Louisville depot, and
Andrews, only half awake, heard an in
Quiry as to whether he had got of the
, train, 70 which the brakeman replied
! that he thought 10 had got oil. Being
asleep when the train passed the Chat
tanOOga depot, he supposed he was at
that point, and concluded to ride around
4 to the Louisville depot before getting of
| the tain. Falling asleep again, howev-
/ er, he only awo4ae when the conductor
called "Edgetield Junction." 1t was
Sunday morning, and as there was no
1 down train, Mr.. Andrews shsrpened his
appetite by little stroll down toward
Nashville, getting here in time for Sun
| ay-school.-BdItpcr.
