The movement. of peo pie from the North and
West into our Peninsula, though not 30 extern
sve as in fopmer years. is still maintained. In
the report of recent real-esta sales, published
in Wednesdays COMMERCIAL, we observe that
three purchasers OF farms in Dorchester county
are from other States -one from Wisconsin, one
from Illinois, and one from New York. If far
mers from the North and Northwest, who
come here, will buy wisely, and reserve enough
working capital to keep them ont of need of
borrowing for year or two, they will TO well
Many have made the mistake of buying too
much land, and having no reserve left.
statement of fact in brief item which We
published yesterday, concerning some recent
fatal and very severe cases of small -pox, occur
ring in this city, ought not to pass without re-
mark. The important fact was that in none OF
these had the persons attacked been yaccinated !
1t il reasonable to presume that if they had
been, their disease, instead of being small -poX
of the most vrnlent type, would have been va
riolod and the result, instead of hastened
death, under most distressing circumstances,
would have been an early recovery. The neg
lect of vaccination for children, after the light
OF experience, seems inexcusable
Rhode Island does not show much reaction
against the Republican party. Its Republican

received but 5,l69. The majority. therefore, il

been provided for HI dson Bay expedition?
Wonder If he made the tour OF those hyper
borean regions, while on his visit to the

On a late visit to Maury we met Misses
Mildred Ezell and Mollie Mcbride, who We're

was captivating all, both old and young,
with the charming strains of melodiOuS

PERHAPS it may not be known to all your
readers that the Brick Church is made of
wood, but il is true. The old brick building,
consecrated and hallOwed by sacred associa-
tiOns for nearly half a century, was pulled
down few years ago, and a new frame
structure, at a cost of about 49, 500, erected.
1t is said that Rev. VIM. Stoddert contribu-

the spiritual interests of the church now.

CAMPBELL sTATION ITEMS.

Dock Nichol and George Robbins. two
notorious gentlemen of color, broke into a
the first of this month. They were arrested,
and while the officer was on his way to the
Justice of the Peace's office, the prisoners
made their escape. On the night ofthe 18th
inst, these two characters came to the wild
ow Henderson, three miles southeast OF
here. billiard Henderson was at his moth
er'S the same night; next morning Mr.. Hen
derson's mare and Dock Nichol were gone.
Learning that Robbins was in the negro cab
in he concluded to arrest him. He took his
stand at the door, while his brother-in-law
went for a shot gun; in the meantime the
darkey went up into the loft and out at the
roof on the opposite side and made his es-
cape. From the best information that could
be had, these two negroes were going to the
old McklSS1ck farm, near Spring Hill. 1t
would be well for the farmers in that COM
munity to keep look out for them. MIR.
Henderson's mare was found at Esquire
Henry Harris where il is supposed that the
negro turned her lose after riding that far.
Mr.. John Ingram, one of the Oldest men in
this part of the country-being u years of
age, is in very helpless condition. He has
been confined to his bed for eighteen months,
from the effect of paralysis in the left side.
Died in this village at the residence of John
W. Taylor's, on the morning of the 18th inst,
Mrs. Featherston, of consumption. Mr.. Tay-
lOr's family has been very much afflicted.
He himself had the fever-gOt well, then re-
lapsed. His wife has a rising on her right
hand, which has disabled her for some time.
n. q. Quinn, William Montgomery and
Thomas Richardson, with their families, ali
started Tor Texas on the I'D inst, where they
design making their future home. They
went by rail.
Thomas Craig has rented Mrs. james Smi-
ser's farm for the year 1876.
The public schools in this District will be
out this week. 1t seems like we are not to
have any public schools another year. This is
to be regretted. There are great many good
men in the country who oppose public
schools, and want them done away entirely.
The influence of this class of men cripple
the schools system to a great extent. We
have always had public schools in this coun-
try, and if we are to judge the future by the
past we will always have them. This being
so, IL is the best policy for the country 10 have
the best they can get. We can never have
good schools with the present amount of
money devoted TO that purpose. If we get a
good article we will have TO pay good price
for il.
The worst distressed man that has been in
our village for some time was fox hunter. |
He happened at the station just as the South !
bound train came along, one of his fsworite |
'purps" took fright and put in right ahead |
Dfthe train; he made better time than if |
there had been an oyster can with shot in il |
attached to his rear. That dog has not been |
seen since. The last that was seen of the |
hunter he was going i'll the direction of the |
rain; occasionally he would stop and whis-
lie for his "purp."
