That birds, however apparently safely.
hung In cages, are unsafe from the skill
and cunning Of the cat, may be gathered
from many instances Of the extraordinary
leaps they are capable Of making TO attain
their prey. We are told by reliable
authority that when his cat was year
old he was seen several days insuccession
10 take his position on q showcase, four
feet high, licking his chops, while watch
ing a canary In a cage suspended from
the ceiling eight feet from the case. The
ceiling was eleven feet high from the floor
and the cage an ordinary cylindrical one.
While thus observing the cat and thinking
how remote was his chance OF plumber,
the animal suddenly sprang at the cage
and caught his claws in II. His weight
swung the cage up against the ceiling,
splitting seed and water and terrifying the
canary. After swinging 10 and fro for
several times the cat dropped TO the floor
uninurcd. Our informant measured the
distance from the top OF the cage and
found il TO be ten feet; 50 that The cat
made an ascent Of six feet in eight, or up
on an incline Of nearly thirty five degrees.
The surprise here ID that the bird escaped
for il is during its terror and while beat
Ing itself from side to side OF the cage
that the hooked claws Of the cat are pre-
pared To receive II and ii any portion OF
the bird Is caught, it is rapidly pulled
through the wire, and the cat and bird
disappear before the spectator can recover

From Hemispheres two;

COTTON STEALING.

We learn that system OF cotton stealing Is
is being carried on at various points In the up
per portion Of our County, which threatens to
extend to other localities, thereby entailing
great injury upon the farmers Last week
bale Of cotton wasstolen from the gin of Messrs.
Williams & Guyton, and despite the strongest
efforts to find out the thieves, no clue has been
obtained as yet. This is not the only case OF
cotton stealing in that locality, various others
having been committed during last Fall. This
nefarious system Of stealing has been practiced
to great extent in the Counties Of Abbeville
and Edge6eld, where it seems regularly organ
lied bands or cliques have been formed to on
rich themselves by this mode Of plundering
Heretofore, cotton thefts were almost unknown
in our law-abiding County, and farmers rested
secure, leaving their cotton at the gins or in
sheds some distance from their homes but
now 1t is the duty Of every farmer to remove
his cotton to some safe place as soon as it Is
ginned and packed, and thus leave no opportu-
nifty for thieves to obtain possession Of it. The
various officers Of the law throughout the
County should be constantly on the alert, and
whenever cotton il missing, use every means
! In their power to ferret out the thieves and
bring them to justice.

MELO-DRAMATIC CORPS.

This interesting Corps has, by the request Of
the citizens of our town, consented to give an
other of their admirable entertainments in Ma
sonic Hall on Friday evening, 29th inst, con-
sisting of the following lively and amusing
plays: "Dead Shot," 'rhe Loan of Lover" "
and the laughable farce 'Slasher and Crasher."
Music has already been obtained, consisting of
first class string band, and the entertainment
promises to be ono of unusual interest. 1t is
with pleasure that we announce the re-appear-
anco of this much-appreciatodc corps, who, only
few weeks ago, delighted every one present
with their interesting performances, and won
for themselves a reputation equal to that of the
well-remembered Bailey's Varieties. The per-
formances will commence precisely at II
clock. Tickets can be procured at either of
the drug stores.

legislative Notes.

sd Senator Dunn has introduced a.concurrent
resolution that the General Assembly adjourn
nine dc on the 18th. Of February next. Inns
proposition is not likely to carry, however.
The House Of Representatives has passed .
hin to secure an enumeration Of the inhabi'
, t.nts of this State, which provides that tne
: Governor shall appoint four census takers fof
each County, te1cept Charleston, where eight
shall bs appointed,) and one person In each
: County to superintend the work. The pay ior
sh;. work is fixed at three cents for each in'
hsbitant registered, and will cost the state
about s22, 900.
~ In the Senate, on Friday last, bill to repeal
so mrruch Of the General Statutes az relates TO
liens. on crops Was reported upon favoFao'y oy
the committee on the judiciary, with recon-
meudstiou that the bill do pass, to take effect
ON the soth Of December, 1876. The bill SUBJ
seauently passed the Senate, and was read the
. trst time in the House on Monday last We
.undsstapa there is much opposition to the
: Mem law among the members from the middle
: and low country, and it is not improbable that
, the law will be repesled.
On Monday, the House considered the bill
introduced by Paris Simkins, of Edgeheld, to
I provide for the protection of certain laborers
in the County of Edgefeld, lately employed on
farms in said County. and who have been dis
charged from such employment because of
having exercised their political rights and
vpriyilegcs. The bill proposes to levy special
.fsx Of two mills on the dollar in that County,
and out Of the proceeds to pay each one over
is ts years Of age at the rate of S6 per month,
and under Is years at the nate OF S. per MONTH
Thi, allowance is to continue until such per-
son, have secured homes and employment
simkins advocated the bill in lengthy speech,
and was opposed by Myers, of Beaufort, and
Barker. of Edgefeld. The latter declared the
main features Of the bill as unusual and op-

The Cotton Tax.

The refunding of the cotton tax, which was
referred at the commencement of the session
to the committee on ways and means of the
House of Representatives, has been con6ded
to subcommittee which consists of Nessrs.
Fernando Wood, of New York, Sheldon, of
Louisiana, and Mason, of Iowa. 1t is under
stood that Mr.. Wood will have charge of the
subject, and the committee will shortly report
bill for refunding the tax. 1t is extremely
doubtful, however, whether the present Con-
gress will pass such bill, or any other measure
for the exclusive benefit of the South. The
strong partisan feeling excited by recent events
will overshadow measures of justice, and furth-
er delay the return of this money to its rightful
owners
