AN OLD NU1sANcE.-Complaints
are again being made to us by many
Of our Subscribers that their papers
fail to reach them. This is not our
fault. The mailing of tho papers is
in the hands of n tlusty and cxpe
rienced person, and we aro quite
sure that MI the papers leave our
Office just as they should. The post,
master at Winhsboro, Mr.. T. D.
Oxner, is one of the most careful
and efficient in the state, and we
feel sure that no blame can attach
to him or nhy one in his employ.
The true solution is that persons
still do what we have been more
than once called or to condemn
they tako other peoples papers
FROM the Office without suthority.
This evi. is hard TO Check, because il
is difficult 10 detect the guilt; par
ties. We trust however, that BY
the exercise Of Increased care and
vigilance on the paft of the pcet-
master and others Interested, the
trouble will be stopped.

How shall we spend our Winter Evenings!

EDS. HERALD.-The answer to the above
question involves more present enjoy
ment and future usefulness than will APP
pear at first sight to the casual observer.
In the country, especially, there is felt
great need for the intellectual employ
ments Of young men and old during our
long winter evenings, and l will venture
to suggest that in the absence of any new
programme, that citizens of all ages Or
ganize literary society in each school
district, at which essays on some subject
of interest be read, questions discussed;
and for those who may not wish, or are
too young to engage in the above eXercis-
es, let there be declarations or select
readings. The advantages to be secured
in this way will be apparent to all. But
allow me to suggest few: 1t will create
a necessity which will ripen into a taste
for reading and reflection, and an applica-
ton Of the facts and principles thus &C.
quired, and fastening them on the memo
ry for future usefulness. 1t will sec ure
training that will qualify our young men
and young ladies for society and pl aces of
usefulness and honor in after life. 1t will
prevent our older people from f alling into
a state of indifference with reg ard to the
many live questions of the day. The most
plausible objection that can be urged to
the programme suggested is that it is too
cumbersome. To this allow me to say
that it is net intended that all must be
carried out the same evening; but let the
participants be classed, and assign ed their
parts at stated times, thus giving greater
variety, besides allowing the several per-
formers ample time for full prep aration to
act their several parts. As to success /
have to say it can only be attained by all
engaging in the different exerci ses with a
to succeed, and success is
assured. 1t will require the older mem
bers of each community to aid and direct
as we'll as the weight of their influence to
preserve order and decorum at the meet
ings of such societies. will not Gu mher
your columns with greater detail; besides
the local surroundings can be better met
by each neighborhood for themsel yes.
Are there not those interested who will
take the initiative in each SHOOT district
or neighborhood to inargurate this or some
other enterprise that will attain the same
end, in each township in the county.

HOME MARKETS.
THE MARKETS.

CHICAGO, Dee. II.
The Tribune market report says.
CATTLE-Received during Sunday and
Monday, 2,200 head News from the east
continued unfavorable, and shippers did
not seem to want any but choice cattle,
and few of those. Total of the days sales
did not much exceed 200 head. There
was sale of Christmas beeves at $3.50,
and few fair to choice steers were taken
at 81 00@4 20, but the ruling figures were
30 60,o3 % for butchers stuff and stock
steers. The market closed dull.
HOGS-Trade in this branch of the
market was quiet, with prices weak, UNI
settled, and irregularly lower. The sup
ply was not in excess of the number look
ed for (about 81 900 head arrived during
Sunday and Monday, but buyers for some
reason were on the bear" side and prices
dragged at 6@10c decline from Saturdays
quotations. Good to choice heavy weights
were barely &c ''oG" while common coarse
heavy lots and bacon grades averaged
fully 10c lower. The quantity was not
nearly as good as for last week, the pro-
portion OF light weights and coarse UNI
even lots being much more prominent.
Sales were noted at So 40@5 55 for poor
to prime light, and at So 65@6 10 for poor
to choice packing hogs. Shippers paid
81. 9O@6 10 for good to extra heavy.

SHOOTING AFFRAY.-Las Tuesday even

to go to Rose Hill and arrest John Good
enough for shooting one Ed. Smith. all of
the vicinity of Rose Hill. The row took
place in saloon at that town, Good

recollection of anything that transpired.
In conversation this morning he said
there had never been any feeling between
him and Smith, and he thought the deed
must have been done while frenzied with
drink. When the Sheriff arrived there he
found Goodenough lying on bed dead
drunk. Smith was shot in the breast, and
when the Sheriff left. one report said he
was only slightly wounded, while another
said he was MORALLY wounded, and would
die. The prisoner was taken before JUS

MARION CoUNTY.-The Journal says:
Howard, a ten-year-old son of Mrs. Ball,
in the south part of town, was seriously
hurt last Sunday by falling on a broken
chair. A small pointed upright piece was
all there was left of the back of the old
style wooden chair. The boy fell upon
this in such way that it penetrated his
abdomen e distance of two or three inches,
but did not enter the cavity. Rev. Orig
Ter and Fred Gilby, of this place, were oat
shooting rabbits the other day. The par
son fired at rabbit and shot Fred, who
was out of sight beyond thicket. One
small shot lodged in Fred's forehead, and
several passed through his hat. The
wound in the forehead is not very serious.
