A New Southern NnHal

One of the most faithful pictsres of southern
life that has been drawn of late years is "Thir-
ty-four years" by John Marchmont, recently
published in Philadelphia. The scene is laid
Ia South Carolina, near Spartanburg, and the
writer though employing the form Of fiction is
evidently harrating the actual events of his own
experience. Southern s-ciety in its various
phases before. during, and after the war. is do
picted by no unpraciecd hand and 6y one who
is acsrous of telling the truth without malice
or undue sectional feeling. Attempt & ne dis
suise Of his warm affection for his native State
and his deep sympathy for her manifold injuries
and suGcrings the author seems fully alive to
the better qualities of the Northern character
introduced into his novel, and loses no oppor-
tunity of dOin. justice to them. Thirty four
years will DO read with interest by every lover
Of truthful, unaffected narration, come from
what quarter he many Of this great country.
The Christmas scenes will awaken many ten
der recollectons Of n by-gone time Of mirth and
abundance, such as are not like TO see for

The No-FENcE LAW EEEDED.-The Columbia
correspondent of the Charleston Ne,s and Cou-
rter gives the following practical and forcible il
lustration of the imperative need of n no-fence
law. In connection with this ask per-
usal of the article on our first page, headed
Fence or No Fence" which will give the land
owners some wholesome instruction in regard to
their duty in the matter. Similar cases to the
following occur frequently in every county:
The necessity for the adoption of the new
fence law was made plainly apparent. by the re-
suits of O trial which took place in Columbia on
Friday. planter, a few miles below Columbia,
having been subjected for some time to the dep
redatisns of q number Of worthless hogs belong
ing to q family of negroes living near him, gave
warning that he would kill them if found again
in his fields. The warning was unheeded, and
the animals being again found in n corn field q
few days afterward, he ordered them shot, and
one of the hands in his employ accordingly shot
and killed four half grown porkers, not however,
until they had destroyed not less than fifty bush.
els of his finest new-ground corn. His fence
was in good condition and it was evident that
the herd had been deliberately turned into the
field for the sake of the pasturage it afforded
The owner of the hogs Ut once swore out war

shooting, and the next day trial justice in Co.
lumola nneu MN SlO for the offence, the costs
in the case amounting to nearly rs much more,
all of which the planter had to pay to keep hi.
agent out of Jail. Two other hogs were wounded
At the same time, and the next step in the affair
| will be the prosecution Of the planter on Thurs
day next for malicious mischief
The trial justice who heard the case is q we'll
known lawyer of Columbia, and presumably de-
cided the case in accordance with the strict let
| ter of the law His character for integrity pre-
cludes all other Inference, but what neverthe eless
are the results of his decision? AS the matter
stands they are nearly follows The planter
has suffered actual loss, amounting in the aggre.
gate to over 500. He has been compelled to pay q
fine of $40, and costs to the amount of about So
more. lie has lost much valuable time in the
attendance of himself and Of his hands at court
lie is now to be ubjected to further trial and
additional expense, which is likely to be consid-
erable in amount to defend himself against o
serious charge preferred by idle and irresponsi-
BILE negroes who were the real offenders in half
dozen instances, and whose loss, about six dol
lars at most, was the result of their own care
lessness or possible knavery. If all this is in
accordance with claw" such law, concocted
as it was BY negro Legislators, for the benefit OF
negro vagabonds, should be wiped from the Stat
ute Book. and one Of vastly different purport
be substituted in its stead. Instances like that
above mentioned are entirely too common.

nsa- On Tuesday last, about noon,- fire
broke out in the conservatory above the Model
room of the Patent Office building at Washing
ton, and in half an hour the entire upper por-
tion of the West Wing, froHting on Ninth street
was in flames. The finest collection of Models
IN the world was destroyed; many of them
dated back to the earliest days of the Patent
Office.
Chief Clerk Lockwood, of the Interior De-
partment, states that the fire originated from
spontaneous combustion among lot Of non
patented chemical material stored in the attic of
the Ninth street wing. The damage to the
building is variously estimated from $500 900
to 100000, while that resulting from the loss
OF models and other valuables connected with
