A MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR.

A YOUNG LADY FOUND BEAD NEAR
HRR MOTHERS HoUsE.-No SIGNS.
On sunuay last young young lady by
the name of Mary E. Davis, living with
Leonard J. Timmons, in Pittsville, Wico-
mico county, left his house on a visit to
her mother, Mrs. Phoebe Davis, about two
miles distant, and after having pleasant
chat, started back home Her brother on
going home to his mothers about sunset,
found her lying dead only about three
hundred yards from the house. He i'm.
mediately sought the assistance of some
neigh bors and had her body conveyed to
the house. This information having
reached Justice J, J. Fooks, on Monday
he summoned jury of inquest, which
found no marks of violence upon her per-
son and rendered verdict that the de-
ceased came to her death from some cause
or causes unknown to the jury. This is
certainly a mysterious circumstance as the
deceased with the exception Of slight
chill which she had day or two before,
was apparently in good health. Eastern

HARKINS SENATE:

There are many who still remember
with pleasure, the sociabls given by the
Harkins Senate during last season, and
still refer 10 it as one Of the mort pleasur-
able affairs of the Ball Season, AID we
know that the mere announcement of the
fact, that the young Senators are arranging
another of their popular sociables, is guar
anteeing an evening of rare pleasure to all
who may attend.
NJ The evening of the goth Of January
has been set apart by these young gentle
men, as the ones, upon which they propose
to meet their many friends, and while
away the hours in tripping the light fan
tastic. No pains are being spared to make
the occasion pleasant one, and the young
men composing the Hartford Senate, are
even now strenuously preparing for this
event, and we may safely venture the as.
sertion that those who attend this Ball on
the 29th Of sfJanuary will at least spend one
evening untroubled by the cares Of life.

lows:-
The many stories regarding the condi-
ton of Wade Hampton's health have cul,
minated in despatch received by General
M. G. Butler to-day, to the effect that the
recently y>elected Governor of South Caro-,
lima is in such condition that it will be
absolutely necessary, in order to save hia
life, to amputate bis leg. The OF Grafton,
it is stated, will be performed during the
present week, and it is generally under
atnod that at about the same time Cover
nor Hampton, in spite Of Mark Gary's op.
position, will be elected to the United
y ates Senate. During the campaign just
passed he declared that he would, under
no circumstances, be a candidate for the
position named, believing that he could
be more useful to ''his people" in the
G ,vernor's chair. 1t is not claimed by
his friends, however, that the duties of the
Executive office will prove too much fol
his decreased strength, and that, in view
Of his valuable services, the State owe.
