A Richmond (va.) special says: Rich

ment sensations. Formerly couples in
high life were welded with great eclat,
but nowadays dashing belle gives her
heart to some gay but impecunious beax
to whom the old folks object, and the
happy pair take train for Weldon, N.
c., the Gretna Green of the South, and
are joined together by an hymenial
magistrate 81, and no cards. OF
Is Richmond couples of the best society
married this season, 10 have eloped.
The latest sensation of the kind hap
pened last night, when Miss Mamie
Freeland, a beautiful belle, II years of
age, ran off with Jas. Fox, an attache of
the Richmond and Danville Railroad.
Miss Reeland is the daughter of a de-
ceased millionaire, and Mr.. Fox is poor
but handsome. The BRIDES mother was
heartbroken this morning when she
learned the news, and gave vent to her
feelings by rushing to the street Frank

and crying: sob, my daughter -

affianced to a wealthy banker of Louis

A Startling Discovery.

There is great excitement at Alexan-
der. Last week two young men who
were out hunting had occasion to go in
to piece of woods belonging to Mr..
Gardner, about mile north of Alexan-
der. They descended into gulch through
which runs small stream of water for
the purpose of getting a drink. While
kneeling down drinking from the
stream one of them discovered a hole in
the bank, which on investigation was
found to communicate with cave about
20 feet square. The cave was i1closed
with wall of cut stone, and in the cave
was the corpse of q woman about %
years of age. She had chain fastened
to the right leg, which was attached to
an iron ring in the wall, and fastened
with heavy brass paddock taken from
q New York Central Railroad car. In
the cave were found some packages of
clothing, books, cigars.and II oyster
cans. A shelf held q lot of bottles and
tumblers and broken kerosene lamp.
The matter is being investigated by the
Coroner, and the result viii soon be an
nounced.E The Inhabitants near by are
greatly excited, and talk oflynch law to
the person who chained q woman in
such shape, and doubtless caused her
death by acknowledgements N. ~

A Farmer Who Loves to Fish.

In tne Town OF Cnlll there is an elderly
farmer who is passienateiy fond of sport
especially fishing and hunting and
he has a son who is a chip of the old
block in that as well as in other re-
spects.
One day last summer the old gentle
man left home, but before going he set
his boy at a job he was anxious to have
done. Returning sooner than he ex-
pected, he found that the boy was miss
ing. 10. Sea.
"Where's Tom?" he growIed as he
entered the kitchen-door.
Gone fishing" said the girl. JAR
g Fishing! the rascal; I'll fish him
when I catch him. .--.-..
And away the angry old fellow went
for the brook. Coming within hailing
distance of his hopeful son, who was
bending eagerly over the stream, the
father yelled: -
"Tom! you rascal, Toni" tla
There was deprecating movement
of one hand on the part of the boy,
who did not, however, turn his head.
Still more angry the avenging parent
came nearer and bawled out 10
"I'l learn you to stay home and work
when-n - fa5i
I" Sh! sh! sh! father,'' said young
lzaak Walton, /" I've got q bite. -
The old fellows passion perceptibly
cooled at that announcement, and,
lucky for the boy, the latter Just
then hauled up q handsome perch. This
was too much for dad, who sprang for
ward and helped unlock the fish, and
then
Tom, have you got another hooks"

AT one of the Moody and Sankey
meetings in Hartford, Conn, last week,
two young men were visibly affected,
and before the conclusion of the services,
announced that they had become con-
vinced of the error of their ways. Their
apparent sincerity attracted favorable
attention, and a contribution was about
to be taken up for their benefit, when
Mr.. Shorey, the reformed drunkard, rec
ognized them as fellows who had been
followers of Moody and Sankey in all
parts of the country. They were pro-
fessional Migrants, and had adapted
this way of getting a living. 1t is pleas
ing to relate that they spent the re-
mainder of the evening at the police
station, and that the good work is still
going on in Hartford. azrar
THE freak Of crazy woman at Battle
Greek, Mich, the other day came near
causing the death of . little colored girl.
The woman, who had got notion that
the Ethiopian could change his skin,
after all, en.iced the girl into her house,
told her she was going to make her
white, and, taking off the girls clothes,
began to scour her with strong I've from
head to foot. The victims screams
soon attracted assistance, but not before
her skin was almost all taken off. She
is now slowly recovering, but at the ex-
pense of terrible suffering.

The Columbia Register.

We would have noticed what the
Columbia Register said about us last
week had space permitted, but aa our
columns were filed with other matter
considered more important, we defer
red our reply to this Issue, Any
siurs Or inuendoes hurled at us by
that journal we propose to pass by
and briefly state facts in justification
of what we said in our first article
The Reg!stec. in the first place, pub
lished, with flaming head letters, the
telegram sent to Mr.. Brayton, about
the Ladd murder, by tho men who
did tho killing, or by their friends and
sympathizers. 1t then, a week later
perhaps, published q statement from
Brayton, to which we took exceptions
and upon which we at the time made
tho Objectionable comments. All this
time the Register had not published
a word on the other side, and the only
excuse made for not publishing what
we said about the affair was "because
it was misplaced on the night it was
received, and was not again seen by
the writer until other and more de>
tailed accounts had been given olse>
whore" Why did the Register not
publish some of the "other and more
detailed accounts?" That's the ques-
tion.
If the Register had published any
OF thom we should have never said
word. But as it did not, we, and many
others in this vicinity, very naturally
came to the coE.oiusion that the Roa
gister endorsed what is said BIZ Col
leotor BraytGn about this bloody az
fair2" and was really at that time ig-
norantly Sin sympathy with these
ruffians and murderers." This was
only an impression, not an assertion.
The Register said not word about
this and other high handed measures
by Revenue officials, until after the
report of the Grand Jury was pub~
lished several weeks after tho murder
was committed. Our statement had
been branded as false through the
columns of the Register, and under
the circumstances we think we were
justified in what we said. We have
no apologies to make.

Mr.. EDITOR: Several kind friends
havo had the goodness to inform me
that a report is being ciI culated
throughout the County that am in
favor of the ono fence law" Or at
least, that if elected TO the Legisla>
ture, will advocate the passage of a
law, extending the fence on the An>
derson line to the Air Line Railroad.
l had intended to define my position
on this question at the series of meets
ings called by tho Executive Com
mittee, but as l will be engaged in
tho United States Court at that time,
defending several of our citizens
charged with violation of the Intern
al revenue law, take this method
to most emphatically contradict the
report. The fence question is mat
ter with the people, and for the people
to decide, and question with which
the Legislature has and should have
no voice. When child is sick and
refuses to take medicine, he is some-
times gagged and forced to swallow
it, but the people are not children,
and the Legislature has no right to
force obnoxious measures upon them.
lfelected, therefore, and any attempt
is made to force this measure upon
the people of Pickens, I, as their re-
preventative, and as the exponent of
their views and wishes, will most
heartily oppose it. As I before stated,
it is q matter with the people, and the
| people themselves should decide it.
Respectfully, &c.
