CONDITION or GOVERNOR HAMPTON.

+
/. 1t is gratifying to record the fact that Coy
enor Hampton continues to improve daily,
and that his condition is such as to warrant
the belief Of his speedy recovery. On the 10th,
he was transferred from his couch to an easy
chair and sat for two hours in the open air on
his porch. He also wrote several letters dur
ing the day. Clutches have been ordered for
him, from which it is surmised that he, will be
able to be about. at an early, day. On Monday
the Governor took second airing, on which
occasion he was wheeled out into the, yard of
his residence where he remained for some time.
: The Neus and Courier announces that it is
probable that the Governor will make his first
appearance in public, since his accident, in
Charleston, on the 22nd of February, in order
to participate in the celebration of Washing
toms birthday, an invitation which he has
already accepted This reminds us that du-
ring the last canvass Senator Witherspoon
promised the people of York that the Cover
nor should pay them special visit, inasmuch
as our people were deprived the pleasure of
meeting him during the campaign. The peo-
pie of York would delight in honoring Cover
nor Hampton, and it is but due that he should
visit them before taking his seat in the U. S.
Senate. We would therefore suggest to Sena-
tor Witherspoon to renew his invitation to the
Governor, and let him choose the day ON
which he can visit our people. IA rousing
welcome awaits him. '''F iacH -1si1iIa@~

ROCK HILL ITEMS.

We condense the following items from the
Rock Hill Herald: s,Ir.,.
Rev. R. Latham, School Commissioner for
York County, has made separate school dis.
trict of the town of Rock Hill, with the fol-
lowing gentlemen as trustees Messrs. A. E.
Hutchinson, w. L. Roddy, and J. NJ. Ivy.
About year ago, Mr.. Victor Avery, son
of DR.. Avery, Of Ebenezer, went West to try
fortunes chances in new sections of country.
About three weeks ago he returned and ex-
presses the opinion that there is ".no place like
home" Mr.. Robert Gordon, of Rock Hill,
who went about the same time on q similar
trip, has also returned with the same verdict.
Mr.. Joseph Miller, who resides six miles
north of Rock Hill, about the middle of Sep
tember last missed large pet hog that he
kept in his horse lot. Repeated enquiries fail
ed to elicit the slightest information concern.
ing the fate of the hog. Finally, about the
middle of last month, when the hog had been
almost forgotten, it was reported to Mr.. Miller
one day, by one of his employees, that in car
rying straw from the barn.shed he had come
upon something that looked like the back of
the long lost hog. Mr. Miller; at once made
investigation, and to his great amazement
found his hog imbedded in the straw, still
alive, but reduced to the merest skeleton.
Early in September the barn.shed was filled
with wheatstraw, and just after the hog was
missed Mr.. Miller says he eremembers seeinga
plank loose, and having it .renailed, on the
side of the shed near the ground. Through
this opening the hog entered the shed, bur
rowing his way far into the straw, and being
unable to turn, became, by the lateral pres.
sure and superineumbent weight Of the straw,
stationary and efectually imprisoned. When
removed, the animals lankness was of that
character which made him almost literal
specimen Of the ideal razor back. For sew
eral days he reeled and staggered, but by
judicious feeding is now doing we'll. '.''' ~.
