Court-.The Judges Delay.

Owing TO the non-arrival of His Honor
Judge .Aldrich until II H.. sixty .inrSmeii,
Il number OF witnesses. and others in attend
ance upon the court were disappointed last
Monday. Clerk ZCi.lcr called the Jurors 1T
the usual hour. and organised the jUricS.
As no one here knew the whereabouts or the
Intentions. OF the Judge. he adjourned the
Court until the next day at 10 O'clnck. IL was
then thought that the Judge would arrive by
the 5:3l train In the afternoon. This being
harvest week with many Of our farmers it is
with Il majority OF them. the busiest week OF
the wear. and not 4 few were disposed to COM
plain Of the Court, the Judge and everything
connected with the necessity OF holding the
June Court, and as this was the first DELAY
OF this kind which has occurred since Demo-
cratic reconstruction. II set many OF our
pcople to thinking of the cost it incurred on
th. county by the delay. The absence OF Il
i~uryinan makes him liable TO heavy pcnal-
ties. Besides the Inconvenience 20 our plan
tiers, the cost to be paid by the county was
considerable.
We understand that the Judge was acct.
dcntally left by the train in Columbia. and
that in his anxiety not to disappoint the
Court, left Columbia by the {. G. II n.
Il, r., and came to Abbeville oy way or
Charlotte and Grcenville and but for the
change in the schedule would have been here
IN good time.

A Terrible Experience.


Capt. Mark Ingraham, of Rockland, broth
err of Capt. Otis Ingraham, of the steamer
Cambridge, has just returned home, having
sufficiently recovered from the effects Of his
injuries, received during the August gale, to
be able to travel. At the time of the gale he
was at Norfolk with his schooner the Chase,
and was writing to his wife, telling her about
the gale, and that he was in a safe harbor,
when he heard a commotion on deck and
rusht d out of the cabin only to find scene
of wild confusion. The air was full of sticks
and pieces of boards. and the lines with
which the vessel was fastened, were being
parted like shoe strings. Capt Ingraham
jumped to take the wheel, thinking he was
adrift, when he was caught by the one re-
naming line, and jammed against the rail
and held in that terrible position, until the
line, which was new one, parted, and he
fell to the deck. AS soon as the vessel was
under control he was taken to the hospital,
when it was found that one OF his hips had
been torn from its place. three ribs broken in
two places, several of the small veins about
his eyes ruptured, and the eye-balls almost
out of his head. He was placed under med
zeal treatment, which proved so successful
that he has been able to return home, as
stated above. Capt. Ingraham is the same
man who took the passengers off the Cam
bridge, when she was aground on Hay Island.
