NOTES FROM SALEM.

Two Pleasant Entertainment ents--The Net
Results Condition Of the Man Re-
Gently Wounded.
SALEM, April 7, 1S79.-It is seldom
that your correspondent has been able
to send you description of two very
pleasant occasions at one time. This
he is able to do now.
The ladies, with conmcndablc zeal,
had determined to have q festival on
the right of first Of April for the bene-
fit of the Salem Presbyterian church,
at the house Of Mr.. G. B. Pcttigrow,
whose genial hospitality always rcn-
ders his house tho objective point for
such occasions about Salem. In con-
sequence Of tho inclcment weather ON
the night appointed, ttrlo was only q
small attendance. Tho old adage runs,
"fhc more the mcrricr, the fewer the
better cheer" We could almost revise
this for this occasion, for three times
the number could have found every
good thing in abundance but we arc
almost sure could not have made the
few that were there enjoy themselves
any more. A repetition of this fcsti-
val was generally called for, and the
house Of Mr.. NJ. l.. Owings, whose
motto, us every one knows, is, "Wel-
como the coming and speed the parting
guest" was selected. Here again was
spent another exceedingly pleasant
evening. The amuscmcnts on both
occasions consisted Of charades, char
acter-songs and music, all of which
were rendered in manner highly ell
tcrtaining. In short, the festivals may
be classcd with the most enjoyable oc-
casions of the season, where every
body seemed pleased with themselves
and every one else. We understand
that about forty dollars was realized
at both festivals.

Of the NecS and Courier has at last
been made. Rev. G. S. Vcddcr, Rev.
j. A. Chambliss and G.. Herbert Sass,

"Ashhurst, or the Days that Were"
Honorable mention was made Of "Thc
Piuc and the Palm," E'Thc Bloom Of

Ottcr stories were mcritorious, espc-
cially "Otto and EmmaDucl," "Under
the Live Oaks," "Fuimus," "Cathe-
rinc Dullcn," Ga Tale Of Life" "Ebb
Tide" "Consfcncc Beverley" and
"Edwald Laurel, Of Laurclton." The

cal sketch, but does not meet the con-
ditions Of the award. The successful

We trust it will find q large patronage
among the readers of South Carolina.
Is IT A SwINDLE2-Mr. Oxner, The
postmaster at this place, has handed
us the following letter, received few
days since:
ALLENTOWN, PENN,
April 8, 1879.
TO the Postmaster, Winaas6oro, s. c.:
DEAR SIR-Would you please make
inquiries in your town, or have insert
ed in one of your papers q local item
that Patrick SWecny is needed in
Allentown, Penn, to look after his
property which is about to bo sold for
a debt Of $3.50. The cost of the prop
erty is about $1,000 or $4,000.
Respectfully yours,
JOHN BREsTIN.
This letter bears the earmarks OF
fraud. There is no reason for any one
to suppose that Patrick Sweeny lives
in Winnsboro any more than at any Of
the other towns in the United States.
A general search would have been
mado by printed circular. On tho
other hand this lcttea is written on
part ofaleaf oflettcrpaper ina "fancy"
envelope having tho initial IN" tho
address written diagonally, and tho
whole thing bearing simplicity and
innocence OH its face. A printed cir
cular would not be apt to got a bite, as
that dodge has played out. The inten-
tion Of the writer was evidently to
catch some greenhorn willing to fraud
ulontly personate "Patrick Sweeny,"
who would send the $3.50, and hear no
moro of it. a similar case occurred. iu

The Planet Mars.

Prof. Lockyer is of the opinion that
human life on the planet Mars might
be very much like human life on the
earth-the light cannot be 30 bright,
but the organs Of sight may be 30 much
susceptible as to make the vision
quite good; the heat is probably less, as
the polar SHOWS certainly extend far
ther, but by no means less in proportion
to the lessened power of the solar rays.
he agrees with others, that several
very remarkable seas-including in
land seas, some Of them connected and
some not connected by straits with still
larger seas-are now de6nable in the
southern hemisphere, in which, as is
the cas- also with the earth, water
seems to be more widely spread than in
the northern hemisphere. There is, for
examples southernsea exceedingly like
the Baltic in shape; and there is anoth-
er and still more remarkable sea, now
defined by the observations of many as
