During the progress of the dance ON
the City of Grcenvillc, Saturday night
Miss Mollie Clark, Of Missouri, fell over in
fainting fit, and sometime elapsed before
she was restored to consciousness, DR..
Cunning was called, and found the young
lady so much Frustrated that he forbade
her removal from the boat during the night.
Accordingly she remained on board until
Sunday morning, lady friends kindly
watching by her side until daylight, when
she was sufficiently recovered to be remoy,
ed with safety,
One Of the most shocking accidents Of
the season. was that which occurred last
Saturday at Bartleson's mill, at locality
known as Oaktown. William Morris, who
is a nephew Of Mr. Webster, one of the own
ers of the mill, was acting in the capacity
of sawyer. He was thus engaged when q
portion of slab or Jagged piece of timber
was thrown from the log with great vio-
lence, and striking Mr.. Morris in the
stomach tore its way through into the cav
ity of the body, producing death in very
short time. Mr.. Morriswas highly esteemed
in the neighborhood, and his sudden tax
ing of is the cause Of general and profound
sorrow.

Portable and elegant home near the convent,

We have, during the winter, more in
thoughtlcSsness than otherwise, brought to
public notice, private social gatherings.
We have, in as many as half dozen in
stances made mention of private parties,
without permission to do 50 from the fam
lily or persons giving them. In these cases
We oycrstepped the privileges Of the press
and beg pardon. In the future we shall
make mention OF private or family reunions,
when requested to do so, and not otherwise.
We shall, by the adoption Of such course,
escape rcproof FOR making p2blic on the
one hand, and for not making public on
the other hand, that which is usually held
as sacred to private circles
Captain Boyton has been here's
gone. and we begin to wonder among our
selves, why his coming WIS the signal for
such a hurrah. After al, what more does
the whole thing amount to, than a
man, cncased in an air.irfiatcd rubber suit,
floundering about in the water so manag-
inc his cavortings as to make money for
himself and that's about all, The Captains
suit orarmor would be a grand discovery,
if the traveller by water could adjust tito his
person after being tumbIcd ov'rboard; but
the idea Of travellers wearing sud an outland-
sh rig in anticipation of such mishap, is
prepostcrouS But our people are curious
