colored, while hunting rabbits on show
day, instead of shooting one Of those ami
mails, accidentally emptied the contents
of his gun into the head of Primus Moore,
colored. AS good fortune woold have 1t,

painful wound...... The fire on last Fri

from her house to the burning building,
was attacked with heart disease, and in
the twinkling of an eye passed from

attacked, and every effort was made to
save her life, but in vain.
Yorkville Enquirer: On Friday last,
Edmund Lowry, aged about IL years,
son of w illiam Lowry, near Smiths
Turnout, in this county, died of typhoid
fever. Soon after the death occurred,
the mother of the deceased was standing
near the fire dressing boil on her hus-
bands neck, when her clothing caught

so badly burned as to render them un-
able to attend the funeral of their son.

...... Greenwood has shipped about eigh-
teen hundred bales Of cotton since the lst

at Greenwood have for some time been
greatly excited by the labors of female

Abbeville Medium: The sickness in the
country lying between Bradley's Mills
and Millway has not abated since the
cold weather began, and in territory Oh
about six miles square every family,
black and white, has some member in
bed with chills or fever. The death rate
has somewhat decreased, but the number
of cases of sickness has not diminished
at all, and not week passes without two
or three deaths. The sickness has con-
tinued since the middle of last June, and
not less than twenty-five persons have
died during this time. The sickness al
most invariably takes congestive turn,
and medical skill has been of compara-
lively little avail. The sickness proba-
bly, results from the Ineffective drainage
on Hard Labor Creek and the almost
constant northeast wind that has been
blowing since the first of July.
Lancaster Ledger We learn that ten
ant house, on the place of Rev. Robert
Hegler, thirteen miles east of this place,
was destroyed by fire on Saturday last,
and that child two years old perlshed
in the flames. The mother OF the child,
Mrs. Rena Beaver, was engaged at
work at neighbours, and left her three
children at home. 1t is supposed that
the children set fire to the house. The
two oldest made their escape, and the
remains of the youngest was found near
the door.
Kershaw Gazette: On Tuesday evening
last, Col. Jordan went out into his back
lot and attempted to catch a loose horse.
He drove him up the lane and put up
some bars to prevent him getting out
again until caught. From some cause or
other the horse became frightened and
came rushing towards the Colonel, who
was standing just outside the bars. He
ran against and broke the bars, one OF
which struck the Colonel just above the
knee, breaking the thigh. A physician
was called at once, who reset the broken
bone. The Colonel was resting easy
when last heard from.
