" The DIstrict Rcform School.

The trustees of the Reform school held their
regular monthly meeting yesterday. The af-
fairs of the school were reported by Superin-
tendent Shallenbergcr to be in very salts
factory condition, the work of the farm and
shops progressing and yielding good returns,
while not boy is on the sick list. The re-
port that tho school was unable to accommo-
date additional boys for lack of room was
stated by the superintendent to he incorrect
and that he had SO advised the officers of the
police court.
The parents and friends of the young
offenders, desrous of their having as short
confinement as possible, almost invariably
prefer short term in the jail to being sent
to the school until reported reformed and
given an honorable discharge. II is
understood to be the purpose of Judge Smell
to hereafter refuse these solicitations and, to
save these youths from the contact with tho
hardened criminals of the jail, send them to
the school until reformed and duly dis
charged.
The sum of $500 has been granted to the
school by congress for a new barn and out
buildings for root crops, and the work of pre-
pairing the site for these structures will soon
begin. The facilities these buildings will
afford will enable the school to utilize the
farm products in much better manner
than heretofore and result in increased
sales Of surplus supplies as well as of
small fruits and berries, to which Col.
Shallenbergcr intends hereafter to give spe-
cal attention. The results accomplished
by the school is indicated in the regular re-
ports from time to time submitted to the board
are in every way gratifying, and show that it
Is one of the worthicst objects Of governmental
aid, and deserving of the kindly interest and
aid of all good people. The school is situated

Newberry Rifles Entertainment.

In point Of attendance and interest,
at least, the entertainment given at
the Opera House, Tuesday evening,
for the benefit OF the Newberry Rifles,
was = success. 1t consisted of vocal
ard instrumental music by Mrs Davis,
Mrs. Bailey and Miss Mamie McCaug2l-
rim. and recitations and reading by
Miss Ella Motto and MessrS. Pifer,
Silas Johnstone and Cromer. In our
Judgment the recitations were admir-
able, and the reading, barring that
part of which we could not becomingly
speak, excellent.
What shall we say OF the music Its
excellence went beyond our powers of
Just criticism, and it was frequently
applauded to the encore. Comment
must follow the line of commendation.
On the human voice, that most delicate
and difficult of musical instruments,
Mrs. Davis plays with consummate
skill.
The attention of the audience was
held untiring till past eleven o'clock.
The receipts were about s25.

decides that the proof does not show
that the will executed by Mr.. Wadling,
ton was destroyed or suppressed by
the defendants, or that it eve tme
into their hands; that the presumption
is, that Mr.. Wadlington destroyed the
will, and this presumption has not
been rebutted by plaintiffs. There is
no proof that duly executed will was
in existence at the time of Mr.. Wad-

On Tuesday fire which came near
being very serious, occurred on Mr.. j..

near Maybinton. a double negro cab
in was accidentally set OH fire and
wholly destroyed. The wind being
high, the fire was communicated to the
gin house which stood at distance OF
one hundred yards from the cabin, and
TO the carriage house which stood at a
greater distance. The hands on the
place saved these buildings only by
knocking off the ROOF of each. They
are near the dwelling house, and it
could not have been saved if they had
been burned. Mr.. Bynum was not
present.

CHAPPELL's DEPOT, May 9.-Our
usually quiet community was thrown
into quite an excitement yesterday
morning by the news of the cold
blooded murder OF 4 colored woman
named Frances Stuart, who was shot
and killed by her husband, Louis
Stuart. in the house of Henry Lang
ford, who lives on the plantation OF
Trial Justice w. S. Pitts. on Monday
night about half-past S O'Clock. An
inquest was held by Trial Justice w.
S. Pitts as soon as a jury could be en-
panelled.
1t appears from all that your repOr-
ter can learn that Stuart and his wife
never lived happily together, and were
all the time separating, and it was drl-
ing one of these separations, that she
was living with Langford, when it is
supposed that Stuart became so eNas-
Derated that he wilfully and delibe-
rately shot her through crack in the
house of Langford, the shot taking ef-
feet behind her left ear and causing
death almost instantly. Two OF the
scattering shot also took effect in the
person Of Langford's child, who was
in the room with the murdered woman.
The weapon used is supposed to have
been an old rusty musket loaded with
mixed shot. as both small and buck
shot was taken from the wound by
DR.. McSwain, who examined the dead
body.
Stuart was seen last about dark OF
the evening Of the 7th, with a gun, ant
was heard to say that if she did moi
live with him sic should not live at all
that he was going TO kill her. Stuart Ia:
decamped, but Trial Justice Pitts ha:
issued a warrant for his arrest and Il
IS hoped that he will soon be brought
to justice. ALPHA:
