A New DEPARTURE.-The Caro-

lowing: :'The young ladies have made
a new. departure in Darlington county.
A short time ago, fair maiden of re-
spectacle family. with good education
and unstained character. rose from her

rived there before daylight and first en-
eountered some savage dogs, but as Of

nor aarks. She made her way to the

and then they twain walked six miles to

night, now, to prevent the girls from

we'll dressed, healthy, cheerful looking,
lady-like girls" The factory turns out
5000 yards of silk a week. Mr.. Kiser
says: II hope the time is not far dis

DEAR SIR Il have carefully examined

advantages peculiar to itself, and beside
combines various principles which have
proved successful in the experience of
other associations. It offers protection
at cost within the reach Of almost every
one, on a purely mutual basis, and there

Town POLITICS. The near approach
of our town election is causing the poll
tical pot to boil at last, and there is a
prospect of a temporary break in the
monotonous quiet OF the political atmos-
phere. We attempted to make copies
ofthe various tickets that were posted
up in different parts of our town, but we
gave up in dispair, they came so thick
and fast. We ought always to have
good men at the head of our municipal
affairs, and it is incumbent upon our citi-
zens to consider what action is to lie
taken to secure such. The time is short
and whatever is done ought tc be done
quickly.

a MYsTERY.-While Mr.. D. 3. Con-
nor was walking in his pasture, in the
lower part Of our County few days ago.
he found in a secluded place in hollow
stump two guns which had evidently
been there great many years. All the
wood work was gone, and the iron part
was twelve or fifteen inches under
ground. Both guns were well loaded,
had keen flint in each lock, and were
half cooked. The barrels are as straight
as an arrow, and have been burnt with
many fires. The supposition is that the
guns were put there when the stump
was green tree, perhaps hundred
years ago or over. We wonder who put
them there, and for what purpose.
