REV. D. W. CUTT1NO.-Ons Saturday.
afternoon, May 29th, 1886, the Rev. D.
W.. Cuttino departed this life, after an
illness of little more than week. His
death was very unexpected, as few
knew of his sickness. On this account
he was deprived, during his last hours
of the presence and ministration of
nearly all of his children. Only two
of his sons reached home in time to at
tend his funeral. The funeral services
we're conducted in the Santee baptist
Church on Sunday afternoon, in the
presence of an immense congregation,
that had assembled to pay the last tri-
butte of respect to this devout soldier OF
the Cross. The quiyering lips and the
fearful eye of many, showed how
deeply they felt the loss OF their beloved
pastor. His body was reverently laid
to rest in the little cemetery, adjourn
ing the church. there to await the
second coming of our Lord Jesus, when
the mortal will be clothed with lmmor-
tality. Mr.. Cuttino was in the sixty
fifth year of his age, and for thirty-iive
years had been an active worker in the
Baptist ministry. For about fifteen
years he has been the pastor OF the San
tee and Corinth Baptist Churches,
situated in this county. The first
twenty years of his life were spent, we
think, mainly in Clarendon county. In
1874, the members OF the Charleston
Baptist Association, showed their love
for and confidence in him, by electing
him Moderator of that large and influen-
tial body, and continued him in that
position until his death. In 1876, he
was one of the principle leaders in the
movement which resulted in the or
ganization of the Orangeburg Baptist
Sunday School Convention. of which
body he was the first and the only
President, for the brethren had such
implicit confidence in him that they
continued to re-elect him from session
to session. He entered heartily into
every movement which had for its OBJ
ject the improvement ofhis fellow-men.
He was we'll fitted by nature, grace and
culture for the high and responsible
position he occupied, having received Il
thorough education at the South Caro-
lima College before the war and con-
tinuing devout and painstaking
student of Gods Word till the day OF
his death. His heart was full Of love
for God and for man, it seemed to bub-
ble up within him as perennial foun-
tain, this made him the delightful
companion, the sympathizing friend,
the faithful pastor and the Jealous
laborer in the Masters vineyard. He
has fallen at his post on the great bat
tie field and has gone before us to his
reward. No doubt, he is already en-
joying the blessed communion Of the
sainted dead, and has heard the voice
of Jesus saying: "Well done thou good
and faithful Servant" We extend to
his bereaved family our deepest sympa-
thy, with the fervent prayer that the
Holy Spirit may comfort their hearts
with the exceeding great and precious
promises" of Gods Word.

The Freshet.
CONGAREE, May, 2.

CoNGAREE, May, "a, 1886.
A dot from our section of country
occasionally will tend to let our friends
know that we are still alive. The dry
weather which has for so long a time
kept our corn and cotton back has
ended. refreshing rains having visited US
and improved our prospects for a crop.
The rains in the up country have
caused rise in the river, which has
damaged many of the farmers consid-
erably, and it the damage has been as
great on the river above and below us,
as with US. it is truly sad state of
affairs. The river commenced to rise
on Wednesday night, May 10, and con-
tinued to rise until Saturday morning,
when the water was higher than known
for many years. The mounds provided
in the swamp for safety of stock during
high water were entirely covered, in
many cases high enough to swim the
stock, consequently the loss was heavy.
Mr.. Jeffords and wife, Capt. Z. w.
Brady's stock minder, who lives in a
house situated near the bank Of the
river, on the Richland side, had to leave
his house and with his wife take safety
in a boat. The following gentleman
are heavy loosers by this freshet. Capt.
E. W. Brady, loss in stock and grain
crop about $500; Mr.. Derrill Brady, in
stock and grain crops 5000; Capt. w.
D. Starting, in stock and grain crops
$1,000; Mr.. H. G. Paalling, in stock and
grain crops $1,000; MIR. j. A. Furtick,
in stock and grain crops $50; John
Williams, in stock and grain crops
$500; making total loss Of about
S6,775 This is indeed heavy on these
gentlemen, some of whom have lost all
their corn and will have to buy it back
to feed their hands and stock.
On Monday morning, May 16, Mr.. d.
w. Baisle had his barb burnt. contain
ing about 1900 pounds of FODDER, 25
bushels peas and rice food. Supposed
to be the work of an incendiary. No
other news of interest, only we all are
getting fine stand of cotton and plenty
of grass to contend with. CoNGAREE.

Theft CAPTURED.-A young negro
man hid himself in the store Of Mr..
". P. Dukes, of Rowesyille, on last
Thursday evening just as the clerk was
closing up the store. During the night
he robbed the store of a lot OF valuables,
and made his escape by breaking the
door. The loss was discovered by Mr.
Dukes Saturday morning, and suspi-
cion pointed to the negro in question:
and, upon his being arrested, a con-
siderable quantity of the stolen goods
was found in his possession. He has
made full confession of the whole
matter. lie has been lodged in Jail to
await trial.

SUMNER RATES OF TRAvEL.-The
News and Courier says that Col. D. G.
Allen received day or two ago from
the secretary of the Southern passenger
committee the proof sheet Of the
schedule of railway excursion rates for
the present season. The Southern
passenger committee met in Atlanta
on May IL and was composed of repre-
sentatives of all the railways IN the
Southern States. The result Of the de-
alterations of the body will be publish
ed in a few days. By the new excur-
sion rates adopted there will be very
little material change in the figures of
last year. The rate to Asheyille via
Charlotte last season was S18. This
wear it will he S17.30. When the Spar
tanburg and Asheville Road is COM
pleted, which is expected to be about
the 1st of August, the rate will be SIG.
The rates to points in Virginia are the
same, or nearly so, as they were last
summer. The rate to Hendersonville
has been fixed at 81 higher than the
cost of the usual excursion ticket. There
is also an increase of ninety cents in
the price Of tickets to Flat Rock. 10
Greenyille and Walhalla the rates will
be the same as last year. Thesetickets
are usually placed on sale about the
first of June. Owing, however, to the
condition of the up-country roads, it is
not likely that travel to the mountains
will begin until the end Of the coming
week. The cheap excursion train will
be run about the middle of August.
The rates for this two weeks trip will
be about half the ordinary summer
excursion rate.

A SCENE OF BEAUTY.-Under the
starlight, in the grove of trees, sur
rounded with bright-hued Chinese Ian
terms were gathered hundreds of the
patrons and friends of Miss r. S. Alber-
gotti's School on Friday night last, to
witness the usual annual May festival.
The arrangements of stage, area for
exhibition, throne and floral decora-
tions were very pretty. Seats sur
rounded the scene Of mimic pomp on
which a delighted crowd waited the
debut Of the Queen. Miss Jessie
Riggs had been elected to the royal
seat. Her charming attire, stately
crown, mock sceptre and gentle air
captivated the attention Of every one.
The Maids of Honor, us pretty, stood
around. The school representing the
Seasons, Arts, Flowers, &C., by CO.'S
tunes both appropriate and elegant,
performed the part of honoring the
Queen remarkably we'll. One by one
they advanced and reciting tlattering
address, or expressing glad wish laid
their tributes at the foot Of the throne.
The Queen modestly replied, then the
entire party marched by twos through
the area, around and back to their
places. Next followed pleasant exhi-
bition of Calisthenics, led by Miss
Fannie Moseley. The Pantomine was
lovely in the lamp light. Mr.. and
Mrs. H. Kohn furnished the music
with their usual artistic excellence.
After the exhibition the school and
patrons were marched to a bountiful
spread of nice things on long table in
the grove where for a couple Of hours
the light-hearted happy girls forgot
the labor of books, rejoicing as youth
only can in all that is innocent and
lovely. This school is one of the best
in the State,

MARR1ED.-We clip the following
from the Spartanburg Herald of last
week: "Mr. S. J. Simpson went down
to Columbia last week and on Tuesday
was married to Miss Ella Simpson,
daughter of Chief Justice W. d. Simp-
son. They returned to Spartanburg on
Thursday and left almost immediately
for Glenn'S. The host of friends whom
Mr.. Simpson has made in Spartanburg
will ensure his wife warm welcome
in or midst, even from those who have
not known her." Our hearty congratula-
tions are extended to our young friend
and his bride. May their life be one of
uninterrupted JOY and happiness.

\ WORD FOR THE CLERKs.-There
are very few people anywhere harder
worked than the clerks in the stores in
+Orangeburg, and Il cleverer set of fel-
lows could scarcely he found in any
other town in the State. From early
morning till night, they serve their
EMPLOYERS with zeal and fidelity. Now,
during the warm months these faithful
EMPLOYEES need some recreation and
open-air exercise. Will not our mer-
chants. the liberal-hearted we mean,
take this matter into consideration,
and arrange it so as to close their
stores early in the week. We are sure
the ladies will join us in this re-
quest, and extend their influence and
patronage to those who will give their
tired clerks breathing spell.

PATRICK EGAN, President of the Irish
League of America, is out in statement
indignantly denying the charge of certain
English journals attributing the Anarchist
riot in Chicago to the Irish element He
challenges proof that the Irish were con
cerned. He declares that it is matter o.
pride that the Irish have never been or
the side of the red flag. Socialism, he
adds, never has had any foothold in Ire
land or among the Irish people, while il
has considerable strength in London
Now and then an Irishman is led off into
extremes, he admits, but that the Irish in
cline to Socialism he holly denies. We
believe that Mr. Egan is correct.
The Irish in America have not, as rule,
been found among the Anarchists or any
classes of Socialists. Where they have
been concerned in difficulties with the
authorities, they have not been prompted
by allegiance to the infamous doctrines of
the Most-Schwab-M ichel-Spies crowd.
Their chief crime here has been strong
attachment to the Democratic party.
