IL Is expected that the grand jury to be
summoned for the next term OF the County
Court OF Sussex will take cognlzance OF the
recent threatened disturbances at Stony
Creek, aud will probably bring in some in
dictmenls.
William Moore (colored), late magistrate
OF this city, appeared in the Mayors Court
this morning as witness agaiast two ne
grOes, whom he charged with sssaulting aud
shooting him. While on bis way home one
night lsst week Moore was knocked down
by some parties unknown aud was then shot.
The bullet entered his leg and has not yet
been extracted. There was no proof against
the parties arraiened in court this morning,
and they were discharged.
Three little boys Masters Herbert Mann,
Ross and Gill Hinton-the TWO last the
sons Of Or. Samuel Hinton, were injured
this morning while playing with powder.
The boys are pupils at Anderson public
school. They went OF this mornir . TO amuse
themselves bv lighting powder 70 SEQ Vt flash.
1t Is supposed they must have put too much
OF the powder in pile, for when they ap.
piled the match q report was heard and the
boys raa screaming 10 pump near hy.
Two OF the bows escaped with very slight
Injuries, but Master Ross Hinton was quite
badly hurt and will be confined 70 his home
