According to the Philadelphia Rec
ord, the story Longfellow told to Dick
ems, is as follows
To Wilkie Collins, from New York,
under date of January IL, 1868, Mr.
Dickens writes Being at Boston last
Sunday, took it into my head to go
over the Medical School and survey
the holes and corners into which that
extraordinary murder was done by
Webster, There were the furnace and
all the grim spouts and sinks and
chemical appliances and what not. AT
dinner, afterward, Longfellow told me
terrific story. He dined with Web
ster within year of the murder, one
Of party OF ten or twelve. AS they
sat at their wine, Webster suddenly
ordered the lights turned out and a
bowl Of some burning material to be
placed on the table, that the guests
might see how ghostly it made them
look. AS each man stared at the rest
in the weird light, all were horror
stricken to see Webster, with a rope
round his neck, holding it up over the
bowl, with his head jerked on one side
and his tongue lolled out representing
sman being hanged"

The Three C's in South Carolina.

Blacksburg Correspondent in Yorkville En-
quirer.
The county commissioners OF Union
county, at their meeting on Tuesday,
last, modified the trust agreement
which they had with the Three C's
Construction Company, involving
township bonds amounting to one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars,
by making said bonds deliverable to
the construction company, when suffi-
cient evidence has been presented to
the trustee that the road has been
completed according to contract.
This arrangement was made espe-
cially to obviate the delay and diff
culties, and to avoid the unpleasant
and tedious litigation by which the
company has been hindered in York
and Lancaster counties. This matter
being satisfactorily adjusted, and from
other arrangements about to be made,
there is no doubt now about the early
construction,of the Augusta Division
of the Three C's road, and the work
will very probably be let out at an
early day.
This line Of road win not only be a
splendid help towards the building up
of our town, and n great aid to the
Three C's road, but of itself is so i'm
portant line, and he's such fine con
nections it is possible ii may be adopt
ed as the main line of the Three on
road from this place, with its Southern
terminus at Port Royal. or Savannah
Six carloads OF expensive and heavy
machinery have been recently re
lceiyed at the Three C's railroad shops
