The crystal sea has disappeared with
its attendant hardships and aesthetic sit
uations. While on land and sea there
has been much suffering, from atmos-
pheric pressure and vicissitude, there
has also been pleasure afforded the
young and adventurous. The morn
ings and evenings were at times quite
beautiful with clustering and glowing
scenes. The happy feature attending
the late hard freeze, was the sweet
charity of Gods angels everywhere, in
human form, who sought to alleviate
the suferings Of poor humanity, by
distributing food, fuel and clothing to
the destitute. Meteorological conditions
have obtained of late that battle scien-
tific thought. Gods providence is SUI
preme as we'll as universal. It is He
"that sending snow like wool and scat
tereth the hoar frost like ashes, who
can stand before His cold?"
Mr.. W. q. Pratt died at his home in
this village on the 18th ultimo, after a
comparatively brief illness, in the 64th
year of his age Mr.. Pratt was native
of Watertown, Massachusetts,, and
came to Helena about thirty-five years
ago, as skilled machinist, and worked
,r the railroad shops until their remov-
al to Columbia. By industry and thrift
he secured comfortable little home
and surroundings, where he resided to
the day of his death, devoting himself
principally to farming.
His wife preceded him to the grave
two years ago. He was taken sick On
the anniversary Of her death. He
leaves two sisters and brother whose
homes are in Massachusetts and Ohio,
and an adopted daughter, who was the
lone survivor of his immediate house
hold, and to whom he had ever been a
kind, indulgent father.
Mr.. Pratt was an honorable, upright
citizen. quiet and unassurling in bis
manner, and a man whose word was to
be relied upon thoroughly. He was
also neighbor in the true sense of the
term. AS q devoted member of the
Evangelical Lutheran Church, he died
at peace with God and his fellow man.
In his illness and in the hour of
death all that skill, patient, watching
and loving ministry could do were
tenderly bestowed. The Lutheran
church being at present without pas
tor, Rev. Professors Voigt and Bowers,
as soon as they weresapprised Of bis
condition, Went at once to his bedside
and to the house of affliction. The fu-
! neral services were conducted by them
and the remains of the deceased buried
in Rosemont Cemetery in the presence
of the devoted one now twice orphaned
and circle of friends who will cherish
and respect his memory.

SpeCldl W L ue Sldle.
CHARLESTON, S. c., January go
Sheriff Nance of Abbeville County es-
corted by Attorney-General Townsend
and Mr.. Speaker Ira B. Jones, and
loaded with long legal documents, ap-
peared in the marble palasis de justice
before Judge Simonton to-day, to an
swer the rule taken out against the
sheriff for daring to levy on a train OF
the Port Royal and Western Carolina
Railroad for taxes, while the said road
was in the hands Of q receiver.
The illustrious trio was evidently full
of fight, but the opportunity was not
given them. When the case was called
and before the Attnrney-General could
get in his answer, Mr.. Ganahl, counsel
for the railroad, moved that the rule be
dismissed, the petitioner to pay the
costs, and this order was signed by
Judge Simonton.
1t seems that the whole proceeding
was in the nature of bluff on the part
of the railroad, to gain time, in order to
raise money to pay its taxes. The
money has been raised, and Mr.. Ganahl
goes to Columbia tonight, in company
with the sheriff and the AttorDey-Gen-
eral and the Speaker, to settle with the
State.
