Tie news reached here last Saturday
that the Cay before, at the Charleston
Hospital, Thomas Nimmer, the Assyrian,
who was so badly burned in ManninGs
recent FIRE, had his right-arn amputated at
the shoulder. Nimmer is man of family
and it only adds to the sadness Of his case.
Both Of the victims OF the catastrophe were
strangers here, and neither had any interest
in the fire except to help others whose
property was in danger of destruction.
The amput4tion of this unfortunate mans
arm was not a surprise to rs as it was
cooked from his shoulder to the hand. The
last heard from him was that he is getting
on as we'll as can be expected and it is
hoped by everybody here that the poor
fellow will be able TO pull through.

Mr. W. Fl. Cole, of the Fork. was in town
last Saturday and he tells US that be was
the victim Of dastardlv outrage ias: Thurs
day uight He says that q party Of white
men under the cover Of night went to his
place and tore up the large bridge 10 front
of his avenue leading up to his house and
scattered the plank for L half of a mile. that
they threw some of the plank in Captain
Bradham's field. The amount of timber
thev carried off and scattered would have
made good two-horse load. The bridge
tore up was between 80 and forty feet long
He is satisfied white men are the perpetra-
tors OF this deed. ani he says the only
cause he can assign is that he declined to al
low the neishborhood to turn their stock ont;
the neighbors requested him to agree to let
the stock ruin out and he told them that he
could not do so and keep up his farm; at
that time Mr. Cole claims. that be hal Is or
100 bushels of peas in his field; that for the
past three Years he has been damaged fully
S100 by the nelghbors stock. Slr. Cole is
naturally Very indignant and although
neighborS should try to work to help each
other and one man in q neichborh Hod
should not obstruct the desires Of the others,
there is Il law on the Statute books that
protects c:tiz-n against people who take
.ae law in their own hands.
