superintendent of Hickory Grove Or
phanage, passed through the city this
this morning on his way from Clinton,
where he has been attending the con-
ference of orphans home managers,

the Second South Carolina Volunteer
infantry are free citizens once more.
The regiment was mustered out in
Augusta Wednesday. Captain w. F.
Crawford, of Company F, came direct
ly home and met his friends on the
streets Thursday morning. Some of
the boys came with him, while others
stopped over in Columbia, Lieutenant
Howe amongst the number. We are
glad to see the boys home and may
they never be called on again to leave
their homes in defense of their coun-
try. Alas some who went away and
answered to the first roll call, were
not there at the last sounding of the
bugle but have gone to answer to
their names in the great martial array
of eternity. ..'.''..'Last Tuesday after
noon Mr.. Jas. Saye, of Rodman, had
his attention attracted to commotion
among the cows, which seemed to be
trying to persuade some enemy to de-
part these coasts. Taking his gun be
went out to see what the row was
about, and found what looked like a
buzzard. He was about to shoot but
his little boy, who was along, suggested
that he ought not to shoot buzzard
1--we will warrant that's good boy }
When the bird spread its great wings
81 feet to fly, he shot and it fell ap'
parently dead but it revived and he
thinks is not badly hurt. 1t was
wounded about the back of the neck
1t proved to he a gray eagle. Mr.
Saye will probably bring it to the city
soon to be seen by persons who have
never seen an eagle.
