A Scotch university professor, lrrl-
tated to find that his students had
cot into the habit of placing their
hats ard canes on his desk instead OF
in the cloakroom, announced that the
next article Of the kind placed there
would be destroyed. Some days
later the professor was called for a
moment from the classroom. A
student slipped into his private room
and emerged with the professor s
hat, which he placed conspicuously
on the desk, while his fellows grinned
and trembled. The professor, on
returning, saw the hat, thought
some rasLly obstinate student bad
been delivered into his hands, and
taking ou! his knife, he cut the Of
Tending article to pieces, while Vainly
attempting to conceal the smile o.
triumph that played about his coun
tenarce. He was in a very bac
temper the next day.

There WAS terrible and fatal &C
cident on the Columbis, Ne cherry
and Laurens Railroad, on TIE Broad
river bridge, near Columbia. last Sat-
urd4y Afternoon about 1:3O o'clock,
in which four mep, without mo-
ments waning, were hurled into
eternity.
The fearful accident occurred on
that part of the trestle where it
joins the steel bridge. When the
rock train, which went through the
t,estle, reached this point aud three
Of the fl 1t cars bad passed on to the
steel bridge the crash came. The
State, describing the horrolirg scene
at the wreckage says:
''The fearful accident was due to
no weakness Of the trestle work, but
to the deraliment or collapse of one
of The heavily laden rock cars, this
simply tearing down the trestle for a
distance of possibly 2AO feet. The
engine went with the FILLING trestle
and landed fully 200 feet from the
point where it left The trestle work
evidently being hurled through the
air as if from a cstapult."
The four lives lost were:
Engineer W. L. Weathersbee,
white, aged rs years.
Fireman Silas Rennick, colored, OF
Newberry.
Stewart Martin, colored, 16 years
Of age, of Alston.
j. S. Martin, about Is years old, Of
Aston.
Some years ago, Mr. Weathersbee
was section master on the Southern
road at this place, and married
Miss Busby at Red Bank, and is we'll
remembered by many fiiends, who
deeply sympathise with her in her
terrible affection.
A force of hands was at once put
to work on the wrecked bridge and
in the meantime the c., n. and L,
trains &C to and from Columbia over
the Southern tracks to Prosperity.

We have been Informed that on
last Friday a small size chicken was
heard in distress in the garden Of
Mrs. D. Job Hartman. After a short
search the chicken was found in the
mouth of very large frog which was
in the act of swallowing the chicken

having mysteriously disappeared
about the premises, it is supposed

sumptuously off the tender little
biddies. A hungry editor begrudges
his feast.
