Since writing the nbove we learn that M. W. H. Girardeau has received the appointment. This is a most excellent choice, and will give en tire satisfaction to the people of the County. A serenading party was out on Tuesday night. There is something in the wind. Men never do such things purely to exercise their vocal organs. There's love nbout there somewhere There is a certain unpharisaieal gentleman who holds forth on the North side of Ma n street, who is exceedingly fond of bard boiled eggs. He has an original way of cooking them.

There were three or four Union Soldiers shot at BranchviHe, in 1864, and arc buried between that place and Edisto river in an old field. As their graves have never been disturbed, we suppose what is left of them still re mains in the small spot of earth as signed to them by the men who bu ried their bodies.

We are requested by Samuel Dibble Esq., Chairman of the Commissioners of Election, to announce that he has received a part of the money to pay the expenses of the last General Flec tion.

There is a certain gentleman in ?iangeburg whose general demeanor and style of dress, are sufficient to be tray his desire to splice himself. He patronizes the bnrbcr regularly, goes to church every Sunday, sits away up near the pulpit, has quit drinking whiskey and, it is said, contemplates taking charge of a Sunday School. He is never heard to swear any more, and goes as neat as a pin. Of course the young ladies will notice and ap prove of all this, for? "Can auch things he, And overcome them like a Hummer's cloud Without their special wonder?" SHOES FOR TUE COUNTY? Mr. G. W. Prunson, one of Mr. Cornclson's frump cards, showed us through his sh c department the oth er day. To say that he has shoes for the people, is just'tho idea, and the manner in which Brunsen expressed himself to us. Ho has boots, shoes, gait?rs, (hand made) of all stzss, styles and prices. The farmer, who wants a substantial pieco of work to cov.r his foot, and the young swain, or lassie, who always prefer looks to anything else, can all bo suited at Cornclson's. Mr. G's stock of dry goods, groceries, &c., &c., is complete. But his supply of boots and shoes arc, par excellence, tho best in tho Burg. If nny one doubts what wc have to say 'about it, let. them call on Mr. Brunsen and nsk to be shown that stock of shoes for the people. Mr. C. D. K. got mad the other day, and thrcatend to break up keep ing store because our devil slipped in a line or two last week, charging him with having purchased a quantity of dream books. I)ick had no dream, and bought no books. He is n quiet, prosy old gentleman, and doesn't believe in woman's rights, the use of chignons,. switches, or any thing not given to her by nature. He is against all innovations, and says that newspapers should never be used to supply any natural deficiency in either man or woman. TO OPEN A NEW STREET.
