Dr. A. M. Suider's dwelling was entered by a robber on Tuesday night the 31st ult, and a lot of children's clothing and other property stolen. It was again entered Tuesday night the 7th inst. and his wife's best dresses were selected and carried away. Both acts we? committed while his family were at tea. The Dr. was away. SHUETZEN VEREIN, COLUMBIA? We acknowledge with pleasure an invitation from this Society to partici pate in their "Fest" to be held in that city on the 12, 13 and 14 of October, A two inch cable could net tie us away from that place, if wc can possibly go. We have lots of Germans here, and we know what tluy arc, when they make up their minds to enjoy themselves, and make their guests do it too. SIGNS OF THE TIm7:S-^~ We see that Briggmann & Hcnckcr, have a new sign, painted over the door of their handsome store on Mcroncya old corner, the sign looks well, but does not look half as well as the stock inside, or one quar ter as well as it will look when they load up with their fall stock as they expect to do pretty soon now. David Crocket "grinned" a bear out of a tree, but John English can whistle a quar ter out of your pocket in half the lime. - in n-iiiMwuiii ii r r" j Just as Senator Andrews predicted, tho two negroes upon whose affidavits Joe Crews'aufl his son Adam were, nrrestcd, for the killing of Schell in Laurens county, now ccme forward nnd swear.thatrit was-through intimi dations and liberal odors of rewards thai tiicy were induced to sweur that Joe and his son bribed them to do the foil* deed. 'Judge xVfr. Mfrckcy heard the case under a writ of habeas corpus nnd discharged both of the colored men. ? . j , j j - \ EXCITEMENT IN NEW YORK? 'We are ^ informed : by n reliable gentleman,, that: there is n nervous, and unsteady feeding, caused in the New York markets, on account of the heavy purchases being made by our "mutual friend*' Jno. M. Dnnner. who is buying a fufl strjuk for Mr. CJco. II. CornelsOn.' 'il ls bad enough' for Mr. Cornclsoni. to. cxcjte the .. people of Onihgoburg county, by his handsome display of stock, and low prices, but to 'iend Donner on to stir up the New Yorkers is very reprehensible. ELECTION? AVe publish to-day n ticket for Mayor and Aldermen that we cordi ally rocominoud to the favor of our fellow-citizens. The gentlemen are all too well known, to require any praise at.our hands, upright, Hobest; sober and .successful business men, they must make good officers if elec ted. They |ia.ve done a great deal to build up the tow:', nnd it would be n graceful acknowledgment of the fact, to jmt the-care of the town in their bands for the next two years. THE STREETS^ Is it not about t-inic, that the Town Council began to look after the miser able condition of the sidewalks from Court house square down. Lumber, bricks, old iron, piles of dirt, and n variety of other matter obstruct the way. And now that the business sea son is -opening, foot passengers want a clear road to travel over, as it is, you have to climb overn pile ol dirt, twist your ankle in going through a lot of brickbats, stop on a pi^cc of hoop that jumps tip and hits you on the shin, and then he cure..'til tlmt you do not fall over u piece of timber. Why arc these things thus? CO CUT UO CSE? At n meeting-of the* County Com missioners held on Monday last., it was determined to front the new Court House; oa Main,-or | Kussel I street. We congratulate the Com missioners on their good taste, and the wisdom of'their choice. In that posi tion it, will not only show off to much better advantage, but will be far more convenient to all parties having busi ness there, tho matter being now de cided, we hope that the contractors will push on the work ns rapidly as possible. Orangcburg needs this building badly, and the citizens are impatient tosco the work completed. RACE NOTES? A match was made tip on Monday last, between "Mollie Darling" and the "Orangcburg Maid" fa trot from Engine house to rail road and up the new back street to Engine house again, the race was pretty close until towards the home stretch, then Mollie's driver threw out his tobacco, gave a war whoop,and straightened upon the lines, tho Dulling came in just oue minute, thirteen and a quarter seconds ahead of the Maid, If there is any last horse around this neighborhood, Mol? lie would like to interview he, she or it. If Bonner had time to bring Dexter down here we believe Mollie's owner would trot her against him. HOMICIDE? Two colored men, January Evans and Harvey Cousar, on Fry & Kce lib's turpentine farm, about five miles frcm this place, between whom there had been ill blood for tomcttriio past, bad an encounter on Saturday night Inst, which resulted in the dealli of Janua ry Evans, who was stabbed five times by Cousar. It is said that January and another, had sworn to kill Cousar, and had hunted him up for that pur pose, and Oousar in defending himself inflicted the wounds. Ho fled, and has not been yet arrested. Cause of all ibis mischief, "woman." Wo get the above facts from Coroner Ford ham, who held the inquest. _, i ?-T THE SIDEWALKS? Cannot the Town Marshal put a stop to this nuisance of horses and mules occupying the sidewalks ? day after day numbers of them are stretch ed ncrus'i it, and passers by, particu larly Indies and children, are com pel led to resort to the street to get around. There is au ordinance we believe, forbidding horses being car ried on the s/dewalks, and there npr pears very little difference between putting a horse there intentionally, and tying him just on the edge nnd allowing him to go o'i himself. The ladies declare that the other half of humanity shall not vote for this Council again; unless this thing is stopped. II ?I - - ? tll.M ? It OME A GA IX? We h?Ul the pleasure on Thursday of .-haking a "howdio do" with two of our townsmen who have for the past month, been enjoy'ng the various pleasures of "a trip North." Col. W. J. DcTrcvillc comes back with every evidence of having been well fed, and carefully looked after. If we were in his place we would spend "a month North" every week or two. Mr. C. B. Glover also puts in an appearance, and judging from bis "keltcr" we don't know but what he ought to do the same thing, he looks as if he was just in trim to ruu that office of his, und we would not fall into his clutches now for all the snakes in Ireland. We give th:m a warm welcome home. BASIS HALL? The Oranges have challenged the Athletics, of Aikcn, to a trial game, which has 1 ecn accepted, and it will be played on the grounds of the Oranges at this place; on Tuesday next. Success to our boys. This is the last game the Oranges propose to play this season and we hope they may retire victors. \Yc d'so learn that the Union Club from the neighborhood of Easterlies Mills have challenged a "catch nine" from this place, and thai Ute trial of skill will take place here on Thurs day next. Almost all of our Drange burg players are good, and while we do not know who our nine are, we expect a good account from them. Ml I III ? ? > ? i - HOARD OF EXAMINERS? The County Board of Examiners, held a meeting here on Monday las?, to examine parties applying for the positions of teachers. We learn that the examination was very rigid, and that while over fifty applicants were examined, a great many, warned by the ? diu res of those who had gone before, quietly took the back track for home to hunt up their old school hooks from whith they had formerly gleaned their knowledge of Pntholognomy, Astron omy, Quantification Mineralization &C CYC. Wo do not mean to poke fun at the Board, they did their work well and thoroughly, nnd many applicants went off, believing that to be a teacher now, they were required to know a little more than they bad dreamed of in their Philosophy. This is, as it aught to be. COOX HUNT E'cven enthusiasticsportstnen, with sixteen dogs, started out a few nights since for a good old fashioned coon hunt in the river swamp. Wearily they trudged along, tho night was passing rapidly away, and no sight or smell of coon, to cheer either'men or dogs. They had wandered far into the swamp, and began to feel home sick, when suddenly the well known yelp was heard, and sure enough the whole pack had n big coon safely treed, but how to gel him out? the trco was an enormous ouc, but they buckled loo at it with their axe, and after an hours hard work down it came, and every one rushed for the coon, he was not however tobeliad that way, and made off, rapidly followed by men and dogs. In a few minutes after, that coon was entirely uninter esting to that party, for eleven men and sixteen dogs were fighting mud nnd water and each other, in a large gully into which they had fallen, fin ally they got out, some on one side, some on the other, some nil about, each one started in a separate direc tion for home. One of the party found his way there, and sent a rescu ing party out with lanterns to hunt up the rest. All got home before day light, but if you say "coon" to one ofj them now look out for "assault and battery," YAHOO CLUB? ?STATION NO. 2. At a regular meeting held at this Stntion President Gnberlunzic took the chair, and sat down remarking "ough." The Secretary tried to sharpen his wits nnd his pencil, when the old captain rose majestically, and remarked ;n a very incoherent ramb ling, and highfuluting way, that Fritz wanted to be steward of this club, so they let Fritz be. The Capt ain continuing in his usual lucid and incomprehensible style, proposed the initiation of new members, "Smiling Gus" in his customary idiotic way tried to dip in here, but Gubcrlunzic squashed him and "Smiley" hung him self up to a limb of a scrub oak to lis ten, (Fritzand "Sandhnss" now put in like the old Scratch v/ns af'cr them, and would hold to the one who talked Last, Fritz beat, butSandhass was not taken, he can be . nsily found when wanted. Every body took sadawatcr, and the meeting began again) the Swede arose to explain, but somebody pushed him, and he sat down in the grass, and wiped his eyes, and blew nose. The President then sent nil'a committee of three to arrange for the initiation ol the candidates, while they were gone Smiley ran away with the keg of sudawoter, caught a subl-j gentleman, persuaded him to get on all fours, put the keg on his back, and dispensed the sparkling fluid. The committee cn;nc out of the woods, the "stand" got up, louk a glass, wiped his mouth on his slcave and walked off, committee reported ducking candi dates, they objected, nnd other arrange incuts were made. Fritz then picked up the Swede and started for tho pond, Swede .objected, and both laid down in a gully. The President jumped out of his chair, and Sand bass jumped in it, cu led the meeting to order and held the club spell bound for half hour, with one of hi* usual charmingly imbecile, and sweetly ambiguous spcachcR, delivered in his well known uninteresting way. Once the score tnry suggested to "shut up," but every body said hush?h-h, and he hushed, them, the tall Yahoo said, now I dem you keep still, and he kept still. At the conclusion of the oration, several remarks were made in high dutch, all appropriate to the occasion, at least the secretary thought so, but don't understand dutch, then everybody addressed the meeting in low English and the secretary wrote with both hands but could not keep up, then Gabtrhiuzic j' rked Saudhass out of the chair, and resumed, or tried to, but Fritz, Saudhass and the tall Ya hoo, laid out on the gras? and sang a melting little piece of nursery Rhyme, the club gavo them three cheers and advised them to get up oil'the grass for fear of cold (this wos sarcastic.) Busi ness resumed. Candidate No. 1 was asleep, and No. 2 was eating a piece of bread ond ham, turned the wrong way toward hiii'? Young Germany said he wanted to go home, climbed up in his buggie felt all over the dash board for tho reins, and swore ho had just harnessed the hoi so to that bug gio, (then every body began to do some thing and say something, somo talked American, some German, some Swced ish, some all sorts, wo repeated one of Cicero's orations.) The club adjourn cd at 4 o'clock subject to the call of old Gaberlun/.ic. Arn JFVWl. Dkark Fmknd Thanks for interest, information nnd ad rice. I nm not likely to be yoked with any one in a yenr. .Excuse me if I decline to accept it in such daht ful .shape. If you can give me FACTS and PROOFS against hi* moral character I never will be yoked with him, but as I cousider iLo serious matter and no childs play. I nturt hnve distinct charges against his mornl character and the PROOFS. If I am answering you as I feel sure I am ^ou will understand me, if not, all right. A gentleman of this town received the above letter a few days since, and as it is perfectly incomprehensible to him, he has left it with us, in ease the writer desires to reclaim it.
