Dr. Stuart met with a severe loss last Tuesday in the death of his valuable colt Nellie. The horse was just three years j old and yave promise of possessing extraordinary speed and all the qualities that go to make a roadster of no cotuinon order. *4^* Mr. Geo. C.

Mr. Kirby is suffering from a paralytic stroke and wc are glad to hear that he has so far recovered as to return to his duties. An extra train running from Port Royal towards Augusta Thursday evening, on the Port Royal Railroad, wh"n near Yemassce, ran into a drove of cattle killing several of ihcm and causing seven cars loaded with phosphate to leave the track and almost demolishing some of them. I ^ I Mr. Sams has received orders from Comptroller General Hagood to close the 1 1?l tkn tan har (>nnf tflY HPYt Wed UUOKSiur me j>v. nesday the 28th instant. 1 A good many who have intended pay- ( lng this tax have delayed doing so until how and but a few days now remain for their accommodat:on. The success which attended Pilot John 1 O'Brien who took out the Bark Australia a few days ago, goes to show that 1 good depth of water can be found when I competent pilots are in charge. The Australia with a load of lumber from Bobbins, Boddington and Co s. j mill drew 19ft. 9 inches, and was taker. < to sea by Mr. O'Brien who has recently < been made a full branch pilot for Port < Boyal bar. ? I ^ The report that the Powhattan was 1 bound for Port Boyal to tow the Dietato* to Norfolk is dent d by those who ought ( to know. It is very doubtful if all the small monitors go to Savannah as it is hardly sate for them to go outside with- ! out a convoy and there is no vessel here ^ now to accompany them that could render 1 any assistance if anything should happen 1 ou the way. 1 ?? ? t The coroner's jury* in the MeTntire murder case met at Hilton Head yestcr j day, and will probably n ?w adjourn as j no evidence has been obtairted shnwinc < who were the. guilty parties. There is j ] much oireuuistanria) evidence but notli j : ing definite enough to fastci the guilt on ; t any person. The three men who were : arrcs'c 1 nt the tiiue of the murder are j . s*ill in jail'- and doubtless know more J r about the affair than any one else and it j [ is hoped that thev will yet tell the story of this atrocious crime. During the pa?t wee'; Dr. Wilder lias collected fioiu 160 tax} avers the sum of 5 $969.24. Had commendable promptness I been shown in the preparation of the tax c duplicate, the above receipts would seem r to indicate that sufficient funds might by this time have been on hand to have paid \ p the urgent expenses of the county, and t the just claims for which the county tax q is levied, j Dr. Wilder will be at Saml. Green's store on Ladies Island to-inorrow, and on t St. Helena next Tuesday to receive taxes, j ^ One of the first acts of the Governor ^ should be to extend his protection to t commerce by stirring up the Board of r Pilot Commissioners at this place so that } they will not overlook accidents to ves- ^ sels in the hands of incompetent pilots, j Only a week ago a vessel was put ashore ( at a point where a professional pilot c wnnld hftvp hppn at hia nnat. instead of in 1 .. .. , the cabin taking a drink, as was the case. [ t No suspension has followed this in- ] exctisab'e and criminal carelessness and it j will probably be passed over without any ] action being taken to prevent drunken 2 pilots from bringing our port into disrepute. ] The County Commissioners succeeded ' in raising some money last week to e nable Sheriff Wilson to take the prisoners sentenced at the last terra of Court, to 1 t Columbia. On Thursday Mr. Wilson left with his wards numbering thirteen ^ and lodged thetu safely with Col. Par- j melee. Thi^ will be quite a relief to the county as subsistence cost $5.20 per day and a greater relief to the Sheriff who is f obliged to feed his prisoners without any prospect of getting his pay for a long | time to come. The following is a list of the convicts : Peter Holmes, Paui Holmes, Brister Holmes, Roberj Brown and George .

Miss Fannie Hayes, the daughter of President Hayes, who will occupy such a prominent place in Washington society for the next four years, is a very pretty brunette, of medium height, and a very fine figure, and is about nineteen years of age. She is very bright and intelligent, a good conversationalist, and will make a decided sensation in society. The appoiutment of Mr. Stone as Unted States attorney for South Carolina was not, says the N. Y.

Bishop Howe, on Sunday last, administered the rite ot confirmation in St. ; Thaddeus Church Aiken, to five persons j one of whom was colored. Gov. Chamberlain has addressed a noie to the Journal of Commerce denying the ! report that he has made arrangements to enter a law firm in New York. Judge Cooke says that if Ilampion is not recognized as Governor he intends to be both Judge ami Governor of the Eighth Circuit. The " election in Barnwell County passed off quietly, and Colonel T. J. founts was unanimously elected to th e State Senate, in the place of the late Senator, Williams. Col. William Butler lias been appointed by Governor Hampton Chief Constable of the State. Col. Butler before the war was an officer in the United States army, and served as Colonel in the Confederate army.
