Thoru ii arrears fer'eubscriptions must sottle at once, o expect their papers t be stopped forthwith. We are informed that the county .cOnllssioners have concluded- lot to attempt, the levy of a tax for county purposes. This action is quite senible..: It..was unwise and .Iunnecsary, in the first instance, to go through the form of doing an act for which it is very doubtful that there is any legal sanction. It is the opinion of sotp)o of the ablest jurists in South Carolina that the county comlmissionere have no goner al authority to levy tamc3;, hu tn .t s derive such authority through a positive enactment of the Legis lature. There is now pending in the Supreme Court a case involving this right, and it is expected that there will be gi early settlement of the matter. .Until such sottlenent it is certainly the pat of wisdom for the county conlimssioners tp aftenupt no levy pf taxes whatever.

Owens' formor va!et, was tried and -convict ed in the circuit court of Richland for having robbedl his master of a large sum of ioney. Thiejudge had Spry brought up <before him for sentence, and after going thirough' the usual useless lecture which is generally administered to felons by American courts, sentonced the prisoner to serve the State for iv~e years in the poenitentiary. -The sors tence of the court had hardly been pronunced when~i the prisonci:, who seemed to be completely ovgreomb. by his conviction, burst into tears and began to beowail Is hard fate, and protested his innocence, Sudden ly he wvas seen to fall from his chhir, when one of the officers of 'the cou-t announced that lie hed: cut h1 throat. Upon examination, it was discovered that Spry ha4 drabwn a p~enknlife almost completely arorid his neck, and across the jugular vein,1 but was not fatally injured, as the knife had severedinone of the artor-ies, A physician was sent for, wvho sewed up tihe ghastly gashes upon tile man's nieck.
