A Washington despatch says that John J. Patterson is lying ill in that city, and his recovery is doubtful. We regret to learn that Willie, son of J. T. W. Stitt, Esq., of this county, d,ed on Wednesday last from diphtheria. He was about three years of ago. Remember the gold-headed cano that is to be awarded to the most popular gentleman in the county. The votingS will tako place on Mon day and Tucsday evonings. In the United States Court, in the caso of Harvey Terry vs. The Planter's Bank of Fairficld, a motion was 1mde to set aside the demurror. Tho case was continued. Dr. I. B. 11anahan, having do terminod to locate permanently in Winnsboro, has moved his family to this place. Dr. HIanalhan has been in Vinnsboro since last spring and has mado largo number of friends. Socially aud professionally, he is an acquisition to th'o county. Among the important measures passed in the Legislature wero the postponement of delinquent tax sales to the first Monday in Feb ruary, and the ratification of the school amendmont, keeping the school money in the different coun ties. This will confer great benefit on Fairfleld. The schools will soon be opened now. The Register, in connection with TiE NEWS AND HM.AL's aidvocaey of the Molffett Bell punch, mildly insinuates something about "hot scotches" in tho cold nights of last winter. The Register forgets that, only by the imbibition of such mild beverages during those troublous days could the average citizen secure a perfection of b)inocular vision rcquisite to a just appreciation of the mysteries of dual government. And what more n-rtural thanthat the ringing in one's head the succeed ing morning, should suggest the tintinnabulations of the Moffett bell punllch ? THlE PLAwrT MERcURY.-The $par tan burg Ilerald contains the followvN ing, wvhich we refer to the juvenile astroners of Winnsboro: Copernicu--, the great astrono~ moer, regretted on his death hed that he had never soon the lanet Mercury. Any keen%oy 'd boy in our county can see it for a few nip;hts lbefore and after Cihristmas thius year. Christms night will be the best night, as the planet will then be farthest from the sun. But you may begin to look for it a week or more before that date. About one--half hour after sunset look low dowvn in the south-west in a line be.. tweon where the sun sets now and the evening planet Venus. Mer.. cury neover lingers long behind the sun, andl for this reason it is not often seen. He is a brilliant, Ilash ing little fellow. Planets usually do not twinkle, but he may perhaps seem to you to twinkle, and ho is Ro near the horizon. If you have a clear horizon towvards the south west, you may see this rare showv for nothing. Will some boy or girl who never has seen Morocury, hunt him up, and tell us through the llerald about it ? If he wvishes any more "out dloor lessons," let him give proof of it. The p)lanet sets a little more than an hour aftbr the sun. On Christmas night Mercury and Venus are about twventy- five degrees alpart. Remember that Christmas is at hand. Remember also that among the features of the holidays will be the Festival and Christmas Tree, and tableaux and musicale for the benefit of the Gordon Light Infantry, of Winnsboro. This com pany is composed of the best mate rial, and all it needs to make it one is the uniform and arms, the latter of which will come from the State, and the formor to be supplied by the membors themselves. It is for the purposo of aiding the members in this respect that the ladies have devised a mammoth entertainment. In the ranks are husbands, sons, brothers, cousins, friends and, perhaps, "nearer ones still and dearer ones yet than all others." And they all look handsomer and more killing in their close fitting coats of gray or blue, adorned with lace, and splashed with buttons and sarmountod by the gorgeous epaulette and the nobby pompon. The ladies then are bound to see that they have them. For over a week fair hands and skillful fingers have been deftly decorating the Thespian Hall, and transforming its bare, walls into fairy bowers, while a program me, varied and attractive, has been prepared. The fair will open on Christmas Eve, with the perennial Christmas Tree, whose branches, though withered through summer, bloom afresh with every recurring anniversary of that joyous occasion. There will be presents for all; from the graybeard to the infant. Big, little, old and young will be remembered. Nor will the creature comforts of man be for gotten. While the young ladies are flitting about like houris, or fairies, or Hebes, or anything else that is utterly enchanting, and are vend ing odoriferous nosegays and ethereal pin-cushions, or beguiling the possessors of a no. 10 foot into tWe investment of no. 5 slippers, the matrons and their assistants will serve the savory turkey, or the toothsome salad or the succulent bivalve, with the accompaniments and condiments, in exchange for the crisp greenback, or the bright silver dollar of our daddies, or even ths "promises to pay" of our sister cities of Chester and Camden. In addition there will be an elegant gold-headed ebony cane, just from Charleston. which will be voted to the most popular man in the coun ty. In order to obviate a rush, tickets of admission to the Christ, mas Tree, costing a quarter, will be sold previously at the stores of McMaster & Brice and Connor & Chandler's For this entertainment the doors will be open at 6 o'clock, On Christmas day, a dinner em..% bracing every variety of substantial and de:ieacy will be served at the Thespian Hall for the temptingly low sum of fifty cents. On Christmas night, the lovers of the p)icturesque and beautiful will have the opportunity of wit-. nessing a series of effective tableaux, gotten up by the same management that has always, heretofore, been so successful. The whole entertainment em-. braces a series of attractive fea.. tures ; and it cannot fail to attract large crowds ; and, what is of more importance, to realize a large amount for the comruendable object in furtherance of which it has been devised. r fHE House and Lot belonging to the est ato of .J.
