Pire i Fire ! Fire !
Just as we were about to go to press, our
editorial equilibrium was uusettied by the
cry of fire, under our window, and the wild
and furious tintinnabul ttion of the town bell.
A speedy flight of our citizens up Main Street
indicated the direction of the catastrophe.
An investigation revealed the fact that Mr.
Sheriff Wilder's kitchen had ignited from lb:
stove Sue ; but the Sre was extinguished be?
fore much harm was done. The fire compa?
nies turned out all the same, and made a fuss
just like there was a genuine conflagration.
Our Consolidaci?n.
A good many newspapers over the .State
?ave given editorial notices of our consolida?

their flattering notices : but we must for this
time forbear, siuce wc have an idea that we
an get up better and more useful reading
l natter for our natrons.
Repairs.
' " The elstern, in front of Furstenburg's store
Which has been furnishing very doubtful
water for some time, is now undergoing

The exact spot for the depot has not yet

Suicide.
On Frida}* last the citizens of Manning
vere startled at the announcement that Mr.
C. F. Stafford, better known te many by the
name ot Jack Stafford, had committed suicide
by shooting himself through the head with a
revolver.
Before shooting himself he placed a roil of
money containing three hundred and some
odd dollars, on the mantle piece,- with a strip
of paper wrapped around it, on winch was
written, "Mr. Levi please give this to my
mother, and see if she gets the rest of my
effects."
ile had been sick for sometime, and So
other reason can be assigned for his suicide,
unless the fever which he had. had affected his
nervous system so mach as to cause temporary
insanity, and suffering intense pain, he shot
himself to get relief. This seems a little
probable as some years ago whet he was
down with fever, while living in Sumter, he
told his physician that unless he got better
he would shoot himself.
He was a young man, with fair business
prospects, and nothing by reason of financial
troubles could have caused so melancholy an
end.
The Piedmont Seminary.
We have received a very beat Prospect;;? of
ie Piedmont Female Seminary foi the Ses
n 'SI-32 The School is situated in Spar
urg, thc land of rolling hills, smiling
jd til H tug hi srg" water. Among i;s
rofessors we find two gentlemen and tivy
adies, our own Miss Girardeau among thc
umber. We do not feel that we are viola
ing truth or propriety in culling her "oar
own." She has been with us so long, has
made such a good impression both by her
social qualifications and by her ability as a
teacher, that now when we think of giving
her ur? we begin to realize what a loss the
community will sustain. We question wheth?
er many of the children of tin; tow:: will ever
again feel towards a teacher as they do to?
wards her. We can truthfully say to the
managers of the Piedmont Seminary that no?
where in the ra.ige of our acquaintance could
they have made a selection of any one better
qualified to teach the higher branches o?
English. Our best wishes shall attend her
in her new field of labor, and we trust ?he
will remember some times lo -end a Linc to the
?~Ytr<ircftM</u and Southron.
The Pi?mont Seminary is situated in a tiny
and healthy locality, bas an aide corps of
Instructors, luis a number of friends scattered
over the State, and we shall not be surprised
if it meets with eminent success in the future,
nor shall wc be surprised i.' ?orne of Miss
Girardeau's pupils follow her toSbartaubur".
New Cotton.
The first hale of new cottou conies from the
; farm of Mr. T. J. Tuomcy. lt weighed 51 o'
. Wis, and was ginned and packed by the Joint
Stock Company on the 10th inst., in 45 min
. mes. It was shipped to Robertson, Taylor ?
: Co., of Charleston.
i Mr. J. P. Phillips, of Providence, also ship
j ped, on thc 12tb, a 500 pound bale lo F, W.
: Wagner & Co, We learn that this cotton
; was planted on April 7th, and is green and
growing now.
Horse Stealing.
Last Friday night. Robert Winn, and three
other colored men whose mmes have not yt
' beta ascertained, went on the premises of Mr.
i .7. P. Thompson, of Stateburg with the inten
i lion of stealing :i fine iron-grey horse which
I belonged to his brother, but they were pre?
vented from carrying their intention into ef
! feet, as this much coveted animal was locked
; up in the stable, and the dogs kept np such
j a barking that they were afraid to make the
venture. They however, carried od'a marc.
; which a friend who was spending the night
with Mr. Tliompsor, had hitched near the
stable. Robert Winn started directly for
Camden with the mare, and the other parties
palled down the fence and drove away Mr.
Thompson's cuws. The last mentioned
parties made good their escape, but Robert
Winn acted so suspiciously in trying to sell
the marc at Mr. Bruce's stable, that the Chief
of Police was put cn his tracks, lie was ar?
rested and put in the guard house, and the
mare placed in Mr. Bruce's stables until Mr.
Thompson and his friend came and got her. j
Base Ball.
The match game played yesterday afternoon j
between thc Red Stockings of Camden, and i
the Palmettoes of Sumter, on the grounds of,
the latter, was one of unusual interest, being j
closely contested by both Clubs. The game,
was called ata little after three o'clock, the i
Pal meti?os at the bat.
During the first ?'art of thc game, and even ;
up to the seveuth inning, the Palmettoes .
scored ahead, and there was even reasonable
hope that the Palmettoes would sustain their ;
reputation, but too much confidence that
nothing short of victory was theirs caused
carelessness on their part, and consequently
defeat, as the game was too near its close for
for them to retrieve their loss.
At the end of the ninth inning the score j
stood 20 to 17 m favor of the Red Stockings, i
The Red Stockings showed gieat disciplin,
and elicited much applause from the specta?
tors.
It will be remembered that the Palmettoes
went to Camden, and played a match game I
on last Tuesday with the same club. The .
following is from the report of the Journal : ;
The Kershaw?, were a little ahead in the :
score until the 7th inning, when the Palmet?
toes caught up. Just at this time some ;
trouble arose as to the putting out-of the Pal- ?
mettoes. They had the bat when a fly was :
caught which put out two meu-one being ;
out before-and ail hands came in, believing j
that the side was out, but the umpire cried \
"one out," or something to that effect, say?
ing that he did not see tile other man putout. ;
Before matters could be settled, darkness 1
came on. and the game was closed, the score j
standing 12 to 12

VOICES FROM HEAVEN.

j We now shine in the light of Cod.
Iiis image Stamps our brow,
Through the shadow of Death our feet have
trod.
And we dwell in glory now.
; No breaking heart is here,
i Np keen and thrilling pain.
No wasted cheek where .the burning lear
: Hath rolled and left its stain.
We have found. ! ht-joys of Heaven.
; We are numbered with angel bands. ?
! To our heads crowns are give:!,
Arni harps within Oar hands.
We have learned the song they sing
Whom Jehovah hath made free,
And the glorious walls of Heaven now ring.
With our new-born melody.
Nosin, no grief, no pain,
Safe in our happy home,
Our fears ail lied, our doubts all slain,
Our hear of triumph come.
(?li ! friends of our mortal tears
The trusted and the true.
Von are walking still in the Vale of Tears,
Hut we wait to welcome you.
Do we forget? Oh ! no.
For memory's golden chain
Shall bind our hearts to thehearl3 below
Till they meet and touch again.
Each link is Strong and bright,
While Love's electric flame
Flows freely down, like a river of light,
To the World from whence we came.
Do you mourn when other stars
Shine out in the glorious sky ?
Do you weep when the voice of wars
And the rage of conflicts die?
Why then should your tears roll down
Or your hearts bc so sorely riven ?
For to other new gems are given a crown
And our happy souls are in Heaven.
