Rev. F. C. Hickson preached an admirable
sermon in the Baptist Church on Sunday
night.
The County Sunday School Convention
meets in the Baptists Church on Friday next
at ll A. M.
- The examination of teachers for our County
Schools is going on at the School Commission?
er's office-.
Sir. T. C. Scaffe has pul down two pumps
on the streets for public use at the instigation
of some of our citizens.
' There is some talk about having a tower j
built for the new Town Bell back of the Court
House.
A colored man was beard to say yesterday
on the streets "that be jast as leave die trying
to steal something to eat, as to die any other j
way."
The idea is growing that a competent fe?
male teacher is entitled to the same compen?
satio? that a male, teacher of similar grade
receives. Why not ?
Two of our sable-hued citizens were up be?
fore the Town Authorities yesterday for sun?
dry misdemeanors. The result was $3 00 in
the treasury. It don't pay to swear or lie j
drunken in the streets.
We are under renewed obligations to Mr.
A. A. Solomons for valuable New York pa?
pers. Among others be sends The Telegram,'
issued from the Herald office, the net proceeds
of which are a thousand dollars per week.
There were several immigrants on our
?streets last Saturday night, and by the
amount of trampoosing that was done, they
seemed disposed to know something of our
little burg before leaving it.
As will be seen by the notice, Prof. Agos
tiai who has opened a dancing school at Music
Hall, will give a Soiree on Thursday evening
to which the ladies and gentlemen ot Sumter
are invited. The Wilmington Review says of
him : Prof. Agcstini is a perfect gentleman
-and a thorough teacher.
New Advertisements.
We want to call your attention to the new
cards which appear in this issue. H. Schwerin
shows up a number one hand, and seems to !
' be in earnest about what he says. Mr. John j
Reid also comes to the front?n an ample style.
We learn thal the ladies are flocking to his
store, and we do not censure them for doing
so. Suppose you give him a twist also.
Harby Bros. have on hand fine Horse?,
j>rime Timothy Hay, a full line of Buggies j
and Wagons, and also Harness for same, j
They are expecting arrivals of Hay, Corn and
Oats by the Car load.

Theft.
Last Sunday morning between I and 2
?o'clock a colored man entered the bed-cham
rber of Mrs. J. T. Solomoos, and stole her Sue
gold watch off the bureau. The first thing
.the scoundrel did after he got into the room,
.was to push the wick of the candle down into
?the melted tallow, thus extinguishing the
flame- The thief, upon procuring the watch,
started for the window where he came in at,
and in going around the bed his foot struck
against something which woke Mrs. Solomons
whereupou she began screaming, to prevent
which the negro grabbed hol'd of Mrs. Solo?
mons' foot to scare her into silence, but she
continued to give the alarm of distress and
?he negro let go his hold and made his escape
t?roEgb the window.

School House Burned. a
The fire fiend seems to te raging foot-loose j
ia Mayesville. ?Ga Monday night of last
week the school house erected by private funds
for the use of Rev. M. L. BaU, was bnrued to
the ground. A building on tfee sasae spot,
erected for the same purpose, was burned
some months ago. The present building was
partly insured.
We are at a loss to know what this de
?t-raction means. If the building had been
j?ut up for evil purposes, there might be a
shadow of excuse. But as the matter stands,
it is truly enigmatical.
We learn that the parties concerned are
willing !o pay five hundred dollars for proof
to convict the guilty party, and also that
they intend now to erect a house that cannot
be bumed down.

OUR WILMINGTON CARDS.
-o
We invite the attention of our readers to
the cards of Wilmington business houses to be
found in our paper, and take pleasure in saj
ing that we have personally known the pro?
prietors of nearly all of them for a long time,
and have found them pleasant gentlemen, and
upright business men :
Those who want anything in the Hardware
and Iron line will find it at the store of
NATHANIEL JACOBI,
No. IO South Front Street. He sells at whole?
sale and retail, and has the Agency of the
Manufacturers of Cooking and Heating Stoves,
Sash, Doors, and Blinds and Paints and Oils.
A full assortment of French and American
Window Glass, of all sizes, will also be found
there. =>.
Those who have anything to sell or want to
buy anything will find their man in
D. L. GORE,
Wholesale Grocer and Commission Merchant,
Nos. 2 and 3 South Water Street. He deals
in Cotton, Naval Stores, Peanuts 4c, on
commission, and keeps a large stock of gro?
ceries.
There are, no doubt, many old established
households in need of refurnishing, as well as
some new beginners who want to know where
they can do the best for themselves.
PARKER & TAYLOR,
19 South Front Street, can suhply anything
from a Cooking Stove to a bird-cage. Tin?
ware they manufacture and sell at wholesale
as well as retail, and almost anything want?
ed, in the Housefurnishing line, you can safe?
ly order it from them.
H. BRUNHILD & BRO.,
known^to all our merchants as wholesale
dealers in Liquors, Tobacco and Cigars, have
lately gone into the Manufacture of Tobacco, ]
of all grades, and are proprietors of the Cape
Fear Tobacco Works. Many of our readers
will probably be surprised to learn the extent
of these works. They give employment to
140 hands, use steam power, and turn out
4500 pounds of tobacco daily.
B. F. MITCHELL k SON
have a large stock choice grades of Flour of
their own manufacture, Meal, Hominy, and
Cracked Corn, also selected seed Oats, Rye
and Wheat, all of which they will sell at j
lowest market prices, guaranteeing quality,
and deliver at Railroad free of drayage.
KERCHNER & CALDER BROS.
Cotton Factors and Wholesale Grocers, are j
prepared at all time's to supply in any quan?
tity Bagging, Ties, Twine, Groceries and
Provisions. On Consignments of Cotton they
make liberal advances and prompt returns.
They also* deal in the Celebrated Wilson,
Chi?d3 & Co.'s Wagons, at manufacturers'
prices.
Some of the supposed lost, around Savan?
nah are straggling in with fearful accounts of
hair-breadth escapes. This ?3 so much better
than being drowned.
The party who accompanied the Pres?
ident, exclusive of railroad attacbes,
consisted of twenty persons as follows :
Mrs. Garfield and their daughter Mollie,
Drs. Bliss, Agnew, Barnes, Woodward
and Reyburn, Colonel and Mrs. Rock?
well and their daughter Lula, General
Swaitn, Colonel Corbin, Private Secre?
tary Brown, Dr. Boynton, Mrs. Dr.
Edison, C. 0. Rockwell and Warren
Young. Three colored servants, Dan?
iel Sprigg, Mary White and Elizabeth
Guttier, also accompanied the party.

FEARFUL FOREST FIRES.
Whole Counties in Michigan Laid
Waste.
Five Hundred People Burned to death
Heartrending Scenes end Incidents
of the Terrible Conflagration.
Terrible fires raged last week in
;he woods of Michigan and Canada.
The long-continued drouth had ren
iered everthing as dry as tinder, and
lumerous "flashings'7 of partly-clear
id tracks of land, covered with brush,
?ecayed timber and other inflamma?
ble materials, afforded the best possi?
ble medium for the rapid spread of
lames carried by the high winds
vhich prevailed. Sanilac and Huron,
:ounties, lying on the shore of Lake
[Iuron, between Port Huron and
Saginaw Bay, were the scenes of the
greatest destruction.
The following telegraphic despatch
?viii give some idea of ihe terrible
condition of affairs.
DETROIT, September 9.-The loss
>f life and property is immense. Dead
jodies are being brought in from all i
lirections. It is estimated that five
tundred human beings have perished
ind that five thousand are homeless
md in want of immediate assist
mce.
Details continue to come in relative
o the destruction by forest
ires. Huron and Salinac Counties
lave been the principal theatre of .
lestruction and suffering. Eye-wit
icses state that darkness and a cop?
ier colored sky preceded the ap
>roach of thc fire. Later the sky
?hanged to a deep red. On Monday
ifternoon it became so dark that
anteras were necessary tor people
0 fiud their way. This condition of
flairs continued until S o'clock on
.Vednesday morning, when the wind
hifted from west to north, cooling
he air and bringing a slight relief,
n the woods were many scorched
nd charred bodies which presented a
evolting appearance. The high
vinds that prevailad cut off nearly
jvery avenue of escape, and large
?urning masses would be lifted up
lodily and borne along for a great
listance. In many instances these
?urning mases started fires in fresh
ilaces. Thc skill and courage of man
eemed impotent to combat with such
lames, and the flying people were i
aught in fire traps and roasted,
hie farmer was ploughing with his
xen a few miles from ??and Beach
nd preceiving the approaching dark
ess he started for his house. On
eaching home he found that his wife
ad gone to a neighbor's, lie then
ook two of his children, his eldest
laughter taking three others. Before
;oing many rods they found them
elves cut off by the flames. The
armer then turned in another direc- j
ion and escaped with two children. I
lis daughter and the other three
hildreu wer? found next day all in a
tap, charred bey?.*?d recognition.
Fp to Wednesday night forty-five
odies had been found within a mile
1 Paris Township.
Many ave missing? most of then! \
oles. The whole settlement, build- j |
igs, fences, shops, &C-, were swegit
eau. InDelawar?TOwu??::0- ^l
cante County, there is hardly any
thing left, not one house to the square
mile. They were new settlers and
had small clearings, and the fire swept
them like a hurricane. The shore
line has been crowded with human
beings, cattle and everything that
could get to the water. Eye-witness?
es from Forestville say that the
utmost confusion prevails. Many
could not see ; and one man who had
lost his all was both blind and crazy
and had to be led to the lake.
North of Saniiac the fire on Mon?
day night was terrible, sweeping
away almost everything, but it
seemed to leave the houses.
The people here did not know any
fire was near them until it was on
them, and they had to run for the
lake, and being but a short distance
away al? reached it safely. A Jaree
party of men have gone to bury the
dead b?dies. In Forester Township
many are so blind they had to be led,
and many are without food. A num?
ber of parties have gone with food,
clothing 6hoes and medicine. More
help must come quick, as much suffer?
ing will ensue. They have no flour
or provisions.
Geo. Ferguson, of White Rock,
who has been on the road since Mon?
day, reports that he has seen 116 j
burned bodies. At one place lie saw
four wagons bearing eight coffins
with one man walking behind all j
alone. It was his family.
