A special dispatch to the News and Courier from Manning, March 2, says : All Manning is in sorrow at the death of one of her noblest and best men, Dr. George Allen Huggins, Sr., who departed this life at twelve minutes past 6 this afternoon after an illness of four weeks. He was one of the earliest settlers of the town, and one of ber prominent lawyers, being a partner of Geo. E. W. Moise, of Sumter. His funeral takes place to-morrow afternoon at 4 o'clock. The town bas suffered a severe loss, and the sor? row at bis untimely death is universal. Burnt to Death. Alice, a fourteen year old daughter of Mr. Wm. B. Norton of the Privateer neighbor? hood, died yesterday morning from the effects of burns received the day before while at work is her father's field with some others of the family. She was engaged in clearing off some dead cotton stalks when ber clothing caught fire from some burning grass. Peggy Richardson, an old colored woman living at Bloomhill had her clothing to take fire on last Monday and wa? so badly burned that she died yesterday. Fire On last Sunday afternoon Mrs. E. A. Brown's residence, situated about five miles North of Sumter, was burned to the ground. Only a few articles of little value to the family were saved. The entire contents of the bouse, with this exception, including the family groceries and $22 in money, w?re lott in the flames. Mrs. Brown also lost her bug? gy shed, her buggy harness, and plow gear by the fire.

Before his departure for Bishopville where he will deliver an address on to-morrow. He visited the Public Free School. Monte Cristo. The Monte Cristo Company was greeted by a large audience io Music Hall on last evening. The Drama was well rendered and took immensely with most of the audience. We most say, however, that the "startling sensation," which was revealed in the Fourth Act, was unpleasantly startling to those who do not favor the introduction of a scene which smacks of a Paris Code of morals. The Wednesday Club. The Wednesday Club met at the residence of Mr. Perry Moses on last Tuesday evening. Wednesday oight was the regularly appointed time, but in consequence of other entertain? ments in town for that evening, the date was changed. Mrs. Elizabeth Barrett Browning was the author discussed. Mr. Walter I. Harby read a very interesting and well prepared sketch of the life and genius of the great poetess, and selections were rendered by Misses Dulce Moise and Claude Girardeau, and Mr. L. W. Dick. The meeting was on tb? whole one of great interest and instruc? tion. Sir Richard Lovelace wa9 selected as the subject for the next meeting, which will be held on March 15th, at the residence of Mrs. Mikel!. In the absence of President Kershaw, Miss Mary H. Girardeau presided with great dignity and grace. A Devilish Act. Ao unfortunate accident occurred on Main Street on yesterday morning. George How? ell, a colored boy in a fit of passion threw an iron device at one of bis companions, but the device missed its roark and struck a gen? tleman, who was standing near by at the time, io the mouth. The gentleman's teeth were somewhat injured from the blow received from the device. Howell was arrested and placed in the Guard Hoose, but as the injured party desired to make no legal complaint against Howell, be was released from custody. His parents, however, instituted proceedings against him and now the little chap will not be able to sit down with any degree of comfort for a week or more. Colored Lawyers in Sumter.

Bishopville Enterprise, March 2. Our city was thrown into quite a florry yesterday evening at the near approach of the marriage of one of Bisbopville's charming young ladies. Those who were favored by a bid to this event, knowing the reputation of the bride's parents, looked forward for a fine entertainment, and were overjoyful that to them fell the lot to be so fortunate, and we being among the favored went, saw and are now full to overflowing. Last night at 8 o'clock Miss Abbie Reames, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. S. Reams, of this place, was united in marriage to Mr. G. W. McDowell, of Spartanburg, S. C., Rev. S. P. H. Elwell officiating.

The Most Wonderful Cattle in the World Our readers who are interested in fine stock will be glad to know that there are in our ccun'y several of the celebrated Dutch Belted Cattle, which bred has been denomi? nated by the historian Motley as "tue most wonderful cattle in the world." Mr. H. R. Thomas, of Wedgefield has now foar head, and has had-the breed on his fam for several years,-so that they are now thoroughly ac? climated. He is highly pleased with them, and is prepared to endorse what has been said of them elsewhere. We copy the following description of these cattle from the Breeder's Gazette: "The Dutch Belied Cattle are natives of Holland, and their breeding dates back to the seventeenth century wheo the cattle interests of Holland werein the most thrifty condition, and this type and color were established by scientific breeding ; decidedly the highest at? tainment ever reached in the science of breed? ing. These cattle were solely controlled by the nobility of Holland, and they are to the present time keeping them pure, but are not inclined to sell or part with them. They have a broad band or belt around their body, while the rest of the body is black, making a very beautiful and imposing contrast. They are above average size, commonly known as business size. The form is usually very fine, and tbey are wonderfully productive as milk? ers, combining beauty and utility in ita high? est development.

Be WP? a County Commissioner, And he w- : one of three ; He crossed nis skinny legs together, And laughed aloud with glee, As he said "How are tbe roads and bridget? It is time to go and see." 'Til take the Pocotaligo crossing, And estimate tbe yield ; One of yon can take the Poor House, The other must sweep the field. So let's go round to "Rosy's," boys; Then buckle on our shield." "If we find the roads and bridges ready, We will advertise the call ; Other officials wait to divide with us And their number is not smalh 'Tis the farmer must economize, If there's not enough for all 1" Bot we cannot always calculate. The leaders' speech was fine; So also was the Graud Juryman, Who going oot to dine, Said, "This is a rascally Commissioner," And yanked him from bis wine. The one who took Pocoialigo crossing, Slip'd in the mud beside the log ; In the "unknown depth" be floundered, Till "Nick" mistook him fora frog, And in great kindness to his own' Made him Commissioner over "Pluto's" bog. The one who took the Poor House, Ere ever he could toot; His clariou call, was stricken, Flat at a cotton stalk's root. He never knew what struck him, It was the Farmer's boot. This history gives the reason, Why, for one blessed year, And to the blessed Grand Juryman Whose heart had quaked with fear, The army of sleek officials, Quite failed to re-appear. "CITIZEN." WEDGEFIELD, Feb. 26, '87. The Commercial Class. We had the pleasure a few evenings since (opon invitation of Mr. J. D. Wilder) to at? tend a meeting of the class ia Double and Single-entry Book-keeeping which was or? ganized under his tutorship some three or four weeks back. We could not be otherwise than gratified at what we saw and heard. While this enterprise may be somewhat new io our community it is certainly one that deserves careful consideration by those of our young men who contemplate a busineti life, especially when we bring into consideration the large sums expended yearly by young gentlemen from this and adjoining counties at business colleges for the purpose of obtain? ing tbe preparation necessary to f?t them for usefulness in tbe commercial or business world. Our visit to Mr. Wilder's class not only satisfies us that these expenditures are unnec? essary inasmuch as the information thus obtained may be had at our very doors at prices merely nominal as compared with those charged at the business colleges in the large cities. You have only to attend (as we did) a meeting of his class in order to be convinc? ed that Mr. Wilder is not only himself master of the subject, but by careful study he bas adopted the very best method for imparting that information to others. BOOK-KEEPER. Matrimony a Science. We had heard of the English Matri? monial Neves, but we never before hap? pened to see it. Wbeu seen it beggars all description and defies caricature. Here are twenty-two long and closely set columns foil of advertisements for husbands or wives. The advertisers state precisely what they want, and at the same time accurately appraise them? selves. "Bachelor, age 36, good look? ing, good appearance, very affectionate, steady, salary about, ?150 a year, wishes to marry a lady, medium beigbt, rather short than otherwise, small hands and feet, l?ring nature, good temper, good looking or with wei? formed fea? tures, domesticated, with nieass, age from 18 to SO.1 'A man wants a woman for his wife who has or will have her first or given name only as Jane, and has good health, with all her nat? ural and sound teeth included.' The ladies are equally precise. 'An attrac? tive, handsome, young looking widow lady would like to meet with an honor? able gentlemanly man of high social position seeking a wife with refined, pleasing manners, religious principles and unusually cultivated mind. Clara is musical fond of intellectual pursuits, fully capable of being mistress of a good establishment, etc.' The fortunes of some of the advertisers are surprising, if the statements are genuine. One has ?4.000, another has ?8,000 a year. One lady bas ?250,000. Imag? ination fails to paint the hideousness or disagreeableness, of whatever kind it may be, which compels a lady with ?250,000 to advertise iu the newspaper tor a husband. One lady of large property wants a nobleman, and she need not altogether despair of getting bim There is no reason that we can see why marriages made in this busi? ness like way should not be happy. They cannot be so happy as genuine love marriages, but they may be hap? pier than marriages of mere impulse. Toronto Week. If the Sufferers from Consumption, Scrofula, and General Debility, will try Scott's Emulsion of Pure Cod Liver Oil with Hypophosphites, they will find immediate relief and a permanent benefit. Dr. B.

Weeks, superintendent of DeKalb Pauper Home : From a feeling of gratitude and a desire to benefit others, I voluntarily make this state? ment. I have great reason to be thankful that I ever heard of B. B B., ns I know what a blessing it has been to me. I have suffered with Bronchial Catarrh fora number of 5 ears. Six months ago I was taken with severe pain in right ear, which in a few days began to discharge matter, with terrible and almost unbearable palpitation and ali sorts of noises in my head. In ten days after the commence? ment of discharge and pain in my ear I began to grow deaf and in six weeks ? was so deaf that 1 could not hear thunder. 1 was then compelled to use conversation tube, and it was often that I could not bear with the tune.
