'^sweethearts," a charming little two act comedy writtea by Mr. W. S. Gilbert, tbe r' author of Pinafore, &c, abounds in sparkling mirth and striking situations. Mr. Wre? as Harry Spreadbrow, and the beautiful and - captivating soubrette Mrs. Wren, as Jane Sortbeott, were the features of the evening, aad so well did they manage their audience that they captivated and rbarmed them from beginning to tbe close of the entertainment. Their recitations were good and <rell ren . det?d. fa the button buster "Outwitted," the au dience were kept in a continuous roar of laughter, and in fact, the p-'aying was repeat ?d3y stopped to allow tbe people to give vent to their feelings. Mrs. Wren as the red headed maid was indeed charm;og, and we ?| have do doubt that maoy of our young men dreamed all night of white horses. ~ AH in air, the entertainment was clean, ' ehasisaod pleasing, and sorely tbe company should feel proud of tbe ovation given them by car people, as the universal comments : were "exceilent," "the best I ever saw,' and Other like expressions of praise well merited. The Wren's bave won a warm spot in the hearts of our people, and should they ever ' come this way again, it will be with great pleasure that our people will turn out to see them aad to add a few straws to the nest that Is to shelter the little Wren's.

We regret to hear of the death, on the 25tb, in San Francisco, of Capt. William Blandina, the elder brother of Col. James D. and Maj O. Blandiug, with both of whom he served thtougb the Mexican war, being Captain of the Charleston Company of the Palmetto Regiment, one of. the leading companies of the column which first entered the City of Mexico. Capt. Blaading divided with Maxcy Gregg the 1st honor of bis class in the S. C. College in 1835 and was tutor therein fora few years. Afterwards entered into a suc cessful practice of law in Charleston until 1854, when he was appointed by President Pierce United States District Attoroey for California, to wbich he removed, and after being removed by the Republicans continued the practice of law. Two years since he was appointed by President Cleveland one of the Regents of Soldiers' Homes of the U. ?. He was in his 71st year. At Savannah, Ga., on the 18th of October, Mrs. Sarah C.

There will be service at tbe Episcopal Church on Friday afternoon at 4.30 o'clock, and also on Sunday next at 11 o'clock A. M., and 7.30 P. M. "Tbe S. C. Conference will meet in Winns boro, S. C, on November 28, and will be presided over by Bishop Keener. A prayer meeting for young men is held at tbe Methodist Church every Sunday moruing at 9? o'clock. . Santee Baptist Association. This Association, composed of Churches situated mostly in Clarendon and Suinter Counties, met, on Thursday laat, with tbe Autioch Church, just over the Kershaw line. Until Saturday it rained almost incessantly, .and the attendance was not as large as it would bave been otherwise. All the Churches, however, except one, were represented by letter or by delegate, and tbe session was har monious and full of life. Tbe Providence, New Hope and Harmony Churches were received into tbe b jdy, making ' tbe total number 23. The Introductory sermon was preached by ?ev. J. J. Myers, aud the Missionary sermon by Rev. T. J. Rooke. Tbe Churches have raised during tbe year past, for all purposes, something over ten thousand dollars. Considering tbe fact that some of tbem are very weak and some just or ganized and some with imperfect reports, this aggregate is indicative Of uncommon progress in all lines of Christian enterprise. Dr. Griffith, of Greenville, was present to represent tbe Farmau Uo?versity Endowment Fund, and received four hundred and sixty five dollars, out of fire hundred dollars asked for. Tbe contributions to State Missions amounted to three hundred and fifty dollars, and tbe fund for educating youug ministers reached niuety-one dollars out of tbeoue hun dred asked tor. A gentleman from Sumter sent up a letter to tbe Association, recommending the estab Hshmg of a bigh school in this place for the boys of adjacvat Counties. The idea set forth was tbe raising of a fund* for tbe purchase of property and the paving of teachers, the whole to be under the control of tbe Associa tion. Tbe matter was referred to the Execu tive Board for action. Such an enterprise should meet tbe commendation of many of our citizens. ? Tbe Autioch Church is situated in a poor section of country, bordering upon the moun tains. Locomotion was difficult, bnt the hos pitality of the people was marked. Tbe next session will be beld with the Providence Church, nine miles from Sumter. Delegate. Providence Sunday School. Before half past 7, the heau'iful resdence of Mrs. Heriot R McLeod was handsomely dec orated at?d lighted upon the 24th, and crowd ed with bright and cheerful faces. The Sunday School at Providence went to work to get an organ. The Church.assisted tbe school, and also the liberal Presbyterians and Baptists joined in to make a complete success of tbe most pleasant gathering of tbe kind we ever witnessed. We uoticed in tbe parlor, Mr. Joshua Myers, Dr. Stuckeyof Bi?hopviile, Capt. Gail lard, onr courteous Postmaster Mr. John Kingman, Mr. Yates from Sumter, our school Trustees, and tbe Sunday School Superin tendents from adjoining Sunday Schools. They ail were enjoying themselves. Through the energy and zeal of Mrs. L R. Philips and Capt. Folk there were 24 beauti ful presents given the Sunday School by the liberal merchants of Samter, for which we return thanks and will remember them when we go tc* the City. The contributions were all labeled, and Capt. Foil:, Capt. Gaillard and Jno. Kingman did faithful work in securing full prices. The Superintendent appointed the follow ing lady menacera: Mr. Julia Folk, fancy table; Mrs J. R. Philips, cake table, assisted j by Mrs. Faenie Jones, Mrs. H R. McLeod, ! Mrs. W. W. Boykin, Miss Maria Spann, aud | Mr. Frank Bradford in the sniper room. Tbe evening passed off pleasantly and the school feels complimented by such a liberal response by the friends. The receints were $92 00. Supt. -?-; The Grand Jury and the Trial Justices. Mr. Editor: The la3t Presentment of tbe Grand Jury complains to the Court, that the Trial Justices have failed to render their "Monthly" Reports as required by saw, &c. This is calculated to mislead, but I am satis fied it was innccot of injury to any one. The A. A. 1886, Sec. 6. page 705, as to this point says : "And shall a; least ten days prior to each Term of the Court of General Sessions of the County wL. rein be resides, make out.and file with the CY \ of said Court, a certified transcript of hist minai docket, which shall show the amouu: of fees, costs and fines imposed and amount collected thereon."

N A New Editor for the American Magazine. 749 Broadway, New York, October i2, 188S. Mr. John Gilmer Speed has become the Editor of the American Magazine, which, un der its new ownership, has already shown many evidences of vigor and enterprise. Mr. Speed, who belongs to the well-known Kentucky family of that name, is well fitted by taste and training to successfully carry ont the new work he has undertaken. He has passed through all the grades of journal ism, and was for several years Managing Editor of the New York World, before it was purchased by its present proprietor. Since then he ha? spent much time in foreign travel, and has also been a frequent cou tribu tor to the magazines and newspaper press. He has writteu a life of John Keat3, and edited his letters and poems. For this work Mr. Speed bad peculiar advantages, as bis mother, a daughter of George Keats, the younger broth er of the poet, bad preserved all of John I Keats's letters to bis brother, and many of I the manuscript poems to which George Keats fell heir, upon the untimely death of the young poet in Rome. Mr. Speed, in turn, inherited these let:ers and manuscripts, and made good use of them in his edition of Keats. In conducting the Magazine, "It is Mr. Speed's purpose to make it all that its name implies?an illustrated monthly, representa tive of American thought and life. He will have the hearty co-operation of competent and resourceful colleagues, and he therefore starts out with a bright prospect of making the American Magazine worthy of the success which usually follows well-directed effort.
