Mrs. Theodore Mohley.; formerly of Fairfield county. South i Carolina. Mrs. Mohley loares .an in-| rant live days old. besides three other \ children ami a bereaved husband to ! mourn her untimely taking away, all of whom cxilist our heartfelt sympathy. She was buried yesterday morning at Pleasant Green church. Mrs. Mobley was Miss Elizabeth M. Tones, and was I born in Barnwell, South Carolina, on April 18th, 1S46. and was married to Mr. Theodore Mobley, of Fairfield county, S. C., October 1, 1SG-S. They moved to Pleasant Green in this conn ty in 1S72, where they have since re- j sided and made many friends. Though j far away from tier relatives we can J console them by saying that no evi- j dences of friendship in the way of at- j tentions was wanting to show the j warm x>lace the deceased held in the | hearts of those among whom she lived; j and could the close attention of friend* ! 01 medical aid have saved her, she j would to-day be here. Her funeral j wa* preached by the liev. Dr. Givens, [ the pastor of the Methodist church at! that place, a member of which denoini-1 nation she had been for eighteen j years." Tiik Cotton* Cask.?In the case of the Railroad Commissioner iv. The Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta Railroad Company, the Supreme Court uiis rt'u-iiti; pi imiuuiiwu ito juv.jhil.,1 , affirming the judgment of the court < below. This case, it will be remem- i bered, was brought before Judge j ilackey in the fail of 1879, to enjoin! the Company from charging freight i on cotton by measurement, and to I compel them to charge thereon by j weight. Judge Mae.key decided forj the Commissioner, and the Company ; appealed to the Supreme Court. That j tribunal set aside Jtuige Mackey'a decree, and remanded the ca*e, that testimonymight be taken as to what was the mercantile custom of charging freight on cotton? whether as a heavy article or as an article of measurement?at the ! time when the Company's charter was granted. The testimony was taken by X. B. Barnwell. Esq., Master for Richland county, and lie, after hearing argument, reported to the Court that at the lime stated cotton in bales was. according to the usage of trade, classed as a '"heavy article". The Company appealed to the Circuit Court, where the report of the Master was confirmed. On appeal to the Supreme Court, j the judgment of the Circuit Court was ; affirmed. So the matter is finally settled. Transfers of R*a! Estate. Since our last report the following transfers of real estate have been entered in the cfiive of the county auditor: j February 17. 1882.

Tii-? boiler is h late inv< ntion. called tho nest tube boiler and is unlike any other in use. and said to be the most rapid steam generator in use, which we think has been proved, as figures below will fully show. The machine is very simple in construction and is built for service as well as looks. It might be well to slate, here that when the Town Council determined t<% purchase an engine, they appointed a committee of seven, which wa? so chosen as tc have the town authorities, ci ir.ens and tire department represented. That committee was Messrs. J. J. Neil, Intemlant, F. Gerig, Warden, J. A. Brice, D. It. Flenniken. F. Kkler. I!. M. Huey, president of the fire company and ?T. II. Cuminings. That committee met, and after mature consideration determined that a rot an engine was better adapted to our use than a piston engine, and they invited the only builders of rotary engines? the Silsby and the LaFrance companies?*n cnnmptK for the contract. Thejr responded by sending tl-clr respective agents Messrs. Sadler and Forbes to V'innsboro. These <r??nt'etneii fully and ably set forth the merits of their engines, and worked zealously ly to effect a sale. The committee after giving these gentietnen a full hearing and examining fully the merits of these two rotary engines, decided that the L*Fr?nce engine had merits timt the SiNbv tiid not possess?among which miji'ht be mentioned the construction of the boiler, which enables them to raiso ste.im much faster than any oilier builder, which is a very important item in connection with steam fire engines, and its admirable automatic packing plate, which does away with sill danger of sudden stopping cumsed by expansion. On Tuesday morning the boys assembled at the engine house, and, under command of President Iluev, took the engine and hose reels to Allen's branch."where a pool of water had been made, and got ready for the test. The engine was rapidly placed in position, and 1,000 feet of hose run o4 up the hill in the direction of Mi. A. S. Douglass' residence. Every one in this vicinity knows how steep that hill is?the elevation from the branch where the engine stood to the nozzle has been put at from thirty-five to forty feet . Even thing being now ready, all eyes were turned toward the little engine and much smaher engineer in order to see :if he could do what was promised, and what seemed to all to be an nnpossiuhiiv, to wn: 10 raise seventy pounds of steam from cold water in five minute# from lighting the fire. At the word ready the torch is applied, the following committee standing at the steam gauge with a three hundred and fifty dollur stop watch to take the time: The liev. J. is Connor, Messre. P Gerig, T. H. Krtchin, II. B. Mcilasier. Smoke arises, and the crowd with the committee eageriy watch the steam gauge. One minute is called and only tive pounds of steam. 1? minutes, 74 pounds of steam. 2 minutes. 20 pounds of steam. 2? minutes, pounds of steam, and people think she may possibly fulfill her promise. 3 minutes. 48 pound* of steam. oh minutes, 60 pounds of steam. 4 minutes, 75 pounds of steam. 42 anilines. -js pounus UI su-am, and everybody wild. Engine blowing oft' clouds of steatn. The. little tliinir surprised everyone. At four and a half minutes steam was turned on. and water went fl\ ing up the liiil through oi:e thousand feet of hose, and in an incredibly short space of time water was issuing1 IV :>m the nozzle in a good fire stream. J>ir. J. C. Caldwell. I)c]>uty Surveyor, stood at the nozzle to take the distance.. The wind vras blowing strong against the stream, but this could not be avoided as it was the only position th:?t could be found to stretch this Ir.ng line of hose. The committee would have been satisfied, taking into consideration the steep grade and heavy wind the engine had to contend again t, with a stream of from one hundred to one hundred and twenty-five feet. But when the distance was measured, and found that she had thrown a stream of solid water, no spray, a distance of one hundred and ?ixty feet' from the nozzle, cheer after cheer rent the air, and the e >miniilce were more than satisfied as well as highly pleased. The next test to which she was submitted was throagh six hundred feet of hose to whic-h attached a Siamese coupling-, at each outlet of which was attached one section of ho*e, and playing up the same steep grade and against lhe same wind, she threw two olid streams of water a distance of one hundred and thirty-fire feet each. ihe committee was now iully satisfied n it!) the working capacity of the engine. Several other tests were made through short lines of hose, and she did so well that the committee was satisfied without measurement. Mr. LaFrance thei: turned the engine over to Messrs. \V. J. Elliott, McBride Suiith and \V. A. Beaty who so ably assisted him in the test, and the engine in their hands behaved admirably. The engine was then brought back to town and stationed at the cistern at the court-house, and under control of our .-.vJ- :-v-^ Y~~ ~ : " ; amateur engineers, was worked about half an hour for ihe benefit of the ladies of the town, and she did good service. Everybody i> hiirhly pleased, ; and we think will feel safer in thu future than they haw iiio past, as far :;s protection fro:n lire i* concerucd. The whole te>r was well arranged and , carried out without confusion. We would advise our neighbors who : are still trustingto the powers ot'handj engine? to do as we have done?pro! euro a L:i France steamer. | We understand the Committee on Purchase have recommended that the council buy thy engine, which they will cio. hut at the time of going to press we have no report from the council. the Ji.icn n.ixorr.T.

We must meet them with determination, and avoid the path that leads to blighiett lives and blasted aspirations, [cheers] remembering the advice "To thine own self be true, and it will follow as the night the clay, thou canst not then be false to any man."

[Ajjplanse.] The Bachelor?The happiest period of our lives, and the happiest period of the world's history. As long a* the Garden of Eden was occupied by the bachelor only lor that period was the world without sin. Response by AkhoOwl of Swat Harden. It i<? ttne that holy writ has declared it is not good for man to live alone. But man is compelled to act alone in almost all the responsibilities j of life; and therefore why should not he ! alone decide the problem of living for ! himself and to himself alone. Is there : not more pleasure in pursuit than in | possesion? [Cheers.] Again, a Oachej lor needs tut little, and can afford to I act honestly and conscientiously \vfth I every one. An houc-t man is the | nobles: work of God, and as all bachej lors are presumed to b'b honest [apI planse] they are therefore the noblest i work of God. [Immense enthusiasm.] ! Beware of matrimony;.but if you do j fail into temptation, rejneinl>er the adj vice given, "Marry a giri .whose relat tives live at a distance, and then you can sometimes have agsood time." [causation and Cheers.] Woman?What a significant .word, j 4-Woe, man V' Jt was certainly a day I of woe for man when she entered the ! world, a day of woe tlrat has never bad j an end. from which bachelors only are i exempt. ! Response by Aba EfFendi Ragsdale. Such a sentiment inspires mingled feelings in the breast of the bachelor. To him woman must appear either as an evil genius to be avoided or as a goddess before whom every knee shall ?-ow l am/1 f/nwmA / /OiiV'Ce WYnrmii T4 a subject worthy of profound contmplacion. History has recorded her p '.iicnt sufferings, her lasting triumphs ; and brilliant achievements. See her in s*ar!iest times, a beast of burden, an object of reproach, and watch her gradual progress, every step upward marking a higher degree of civilization. She will ever occupy a high place in the Pantheon of the Gods, where the head of man must bow before her as it always must before whatever is higher, nobler and greater than itself, j [Applause.] As a free ballot is a ! good thing for South Carolina but not i for Massachusetts, so woman is a good thing for the world at large, but a had I thini? for Bachelors' ProtectiveUuions. [Appljuse.] And unless we make earnest efforts for this Uuio>i, the ark j j of celibacy will erelong be wrecked j on the tbores of matrimony, and our j aspirations be as driftwood on the | shifting currents of the ocean of time. ! [Applause, but evident shaking at the | i knees.] i Kesolutions of sorrow at the decease ; : of several members were read, and a, toast drunk .-landing ai;J in silence to their memory. A special toast was drunk Jo Secretary Gaillard, who was unavoidably absent. | By special request Mj . LaFrance favored trie party w'th seme more music, !>ut declined to sr.eak, 01; the ground that he had himself "departed this life" about a year ag'>. The President then read some adapted verses .suited to the occa?ion, the nrsr ana last ocwg as loiiows: Trll m", ye winged wlncu That round my pathway roar.

Faith, Hope and Truth boat boona to mortals given. War ;d their bright wands, and Answered, "Yes, at B^lielors Suppen and In lleavea." {Applause, loud and i continued.] | The Bachelors then dispersed to i their peaceful homes, to become for ! another twelvemonth the victims of ! woman's wiles.
