A Good Record.—We are gratified to learn that our young townsman, Mr. M. W. Doty, has ,made the best record in mathematics ot Any member of his claes, scoring 9.83 out of a pos sible hundred.

The Streets Aoajn.-A notice is published In to-day’s issae of Tup News and Herald calling a meeting of the citizens of the town in the court house on next Tuesday night at jij.15 o’clock, for the purpose of takii.g some steps and devising somQ.,plun for the improvement of the streets, partien- lArly the northern end of Congress street. This is substantial and some thing more than talk, and there is now some assurance that the present bad condition qf oar streets will pe greatly improved in the early future. There is no subject ifidre generally agitated throughout the State now than the road law and the 4>ad condition of the. important highways in the various sections and localities of tl>c country* That good, substantial good, will re sult from the agitation, none but the most skeptical will doubt. While ac tion is being taken to belter the high ways throughout the country, why should not the public-spirited men of Winnsboro consider .the advisability; ,pf of macadamizing, at, least, the inaip street of the town ? Other, ahd smaller >. t.;. a;* -v and poor county-seats in South Caro lina are brave enough to undertake the job. It *n$y be presumption, but ,yvc believe that Winnsboro can accom plish as much in that direction as they can. Experienced men say that it can be shown mathematically to be the most economical in the end. Let it be proposed and discussed at the meeting next Tuesday night. FOR BALE!

Animals.—Edmund Biice, colored, was, on Friday, tried and convicted before Justice Nell on the charge of cruelty to animals. This js the first case of the kind that has been tiled here iii a long time, and it excited some interest among the citi zens ojf the town. ,The defendant was fined $10 or ten days in ihe county jail. The defendant, however, man- Vtged fo escape, and he may yet go an- punished. Winnsboro, ought to have a “society for the prevention of cruelty to animals.” fe AU "“ Bedstea^.—Mr. McBride Smith, of this plaice, has about com pleted the most novel and singular bedstead we have ever seen. The vari- pus parts composing it, is made.of six teen different specimens of wood, fonr- ,of which were groivh in this No two parts or pieces are exactly , .alike’, and being nicely var nished, the curions grain of the differ ent woods make np an article of furni ture striking indeed, Mr, Smith should send it to Columbia and Ifaye it on exhibition at the fair in November.
