The programme was gone through with with solemn and stately dignity, and one by one they wended home- ( ward their weary way. ???Severe colds and some cases of pneumonia are prevalent now in some portions of the county. The physi- : cians report the present weather as unusually favorable to pneumonia and '' caution prompt attention to apparently insignificant colds as likely to ripen into the more dangerous and fatal , forms. Too much care cahuot be taken under the circumstances. ?The friends and members o f the ( New Hope Associate Reformed church in the northern portion of the county ( are now making energetic efforts to erect a new church building upon the site of the old one. Men of determi nation and vim are at the helm, and none need be surprised if a new building, tastefully and elegantly constructed, be ready for occupation bv January of next year. y ?A number of colored people in the JeilKinSVilie lOWnsuip are preparing to emigrate to Florida, some to settle permanently, others only temporarily. The inducement seems to -be high wages. The rapid settlement of that State by immigrants and the number of railroad enterprises that are being pushed to completion give an increased demand for day laborers. 1 ?The wind and the snow s'orm on last Tuesday night were something unusual in this latitude. The wind blew violently throughout the entire night and the snow in fine, thick flakes fel! without interruption till nearly daylight on Wednesday morning. The 1 snow drifts in places are between eight and ten inches in depth, and clear MMtli ? liftrthwMt wind, is the YV VabllWl | TVAWM W uva ? ? ?r .. .J last item of the weather record as we go to press. ?The reading room has been an established fact for several months. * "fTiat it is a good institution will not be denied, bnt there is another truth of cardinal importance to the success of - said institution, to wit, that the reading public should return the books acAAHi?!n/r +rs. fliA vnfftC Af tVlO f*lllh This WIUHIJ IV >u.v?v. we throw out as a gentle hint. Men are usually ready to return an injury, generally they return thanks, and it is said that they always return to their first love, but they never return a book. Columbia Growing.?The Columbia "? * . a x. r"tr correspondent 01 inc Augusta vnrou&? tele says: "Rents for real estate in Columbia, principally residences, liave K advanced rapidly recently. On small P cottages that have been renting at 8200 per annum the rents have been- advanced to $300?an increase of fifty per cent." Faikfielu Granite.?The city authorities of Wilmington, N. C., have given an order for granite blocks for paving several of the streets of thai enterprising city. The block will be furnished from the llock City quarry, near Rockton, in this county. This is additional proof of the popularity and worth of the Fairlield granite, and we doubt not the demand for it will be fully up to the ability to supply it. School Tax.?At a meeting of the taxpayers of School District No. 15, heid at Monticello on last Tuesday, the 8th inst., an additional tax of two mills for school purposes was voted unanimoiislv for the vear 1831. Our friends ! of Monticeilo are alive ta the importance of thorough progressive education, and their action on last Tuesday is substantial proof of their interest and sympathy in the common schools of j the county. A Full Quota.?The Rev. John T. Chalmers, the general agent for the Theological Seminary at Due West, has commenced his tour on behalf of that institution. So far he has been remarkably successful in raising funds for the endowment. At three churches in Fairfield county he succeeded in raisin? S3.000. If other sections of the country prove as liberal and generous as Fairfield, Mr. Chalmers will experience but little difficulty in raising the desired amouut in his allotted territory. Teachers' Examination. ? Thursday and Friday, the 3rd and 4th inst., " pro /Invc ivhtfh pinnlnvnd hv thfi Board of Examiners in the examination of teachers. About twelve, all white, were examined 011 Thursday for the first grade certificate and folly twenty-five, all colored, 011 Friday for the second and third grade certificates. No report upon the success or'failure of the several applicants can be made for several weeks to come. Personal.?Mr. J. Fleming Brown, of this place, lias been elected Principal of the High School at Lynchburg, in Sumter county, and will leave here for his new field of labor in the course of a week or ten days. Mr. Brown has been engaged in teaching in Union county for a number of years, and has given general satisfaction wherever he has taught. The trustees and patrons of the Lynchburg High School have been fortunate in procuring his services for the ensuing scholastic year. The Blythewood Ticket.?The municipal election was hehl in r', thewood on Tuesday, the 8th inst., and , the foilowing ticket was elected: W. J. Johnson, intcndant; J. L. Wardlaw, J. R. Kennedy, J. D. Hogau and D. P. Hoffman, wardens. The gentlemen in aathoritv for the ensuing year represent the best element in Blvthewood AAnttf f KAMA ?IUU UlCdUUUUUUliig vasumii\ %*uvi buug is every confidence that the municipal affairs of Blythewood will be wisely and properly managed. Cold Weathkr "Narratives"? The Chester Reporter tells some hard things on the cold weather in that section, and we hope Christian people won't questiou their truth. The following samples will suffice to illus trate: The result lias been as usual?a big freeze up; pumps aud well machinery "out of fix," water pitchers bursted, kerosene oil "solid" in the lamps (they do say that oil froze in a lighted lamp), Dgg shells peeled off ruby ears and drippy noses. Beside?, the town has been well nigh in a state of blockade, communication with the country being llmost entirely cut off. Here is an* Incident of the severe weather: The water in Mr. W. H. Wise's well, fifty-two feet deep, was frozen over on Sunday morning. This was told us Monday "and our informant says he'll freeze to his statement. A Skillfcl Operation.?Drs. T. T. Robertson and E. W. Aiken performed a, skillful and qnite painful operation upon the eyes of an old colored man, Thomas Sanders, in this place, several days ago. The old man was entirely blind from a cateract that had grown over his eyes, and the operation consisted in the cutting away and removing it. The patient, although old, stood the severe operation without the use and aid of chloroform, which nn dcr the circumstances is rather unusual. It is hoped that the operation will result in an entire restoration of the old man's sight, but it is impossible as yet to predict the results. He is now doing well. Left for Florida.?Mr. A. Jones Lamar, a son of Colonel Kobcri G. Lamar, who has been for a number of years engaged in successini ianmug in this county, has sold his plantation and moved to Florida. Mr. Lamar expects to stop a few days at Hamburg, his old home, to visit friends and relatives, on tiis way to his new location. He exDects to sro into the railroad business in Florida. Mr. Lamar is a thoughtful, wide-awake and progressive young tnau, and Fairfield county loses a good citizen by his departure. The kindest wishes of his marry friends will follow him to his new home. A Prominent Tax Delinquent.? It will be interesting and amusing to the public generally to learn (bat would-be Governor J. HendriX McLane, of Greenback-Kuklux notoriety, failed to pay his taxes for last year, and necessitated the issuing of an execution against his property. Whether the late Honorable ?J. Hendrix was too impecunious or too unpatriotic so to do is foreign to the question, but all the same it stands out a bold fact in the public records of this county that one Greenback-Labor-Reform aspirant for the gubernatorial honors of South Carolina failed to pay his little pittance or contribution towards sustaining the government of the State UK,. Over which lie inu ??uiu u>> ui& eternal God" to preside. The taxes were paid, not willingly, not voluntarily, but by the iron-clad procesess of the law. Is comment necessary? The Lectuke. ? We are requested by the County Board of Examiners to state for the benefit of the public generally that owing to sickness and further unavoidable, circumstances, several members of the Board were unable to be in attendance npou the purged lecture by Dr. Stott on last Saturday night, and lor this reason and others it was thought best to abandon the idea. Dr. StoiF would have done all in hi* power to meet the expectations of our people, and his acknowledged abiiitv is guarantee I. i.K_. .".."....,1,1 CliUUgll lllitt li'j uiii; numu ihn> disappointed. For the Board and for ourselves, we regret the necessity of the disappointment. The Editors on Christmas.?The i Newberry Observer has been irapru{ dent enought to expose some of our; i brethren of the quill, but since the | j mistake lias been committed, we give j ?? - * ! J specimens ror tne amusement ui mu i reading public. It says: Nearly every edicor has had sorae! thing to say about Christmas. Nothing has been said of an original or Startling nature?with possibly two exceptions. One editor, in commcnti ing on Christmas, informs is readers mat me aay is set apart iu ueiuLuaiv the resurrection of the Saviour. This was intended by the editor as "news", to liis readers?and no doubt it was. Another editor, who differs from the foregoing as to the object of tiie day, writes very touching!}* and-feelingly of the birth of the Saviour nineteen thousand years ago, and draws an eloquent picture or" the pilgrimage to Bethlehem of the Wise Men ot the East, who "were guided by a cloudy i pillar by day and a pillar of fire -bv night."* ?Fine stamping for any kind of embroidery executed in artistic style by Prof. DeHerradora. * Personal.?Miss Kate Douglass, daughter of the JRev. James Douglass, of this county, has been elected assistant teacher in the Blackstock High School. The selection is an excellent one, and her past success as a teacher insures for her increased popularity and usefulness in her ne\v field of labor. The corps of teachers as it now stands are: W. Banks Thompson, principal; Miss Kate Douglass, viceprincipal; Miss Marion Durham, teacher of music. The Blackstock Academy promises to accomplish much educational good in that community. Judge A. P. Aldrich will preside at our February term of the court. Dr. S. G. Miller, of Woodward's, pant us a very pleasant can on jpruiay. Mr. George II. McMaster left town several days ago for Ocala, Florida, to visit friends and relatives. He expects to be gone several weeks. "NVc wish him a pleasant visit to the "Land of Flowers". The Misses Bell, of Hazlewood, Chester county, are in town on a visit. The New Railroad.?Our gentlemen friends of the northwestern section of the county are considerably exercised now-a-days over the rosy prospects for a broad-gauge railroad through that portion of Fairfield. It is hoped and thought that the projected railwav from Monroe, X. C., to Augusta, Ga., will strike an air-line from Chester to Augusta. If this line or course is adopted it will probably follow the track of the Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta Rairoad to Cornwell's, in Chester count}*, pass along in the neighborhood of New Hope church, touching at Albion, and cross Broad river at Strother. The course above indicated will probably be adopted by the authorities of the new road, and it would add no little to the geueral good of one of the richest and most prosperous portions of Fuirfield county. The gentlemen interested are thoughtful and kind enough to wail /vitai* WitmehAm'c onnfAmnl?!mis fortune in the premises, and the sympathy expressed is of coarse duly appreciated, but after all the county-seat expccts to grow in proportion as the county generally or any portion thereof becomes richer, happier and more prosperous. Personal.?We had the pleasure, ? a? t? tvt UII ?LUUI1U?Y , U1 UiUUlUlg vjr^ii. Ji-i. X*J.. Law, now one of the Principals of the King's Mountain Military School at YorkviUe. General Law is well known throughout the State as one of the bravest and most efficient officers who served iu the Confederate army. A distingnished graduate of the Citadel Academy, and a soldier as well by nature as by training, he combines in an unusual degree the elements which fit him admirably for. his present position. Col. Coward, the well known head of the institution, will find in General Law an able assistant in the good work in which the School is doing so much. Mr. James McGill. of the Monti cello section, has closed up his-affairs here, and removed to Texas. Mr. McGill is one of our stannchest and most highly respected citizens, and his departure from the county will be universally- regretted. We wish him the fullest success in his new home. "We are pleased to learn that Mr. Thompson Chappell, who suffered a Sll'OKt: OX piil'ivysis i'U'iJ.it; uit\s ucyji 10 now much better. We hope he maysoon be restored to perfect health. Mr. W. S. Rabb, who has been for some mouths iu Florida, has returned to "Wiunsboro. He is heartily welcomed. Greenbrier Church.?The Rev. Robert Stork, writing to the Southern Christian Advocate, says: "Greenbrier Church, Fairfield Circuit, lias been especially blessed during the past year in health, peace and spirituality. The Chnrch has met all ol her assess- j ments, which would average a little j over four dollars per member. Then the ?food womeu deserve great credit for their untiring Zealand faithful work. Only ten members, seven of whom arc on the active list, yet they have raised in cash (together with work on hand) one huudred dollars, and still have two months before close of fiscal year. You see that is ten dollars per member for ten months. May this provoke other societies unto good works. The jQveniles, twenty in number, have raised in the same time seventy cents per member. ...Our members, old and young, will not exceed forty, and all in moderate circumstances, yet over two hundred and fifty dollars haveJbeeu raised during- the year of '83.. All the social meetings are attended to, and i our pastor, Bro. McCain, has bestowed honest and acceptable labor upon his field. His return gladdens the hearts of all. The tracks of former pastors are manifestly seen, and their names are as ointment poured forth. The Christmas tree and dinner were enjoyed b mIL and this writer and his better half were substantially remembered. Despite the inclement weather, we enjoyed the watch-night meeting. It was a season of divine power and sweetness to each sonl. The entire congregation at the dawn of the new year gave a snb| stantial token of appreciation, and vowed to live better than before." ?When in town visit Prof. DcIIerJ radora's Gallery and examine specimens of his work as penman, photo * --- * grapner ami sign pnuuei. FEASTERT1LLE ITEMS. We gather from the Chester Bulletin of last week the following items of news from the Feastcrville neighborhood : ?Mr. II. C. Mahon, heretofore reaiding at Brooksville, Miss., will hereafter live with his son, the Rev. J. D. Mahon. ?About fifty colored people are preparing to emigrate troin the Brice neighborhood to Florida. The few that went some time since to Chesterfield do not, we understand, give a very favorable account of that section. ?We res-ret to learn that Mrs.Sallie Castles fell 011 the snow on tlio oth instant, and sustained ft fracture of the forearm. ?Mrs. J. L. Richmond has returned home from a visit to her relatives in Missouri, much benefitted physically by'the trip. ? ?Messrs. \V. B. Wright and J. N. Waters a few days since, in a four hours' hunt 011 Sandy River, bagged twenty squirrels. It is hoped our taxidermists will get vigorously to work on a few skin?, to enable us in the near future to learn what squirrels were. ?Mr. Basil Fee, a well known and lnVhlv resnecied citizen of Fairfield, o ? A died in his eighty-first year on the 28th ult. after snveek's illness with catarrhal fever. His remains were interred on the 30th, in the Beaver Creek cemetery, with burial services by the Eev. J.

The negro who effected the robbery led to his own detection by donning a new suit in the store and leaving his old one behind him. A warrant was issued; but the boy is still at large. ?The following marriages have recently taken place: On the 19th ult., Mr. Jacob F.
