About twc years ago a "Shakespearean Dramatic Club" lirst saw the light here among the youthful literati of the town, bn1 the organization was but short-lived and died in its helpless infancy. It is said that' the severity of criticism oi the members, one upon another, as each in turn rendered his part gave rise to brawls and dissensions and the club broke'np with a threatened assault and battery. Among the defunct, or to express it more mildly, the sleeping clubs are the "Reading Club" and the "Archery Club." At the Altar.?At six o'clock on last "Wednesday evening a small party of select friends quietly and unosten tatiously gathered at tne resiaence 01 Capt. R. S. Desportes in Columbia. The occasion of the assemblage was a marriage ceremony, and Mr. U. G. Desportes and Miss Sarah "Wolfe, both >f "Winnsboro, were the principal actors in the scene. The Rev.

Robt. Clowney's in the northern portion of the county. For several days past smoke has been seen coming out of the ground at several different places, and the soil is somewhat heated. No combustible substance of any kind has as yet been rlieo/wraivifl noor fhp cnrfflrrp n.n<1 tin hypothesis has been advanced upon which a satisfactory explanation of the phenomenon can be reasonably expected. Considerable excitement is said to possess the good people in the surrounding country. We hope to (earn something more definite and authoritative from parties in that section of the county. The Chester Bulletin^ commenting upon a somewhat similar phenomenon within a few miles of tfie neighborhood in question, says: On Mr. Nicholas Colvin's place, at Halsellville, has been beard fbr some time a roaring noise, and it was not till the last few days that the place from whence this sound came was found'.. A short distance from his residence is the main road, and following the fence for about a Quarter of a mile. parallel with the road, you arrive at the place where this noise issues forth Erom the ground. Smoke arises in Sense columns and for a distance of twenty yards of this apparent hole the ground is in a heated condition, rhe people around about, especially the negroes,'are in the wildest state of terror, thinking as usual that the judgment day is at hand. The whites, also, are "at a loss to explain the phenomenon. On last Tuesday a party assembled at this threatening volcano with spades, shovels, etc., prepared to iig for the mystery. We were informed by two of the participants in the affair that a depth of eight feet was reacfcea, wnen Dy tne smote, neat and threatening explosion, as they thought, it was found impracticable to Jig farther. So the mystery remains still unsolved. Some think that it is indeed a volcano and others that it is a geyser from the vapors which arise ind the moistened state of the earth surrounding it..
