The music was delightful and very much appreciated. ?The Rev. D. E.

It is said that Ihere will be several candidates for initiation. The Union is flourishing'. ?Is this to be a good crop-year or not? Several parties around here like to know, and those who have the faculty of foretelling snch things have no doubt come to some conclusion by this time. ?Mr. Thomas Anderson, of this county, has been appointed manager , of the Columbia Canal. This selection may be taken as a new assurance that the work will be pushed rapidly forward. ?The Begister says that three prisoners from Kershaw county were received at the penitentiary Saturday, i Sheriff Mcuaney win go uuwn wiuj his quarterly contribution in a few days, but as the returns are not yet all ; in we will enter into no disparaging j comparisons.

A. Williford & Sons on 1 yesterday to sec, as they put it, "the t finest car-load of mules that has ever i been- shipped to this plp.ee." "We are 1 - free to say that we have no inclination ] whatever to contest the point, as we 1 were, at all events, shown as fine a ] hodv of mules as we have ever seen. ( ? t Cheap.?The Sheriff sold an elegant s Hjttfe one-horse wagon on Friday for j trifling sum of twenty-one dollars. | He warranted it, too, to carry any t indastrious young man and family safe to Arkansas. The warranty, however, w,a$ not understood to-oover the return-trip, rand :it 'was owing to ( this, perhaps, 4ha<rjt brought no more. ? lj Dissatisfaction.?Several parties ^ who bought-siock of the Sheriff on . last Monday have since -become thor- ** oughlv dissatisfied with their purchases \ and are now complaining very bitter- * ]y. But we are certainly not to blame, r for we have warned the people time ^ and again to stay away from that ^ court-house door when the Sheriff is ^ seen selling mules. - < Notices.?The gentlemen of the bar ^ here have agreed to call no cases on the civil side of the court which re- ^ quire a jury until Monday the 19th 5 * x n -3 n i. liist.. vousiueriii^ tuat uio v^ourt ujl Sessions will occupy the whole or * greater part of the first week, the ar- t rangernent will no donbt serve the ( conveniene of both jarors and witnesses. Peddlers.?Hearing it said that a * number of peddlers are traveling < around the county just now, it oc- i curred to us that we might call on the 5 Clerk of the Court and ascertain the < full strength of the force; but the j ^ Clerk informs us that he has never yet < had the honor to license one of this \ fraternity. They have, therefore, pos- -j sibly forgotten all about the tax im- j W posed npon this branch of commerce < by an Act of the Legislature. Not ' ^ ' 11 Death.?"We have just learned of ] 1? the death of Dr.S. B. McLurkiu which \ gfe occurred on last Monday evening after i II a protracted spell of sickness. Dr. iHc- * K Lurfcin was one of the oldest, and . WL most successful practioners in the J wL county. He had au extensive practice 1 Hi in the northwestern portion of this 1 B coantv and also nracticed a erreat deal ! I in Chester. In his death the medical J profession has lost an able and success- < |&1 member, and the county a valuable [ I ffibceral portions of the county are 1 Sj&ig ill need of repairs. "We hear n I" mmmm effect that travelers arc abandoning the roads, in places, and taking the fields. The roads are public conveniences and should be kept in a condition suitable for the purposes of public travel. It is a bad stale of afiairs that forces upon one the, necessity of trespassing upon the private rights of his neighbor in order to go from place to place. Hymeneal.?We are quite aware that most people object, as a matter of course, to having their private affairs Hl&Ut? JJUUllU} UX1U. lb JLiC^l 11V/I9 vaavax/fore, be supposed that we err unwittingly. But "business is business" and , a newspaper must give the news; besides we must be understood as speaking generally and referring in nowise to particular parties when we say that five marriages are to be celebrated in town immediately after the next annual meeting of the Bachelors. Trial by Jury.?John Seals was brought before Trial Justice Cathcart a few days ago, charged "with petit larceny. He demanded a "set of juries," and six colored men were em panneuea to try tne case, me uufeudant made no objections, bnt remarked audibly as they stood up to be sworn that they looked "very wild/' The jury failed to appreciate the compliment and found him guilty very promptly without leaving their seats. John says that he will have a white jury to try the next dispute that he has with the State, or lie will not consent to be tried at all. i Tight Tdies.?"E.," writing from ; Ridgway under date January 29, puts , Uill" , UJtSU pciuups tcALUVi IUU tiimij . He savs: The times here are exceedingly gloomy, if we look at the future. Two bad crops in succession have crippled the farmer to an alarming extent. There is no corn in the county; oats are exhausted, and there is actual suffering amongst the poor. There are very many now who have not a bushel of corn. "Still we are pushing on now better than I have ever seen for the time of the year. Every one is busy and labor is plentiful. " Xow in common parlance the times are eigne, oat mere is some earn m me county yet, and we do not believe that the oats are entirely exhausted either. Aiken's Comedy Compaicy.?Aiken's Comedy Company JefkoTi Wednesday. rhey.'I^ised a good deal- of laughter while &ere, and as that is; perhaps a fair measure of'success inicomedy they ciay be said to hiave'succeeded very well. They played on Monday eveu- . Lng to a Yerv-small house, and the more liminutive the audience', as everyone knows "the more difficult will be'the task of pleasing., Their efforts however, seemed to receive due apprecia- ' tion. ''Naval Engagements" the lead- | ing play of the eveuing was very well ;J rendered. No one doubts the fact of ' ''Admiral Kingston's" having a pr'oto:ype in real life. Nor" "was M$xy ilor- J timer all fictio"n either. The farce : which concluded the entertainment 1 svas very good. On Tuesday evening j :he company was favored with a larg- j >r house and the acting was possibly < better than that of the eveing before. Target Practice for the Ladies. -The lady who sent a bullet through 3 ;he tramp's hat a few days ago as notice of what would come next did , m admirable thing. Aside from the efiuing-influence which it doubtless j iad on the wanderer it may do much \ jood as an example. Numbers of the straggling gentry are now plodding | >ver the whole country here and every- . where., They frequently fall in when :he gentlemen are out. of course, and j n such cases it devolves upon the " adies to take care of the premises. < Besides, it is high time that the foolish lorror which most women are sup- ] >osed to have of firearms was playing ] >ut anyhow. They should not be < aught to shoot their husbands on 2 ?light provocation, if- is true, but they night as well be in position to require j parole of any man who knocks around ( he yard without permission. , TELE. COURT OF ?ESSIOXS. 1 The February term of the Court of j 3enerai Sessions for Fairfield county j >pened 011 Monday, bis Honor William j 3. Wallace, Judge of the Seventh Cir- j suit, presiding. The roll of the grand 1 ary was called and the following- " lamed jurors answered to their names: VI. D. C. Colvin, Ji D. Hogan, W. B. , Hogan, John Isenhower, A. J. McGill, ] rhomas ilcGill, W. S. McDonald, J. O. ] Nichols, John B. Propst, Win. T. j Stewart, W. G. Smith, D. G. Smith, ^ Elobt. G. Simonton, TTm. S. Steven- ] >on, "Win. L. Timmons, "W. H. TViHiibrd. ? Mi*. J. D. Hogan was appointed ( breman, and the grand jurors were ] >worn in dae form. \ His Honor then proceeded to charge ( he grand jury as to the duties which t ,hey should be callcd upon to discharge i luring their term of service. - s Contenting himself with a brief statement of the duties devolving lpon the grand jury, his Honor first stated that the original purpose of the istablishment of the grand jury was to t ietermine who shall be tried on crimi- < ial charges.-JChe facts, in each case ( ?i ?A. iL. , A ire set jR?rwi xu. ciuu iuu jrand jury* inquire only into the truth >f the -.facts stated?not into the snl- s iciencv of thoselacts to constitnte an s )ffence _ against the law. Witnesses ^ "or the State only go before the grand ary?none for the defence. Upon the testimony thas produced, the grand ^ jury determine, not whether the ac- < ;used be guilty or not guilty, but j whether, taking the .oscimony " to be , true, the charge is probably true?that, ; in' the language of the law, there be } probable cause to put the accused on trial. If there be such probable cause, ? the grand jury must find a true bill? otherwise, no bill. In order to fiud a bill, twelve grand jurors must concur in such finding, if, upon hearing the s testimony, the grand jury think it nronla be" futile to put the accused on 1 trial, they must find no bill. "While ' the grand jury cannot consider the legal sufficiency of the evidence, yet they are to be guided by certain general principles. For instance, hearsay evidence should in no case be received, because the moment the witness, on ihe trial, should go upon the stand, < .md undertake to testify from hearsay, there would be an end of the case, for failure of proof. The law enjoins secrecy upon the gi nd jurors, respecting all that takes 1 place in their deliberations?a secrecy which must be maintained not only during the grand jury's term of service, but fur all time. These remarks will si.ili ie:?tiy guide the grand jury i.3 the deliberations upon bills submitted to them. Another function of the grand jury is to examine into the manner in whiuh the different public offices arc administered, and to report any irregularity which they may find to exist. When and how they shall act in this direction, is a matter for their own determination. The grand jury then received bills from the Solicitor, and retired for their consideration. - The roll of the petit jurors was called, and the following-named were found to be present: Ii. Wade Bricc, Thos. P. Bi ysou, Jno. W. Bankhead, Daniel Bird (colored), Charnwcll Boney, S. F. Cooper, Dennis Cason (colored), Henry C. Coleman, June Davis (colored), Kobt. D. Dunlap, John S.

Counsel announced themselves ready for trial and a jury was smpanclled to try the issue. At the close of the evidence adduced on behalf of the State counsel' agreed to submit the case, without argument, under the charge of the Court. The jury after a few moments deliberation returned a verdict of "Guilty," whereupon his Honor sentenced the defendant to imprisonment in the penitentiary, at A hard labor, for the term of Iwo years, and to pay a fine of ouc lollar.

All of the young orators acquitted themselves with credit, and after them came the debate on the knotty problem, "The Protective Tariff." It was surprising to us that they handled this subject with so much ability. From their debates it conld be readily seen that they had made a good research into the merits of the question.
