C. so Winter-?On last Saturday and Sunday the town was wrapped in a mantle of ice and presented a picture which we think would rival the splendor of Arctic scenery. We have however, never traveled in Polar Regions. m The Colored Firemex.?The colored firemen were out on parade with their engine on Thursday evening, presenting altogether a very creditable appearance. They drew up at the cistern of Mr. Phillips and took a half hours exercise. Death.?Mrs. Martha B. Walker wife of James B. Walker who lives near liidsewar in this county died Monday after a long and severe illness. She was a very estimable lady and her death brings sorrow to the entire community in which she lived. Sudden Death .?Mr. W. B. Danlap, an aged and highly respected citizen of this county, died very suddenly on Sunday, falling dead, it is said, while walking about bis premises. He had reached the advanced age of seventy-three years. BequiesL - -cat in pace. The Freeze. ?The recent hard freezes have played havoc with the shade trees oil. the sidewalks. The water oaks it is observed have not been hurt but other varieties have yielded to the pressure of the ice. This fact may be considered by parties who are now putting out young trees for shade AimomAnf V4 Vt n?mvw Death of Prof. Wardlaw's Mother.?Profl Ward law, of Mt. Zion College, was called home a few days since by a telegram announcing that his mother was dangerously ill. We notice an aocount of her death in a recent issue of the Ifews and Courier. He has the sympathy of his numerous friends here in his sad bereavement. * A Neglected Obligation.?We ; have met two more gentlemen this week who say that they have not been to town in several years. We do not know how many others may be gnilty of this grave omission and we therefore take this occasion to say that it is beyond all question the unmistakable doty of every able-bodied, law-abiding ?itizen of the county to be and appear bere at least once in eTery year. fteoss Examikation.?Witness in I Court?Attorney for defence: "You say you told defendant that you coald not purchase his lamps, for the reason that yon had no money?" "Yes." "You afterwards purchased them?* "Yes." "Then you did have money?" "Yes." "Then you told a lie?' Witness, hesitating. "Well, the best of ns will do that sometimes."

The subscription price is one dollar per & annum. The paper deserves the patH ronage of the friends of education ft throughout the State. . BL A Cojoteecial Tourist comes to II&udgmuxt.?An attorney in the Court fcf Sessions last week thought to com Ind bis client, to the favor of the v by referring to him as a drummer ^ fellow it seems had been pedreroods to which he had no sort of Kle.) But the trick didn't work, y found tne votary of commerce j?Jjfe charged in the indictment, and under the sentence of the Court he will be withdrawn from the practice of his chosen profession for the period of five years. The Exposition.?There is a general expression of ?pinion on the part of the part of the Southern press that the railroads shouid put down the fare to the New Orleans Exposition. Unless this be done it is said that the great World's Fair will prove a failure. We ?7VV iivn Li iVUW bUV can be. The success of the enterprise certainly concerns them as much as it does any one else. When the country has become great, rich and prosperous the railroads may cease to fall into the hands of receivers and if there is any virture in advertisements, we mav certainly hope to derive some benefit from the Exposition. Falling by the Wayside.?Old Biliy Hudson, colored, was found dead on Sunday evening in Allen's branch near town. He was in town on Saturday and is supposed to have fallen in the branch and drowned on his return home on Saturday night. He had ii*. i __ y?_ t a -^ arntea injrty or iony yaras aown uie stream when discovered. His failure to return home was looked upon as unimportant as he was thought to be at the house of his grand-son who is said to reside in town. He is said to have been about eighty-five years old. The Coroner held an inquest on Monday, and the jury retnrned a verdict of accidental drowning. ^ . Hostilities.?Siuce Mrs. Dudley shot Mr. O'Donnovan Rossa some of the young men around here profess to be very apprehensive of great bodily harm at the hands of the gentler sex, and even suggest the keeping of ?.n improved Smith & Wesson about the person as a precautionary consideration. It would aftord us much pleasure to be able to reassure these panicstricken men, but we would not feel justified in doing so, as we have good reason. to believe that their dreaded antagonists have, as a matter of fact, but a poor opinion of some of them, and micrht. the occasion nresenting Itself, really resort to violence. We vent ore to hope, however, that all parties will make a reasonable show of forbearance. Wanted to be Free Again.?A colored hnsband somewb3t under ordinary stature, called on a lawyer at this place a few days ago and wanted to know if there was any chance to & -c a divorce. * He explained that he was a Democrat and that his wife, who was evidently a mnscnlar personage of Republican and pugilistic propensities, had been whipping him ever since he voted for Hampton in 1876. He said he thought the Democratic party ought to do something for him. The lawyer looked at his long-suffering client and marveled that there was any of him left, and advised him that as he had already suffered enough for opinion's sake, he had better now join the Republican party in the interest of domestic harmony. The Skating Rink.?The carnival at the skating rink on last Tuesday night was very largely attended, and in spite of the cold weather unusual interest was manifested by the spectators.. The costumes were very striking and certainly served the purpose admirably. "We cannot think of entering into a minute description, but may say for the benefit of those who have no idea at all of the make up for such occasions that Mr. H. L. G. wore a light gray coat receding from the top button in front rapidly to the south and terminating suddenly in point which was intended perhaps to add diornitv to the proceedings. The coat was only supplemented by a. pair of dark casbmere pants sloping outward from the centre of gravity to sucj an extent as to obstruct entirely the downward course of vision. Miss P. G. B. wore "gray silk trimmed with Spanish lace and diamond orna? meats." The skating, which lasted for an hour or so, was followed by a dance, which was of course very much enjoyed as usual.

Pending consideration of the case of the State vs. James GrifF, colored, charged with burglary, the Court on Monday evening adjourned. On Tuesday morning the case was given to the jury ana a verdict of ".Not guilty" was returned. The defense was represented by Messrs. McMaster and Hanahan. v The case of the State vs. Thomas Goode, charged with assault andbc-.tery of a high and aggravated nature, was next called. Messrs.

Verdict?"Guilty." Sentence?eighteen month=, at hard i labor, in the penitentiary. Owing to the fact that many wit- [ nesses were brought tor ward for examination the Court made rather slow i progress on Wednesday. On Thurs- 1 day the first ease called was the Slate ! vs. Nat. Hall, alias Amzi Knox, j charged with burglary and house- i breaking in daytime. Capt. T. II. 1 Clarke, of the Camden bar, appeared ( for the defense. Counsel demurred to j the iudictroent on the ground that a < church is not such a house the breaking and entering of which will amount to burglary. This*demurrer the Court overruled, and the defendant entered a j plea of not guilty. The jury empanelled to try the case found the defend- : ant guilty of burglary and recommended him to the mercy of the Court. He was sentenced to five years" im- j prisonmeut, at hard labor, in the peni- ^ tentiary.' The State vs. Joseph Rains, charged 5 with malicious injury to real property. ' Mr. Jno. S.

J The jury found the defendant "Not guilty." 1 The State vs. Sandy Robertson, * charged with burglar}'. Messrs. Rags- j dale & Ragsdale and O. W. Buchanan, ^ Esq., appeared for the defense. After < the examination of several of the 1 State's witnesses the Solicitor an- * nounced to the Court that he had ] serious doubts of his ability to maintain the first and second counts of the 1 indictment. After hearing arguments ' of counsel the Court decided that the ( indictment was fatally defective. The i Solicitor then entered a nol. pros, i npou the first and second counts, and j proceeded with the trial on the third.

Ta the Honorable Wm. II. Wallace, Presiding Judge: " The grand jury for the February 1 Term, 188o, of the Court of General 1 Sessions respectfully present: That they have duly considered the \ several cases submitted to them by the Solicitor, and have embodied their conclusions in the bills of indictment 1 upon which they have already made return. * , They have examined the offices and ' records of the Clerk of Court, the Judge of Probate, the Sheriff, the ' County Auditor, the County Teasurer, : the* SsoTinnl f^nmmiesioner and the I County Commissioners, and the resalt of the examination is entirely satisfactory. It is proper to say, however, that the present grand jury has not undertaken any minute examination into the transactions of the officers mentioned. The duty of making such inquiry was devolved upou a committee of the last grand jury, and the result of the investigation is shown in the report of that committee. This report exhibits a state of affairs which must be as gratifying to the taxpayers of the County, as it is creditable to our public officials. It shows that each of these has discharged his trust with an eye single to the interests committed to his keeping. As the report contains matters of general interest to the people of the County, we recommend its publication. The annual reports of the County Commissioners, the School Commissioner aud the County Treasurer have been submitted to us*, and we find in them nothing calling for special presentment. A A? A111' llAllv llfiVP AV. I XI V^<JUUUAllrt.CV^ VI VUi VM amined the County Poor House, and they report it to be properly managed. The inmates are well provided for, and they seem content with the treatment they receive. The total number of iumates is 31, distributed as follows: White adults, 10; white children, 8; colored adults, 9; colored children, 4. The County jail is in excellent order, and the prisoners are humanely treated. The public reads, so far as* we have been able to ascertain, are, as a general thing, in fair condition. The Board of County Commissioners seem impressed with the importance of giving due attention to the roads and bridges throughout the Couty, and it is hopecf that their efforts will result in continuing the improvements made under the administration of their predecessors. The causeway on the west end of Bell's Bridge is reported to be in bad condition. The causeway near Brown's Bridore is said to be in dansrerous con dition. Douglass's Bridge over Little River needs repairs, the abutment on the north end being in bad condition. We recommend these matters to the early attention of the County Commissioners. The Trial Jnsticcs, with few exceplions. have submitted to us their books, and we find them all neatly aud properly kept. Those Justices who have not, during the present term of Court, presented their books for examination, ire reminded that it is important that they do so at the next term of Court. The grand jury beg to acknowledge the assistance given them by the Solicitor and the presiding Judge, iu the discharge of their duties. Kespectully submitted, J. D.

Smith, for the purpose of examining the books and accounts of the several public officers of the County, with authority to employ an expert "if :hev deem it necessary, respectfully report: That, together with an expert, whom ;hey thought it advisable to employ. :hey have examined the books and ronchers of the Clerk of the Court, Sheriff, Judge of Probate, County rreasurer.

Editors: In response to yonr request for occasional "notes" from Albion, it might be well to say that from one whose limits of observation ire confined for the most part to the narrow and well beaten path of a mile n length, over which he is compelled jv circumstances to make his way near i dozen times per week, anything like nexos can hardly be expected. However, it might not be amiss to let the readers of The News and Herald inow what the people around the 'hills of Albion" are doing. Though not connected with the outside world i>y railroad and telegraph communications, still by means of the unique mail ?vstem between Albion and "Woodward's the people of this neighborhood are enabled to keep np pretty svell with the current news of the day. Intelligence, whether it be of the Exposition at New Orleans, of preparations for the inauguration of the President-elect, of dynamiters' explosions, :>r of England's war with Egypt, reaches us nearly as soon as it does hose in the Boro. Though comparatively little ploughing has been done as yet the echo of the wood-chopper's axe, and the volumes of smoke and flame seen rising here and there tell that the fanner? ibout here are not idle. They seem to be preparing to "sow bountifully" this year. May they also "reap bountifnllr!" Thnnorh this /mnnlrr ia nnno. reHtly so unadapted to farming, the scenery abont here being for the most part decidedly mountainous, still on j seeing the signs of prosperity around I here one is forced to believe that few sections of the country are any better off than Albion. Certainly none can boast of a more sober, conteuted and honorable people. There are few por tions of the country wnere yon win see more comfortable and commodious dwellings than will be found here, and tin-covered gin-houses and milis, which in some cases look like small factories are not scarce. The people of this neighborhood observe strictly the Eleventh Commandment and-"excitements" are of rare occurrence. At New Hope church there is preaching every Sunday, - which can be said of few "country churches, by the worthy pastor, the" Rev. R. G. Miller; and worshippers are seen passing on the first day of every week regardless of distance, condition of roads or weather. Judging from the number of children, of both races, seen wending their weary way to their respective Hempies "of learning" five days in the week the public schools of this district seem to be in a flourishing condition. Something like the tail end of a cyclone played about here on Monday and Tnesday, and it seems to have been followed by a rush of air directly from the North" Pole. Now the pros pects for a snow storm are very encouraging. Rusncus. Albion, February 13, 1885. OBITUARY. g. marie lyles. On the" 26th of January our sweet little friend, Marie, was called to her home above. Dear little friend, when I see your many friends and playmates who loved yon so dearly, it is sad indeed to know that never more will I see your bright and beautiful face among them?but "the young, the beautiful and the gifted must die." How like the fair young was the life of Marie, for the brief space of ten wars sVia Tvns ric t.lip fn.iro.st nf fair flow ers, now she has faded and the brightness of her smile is gone from relatives and friends. She is now a blossom of more resplendent beanty in the Mansions above. "We think of one who in her youthful beauty died, A fair, meeK blossom that grew up and faded by our side; In the cold moist earth we laid her when the forest cast the leaf, And we wept that one so lovely should have a life so brief; Tet, not unmeet it was that one, like that young friend of ours, So gentlo and so beautiful, should perish with the flowers." A Friend. In Memorlam Mary E. Cummtkgb, wife of Joseph H. Cummings, who died January 15, 1885, in the thirty-second year of her age. "Leaves have their time to fall; And flowers to wither at the north-wind's breath; Bnt thou, thou hast all seasons for thine own, 0 Death!" Most sadly again are these lines illustrated in the death of this dear friend, cut down in the full bloom of womanhood; surrounded by the blessings of earth, loving and beloved; the bright centre of a happy home circle. It needs not, however, my feeble pen to portray her many virtues;the unblemished record of her life speaks for itself. Surely she is one of whom it may be said, "TV ell done, thou good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of thy Lord." O Providence mysterious, who in Tbine inscrutable wisdom bast seen fit to deal this heavy blow, send also Thy tealing balm into the wounded hearts of her stricken ones, and enable them to say? "Thy will be done." A Fiuexd. v? iipq?waKBaa?cacnMm?a??aw??ca?^ NOTICE FOR FINAL DISCHARGE. I WILL apply to J. R.
