Frozen up.?The down freight on Monday was delayed at this place sevaral hours on account of the freeze. No water could be gotten between here and Chester, and the train was left here until the engine could go to the tank at Blyt'newood for water. This shows the state of the weather.

Two Bales of Cottox Stolen.? Considerable excitement has been occasioned in the northwestern section of the county, by the larceny, on Christmas night, of two bales of cotton belonging to Mr. David Crosby. A searching party found on Sunday one bale of the missing cotton in a gully, near the Buckhead place, nearlv six milpR frnm thp sr;rp.to- of Mr. Croshv. About Ave miles from the screw, a place which looked as if cotton had been unloaded was found by some of the searchers, bat up to latest accounts no trace of the other missing bale could be found. Death ok an old Negro.?On last Sunday, Adam Blake, an old colon d man living on Mr. H. L. Elliott's place, breathed his last. Perhaps no citizen ..r 4 _:?u iu uuriuwii wiw uciier awjuttiuiw wiuj j the history of Winnsboro than o'.d Adam. He came to this place in 1813 a mere lad, and had lived here continually ever since. He had a remarkably memory, remembering the merest details o f happening in and around the town for over half a century. To illustrate hi* wonderful memory, we have only to say that he hauled the town clock from Charleston, and remembered the we;ght of almost every article connected with it. He was respected by both race?, and all will join with us in saying "peace to bis ashes." The Cold Snap.?It is a rare thing that onr people are forced to experience such weather as we have had for the past few days. In fact the old saying that the "oldest inhabitants" never experienced any such weather, has been remarked frequentln within the past week. It seems to be a geneial cola speil over the entire country. In Minnesota the mercnry ran down to 40? below zero, and in other places it went down as far as 52? below zero. Conductor Sprinkle remarked on Saturday, that he had been employed as a conductor on the Charlotte, Columbia ifc Augusta Kail road for eleven years, audit was the first day he had worn' an overcoat the entire day, and that it was the most disagreeable dav he had ever experienced. There has been a general freezing up, and at present there t? be no hope of a change. Wood is in good demand as a consequence of the snap. Relating to Tramps.?At a recent meeting of the Town Council, the question of how to rid tke town of the nuisance of tramps, came up for consideration, and was finally disposed of by the enactment of an ordinance, which if properlv carried out will do much to rid our town of these pests, ft provides that should any vagrant E>erson of the class commonly known is "tramps" be seen entering the premises of any citizen or be complained of DV any citizen of begging he shall be irrested ov the police and brought before the Intendeut and giveu a hearing. Shonld he be found guilty of the charge ic shall be imprisoued in the guard iou*e for twenty-four hours and then :;iken to the corporate limits aud dis;harged, And if after this has been tone, he again be brought before the [ntendent, he shall be imprisoned for i term not less than fifty-eight hours, [t is well known that this class of persons have communication with each >ther, and shonld one violate the or li nance and be convicted, it will do nuch to rid our town of this worthless ;la<s of men. The ordinance will appear in fall in the next issue of this japer. Important to Applicants.?At a neeti'jg of the Fairfield delegation on Monday morning, the following action cvas taken in regard to filling the trial URtice offices of the county under the aw recently passed by the Legislature [t was decided to clect a board of examiners, who will take charge of the ;A.ttiuiu?uuu auu i cyw iu^-oukimiiig >f the different applicants. Messrs. J. E. McDonald, J. R. Delaney, and r. E. Bell were elected the committee. [11 making this ^election, the delegation ;>aid due.regard to having the different professions represented on the board, rhe examination will be held in the Jouri House on Saturday, the 17th nst., at 10 o'clock, and all applicants . ;vill come prepared to enter into the examination on that day. Postal cards will be sent out notifying parties, but in case no such notice be received, -hose interested should consider this rrntW Thp PTftminfttinn xferill not be at all regid, only questions of general knowledge will be asked. This method is adopted for the satisfacti on of all uartiea, in case they should fail to secure the appointment, as under this system all stand upon equal footing, aed will receive the appointment upoft'their own merit. After this board has passed upon the examination papers they will be submitted to the delegation for their consideration. Of course the examination will be wriUen. No hrrextion to Lynch.?As we went to press on Monday, we I.ad been informed that there was an attempt made to lynch the negroes confined in ja ', charged with burnng a barn near the residence of Mr. Daniel Hall, aboat ten miles from Winnsboro, and of thesobseqnent removal of one of the negroes to Columbia for safe keeping.' From a thorough investigation of the action of the crowd, and statements made by them, we hardly think there was any intention to lon/tk A 1 V? A VI A IJ iivlif Z.U.UKJU?ll IUC OUCilU uau guuu reason to believe that such was the intention at the time. He had been informed on the evening before that there had been murmurs of an intention to lynch the negro, Ben DuBose, and he bad expected to take the prisoner to Columbia on the morning I fteightj bttt thottgh it was hftrdly necessary, as there would be a large crowd in town on Salesday and that an attempt would hardly be made in da}lteht. The crowd went up into the jail, we are informed, to see if anything could be learned from the ! nt-groes which would tend towards j showing their guilt of the crime charg-; ed against them. Connecting what ( he had heard the evening before, with the fact that the crowd \va< larger than wa? necessary to make inquiries of the negroes, the Sheriff ccitainlyl had ample reason for funning the conclusion which he did, and taking the precaution to send the negro to Columbia. From all that we could learn, we think it hardly probable that any j: harm to the negro was intended bv the j, crowd. ITEMS FROM JiL AC K STOCK. (Chester Reporter.) ?Mr. W. F. Coleman has rented , A. Douglass' dwelling in town and i will move into it very goon. ?Mr. Willie and Miss Mary Van j Ness, of Charlotte, have spent the hoi- j idavs here with their grand-mother, Airs. Rosborongii.

To the News and Iltrald: We no? tice in your i>sue of Tuesday, headed "An Attempted Lynching," which we suppose has reference to ourselves. On Monday we met the jailor on the street, and told him we would like to accompany him into the jail, when he went to give the inmates dinner, he ' told us to come in at 3 o'clock. We went at the appointed hour and started in the jail, our business being to speak j to one of tne parties accused of burn- j iug the crib on Mr. Hall's place last 1 "'aaI* Wlion flio SliniMff ill n ( W IT UWil Uiv IU ?? % rage and said he had this game played \ oil him once before, brit was sure it would not be done again. We told him at the time that he was entirely mistaken, that we only wanted to j , speak to one of the inmates. If we j ? have violated the law it was wholly ! j unintentional. To prove further that | ' our intention was not to lynch the*e j J parties, when we arrested them, we , promised them protection and a trial, i they were earned to Mr. Hall's dwel- j ling-, and one kept in the back piazza * and the other in the kitchen until th^y were taken to a place of trial. And if it 3 had not been that we begged the crowd not take the law in their own hands, ' we feel assured that, they would have ( been killed before they reached the jail. Their own color would have ' taken an active part in it. !

NOTES FROM WRITE OAK. Messrs.

Xot- ' withstanding the stringency of the money market, we have had the liveliest and most enjoyable Christina?, by old and young, that we have had for many years. The White Oak Literarv Society gave an entertainment on the night of the 17th December in the school-house to a large aud attentive audience. The first piece was au "Imitation of a Granger." every one acting their part well, being encouraged by the applause from the audience, when the curtain cropped. They entered into the next piece with renewed energy to hold, if possible, the renown already won. The second was "Marrying a Poetess by an old Bachelor fifty years of age third, "What is in a Name;" fourth, "There is many a slip betwixt the Cup ?.L. T.V.!)

The closing scene was a song by old Uncle Ned?"Lay Down de Shovel and dc Hue." The whole was interspersed *ith music on the piano by Miss Nellie Lathan, assisted by Miss Douglass, of New Hope. Thus ended one,of the most enjoyable entertainments that it has been my privilege to attend in many a long day. At times it was almost impossible to hear what the actors was saying for the applause by the audieiice. It was now ten e'clock and the audleuce was loth to leave, bat after -congratulations the crowd dispersed for the night. The Society met ou Monday night, the 21st, and found, after paying all expenses; they had a iiiee iitfteltattS =oti hand, It "was then resolved to apply the proceeds towards a Christ- ? mas Tree, and the proceeds, if any, ^ from the tree to go to the benefit of e the orphans at the Thornwell Orphan- e a2"e.
