Muttecd, near Eockton, was totally destroyed by fire. The loss is estimated at $$08, fully covered by insurance. The origin of this fire no one can conjecture. Many suppose it to have been The Trial Justice Courts.?The trial justices were kept busy on last Wednesday hearing minor cases. In one of the cases the jurisdiction of the -court was attached on the ground that the new law, governing- the trial .justice courts took from them their jurisdiction of cases arising out of their of Cattle.?A num f^p^en cn ln t0Tvn irom thc ^vcd ^ Ifjfcr the past two day?, inform c0U"tl?^Bb cattle are dying np in con11X9 ^ \ce?the co*^ vreather.

He has already-placed i ! eighty thonsand pounds iri the build- j | ing, and is not yet through. The ice | i has been taken from the pond- of Mr. | G. B. McCants, near Winns"boro, and is from five to eight inches thick. The proprietor is alive to the wants of the ; public, and will be prepared to furnish ! his customers nexr summer v.uu w j preserved from the county." _ 1_ j The Sheriff's Boarders.?There | ; are now in jail twenty-one persons j awaiting trial at the next term of the Court of General Sessions, charged with most every "conceivable crime. j Three of these parlies will be tried for j their lives, two for burniug the barn iofMr. IIalI, and one charged with ! rape. The others are generally chargI ed with minor offenses. They have j been kept as comfortable during the ! A oi troc rxvssihle tinder | wiu ?? vaiu\,t ^ ii ?v ^ v-? ! the circumstances. "With this outlook, j and a number of other parties out on | bond, the Court of General Sessions will be kept bnsy for a week or more. "Worsethan 1835?Mr. J. M. Elliott, I Sr., perhaps the oldest citizen of I W'mnsboro, and who has lived in j town for over three-quarters of a century, says that never in his memory | has he experienced such weather as | we had last week. lie remembers ! distinctly the cold of 1835, and savs I that while the weather was probabh j as cold i hen as last week, it was not | as long duration. Ice measured by j him last week was found to he seven > and one-half inches thick, and he leels confident that it did not reach that thickness in 1835. When we consider I the remarkable memory which Mr. Elliott possesses, it is rerv probable that it served him correctly on this subject. The Examination.?Xotwithsland! ing the inclemency of the weather on i Saturdav, a dozen or more applicants I for trial justice appointments were examined by the board of examiners. ! More than half of the applicants, who j had filed their applications with the ; Governor were detained, some on acj count of sickness and others on account j of the extreme disagrees Die weamer. | Some arrangements will be made (o j hold another examination in the near j future, iu order to give those who : -n-era absent a trial. In two of the i judicial districts, there was only one j applicar^to each district, and neces| sariiy no competition. As both of I these gentlemen aie now holding office j under the old, it is presumed thai | will receive the appointments. [Since 1 going to press we learn that the exarn! nation will be on Saturday the 23d.] i The Coast Lixe Restaurants.? I The Atlantic Coast Line have assumed ! control of all the eating-houses on the { line of their roaf3 south of Richmond. Restaurants are at Weldon, Wilmington and Florence. A. corps of French cooks have been engaged and have j made arrangements to supply their i tables with beef, mutton and poultry { from New York, butter from Philadel| phia, fish and oysters from the Chesa ; pease ?>ay, hxju vegtuaujes nuu from Florida. The Northern tourist on his annnrl pilgrimage to the South will be well taken care of.

A Worthy Object of Charity.? ; During the progress of the fire on last j Thursday, "Old Aunt Matilda"' who j lived in the small house adjoining the burning building, had to be carried from her house on her bed, where she lay sick when the alarm was given. Her house was totally destroyed with most of its contents. She, it will be remembered, was the first person in the county who paid taxes to the j xiarapion uovenimeiu in iv, us win j be seen from the treasurer's books. I She was not (o suffer, as was seen before the burning building had been destroyed. Mr. W. R. Doty soon had a petition written out, and heading it with a liberal subscription started it in circulation, and we are happy to state I with a general and liberal response ! from our citizens. Should any one ! who has not been seen desire to con I ?i.. A_ i ?^ l*,. i u iuuie 10 ucr renci u?ii uu i?y tanj ing at the store of Messrs. W. R. Doty ! &Co., or by leaving their contribu| tions at this office whicb will'be promt| lv turned over to Mr. Doty. New Cars.?On last Friday two new railroad cars, a first-class and a second-class passenger coache3 were placed on the Charlotte, Columbia & Augsta Kailroad. They are entirely new and were built at the Company's shops in Columbia. The workmanship shows the fact that we no longer need to send North for our fine railroad cars. They were after the style of the Pennsylvania cars, and present equally as handsome appearance both inside and outside. The door<- are considerable larger than those of the old cars, and they have many conveniences which the old ones do not possess. The seats are handsomely gotten up, and hardly as close together as in the old ones, while the backs aie neatly covered with fine leather. The i workmanship inside is rery handsome ! every corner being neatly finished and | painted. Their first trip was made I under charge of Captain Clarkson, : who informed us was made without ; the slightest delar The old ones have , been turned into the shops, and will i undergo a thorough repairing. The ; Company weJI deserve thanks for their appreciation of the want? of the traveling public. On ox Bv/.vd.?Wade Ford, the colored man who has been confined In j X Wnn?PBMW0??PIMM??H? j our county jail since the middle or j latter parr of la^t summer, charged I with selling whiskey without a United States license was on Friday released j on bond. While noting this fact, we j I cannot refrain from commenting upon j I r,f I aw in some cases. He j lias been in confinement for five or six j months, and h.is yet !o stand his trial I at Greenville i:i April next, and from i what we can learn, without the slight-! est chance of a conviction. We do not j wish to be underwood as even insin-j uating that there was not sufficient J evidence before the commissioner to ! bind him over for trial, fur there was. j I I I - .' > .x.ttOiwifhAl t !

I home for him. In our judgment it is one of those peculiar cases for which j there seems to bo no remedy, and one [ which works a verv great hardship to j j the accused. j A SARROW ESCAPE. Fire in Bad Farr of Congress Street? j The Good Work of Engine and People i Prevents a Destructive Conflagration. j A little after one o'clock" on Thurs-! day last the alarm of fire was sounded, I and the crowd that quickly turned out observed quite a volume of smoke is- j suing from the ca>! end of the building' | occupied bv Messrs. (iroeschel & Co.,! on the west side of Congress street, | just south of iho large wooden stable < of Messrs. A. Williford & Son. Both j fire companies re.-ponded with their | usual Dromptness, and were soon at! * I the court-house cistern. The-hand; engine started immediately to work, but it was soon fou:ul that this machine was useless, owing to the frozen con- j I rittimi of if* ntunns. Meantime the V*4V4V" w " ? 1 1 steamer was making ready, but some I minutes were necessarily lost, owing to the fact that (he wise precaution hud been taken during the late freezing weather, to keep lamps burning in the fire-box under the boiler. These lamps had first to be removed, and then the fire built outright. The time thus lost was, indeed, hard to spare, but it is safe to say that if the officers ot {lie fcieam x?ire j^ugine uuinpuu* u?m not used the precaution of the lamps, the machine might have proved, like the hand-engine, altogether useless. Nineteen minutes after the alarm, a powerful stream poured on the burning building, and its good effects were very soou perceptible. The wind was blowing about southwesterly, and the fire soon spread from the eastern end of the building-, whete it originated, over iis entire length. A second stream was lortcd .fuaaL-ihg^e&mcr_ and by skilful use of the water from these?playing, as necessity seemed to demand, upon the burning building, upen Williford's stable, and on the wooden buildings south of Groeschel's, the flames were held in check. Everybody worked with a will, and though there were, of course, the ex citement and flurry always attending a lire in Winnsboro, yet this one may be said to have been very well managed. The small building occupied by Matilda Rosborough, a well known j colored woman, just south of the Groeschel store, took fire, and it was j thought be^t to pull it down?which j was soon done. This building was totally destroyed. The building of Patrick Jenkins, colored, two doors south of Groeschel's, took fire, but a timely stream soon put this out. Williford's stable took tire two or three* limes, but the use of w ater in buckets, and from the steamer also, saved the buildinsr entire. ? The location of the fire rendered it ' likely that great damage would be done. To the north stood the large j WUUllCil UllllUIiiX \JI JJLtooio. Miiuwm i & Son, 111 which was stored a large quantity of fodder and other good food for fire. Had the stable caught, it is likely that it would soon have gone, and then the danger to the Bank building would have been very great, the office of The News and Herald, a simple wooden building, would have gone, and all the houses, for one square TTTA-f nf flio ctdhlo ronnlrl hftCP lippn endangered if not destroyed. On the j other hand, had the fire spread south-, ward, the destruction wonld have in- j eluded the clump of wooden buildings 011 Congress street, and, at least, the Episcopal church 011 Liberty street. The Groeschel building was almost entirely destroyed?the walls and * * ? t I .i? some cnarrea woouworK oemg an 01 it remaining. The property belongs to Mrs. Regina Gadsden, and was uninsured. The stock of Groeschel & Co. was almost all saved. It was insured for $1,000. Matilda Rosborough's loss is about $75, and she had no insurance. Messrs. AVilliford & Son request us to return their thanks to the firemen j and citizens for saving their property i from destruction. In thisacknowleclg-! = ! iiient (he proprietors of The News and Herald beg leave to nnite most heartily. Had the stables burned, their office would surely have been destroyed, and they would have suffered great annoyance, if no loss of property. They had made preparations, i:i case of need, to save all the movable property in the building?and to save it in such shape as to be ready for use the day after the fire. J To the efforts of {lie citizens, colored as well a* white, and most especially to the splendid work of the steamer, is cue ihe fact that we have been spared fr in the consequences of :t most serio is conflagration. The origin of the fire is unknown, j but it is supposed to have been acci j dental. REMOVAL. THE undersigned respectfully infonns his patrons ami the public generally that he has removed his Barber Shop to the olcl stand of the late Logan E. Brown, where he will be pleased to serve all that will give him a call. Janl9fx2 E. F. CALDWELL. DANGER m DIMPLES. A young lady well known in Philadelphia society circle?, where she is a shining light nnd a general favorite, is just row sulIVringr the punishment of her vanity in regard to the existing feminine craze for dimples. In seeking to acquire by irtHieial means "tjios;: hollow CaVeS. II'OSC ruuim, tilljmiu.jij; jyiv-7. with which Xa'ure !ia<! not endowed her beauty, she has probably become somewhat disfigured for life. She is a charming blonde, and her mishap will evoke sinevre regret among Iter large circle of fr'onds. About a year ago an exceeding suave young man. calling himself "Prof. King," arrived in Philadelphia from 15<?ton. He took up his quarters in a boardinir-house on Spruce street, anil hail hi* name tastefully engraved on a polished brass plate on the door. He had a splendid suite of rooms. Within a few days he sent out a number of confidential circulars- anion# society ladies. He undertook to produce perfectly natural-looking dimples on any lady's checks for> 10 a pair! He secured a large patronage for his peculiar work. Society ladies could be found at any period _ of the day in his magnificent waiting-room. The dimple factory was a success, and the dear, delightful young ? 1 :* - "" o fomr'itn man uuciunu aogiuav <.1 the charming productions of his peculiar art. He was veiy handsome and very gentlemanly, and dressed to kill, while he was a captivating talker, having a rich musical baritone, over which he had absolute control. The foolish maiden visited him about six weeks ago. Prof. King explained to her the process of "dimpling," and claimed that it was harmless and painless. Whatever misgivings she had were conquered and she submitted to the operation. She paid thefee of $10 in advance, and was taken into an anteroom and seated in a plush-colored chair resembling that of a dentist. Then she was told to smile. She did so. The next moment she uttered a scream, and jumping from a chair would have fled from the room but that the "Professor" detained her. "My dear miss." he said, "you must nnf- Km friirlm>no<L Tt is merelv a scarcely perceptible prick on either | cheek." Both the girl's cheeks were bleeding. With a pair of forceps the "Professor1' hail cut a minute portion of the skin and underlying llesh from either check at the center of the required dimple. The young lady, after mifch persuasion, calmed herself, while the Professor"' applied some balsam to the i 1 * Tl/Isvnn I ffOlUlU lO Sl<jp IUU Ult'UUIU". j. Ilia vtviivp, I he washed away the blood and covered | the puncturc with a small piece of court! plaster which, when he had finished, was invisible. This was the preliminary treatment, and he directed the patient to call early the following day. Notwithstanding application of the healing ointment the lady found her left cheek rather painful. She could not sleep that night, and the next moving per face was considerably inflamed, she became alarmed and hurried to sec Prof. King. He appeared somewhat i disifnmfiti'il when he saw her. After a microscopical examination of the puncture in her left cheek his blandness returned. "Do not be alarmed," he said. "I assure you it is nothing.* Simply when I applied the forceps you started, and the result was that the forceps cut deeper than I intended. I will treat the wound now. and you shall be all right, again." But the professor's treatment, while it^ I hid the wouD'I '*'(L U r'thn~* i Teassriririg suavity was j insufficient to allay the young lady's ; distress. She hurried straight to the j family physician and stated the wliole ! case to him. The doctor removed the court-plaster and examined the "dimple bed.-1 "The rascal has produced a dimp'o that will last all your life,"' he said, but I don't think it is one which will enhance your smile. The forceps nearly i pierced through the cheek. As tho flesh has been removed, a scar will remain." The wound has now healed, and, true to the doctor's prediction, a disfiguring, etiu-liko scar remains. On the right | eheek, however, there is a beautiful dimple. The doctor endeavored by even- means to avoid the scar, but failed. The skin is so contracted as to remove the scalp when the unfortunate lady speaks. She has naturally been very much annoyed by the mishap, and fears as much the ridicule which her act may call forth as the disfigurement. A correspondent writes: I noticed in the Evening Post of Nov. 2 a specimen of German translation which brought to my mind a sentence I took from an old German grammar some time ago, which perhaps may be new tp you; 5'A blindbecome hen*, who to the scratching accustomed was, after that she blind became ceased not to scratch. Of what to the poor fool availed it? Another seeing hen, who her tender feet wished -to spare, this observing, yielded not from her side; and as often as the blindbecome hen a grain upscratched had, ate it the seeing one away."?N. Y.
