On our arrival here, in the early part of last month, we met with a cheering welcome. "We found the ladies in possession of the parsonage. They had done what they could in the way of setting the house in order for us. In the eating department a table was set, and rich provisions were spread on it. In another apartment an assortment of good things were stored away, enoagh to keep us going for days to come. The country members have been"- equal to their town kin in their thoughtful kindness. Others not of our household" of faith have kindly received us and ministered unto us of their substance. Two prominent physicians have notified me that they do a gratuitous practice for ministers and their families. It is a part of their creed not to charge ministers?a marked improvement on the j creed of certain physicians living in I another section of the country. And what is more, one of the two referred to above voluntarily pledged himself to add ten dollars to my salary this year. The first instalment came duly to hand a few days ago. So in falling into the hands of such physicians we cannot feel that we have fallen into the hands of the Philistines. A'. McA. Pittman.

Mr. Glass, and then at once proceeded to transact the business on hand. - * On motion of Mr. Egleston, it was decided to accepi the offer made by the pastor and congregation of the Methodist Church, to use their chnrch for our services on Sunday the 4th inst., and to accept the nse of (he Baptist Church for our week-day Lenten services. The pastors a.nd congregations of the Methodist, Baptist and Presbyterian Churches having promptly and generously extended to our people the use of their churches to hold our services at such times 8.3 did not conflict with their appointed services, Messrs. Egleston and Obear were appointed a committee to convey the grateful thanks ot this congregation lor their kind and warm sympathy with us in onr calamity. * The arrangement of the Thespian ' Hall as a place of worship was dele- i gated to the Vestry. Steps were Eft once taken to start a j building fund for a new church, and j $800 were immediately subscribed by the gentlemen present, and pledges j from those absent were given sufficient to raise the amount to $1,000. It is believed that altogether $1,200 can be raised in the congregation, and Mr. o cnrnmittpft. f r> VUCtti VYvfcO V solicit subscriptions from the citizens of the town. Messrs. H. A. Gaillard, J. Q. Davis and H. N. Obear were appointed a committee to discuss the advisability of procuring another site for the church building, to report at the next meeting of the congregation. | The following resolutions were unanI imously adopted: ! Resolved, That the (hanks of this congregation be gratefully extended to those persons, and especially to the boys, whose zealous and active efforts resulted in saving a large and valua j ble part of oar chnrch furniture; and to those who so kindly cared for it during the disastrous night of Thursday the 1st insr. Resolved,. That the congregation hereby tender thanks to Mr. Boag for the use of his hall. Resolved, That we extend to Mr. George El. McMaster our thanks for his kind offer of the use of the Thespian Hall, which we will thankfully accept as soon as suitably arranged. "We cannot close the report of this meeting without expressing our gratitude to this community, not only for their generally expressed sympathy, but for their active assistance in our behalf. The calamity is great and fal Is heavy upon us. Twice within the past quarter of a century have the flames devoured our church edifice and left ns without a place of worship ; but the same Hand that has upheld us in the past is with us to-day, and with brave hearts we undertake at-once the work of rebuilding.

A Number of Bailings in the Business Portion of Town Burned Down?Heroic Efforts of the Firemen?Loss S25,000. The most destructive conflagration which has visited "Winr.sboro since Sherman burned the town^ occurred on Thursday night about S:20 o'clock. As Mr. R. J. McCarlsv was goin<j homo, just as he passed the Episcopal church he saw a "small blaze in the rear \Y\ R. Doty & Co.'s stable. He immediately gave the alarm, but before ce reached the engine house and before the alarm bell had tapped a dozen limes the whole building was a mass of flames. Some men who were in the immediate neighborhood rushed to ttie stable, broke down the doors and drove out what stock they could in the extremely short time they had. The stable was filled wkh fodder, hay and other combustible matter, and so rapidly did it burn that in five minutes it was doomed. The fire deparatment was out promptly and soon had streams of water upon the buildings. So rapidly did the flames spread, however, that it was soon apparent that nothing could be saved. All the building1 in the the neighborhood of the stable were wooden structures and afforded ready fuel for the flames. The stores occupied by W. R. f>oty & Co., and L. Laudecker & Co., were soon enveloped, and in an incredible short time were burned. The flames then spread on either side burning the Jenkins house, on the north, and several tenement houses in the rear, the en gine house of the hand engine company, and Timms' store. As the fire originated in the rear of the stable which is immediately back of the Episcopal church, this building was soon in flames. The fire raged so fiercely that for a time firemen and citizens were puzzled to know what to do. All the houses on the opposite side of the street are wooden buildings and as the wind was blowing in that direction it seemed almost impossible to save them. The firemen, seeing it useless to attempt to extinguish the burning buildiugs turned their efforts to saving the buildings on the opposite side. The buildings in immediate danger were the Harden building, the stores occnpied by H. Landecker and J. Groeschel, the residence of B. Sugenheimer, the Lauderdale building and the store and residence ofR. W. Phillips. All of these, at one time or another, were on fire from sparks and the intense' heat. Notwithstanding I this the firemen fought bravely, and with their faces scorched they nobly stood their ground and played streamsof water upon the endangered houses. Companies of men were also stationed upon the houses and notwithstanding there was an abundant supply of water, the roofs caught from sparks and the beat, and, in some instances, j burned holes in the roofs. Boag's store and opera house were also in im-1 minenl danger, but both were saved. The wind was blowing almost in an easterly direction and the sparks from the burning buildings were carried across the town into the r>r\nni\- a mile or more out. jcTrom these sparks Crawford's stabie, the Duval House, Jno.-4?. Matthews' residence, Mrs. Mobley's residence and probably others caught, but a force of hands on the different roofs prevented their destruction. Mr. Doty saved nothing from his store?except papers and monev in his safe, which was found all right on opening the safe the next morning. In addition to tho total loss of his merchandise, storehouse, stable and provender, five mules and three hogs were burned, and their piteous moans were heard above the roar of the flames. Mr. Timms succeeded in opening his safe j before the total destruction of his store and secured his papers and other valuables. He saved about $1,000 in goods. Landecker & Co. succceded in A prftoll r\f tr cfnot. saving <* cixiu.il. |/vi iivii v* v?wM. | The hearse, which was .stored in the engine house, was consumed. T. "W. Lauderdale had his goods injured by water and lost his plate-glass front, valued at $60, by the same means. The JenHns house and the houses in the rear were totally destroyed, as were also most of the contents. The build| ing occupied by John Kussell was also in dan- or, but being new it did not so readily ignite as the old buildings. The losses and insurance are placed at the following, which is entirely within the correct figure: Doty?store, stock, merchandise and stable $15,000 Landecker?merchandise and building 2,500 Timms?goods and store 3,200 Episcopal Cnurch 2,500 Jenkins? building and out , houses 1,000 Engine house and hearse 1,000 Total loss $25,200 Against which there is only $1,100 insurance?$600 on building occupied by Laudecker & Co. and $500 on their stock. This makes the net loss $24,100. The only accident was the fall of Jasper Gibson, colored, from the Harden house. The fell was over twenty feet, but in falling he struck another colored man standing on a ladder, which somewhat broke the fall, and he suffered only a contusion of the V* Art Too mnch praise cannot be given the firemen who so nobly did their work, and to Mr. R. J. McCarley, the chief of the department, who so efficiently directed the work. The origin of the fire is a mystery. Mr. Doty and others are inclined to believe it incendiary, while others contend that it may have caught from smoking in the stable. This is the third or fourth fire in the vicinity, which inclines many to the incendiary uicui y. The destruction of the Episcopal church is a heavy blow to that congregation, and leaves them without a place of worship. All the movables in the church were saved except some of the seats. The memorial window to the late Rev. J. Obear was destroyed. j The congregation are not dismayed, ! but have already announced their de 4"-- ' ' termination to rebuild. Other places ; of worship have been offered, but it is ; not known at present what steps will; be taken. The fire was seen Tor miles in the; ?1- . _ I co.limy, many coming in wica ineir laborers to assist. The following telegram was received by Capt. H. A..Gaillard: "Draw on me lor one hundred dollars to help rebuild the Episcopal church^ R. S. Desportes." Colombia, S. C. AXXIVEZSARY OF TELE B. P. V. Celebrated in Royal Style at the Winns^ boro Hotel. The Bachelors assembled in the Thespian Hall at S.30 o'clock on "Wednesday night. Six candidates were secured under lock and key in a roonr below, not having a very inviting appearance, and by its gloomy and solitary appearance added much to the solemn ceremony which they I OTprA alir.nf trt Iia pflrripf? fhrnnch. One by one . they were taken into the main hall and made to climb the bill of difficulty and fly on the wings of the morning, aud after this conducted into a solitary place, there to reflect upon their past sins.

He told the bachelors how seductive they were and warned them that if they would be consistent, to steer clear of the siren songs of sweet sixteen. "She is not built that wav"?responded to by Mr. W.

The town is in a flourishing condition. A fine school building and several churches. On Monday night we reached Mr. Sam'l L. Dixon's nearly frozen. Mr. D. kuows how to treat a weary traveler, and for which we are greatly indebted to him. We saw nothing of importance on Tuesday.' The farmers on the road are preparii% their lands for another big crop year. We dined at the Rev. Mr. Mellichamp;s on Tuesday, and a splendid ' dinner we had. Mr. M. is remarkably well preserved for one of his years. May he be spared for many years of usefulness to his congregation. We arrived at- Mr. John D.

Mr. Harrison has especial thanks for his kindness to your canvassing agent. On Wednesday we left Mr. Harrison's and started towards the river, bnt after missing our road once or twice we concluded to go towards Sawney's Creek. We dined at Mr. R. C. Reeves' on that day. Mr. Reeves also runs a store. We reached Mr. W. R. Kennedy's nn Wpdnr-sdav uicrht harllv shakp.n nn. Mr. Kennedy is a progressive farmer, and liens all his hands from his own store. We took dinner with Mr. W. Barren Hogan on Thursday, who may properly be called Intendant of Centreville." Mr. Hogan owns a large public gin-house and mill. He was preparing to srind when we wore there. He does also a good business in his store. We accepted the hospitality of Mr. H. O. Duke on Thursday night. Mr. Duke has become "tired" of colored labor, and has only white labor employed for this year. May our farmers follow his example and thereby give white men honest emplpyment. A- TV * ,1 " _ .
