On Thursday Intendant Cummings and Chief McCarlej made an investigation of the Dotj fire. Several witnesses were examined including colored people living ir "the neighborhood," but nothing in the way of positive evidence was obtained, Several of the negroes living in the neighborhood had had rows amongst ' * - ? ^ tnemseives, anu wuucsscs, cA^ncoa*.u opinions concerning whom .they thought had committed the deed, but such evidence, of course, was in no way satisfactory. One result ot the examination was, however, to show with some degree of probability that I the fire was of incendiary origin. ; This being true we hope that the fiend, whopver he is. inav bo speedily found and punished. ?A paper has established the following rates for puffs: To call a man a "progressive citizen," when it is known that he is 1nr?7sv>- +Vior? o nnrrofiriTnonf. mnlp $1,7.\ la/jiuau a gvfWAuiuvMv Referring1 to a deceased citizen as "a man whose place will remain unfilled," when he knows he was the best poker player in town, $2.17. v Calling a female "a talented and refined lady, a valuable acquisition to society," with variations, $1.75. Calling a man a liar during a camDaisrn to advertise him, 25 cents. Calling a new-made lawyer "a legal light of whom the profession should be proud," $1.25, But when we tell the public that the "New High Arm Davis Vertical Feed Sewing Machine" is the most complete, best appointed, and most desi> able, all things consideredwe expect the hearty thanks of our wives and mothers, sisters and daughters, as our full compensation ana complete reward, j Mum Party.?The mum party was held at Mount Zion Institute on Friday night. To call it a mam party is paradoxical?it was anything else. The room wfis a perfect Babel of voices, so mnch so tiiat tbe musicians had to request the audience to be mum jnst for a minute to^allow them to tune their instruments. Even this did not have the desired effect. One should notjudge that the party was a fcailnre ou account of the talking. On the contrary it was the very thing desired by those in charge, for after entering the door if one spoke a word the fine was 10 cents. After having spoken one was at liberty to talk asr much as desired. It is safe, to say theu that the revenne frdm this source was considerable, for there was a large attendance. The'only persons who did not not talk were Messrs. H.N. Obearand W. L. McDonald. Sapper was served in the rear rooms of the building. The ladies must have taken extra care in preparing tb&supper, for it is the universal verdict that it was the best that has been served in Winnsboro for \ many a day. It seemed more like a p'rivate supper in its general aspect than a public' one. Music was fur msbed by the string baiid, iu? leadership of Mr. J. "W. Seiglei^^yL . -?!

The Beaper seemed to ; say:'"Shall I have nanght bat- the [ bearded grain?" ai d snatched from i our midst the young, vigorous and ; hopeful?the favorite in the family i and neighborhood. Althongh a com: parative stranger among u?, the family having removed from a contiguous State, he had beenjiere long enough to make many friends by his cheerful, attractive and accommodating spirit. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Mr.,Ariel pastor of the Methodist church. A krge congregation testified their * sympathy with the family. Strange to say, an epidemic, something like cholera, h:is been prevailing in Ridgeway ana our vicinity. Farming and gardening are backward for the season, on account of frequent rains. There is a growing interest in live J cfm>k nart.ir.nlarlv cattle. Mr. W. E wkww"? I / r Wilds, in two days last week, bought twenty-five head for grazing purposes, and expects to purchase many more. The ladies of the neighborhood are anxious for Maj. W., of your town, to arrange for a camp hunt as early as convenient, bringing his unfailing pack to drive old reynard to parts unknown. They promise him abundant sport, heightened by consciousness of rtmno* crnnd for all the house wives. D ~ The sly fox makes bold raids, even in daylight, on immediate premises, regardless of the v any efforts of a few colored hunters. * ALBION DOTS. Beautiful spring, lovely spring is fast approaching: upon us. Its fipra ing was heralded a month ago byrobin red-breast, but we did not gice iru^ch heed to the saucy warbler and allowed spring to encroach upon us and push us with its ever-recurring, duties. The little messengers did hot meet with the reception they deserved, for many of them had their heads shot off by thoughtless boys. Bill A:rp I says it is entirely wrong to shoot a robin, and I agree with him. I notice that a good many farmers who have not used any for the last; four or five year;- are buying a good tfeal of guano for this year. I hope they will never have cause ..to regret it. Some of them intend planting small patches of cotton on" the intensive system, which seems to be sac ceeding so well in Georgia, ana witn a view probably of taking a part in your well suggested scheme of prize clnbs, which we hope_will meet with a practical endorsement by the formers throughout the county.* The mumps are prevailing in the neighborhood, much to the discomfort of your-correspondent.

Editors: I have received several letters of inquiry from my former friends concerning Hot Springs. The city has a resident population of 12,000a with,at least 5,000 visitors all the time, three li.nes of street railway, double track, free mail delivery, Water works, gas and electric lights, and the best market, I believe, in'the country, j.
