Blair, brought to town and turned over to the custody of the Sheriff Emeline Green, who is charged wiih having' caused the death of her husband, Jim Green, by poisoning him, by giving' him a close of "Hough on Hats". It appears that Jim died and was buried on February 2Gth last and nothing said at that time about any foul play, but on the 10ih inst., owing to some rumors and charges of foid play, the Trial Justice ordered the body exhumed and a post mortem held. The Coroner's jury had j to base their verdict on the eridcnc.as lo the symptoms describing' his death (as there was no chemical ani alysis of the stomach) and the cxami! nation, which shows very many syrupj toini of a ca-e of poivMiing.

Messrs. Editors: During the past decade there has boon, probably, no subject or question involving :he interest and advancement of the town more than that of the location of the J Industrial School for Females"', as | proposed by a recent Act ?f the Legislature, to be built and located on ccri ' | tain terms and ronditn>iis, approved by ' a committee of three persons?two : being female?. It is unnecessary to fay anything in regard to the curriculum to be adopted, ' * Anni.ftMAn in Cllcli | or |in (.'(jtirtiiuii j That, no doubt, will bo widely prcj pared. The main question for consid| eration by tho community i* to make | the effort to secure the building site I or location tor such a:i institution. : Two point?., seems to me, worthy of j consideration only?first, the r^nfral : location of such school, making it I easily cud spew.liUj accessible. Ootside | of Columbia, I know of no town more I favorably situated in tliis respect than ; Winnsboro, as every one can sec for I himself. Secondly, the healthfuiness j or taniurv conditions of the place. I iii this respect, i uo not ueueve ; there is a spot in the State more healthy; : there are no local causes for disease: j the town is upon an elevated ridge, in | thr best latitude for pure water; the ; temperature is such as not uucomfortj able either summer or winter. It is unnecessary to state further any other ! advantages to recommend the town. ! ! The practical subject of most impor- i j tanc^ for consideration is this: j What are the inducements to offer to j I satisfy the committee and secure I heir i ! acceptance of our proposal? J, therefore, briefly suggest thai- the Council call a meeting of the voters j and get an expression of opinion in j regard to the propriety of donating the i park, and al?o a two or three-acre lot j adjoining for a proximal building, and then raising an additional ai&ount j | ol hy an issuance 01 ooimm u> ; i run twenty five or thirty years. | This appears possible ami probable that the committee, after a visit here, i may accept the propsition made them, j If so, the future will justify the proj posal. It' not, then nothing lost, j nothing gained. a. ?"After a varied experience with j many so-called cathartic remedies, I j am convinced that Avers Pills give the most satisfactory results.

A great many 1 have been conjecturing as to what , route it will take if built. Let the < company survey the different routes [ and then the hand writing will be on the wall, to use a scriptural phrase in ' a practical way. A great many want the road to run right by their doors: some want it to run just in sight of their house; and J some do not want it to run through ; p their plantations but don't care where ! it runs just so they will build a station ! within three or four miles of where ! ~ they live. If tliere v?*us 10 oc un eiec . lion held to decide and locate the line j r of road. J fear it would he a complete i failure, for we could not get enough | ]j to agree on one line to make a qourum i t if they were working in an organized ! capacity. I think your many renders j in this section of the county would be very glad to hear something .favorable " concerning the road. They hare complied with the companies* proposition. " and thereby showed a willingness to . do anything within their power to | i develope the agricultural, mechani- ; : cal. and financial interest* of the I county. The railroad question is ab- t sorbing a large share of public atten- < tion, and justly so, for we are badly in > need of railroad facilities. It would be a marvel to see a well j equipped train of cars run over a line \ of railroad through this section. Some ] would just stop their plow and hold their horse by the bridle for fear of a ? runaway: others would, perhaps. oe n overcome with delight ami let luo.se j plow stock, line and all.
