Mr. Mobley succeeding in extinguishing the fire without any difficulty; however, it wound have been a serious affair if not discovered so soon. This differs somewhat from the regulation negro fire, in that there was no baby locked up in the house, nor was the house consumed. Ilumor says the woman when informed of the fire in her room refused to ?0 home before church let out. ANOTHER FIRE. In tlie Country This Time. The store-house aud stock of goods belonging to Mr. S.

Assignment ?f Father Causes Assignment of Two Sons. We regret to announce this morning that there has been an assignment for the benefit-of creditors by three of the' [ principal business firms of our town. I o? ThnrofiAv fh<? lflth. the firms of I \/M A UM* VV.^. j ? ? ? j | A. Williford, Q. D. Williford & Co. j and W. H. Williford made an assignment to G. W. Ragsdale. The asset* of A.

These figures are approximately correct. The principal creditors of A. Williford are Mrs. Watson, of Y?rk, Geo. W. Williams, both banks in Winlisboro and the Chester bank. The creditors of Q. D. Williford. & Co. and W. H. Williford are principally wholesale dry goeds houses, their bills ranging from $50 to $350. . * The firm of A. Williford had several heary notes to go unpaid in bank lately and the firms of Q. D. Williford & Co. and W. H. Williford were endorsers, and were it not for this fact these two latter firms could have continued business.

ENGINEER TICKLING DEAD. - Engineer "YV. W. Fickling, who made many a trip through Winnsboro and ; who was generally known as a safe and reliable engineer, died in Columbia several days ago. He wai injured in a wreck at Graniterille about four weeks ago, but at the time his injuries were not regarded as serious, but t)aey afterwards proved fatal. His wife-' Had preceaea .nim 10 mo grave 4Uuui, five or six months. He leljt only th^ee children. His life was insured for ! the sum of $7,000. Mr. Fickling w<w about sixty-two years old. , THE FIREMAN DEAD ALSO, i Fireman York, who was injured in | the same wreck with Engineer Fickling, died just three hours and a half after the death of Mr. Fickling. lie | was lying at the hospital in Columbia, , and owing to his family having changed I their place of residence, could hear | nothing from them. He anxiously awaited the arrival of the mail carrier,but the letter never came. The railroad authorities, after a great deal of telegraphing, found that bis people were at Sophia, a station on the Weatern North Carolina Railroad; but the information came too late for any of the? to reach him, and he died without a relative by his side. He was kindly looked after by the railroad fraternities, however. SCENTED IT AMIDST CRACKER 1 BOYRS. On Tuesday morning; one of Tillman's "ti^er hunters" arrived at Blackstock and procured a horse and buggy and drove straight to Trial Justice Millers. He was only gone a short time when he letnrned and com-' mcnced to scramble around amongst J the boxes containing ireight like an i old lieu hunting a place to set. The frst box he showed any designs upon was a box containing some butter which Mr. R. J. Mackorell was shipping to Charleston. Mr. Mackorell told him he might examine the box but he must not mess up his butter. After examining the address and giving the box a shake he concluded this was not h;8 nest egg. So he proceeded with his search and presently came to two cracker boxes, one marked "P," Chester, S.C., the other, "C," Chester, S. C. He put bis nasal probocis down near the boxes, gave a whif or two, then several hard shakes, and in a triumphant manner said, "I've got her, boys." He opened the boxes and each one contained a fire gallon keg of State Rights liquor. He at once called for a tin cup and after "proving the pudding" himself passed it around to the bystanders. It is not known what his business with Trial Justice Miller was, but ?ome suppose that he has a search in view. He said he would remain in town for several days. ITEMS FROM WOODWAKD. Woodward, S.

It is feared that an elderly lady lias sustained fatal injury. It is generally conceded that the engineer of the G., C & N. is at fault, and he left at once, not haying bten seen since.

On Sunday, about 12 o'clock, as we were about to outer the Winnsboro Drug Store, we heard the deadly ring of a rerolver, and were,- naturally,' very muck sarprited and" startled to hear" shooting on Sunday. Going to the corner of the bank we' noticed Policeman Gilbert dart pass the-Vear of the bank, aiid as he ran-, waved Wfe' hand to toMow. After ho passed out of sight two more fchots rang out,-and we were still more auxious to know WD&t was uie matter. rrc mi^iuru all .sorts of things.

' When we gained the street in rear of 4he Court House we saw Tony Rosboso, colored, runaiug up the pavement toward toe oil mill. Just as he reached liardeii's corner Hamilton Hanahan; win was .returning lrom church, caught the tail of the negro's coat. Tony weighs about 191 pounds and is about six leet tall, and Hamilton is as a child by the side of him, but the wonderful pluck evinced by Hanahan made up for his statue. The negre swung round and would throw him off, and again he would sret a .^lail hold", and the negro %ould pull him along, trying to .run with his impediment swinging 011. It resembled two exhausted' cocks in a fight, one trying to run but not able, and the other only able to hold oh and no more., The nego finally got away. Mr. Gilbert followed-him as far as the Bones Hill and - then lost sight of him. Lie had the negro under arrest and was sitting ou the bench in front of the Court House. The negro's friends had gone to get his bail money, but consuming too much lime to suit the policeman,- he said: "Tony, you must get that money at ?nc9 or you will hare to make other other arrangrmenta." So Toney, owing to' the' stringency of the times and the general depression of the m?ney 'market, choae to make "other arrangements",' and he made them.

About 12 o'clock Tuesday night a colored man by the name of Ilenry Gibson rusbed into the express office *?d informed Policeman Gilbert that i there was a fire up town. Mr. A. E.

The fire, however, was set in the loft and the burning hay and fodder soon commenced to drop down through the well hole and set the stable on fire below, and in less than fiften minutes the building was beyond recovery. The stock were all gotten out safely, there were some fifteen to twenty mules -and horses in the stable at first. It was feared for some time that a pair of horses had perished in the flames, as Mr. R. 0.

The frightened mules made an attempt to go back to the fire, but were prevented by the crowd. Messrs. Doty & Co.'s loss is about $2,500, with only $800 insurance on the building. This is the second loss by fire this firm have sustained in about tix years. Their former loss was about $13,000. It is almost conclusive that the fire was intentionally set. Mr. R. Y.

In filling such orders you must set apart a separate request book, Eorm 8, specially for these orders, and fill out the request in each instance yourself, filing his or her letter as authority for same in your settlement with the proper county officials. Please acknowledge receipt. D. H. Traxler, Commissioner. The express agent at this point says j that such shipments, if properly pack-1 ed and bearing D. H. Traxler's certificate, will be received, but under his instructions will only issue shipper's risk receipt, which means that the express company will not agree to be held responsible for perishable or breakable matter; so according to the order of Mr. Traxler and the instruc tion and rule of the express company, anyone who orders by express must take his own chances of safe delivery. The freight agent, Mr. "W. B. Creight, says such shipments will be received at shipper's risk when shipped released, and the railroad company will be responsible when shipped not released, in which case a higher rate of freight will be charged. This is a general rule relating to any and all shipments. T. F.

I notice in your last issue, a contradiction to mine of Dei cember 30. In which "M. C." says I did an injustice to our community, by saying there were several dances in this section. There wa9 a dance at Mr. Cameron's, only a mile and a quarter away, but I don't know what my friend "M. C." calls the limits of this section. There were several dances about the same distance from White Oak. He says also that I have done an injustice to Rev. Smith. ..\Ye/-all like Rev. Smith and if I have done him an.injustice, I beg pardon, for it was not my intention. If my friend "M. C." could get that stupid look eff,' and travel a few miles out of ;the switch limits of our town, he would not have to have the Rev. Smith and his congregation to write a few personal*. And I beg ray friend not to kick before he is spurred, and not to go off half cocked. "M.

However on liis return he searched the depot here and opened three or four boxis and two five gallon kegs of corn whiskey each were found in :i cracker box. The boxes wore marked ''P/ and "C", Chester, S. C. They had arrived here the same night he came. I suppose they were brought by Chester through mistake. The Governor must have been expecting it. The spy is still here, stepping at Mrs. Ilosborough's. He did not search any other place. Rev. M. R. Kirkpatrick, who was called recently to the pastorate of the Presbyterian Church here, has signified his willingness to accept, and wil! arrive here about February 1, This town has suffered as much as any place of its size in the State by fire.

Messrs. Editors: The lime is approaching when t he conservative pcop'e * lion kl slate a ticket for the i next campaign, nominate and elect it. | The writer would s-uggest a ticket which he believes would win: For Governor: Col. V. E. McBee, of Columbia. For Lieideimnt Governor: C#l. Ler?y Springs, of Lancaster. Secretary of State: Marion Moise, of Sumter. Attorney General: E B. Ragsdale, or Fairlieid. Treasurer: W. L. Raddv, of York. Comptroller General: \ R. L. MeCaughran, of Newberry. i j Superintendaat of Education: j E. B. Craighead', of Clemson Colleee. , Adjutant and Inspector General: \ Jos. K. Alston, of Columbia. I Iu justice to these gentlemen, I will say that not one of them knew of this suggestion, but it is believed ii the peeple requested it they would serre. Col. McBee, the head of the ticket, has risen by his energy and ability from the ranks cf the people to the J highest position within the gift of o<ie mo Ur/,D5t tinns in the South. ] \Ji UH, ? Why should not his native State have tbe benefit of some of his talcut and ability. Every one knows the salary would be 110 inducement to him. Will South Carolina continue to let corporations employ her best talent when with the proper efiort she can secure it for the benefit of her owu interests? Every one who knows "Bunch" McBee will feel assured if he accepts our "banner" it will be to win if possible, and that he would serve the interest of the State with the some fidelity he now does the corporati?ns, which is enough. His very name at the head of ticket wunld raise tbe enthusiasm of every wage earner in the State, and carry success with it in November. Let tbe cry be "Bunch" McBee and united Democracy. The ?ther gentlemen have al! won success in their difierent avocations and are well known throughout the State for their high sense of honor> energy and ability. It is a justice due to myself to say that I hare never received anr favors from Col. McBee, not evea a "tree pass." Old Cottojt Buter. Winnsboro, S. C., Jan. 22, 1854.
