As yet the nature of the r.ases in which thev will figure is un known to us, and we suppose unknown to them.

A great many people hare a horrible dread of being buried alive, and of course such an occnrence would leave behind it a frightful vision upon the minds of those who might hare any connection with such a gastly happening. But such a case comes to ear notics right ia Fairfield County. And, but for circumstances, wbich we will relate, just such an occurence would have happened. We are informed, fiom a reliable source, that, at the staiion of Dawkin* in thi9 conKty, a common pine coffin was seen tin the depot, bv a party of two, who seemed to be strangers in the community. They very naturally asked who was dead, and 6ome reply, which did not allay their curiosity, was given. Aud ihey noticed too, an appearence of uneasiness and suspicion in the countenances of tho&e present. So fearing perhaps that a murder had been committed they still pushed their enquiries, ar.d wanted to know what hour the funeral would take place. They were informed that it would be that afternoon some time, whereupon one of the party remarked, well, "as we hare nothing el<e to do, we wil! wait for the burying." This remark seemed still further to cause a look of uneasiness on the countenances of the bystanders, and also alarmed this party of two, more than ever. So determing to make an investigation without further delay or information, they broke the lid ?f the ceffiin open and had they not done so, the spirits of six would have been buried without leaving their clay teueuaents.

" Messrs. Editors: Recently your cor- respondent had the pleasure of a trip ] :o the "historic county" of Abbeville. Such trips are pleasant at all times, j jut this was unusually so, owing to ;he object of our mission, which was ;o assist in transplanting one of the 'fairest flowers" of that fertile domain ^ to the rugged hills of Fairfield. I am r bappy to say that we have every reason to believe that this delicate opera- . ten will hat "Bachelor's Den" will soon be r ranefarmed into a "bower of beauty ind loveliness." Thus, what has been 6 Abbeville's loss will be Fairfield's?ain, t md in consideration of the great and (. )eneficial change that will be wrought o ve trust that there will be no repining. On Wednesday, January 17, accomjanied bT a companion, both on ''pleasire bent," I boarded at Alston, the^2 >'clock north-bound train ot the C. & J ri j. R. R., with tickets in our posses- f ;ion reading "from Alston to New t Market, S. C. Without t;ny incident )ther than is usually experienced in :ravel, we reached our destination in jafety, and were received and hospi- i :ablv entertained by Mr. M. A. Cole1 man, who does a large and prosper- a >us mercantile business at New Mar- e ket. Ou the evening of that day the 3uiet of this little village was disturbed . by an air of excitement aud expectancy, and the casual observer would nave surmised that something unusual was about to take place, and had he wended his way to the hospitable home . af Mr. John R. Moore near by, he would have found out what it was. r As the "calm follows the storm" in * nature, so it was in this case. At 5 about half-past live o'clock the excite- ment incident to such an occasion was 1 succeeded by a short reason of calm and happy serenity, during which Mr. D. M. Milling, of Buckhead, S. C., led to the altar Miss M. Ellie Moore, of . New Market, S. C., and were there united in the holy bonds of wedlock. The Rev. J. T. P. Anderson, ot Abbeville, S. C., performed the ceremony, and although brief, it was appropriate * and comprehensive. * After congratulations had been extended, a brief respite followed, when ( supper was aenounced. The long table, which would accommodate forty J or fifty persona at one sitting, was laden with the most tempting viands, 1 and was handsomely decorated with flowers and evergreens. The bride was the recipient ef more than forty wedding presents, which was quite a strong tribute to her popularity. All of the presents were useful, and some of them very handsome. She wa3 not forgotten by relatives in the far North, ; they, too, sending tokens of their love and esteam. The "wedding march" wag rendered 1 in an exquisite manner by Miss Almena Coleman, a little lass of twelve sura SHF With the only complete where every part of the macl any wonder that Victor Bicycl There's no bicycle like a X complete as the one devoted of this king of wheels.
