Columbia special in the News and Courier : Nathan MeClearly, colored, should be either trieo * . ior attempted criminal assault, or pul in llie A-ylum for lunatics He has again got himself in jail by confessing voluu'arily a crime which the victim says he did not commit. It will be recalled thatNafhan was suspected of the attempted assault on Miss Pitman, in Marion County, in March, and was brought here to t he penitentiary for sale keeping, after an alleged mob had looked for him throughout Marion County. He confessed to the crime, but the young lady came here and looked at the negro at the penitentiary and said postively that he was not the man who had frightened her. Nathan w:.s he'd here for some time, but as the Governor was officially informed that no indictment had ever been handed out against him the Governor ordered Superintendent m- Grillilh of the penitentiary to release him. A few days later he got himself in the Columbia Police court on charge ol vagrancy, and was told to leave town. Now lie has gone back to his old haunts and the Governor has received a letter from Sheriff Evans, of Marion, saying that She rill Burch, of Florence, has turned him over to him, without anv warrant or commit ni eut papers, the same Nathan McClearly for the attempted assault on Miss Pitt man, which tie again says he committed.

Ashevdle special in Tne State: i Sit'iug in hi? arm chair, with a ! bottle of carbolic acid partially i emptied by his side, Willam ?J. . Cleveland, an ancient hermw, aged 82 years, was f nod dead i by the side ot his faithful old ne i negro servant yesterday morn i ing, at Ins home near Swannanoa . a1 a ion. A coroner's jury which i investigated the death returned a verdict of suicide. The remains were brought to Ashevdle and are being held at a local undertaking establishment awaiting inalructions from re'a:iv?s ol t he dead man, in Salem N. Y. The death of Mr. Cleveland removes a peculiar and picturesque figure. For the pa-l 20 years ho had made his home at Svvannanoa, living in a little tourroomed house all alone, attended by a faithful o'd negro, who looked after the place, met all visitors and transacted all business. The old gentleman living the lite of a recluse, rarely left the house aud refused to see any callers. A1 though he lived in a m<>9i miserly fashion, denying himself at times even the necessaries of life, Mr. Cleveland is understood to have been a rjoh man, his wealth heing estimated at from $30, 000 to $50,000. The coroner, who made an examination of the hou.?e after Mr. Cleveland's I death, discovered ?<?vcki-ui n.,.. dred dollars hidden away in various and peculiar places, and let ters now in the coroner's possession seem to indicate tha' more t.hnn a thousand dollars is still hidden away. Besides the cash valuable papers were found which indicates that the old hermit was the possessor of considerable pro perty and has left quite a large estate. v u Smallest Check on Record.
