Enlargement of the Publi
Square.?A matter which ha3 bee
mooted since our late fire, and whic
would seem to commend itself to th
best judgment of our people, is the pr<
priety of enlarging the Public Squan
by taking in a large section of the Burr
District?that above and adjacent to tli
Court House. The advantages of sue
a step are manifest?first and principal!
it would decrease largely the risks froi
fire to the Court House and its record
and second it would add much to tl
commodiousness and beauty of the pul
lie Square. The first consideration at
; dresses itself to the people of our coui
ty especially, and the second equally 1
town aud country. Now, before tt
work of renovation and improvemei
begins, is the time to move in the ma
ter. The work rc9ts with the Count
Commissioners, but in a matter whic
involves a liberal expenditure the
would perhaps desire some expressio
of public opinion.- Let tbeui call a pul
lie meeting if necessary, and if advisi
ble submit the question to the popult
vote. The enlargement of * the Publ
Square would give an enhanced value I
the property adjoining that whic
would be appropriated, and we migl
' hence hope to purchase the property i
question for a reasonable compensatioi
Sale Day.-?There was a very larg
attendance of our fellow-citizens o
Monday last, and our Public Square pr<
sented a very busy, bustling appearand
The only public sales, were by tli
Sheriff, of lands of the estate of J. "\\
Blaine, sold under order of the Court <
Probate?tract of 240 acres, to Fishef i
Ellis for $1,003.00?and tract of 320 acn
to W. P. & M. B. McGoc for $-100.00.
Also of the following personal prope
ty of Robert Palmer & Henry Hutch
ison, sold under agricultural lienblind
mule for $32.50, and cow and hei
er for $15.00.
Messrs. Kaphan & Sklarz disposed i
public outcry of a portion of their stoc
saved from the late fire, at fair prices.
In spite of the loss of so many of tl
groceries, there seemed to be no lack <

- A KIND WORD FOR ABBEVILLE.
i
Our friend, Mr. Thos. B.. Crews, <
l* the Laurenaville Herald, in his editorii
s of the 24th ultimo, thus speaks a kin
li | word for Abbeville, and the sufferers b
n the late fire. AVe all appreciate his r<
e marks, which renew and bring afresh 1
the memory pleasant recollections <
the associations and friendships <
former years. When here his cordi
h manners and warm heart had won f<
r- him many friends, whose best wishes a

Lunatic Asylum?Letter or D
ExPOK.?Dr. Ensor, the official Superi
cc tcudent of the State Lunatic Asylur
n publishes a letter in the Columbia Unio
h in which heurgesthe neccsity of makii
te the annual appropriation of 5!50,000 f
> the support of that institution. At th
r? sum the cost of maintenance is mu<
it less than of similar institutions of t!
ie country. With 300] patients at an a
h nual cost of $212 each, which is the ec
y of maintenance fixed by the State, tl
n total cost of the institution would
s, $03,000, but elsewher^ the cost of eai
ie patient rises from $20 to $30 per mont
> which, at the lowest figures, would sw<
1- the total cost to $72,000. He says:
i- "From the last report of the Superi
10 tender.t of the Indiana hospital iorti
insane, I fiud the following statemen
IC From a carefully compiled table now t
it fore me, embracing twenty-one prom
t- nent State institutions, Hospitals ai
Asylums for the insane in the Unit
r States, I find that the average cost p
1 capita for the maintenance of the insai
y exclusive of clothing and salaries, is tt
n hundred n.n<l twenty-two dollars ai
j. forty-eight cents per annum."
He hence concludes that the approprj
ir tiou asked, of $50,000, is a very uiodera
ic one*
