There were numerous rumors on the fc streets concerning the matter, and as we! failed to see the Treasurer, we give some >: of them: I 1st. That the Treasurer claims that lie1 r- has done bis duty by depositing the! money "in bank,"ami that he has com-! ? plied with the law. It is said that the: Treasurer claims that the Greenville National Rank was as liable to fail as ? Solomon's Bank. We also loarn from the Chairman of ^ the County Commissioners that the | : "* Treasurer was advised by the Board to; t keep all eouuty funds here, particularly! the fund raised to purchase and pay in-j $ tereat on Air Jjine Railroad bonds, as there was no telling when it would be t" wanted.

The Charlotte Observer some days ago; gave notice that there were a- number of I .? silvercoins at the mint, three pieces tothe dollar; ami our friend Mr. A.. M. Hill who has-always had a penchant i | for tho accumulation and possession of | antiquated aud uncommon specimens of I gold aud silver coin, upon seeing the notice in the- Observer immediately sent F to the mint for a supply of these coins, and now has them on exhibition at his \ I ' store where the curioue may see them. We would like to have half bushel of; thes2 beautiful coins for our own use.] K- : The "change," it seems to us, would be I [quite con ven usiu, 11 put iu gcut-im v.n-j dilation. It would be s<? convenient fur ' delinquent subscribers to send up six of; these little coins to settle their little bills j at the Press and Banner office. Mr. i Hill would sell a few of these coins fori greenbacks at a slight advance on the' par value. Call early. Lack in Matrimonial Leisure. Our young friend, Mr. George "White,' deserves to be congratulated a? well fori the rare judgment which he has exhibit-] ed iu waiting for his turn in the matri-j ! A liionial lottery, as well as for the goodj fortune which lias crowned his wishes; at last". There is not always "luck in j leisure" however, and we would not advise all of our young friends to follow his example. They may wait the last turn of the wheel, and draw a blank in the end Uur lriend nas. Dcen more sortunate, and has drawn a glittering prize. He deserves it, and we, the Junior, do not envy his good fortune. Wb would only like to imitate his example. We extend our best wishes to the\ happy pair, and trust that their pourd^inlife will be as blissful as its ?eginn?ing has been auspicious. Tfce Singing on Suiida^^t5iidi)s; ' ItLast Sunday we had tUV pfenre of attending tlie afternoon si? iging by the young people and thc1qU1J^ren''of the Methodist church at -place, aud enjoyed the exercises m'deh. "When-we first went in there wire a goodly num-v ber o? Irandsome young ladies present, aud among the nuriiber we were pleased to observe some attractive and fascinat-1 ing young, ladies of the Presbyterian j congregation, who, like ourselves, were' spectators, aud had. come to enjoy the ^ sweet music. Owing' toour., innate j modesty and a fear of our inability to; {ill the nlaee creditably to oursolves.we. declined to accept thereat in the choir j so politely offered us.' ' After our erriyal' and before the commencement1 of the! .singing, as we were jn the presence of the divinities, we-confoss to haying in- j dtdged a little in that jkin'd of devotion which is usually not preceded or accom-j pan led by music. Mr. McDonald, the leader of the singing;.on liis arrival, po-j SMtcly distributed among those present aj sutlicient number of music books to give! all an opportunity of joining in the! singing. We accepted the kindly offer-j ed book, and when the first piece was j commenced, we assisted to tiie best or*I our ability until we observed the little: boys for ihe space of ten feet around, easting smiling oyes towards us, and fearing an outburst of laughter on their part, we desisted from further participation in the music. Boys will be boys, you know, and when they see or lio.MP smvf.liinir (lint tickles their ri'-ilbles. thcv arc obliged to laugh. Wo arc passionately fond of "a concord of' awcet sounds," but unfortunately wo possess very little talent for producing those harmonious notes which vibrate throughout the innermost recesses of the heart and "lift the soulj to worlds on high." We think it eminently proper that the young people. should meet together at their church in! ? the Sunday afternoon to sing praises to Him who loved' and blessed little children. From infancy we are taught to have a holy regard for the church and; .n-f mi/1 fliinl- tlwii'n i< ?i 11^ UUid'iaj 4i?4V4 ^ UllUiX V.JViu ..., ..,,j bettor way of spendingau evening tJianJ in the house dedicated to Ilini whoi made us, singing praises to the Lamb, that was slain for our transgressions.) These hymns or songs are prayers breathed through the soul, and tend to keep pure the heart of the participant, while it at the same time reflects a halo of sweetness and purity around the spirit of the auditor, by which he draws asacrcdnessfrom the fount that is none the less pure from the fact of its having! dispensed the draught. We were re- j minded on this occasion of that sublime incident when "the morning stars sang! together and all the sons of Clod shouted for joy."

After all cyif Co^ty^'tlrdablfis, Abbeville is all rlgirt again,' Oar -financial troubles in this county- commenced among the earliest in the State, from the robbery of our Treasury and other causes..

The credit of the county, wtis destroyed and services and' labor and provisions lor the Poor could not be purchased at all except*^ ruinous and exorbitant prieesi j All this jh^a-dieen changed? The County Commissioners report the most g rati tying' facts? > - ' i .' First.?That all'the preferred claims of the deficiedcv of Jast year, 1S74, "for the support and maintenance of th? poor, for dieting prisoners and judicial expenses," have been paid out of tbeS4,00l> set apart for that purpose, leaving a small balance to go to other "past ix* debtedness." <?% Sccotul.?That' the'County ComjKIs-: sioncrs arc making an effort and tiiftjkthey will succeed in bringing the current expenses of this fiscal year within the ordinary levy of "three millsIU so as to leave no deficiency at all for' "this year. Third.?The County Commissioners further report that the Legislature has authorized," by joint resolution ratified March 11, 1S75, a special levy- of "three mills" to be devoted to the past indebtedness of the County. That includes 1 1 f ; n , 1/iKlin/l n oou tlu?f aT HiA VU? ? till j/UOL liuiwauugoo mctu \J L w. * ^ JV.IVI 1874 as well as that portion unpaid prior to that time.

If so, on thvfirst day of Juuuary next, 187(J, the County of Abbeville for the first time in years, will be clear of debt, and in-a-oondition to pre-vent frailds and impositions and- procure labor and services for the lowest civsh price.'' .So mote it be! Mr. Kolicrt Jones, Chairman, and his Board of Commissioners, deserve the highest praise. It is difficult to estimate the value of his services to the tax payers of the County, considering the contusion and complexity into which the County finances had fallen. An honest inau in an humble sphere may roiuler as much service as in high and dignified ollice? A Wedding Party. Que of the most pleasant entertainments of the season was given at the resideneyof Mr. and Mrs. John- White, on Thursday evening last in honor of the marriage of their son Mr. (jeorge White and Miss Sal lie Perrin. A large company was present on the occasion, and enjoyed themselves to their Hearts' content. The family have the rare art of entertaining, ana the young and the gay of both sexes needed no incentives i to give zest and enjoyment. We havej no doubt that they all drew fresh iuspi- j ration from the recent happy nuptials, | and laid many well digested schemes for securing a like blissful termination. The matrimonial fever is always contagious, and when it encounters so many ; (it subjects, we may expect it to strike; deep.
