Poisoning Cows. For several years various of our eit izens have in the spring season los valuable milch cows, poisoned by th leaves of the mock orauge that hav been trimmed from the gardens of th town. It is a well known fact ths these leaves are sure to kill the coi that eats them, and we think, when mm, knowing them to be poisonoui V0ts them in the way of his neigh bor's cattle, should be made to pay th damages, or a criminal action shoul be brought against him. Itecently w learn, that some families in town wh are poorly able to lose their mile cows, have been sufferers, by thi criminal act. If they would bring a aation for damages, perhaps it migh make some owners of such trees rtior flareful. if not more conscientious There is a law which severely punish ea the act of poisoning a neighbor' stock, and the law should be enforces aga'.r.st the careless owners of thes trees if they persist in annually kill iug the uiilch cows of their poor neigh bors. 3^ We think it stange that any one cai ?Jaim ignorance in this respect as th fatal result of the practice of throw ing out these leaves Is known to al and especially does this stateiuei: seem true when these parties seldot fail to put the poisonous leaves beyon the reach of their own cattle. W t link poor people should be protecle in the possession of their milch cowi No man has the right to poison a poc neighbor'a cow, and if he does so, h should be vigorously called to accouti and should be made to take the const tjucuci-8. , ! Homing of tho Porrin Mansion. % '! About half-past seven o'clock yes! terday morning the roof of the dwelling of Hon. T. C. Perrin, of this vil lat^e, was discovered to be on fire, and ~ I this ornament and pride of the vi 1j lage, Burroutided by the most superb n | garden of choice evergreens and trainit ed shrubberry to be found anywhere .-I in the State, was soon a mass of e J smouldering ruins. S| The erection of this massive struct(ri ure was commenced in lSo(5. at a time jwhen Mr. Perrin was immensely rich ?the expense then being of little consideration with him?and it was not until lSoS that it was ready for occupancy, after requiring more tnan t\Co years for its completion, and in the meantime giving employment to a large number of men, including some of the best artisans and mechanics that have ever been in the South. Daly, the architect, and Cownovcr, , the builder, with scores of the best Northern workman, came to Abbeville ' f>r the express purpose of putting up this building, and their skill produced a structure, the equal J of which, for architectural design, j beauty of finish ami elegant proportions,is perhaps not to be found any-i wherein the up-country. Above the finely finished basement of brick and i stone were two high stories of wood the top being surmounted bv an ornamental cupola or observatory. There j were seven large rooms on each of the three floors, divided by elegant halls and joined by portentous folding doors. Iu each of which rooms might have been found an abundance of expensive marble, as well as walnut and J inahogouy woods. The plastering was the most elaborate and of the finest cast, while the fres-j coing and stuccoing would have ,'1 ? ?? ??I lvil.ipp nf Jill I ilUUUIVU mw ivy*?? ... .... , Kastern prince. Each of the rooms ami hulls were lighted by magnificent; 1 gas chandaliers. A thorough system! of water works pervaded the whole house, and every other conceivable comfort or luxury which the modern improvements in mansion architecture had suggested up to that time was included. In the burning of this building we; have lost a structure, the like of which will never agaiu be erected in Abbeville. Mr. Perriu commenced to insure his house before it was finished and since then has paid the insurance premium regularly for twenty years, until last Wednesday at 12 o'clock, when he allowed the*insurance to expire. When the fire was first discovered it was clear to the minds of every one that nothing which could be done would 'save the building from the grasp of the consuming element, and the assembled citizens and neighbors at once went to work with a will to ' save the contents of the house, and [ we are glad to be able state that nearly everything was removed, though it is 1 i>u r^,r> ii,?t tnn?' nrtir-les were much injured by tlie hasty removal. It seems that the lire originated from a spark in the roof, the shingles being dry and gthe wind blowing a stiff breeze. The alarm was given by ilie neighbors, and it was a minute or two after the alarm before Mr. Perriu and the family became aware of the proximity of the angry tlamei to their own chambers. At the time of the fire Mr. L. W. I Perriu and family, and Dr. J. S. Thomson and family were living in the house with Mr. Perriu, and Mrs. Joel S. Perriu .and Miss Wadkius, of Richmond, Ya., were visiting the family. Mr. and Mrs. T. C. Perriu have gone back to their old homestead, now occupied by their son-in-law Col. J S. Cothran ; Dr. Thomson and .family are slopping with Mr. L. W. White; Mr. L. W. Perriu and family are with his uncle, Mr. lioliert 11. Wardlaw ; Mrs. Joel 8. Perriu and Miss Wadkins are the guests of Mr. \\\ Joel' kjualkl. J Hymkxeal.?'The marriage of Mr. i L. (J. Ligon and Miss Emma Wilson, was quite a pleasant affair to all who witnessed it, and came oil' at the residence Mrs. K. C. Perrin, in this vilisige, in the presence of invited quests, at 11 o'clock in the morning. Kev. 11. > C. Ligon, assisted by the ilev. J. L. Martin, performed the ceremony, and the two were united in the holy bonds of matrimony. After the usual congratulations and partaking of a lunch, the guests disappersed and the young couple, accoinpa- j nied by a few friends, took their leave for the home of Mrs. E. M. Ligon, the mother of the groom, where all ( were most agreeably entertained. The bride and groom have the best wishes of many friends for their prosperity in life and their future happiness j while journeying down the rugged j pathway. The bride is u sister of the editor whose best wishes and most earnest prayer is lor their welfare. Late, iu;t Right.?Although we have for years beeu fighting Life Insurance, no single newspaper in the State, as far as we know has joined in the warning, except IheGrcenvile^'cwft, > which paper has just published a well written opinion of these corporations. A published statement made a year or two ago, by one of the southern comfianies, which company, we believe las since "busted" asserted that South Carolina had lost eleven millions since the war on investments with Northern companies. The Xewu i should let the people of Greenville hear "the people's side," of tha^ question. j Hampton* or Chamberlain.? What Judge Mackey Says.?In his charge to the Grand Jury last week at Lancaster. Judge Mackey in speaking of tiie matter of paying tax< ? nniomr other thiiiirs. savs: "He who refuses to yay this tax on 1 the ground that Hampton is not Governor will not receive the protection of this Court against an execution to collect the Chamberlain tax, because he is estopped by bis conduct from denying the legality of Chamberlain's Government, and having made his choice he must-pay accordingly." Solicitor Itunker, of the third circuit, {committed suicide last Thursday lt | night iu Fine's saloon, Columbia, by glshootiug a bullet through his brain. ejHe was a brother in-law of ex-Conejgressman Hoge. Mr. liunkle had been in Columbia for eight years past, and had tilled the olllce of Solicitor of a the Third Circuit under Republican s rule. He was an impulsive, warmhearted young man, who, in spite of " his objectional political views and . wayward ways, had made many friends among the people whom he 0 had cast his lot. h The Marion Merchant and Farmer ? nnnoars in a new form. or. rallier, in u its original form and size, and has enitj tered its third volume.

The Supreme Court will file a decision in the case of Ostendorf vs. Willi-j man holding that the election for! county ollicers held on the 7th of No-1 vember last was valid.

MILLIONS OF SUFFERING MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN. No Knin in Madras and liombay for Twelve Months. Tlireo yours ago, it will l>o remomberiv.l, the liriti-sh Government in India was called upon to make vigorous and expensive ell'orts for the relict' of a vast population in JScugal, sulfering on account of the failure of crops. This year, even more extensive regions in other Provinces of that vast Kmpire are similarly atllicted, and already measures of relief are undertaken. Somewhat vague rumors of the real condition of things had reached Kngland, I'lit tho first full and authoritative information was recently given by the publication of a long dispatch to the Governor General of India by Lord Carnarvon, acting in the absence of Lord Salisbury. Hy this document it appears that as early as July last the crops began to fail on account of drought in some parts of Madras, no rain having fallen for twelve 4a..llA? uiDii i lis pre v luu-j, inn nu^ <i".y iciiu iiiutn sirit-i; iliou in large districts of Madras and Horn hay. Neither the southwest nor the northwest monsoons brought rain, and the result is, that throughout large and densely populated tracts scarcity has develope.l into famine already tornble, from which there cannot he any natural relief ! before April, when crops begin to ripen, and not full relief before next September. In llomhay the area of scarcity is about .*>4,0(10 square miles, a district as largo as Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, and containing a population of eightmillions, nearly equal to the population of the States of New York and .Pennsylvania. t In the Madras Presidency tlio region attbeted comprises about 80,000 square miles, that is larger than the States of [New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont and New Hampshire, and contains a. population of nearly eighteen millions. Altogether, the population thus < stricken is considerably more man onehalf tJiat of the whole United States, and, 1 with the subjects of native princes not yet brought under Jlritish rule, will doubtless i exceed three-fourths of the population of ' tlie nation. Not all of these will require relief, but the number who must in some 1 way be aided by the government to keep them from starvation will bo several millions. Great as would be the labor of providing subsistence for such a multitude under any circumstances, the dilliculty is much greater in India. In the first place, the people themselves have little energy to put in operation means of relieving themselves. In the presence of such a calam- 1 lty they yield and die almost without an elfort to avoid the peril. They have neither the stamina to endure nor the enterprise to overcome hardships. In good times , the earth yields so abundantly the simple n/./ioouili(iu fnr (lio tinslonnnf-n r?f lilip that tiiey Jiave JittJc need of exertion or forethought. When the evil day comes they arc unprovided for, and they submit to death as to a fate which it is impossible to . escape, and with which it is useless to quarrel. In the second place, the means of transportation are very inadequate. Within tiio past twenty years the British (Government has done much in the way ( of opening communication by means of < roads, canals and railways; but there are ] still large tracts, teeming with population, i to which the only way of access is by rough and nearly impassable bullock- j roads, over mountain passes or through ; dismal jungles. The provinces now in < want are much better .situated for relief J than was the wise with the province of J Oiiss.i in I860. No sutlicient supplies could be sent there by land or sea for the want of available harbors or roads. While 1 am+do supplies of food were stored at dis- I tances away which would be short if con- * necled by railway, only 175,000 hundred- ( weight of rice v,vre transported to the -j famine district, and more than three- i quarters of a million of tho inhabitants*^ perished under the eyes of the helpless * English officials. .Something more than a hundred years a^o the same region suffered a more terrible famine, and ten millions starved to death, and one-third < of Bengal lay waste and silent for twenty years. In these periods of famine the ? draft eat lie, which are tho sole dependence : for conveying food to remote districts, arc i early saeriticed. 1 Till! organization of administration in: ( the British India service is, fortunately, ( well ad.iptc 1 for su-:!i exigent-ies as the < present. Already vast preparations have ' been made l'or the work to he done. The government, too, appreciates the advantage of distributing i;s alms in the form of wages rather than its a gift. The occasion is seized for the prosecution of public works needing to be constructed, and for perfection of systems of storage of water and irrigation that will help to avert future calamities of the same kind. The Madr.is olticials bave made large purchases of grain, but this slep is not approved I by the Home Government, whic h prefers not to interfere with (he operations of trade except in the last extremity. A dispatch from Calcutta to the London Times, I under dale the 14th instant, says that 287,000 people in Bombay are now employed by tho government on relief works, artd in Madras tho number so employed is already over a million, and inauy are receiving charitable relief?probably those who cannot work. It U expected that the number employed will steadily increase until May, and then gradually decline until September. Tho wages paid seem seem insignificant, being only about four pence a day, yet the}' are probably sullicient to purchase rieo enough to keep life i ill the body. It is estimated tiiat tuo cost i to the government, from loss of revenue and from expenditure in 'lie -work of relief, will not full short of twenty-live million dollars, a drain on the Indian revenues which, corning so soon after the losses on account of the famine in Bengal, is the necessity of some more systematic and economical provisions for dealing j with such crises, which must be expected to happen with more or less frequency. At'-tim last reports from India, J^ord Lytton/the Governor General, dispatched Sir llichard Temple on a special mission to the distressed districts to make a personal inspection of their condition, and to confer with the local governments respecting the methods of and amount of assistance that will be needed. Ho will report to the Supreme Goverument, and upon his report, which is anxiously looked for, future action will bo based. Sir llichard Temple has superior qualifications for this task. He it was who organized and operated the plans for the relief of the Bengal famine in a manner which proved his possession of the highest order of administrative talent, and won the unreserved approbation of both the Indian and Home ! Governments. Lord Carnarvon has instructed the Governor General to send him frequent and regular reports of the ;< ,.c nfl'.iifu our! i? ia flint | llie English people will from this titne 011 j bo kept fully informed of the particulars I of sutferiug and relief. The May-Bennett Duel.?A statement which seems to be authoritative is current now in "society circles" as to the true proceedings in tho'MaV-Bennett duel. It is asserted that when the seconds asked the principals if they were ready, Mr. May twice replied that lie was not; that after the second asking the snap of a pistol was heard; that Mr. May's second thereupon advanced in front of Mr. Dennett and asked if it was his pistol which had been snapped; that Mr. Bennett exhibited his weapon in proof that such was not the case; that Mr. May then spoke up and i said his pistol had accidentally snapped; l.i-.-t (i.:? d,? -iTliiwliriwI tri i 11 ?lt (lllt'I him i;jv ot? v<n\?.> ..x.j?.v.0wv. ?

Though a stranger in a strange land, brother McNeill by his kind disposition and atlubic qualities, soon won for himself numerous friends. He was a christian, an agriculturalist a patron of husbandry and a good neighbor, therefore let us imitate his virtues, and whereas, it lias pleased the Omnipotent Master of the universe to remove from us, our highly esteemed friend, and worthy brother Campbell McNeill, his ; (Jrange has lost a patron, and the community an exemplary una useful citizen.
