Lust Saturday afternoon while the engineer on the branch road, Mr. Syfan, was shifting the freight cars on I. M.1,1... I lie SWUUII ni nun |II?VX, .uii-n i gwuu Hampton Martin, sou of Mr. li. A. Martin, of this village, attempted to cross the track in front of a train which was being hacked, when he stumbled, falling with his head across the track- The train was so near him lie had not time to get away, and the wheels of the ears passed over his neck, nearly severing the ^jead from the body, killing him instantly. This is indeod a sad affliction to the parents who idolized him, and was an accident which shocked the whole community. John was a bright little bo>\ in the eleventh year of his uge, and wa? the favorite of his associates. He was a member of the Meihodist Sunday school and was held in high esteem by his teach- j er. The community deeply sympa-j thize with the bereaved parents in; I./.!. o,\ t?n ufTliittinlft lurii auiCiiiuiviivi., >>o blame could be attached to Mr. I Ky fan for this accident, as lie is known to he one of the must careful engineers on the road. Yagrauls oa the Jury. We think the names'of vagrsnts; should he kept out of the jury box. j It is an offence to our civilization for a, Trial Justice or a Jury Commissioner! to select such men, who are generally' candidate* for otliee, to decide casesj betweeu the State and criminals and J such a course should not lie tolerated.) The otHcer offending in this particular should be reported to headquarters, accompanied by a prayer for his removal. Whenever a vagrant wants! to get into office, he has gained aj strong point and an influence in hisi favor which has been felt aud ac-i knowledged, if he has won the sym-j j?athy aud kindly regards of petty j thieves. All candidates for otliee j might be very well excused from serving 011 juries. Consolidated. The Augusta dailies have been : merged into one, aud now appear ast the ;Chroniclc and Cunnlitutionalist. j The Augusta papers nave always ueeu j edited with marked ability, and now under the new urraiigmeut, as the editors of boili papers are continued,) we may expect e\c*n an improvement j in the former high standard of jour-1 nalism which characterized our Geor- | gia ueiglibors. We wish all concern-1 ed a large prosperity while we con-j gratulate the reading and advertising] public of Augusta ou their enhanced : advantages under the uew plan. The .Mormons. We give iu another column quite an interesting account of the Mountain Meadow Massacre, and the execution of Johu D. Lee. Head it. liiiLicaous Scttvicta.?During This' week there will be divine service at Trinity church every day.

And on Sa unlay at t>J a. in., afterj which the ladies will, with the a^ist-J ance of ttie gentlemen friends, dccu-; rate the church for Easier. As this week commemorates the .sufferings and passion of the riavior, ' the rector invites all persons who are so disposed, to attend the services and meditate upon the Passion. Ot'H ueighbor at Pickens gets to^ liw preaching only once a mouth,! and tne editor of the Stutinvl hungers ! and thirsts after more righteousness?.

IThk JSew York Herald pays: It isi believed here if Chamberlaiu should j prove obstinate, not only will the troops be withdrawn and (iov. Hampton told to go ahead and take posses-1 sion by legal process, but the l'resi-j dent will take care to put Mr. Chamberlain so clearly in the wrong before; the country that he will get no syin-j pathy from any quarter. This is the plain tauth of the matter. Abbeville Compliments Dk.| Gkiek.? Notwithstanding the im-i clement day, quite a number of ladies' and gentlemen of the village attended j Upper Long Cane church last Hun-; day to hear him preach.

This action on the part 1' the commander-in-chief of the United States forces would not only be hailed bv mr people as an evidence thaUeivil auhority is no longer to be subordinated to he militrrv power in our country, but it vould establish law, insure domestic rampiiiitv, revive our wasted industries, ,nd give an assurance that this State is to ?o restored u? her just rights under tie.' ^institution.

The odd man w4io made the vote laud four to three to-day, in favor of vithdrawing the troops at once from lie support of Chamberlain was riioinpsou, of the Navy .Department, jut it is understood that Devens also jad a strong leaning to the Hampton side, which was unequivocally espoused by Evarts, fcjchurz and Key. The Cabinet came to the definite eoneludon to withdraw the troops at once, jut even after this conclusion was reached, so radical were the views of Sherman and McCrary that it. was thought best, in deference to them, to make an effort at compromise, and for 'his reason they decided finally that the rival governors, Hampton and I'hamheiiain, should themselves be summoned to Washington and before Lhe C'abiuet.?Philadelphia Times. The Fence I,aw. In Meeklinburg county, X. C., the now fence law is working wonders. It was ilivt to !I <in?rli> tnWlKliil) filii'l now, the whole county is fenced around. It is impossible to estimate the advantages of this system. TIhj lands will he [ nhanced one hundred per cent., and hundreds of vexatious lawsuits avoided when every farmer must keep his stock an his own land. In South Carolina tins system will work well in the middle rotintry?that is, in all the country between the barren pine lands and the fool i>f the mountains. We hope the law will bo enacted by the Legislature of South Carolina, giving any township or eonntv in the State the privilege of adopting the system for the township or county b\ popular J vote. We understand the people of Anderson are anxious to test the question again by vote. Abbeville, Laurens, Newberry, Union, and the lowei townships of Greenville would save millions by the system.?Crccnville News. A New Metal.--Wc have just seen s specimen of anew metal which is composed of brassand mica. All attempts heretofore to melt mica had proved unsuccessful, till a few months ago Mr. Raymond, of (Jreonville, S. discovered the secret. lie has taken out a patent, and n foundry has been established at St. Louis for manufacturing the metal by a company, who have bought the patent from Mr. Raymond. One peculiarity of tlx metal, which will be its most valuabh characteristic, is its resistance to heat heiair not onlv infusible, but also anon conductor. This property will make i specially suitablo for sales.

The _ tower of Babel was nothing to it. Our! j reputation as editor is slipping away, j J with the ideas which go glimmering "ev-:d cry day, every hour."

All this is down stairs, Uiat is, it is ;1 made there, but it rises up to our sanctum, making our flesh to crawl, anil hair stand on end like quills on the fretlul por-1 cupine. Oil the other side, up stairs, is > heard the dulcet tones of women's voices ' f going into exstacics over a love of a bonnet, with such expressions as "Oh, my," I "Uli, dear/' "Uless my heart," How 3 j much did you say?" "Ten dollars!" * "What a guy;" this is varied by whisj tling a bar ol'the "Mulligan Guards" or 1 I "I would not live alwav." This comes I from the ladies, and at any other time or f j at any other place would have a soothing | | effect on our muse, but when mixed with |' [ the sounds from the regions below, it ex-! e j cites oilier emotions, and we feel a cold streak running down the small of our I back. Is it any wonder then that our .1 thoughts take flight? Now, we ask our j ' friends if we are not objects of sympathy ' t j?were ever'poor editors thus beset be| fore ? Car we be expected to write intelI tigently under these circumstances?
