At Vienna nearly a thousand persons were burned recently in a theatre. The' doors shut inward and there was no way ol escape except from the high windows. Our Court House doors open iu-i Ward, and in our opinion should be; changed. We all remember the frisrht which we had last .Summer by the explo-, sion of a lamp and the confusion and e x -1 citeuient which followed. In case of a I lire on an occasion like this there would be great danger that the doors would soon bo closed, and once closed, they could not bo opened with the crowd j pressiug on them.

The trains now leave Abbeville at 12.15 o'clock, and arrive at Abbeville at 4.-10 in j the evening. Dr. T. L.

The trade at tho village has been q uite | light, this Fall, when compared with thcj business of last Fall. Somo persons are! expecting hard limes next year, while j others hold a more hopeful \ iow.

Patriotic preachers should remember! the Legislature in their prayers, and seek tho Divine interposition to induce an itu- i mediate adjournment of that body.

A large per cent of our lands is sown in small grain, and the crops never looked as well as they do now.

[.-1 uyit.sta Chronicle.] One of our most intelligent and enterprising] business men points out this morning, in an article of.singular lucidity, tluit the interests) of Augusta are menaced by tiie plans ascribed | to the netviy organized South Carolina ICail- ; f way Company. There is no doubt, we think, | thai the South ?'arolina Railway Company, | ui:dcrits present luanagment, has entered in-1 to u career of unwonted activity and enterprise. There will lie no lack of capital and brains. The "Sleepy 1 lollow"< !' the anvicn rr-1 t/iinr is over. We must prepare for a policy 1 / oi' competition quite abreast of the nue.

In the ' case of thechlld in question, the dose appears ? I to have administered in exact accordance with t the printed directions on the bottle. A teaspoonful of the syrup contains one-eighth of I a grain of morphine?a very heavy dose fur a i child of eight months of age. That it was al- . together loo heavy Is evident from the fact that ihe'cliiid dit d, and. as the post mortem unmistakably showed, lrom the effect of opium. , ft is frightful to realize that this poisonous stutl is sold by wholesale witiiout restraint or supervision, and {'laced in the hands of care! less and ignorant people to he dosed out to babies. It is disseminated as a harmless and r philanthropic boon to humanity, whereas it is I inevitably vicious in its elicits, injuring the , i constitution where it does not kill outright. t I Any good physician will tell you that morphine should be administered to babies only I in rare and urgent eases, and then under the ! direction of a reasonable practloner.

The Terdict of the Court of Inquiry. ; Boston, December 17.?'The committee appointed to investigate the conduct of the S'inth Massachusetts Kegiment during the recent trip to York town find that the oflenses cited as simple intoxication, disobedience of order and unsoldieiy and unnentlemanly conduct are true against twenty members of tlie regiment, but that according to i he testimony i of the officers and soldiers, tlie more serious , charges of stealing cheap Jewelry, insulting white girlson the streets, striking horses and carriages and misbehaviorat the Llbby Prison have not been substantiated. Orders have been issued by the Commander-in-Chief of the Militia for tbe summary dismissal of the offenders and the regiment has been directed not to leave Its armory io uniform until the Spring parade. witli money. To oil's*-' siny ll.inkins; movements by way 1 h o'' theSavannah Valley or Kicnch i>roa<% we mu>t help President Verd- ry and the Augusta s] and Knoxville ltailway Company to nfake ii such extensions or purchases as will counter- c< ii'ji tiie contemplated strategy of tlio South ! tl Carolina Railway. We cannot too .strenuously advise our eapl-1 o talistsand business men to hearken unto one ei of their number, who points out thesoureelp and nature of tiie danger, und indicates a willingness to eontribiHe his proportion of tiie I means accessary to avert the impending ca-i last raphe. What our correspondent says of the supe-| rior management of President Verdery we heartily endorse, Rut even. God's piophet " could not win victorious over the enemies of iiis people, except when his arms uplifted in I supplication were sustained by outside aid. | Of hiimelf, President Verdery cannot accom- plisli wnat the neeessity of the ease demands; but he can readily do so if the strong arms and purses of our people, who are most concerned in the matter, aie freely protl'ered for the common good. The stun asked is not I much; but its appropriation Is <?f immediate; urgency. It should in* promptly tendered, the i more >o as every hundred dollars will bring I'1 back tens of thousands. 'c Our correspondent does well also to remind our people that they cannot thrive by manu- t< factures alone, any more than man can be sustained by bread alone. At the bottom of all wealth, after all, is agriculture, it Is the most important factor in commerce. It makes factories and alt other material progress possible. Toextend. encourage and tester the products of the soil about us, and to command their market value, Is of the first and last Impor-j ~ tance. We cannot ail'ord to surrender the ag-j r ricnltural domain that properly belongs to us, I and, with our capital, we would he foolish he- v youd expression if wedid so, when theoutlay of a few thousands of dollars can maintain our dominion. We take tor gianted, therefore, that the danger p dn'.ed out will be pre- i vented, and that the means required will be forthcoming. I I, Deadly Soolhiugr Syrup. r J\>ic Orleans Timns-Dcmocrat.
