Kirhv, one of our town mar sluUs, and superintendent of tlio work on tho streets disappeared voterdav in < mysterious manner. It seems that he ?.u?. ..-III WUIU UIU W| btrnu aowuv iuv; v h colored man named Allen Robertson, to look for small trees, suitable for shad? trees to be set out on the side-walk* along our streets. Finding a tree at the brick yard near tlio Hock Falls, aijoul ft mile from the Court House, ho set the man to digging it up, remarking at tlie aatne time tiiat he would go further on and look for other trees. This was about three o'clock. He did not return and lie has not been seen since. When supper was ready at bis house, it was kept waiting?some one looked for him on the Square. Not finding him his family b camo Uneasy about his absence, and a few persons wont in search of him, going in the direction in which he was last neon by Allen Roberts ui. His tracks Were followed ft"ross a field and into a 1>ieco of wo(?dland beyond Xorris (Yee.?, >ut nothing further had been seen of him ut the hour of going to press. The M'amilliK party rviuriicii vi mvj ?in.?^v> at half pa*t one o'clock, to get additions to their mimlior. They rung several ot the bells, and a number came to the Square. About twenty or thirty went out immediately, and at this writing had not returned. Dwelling Burned. The Lyon homestead, occupied by Mr, John Lyon T. wax destroyed about three o'clock last Thursday' morning. The house was located some two miles or Inore from the village, and was a frame structure. Mr. Lyon was awakened about three o'clock by the crics of the ladies oT his household, and of a colored man who lived in the yard, who made l>>munif most useful in saviinr the house hold goods. The bedding and soino other articles xvero saved, but the most of the household and all of the kitchen fur^ niture were destroyed. Tho twelve hundred dollars of insurance iu the London and ^Liverpool and Globe Company, will make the loss easier to bear. Mrs. Lyon was not at borne at the litre? she beintr on a visit to her brother Colonel J. W. Livingston, at Seneca city. His Btep-dauchUr Miss Lilu Wardlaw and Miss Mary McCaw and Mr. Lyon were the only p'ersons 111 the house at the time of tho lire. The Weather. The weather is cold again. The latter part of last week it was considerably if horl lipon for a month. Sat urday night snme riin ami a little snow fell, after which there wasa freeze. Sunday morning the ground whs frozen hard, the day was'clear, and the sleety snow could be seen everywhere, and it was not until twelve o'clock that it began to thaw. Monday was clear, cold and windy. At twelve o'clock at night the sky was perfectly clear, and the wind was cold and piercing. Early next morning snow began to fall, and by ten o'clock everything was covered with a thin costing "of white. About this time the cloud* became lighter, and before night nearly the snow had disappeared. Machine Shop. Messrs. Seal, McIIwane Co., are putting up a machine shop on the lol where Enright's gin shop once stood. The hou*e is up and the old well has b> en cleaned out. Mr. Seal is off to Columbia to got the shafting with which to gear their machinery which will he run by steam power This firm has an immense lot of oak and ash timOer wnicn win ne innm-nau-i.y nawed Into parts of wagons. Their improved machinery will greatly increase their facilities for work, and in a little while these gentlemen will he enabled to \ tnakeall the wagons which will be needed in this county. The Due West Entertainment. The musical entertainment bv the the young ladies of the I>ne West Female College came off 1 list Friday night, and we sincerely recret our inability to be prenent. All who have spoken of it *peak in the highest praise of the performances, and say that they excelled any previous entertainment of the kind. The new addition to the college building nddt much to the convenience and comfort of l?oth spectators and participants. We shall make amends on some future occaaion for the present seeming dereliction. Old Cotton. Messrs. Cunningham <fc Templeton bought tlirce IhIm of cotton yesterday from Mr. J. 1?. Miller of this county. Two of them were raised seven years nfro, and the other, four years t?o. The price paid was ten rents. Mr. Miller conld nave Rotten a much higher price at one time than he sold it for. The interest on the cotton from the time it was made until the present time would have l>een more than he realized for the cotton, to sav nothing of a depreciated price and loss in weight. Brought Home 1o Host. The body of Dr. Tenm nt L. Calhoun arrived in "town hv the cars last Monday evening. Dr. Calhoun died in ShreveCort, La., several months aso, and was roujrht home to the family hnrying<?rnunrl in the Enisconal Cemetcrv at this piaoe.

ICdtlor Pre** and fianiicr : " The Medium has she risrht to criticise the Miction of suite and county otllclals ami reprej senlatives, hut he must not conceit that his criticisms ere infallible,nn<l his vanity should E I not lead him to presume that an effort t "> ex! nose the injustice of his editorials is (Quixotic ' in attempt or a venture in result. Such badl? ! to?ge does not warrant t tie evasion of I lie inj sue. The question is simple and plain. The 1 Medium ensures I he Governor for the appointj incut of incompetent Trial Justices; we ?le ' nied his responsibility, and imputed it to the j >r ; j citizens ot the vicinity from whence these of-1 ijlicersnre seated and to theso\eral county . | delegations. ; There arc nearly four hundred Trial Justices 1! in the State, selected from inmost every town, j ship. I'nder such circumstances the Govern-' I or can not se'e t from personal knnwlo-lge,! j and must do it through the recommend.<tion , or petitions of citizens. Tliese are reiereil to! the scvciul county Legislative delegations and ' the latter select the appointees. How e.se ' could t he Governor act ?

How can a smir man censure tiov- eti ernor Tlioinpson under such circumstance- I' It is a tax loose Inlity to tielieve that cmi the .V"'/.;i/?iconM call htm u "machine" and "iiej;* alive" official. tl The .Vi'rfium should have been one of the last to have done such I: Justice. He was fa- I'1 ,imdiar wit i the mod'? of appointment. For a' four Legislative years lie participated In selee itic liiese otllce's. Since then he fecojti. " , mend -d an appol'iiec?he sent his rocomtiicn- J" datioti to the 1 elevation and not the (iovernor. He says his editorial was not confined to I" county hi.t was applicable to State. So much 'u ttie wo:se for Ids position. So mtiCli more sc awkward his dilemma? It is probable that he is familiar with the Trial Justices of i liis J1' OiuntV. hut it Is not even prest.mab.e that he , is with ttiose of other counties. Hoes he "l I ku<>w a dozen of the four hundred ? Is he KO familiar with their capacity and fitness for 1,1 {office? Has he seen any of their hooks ul ' blurred, blotted.and scrawled over with II i legillie ClIiirnClCTS I I??? III' minn uuu nnj are not men of "sobriety?" To what purlieu"lar "Trial Justices lately put in otHce" in ,K j other counties does he allude? From Mich reckless, ruthless charges we Infer that the j Medium i? as uiiintormed and Ignorant of the l" ' character of t!ie*?* officers as tie is of the t?ov- {'" jernor's responsibility. In kindness to the "ll . Medium we supposed his remarks were In- 'l, ti-ndei for Abbeville, hut when tie applies ! tiictn to the state, tie leaps from the one u'ulp- CI' i I tig inoutii of t harytidis to the seven loathsome mouths of Se.vlia. It was ugly In the "V | Medium to have made -ucii unproven charges against our County otllfiats, but to make sucli 'a wholesale, ruthless denunciation against Jj" 11hos" of the Stite, Is (I hope not) an uupar- ' idonitblesin. j "P | The Medium misrepresents us In saying we n1.' assume the "championship of all the poor ot I Trial justices in tile State."

The first week In February I com inn- fi; nlcated with tlie Imjss (Smyth) iu order to as- jet | certain ihe price of cotton delivered off my it * wagon at ihe Factory. Ills response was as : w follows: "Weare paying to day (Gth Febru-|s<j aury) 10!-i for good cotton an<l 10% for mid-i it . dllng."
