A report was circulated that an attempt had been made to poison a lady of that town. The local paper was, as Usual, requested to say nothing ab iut It. As usual, u I so, th-? allalr got published in a daily paper of another town. Then again, a? usual,1 the local paper was fully authorized to correct! the daily paper's errors. We happen to have some experience in suppress! nu new*. Several ycirs ago, when the eyes of the country were turned to Columbia,! a gentleman of this village returned from that city bringing interesting news, but hound us not to publish It. Our paper wi-nt ; to press and whcri it had been printed, our, daily exchanges gave the mutter in lull. Re-| cently, an embariro was iatil on m against publishing news about the railroad from AbLevi lie to Verdcry. That same week our competitor, and the tireenwood paper came out with the identical facts which we had been re'iuestod to mipprrss. And now we are in 1 possession of a local item of k personal and also of a pnb'ie interest, hut we must wait for homebody else to publish it?and then we don't care if we never do publish it. Aflllctnl Household. Mr. J. \V. Uykard, of this town, is tlir? father | of lour children, three of whom have hud misfortunes to hefnll them. iAst summer his daughter Sillie, aged five! yours.

Last Christmas James, ajreJ about twelve' years, was shot in the calf ! ins leg by a ro man candle, and has not been able to walk since. Ijist F'riday night his youngest son, aged three years, walked 011 live coals of lire, and burnt his bare feet ?i Imdly that fie was thrown into spasms, and has since then been : >i creat sutlcrer. He has another con and we are in dally expectation of hearing that tiie kitchen chimney had fallen on him. Mr. Ry kard's distress beats the Ch<irlottc Observer's sloiy as to Mr. .1. M. Wilson's two children who were recently badly hurt. Looking Tor liiimiuranls. Colonel James Edward Calhoun of this, county Is the owner of ten thousand to fifteen 1 thousand acres of land in one body lying in < tills county, andaisoownsabout one hundred thousand "acres of mountain land In what; was old Pickens county. Being convinced of! the value of these lands, and believing that if ho had a good class ol settlers to whom lie could sell small farms that his own interest mid the public welfare would be advanced iiiereoy, lie w now id.ikih^ enoris which, ii is thought, will result in the settlement on Ills lands of large colonies of English people, If this far-sighted policy of Colonel C.dhoun ' should succced he will boa public benefactor mid he will himself become a millionaire., W'c wish Colonel Calhoun the greatest success i In the enterprise. The Colonel's action is in striking contrast with the narrow views of those who would run the labor of the country from our bur-i ders, and thus throw our bc.st farming lauds out of use.

Purine the whole of Friday night and Sat' urdsiy morning the wind blew furiously, and many of our cltizons were alarmed. One young man got lip out of bed, dressed, and sat down and waited for the house to blow down until he was overcome by sleep, when he went to bed with a part of his clothing still on. The rain, at early night-fall, fell in Parents, but thecontinued wind gave the ground the appearance of being almost dry next morning. The weather on Saturday morning was disagreeably eo!d In the wind, but by right, the thermometer was below tho freezing point wl'h the air on a dead level. We have heard of no serious damage, except in the matter of scare to our people, who were fearfully looking to see their houses turned over. We would advise all our renders who think of making a vegetable or llower garden this spring, to send to I). M. Ferry & Co., Detroit, Mich.,and get their valuable and beautiful seed annual. This house is entirely reliable, and if j ou wish to get exactly what you order, yon canuot do belter than intrust jour orders them. I Too Much Xa 111 p.

At. the trial counsel pr.iposi u 10 iis,v i^n.nens, while on the stand as a witness, the following quc-tions; "What property tiki you own on ilay of (ictotior. ls's??" which, neon objection ho in.; In (or] o^etl liy the counsel lor ]>taintiir, '-tlie pie-idinu .1 tul-o staled tint lie would have iTelerreU to meet Hit question on a demurrer to I he answer, but thought he otltflll to toe t It ill tile shape lid found It; that h--thought the answer If inside out tiv : (to testimony w.is no valid ttefence In 111.? plainiill' 's case, and that lie would treat the matter in the same way he would have d-uie if there hsid hern a demurrer to' the answer, for want ol facts snltieienl to prove a etc. fence. The point to which the question wan ill reeled, and It was so construed in paragraph VII of the answer, which transact lone it was claimed constituted such tin as-ianinent as was contrary to the provisions ol Oiapur LXXU. Seetion L'.OI , of the General Statut' N of this State, and therefore void."' The Circuit Judjje ruled that the said qnrstlon was Incompetent stud irrelevant under the pleadings, and refused to allow or require the witness to'answer the question. Alter this ruling the defendants, of course. offered no lurther testimony and the plaintiff had a verdict. The sole question, therefore, raised hy thisarpo.il lis us to the correctness of this ruling. Treating the question ns If It arose upon a demurrer to the answer, that being the way In which it was considered hy the Circuit J lid1.":.and should be hy us. a'l of the material allegations oft he answer must he taken to he true. It is there aliened that at the time o! the transaetlon^uhvi xveen ti e plaint ill' and Kitchens the Itfrtev wa? Insolvent and the former had irooil reason toknow that tact, and made in pursuance ol an original design ami intent ol'the said Addison F. Kit eh 'lis nr.d John W. Willis, determined on them in the beginning. to transfer and assign ail the propoily of Addison ! '. Kitchens, subject to execution for debt, to.lohn W. Wiiks, for the benetit of the said John W. Wilksand the estate ol i.',.i,...-l i>,ii(..i'soo to the exclusion ol all the other creditorsof the said AddlK.m F. Klteh ens. Assuming these allegations to be true, tliev amount to an admission tiiut Kitchen* ami Wi'ks Intended t'? eflect the precise object whieii l* declared l<> be Illegal and absolutely null and void by Section 2,'111 of tin General statutes, which reads as follows: "Any assignment by an insolvent debtor ol hisor her property, for the benefit of his 01 her creditors, in which any question of priority Is si veil to any creditor or creditors of the srid debtor by the terms of the said assignment over any oilier creditor or creditors, other than as debts due to the public, or in which any provision or disposition of Uu property so a-signed Is made or directed, other than that th- same be distributed among creditors of the said insolvent debtor equally, in proportion to the amount of their several demands, and without preference or priority of any kind whatsoever, save only as to debtdue to the public, and s-tve only r<s to stirli creditors as may accept the tertnsof such assignment and exeeule a telcAsu of their claim against the debtor, and except as hereafter provided, such assignment shall bo absolutely null and void, ami ol no eftect whatsoever." 1 ne manifest object of the Act Is to prevent an insolvent debtor from trauslerring or assigning liK property for the beneilt of one or more of his creditors to th? exclusion of all others; ami whether this object is sought t<i be eilecU d by ?. /jrimtl deed of the assign nicnt, or in any other mode, can make no difference. Any other view, it seems to us, would sacrilllce sub-tatiee to inert form, and enable insolvent debtors, by evasion, to efleet a purpose declared by statute to be unlawful, The Statute is a remedial one, and should be so construed as to suppress the mlsehiel which it was manifestly designed to prevent. It being conceded, as we have seen, that the object of Kitchens and Wilks was, by the means of the papers above referred to, dfiormi Dad on in the outset, to dJ'ect an a^sl^ntnent of the property of A.

When these Instruments are examine! separately. the first in a n;oriuii';e in foi io. and.lii ail ofiis features, Ijand was intended t > secure Ihe pnymcnl of a i. smale debt to a single creditor; the second is .and ordinary conveyance of real estate upon the consideration that the purchaser would pay a delii of I lie grantor to a third p.irty. j null the third is a hill ot sale of a portion of !l I he property embraced In the mortgage. in ' payment of the debt intended to be thins 1 secured. ; When taken together, they amount to a ' sale and convevaneehy Kitchens to the plaintill*of the property therein described, upon a '! fair and Just valuation, there being no alle1; ira!Ion that the property was taken by the ' I plaintilt at an undervalue. In an assign moat 1: for the betictil oi creditors it Is usual to name tl.o creditors specifically and Individually. r or at least to provide for them as a class, a:iu , generally nn?i assignee is nominated and appointed, who upon accepting tiie appoint| ment iiecomesa trustee, holding foi (he creditors who are cestui que trnxt*, and u ho arc 1 i Invested witn rights itudcr and by vlrtua of ' ; ml- dll,?.

Now, there is iu>t an exnres, sion in either of the j?:t|?ers, when eoiisiile.ird 'i single or together, which true, is l<> place the I properly beyond the rcaeh of all other creditors. Such a trah.-aetion may or may not lie fraudulent at common law and under the Statutes of Kli/.Mbelli, dependent upon the fact of its bmi'ifi'lfie, hut, it cannot be assailed I.! under Chapter 72 of the General Statutes, as " the main feature which that Act. requires lo . lie present in order to be applicable is absent, ' i C.an assignment for the benefit of credi' tors. i The appellants Ifi their argument seem to ! fftel the fore.e of this position when th?y urj;a 1 j that the transaction It not against the letter iof the Anl, 1? ceriaitsly acftinst Its spirit, in! sinting that it Isa patent evasion of the manl. fest purpose of I he Act. H This may or not be true, but yet tne Act Is '[specific in its terms, and describes in well j under-tood and in precise language the class i! to which its sections are Intended to apply, I and this Court cannot enlarge its provisions ! by embracing other cli's-es under the Hunt of what may be termed tiie spirit, of the Act. ! This would be Judicial legislation instead ol Judicial construction. 'J'lie latter power we ' J possess, but not the former. 'j It was urged by appellants, as a second pojsltlon, "that the transactions were void II under the provisions of 13th and 27th Elizabeth." This question was not raised in the | pleadings, nor was it made before the Circuit ' Judge, or ruled upon by him. It can not, !! therefore, be considered here. Whether the '! dealings between Kitchen* and the piaintfl : t were fratvlulent at common Imv or under the i [.Statutes of Klizabelh, which In substance I were but legislative declarations of the com* ' j mon law, depend upon altogether different '! facts and circumstance* from those which | would render them Invalid under chapter 11 of the General Statutes. The appellants In ! this case have s?cn proper In their pleadings ' to rest, their defence on (lie provisions of (lie ; latter Act, and they must stand or fall upon tne case as made. With these views I nin unable to concur with the majority of the Court, aud this is 'j tiled as a dls-cntlnu opinion. I-'lleU January 6, IS.V>. Tli? Itnilroiiil Situation.

He Will remain here some ten days. Tho handsome person and familiar fane of Mr. 11. P. Make has received the greetings of I Mm Westers for the Inst two week. Mr. J. E. Todd is a handy person. He lias rendered valuable servieo at?ont the new church. Has spared neither labor nor money lo make it a success. We heard a minister say that the new church, especially the Inside, was "a tiling of beauty and a joy forever." The eliurch cost i about * 0. Mr. John Wren, the contractor received a handsome compliment at the Irn.ds of the con/regal ion last Sa!urda.v when ! tlicy unanimously thanked him for the execution church Job. There arc two Insurance agents in town on business with Mr. .1. H. T<idd. They are here to pay on the policy taken out on life of Mrs. J. K. Todd, deceased.

The scsdon ha<^ ilccided nottowor-j ; ship in tho new church until this amount < was ao'Jusied. l'y motion it was resolved; that we notv proceed to raise this amount. I Iir.

I l>y cash or noles bearing ten per cent, lntere-t, and an on'.huslasilc member i wants to It no w "if you want to raise anything ; elm*." We here suggest, that If any church | has n deht and wants It ral-ed I t them send for I?r. \V.;M. ttrier,and If he don't get It. up ; then we simply say that they are hard cases. ; Having adjusted the deht, all Interest now 1 centered In I he selection of pews. The greatest : Interest was manifested from first to hist, and you would lrci|iiently hear the expression, i "There! my pew is gone." However, all per1 sons iceiii pretty well satisfied and the whole i day's proceedings passed otr most Baiisfaetoirlly. Our streets were literally deserted all day long, Interest continuing in ihe proceedings at the church. Everybody was happy Saturday night over the result of the day's : work. The debt had heen lilted, the congregation had been seated, and tnc dedication i now comes oil' next Sanhath. Jus: before the j meeting adjourned, Dr. James Hoyce ottered a resolution, viz: I'hht Ihe thanks of this j congregation be rendered to Almighty <?od j for the harmony and success of this day's ; work," and Kev.
