APPOINTMENTS-BY TBE GOVERNOR.
W. C. MORAoE, Esq., has been appointed by
his Execllency, Governor MEANs, Notary Public
for Edgefield District.
Also, Mr. HENRY 11. HILL has been appointed
Tax Collector for the District, during the unex
pired term of SAMPSoN B. MAYS, deceased.
THE DEATH OF SAMPSON B. MAYS.
IT is with deep regret that, we are called on to
announce the death of our worthy Tax Collector,
Mr. S. B. arevs. Mr. MAYS met with an accident
upon the Georgia State Railroad, some week ago,
which resulted in his death after several days of
extreme suffiering. One of his legs was entirely
crushed and the other badly broken below the
knee. We will not undertake here to give the
precise circumstances which caused his death, as
it is probable the whole affair will be hereafter
Investigated in a proper manner. Suffice it to
say that a collision took place between two train@,
on one of which the deceased was a passenger.
A few moments preceding the collision, (as we
are informed,) the warning was given by an offi
eer of the Road-" Passengers, take care of your.
selves"-in attempting to do which, the deceased
received the sad injury which terminated in his
death.
Mr. MAYS was universally esteemed in this Dis
trict as a worthy gentleman and a most eflicient
officer.
EITENSVE FIRE AND LOSS OF PROPERTY.
A DreTaucTIVZ Fire has just laid a portion of our
Village in ruins. About 3 o'clock Tuesday morn
ing the alarm of Fire was given from the Public
Square, and, in a few moments, large flames
were seen issuing from the Bar-Ronm on Mr.
SPANN's premises. The Fire soon extended across
to the Store of Messrs. WILLIAMS & CUntSTIZ;
thence to Mr. Wr. P. BUTrEa's; and, in a short
time, that whole block of buildings was entirely
consumed.
The flames hail in the meantime caught upon
the roof of the Jail, and soon this building was in
ruins. With much effort was the Fire kept from
reaching the SrAxx HOTEL on one side, and the
PLANTZR's HOTEL on tho other. The direction
of the wind at first led the flames from Mr. But
L!A'S Store across the Street to SULLIVAN &
BaOTIItR'S Store, and to the Dwellings of Mrs.
LABoanz, and those buildings must certainly
have been consumed, which would have thrown
almoat the whole Village into flames, but for the
most active efTorts on the part of the citizens, and
the fortunate lulling of the wind at the most criti
cal period of the Fire.
. Most of the Merchandize in the buildings con
sumed was, we believe, safely removed to the en
closure on the Public Square. This is by far the
most destructive Fire which has ever visited our
Village.
It is but just to observe, that great energy was
exerted. by the Fire Company as well as by the
eitizens generally. But there are some, we think,
both wihite and black, who from extraordinary
effort and daring, deserve and should receive the
thanks of the community.
difficulty in procuring water, delayed much the
stopping of the flame.. The Public Pump was
out of order, and the private wells difficult of ac.
ecis. Should not supplies of water for much oc
eons be better provided !
The fire originated in the front shop of Mr.
SwPa's Confectionary and Bar. This building,
Including a ten-pin alley, was an entire loss to
the owner, as It was covered by no insurance.
None of die goods were saved. Loss estimated
at abeut $3,000.
The Store-house, belonging to Col. CHRISTrE,
was next destroyed. the building not inbured.
Most of the goods of WILLI~AMus & Cuaris-re.
were saved. Their loss in goods did not much
exceed 81,000. Their insuranice policy expired at
12 M!. on the day preceding the fire.
COLGAN & LEGG, Merchant Tailors, in the
sanme building, saved much the largest portion of
their goods--in fact, nearly all.
Mr. W. P. BUTLEa'S goods were nearly all
saved-he was insured considerably over the
amount of his losses. The Clothing Store, ad
joining his and under the same roof, sustained a
very slight loss. 'The buildinig itself was anewly
built one, (the property of Avoav BLAND, Esq.,)
-and was not insured. Mr. BL.A N'S loss may be
put down at about $3,500, as the two buildings on
-the same block belonging to him, and occupied by
8xAy, Rzro and McEvov, were also burned
down.
Mr. Rzwo, Tinner, saved his entire stock. Mr.
SEAT, Tinner also, lost all-his loss estimated at
about 0400. Mr. McEvov, Boot and Shoe maker,
lost about $200. -
In addition to the above the Jail was burned.
Also, the market house and engine house.
A new jail being under contract,.arrangements
had been made by the Sheriff for the removal of
the prisoners and they were to have been sent to
the Nowherry jail the very day the fire occurred.
There were only twvo prisoners, one of whom (the
one chargeable with a minor offence) escaped.
The other has been sent as was intended.

destroyed. The entire loss is estimated at $30,000,
the greatest portion under insurance.

FARMER'S AND MECHIANIC'S HEALTH ASSO
CIATION.
Wz have had before us a copy of the "Farm
s's and Mechianic's Health Journal," which seems
to be the organ of the Health Association above
stamed. These Associations are, among the novel
ideas of the day, not the least'prominent or bene
ficial. It is a good thing to avoid the " ills that
flesh is heir to" by care and circumspection. But
when these means f'ail and an attack must be en
countered, it is no bad thing'to have an econmicalI
way of paying the Doctor's bill. This seems to
be achieved by the plan-of the aforesaid societies.
Not only may expensive bills be sometimes liqui
.dated in consideration of a small advance tto the
general fund ; but, thus far, a dividend of 12 1-2
per cent upon the invJestmenSt has been declared.
This is a.rapid age and abounding in many origi
nal institutions ; but if what we see in reference
to the 'one under consideration be true, it is des
tined to take slut lead of all others, (human ones,
of course, we mean.) .b
Those desirous of knowing-more aboutthe mat
ter can find out by subscribingio-the Health Jour
vial. It is published at Worcester, Massachusetts,

Methinks I see fried middlins in a dish,

Methinks I'm eatin turnip greens and .jole

THE SEASONS,
We have no intention of being poetical in this
aragraph ; for ne are by no means in Thomson
an Mood. All we desire to express, in reference Ic
o the Seasons, is that old Winter has been down ti
upon us -for the last month or two with especial. r
rengeance. It is said by old observers -that the to
emperature has been more steadily severe than CO
ver known -iri this latitude. At the time' we are to
vriting, our toes ache from '.old within five feet thi
f a good fire. Last Tuesday morning when our
lfillage was in flames, the water poured upon de
hreatened buildings to prevent ignition became an
rozen immediately, and several lives were jeopar- ori
lized frbm slipping up on the roofs of the houses. t
L'he "cold-Saturday" of 1835 is the onuly day ii:
vhich'we have heard of as comparing with the ni
ntenfty of this Winter's cold. tei
It may not be any thing at all uncommon, but hu
twas to us rather an amusing circurnstance, thiat
mur chickens at home did'nt come down from pa
oost that morning until an hour or two after sun- sti
iso. Well, it is a cheering reflection to think ehi
hat the regularity and steady continuance of the TI
iard weather gives promise of a pleasant and hi.
qually regular Spring. Tw

t D oat his .resistence, 'Roselands. in Edge
y fl1d District, on the 28th ultimro, Mr.-WnminErL
Slla'.osi', in the 6-2nd year of his age.
a For miany years, the deceased had been in ill
y health, laboring under a disease both of the
.lns and stomach. Within the few last years
oif his life, Mr. iH. eansed to look upon death as
-an indefinite event, but regarded it as a certainty
that msight come at anmy monment. H~e content
plated this awful chnge of existence with medi
tative flrmnss, pious resignation, and christian
Spreparation.
Tihe writer of this ohituary notice parted with
-his friend a few weeks since, under circumstan
eens that mrade a deep imipression on his mind,
and at the time~ exerte-l a silent influence on his
Ifeeling's to, which lhe would have been afraid to
~ ive expression in worrds. IIe satw that ties of a
long cherished asseeintion on this earth were to
Sbe dissolved, anid that friends would part never
Sto moect again this uide. of the grave. Hie re
.n members well the quivering voice withi whichm
lhis hand wvas pressed when his departed friend
pronounced these words: "CGoo ux.xss roe!"
In his conversations the decrased orten alluded
to his approachinlg death, and said lie was pre
pared for it at any mement, with the hope that
he might perform his dutii-s while herre. One
remark escaped him iyvithr feeling expression.1
which was, that whent lie was gone he hoped it
could besaidl of him that "lhe had passed thromugh
life with an endeavor to performo its duties from
Iuprigh t metives and to, the best of his ability."
His whiole deportment exhibited unat 'eted
cheerfulness, afyeotioun, and rehigious resignstion.
There arc few men's characters that conid have
been more safely trnsted to thre scales thtan thlat
of Mr. Brooks. The writer of this does not
undiertake to say .that he had a higher sense of
rght, or a better standard of justice than others. g
lBut he ensay, that thre deceased performed his
duties from pure motives, inspired by a love of.
truth, and directed by tho dictates of an en
lighitened conlscien'ce. Hie was a mtember of the.
Ep'iscopjai Chutrch. His piety had nothiing of
bigotry or ecant in its composition. It was, that i
the " meditations of the heairt might be accepta
ble to GCon." The deceased left this world with
a good reputation, and withl the -cheering pros- F
poet and hope of entering on a higher and a 0
better existence beyond the gravo. In his last It
mooments he exhibited a noble serenity and com- r
posure. When the elock in his chamber struck
thle hour of 4 A. M. he pointed towards it.ebhy,
aif recognizing in its tones the announcement
that' his houi~ was conme. Whilst his eldest son
supported' im, in his arms and anxiously noted =
the obbingt of his ptulse, now faint and fast re
eeding, ho asked with perfect eahnness, " has it
stopped." " .No father, butt it is very feeble,"
was the answer. "-Then let moe-be comnposed,"~
were his last wordri, amid folding his handis upon
his breast he expired.
Mr. Brooks was a native of Newberry Dis
trict. and was the only son of-the late Colonel -
Z. S. Brooks, and his first wife, Elizabeth But
Ier, tho sister of the late Gener al William Butler.
At thre time ..f the deathr of Ihis excellent and
prou-1 .spirted' mnether, Whitfie.ld was about 12
yezis of age. - Bly this ad.event Ito -and htis U
thtre esisters rrusinrined an irreparable loss. Its.
thteir surviing~ father they found one earnestly
and arl'etiona:;tely devoted toi their interest and
wclfare. The writer of this has often heard his y1
friends say, that whilst his father gave him all J
thmo 6pportunity and advantages ofn education and fai
fortune in life-and no parent labred more for thi
his cihren--ho and his sisters were under an rea
abiding debt of grititudo to a neighborin~g aunt, th<
'who had given them the advice of a parental '1
guardian. sat

where he leatrned arithmetic and acquired the

fifteen or sixteen he co:mmenced thte study of the -
classics, at Mount Bethel A cademy, under the
