Died, Feb. 16th, Mrs. Dolly Hunt e: near Jalapa, in the 78th, year of is age. - Mr. E. J. Houseal, aged twenty-fou years, died.yesterday morning, of cor gestion of the bowels. He was sic only a few days, during which he er duied the intentest suffering ; and h was conscious until the moment of hi death. His mother who was visitin in Orangeburg, was written for seven days ago, but did not reach home i time to see him alive. Seldom have we been called upon t make an announcement that gave u so. much pain; and we sympathiz with the family whose hearts ar wrung with this bereavement. Ei was once our pupil, and his manly de portment won our respect and love He was endowed with an acti-:ity o body and a keenness of intellect tha gave promise of a useful an-1 honora ble career. His engaging manner made him popular in his community and his loss will be keenly felt. Mor than all he was a good young man, i1 the best sense. It is sad that one s young and so promising was smitten that his young life went out when it future was brightest ; that the b,v was plucked when all were anxious; looking for the full blown flower. Bu there is comfort in the reflection tha the flower of his life has been trans lnted, where it will always wear hter bloom, and breathe a riche fragrance. Cotton Quotations for Thursday.

One of the proofs of its ir excellence is the number of drummers who quarter there, and who are loth - to leave and always anxious to return. * A word to the wise is sufficient, and - there is no need to say more.

Laborers' Contracts r It is important that all farmers .shoult- know the folowing law: All r- cor)t racts made between 'owners of land or their agents and laborers shall be witnessed by one or more disinter ested persons, and, at the request of b either party, be duly execnted before aa Tr'.al Justice, whose duty it shall be to read and explain the same to the Sparties. Such contracts shall clearly set forth the conditions upon which the laborer or laborers engaged to work, Semibraciing the lengtli of time, the Samount of money to be paid, and when; if it be on: shares of crops, what porion of the crop) or crops. The law provi les that either party violating such contract may be punished by 0 fine or imp)risonment. e Whaile these contracts are not requir - ed to be in writing, they ought always a to be witnessed. Of 0 all the attempts which have been m zade of late to utilize the wonderful y resources of electricity for domestic p'roe,none have been more strik ingly successful, and few are so initer e.-ting to a- wide range of readers, as h the new invention of the Por-table EEleet:-ic Light Company, whose mau e u:factory, at 79 Water Street, is nowv a e scene of the greatest activity, both day ,and night. The instrument from gwhich this company takes its nanme is e a small and compact piece of mechan - ismn, occupying a space only five inches square, and it can be readily carried from room to room, as it weighs but - tive pounds. It is so constructed as~ to furnaisha elestricity whenever desired for y a large number of import.e t and con 1 stantly recaurring domestic uses. s When provided with simple window, "safe or dloor attachment, it serves as t an unfailing and startling burglar ea alarm, the trespasser being confronted n with light and bell in:stantly, and is l- eally adIapted for the ordinary uses it ot a call bell. Asa alighter, it is perfect. beig capable of producing instanta uieous ight in aniy part of the house, by adjustments furnished by the com a pa.v. It can also be attache(d to a yf miical~l galvanic coil by which a-pow r- er-ful current of electricity can be con ig veyed. M:mny prominent business men are interested in the company, which 1 was incorporated under the laws of Massachusetts, and is enjoying already tsa most gratifying success. Orders or H inquiries should be addressed to the Sbusiness office of the companf. No. 22 Waern Street. We understand that this Instrument is sold at the low price of five.dollars for the lighter; ten dol lars complete with attachments.-Bos ton Traeller. Sinking Fund Commir.sion. As we have b:-en asked what are the duties of th:! S:-,king Fund Commis sion, about which much has been. said lately. we give the following state muent of the law on the subject : The S-ertiary of State shall take charge of all prope y of the State, the care of which is no' otherwise provid ed for by law ; and hold it subject to the directions and instructions of the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund. And a1l vacant lands purchased by the late Land Commissioners of the State, shall be subject to the directions and instructions of the Commissioners I of Sinking Fund. For the purpose of paying the pres-, eut indebtedness of the State, and the interest thereon, and such further in debtedness as may hereafter be con tracted by the State, the Governor, Comptroller General, and the Attor ney General, the Chairman of the Fi nance Committee of the Senate. and Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means of the House ofRepresen tatives are constituted Commissioners to be known as "The Commissioners of the Sinking Fund," to receive and manage the incomes and revenues set apart and applied to the Sinking Fund of the State. It is the duty of the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund to sell and con vey for the State, all such real and personal property, assets and effects belonging to the State, as is not in ac tual public use, the sales to be made from time to time, in such manner and upon such terms as they may deem most advantageous to the State. The proceeds of such sales shall be set. aside, and awarded to the Sinking Fund of the State. The Commissioners are required to report, annually, to the General As senmblythe condion of the Sinking Fund and all sales and other transactions counected therewith. All the reve nue s derived from such sales, are ap plied to the extinguishment of the public .debt, by investing the sam, in the public. sureties of the State. In other words, this Fund is invested in State bonds, which are then canceled, the debt of the State being thereby diminished. Court of Common Pleas. The following jury cases were tried: Dr. P. B. Ruff against Lucinda Brooks, appeal from Trial Justice Court; verdict for the plaintiff, for . $57.50. Mary Spence against James H. Wil liam.. sealed note ; verdict for plain- 1 tiff for $172.32. D.

Glymph. danman:es for moving 250 panels of fence ; verdict for the plaintiff, $150. A. K. Tribble against Wes. Saimuels, attachment. under lien; verdict for the plaintiff for $12.32. A new trial has been ordered in this case. Rob:. C. Wright against James A. Mars, as Executor, sealed note ; ver dict for defendant. Dr. R. C. Carlisle against the C. & G. Railroad Company, damages for burning 29 bales of cotton in the old warehouse that was destroyed by tire last June. Te trial- of this case oc cupied thiegreater p)art of Wednesday, and all day Thursday. The plaintifr was replresented by M. A. Carli-le, Esq., and the defendant, by Messza.1 Saber and Caldwell, and John C. IIaskell, Esq., the Attorney for the road. The argument occupied. half a day, and the jury retired late Thurs day evening. After remai.*ing out several hours. they found for'the plaiin tifr, a verdiet for about one half of the value of the cotton destroyed. We learn that they decided that the railroad compJany was "half liable" and the warehau)tse-man "half liable," anid accordingly divided the value of the cotton by two. Thue J~udge gianted a new trial in this case, feeling as he said, that the jury evidently found. a compromise verdiet. There are several cases of the same kind, against the R. R., but-they will not -be tried until the determination of this, which is likely to go to the Su preme Court. The jurors were discharged on Fri (lay morning, after trying eight cases in six days.

The second citizeas' meeting for the purpose of talking about a 1ire depart ment was held in the Opera House, Monday night. The few whites who were prese nt were reinforced by the members of the Hook and Ladder Company , who were out in a body, prepared to receive the sm all lumps of "taffy" that were flung to them by diseerning speakers. The Mayor being absent, Gen. W. H. Hunt was called to the chair. The minutes of the last meeting were then approved, and the report of the Com mittee which was appointed to ascer tain the probable cost of a fire depart ment, and to raise as large an amount as possible by voluntary snbscription, was read by Mr. M. Foot, chairman. The report, after being amended in several particulars, reads as follows: The Committee, after mature delil eration and inquiry, find that th. amount necessary to pay for the nee es ary supply of water-works and ap paratus for the extinguishing of fires, cannot be raised by voluntary subscrip tion. and the only means is by direct taxation upon the property of the town. That, until the necessary funds can be raised, we would suggest that the Truck now owned by the town, and in the hands of a regularly organized Fire Company composed of colored citizens who have at the late fires rendered valuable assistance and showg that by proper drilling and with proper tools they can be made an efficient fire company, your committee would respectfully recommend : 1st. That a proper person be fur nished this company for drilling and directing them at fires. 2d. That the Truck, Ladders, Bab %ocks, Buckets. Hooks, Axes and all things belonging to truck, be placed in complete tepair and an extra num ber of buckets be placed in the truck house. 3d. That the Town Council direct their clerk, or appoint a committee to eommunicate with proper persons to iscertain the co-4 of the building of sisterns, laying pipes, and the cost of t movable or stationary engine, or inything that is necessary to the estab lishment of an efficient fire company. 4th. That as soon as the probable ,ost of a fire department is ascertain d and published, the huestion of ap ,lying to the Legislature for leave to levy a special tax for said fire depart nent bb submitted to the taxpayers of he town for their vote thereon. M. FOOT, Chairman. R. H. WRIGHT. W. T. TARRANT, B. II. CLINE. J. E. BROWN. The report was considered by see ions and was adopted. The meeting ,ot cold, and nervous, and impatient Lnd adjourned almost without a mo ion. It is supposed that the Council vill be ready to submit the matter to he people at the election of a new ouncil on the 12th of April. Nobody was surprised that the vol intary subscription movement failed; tnd it is now believe'i that the :ire de >artment,if it is ever organized, must be >aid for by levying a special tax upon 1 the taxable property of the town. he citizens are now looking in that lirection, but it is impossible to say iow far they will be able to go-in the tbsence of anything like enthusiasm m the subje-.
