For the Times. From Brown's Store. Mn. Eimtou :?Americans as n people, are too prone to go to extremes, und the couitnou exprcssion "it is all the rage," is accepted as an thority for adopting any course of conductor style of language that the most vulgar or illiterate may attempt to force upon society. Your other correspondent "Occasional," 1 fear is about to run into one of these extremes, in accusing me of being "fast," merely because my article on the picnic happened to be received by you first, which happening consigned his to the waste basket. His idea of my object being matrimony, makes me laugh. Why, my friend, I've been working in the matrimonial harness several years. You've not got "Dick Dumlns, ' yet. You are bad at guessing. Friend "Occasional, remember what Josh Hillings said about "big words," and don't try to choke the readers of the Timta with them. Matrimonial and cotinuhialistic ! Whew?this hot weather. Josh says that words with more than three syllables were made especially to tell fibs with?don't use Oicui, my friend. Well, Mr. Editor, we've had an awful fight up t ?..., n 1 ii..? Aitft old Hoc has fairly whipped the General out mid the farmers arc crowing over him like game chickens. The what crop is the best we have 4 had for many years. Oats arc also fino. Health good ; but the "pill peddlers," are looking hopefully towards the green apple and watermelon season. "OLD" DICK DUNDA8. ? "* * A Sad Event.?Georgetown, Juno 12.?Our community was painfully shocked, nnd suddenly thrown in a state of bereavement to-day by the announcement of the untimely death of Mr. It. Lovat Eraser, the only son of our intendnnt and banker, the lion, ltobcrt E. Eraser.? The mournful and dreadful event occurred about 11 o'clock A. M., at his father's residence, where ho lived, by shooting himself with a pistol, the ball entering his left breast and passing through the heart, causing death within a half hour. S. T. Atkinson, trial justice, empanelled a jury, with George It. Congdon, foreman, and the following verdict was rendered: "That the deceased, It. Lovat Erasei, came to his death by a nistol-shnt wound, inflicted bv himself, nnd. in the jury's opinion, while in a stute of mental aberration.'' The generous and kind nature of our deceased friend, and his congenial manners, had collected for himself in this community a host of warm /J friends, lie is highly thought, of where he is known. Not long sine" he was connected with the Georgetown Tunex us one of its editors. In that cap icily he discharged, his duties manfully ami fearlessly, thereby gaining admiration from all. lie leaves a young and devoted wife and two lovely little children to mourn their loss. He departed this life at the youthful age of about twenty-eight years. ? Cor .Wewx ami Courier. ? A S.vn Accident.?Mr. E. Frank Lylcs, while returning from a hunt on Thursday, was killed by the accidental discharge of his shotgun. It seems that upon arriving within about two hundred vurds of the residence of his brother-in-law, Mr. W. A. Martin, living noar Monticcllo, Mr. Lyles stopped to rest on a fence, where lie was seen sitting by sonic negroes working a short distance away, lie had been (hero but a few moments when the discharge of a gun was heard, pud the negroes saw him fall. Upon arriving at the fence, diey foAud him dead, the contents of the gun having entered his head near the eye and passed out at the back. Mr. Lyles was about 19 years of age, and tlie son of the late Captain E. F. Lyles, of this county. He had been some timo in W'innsboro, attending school, but was compelled to go home on account of sickness, lie was preparing to return when the fatal accident happened. Mr. Lyles was a promising young man, and had made warm fiiunds by his genial disposition. The news of his death caused gcneral'ond profound sorrow.? Winnsboro New a and Iferahl, June 14, l)n. Darky's Ft's bk At..?The fttncrnl of Dr. Darby took place yesterday afternoon at 0 o'clock at Trinity Church. It was attended by a large concourse of people.

A remarkable breach of promise caso has been tried in London. Mr. Jackson contracted to marry Miss Paris. Subsequently he became insane, whereupon Miss Paris sued him for not marrying her. and has actually recovered ?_">(>. The Lord Chief Itaron ruled that the defendant's lunacy did not make a bit of dilferencc. It was argued that so far front being incapacitated for marriage by his lunacy, he all the more needed a wife to take care of him. The thing was settled on purely abstract principles. It was rio'hing that poor Mr. Jackson couldn't be mnriiod ; that no clergymen would marry a maniac. It was shown that Mr. Jackson was rapidly recovering, and when restored to his senses might marry Miss Paris, but that didn't fhango (Jie verdict.
