It's the little cuss iu tho cradle that make home howl. What did lo die of? Iodido of po tassium. . A Cairo pound keeper has resigned because tho commou council objected to his writing Hon. beforo his name. The divorce lawyors in Chicago were recently horrified by the announcement of a silver wedding in that oity. Jones, who has latoly been married, snys that courtship is bliss, but matri mony is blister. A book entitled "Lectures lo Married Men" has appeared in England. Have they not had their Bharc already '( There ain't no trusting nu Injun; He's a catawampous cuss, And when he's n doiug of sun thin bad, lie's a wishing 'twas sunthlu wuss. A Georgia newspapor recently inform cd its readers that it was not worth while for them to raiso boys. The agonized editor inBibfs that he wrote the word hogs. A Troy paper compliments upon her good memory a womau who identified on jhe street a dress Btolen from her four months ago. Considering the frequent changes in tho style.it was rather singu lar that she could keep it in mind. This is what a Virginia newspaper says of one departed : Aye. tonderly close his eyelids, In the sloop of the tyrant death, Composing his cold limbs sadly, With tears and a bated breath. The clods mny abovo him harden, With the turf, or the chilling enow? Oh! bury your dog in the garden, IIo*ll make the cabbages grow. A Fonda, N. Y., schoolmaster, who severely flogged an urchin for swapping a bogus cent for a brass watch chain, du viug school hours, last Winter, nnd who was sued by tho aggrieved parents of the lad, has just won the suit. But ho had to pay hi? lawyer SI50, aud ns this is more than he could make in a year of teaching, it is not at all strange that he has gone to farming. Tho ministers came last week to pray for Paul Carroll, of Jamestown, Ky., who is in'the last st age of consumption, and, having lived a wicked lifo seut for them. But, when they oponed prayor, ?***?. O^rr"1! ??mortnil. with tearful eyes, that she couldn't sfhud it, tnis di- j viding up of a family by praying: all the balance of the family had gone to h?1. No man ought to bo separated from his kin ! Old Mr. Frnuklhi, of Cattaraugus County, New York, created a vast deal of excitement the other day by throwing a? ploughshare iuto tho river, onaccoun t ofhis wife's incessant scolding. Mr. Franklin, it might bo well to add, was attached to tho weight by a ropo; conse quently, Mrs. F. has lost a husband, a ploughshare, and three icet of good rope just through a chronic propensity to wag her tongue 1 Bufua Choatc, or somebody elso, said that the ways of Providence, and tho decisions of a petit jury,are past account ing for. Wc mny safely say this of the latter since a Pittsburgh jury handed up to the judge a communication indorsed, "The honorable gug." To theo, wsro I 0 stickleback, I'd swim as fast as fins can more. To thee, wore I a hunter's hack, I'd gallop on tho wings of love. By as I'm but a (simple man, '111 oome by train, love?if I can ! An Illinois paper remarks that "Our ? readers ncen't try to get any points out of of our political articles; we put 'em in this week because our pntont-medi cino stereotypes have boon mislaid." For towns must grow, and trade increase, But nerve and enterprise, And they who'd live must have the pluck To risk aud advertise. There ore somo men in our town Who da not advertise: * flood customers go past their doors, Tho cheery cash likewise. And when they post their books at night They're the saddest men in town, And ever and anon they inonn: The place is going down!" These same fellows oppoic new streets too. The first ease tried in Chicago by n lady . lawyer occurred a few days ago, but its results uro not known at the pres ent writing. "A long-suffering laud, lady " the nccount roads, "brought suit against a lawyer for arrears in board," and engaged a fumale counsel to prose cute her claim. The gallantry which the profession has ever extended to la dies should not have boenTorgotten in the hour of trial whioh oarae to this nnfor tanate luwyer. Whether sho handled kirn "Without gloves," and eloquently rec.ittd liberal extracts from his ances tral histor y showing a tendency in his progenitors to eot their bonrd biljs nnd bring landladies to poverty, whether she talked the judge and jury iuto stioh a aondition that life .would be a sweet boon to them on nay terms, or how she dis posed of the onso, has not transpired. It is comical to eoujectare how a Chieago lawyer conducts himself in oourt where the opposing counsel is a lady. It may be safely assumed that the lady lawyer's clients will win the first hun dred suits or so by clear default arising Iroin the ?ru-.bnrroesnjcnt of tue opposite oouusol. They have a rapid way of living and dying iu Memphis. Dr. Miller of At lanta, who was in Memphis whilo tho cholera prevailed thoro, narrates a sprightly incidont. At seven o'clook a man went to market and bought his breakfast, went home, cooked it, and was eating it, when ho was taken witli cholera. He sent for Dr. Miller, ,v!;o visited him at nine o'clock, prescribed and told him he would he b ick in an hour. At a quarter past ton ho return ed. The man was not only dead,but had heeu buried, and the room swept and garnished for another occupant. What could Dr Miller have given him? THE ORANGEB?RG NEWS AlltiUSTlh? I?.

"Merely to open up cheap lnts for poor men" is, tho Tiuu s aeo?ns to think, a ? very ignoble object. That id jus I about as much as we expected froai thrit journal. Some of the best citizens of this place tdgued the call for the first now Street aud most of cur leading meu sigued the petition for tho one now under consider ation. Will the Time* have the good ness to say, und r or over soino ic.-pon sible name, to whoai it hlludes iu its concluding phrase :.o "dub it Specula tion/" Tho jer.-ons who would be most largely and immediately bcuefi'.tid by the new street so strenuously advnea ted by this paper, are those who own real estate along i's projected route, and we have been assured on behalf of most of those gentlemen that they have no objection to, but on the contrary favor the enterprise, provided the street does not cut too near to the middle of their homesteads, which there is not the .-lightest necessity for it to do. Copt. .lames V. Izlur. n good man and true, was, while formerly Intendant of Oram cburg, the first tu suggest the opening of the last new .Street. That it has alroady been of great advantage to our town, we have yet to hear contra dicted, and that movement was under taken by Captain Izlar simply and solely for the good of Orangeburg. Per sonal interest therciu he had none, as he did not owu an iuch of land ou the street. Of cour?e the Time* has the ri^ht to encourage or discourage any public enterprise whatever : but it will j lease henceforth conliuo its remarks Strictly to those subjects which come le gitimately within the field of newspaper criticism. Somebody drew a hundred thousand dollars in the Louisrillu lottery the other day, and a few astounded Orange burgers were talking about it pear Patrick's store. TI10 mention of this cuormous sum at first struck every man dumb. Finally they rallied a little, aud each bogau to wonder boW ho would feel and act if ho were su Idonly to come into the possession of such a pile of money. Ooe man said he would take two doctors, go straight home and to bed, have his head shaved, try a warm bath, bleeding aud mustard plasters, and stay in a dark rouui for a week, to pro veut the thiug goiug to his brain Auothcr fellow said he could stand it in small doseB, say $10,000 at a tinio, but would certainly bo apprehensive if the whole sum came at onco. Othor men had other, but not very different, ideas on tho subject, tho general opiuiou seeming to be that if any Orangeburger wero to draw a 8100,000 prize ho would run a terrible risk of brain fevor. If Drs. Elliott and Salley will stiok by us, however, we, for one, are willing to "stand tho hazard of the dio." The Kcimtoi'Hliip. The death of the Hon. J. LY. Jainisou has created a vacancy iu the Senator Bhip of this County which it will not be difficult to fill, notwithstanding the fatality which, thus fur, has followed tbe incumbents of that offico siuce 1808. Thero are several candidates already in the held, from whom, or from other0 yet to be announced, we hope tho best pos sible selection will finally be made, flic Scnatorship is the most importaut office iu the gift of the people of the Couuty, the Senator controlling, as ib generally understood, all the principal county appointments made by the Exec utive. We learn that the Governor will i shortly order au election, and that a meeting of the Republican County Con voution will Boon bo called to determine upon a nominee. Wo sincorely hope that iho action or this body will result in good for the people at large, which is, indeed, the highest iuteiest of the Re publican party. [communicated .j Mr. Editor : As "Temperance" or "Drunke'noss" is now beginning to agitate the public mind, and p?bfic men too, there is some hope for Orangeburg. ? "Looker On," in your last issue, ap pears to bo well versed iu tho law in lh.it respect' and sppcars :c desire the Sons of Temperance to bring actions and abolish the traffic iu whisKey, nnd says "It is their duty." He this as it may, the Sons of Temperance of Orange burg arc young in years, and few iu numbers, through increasing rapidly. aud arc not justified yet iu taking this vigorous step, to stop this damning curse. But wo hope ere long to make the Temperance power felt in every community throughout the land "Looker On" 8iiys^"If they (the Sous of Temperance) aro really iu earnest in their noble work, let them demonstrate it." By thin, ho me tus that we, as a body, should do what is the StVorn duty of the Sheriff, ^Deputy Sheriff, Coroners and their deputies, nnd cvory Trial Justice, as this violation of the State Statutes certainly comes "within their view and knowledge." And 1, as a mem ber of the order of the Sons of Temper ance, am opposed to doing what is the sworn duty of-another, especially when he be a State officer. We have Trial JuBtices in town, plenty of them, and they aro certainly not doing their duty in this respect. Read the extract from the license law, (as furnished by "Look er on.") 31 r. Trial Justices of Orange burg, and see if thareis not a required duty for you to perform in regard to Rar rooms. If the Trial Justices would issue a notice to all Bar-keepers within the Towa to Comply forthwith with the pro visions of the law in regard to Tavern Licenses, it would have the desired effect; and they will then have done their sworn duty. I am glnd Mr. Editor, to see that the "New Street," movement is going ahead, a.id hop:t ere long to see it one of our principal thorough-faros. Let us hear about the "market" occasionally, so as the people wont forget it. MORE ANON. [COMMUNICATED.J Mr. Editor : ? I noticed in the Tinut an editorial in regard to the proposed new street on the south side of Ku?scll Street, which speaks something about "self interest." Now sir I am utterly surprised that a public journal would for a moment think that anything for tho interest of a growiug Town like Ornngeburg was merely for self interest I nin certain that at least a hundred more names would have been added to the list published in your public spirited journal if the list had been more general ly circulated. So, go ahead with the now street question, Mr. Nkwb, and I will guarantee that it will add an hundred fold iutcroBt to our Town and Citizens aud a little wee bit to self inter est iu the bargain. Old fogyism, Bah 1 That's played. Our motto and cry is Now Street! New Street! New Street ! How many good people havo fled from Orangeburg ' on account of no available building lots to be had or houses to let. Yes, Mr. Editor brew many 7 a?v* ?'.Ml fogies uro cryiug agaiust thsir ovru an d ovorylody else's interest, too. I repeat, go ahead with not ouly ono but many new streets. CITIZEN. The Richmond Dukl.?It is rolatcd of the venerable mother of McCarty that sho was aware from the first of her Bon's intention to oall Mordecni to ac count. That on his suggestion to her as he lay sick from the boating roceived from Mordccai, that possibly his friends might refuse to bear his message to his opponent, aho said : "Be of good cheer, my son ; il they roiusc, I'll carry it my self." As is known, Colonel Tabb being sent for readily oonsoated to act It is said, 1 know not with how much truth, that this .Spartan mother was not far from tho field when tho combat took place. At any rato, whoa the perforated body of her son arrived at home at a lato hour on that fatal Friday ni<;!it, the anxious friends who convoyed liim into tho maternal presence found every convenience necessary to meet just such a contingency as had happened.?X. Y. Herald. Tribute of Respect Ala regular communication of St. Mat thews Lodge No. 145, A. F. M. held on Sat urday, July 5th, 1878, the following tribute of respect was unanimously adopted: "Behold! what havoc*the scythe of time makes among the button race!
