Last Tuesday morning about S o'clock, the gin bouse and mills belong our Wed] known clerk of Court, George Bolircr, on the Hid G.

On 'tlie preceding Friday evening the Doctor's dwelling was found tobeon fire. Theflames wero extinguish ed before much damage had been done. Both fires were probably the work" of an incendiary.

Sturgeon, who was sentenced to the Penitentiary last May, has been pardoned by tho Sovornor and lias returned to Orangeburg. Those who best kno,w Mr. Sturgeon believe that whatever wrong he oom mitted was committed while ho was Intoxicated,and do not believe that Geo. \Y.

To all manly hearts, to all who are husbands and father*, we appeal now te lend a helping and a kindly ham! to aid George Sturgeon to bo a bettor man.

M. to premcnadl with a waggon through. \vsq A Izlur's store. Changing thoir minds, however, at the last moment, they described the ares of several craiiy circle? with great, r.inidity until they saw Hilcy at the Nkws ollice window when, they inconticntly stopped Ruined tree-boxe* and flying board.-* from the engine hoUse marked the boursij of? their erratic flight, but we have fortun ately no talo to tell ol broken bones. Saiu is looking after tho waggou with a microscope. A Clergyman writing to a friend s.njs, ''My voyago to.Kuropu is iiidilinite ly postponed. 1 ha.e discovered the 'fountain of health' on this side of the Atlantic. Three bottles of Peruvian Syrup h ive rescued me from the pangs of tho fiend Dyspepsia." Dyspoptios should drink from this fountain. Sleeping Towns and Village*. Scattered all ov?r tho South you will find towns and villages that are as sound asleep as ever Hip Van Vinkle was. You may thunder in their cars that there aro more things marching on than John Prown's snul, they'll yawn out they don't care, let them march, all they intend to do is to sleep. These ide'eprrtg towns and villages rtfuse to join in ?hn great march of improvement, you can't rouse them, they aro drugged with the traditions of the past, and thus th iy d >ze and nod, and no man can arouse them. Talk to them about modern improve ments in agricultural and domestic ini ploments, and they'll tell w>u thit wh it Noah used is ^oo 1 uoowgh for th siu They don't want snf 'h''w jiim:;itions; Konli's wifa got alon^ with >ut a s:wieg machine, and thoy don't s.-<? tvhy mo 1 em women can't sew in the goo 1 oi l style.

Endfnies of the now, friends o" the old. you cannot arouse them to the .knowledge that thoysnrV faf ^behind their enorqetic and prt?grefr*tvji neigh bors. They ir.' npalhetid, indifferent. Unwilling to be up und d uo.'. The some old lary way suits them best, and they turn the cold shoulder to every thing like enterprise and modern im pruyemeut. Of course we of the South bare had and st ill have much to depresk a id di* courage um. but we shoul I m.k" the ef fort, at all events, to riso ab>ve eireiin stances. The o>ily way thai the South can ever hope to be prosperous, is to be wide awake, to emerge from the dark old hermit like caves of tho past; to p it the band to the'plough of pro/ress an I improvement, and never to look back. Ouward and upward shou! 1 be our motto; for it is only by ambition and effort that men ever succeeded iu any thing.?DnrutHjtoii i&ulkcnicr. - ?v- - &mm? A few days since J. W. Kcnue, of Pembroke, N. Y., took bid mare from the barn, leuyiag a two mouths' colt be hind. Ou his return, some two hours after, he found the colt on the roof of the barn. Ucing unable to follow the marc, it had" sought some means of cscapo. In tho first place it had gouT up a flight of stairs?fifteen step*? t'uC!U over the hay mow, and out a'i a wiudow iu the gnblo cud rJl tlio barn, on to a half roof. From this elevation it work ed its way to tha roof of the main birn, which is very steep ; then it returned to tho half-roof, w heuco, on the rot urn of tho mother, it jumped to the ground, a dibtunce of fourteen feet, a font which it accomplished without being the least injured. A school boy being requested to writo a composition ou the subject of '?pin"* produced the following : ''Pins are voiy usi ful. They have saved the lives of a Laical many men, women and children? in fact whole families." "How so," asked tbe puv/h d teacher; au 1 the hoy replied. 1 Why, by not swallowing tin in."
