It is rumored that Mr. D. Louis con

It is thought that the party lino

paign of 1876j than at any previous

depend very much upon the conduct of
the cou8ervatives iu the meantime.
Gov. Chaniterlaiu's course receives
the almost universal approval of the press

of the leading Republicans of this State
He is teeaeious, and having once made
up his mind for good cannot be
Bwerved therefrom.

much sharper in driving a bargii n
than the Jews, and that this Wa3 the
reason so few of them lived iu Boston :
that there were not tcu Israelites in

"Israelite/' we should like to lind ihm."
Tho house and senate on Tuesday

An iudus'.rious citizen, who lives uot^
over a thousand miles from towu, arose!
a few mornings ago, while the festive;
lark was snorning, aud with a tin buck j
et under his arm went to tho barn toi
milk the family cow. It was dark and)
rainy, and iu fumbling about for old j
Hrindle, he got into the wrong pew, an d
began to manipulate tho oiT mule of his
wagon team. Ho cun'i remember now
which, side of the roof ho weut out at.
but bi.s recollection of alighting on tho
picket fence is very vivid. lie expects

A merchant once thought he had
hit a great idea, and was doing a good
thing by going around to get all the
merchants in his town to give up adver
tising and stop simultaneously. uThcu,"
said he,"we will all be on a fair and
even basis and save ourselves a heavy
expense.'' Hut one wise old merchant
nipped this enterprise in the bud. "L t
us then," said he, .'give up our signs,
our store windows our stock, stores and
all?that will make us all the. more even
Hut will it be better ? No! I would
rather he uneven and do more business
and more advertising than you dare
do."

Mr. John Danner the right hand

The Kantist Sunday School?
( hristmiw Tree, at the Jiiap
ti?t -Church.
The Christmas Tree at tho Baptist
Church ou Thursday night last was ona
of the prettiest things of the kin d wc
ever saw. This treat was to have been
given to the ohildren belonging to the
Baptist Sunday School on Christmas
night, but in consequence of sickness
andj various other hindcranccs was
postponed. Tho teachers and friends
of the School howevor with a prai o
worthy zeal, determined that tho event
should transpire at the earliest convou
icut time; so the night of tho 4th inst.,
was fixed upon, and the hearts of
teachers, scholars, friends and others
were made to beat with a livelier pulse
of anticipated pleasure, neural hin.1.
The tree was superbly arranged, and
gladdened the heart of many none. Tho
supper at tho Engine Hall could not
have been surpassed.
Without making any invidious dis
tinctions, wo are requested to return the
thanks of. tho Supeutcndcut and
Teachers to Mr. aud Mrs. Kirk Robin
son lor the use of their Organ; to Mrs.
Daniel Bobinson, Miss Fuauio Cannon
and Willie Robinson for valuable
assistance rendered on the occasion,
and to the Hall Committee for the use
of their Rail.
The* Sunday School is Iii a thriving
condition, and next Christmas we hope
to eoo another tiflnir of the kind which,
will ever surpass that of Thursday
night last.

SAD ACCIDENT?
We regret to announce that II. U.
Sin css Esq., an old and highly esteemed
Citizon of Orangeburg, who has been
largely connected with all of the varied
interests of the, Town, tuet some time
since with a most unfortunate accident
and an untimely end?a "watery
j grave."
\ The details art! as follows : Mr. S.
.starting' from the roads leading from
? the country into Town, near the 11. II.,
/walked down the leaward side of the
retinal (otherwise called R?ssel St.,)
yscoking a Ibiding place to enable'him
yto cross to windward, or hoping to find
5-totne bateau to "ferry" him across.
Upon arriving near the Court House
Square, and finding no fording place or
cjouvoyancc, Mr. S. with his character
il-tie impetuosity and go ahead itivincss
Uli vesting himself of all cncumlir.iriees
I avid determined to .cross at all .hazards,
plunged into the dark and turbid mud
ajnd water of the canal (otherwise called
RjUSScl St.,) and boldly waded out three
f v et in to the angry stream, sinking inch
by inch as be progressed. Seeing his
situation many of his friends on the
1-sLward sido urged his return butasomo
of**, I duty urged him on and moving four
fecit and a ball further into the canal
(otherwise called It. S.,) he found* him
sulf completely submerged in the silent,
stolgnant ^waters of the canal (otherwise
e>*icd_ R Sv) nothing .otAAtii he'ttvr
visible except from his ancles up?in
this hopeless condition he piteously
culled aloud for relief?crowds gather
ed from cither side of tho canal (other
wise called 11. S.) Mr. S. being well
and favorably known to ail?everyone
iu the neighborhood and the surround
ing country, hastened to his assistanci
? hastcued at once, some came riding
Oxuu, some didn't?sumo rode Mules,
tome Horses - but all tame to save Mr
S. hut "how to do it" was a connuudrura
no one could solve?so leaving Mr. S.
up to his ancles, and suffocating in the
slimey-uiudd) waters of the canal
(otherwise called R. S..) they retired to
consult. Finally aft er mouths of most
intelligent and Liberal dibata and
thought they unaniiuously ngroal to
build a bridge across this trcaohcr ous
stagnant eaual (otherwise called IL S..)
and so as they bridged the cart al ?
(otherwise Sec.,) to rcseuo Mr. S. from
his perilous position which he hil oc
cupied for such along?long?weary
time. The plan was at once put into
operation, the crossing progressed and
in the oour.se ol time reached Mr. S.
(still stuck in the mud), but, "alas for
human hopes" as connected with canals,
(otherwise called R. S.) Business was
dead.

family: and, whereas, wo always reeoguize
the hand that doth not err in any provi
dence however dark; and foe! and how sub
missively to the decree which each of us in
