ing of races passed its third reading, and was ordered to be enrolled for ratification. The bill to pensions citizens of South Carolina, disabled in the service of the Confederate States, was taken up. Mr. Murray moved to strike out the enacting words of the bill. He was compelled to take that position, he said, by his sense of duty to his constituents and the State. He did not think the State could atford it. If the bill was a good one, it should be extended to the helpless families of those who gave not only limbs, but their lives for the State, with the best management, taxation would probably have to be increased, and the bill would augment the burdens of the people to the amount of at least $36,000. Mr. Moody favored the bill. It would impose no burden on the people. They would be heartily willing to pay a mill more, it necessary, to help feed the suffering families of those who fought for them. There would not be more than five hundred pensioners, and the cost would be little more than the amount appropriated, last session, for the Columbia canal. The House refused to strike out the enacting clause, and the bill was made the special order for Thursday next. The joint resolution to pay to the widow and daughter of the late Gen. R. H. Anderson, the balance of the salary be would have been entitled to as phosphate agent for one year, had he survived, came up for consideration.

The bill relinquishing $3,000 to the heirs of John Blair; passed its third reading and was ordered to be enrolled for ratification.

After some delay, however, a quorum was obtained and the House proceeded to business. The bill to provide for the establishment of new school districts, owing to the absence of mmy members, was made the special order for Thursday next at 12 o'clock. ? ? Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. LETTER FROM BLACK'S STATION. Black's Station, S. C., Dec. 8,1879. The present winter has come in as pleasantly as the past fall. The weather, so far, has been so warm as to give cause of complaint among the farmers of a loss of their pork. The unusual warmth of the season has caused vegetation to remain green at a time later than has l>een known for years. The south sloi>e of Whitaker mountain presents a springlike appearance. Some of the trees, as well as other vegetation, retain their verdure as if in the summer months. This protection given by the mountain would naturally be supposed ; but this season it is striking and adds much to its beauty. At the same time, can be seen to the north the blight of winter's blast, and to the south the verdure of spring, which, with other natural scenery that presents itself, forms a sigiit of grandeur and sublimity, and would please the eye of any one who could be attracted by the beauties of Nature and its perfection, bearing the indelible imprint of Him whose handiwork it is. Mrs. Patsy White, the wife of II. P. White, who lives near here, was found dead on last Monday. Mrs. White ate a hearty dinner the same day, and seemed tol>e in her usual health. Iler husband, who went to Whitaker's Station that evening, returned about night, and discovering that she was missing, made search and found her dead, a short distance from the house. The position of her body, when found, indicated that she fell on her face, and expired instantly. There were no marks of violence. She was about 80 years of age. On the next day, Trial Justice W. I). Camp, acting {is coroner, summoned a jury as follows : John B. Mintz, foreman; Peter Seapoch, 1). > M. Williams, F. W. Moore, W. A. Baber, J. G.Jiaber, J. II. Crawford, W. A. Bridges, Joseph Black, W. R. Lipscomb, M. L. Ross, M. F. Duncan. After giving the matter a thorough investigation, the jury rendered a verdict that the deceased came to her death from some cause or causes to the jury unknown. In examining the paj?ers of the late Win. C. Black, Esq., I have found many interesting notes and manuscripts, among them a tax receipt which reads as follows : Lincoln Countv. N. C.? 17S7.?Received of James Brown the sum of ?0?17?6, it being his Continental Tax for the year 1785, and his public and county tax' for the year 17.86. John Wilfong, Collector. A furlough for the same person, dated Fort > Charles, lGtli of June, 1782?"The bearer, James Brown, declares he had a promise from p the Colonel that after two weeks" duty at this stat ion he should have leave of absence; therefore, he has leave of absence for 20 days." Signed "Wofford," without either title or rank. Also, an oatli of allegiance, as follows : South Carolina?Camden District.?I do hereby certify that Janes Brown hath taken and subscribed the oath of allegiance and fidelity to said State; an oath to oblige every free male inhabitant above a certain age to give assurance of their allegiance and fidelity to the same, and for other purposes. Certified by me, this 20th day of November, 1779. Andrew Love. The above instruments of writing are on thick, coarse, unruled paper. The criminal proceedings before the trial justice here last Saturday were as follows : State vs. Andrew Hardin. Assault and battery. Guilty, and fined one dollar. Prosecutor?Major Ramsay. Coke Duncan appeared and gave bond for his appearance before the Circuit Court at its next term in Yorkville, for assault and battery with intent to jdll. Prosecutor?Laban Allen. ' The constable sold here last Saturday the crop of a.tenant, previously advertised foi sale on that day, under an execution for debt. This is an instance of the unjust bearing of the homestead Act, as now construed by oui Courts. It was not the intention of the framers of the Constitution, nor is the Democratic party responsible for it in any way. But as the Democrats must assume the responsibility of correcting this error, they ! should allow, through an amendment to the present Constitution, additional to the present exemption, five hundred dollars' worth of the product of the soil to the producer, or fifteen hundred dollars to be taken in whatever the person so claiming the homestead, may choose, without the possessor having any right to waive or mortgage the same. Such an enactment would prove a legacy to helpless women and children. To say anything in favor of its benefits, would be needless. No party can impair its privileges without meeting signal defeat. * The business of our town is active, as elsewhere. Simons Bros., one of the leading firms of this place, give the prices, as ranging hist week, from 11$ to 12$ for cotton; corn and peas, 75; flour, S3.25 to $3.50 per sack; bacon, 7 to 7$; coffee, 14$ to 20; sugar, 9 to 12$. Cotton is firm to-day at 12$. Dr. A. F. Hambright left this place a few days ago, to attend the Atlanta Medical College, during its winter session. Dr. Wm. A. Anderson is attending the medical lectures at Charleston. Mi's. M. R. McMaken is visiting in Charleston. Mrs. Mary Anderson is spending the winter at Eastover, Riclfland county. Within the past few days our town has been visited by Col. W. W. Gaffney, of Gaffney City; Allen G. Crosby, of Blairsville, and Dr. R. R. Darwin, of Hickory Grove. Ego. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. LETTER FROM CHESTER. Chester, S. C., December 9, 1879. We are having fine weather now, and business is lively. Our farmers are busy sowing wheat and are not visiting town, except to sell cotton and make purchases. Cotton sold last week at 12$ to 12|. On Thursday the National Bank paid out 810,000 in gold on cotton checks. Mayor J. L. Agnrs and Mr. Adam T. Walker received, last week, from Long Island, N. Y., two Jersey cows. They came by express and are fine animals. The freight on each was about 8<J0, and the whole cost of them amounted to about $250 each. : On Saturday last, two young white men from the country got into a difficulty with a notoriously bad negro of this place. The latter struck one of the young men with a heavy club, when a knife was brought into use, and the negro's coat was slashed pretty freely. All were arrested, and fined $5 each. The young man who did the cutting has the reputation of being a peaceable man. A number of our oitizens left here last week, to attend the industrial fair in Charleston. At the festival, given near Lowrysville, one night last week, for the benefit of Zion (Presbyterian) Church, forty dollars was realized from the receipts, and a very pleasant evening was enjoyed. The Sandy River Band will have a hot supper at Capers' Chapel ou the night of the 15th instant, for the purpose of raising funds to pay for their instruments. It is hoped they will succeed. The Chester Silver Cornet Band will be present, and a good time for enjoyment is ahead. The Stonewall Fire Engine Company met last Friday night, and the delinquent list was called. Members who failed to pay will be turned over to the town treasurer. The members, however, responded well. Mr. David Hemphill, who is a member of the company, and who played "Capt. Corcoran" in the Pinafore entertainments, given during fair week, tendered the sum of $160, the receipts of one evening for the benefit of the Company. "President J. L. Chambers has collected $209 from the citizens, and about $80 was in the treasury previously. A committee was appointed to procure additional hose for the engine, and an effort will be made to purchase a steamer. There are two droves of Kentucky hogs in town now.

THERE is no festival of the Christian Church, the origin of which is so well known as that of Christmas; and in all civilized countries, the annual recurrence of this day is hailed with delight and celebrated with festivities of various kinds. One manner of observing the season is derived from the customs that held in England, where, on the occasion of which we speak, the houses wero illuminated, the Yule Log was burned, the Christmas tree was erected, the dainties of the larder, and good cheer of the cellar were brought forth and enjoyed. The young were allowed to indulge in games, music and dancing, and all was "MERRY CHRISTMAS." The giving of presents or gifts, on this festal day, is an honored custom, co-equal with the time when the Magi, or wise men, brought presents of gold, frankincense and myrrh. The York Drug Store man would raise his voice against the abrogation of these ancient and revered usages?especially that of giving gifts?for he has presents, in great variety, selected by himself, especially for the Holiday trade of the town and country, and, therefore, suitable and appropriate for all ages, and all the conditions and cir cumstances that may attach to every case.
