The Washington correspondent of the | ?.-[News and Qyurier, under date of Novem- i ?.;ber 3, says the indications are that W. .. W.

The regular Re? publicans hive opened their batteries on him, and the postmaster general has been induced to hold up the appointment. It is claimed that he cannot procure the ne? cessary bouds, besides he is said to lack the? qualifications for so important an office. It is said that lie secured the ap? pointment by represer.ting to the postof fice officials that he onld command the support of the majoiity of the leadiDg white people in Anderson and vicinity, ^-and intimated that he might have to re aign- the office before the expiration of four yearSj, aa he proposes to run for Congress at the next election.

After a lapse of several weeks we will attempt to send yon a few items of news. . . The health of our people is good at pres? ent, but we have had some cases of diph? theria among tho children of onr section. All the cases of chills and fever have recovered, or are convalescent, but the f attacks of diphtheria have generally proved fatal. . - Little Mass wain, a bright and interest little son of Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Find ley, died last Tuesday, 29th ultimo, of mem? branous croup. He had been stricken a few weeks previous with diphtheria and had about recovered when he relapsed and died .after a few-days of severe illness, aged two years, two months and eight days. The grief stricken parents have the condolence of our entire neighbor? hood extended to them in their sad be? reavement. Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin West were be? reft of a sweet babe?one year?old on last Saturday. It was sick only a few days, and died of meningitis and was interred at this place on the day following its death. Again we extend to the bereaved parents onr heartfelt sympathy. Mr. J. M. Hall, who was dangerously ill a few weeks since, has recovered his health sufficiently to be up, and is atteud ing to his business as usual again. The farmers are progressing finely in gathering their crops. Corn is turning out well, but we will have to drop down a notch or two from the first estimated yield of the cotton crop. It will not be as large as was first estimated. The ginners are kept quite busy, and are running all day and a portion of the night to keep up. Although the cotton crop will not be as large as expected, it is no unusual thing to hear some of our farmers say they will make a bale per acre the present year, which goes to show an improvement in their methods of farming over previous years. Our people continue making improve? ments upon their residences and farm buildings. Messrs. William Ransom and J. C Hamlin have just completed neat jjand substantial barns upon their farms. Mr. J. A. Gentry's two story residence is hearing completion. It is a nice and neat building and will add much to the appear? ance of his fine farm and its surroundings. Mr. S. A. Dean, one of our most success? ful farmers, contemplates adding another story and otherwise enlarging his resi? dence in the near future. The colored Methodists have their new church building nearly completed at this place. It will be plain, but neat and com? modious. Capt. William Jones continues to en? large and beautify bis already handsome residence, by the addition of verandas, porticos, ells &c. i Messrs- Ira York, R. A. Dunlap, John Beck and Albert Bowie have all built new residents the present year. The young ladies and gentlemen of this ? place and neighborhood will give a con? cert and sapper for the benefit of Cross Roads Church sometime before the??cora ing holidays. The programme will con? sist of dialogues, sentimental songs, vocal and instrumental music, which will be followed by a sumptuous supper. The entrance fee to both concert and supper will be. reasonable, and we bespeak for our young people engaged in this laudable undertaking the patronage and encour? agement of all our people, old and young. Prof. M. L. Willis has kindly consented to manage the whole affair, and a rich treat is in st?re for every one who may attend. Mr. and Mrs. G. L. McGee, of Walhalla, are visiting. relatives and friends in this, their old neighborhood. They contem? plate spending the winter with friends in Anderson ana Abbeville Counties. Mr. John Rampy, of Valdosta, Ga., spent several days recently with his kins? man, Mr. D. G. Bampy. Mr. G. W. Long, who has been in feeble health for several months, will go to Atlanta soon for medical treatment. We hope the trip and special treatment may restore him to good health again. Mr. J. C. Hamlin is making arrange? ments to move to Abbeville.C. H, where he will engage in merchandising and the livery stable business. He is well fitted to make a success in either line of business. His brother, Mr. Albert Hamlin, and Con? gressman Cothran and son, will be associa? ted with him in business. Mr. W. H. Long, who has resided upon the farm of the Hon. R. P. Clinkscales the present year, will remove his family to ' ElberS County, Ga., in a few weeks, where he will live another year. This is the eighth or tenth removal Mr. Long has [ made since the war?living in South Carolina one year and in Georgia the next. I Mr. Long is engaged in raising a large family, and' one of our old economical farmers has advised him to have a nursery cradle as a permanent fixture in either State, which will save him considerable trouble in his removals. Mr. Adolphus Jones and Miss Belle Stucfcy were united in the holy bands of wedlock last Thursday night at the home of the bride's father, Mr. J. T. Stuckey, Rev. Mr. Smart officiating. We had the pleasure of attending the reception given the happy couple, by Mr. and Mrs. J. T. C. Joneft. A large crowd of the relatives and friends of the bride and groom were pres? ent to extend congratulations and partake of the sumptuous dinner givon on the oc? casion; The geniel host and hostess also celebrated the 23rd anniversary of their marriage at the same time. The tables were laden ed with everything to tempt the appetite of an epicure, and to say that we all enjoyed the dinner would be putting it .'mildly. After the bountiful repast was over the company were further entertained by the young people, with some fine vo? cal and instrumental music. Mr. and Mrs. Jones deserve much credit and many thanks for the pleasant manner in which they entertained their guests. At a late hour we* reluctantly bid adieu to our ge? nial host and hostess, wishing them, and the young bride and groom, all the happi ness possible through life. We approve of the suggested conference of your correspondents, and will attend, if possible to do so, at the time appointed. TwiGQS, S. C, Nov. 6th, 1689. Mr. W. D. Gray had the misfortune to lose his store-room, crib and stables by fiie last night about 3 o'olock, a. m. Mr. A. C. Smith, who lives in a few hundred yards of Mr. Gray, was awakened by the roar of the fire and hastened to the scene. He first aroused the family, and then went and 1 \ turned out the stock in the stables, barely in time to save them from the flames. There was a small stock of general mer? chandise in the store room belonging to his daughter, which was consumed with the building. He also lost one hundred and twenty-five bushels of wheat, one thousand bundles of fodder, all his tools, narness and otber farming implements. Mr. Gray says his loss will -not fall short of three hundred dollars. It is not known bow the fire originated. The store, Mr. Smith says, was the first building , consumed and that the others caught fire ! from it. It is thought by some that rats had ignited matches in the store, although Miss Gray says she had no matches in the store at the time. Mr. Gray is disposed to think it was the work of incendiaries, and that the .store was robb'ed and then fired to cover up the theft. Mr. Gray, with the assistance of his neighbors, will rebuild immediately. Omega. Missionary Day at Big Creek Church. Mb. Editor : The Sunday School chil? dren and community have been looking j forward, with much anxiety, to the first I Sabbath in November, that being Mis? sionary Day. j Early in the morning the lowering clouds and descending rain promised a day of disappointment, but before 10 a. m ? the clouds had all dispersed, and the sun shone out bright and beautiful. Soon the Church was filled to its utmost capacity with pleasant faces, who had wended their way from the surrounding country to join in the exercises of the day. Upon entering the Church our atten? tion was attracted by the tasteful and beautiful decorations, and especially the arch over the pulpit with this appropriate inscription: "Give unto the Lord." The exercises were commenced by singing -"All hail the power of Jesus' name," fol? lowed by an earnest and fervent prayer by the Rev. E. W. Burts, the pastor After the reading of the lesson for the dayt other selections were read by some of the members of the school. The different classes were then called upon, and each member arose and repeated a verse. Then Mr. C. E. Horton, the Superintendent, asked a number of questions, to which the pupils of the school promptly re? sponded. Next in order was the address by Mr. J. A. McCuUougb, of Greenville, who spoke to tbe children, together with tho audience, in a most thoughtful, forcible, instructive and interesting manner; im? pressing upon tbe minds of his hearers the importance of the great work in which they are engaged. A miniature ship had been placed upon the table, and each member of the differ? ent classes' passed around and deposited their mite, after which four little girls I passed through the congregation, giving I every one an opportunity to contribute. ! The contributions amounted to $27.00. The Rev. R. W. Burts made a few short and appropriate remarks. The pro ! gramme was interspersed with excellent singing, led by Mr. R. M. Pooro. At tho \ conclusion tho Superintendent, in behalf t of the school, thanked the speaker for his kind refrrJbnse to their invitation. X. Belum Items. Since the pleasurable excitement that attends such occasions as are necessary to make happier those already happy in their prospective future, has somewhat subsided and nothing on this or any other plane is ahead to heighten the feeling, our town is relaxing to its business tenor, but none the less are congratulatory expressions showered upon the two happy couples, Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Cox, and Dr, and Mrs. W. E. Campbell. So smooth and admira? ble blending of tbe simple and the beauti? ful preparation for such occasions never fails to excite the admiration of fortunate witnesses and to impress them with the idea that those who have takeu the initial step to a new life and thoughtfully consider the fact that man's life is something more than a butterfly's flight. The young gen? tlemen are back from their tours, and are working hand to hand with their fellow workers, every well-wisher for Belton, to make Belton what it ought to be, and will be. There have been visiting here within the past week Miss Lou. McFall of Greenville, Miss Ollie Berry of Newnan, Ga., Miss Meta Brownlee of Abbeville County, Miss Minnie Blake of Greenwood, and Mr. G.P. Brownlee of Dalton, Ga. There are otbers but it has not been our pleasure to meet them. Mr. Hezekiak Rice saddened the hearts of his many friends when he boarded the train last Saturday to return to his home in Tyler, Txxas. We hope to have him return many times before the expiration of another twenty years tinea becoming a citizen of that State. Prof. H. P. Archer, superintendent of the city schools of Charleston, took a hasty glance over our town last week while he and his wife awaited tbe coming of the de? layed train that would take them home. How delightful would it be to have him spend some days here and to visit our schools. If never before, on the day that he would visit a school would tho pupils of that school hear the voice of a teacher. He knows how to teach?he doesn't merely hear recitations, but teaches. Miss Lizzie Holloway, recently of Cooper Limestone Institute, ha? arrived, and will take charge of tho Art Department in our rapidly growing Academy. Few schools in upper Carolina had equal advantages before the additions of music and painting. The teachers in these departments are of the first rank. These worthy attractions are steadily bringing in pupils, and soon tbe old school building will be outgrown. We suggest that that those who have the management of the new building press forward the work, and let us have it ready to turn over to the principal of our school by February, at latest. Don't wait for con venience, less the school be the sufferer. Dr. Manly was here last Snnday, and preached one of the best sermons we have ever beard from ? him. At the Baptist Church protracted services will be held from Friday night p-evious to his next regular day here?third Sunday. Every? body is invited and urged to attend. Kappa. Corner Item?. The report alluded to in your last paper was heard -by a number of our citizens; no one was much frightened by it, however. Quite a number have availed them? selves of the low rates to take a trip to Charleston this week. Mr. Thos. A. Sher ard took with him several of bis children. Mr. H. 0. Herrick spent last week at Cook's buying cotton. Mr. Herrick is a jolly good fellow, he kept tbe town lively with his side-splittiug anecdotes and tales. He has fallen upon quite an ingenious way of making an ox stand?ask him about it. Several of our neighbors and tenants have been drawn to Anderson this week as witnesses in Court?it is well Court comes on thrice a year. Dr. J. E. Pres8ley and wife of Davidson College, N. C, are spending some time in the Corner visiting tbe old homestead of Mrs. Pressley. We are always glad to wecome such good people among us. Dr. Pressley occupied the pulpit in Generostee Church Sabbath morning?we often hear it said tbe right man in tbe right place? if ever correctly applied, it is in this case. He was severely injured several years ago, and in consequence of it is unable to stand while 'preaching, but has a chair raised above the floor, and while he sits never tires in ministering to his hearers. We are glad this week to be able to stats that the Moffattsville school is now fully equipped for business. The services of Miss Holleman, of Walhalla, has been secured, and she is now at her post in tbe discharge of hor duties. The roll is daily added to, and there is now near sixty pu? pils in attendance. The social gathering of the young for last week was at the residence of Mr. Tho9. A. Sherard. All parties had a de? lightful time, and the wee mall hours of the night found many sleepy heads wending their way home from another candy pulling. We were shown this week a sight very unusual by Mr. C. C. Simpson?a lot of seven of the finest hogs we have seen in a long time?these seven which are being prepared for the larder will now average three hundred pounds or more. We pro? nounce him the champion hog man of the County. ? Mohawk Itfinis. As our Cray tonville correspondent who represented a portion of this section for awhile through your column* has ceased to exist, we feel like it would be no oppo? sition on your valuable and interesting '?medium of instruction" to offer a few dots, that some of your many readers may know what we art: doing in our Mo? hawk region We don't thiuk it all neo essary to state where Mobawk is. Reader, I if you are in doubt as to where this local? ity is, we can only direct you to any old standard Greek or German geography. Mr. Editor, It is not our wish to conflict with "Crate" in the least, but we simply . wish to force upon your readers the con? tents of this communication. Atlanta will have to do without a num? ber of our people who generally go to fairs and exhibitions to represent Mohawk. Mohawk is really on a boom now, and ber men are proud and anxious to see her flags of honor and independence soaring aloft in defiance of all disastrous attacks. The farmers are pushing their business through as rapidly as energy and skilled hands can well do it. Much of the late cotton has been overtaken by frost, but still there remains a vnst amount to be gathered by the weary farmer. The far? mers of Mohawk should be very thankful to the Giver of all blessings for the boun? tiful yield of their land this year. The Rev. Mr. Hays has been elected pastor of Mt. Bethel Church for tbe ensu? ing year. Nearly all the Mohawks expect to kill enough meat to supply them with bacon and pork during next year. Several have already stabbed tbe fatted calf till it bled and died. Some have killed the fatted cow, and others are going to come with a sheep. So we suppose that they will kill and swap around till every Mohawk will have sheep, calf and cow all on his own table: Gosh at the good gravy we will have! The Sabbath School at Mt. Bethel, which has for a number of years been superintended by L. M. Wilson, hasi elected R. E. Parker to superintend dur? ing the next year. Mr. Parker has been a resident of Honea Path the present year, having gone there a year ago to place his* children in the school at that place. Mr. Editor, we will be very brief this time, and not occupy so much space. In our next we will, perhaps, tell you some? thing about tbe past, present and future state of Mohawk. Hawk. In Behalf or Alliance Alan. Messrs. Editors : Will you please allow me space in your paper, ana I promise you that I will not ask it of you again unless I am forced to do so. Now, Mr. Editor, the articles over the caption of "Farmer's Son" have aroused the mind of the people to some extent, not in favor of the article or suggestion which lie heads it with, but they can't find out where he stands or what he is driving at. In his first article of Oct, 17th he wants to lay the foundation for tho whole people to stand on, and the principle upon which the platform was to be built was certainly a true and good one?"Do unto to others as you would have others do unto you." Not asking more for what you have for sale than you would be willing to pay, or do not try to get something for nothing. True motto, and happy is the man who practices it in this world or in the world to come, but, alas ! hear tbe man talk in his article of Oct. 21?"be sure and put on more bagging than the Liverpool men take off" ?have 41 lbs. of nothing to get something for. Poor fellow, he has slipped off of his own platform, which he tried to get others on?he fell from grace, ?elah. The bell which he is trying to get the horny-handed sons of toil to follow has not got the rieht sort of a tone to it; it seems like that the bell has a crack in it, and the sons of toil are afraid of anything which has a jar to It. Now, Mr. Editor, he comes out again Oct.. 31 on "competition the life of trade," con? tradicting his of the 24th October. In that article he tried to show that it was to the interest of the farmer to use jute bagging, and get 4j lbs. of something for nothing. Useless for me to quote his figures or his sayings upon this subject, as all are well acquainted with them, having read them over and over, trying to find out what he was after. Stick a big peg down here? "competition the life of trade." Now, Mr. Editor, will the "F. S." tell me and your many readers if trying to got cotton bagging to butt against the jute bagging is not com? petition what is it? And if trying to get his fellow-men to use jute bagging in tbe , place of cotton is not trying to break down competition what is it? Selah. Now. Mr. Editor, I have, tried to show "F. S." that the horny-handed sons of toil have read his articles, and have come to the conclusion that if a man would make a good leader for the people, he must prac? tice what he preaches, and let his bell have a clear, smooth ring to it, so the people will admire the sound thereof. Son of Toil. A Fine Showing. The board of penitentiary directors held a meeting at the institution yesterday morning. The report of the Superinten? dent was submitted. Among other things therein stated was that 1,842 days' labor had been furnished on the State House; that no improvements bad been made on the prison buildings for want of funds, but that a new hospital was imper? atively needed. The advisability of put? ting in electric lights was also suggested. The death of the Rev. William Martin, chaplain of the institution, was appropri? ately referred to in the report. The following figures are from the Su? perintendent's report: Total number of convicts now in prison 884?white, males 56, females 3 ; colored, males 780, females 45. Discharged and frcd by other causes, 549. The number out on farmR rre as fol? lows : Aughtry's, 38; Sim's, 22; Seeger'e, 120; State farm proper, 28 ; Walkers brickyard, 27.?Total, 235. At a meeting last night the directors decided upon their annual report and at? tended to some other matters. An application was received for a number of convicts on lease for work in the phosphate mines. This was refused, as there are at present no hands to spare. The board recommended for appoint? ment by the Governor as delegates to tbe meeting of the National Prison Associa? tion, to be held at Nashville, Tenn., on the 1Kb of this month, Major Tbos. An? derson of Fairfield and Col. John Guig nard of Aiken. la their annual report to tbe Legisla? ture tbe^ directors suggest the erection of a new hospital within the prison enclosure, and it is stated tbat tbe present hospital bas beau pronounced unsuitable and inad? equate by the cbairmau of the Medical Association. The, directors propose to build a new hospital, probably of brick. The Legislature will be asked to grant permission to the board to purchase a farm on which tbe convicts can be em? ployed, tbe cost of the farm to be paid out of the earnings of the penitentiary. It is urged that the purchase of a farm is more opportune now than ever before, as the contracts for convicts on all the plantations butone, now run on shares by the penitentiary and the owners of the land, will expire with the present year. The one plantation in which tbe contract does not expire until later is tbe Green Hill plantation of Mr. John C. Seegers. It is aUo the belief of the directors that it will be greatly to the advantage of the State to have the permanent improve? ments resulting from convict labor ex? pended upon land belonging to the State instead of private parties. Although for the first time in three years a crop has been made on certain of the land carried on by tbe State on shares, it has been but a partial crop, as there was a failure to get a good stand of cotton at tbe start and the crop is there? fore late. In spite of this the excess of the receipts over expenditures for tbe past year makes a handsome profit, esti? mated in round figures at about $35,000. The total receipts for the year have been $88,565 35, and the disbursements were $73,298 32. This shows a net profit of $15,267.02, to which should be added $6,000 paid for machinery.used in tbe work on tbe canal, etc., and a debt of $14,162.49 from last year which has been paid. This makes a grand total of profits of $35,429.51. During the five months since June 1, during which the penitentiary bas had the contract abandoned by Mr. Hardin, the earnings on canal work as figured by tbe engineers are some $21,000. The earnings of the penitentiary on the canal contract for the past month have been $5,400, which is .about $2,000 in excess of tbe earnings on tbe same work for the previous month, and yet it is stated that about one huudred less bands were em? ployed. There has been an average of 305 hands employed on the farms, 2C5 on the canal, 46 in tbe shoe factory and 108 in the bo siery mill. The crops falling to the share of the State will include about 300 bales of cot? ton, 7,000 bushels of corn and a quantity of peas, forage, etc.?Columbia Register. Dentil of Hon. J. E Calhoun. Abbeville, October 31.?Col. James Edward Calhoun died at his residence, Milwood, at ten minutes past 5 o'clock this morning, in his 94th year. His remains will be carried to Pendleton for interment. The Hon. James Edward Calhoun was one of the most remarkable men in South Carolina. Up to within a short time of his death he possessed perfect health, bis intellect was undimmed and bis memory as fresh as when in the prime of life. ' He had never used eye glasses, and read with ease by the light of an ordinary kerosene lamp. At home his favorite exercise was to mount his borse and ride over his immense estate. His career was no less remarkable than tbe wonderful preservation of his health. Mr. Calhoun was the youugest son of the distinguished lawyer, the Hon John E. Calhoun, who died in the prime of his life in 1802, and while serving a term in the United States Senate. At the death of his father Mr. Calhoun came into the possession of a large fortune, but his taste for adventure led him to seek the seas and he entered tbe navy in 1816. He was at that time the richest man in the service. His distinguished brother in-law, John C. Calhoun, was at tbat time just .entering upon a career which gave him a world-wide reputation. The young midshipman added to a handsome person and most pleasing address more than ordinary ability. He possessed especially a groat apittude for languages, and during his travels acquired a famil? iarity with over sixteen tongues. His chief object in enlisting in the na? vy was to see the world and seek adven? tures, and he lost no opportunity of throwing himself into those positions in which be could best accomplish these ends. His wealth, position, influence and ability enabled him to gratify his tastes. He joined many expeditions and visited nearly every quarter of the globe. He was with the celebrated Long expedition, which explored the great Northwest, at that time an unknown wilderness, and visited the spot where Chicago now stands long before it bad been thought of as a site lor a city. In early manhood Mr. Calhoun married a Miss Sim kins, of Edgefield, but his wife died many years ago, leaving no children. Mr. Calhoun resigned from the navy in 1833 and returned to his estates in Abbe? ville County. These consisted of several plantations situated on the Savannah River at a point then known as "Trotter's Shoals." For more than half a century he has led the life of a hermit, his time be? ing devoted to tbe building up of his es? tate, adding this year a plantation and the next year another, until at his death he was the owner of over 25,000 acres of land on both sides of the Savannah River and with a water front of over twenty-five miles. On bis estates, it is said, there is the finest water power in the South. In addition to this splendid homestead of 25,000 acres Mr. Calhoun owned over 165,000 acres of land in the mountain sections of Pickens and Osonee counties. While Mr. Calhoun has lived alone he has always taken a keen interest in pass ing events and public men and measures. In his youth he was thrown with many distinguished people, not only in this country but abroad. His recollections of such well known characters as Clay, Webster, Randolph, Jackeou and many others, and bis vivid and suggestive man? ner of talking made him one of the most interesting conversationalists in the State. ?

Arnold haa been arrested by a poitoffice inspector for a novel method of swindling. He would watch the columns of the various marriage journals, and when he saw an advertisement that suited him would write to the advertiser. His vic? tims were always men, while Arnold assumed the role of an innocent and gentle girl desirous of finding a husband. Inclosing a portrait of a handsome vo? rnan Arnold was sure to receive a reply. A correspondence would then be opened, and in a very short, time Arnold would receive a sum of money from his distant admirer, sent for the purpcee of defraying the railroad expenses ot the young girl on her trip to her admirer's home. The girl, of course, never arrived, and the would-be husband soon discovered that be had been swindled. Complaints have been pouring into the potitofhce authori ties for some months, but it was only a few dayj ago that Arnold was caught. The young man has been in Chicago for about two years and during most of the time was in charge of a soda water foun tain. Chicago, October 30.?A burglar se cured an entrance to the residence of George M. High, No. 66 Bellevue Place. Monday night, and seeing bis image in a large plate glass mirror became so badly rattled that he drew his revolver. The man in the mirror did likewise, and in a moment the burglar was blazing away with a precision that was hard on tb'e mirror. Mr. High and his family were at dinner on the floor below, and when the shooting was heard, together with the noiseof breaking glass, there was a sud dbn loss of appetite on the part of every one at the table. Mr. High grabbed a poker and headed a processiou up the stairway, and when the large rear bedroom on the second floor was reached, n othing was found but the broken mirror and an open window. By this time the whole neighborhood, one of the most fashionable on the North side, was in an uproar. Private telephones were set at work, and the East Chicago avenue patrol wagon, with a load of officers, was summoned. The arrival of the police added to the excitement, and there were rumors that a double murder had been committed. An investigation show that some one bad placed a ladder against the rear wall of Mr. High's house and had effected an entrance by forcing the window. The room door was open, and the light from the hall fell upon the mir ror in such a way as to give the impres sion that some one was approaching through the door. It was not the fault of the burglar that he did not commit murder. Middletown, N. Y., October 27.?The village of De Ruyter, on the line of the Ontario and Western Railroad, was deprived of its Sunday quiet to day by a vigorous discussion of the question, who cut off Miss Bella Still man's hair? Miss Stillman is 18, one of the belles of the village and daughter of Jesse Still" man, a merchant. Among her attrac? tions was a wealth of beautiful golden brown hair, which fell below her waist. On Saturday evening she threw a light shawl over her head and shoulders and tripped up the street to make a call. About 9 o'clock she started home. She had only about fifty yards lo go. She had tripped along perhaps half the dis? tance when suddenly some one who had approached her noiselessly from behind seized her around the neck with his arm. She fainted. She could not have remain? ed unconscious more than five minutes, but ia the meantime every lock of her hair had been shorn from her head. The hair was cut so clo6e as to leave the scalp partially exposed. .No other violence bad been attempted. She did not see her ansailant. When she reached home an alarm was raised and pretty much all the village turned out to hunt for the robber. Not a trace of him has been found, bo far. Providence, Nov. 2.?A romance in real life was made public in the divorce court to day. Mrs. Sarah J. Hopkins, a handsome woman of 24 years, obtained a legal separation from Thomas J. Hop? kins, a wealthy mill owner of ? 73, from the same Judge who three years ago made them husband and wife.. The strangest part of the case is that the wife desires no alimony. She is only anxious to get rid of her husband, and thereby bangs a tale. Three years ago Satah J. Riley wa3 the prettist girl employed at the Atlau tic Mill in Olneyviile. She was also the belle of the place, and had a long list of admirers among the young men of that end of Providence. There were also some students of Brown University who had become enamored of her. Among the well known wealthy men ofOlney ville is Thomas J. Hopkins, who is a mill owner and has a share in some of the largest corporations in the city. He became smitten with Sarah one day wheu he saw her on the way^to the mill. Hopkins waited upon her, and- marriage followed in the fall of 1887. Hopkins wanted the ceremony to be elaborate, and he employed Justice Matter.-.on of the Superior Court to tie the knot. In less than a year Sarah began to complain that her aged husband was miserly and that she did not have as much pocket money as when in the mill. Matters in this respect, pretty Sarah alleged, grew worse instead of better. Her husband bad plenty of money, but she could get none of it, 60 she sued for a divorce ab solute, and she wanted no alimony. She considered her aged husband so miserly that be ought to have it. She sought only to obtain her freedom Before Justice Matterson, the man who married her to Hopkins, she came to day and told the story of her misery. She was divorc ed and her maiden name was restored. Central, S. O, Nov. 4?A negro boy about fourteen years of age, a son of Cato Sherman, was almost instantly killed Saturday afternoon. He was hunting and climbed a tree for a squirrel and fell a sheer fall of about forty feet. Friends undertook to convey him home but he died before tbey reached there. His father was one of the famous Central "lynchers." Birmingham, Nov. 3.?Advices from Fayette Court House,-Ala., state that the people ofthat county are greatly excited over many conversions made by two Mormon elders, assisted by a handsome young female preacher. This morning a mob took the elders out, whipped and tarred and feathered them, and forced them to leave the country under the penalty of death. The female preacher could not be found. It is rumored that she ia a young man in disguise. If caught and surmises are verified a lynch? ing will be likely to occur. Lebanon, Pa., Nov. 4 ?By the break ing out of molton iron in the stack of Colebrook Furnace, No. I, this afternoon five men were killed and three b';verely burned. The men, all of whom were laborers, were overwhelmed by the rush of molton metal while at work, and some them were burned almost beyond recog? nition. The hoisting shaft of the furnace was destroved. ? Our Mr. D. A. Smith haa recently received three large photographs from Mr. Fred H. Hayselden, of Honolulu, capital of the Hawaiian or Sandwich Islands, showing three different views of the remains of the late Walter M. Gibson, Prime Minister of the Hawaiian Islands, as they lay in state at his residence in Honolulu. Appropriate honors were paid his memory by the Hawaiian Govern? ment, and the pictures shows the kahili, or plume bearers, all native Hawaiians, as they kept watch over the remains day and night for a waek. The kahilis or plumes were niado from the feathers of rare and small birds of the islands, and one of large sizo was made by her Royal Highness, Princess Lilinokolani, heir apparent to the throne, and aister of King Kalakaua. One of the pictures shows a man silling against the wall of the room, who, we are informed is Mr. Jesse Moor head, who went from Anderson county to the Sandwich Islands several years ago i with the Hon. Walter M. Gibson, when he relumed on a visit to relatives and friends living in Andeieon and Oconce couniirs ? WalhaUa Courier. ?

Washington, Nov. 1.?The following proclamation, setting apart Thursday, November 28th, as a day of national thanksgiving, was issued late this after? noon I By the President of the United States. A Proclamation. A highly favored people, mindful of their dependence on the bounty of its Divine Providence, should seek a fitting occasion to testify their gratitude and as? cribe praise to it, who is the Father of their many blessings. It behooves us, then, to look back with thankful hearts over the past year and bless God for His infinite mercy in vouchsafing to our land enduring peace; to our people, f,eedom from pestilence and famine j to v. hus? bandmen, abundant harvests, and to them that labor, recompense of their toil. Now, therefore. I, Benjamin Harrison, President of the United States of Ameri? ca, do earnestly recommend that Thurs? day, the 2Stb day of this present month of November, be set apart as ? day of na? tional thanksgiving and prayer, and that the people of our country, ceasing from the cares and labors of their working day, shall assemble in their respective places of worship, and give thaDks to God, who has prospered us in our way aud made our paths paths of peace, begging him !o bless the day to our present and future good, making it truly one of thanksgiving for each reunited home circle as for the nation at large. In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the Uni? ted States to be affixed, in the city of Washington, this 1st day of November, in the year of Our Lord, 1889, and ot tbe in? dependence of the United States tbe 114th. Benj. Harrison. ? C. W. Hammond, of Cowan Station, Ky., turned a fine blooded mare, vaiued at $500, and a large ox into the same in closure on Monday. The two animals bad been together several times before, but as soon as they entered the lot yester? day they rushed at each otber. Two or three farm hands were present and attempted to separate them, but narrowly escaped serious injury and failed in the endeavor. The mare kicked the ox in the side with both feet, nearly stunning him, but the latter recovered and gored the mare two or three times. Both fought with tbe greatest fury. The mare both kicked and bit, tearing chunks of flesh from tbe ox with her sharp teeth, while ehe in turn was racked again and again by the ox's sharp horns. Both were covered with blood, but continued tbe battle as desperately as ever, despite all tbe efforts of the men to separate them. .At last the ox plunged his horn almost entirely through the thick p irt of the mare's neck. The blow was fatal, but as the mare staggered her weight broke the ox'n horn off short, and she fell and died with it in her body. The ox was so badly kicked and bitten that he died in the afternoon. ? The Presbyterian Synod atSpartan burg closed its annual session Tuesday. Prof. Beatty of the Columbia Theological Seminary was confirmed as a professor in that institution. As he is a Canadian it was thought by many that the foreign la? bor contract law would interfere to pre? vent bis transfer from Canada to South Carolina. A warm discussion was fol? lowed by a vote confirming him. Prof. Beatty has been at the seminary one year. ? Samuel White, a life convict, of Co? lumbus, Ohio, was pardionedin May, 1871, on condition that he would abstain fxom drink for the remainder of his life. He kept the_ pledge for eighteen years, but last week, on tbe occasion of bis daughter's wedding he went off on a protracted spree, and is.now back in prison again for the rest of his life. ?
