Another Victim Found Amid thc Ruins -Inquest-Verdirt ol" thc Jury. When the accident at No. 241 King street occurred, Tuesday afternoon, and the victims heretofore mentioned were removed, lhere was a diversity of opinion whether or not there were others beneath the dehn*. .Some claim? ed that there were; ether? as loudly asserted the contrary. It was mentioned that a color? ed laborer named Francis Smith was missing. Some who claimed to know assorted that he was seen alive after the accident and had gone home. This statement served to satisfy nearly all; but a number of white aud colored men in? timated their disbelief ot the statement, and a few of these were in favor o? going to work to remove the mass of brick and wood. How? ever, it appears that iittie or nothing was done that uight by any one to ascertain whether or not the missing man was beneath the ruins. Early Wednesday morning, laborers commenc? ed to remove thc brick; and timber. Shortly after this work was started, it. was definitely understood that Franc'.? Smith was not to be found. ??The nn-tr.ral conclusi?n then was that he must be under the ruins, and it proved true. FINDING THE 30DV. About 9 o'clock yesterday morning. Hie body ot' Francis Smith wa? discovered near the south wall, and the remainder ol' tho rubbish which was upon it was al once removed, and Hie body taken out. and. in obedience to in stru ?tions from Coroner Whiting, carried to the home of the deceased, on Trapmann street. Near the deceased was found the fragments of a wheelbarrow. Ti'.e body was shockingly mangled, so much so as to be scarcely recog? nizable. ?... ? - IXQ^t-C As stated by.u?. the inquest upon the body of Jacob?Nelson. colored, who died from lils injuries on Tuesday night..wa? adjourned until eleven A. M. yesterday. At that hour it was held at the office of Hie coroner on Chalrns-rs street, and at Hie same tinie and place Hie In? quest upon Hie body of Smith was also held. The testimony relative to the death of both was substantially the same a? that at Hie in? quest upon the body of Joseph Perkins, pub? lished in yesterday? NEWS, excepting that it was testified that Francis Smith, just previous to the accident, was rollin? a wheelbarrow of sand into thc building, and observing that Hie wall was about to tumble, dropped his wheel? barrow and rushed towards Hie south wah, where he must have been instantly killed. ' After hearing all of the testimony the jury deliberated awhile, and found that the deceased had come to their deaths by the falling of the wails at No. 241 King street, on Tuesday last, and the Jury were of the opinion that no blame could beu'ttached to auy one. It was the opinion ol' many of our citizen?, both white and colored, that there was un? necessary delay in proceeding to n?move Hie debris when it was believed that Hiere were other victims beneath it. ft must be borne in mind, however, that the juries summoned to hold the inquests gave the whole matter a thorough Investigation, and acquit all of any blame.

TOWNSEND.-Died at Jacksonville. Florida. May 20.1570, SAMUEL J. TOWNSEND, Esq., ur Ben nettsvllle. South Carolina. The deceased was bori; In Marlboro' Uistrlct, South Carolina. In September. A. D. 183ft, heinz the fourth son of Jablsn and Elizabeth Townsend. He came of excellent parentage. Ills father and mothc;- were both noted foi superior Intelligence, good sense and virtue, and were connected with Hie best families of Marlboro'. Their children, without an exception, have given evidence of the same endowments, aud. with greater educational advantages, have made themselves useful and prominent citizens of Marlboro' and elsewhere. The subject of this sketch, in early life, evinced a thirst for knowledge, and suuered no obstacle to deter ulm from its pursr.il. By perseverance he lifted himself for college, and. in 1S47, entered that once cherished Institution or learning, the South Carolina College, then in its halcyon days, under the brilliant administration of Its able president, the Hon. winiam c. Preston. Arter diligent application, he graduated honorably In December A. D. ISSI, during which period of training he acquired!! love add habit of study, which conduced much to his subsequent distinc? tion. For a vear or twfl after graduating he devo? ted his time* to the instruction of yourh and to general st tidy, believing a reasonable time spent in the acquisition of knowledge to be highly desi? rable and essential before cutering upon lils chosen profession. Having finished this preparatory step, he re sorted to the study of the ?nw, and became an tn cessant and Indefatigable student of that profes? sion. in 1S51 he'recetved his license asa lawyer to practice In the Courts of South Carolina, and In the same year was married to Marla Louisa, daughter or thc late D. G. Joye, of Charleston. In A. D. 1857. he was chosen Commissioner in Equi? ty lor Marlboro", and rilled that important and responsible oftlce with great ability, giving gene? ral satlsffction to the public, until lSGf?. when lie voluntarily left the same, to devote himself ex elusively to the practice of law, his business hav lng greatly accumulated upon his hunds. Of his senior cotemporarles a: the Bar, some had died, others had retired to agricultural pursuits, and others, ajfaln, had been elevated to the Bench; so that he found himself left to bear thc barden of the business of the county, as the senior member of the local Bar. His position made him a gnuie and an example to his junior associates, who hail no occasion to regret lils leadership. In lS?? he was chosen by the citizens of Marl boro' to represent them in the popular branch of the General Assembly to till the unexpired term of the Hon. J. C. Weatherly, who was promoted to the State senate as successor to the Hon. W. D Johnson, then called tothechauicry bench. In this responsible position he displayed the same untir? ing Industry and zeal which characterized him in every previous station In life. He was an able, useful and faithful servant to hts constituents, and gave a good account of his stewardship. But public life lie did not court, the busluesa of a law? yer bel?g greatly more congenial to his mind. And .though afterwards excluded from political preferment by the disabling acts of Congress, yet it ls a fact well known to **ls Immediate asso? ciates, that had the way been left open to him, he would not have sought otllce agaiu at Hie hands of lils people, because of his fondness tor his pro? fession. Gladly would we, did our own limits permit, give an extended view of lils life and character, nun follow him, step by step, through a career short, eventful and brilliant; but justice to lils noble qualities of head and heart cannot be done In the brief space ora.: obituary notice. He was a ta ir fier, which ls enough to say of n man in our count ry, where? the word means more thau lu England For herc, it implies a knowledge of the common, thc civil, natural, admiralty and stat? ute laws; it means an advocate, a counsellor, at? torney, solicitor and scrivener. The breadth and depth of knowledge, the extent of reading and diversity of acquirements requisite to make a suc? cessful lawyer in this country, have always been greater than in England, where, separated Into classes, each with Its sphere well denned, thc pro? fession enjoy thc benefit of a division of labor, which brings great relief and makes success, In any one brunch, so much easier. lu the choice of'a profession, he wa3 fortunate. Possess? ing a mind strictly legal, he was devoted to his calling, and aspired to become a thoronqh la'.riier. When overtaken by disease he was rapidly realizing thc acme of lils hopes and am? bition. He was a strong advocate, wielding great influence with a Jury; but his great strength was tn his indomitable zeal, courage, tact u;id skin In the management of a cause, fron; Its ^origin to Its termination. No client ever had occasion to reproach him with neglect, lack of zea'., or want of skill In thc management of bis cause. He gave full satisfaction to thc sui'.or. Ills reputation as a lawyer was established on a ilrm foundation, and o'rdinarllv his counsel and advice was fl rat sought In ail dilllcult and Intricate causes arising in this couuty. His industry and toll became contagious, aud forced hts compeers to labor when otherwise they may have been idle. His activity of mind was too great for his deli? cate fra me, and dlsexse, aggravated by severe application, out him down tu thc prime or life, while in thc full tide of success. He was affable and polite, kind, generous and benevolent, girted with a genuine, unpretending hospitality, and a genial, social disposition. Few men had so strong a hold upon the atteetions of the people. He was really a mau lor these troublous times-bold, quick, sagacious, practical and public-spirited. But a short time ago, yielding with reluctance o the advice or physicians and rrlends, he sought relier in the mild climate and balmy atmosphere of Florida, but unfortunately too late. The sad Intelligence of hrs death has spreads gloom over our community. AU feel that a use? ful man has gone; and Hie rich, the poor, high and low, unite in expressions of sympathy with the faith ful wife, who so tenderly ministered to him in his last sutfering, and we Invoke Heaven's blessings upon her and her little ones in their be? reavement. His remains were burled In Magno? lia Cemetery, in Charleston, S. JD., May 22,1S70. Before death bc professed faith In Christ and became a member of the Presbyterian Church. May he rest in peace, reposing on tho bosom of hls'Saviour. Beunettsville, S. C., May 28, 1870. H. Special Notices. ps- NOTICE. - MECHANIC'S LYCE?

Ic should be used hy all person?, old and young. It ls not unpleasant, Ls a purely vegetable compound, ls not injurious to the most delicate constitution, and will.keep the Liver in healthy action._jnn?-i ITEREE REQUISITES OF HEALTH. If all the sickly people In the world were to take to their beds, and demand medical treatment, there would not be doctors enough to attend them, nor a sufficient number of the robust to nurse them. Three conditions are absolutely es? sential to health, viz: a good appetite, easy diges? tion, and thc ability to sleep soundly. Seven elgltthsof the many thousands whosufferfrom In? disposition, yet do not labor under serious dis? ease, complain that they "can't eat," that their stomachs are "out of order," or that they "don't sleep well." Fo.- this class or ailments few per? sons think of calling In a physician. Nor la lt ne? cessary. Inasmuch as a course or HOSTETTER'S | BITTERS will certainly relieve the derangements j ol the stomach, the liver, and thc nervous system, rrom which want or appetite, Indigestion and sleeplessness arise. This excellent vegetable tonic and corrective is also a dellghtlul anodyne. In? somnia, (or incapacity to sleep,) which has resist? ed al! thc ordinary remedies, will yield readily to a dose of this pleasant sedative taken just herore retiring to rest. In ordinary medical practice lt ls usual to give a stomachic, an ape? rient, an invlgorant, a soporific, or an antiseptic, aa the case for the time being may seem more particularly to require; but in this grand restora? tive all these medicinal properties, and many others, arc blended In due proportion. Tims the ingestion la stimulated, while the bowels are regu lated, the liver toned, the strength recruited, thc nerves calmed, (lu: iluids purified, and the circu? lation equalized. It ls believed that there is no other restorative and regulating medicine In the worm willoh acts so beneficially and agreeably upon all the assimilating, and secretive organs at thc same time; and to all who lack the three fun? damental requisites of health and enjoyment, a vigorous appetite, sound digestion and refresh? ing sleep, It is confidently recommended as a specific. jun3-0i;.'.'

We give these statements, which are authenticated by the sig? natures of men or eminent reputation, as vouch? ers for the opinions we have ventured to express on the economic Importance of the new article of diet. As to Its deliciousness, the "proof or the pudding Is in eating lt," and we reel confident, that no man or woman who ha3 once eaten of a blanc mange, pudding, custard, cream. Charlotte Russe, or any other delicacy prepared with this marine Godsend, will deny Its claim to rank among the table luxuries of the period. may30-mwf3 PAC_ ps- SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS. -TO have good, light, spongy, and at ail times swee: Bread, Biscuits, Rolls, Cakes, Ac. to have lt nu? tritious, and yet not injurious to health, ls cer? tainly a great desideratum.
