k I UKAUTOIIT. S. C. JINK 8 1875. V . Last Saturday was observed as Memorial day by a few of our citizens. About ouT Uua'lrel persons visited the cemetery with their floral offerings, and decorated the graves as far as their contributions would go, but among 10.000 ^ grave* the decoration could not be very general. The only services on the occasion was a prayer by Rev. Mr. Middletou. Wo were glad to observe the absence of the fife and drum and political harangues that have trequ ently intruded upon these occasions, solely for political effect, and ' trust that hereafter memorial day may ( be Jobservod as] quietly and decently as I was last Saturduy. IBoholart.-A bold thief paid a visit to the fctore of John P. Bovce last Sundav flight. He first broke a large padlock on the back door, then pried open the door, ' breaking the lock and then had an open passage to the premises. He then broke the alarm drawer in the bar in which was about fire dollars, and then wrenched the drawer in the store from its fastenI iugs and carried away. He also opened the desk in which is kept the money and secured about fifteen dollars more, '1 refusing to touch some valuable jewelry <, that was in the desk. The thief was no doubt well acquainted with premises and knew beforehand where to look for money, as it seems that money was the only thing he was after except a drink of the best whiskey. He also carried off a school check for forty dollars. Mr. Boyce was ' asleep over the store but the thief was ,, careful not to awake him. L-> An unsuccessful attempt was also made to enter the store of John Franz e | Bamc nigbt. , . ' - On Wednesday afternoo^ ^ j(r> -fa. O Fitts, son of Mr. M. *J. a leading merchant of Alle;,ic[ale, wa8 riding along the road n?^r yjat town; an approaching storm induced him to take op behind liiro. on hj8 horse a little boy he knew, tfi*.o was plodding afoot in the same direction. As the shower came on, Mr. JLCFitts drew rein under a large oak that overshadowed the highway, and while pausing a moment for better protection from the suddenly descending rain a. flash of lightning, attracted perhaps Ig ' the steel ribs and steal handle ot the un&r brellathe young man held, struck Mr. Fittl, tbo little boy and the horse, killing the three instantly. The terrible catastrophe was witnessed by a negro Jl standing in a field not far off. The tree y'was not touched. tl The funoral of Mr. Fitts, who was law student under Joseph Irwin*, was preached isx Allendale by Be v. Mh Lawton, of the Baptist Church, Thuraday and hi* remains taken, to Angt^* and en tarred in the City Cemetery the altcmoon'oflthat day. Tjlist Wadn??ltT. u llmnarli t/> mini mm ' rate the woes of the faithful road I overseers, the sun blazed forth with all its I power, as the pilgrims to the Mecca of 'r nil their earthly nopes, labored with 11 n< gering steps apd slow up the stairs to the offiec of the commissioners, who, as usual were in their places ready to serve the just and unjust. The chairman wore I that serene and happy smile that so well becomes the aspirant for political honors, / and welcomed all with the bland manner ' that is so well known in the sage of Oaki land. After their toilsome ascent the * many roadorerseexs and constables dropi ped exhausted on the bench reserved for | their especial use and as they gazed npon I the countenance of P. P. their vi.-fons, greenbacks and county chqpks drove from their memory all remembrance of tthe sweat and toil they had endured on the publie highways. The board was engaged during the forenoon in issuing checks for school teachers, as the law now requires all claims paid out by the treasurer to be audited by the commissioners. As we entered we were surprised at the startling amy of intelligence that greeted our eyes. We noticed in the audience one Lieutenant Governor, one Member of Congress, one County Auditor _one County Treasurer one School ComMfei&aioner two Members of the LegisU Wure, three School trustees seven teachers, eleven roadoverseers, three constabh* three Merchants, one editor and oie gentleman. As the hoar of 12.m. approached mysterious envelopes were slyly handed to the clerk and as quietly slipped into a idrawer by P. P. M. D. which proved to be bids for past indebtedness Several of our townsman who were well known to T>o interested in the fond, sauntered into She room and tried to look unconcerned Is though the myrterious envelopes were not their own labored productions. Their looks, as the bids wero opened, was a , #tudy, and |many visions of greenbacks were suddenly dtspilled as some cruel bidder, hard up for cash, went a quarter of a cent lower, l'he bids aggregated $ 3678. at a discount ot about 29. cents on the dollar. The awards were as follows. 8. D. Gilbert, $72.15 f\ M. Whitman, 501.93 K. Morrison, 27.20 (John Conant, 81.' 19 -i-eorge Watcrhouse, 04 08 V.1J. French, 8.08 Froedinans Bank, 179 na J. W.

The flesh had been almost entirely torn from jjj the bones by the buzzards and dogs, bl but the body was identified by the feet di which had bean disfigured by being fro- ^ zen many yean ago. The verdict of the jury was that she came to her death by a visitation of God. There is no doubt knf ?k u wu? vuu Uiu woman in ncr waunderings I rom one place to another ha d fallen down and died from want and exposureAn cxcurtion last monday, composed of the crcvm of the colored society of Beaufort, to the fleet, was refused per- ^ mission to visit tho flagship, and were p, left to shift for themselves when on L board the monitor. As the excurtion was gotten up by a member of Congrss we are surprse at such conduct on the part of the Navy, and can cs'iy account for it on the ground of an apprehention of the dw.^er to the U. S. Navy in having Mr. Smalls editor scrutinizing tho manage ment and printing in his paper a list of tho irregularities which he would not doub) discover; and which might result " in tho demoralization of the United States in thes parts. Almost a munder.-Ashooting scrape N occurred near Hardeeville last Friday. It seems a colored man named Charles Hais visited the store of Richardson and ( Creech aud becoming noisey was turned _ out. After reaching the street Hays be- cause abusive and Mr. Creech in order to settle the difficulty shot hiui through the neck, the ball lodged in the shoulder, inflicting a dangerous wound. Ilays was brought to Beaufort and placed in the almshouse for treatment. The sheriff has gone out to arrest Mr. Creeh. The Town Council.
