Kcnne dy and Messrs. Hodgson & Dun lap, for permission to move their stores to the lot where staqds the ruins of the Episcopal Church, ( destroyed by fire in 18G7, just below the Kershaw Houso, and a few doors below De- , Kaib street. The town has been moving northward for many years. Ever since the fire of 1829 its j progress thitherward has been more marked. ( By that fire, the greater part of the business i portion qf the town was destroyed, and in rebuilding, lots higher up the street were selected. The work of removal will be com. menced at once, as it will be the endeavor of these gentlemen to open their fall stock in ?heir new location. Look Ol*t Oxen.?Our frecdmen and ~v?v. J ^ Rev. A. K.

SUMTER. ( A colored female blaekslider from the j church, died last week for the want of at- \ tcution, it is thought. Her pastor trJercd that her body be buried with the hcud down, becanse, as he said, she was going to tho infernal regions any how, and that wa3 < the proper position. "What will the Tribune < or "Swindle" Phillips, say to this. A colored bigamist, who was snake-bitten, under the influence of fright and whiskey, j (given as an antidote,) confessed his crime, , and said that the only two sins unrepented i of, were bis having tico wives at the same.? time The Sumter Heics is responsible for this "bull." FAIRFIELD. One of tho most pftminent locals in the last Herald, inform us that a cat in that county, at one time gave birth to three kittens, and five days afterwards, to one other, "making four in all," as it says. The Her~ aid had better wait for four or five months longer, and eeo if it cannot chronicle, a further additition to this wonderful cat's family. Mr. I. T. Gladden is the proud pofcsdssOr of this femftiine feline curiosity, and invites all to the "show." This story is equal to the Sambatyonic Creek, in Chestor county^' which goes dry after sunset, and runs after sunrise. "Gladden and his Cat," or the "Herald's Lochal and his Cat," may, like Whittington, of London, become Lord Mayor of Winusboro'some day. . . Is the passion for romancing fearful developed in that Herald's neophyte who thinks to ytyddcii his readers cateoyorically in this fair jicld of journalism and kittenism (2) VfWtlPDDV ?1 r* M uciivik a.

Some of the enterprising inhabitants of this village, have been amusing themselves by shooting ft wild cat, which was carried to the Schutzenplatz in a cage and there turned loose. A splendid "Buck," Henry by name, strange to say, gagged him and brought him down at a distance of a hundred yards, 01 so, amid vociferous applause.

A most* remarkable # Tl * J rain storm Visited the city on Jriday night last. The "showdr" lasted about twelve hours or more, and over seven inches of rain fell. It had the effect of cleansing the city thoroughly. The storm was accompanied by a verf heavy wind, which blew down many trees, unrooted houses, and prevented the octJan steamers from going out and coming in/ Sullivan's Island and Mt. Pleasant were water bound, and had no communication for over a day, with the outside world. The reporters look _ upon the storm as a perfect blessing, and the papers aro filled with accounts of it.

OBITUARY. Henby C- Robbbts was born bn Um Ilills of Santee, near Statesburg, S. C., August 2t)th, 18Q5, and .married, U Miss-. Emily Thomas, of Cagpftd CyvRy> |3ai, Ifotember J26th,'-I831, and died in the town of Camden, S. C., August 8th, 1871. In early life ho was the subject of religious impression. When a young man he boarded with bis.aunt, MTSjM^bi^ a; pious rnicmber .of the 1 Methodist R. Church, - at ivheve house jie also enjoyed the pious influence of Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Bctts. Mrs. Bctts manifested a deep interest in his spiritual welfare. Her godly Counsel, coupled with her meekness and gentlcnesa^nder af- I fliction, (for she was an-invalid and ? great suf- i fercr,) impfesshdliini with tire reality and con summatc importance or religion, un one occu- > sion, while she was repeating to him the 9th verse 1 sf the 189th Psalm, he was deeply moved. These impressions assumed a definite shape during a 1 prayer meeting at his boarding house, and he then resolved to connect himself with the M. E. Church, but--for.8omecaufio'unknown to us, he did not *db so tlrth. Soon'after this' time he so entirely lost his senso of hearing as to be unable to communicate with men without artificial means; he therefore sought their society less, and the companionship,?* books more. Possessing a remarkably retentive memory, he became well informed on the subjects of general interest. In his gene.al leading he did not neglect the Bible, and he often surprised his friends with the facility with which he could quote or refer to any needed passage of scripture. Though he could not hear, yet he sometimes attended the house of God in company wjth his wife. He was remarkably reticent about himself, but some time before his last illness lie ex pressed at lcligth to his his views of the future, and assured her that he was at peace with God and man. He was a man of strong character, and was firm in all his convictions.? Though his strong will rebelled against coercion, lie could be led by. the silken thj-cad of kindness. Though he was of h Stern nature, he was susceptible of the tenderest sympathy. Ho was noted for his business integrity. In his life he commanded tho .rqppect-frad esteem of those who knew him, and .was Sincerely lamented in his death. He has left an invalid widow, whom we commend to the sympathies and prayers of his numorous friends. A. J. Stokes. .7 To Contractors.
