Shade Trees.?Would it not be , well spent if the Town Council were to ( invest a little money in shade trees for ( Monument Square 7 Crowded Out.?An interesting com- ( munication from "One of the Boys" was , received too late for insertion this week It will appear in our next issue. i BaDISIIES?A friend, whose modesty forbids us to publish his name, presented this office last week with a bunch of delicious spring raJishcs, raised on his place iu Camden. , - ' | Mr. W. W. Dick, formerly o! Sumter i but uow the indefatigable representative of the popular wholesale Grocery and Liijuor house of Messrs. Wulborn & l'ieper, 1G7 and 1G9 East Bay, Charleston, S. C., was in Camden Saturday. Journalistic. ? The Lancaster Lcdycr has entered upon its twenty seventh year. \Yc congratulate our neighbor and with it increased prosper- I ity. I Stock.?A large drove of fine horses and mules arrived in Camden on Wednesday and found quartirs at Mr. Latham's stables. Low for cash is the way they arc going we believe. The liedgers ?This popular troupe was greeted with a full house on the evening of the 29th ultimo. A9 usual with them, the entertainment was highly interesting and enjoyable. Wash i noton's U i utii day.?We hope that the various military companies in the eouuty will unite in taking the necessary steps toward celebrating the 22ni of this month in an appropriate manner, in honor of the birthday of the Father of his Country. Likely.?It is more than likely that the town currency will be the issue of the next municipal campaign. Though it passes for its fare value, and it cannot be farther increased, people generally want to see it retire J and greenbacks take its place. TwEXTY-riVE Cents expended for one botlle of Shriner's Indian Vermifuge will save your child from the horrible agony of Icing eaten by worms. No COURT.?The Senate having failed to agree to the House resolutions providing for the election of Circuit Judtrcs on Friday, the 1st instant, there will be no Court here this week. Many ifw yen", prison' rs confined in jail, and i parties to civil actions are disappoin ted?some agreeably, but by fur the larger number otherwise. There being no Judge, the Clerk yesterday adjourned Court until Monday next. The K. f?. 15ani>.?Through the courtesy of Prof. McCreight, leader, we learu that the Kershaw Guards Hand has been organized with twelve inernbers. They expect to receive their instruments in a short time, and wc here express the hope that it will not he long before enlivening strains of martial music will fill the air. J'Ask your Druggist what he knows atiout the merits ol Shriner's Indian Vermifuge, the popular remedy. Pound Party.?The "Pound Party" at the residence of Dr. Hissell on Friday evening was greatly enjoyed by all the participants, and it was near the hour when the rosey dawn paints the cast with the varied colors of its magic brush before the enjoyment ended. We have no doubt that there will be many more such happy occasions. In the Wrong Direction.?No man should bo a Circuit Judge who is no?, besides possessing the highest moral character, a first-class lawyer. The services of a first-class lawyer cannot be obtained for $2,000 per annum. Therefore, the pay of Circuit Judges should not be reduced. It would bo economy in the wrong direction to do so. Undershirts ! Undershirts ! Gen*uine Bargains at H. liaruch's.? Avt Rrokk l>o\\n.?The down lrain on (he Camden Rrauch was delayed several hours yesterday morning hy the engine having givoen out at Clark.son's Turn Out. This I ranch appears to be n cognized by the South Carolina Railroad as an asylum lor its worn out rolling stock. Rkowxed.?Yesterday morning the body of Toe-tor Sand- rs, an idiotic colored uian of this community, was found iu Pino Tree Creek near the bridge at the lower end of 15road street. It is supposed tliat the unfortunate u.sn was drowned on l'riduy. in attempting to cross tho stream, which was in a swollen condition. Town Attorney?The Town Couu-; cil at at a recent meeting elected our friend and former associate, Mr. J. T. Hay, Town Attorney. It is enough to ! say that no Letter selection could have been made. Learned in the law and thoroughly conscientious, Mr. Hay will j make a most efficient and acceptable of-' licer. Steamer for Sale.?By reference! to the advertisement, it will be seen tha1 the Steamer Lillington will be sold on the 11th instant. It is hoped that she will be bought by some enterprising man, who will take the necessary steps to place her on her regular trips again. Sale, positive, and without reserve. Mothers suvc Your children freni tor-! lure and death by using Shriner's Indian' Vermifuge. It will destroy and ex]>el worms of every kind if used nccoiding to ! directions. Suggestion 11ri?e.\ted.<?Wc cannot; urge too strongly tho absolute necessity of the most perfect organization of the Democracy of Kershaw County, if wc would win the next election. And to that end. we would again suggest that every club hold a meeting before tbc working time comes, and havo the same to advertised as to secure the largest at-; tendance. We will insert such notices free of charge, A New Wav.?The latest way to keep a fellow from stealing a wife has been discovered by a colored grand latler in this county. It is to contrive to have the would-be groom indicted and put into the penitentiary. Rut the fellow has married tho drl never-, thelcss, and says that any impartial jury will find him not guilty of the charge that is brought against him. So the plan, though original, will not answer in every case. New 1'ost Route.?Through die instrumentality of Hon. John II Krins, member of Congress from this Di-trict, a new post route has been cstaLl'slied between Cauiden ami Taxaliuw. in Lancaster county, over which a weekly mail will be carrie 1. We trust that the contract will soon be taken by responsible parties, and that we may be placed in closer communication with our fellow citizens along the new route. Tun Seventh Kkesiiet.?On last Wednesday, the Watcrcc river again flooded the county in these parts, making the seventh time in a few weeks. Such an occurrence is unprecedented in the modem history of that stream. If the theory be true that those frequent overflows are caused by the embanklucutofthe Wilmington, Columbia & Augusta Railroad below here, the courts should immediately be applied to for its removal. Reti R.ninii.?A number of (lie Liberal) Kxodites from above here have repassed through Cauiden, on their return to tin ir old homes. They state that an o!J yellow u.uu came among theui, and eolleeted the money to pay their pns-agc on the "l'hantoui Ship," hut could not he found or hoard from hy them afterwards. Ilencc they used the little means that remained to them from the grand fraud to return home, sadder, if not wiser, and ready to "go cn the contract" again. Foiiki<;n Dkummeus.?The wholesale merchants of Charleston have memorialized the Legislature to impose a liccn?c tax on trading salesmen from other States. The merchants of several of our sister towns have petitioned the Legislature not to pass such a measure. We have not heard that the business men of Camden have taken any action in the matter, but we express the opinion that the benefit of this license woald he entirely with the merchants of Charleston. A i.must Imimssaulk.?The road from Cauiden to the Waterec Free Itndgc h barely passable, anu n is suggested by many persons that a new road, either above or below the present site, be opened upon higher ground, and furnished with culverts, drains &e., so that it wiil never become impassable. A gentleman from Western Wnterce, who is a friend of Camden, has told us that hundreds of bales of cotton have gone far out of the way to llidgeway and Columbia within a few weeks, and all on account of one mile of had road between Camden and the river. It would be to the interest of the town to give some attention to this matter. I A Puzzle.?A patron gives us the following puzzle, with the request tli >t we submit it to the school l>o\s for solution : "I>ivide S12 dollars between J two men so that one will have one I third the most money." Will any <?f of our young Newton's tackle it ? The New Methodist Cnuacn.? It w ill require about ?1,GOO to complete the new Methodist Church edifice?a portion of wl ich amount is now in the hands of the treasurer, and it is to be hoped that the necessary balance will be raised very soon, so that a handsome building and an ornament to Cumden i r i may ue unisiieu. Religious.?The Methodists worshipped in Town Ilall on Sunday, the council having granted litem that privilege until their new church on Lytlleton street shall be completed. The attendance was unusually large, and the pastor, Rev. John O. Wilson, pretched i most eloquent and effective sermon from Matthew, 13 chapter, 18 verse; "Hear ye, therefore, the parable of lhe j sower." New Grange, By reference to the communication of "Delegate" it will ho seen that a new Grange of Patrons; of Husbandry has been organized at Sandy Grove Church, sixteen utiles cast i of Cuittden. There is no telling lite j amount of good that may be aecom-; plished through the instrumentality of the grange, and our Sandy (Irovc trtends ; arc looking strictly to their iuterests in i?? .u?:. * Having uuu in men uuuoi* With a \iew to rendcriug tlie organ-1 ? i ization of the Democracy of Kershaw County as perfect as possible, we should be glad to puLlish the roll of nicu?bcrs of every elub in the county. It will i thus be known who are loyal to the faith. Kvcry Democrat, white or colored, should sec that his name is properly enrolled, so that it will appear upon which side he stands. Presidents and Secretaries of clubs will oblige us by j forwarding lists of members as early as | possible. CiiANciK <?k Schedule.?The new schedule of the W. C. & A. If. It. ) I which went into effect on the 27th of January, is as follows : Day Kxpress train, going north, leave Columbia at 9:30 a. in., and arrive at j Wilmington at 8.00 p. in.; going south,. leave Wilmington at 10:28 a. m , and 1 reach Columbia at G:40 p. m. Night express trains, going north, leave Co-! lutnbia at 10:50 p. tn , and reach Wilmington at 8:45 a. ui.; going south, j leave Wilmington at 7:25 p. tn., and arrive at Columbia at 3:35 a. m. Neither of the trains run on Sunday, and the Night Express stops at Sumter aud Actoo, but not at Wedgeficld. In the " Ladies Department " you will find an assortment of trimmed and untrimincd Hats, Ladies Underwear at II. Baruch's.?Avt A Graded School.?The Trustees of the free schools have rented Mount Zion College, and a graded school will be put into operation under Mr. Davis, as principal, and Misses Obear and I'laine as assistants. The carpenters are actively engaged in fitting some outbuildings in the college lot for additional class rooms, and the school will soon be i opened. This is a venture; but with the co-operation of all persons interested in education, it is hoped that it will prove a success. The high school department of Ml. Zion will be coutinuud ! scperaetc from the free schools and students in higher mnthcuiatscs, the languages and sciences, will be admitted for a small tuition fee.? Wiimsboro \ricn ami Ifiriibt. Personal ?Mr. James L. Hrasingtun. of the enterprising firm of Brasington A Nettles, was in Charleston last week. Mr. \V. F. Morrell was in Vurltvillo last wu k, whither he went for the pur pose of entering his noi Henry in King's Mountain Military School. (Icn. Coward, the principal of the institution, is one of the finest scholars, host teachers, and truest men in tho whole country and Mr. Morrcll could not have selected a hotter school for his son. Mr. II. (?. Salmond has been appoints! upon the County Board of Ivjualization, vice Mr. J. McUlair resigned* Capt. K. (K Kllerhe is in Charleston this week. One uiay safely bet that the races are going on down there. Our old aruiy friend, Will. F. Turner, Kmj.. of the house of 1>. F. Fleni iug & Co., Charleston, is visiting Camden and vicinity in the interest of his lmno> Judge Kershaw was heaiing cose-' at Chambers in Columbia the latter part of last week. Mr. L. I?.

How busily the town cow goes, for the fodder of her country foes; she I elimbs into the wagon box, regardless ' of the well-aimed rocks; ami eats her J1 fill of forage, while she wears a peace- , fnl, pensive smile. 5 An euterprising gentleman of our 1 town contemplates investing largely in the manufacture of brick during the j coming summer. He concludes from v the great scarcity of dwellings Sic., in I Camden, that there will ere long be a " strong demand for building materials. ^ For the benefit of the uninitiated, we ' wc will explain that a "Pound Party" j is somewhat similar to the "surprise j parties" so much cujoycd by our Southern young people a few years ago, the j difference being that everybody is cx- i ' pected to bring a pound of something , good to eat. It is suggostcd that the steamer Lil- I lington bo put upon the line between J Butcman's Bridge and Perkins' Hill, for1 i | the accommodation of the denizens of ij | Western Watereo during the balance of j < i the winter, or at least unm n is aster-11 i taincd definitely whether the river is in |' a chronic state of overflow. i !

Mr. Editor : I', gives mc pleasure to r omniunicatc the i'.ict that on the 81st' :lt., delegates from the Pomona Grange; rgauized a Grange at Sandy Grove j 'hureh, in the neighborhood of Tiller's 'erry, consisting of twenty-four tncni- ' icrs. wheu the following officers were IccteJ: t Shclton 11.

We found those good people assein-; ^ ileJ at the residence of Mr. S. II. Hall, 1 tin nnffimMtil.! wnntlinr myvAiilinif a r. n neeting at .Sandy (Jrove Church, which act alone exhibits their enthusiasm in he order of the Patrons of Husbandry.

The hospitality t f these poople was extended to the, lolcgatcs, and wo are only sorry that ( re could not accept it all. We did our , icst though, and visited around as much 1 is our limited time would permit. To H ill these good people we return our!* icarty thanks for their groat kinduess.

It ! vould be very gratifying to the members if Kershaw Lodge No. if the ladies of Camden would leud their aid towards rclabilitating their Lodge room. The memicrs have been scattered for nearly a year ?for the hall where they tabernacled was mrnt, and all their cherished snrroundngs were laid waste. As one of the num. >er, I cordially re iterate your assertion hat " the ladies could not contribute their i morgies in abetter cause than to as-ist in j placing this nohlr Order in a working con* | lition again.'' Kershaw Lodge, before the ! ivar, was in a very prosperous conditionnumbering nbout loO members, with funds I mificient to dispense its benefits to all who required assistance. Since its resuscitation j in 187d, it numbered about fifty brethren. Within a couple of years they had procured new regalia and all the appliances lor a successfully working Lodge. Now the Order! in Camden is in a more crippled condition tnan it ? ?? wncn n icw 01 ino niennurrn renewed active work?for now there is lack- j ing the rineics that are required for building up its waste places. That you do not over estimate the worth of the Order, when you style it "this no-j hie Order," a statement of the number of its membership, and of the benefits bestowed throughout the jurisdiction of the, United States?embracing the four qttar-*! Irrs of the globe--tuny not lie uninteresting to your readers who are outside of the Order. Being under that impression, I will, if it meets your views, furnish such a staleun til, with a sketch of the progress id the order, not only in South Carolina, once ihe burner Stale of Odd Fellowship, jbul of its success in countries beyond "old ocean's grey and melancholy rush." Yours, 15. [We shall be pleased I > publish a statement of the rise and progress of Odd Fellowship. Though not connected with Ihe order, we have witnessed its good work.- En.

Kimtob: In the forthcoming Tax Itil! provision should be ntade for the re-assess? men! of land. The present valuation is in excess of the market value, which is not appreciating. but depreciating. No speci"s of property can pay u tax excluding its income without encroaching upon the r>n/>ii* of the estate. The income from land is small, and in many instances nothing?consequently the present excessive valuation in i?;ui*rupin' mini* luxjMijtrr. llxpensos of government should bo reduced. nnd ollicial salaries equitably ndjliste<l, an 1 the number of oflicials reduced, in the actual rcipiirements of nn efficient execution ami a>lminisirittIon of the laws. J The Free School fund has been largely, and permanently increased by the hitei (' institutional Amendment. This fund should be wisely expended. The supervision of the schools as well as the disbursement of the money should be entrusted to efficient, faithful, and competent agents.' These agents should receive reasonable compensation for the time and service they necessarily devote to the proper discharge of their duties. Much depends on tlie faithful discharge of the duties of trustees in establishing schools, and employing t teachers. 1 am informed that the Trustees gel no pay for their services. This should not be the case;] we cannot expect | efficient service rendered in so important an office without remuneration. Much injury has been done by the appoint mint of incompetent trustees.

Mrs. CAROLINE ELIZABETH KELLER, in her 20tli year. Beloved in life and lamented in death, tier memory is fondly cherished by all who 1 knew her. 'Twas sad to sec her cheeks so fnir Fast fading in their bloom, While slowly spreading o'er hei face The features of the tomb. Twas sad to hear h:r plaintive voice, While struggling with her pain; And as she faintly called for help, To hoar her call in vain. 'Twas sad to 6ec her sunken cheeks, ] And hear her gurgling breath ; ? While 'round her heart the tyrant drew ( His icy chain of death. ] 'Tis sad to see around her rocm i The garments once she wore, When well within nty heart 1 know I She wants them now no more. I Oil! see the blossoms in the vase' Still on the table stand, Set there, a day or two ago, And water'd by her hand ! Where'er I walk, where'er I look, There's something sad to see; For oh ! at ev'ry step I lake, t There is a memory. ! I No lofty monument I'll raise j' To mark her little mound ; I Nor will with sculj tur'd letters praise ' The sleeper underground. I In death's cold arms her body lies, There tjuiet let it lay : i l'p to bee lied Iter spirit Hies, To bear what Ho will say. noni om iiie gunien i win uring, To mark her lowly lot. What slip ho dearly loved to spp? The sweet "Forget.tup-not." I She'll see it from her happy home, < An 1 Iote it still on high; L'pon her tonili 'twill sweetly bloom Ami blossom till 1 die. < Ah. tiieti tw.ll droop its little head, And never raise its eye, I'ntil we come ami take it up To live with lis on high. No more 'twill droop its little head, A blossom on the tomb. Hut live, (lie perfume of a thought. Forever in its ldooni. Iler spirit 'tis a living light, And marks its upward way: How beautiful and bright its path Into eternal day. S. W. K. NEW AIM MRT1SKMHNTN. Steamer tor Sale.
