Can Such Things Be??Wc understand that the gypsies have struct a streak of lock around Camden, They have more business in the fortune telling line than they can attend to. Crowds of girls, some middle-aged ladies, a number of yonng men, and even a few old men have been seen around tne camp trying to get the gyps to read the future for them. Accidentally Soot.?While loading a pistol od Monday night,Mr. J. E. Shirley was shot through the hand by the accidental discharge of the weapon. The ball passed through the palm and out at the back of the band, crossed the room and struck the sewing machine. J His little girl, who was standing and j looking at bim, narrowly escaped, as she | mAtiul Lnr nnsitinn. or it would I uau J UOb uiv \*v% MV. , have gone through her head. Fire.?On the night of the 21st instant, Major John S. Miller, living near the line of Chesterfield and Kershaw, j had his cotton house burned, together with 9 bales of cotton, 13,000 pounds of seed cotton, 13 sacks of Hour and some farm utensils that bad been stored in the building. It was the work of an inoen diary. Efforts are being made to discover who the villain is. There was . no insurance on the property. Take Warning.?It is predicted that the world will come to an end some time next month, and if some of oar delinquent subscribers don't hurry up and pay what they owe us they are going to be caught in a bad fix. But it won't be our fault, and we won't have to answer for the sins of anybody but s^-~. ourself.

On the Rampage.?On Wednesday night of last week about a dozen boys and young men wprc charging around our streets at a lively rate, yelling, firing pistols and frightening folks generally. We heard of one crowd of negroes who said they were not afraid of ,4de d?d buckra," (who were coming up the street toward them at. tho time;) and one fellow said he would die before lie d run Ahout that time the boys gave a yell and fired off a pistol. The oi<;s did not wait for any more, but concluded they had business elsewhere, and left in a \ hurry, the big talker outrunning the whole party We do not know where ^ the police were We have heard of no i Daring Theft.?As the train wag leaving Claremont on Tuesday night, last, for CamdoD, a negro rushed into the passenger ceach, grabbed a hat from a passenger's head and made his escape.

It is beautifully written and I intensely interesting, illustrative of Southern character and Southern life in town and cauntry. Subscription to the Weekly Neics one year, $2. It is the largest and best weekly published in the South, and is one of the best in the United States. Unpleasant to Anticipate.?We are told of one fellow who went down the other day to have hie fortune told, but was rather disappointed when the oracle was read. Ho was told, among other things, that though prosperous and successful iu business matters now, reverses would soon come, and that he would become poor. In endeavoring to recover his lost fortunes he would be tempted to commit burglary, for which he would be caught and sent to the penitentiary for at leat ten years. A Lunatic.?On last Thursday Mr. Joseph Goff was brought to town and carried before Trial Justice DePass for him to appoint a committee of physicians to inquire into the sanity of the prisoner. Drs. DeSaussure and Burnet examined him and pronounced him insane. On Friday his brother, Mr. W. W. Goff, took him over to Columbia to have him placed in the asymm Mr. Goff was the person who shot Mr. Sutton last fall, an*! since that time his miod has been so worried about it that 1 he went crazj. Mr. Sutton has recovered fronrlm wounds. A New Literary Magazine?The Dollar Magazine of current foreign literature, is announced by the American Bonk Exchange, 55, Beekman street, New York, the first number to appear January 15th. It will be similar in character to the well known Littles Liv ing Age and Eclectic Magaxiue, containing in a year's numbers about one-third as much matter as the former, and about four-fifths an much as the latter. Monthly, 128 pages, $1.00 a year. Specimen numbers sent for six cents postage. Declined.?A week ago we acknowledged the receipt of a communication from Col. Segars, and expected to publish the same in this issue, but since that time we have read the article, and with great deference to our friend, Col. S., we are forced to decline the same. No one regrets more than wo do the Colonel's departure. We have always bad a great liking for him as our friend, and no one would rejoice to serve him more than ourselves, but we do not propssc to become a party to personal controversies. We earnestly hope that prosperity may attend our absent friend. Badly Managed.?It was ascertained on Saturday night that Harry Ourcton, who escaped from jail on last Friday night, was at his home, and an attempt was made to capture him, but the bungling wanner in which they went at it. gave him the alarm, and he made his escape by tbe back door Sevoral shots wore fired after him, but none itook effect, though policeman Carter, who was dose behind him, came near being hit by the flying balls, and had to stop the pursuit for lear or oeing nit, i otherwise it is probable that Harry j would have been captured. A reward is offered for his arrest and return to jail. Didn't Like to Shoot.?We understand that a certain oolored man in town last week fancied that his honor was compromised by some remarks of a certain other colored individual, and nothing would appease bis wounded feolings but a resort to the code?Hike de white gem'ens." He accordingly sent a challenge to the offender, but that darkey did not like "de buckra's" way of doing things, and said he would "knock it oat, bite it out, or butt it out, but nary a shoot it out" for him. Bullets wero not healthy for him at this season of the year. We have not yet learned whether the challenger has accepted the other fellow's terms, or not. Thief at Large ?On Wednesday of last week three men from Union County, N. C., were in Camden looking for Belden Boykin, colored, who entered Mr. Huntley's house, in that ennntv. a short time aince, while the men - J1 were absent, and nearly frightened the ladies out nf their wits, after which h? proceeded to help himself to whatever he wanted, and admonished tho ladies to keep quiet, or he would''put their lights out." He took a doub!e-barrel-d shotgnn, a silver watch, some mgney, boots, clothing, etc., and left. He was tracked in the direction Camden, but Flat Rock was the last placo that they heard of him. Fie sold the gun to Mr. Fred. Stephenson, of Flat Rock. Fifteen dollars reward is offered for his 'capture. He has quite a number of ' aliuBttt. Broke Jail ?On lael Friday night Harry Cureton, awiting trial for bnr_i? ?j t;? T ;-:i J giarj, UUU O I Ul U BUJCTy 1U JttU 1UI ooouuh j and battery, took an old case knife, j which they had secreted, and removed some brick in the wall on the north side of the jail, and succeeded in making their escape. Another fellow attempted to get out through the hole, but the jailor heard the noise and got out in time to persuade him, with the aid of > an old musket, to go back, which ho ' did in doubleqoick time?the jailor ' firing one shot over his head and ' frightening him nearly out of his wits. | The jail is in a very unsafe condition, ' and the sheriff says he is unable to get 1 money to repair it. The county com* * missioners would do well to look into I the matter and sec if the fault cannot ' be remedied. F ? y A Neglected Law.?There is a T power tested in the Intendent of Cam- c den, and in every Trial Justice, to im? 8 pose a fine upon every person who shall swear or curse in their presence, the t proceeds to go to the support of the n poor. The fines are to vary with the f) condition of the person committing the n offense ; every servant, day laborer, or g common seaman is to* be fined tweBty- p five cents, and every other person fifty h cents. For the second offenso the fine j| will be doubled, and for the third it will a be trebled. o And the further provision is made b by law, that if the Intendent or any q Trial Justice shall willfully and witting- t< ly omit the performance af his duty nn der this act he Bball forfeit twenty-five p dollars. n This is not an obsolete law, though s it originated a long timo ago. it was b originally enacted, in substance, in 1712, a but was re-enacted . in 1872, since*the d creation of the office of Trial Justices, t< having been in force all the time.?Ex. a tl BREVITIES. ]j Court convenes in Camden next n Monday.

Burdell's outer dwelling and said; ''Watchman, what of the night ?" and if truth had responded to his call, it would have been, "All things ire crooked, and the devil is to pay ;eneral!y," So it was, for as the Capt. trose from his peaceful slumbers and legan to take his accustomed round, he loon found that the hand of the thief lad laid its hold upon what he had no ight to, and that ho was no longer in jossession of sundry and divers articles rhich were his on the preceding night cbcn quietly he laid aside his boots aud lothing to surrender himself to tho weet embrace ot Morpheus. The little lue wagon was no loDger in the yard, he cowhides which had rested for 1 months in the loft had passed away, and )dder, hay &n., as if on a spree, did ot occupy their accustomed places, luch was the phasing spectacle that resented itself to our friend when first e rubbed his eyes and took his morn* ig look.

It was, as we have stated, lue to Oapt. Burdell, and no one else. In this connection, too, we will not fail o notice the fact that Justice Marshall equired of Oapt. Burdell a bond of ?500 for the prosecution of the caso. This strikes us very tnuoh .as being}ound up with a deal of red tapo, and iltbough there was no difficulty in the Capt. giving it, still we can see no reasons for suoh exactions, unless we take a miscropic view of such things as some of our trial justices often do. This fellow seems to have Leen a bold thief. He was riding a stolen horse, he takes Capt. Burdell's wagon; then goes on to Mr. Truesdel's and steals his bridle and saddle, and not having any respect for one of God's ministers, he steals the goods of our aged and venerable friend, Mr. McGraw. in the way of .'pnrincr nxle prease. &o.
