Baruch attended him, and thinks he will

uiaidens and spoony young men to
have their fortunes told. A band of
gypsies have arrived and are camped
iust over the deDOb creek.

Pardoned.?In accordance with the
recommendations of the superintendent
and physician of the penitentiary, the
Governor has pardoned John Jackson,
of Kershaw, sentenced for larceny, ar.d
Seaborn McManus. of Lancaster, for
conspiring to murder.
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. Look out! delinquent subscribers
won't stand mncb of a chanee, and
,L in rrninf to cloBe
toe eye u? vua> -w r r ..
down on you before you are half through.
A word to the wise, &c.?Ex.
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.
No one knows who he was.
Wabp and Woof.?This the title of
a Dew and very interesting story just
commenced in the Savannah Weekly
Kexcs. 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

If, on tha beautiful morning of last ,
Thursday, a sentinel had stood upon the
top of Capt. 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. To say that the Captain was
Dgry, or that be did a little swearing,
f course bis usual amiability forbids? 1
ut we do say tbat wo would as lief aliost
to hare been half way to Hades as
} hare been the in place of that thief. ,
With that spirit which is a part and 1
arcel of John Bcrdcll's nature, he lost j
? -? t.: :j
0 time ID moving on in inn rupiu pui- <
ait of the depredator. Winding tracks,
ending here and there, a by-road now,
nd a straight one this time, was not to
elndo him, for the scoundrel he meant
> have, let come what would. Onward
nd onward he moved?first here and
ben there, until at last the track of the
ittle bine wagon in found, and although
o little brown jug was in it, as far as
re know, that trick was eno'ugh, and <
o lion on the sceot of blood ever pur* J
ued with more keenness and avidity
he path of his yictim than Oapt. Burell
did this infamous rascal, and we
ay this to his eternal honor, for if there
3 one man living who is an enemy of
uch human nature it is our esteemed
riena
At 9J o'clock he is at Albert's mill;
n boar later he is tea miles farther,
d not a great while longer the spires

man had sab by the ron'd between
his place and Columbia whodidn't know
he intense pursuer, he might have imgined
that John Gilpen himself had
eon brought to life again. He loses
o time. First, and intuitively, to the
anyard; there are the hides, "old May's"
3 recognized, tho butt horn bull's is
here too, and? "I tell you these are i
oy hides and I iDtend to have them,"
3 the stentorian voice of the Capt. The
hief, however, is hotly pursued, and it
3 not long before he i9 found in the
raters of the Oongaree attempting to
scape, but alas! too late: He is treed,
nd like uncle Tom's coon, he comes
own without even a shot being fired.
Ic surrenders. He has done his all
lis flight is ended. The wagon and
orse are retaken. The hides are idenified,
and all is lovely for Capt. John.
Ve doubt if he ever did feel much
appler, although be says that be wishes
ie had overtaken him between this and
Columbia. The villiau is incarcerated,
nd turns put to be an old bird from
he penitentiary, and bad it not been for
be indefatieablo and untiring energy
f our friend he would, perhaps, to-day
tave been basking in bis rascality; and
? ^ i.: j v
iere we aesire to correct our jneuus ui
he Register when they attempt to give
he credit to their chief of police, Mr.
ladcliffe. 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. We wonder
*** -"n" c - ?
if the old gentleman carried oat the
Christian maxim and prayed tor this
enemy ? The next time we see him we
mean to aslc him.
