I I > . - . -<|,| IUI i-_ Our neighbor forgot that last Satur day was not the 1st of April and said; "Wc now have the largest circulation of any paper in tho County."

LOOKING FOR CREDIT? Thursday last was a dreadfully dull day. Our merchants lolled about, Micawber like, looking for something to turn up to beguilo the prevailing dullness, but they locked in vain. A Iriend of ours said there was but one countryman in town that day and he was hunting for credit. HARD TO RE A T? Can any of our cxchangr-s furnish a^ seventy-two year old man who can place one of his legs behind his back and dance a jig? We have one in this County who can perform tho feat.

A gentleman under a misapprehen sion as to our town ordinances sub jected himself to a good deal of in convenience last week. Tho infor mation had reached him at bis homo tout any one who rode a stallion into town would Ire required to pay a fine often dollars. To avoid this he rode three miles around Orangeburg, on One of his stf.llions. borrowed a horse from a friend and cam i into oiir Burg, when he ascertained that hu hud been made the victim of a cruel joke. No such ordinance as the one allude! to is in existence. A GRICULT?RAL COLLEGE? We publish elsewhere a letter from '?Farmer" in relation to this Institu tion, and would say in reply to the questions of our correspondent, that wo know so little about the Agricul tural College that we feel incompe tent just now to impart the informa tion he desires. A report of the testi mony, however, taken by a Legisla tive committee, inquiring into its con dition, is in our possession, which, when we shall have examined it, may enable us to enlighten "Farmer." 'fill then he must inquire elsewhere. 110 USE JIREA KING? John Goodwyu, a colored stone cutter and ex-convict, broke into the store occupied by Mr.*S. J. Hart zog, at Bamhurg, on Wednesday night hist, and while engaged in rilling its contents wns discovered by Mr. Hart zog, who attempted to arrest him. The thief being a powerful man defied ar rest, and beat and cut both Mr. Hart zog and his daughter, in a most dan gerous manner. He then made his escape leaving father and daughter lying senseless. After this he broke into Mr. Skinner's clothingstore, and into the residence of Mr. A. (?. Tay lor, and holped himself liberally at each place. Ho was subsequently ar rested and carried to jail. His brava do and defiauco came very near causing his captors to give him a summary exit into the ether world. Col. F. F. Wnrley of Barlington, died on the 15th inst, of pneumonia at Darlington Court House. Col. War ley was ouo of ^outh Carolina's brigh cst sous, and his loss to her at this time is indeed grievous. lie was an infljential member of the bar, Presi dent of the Democratic County or ganization, uud President of the Stale Council of Friends of Temperance.

G RA yn DI\ 767 ON? On Wednesday next the Grand Division will meet at this place, and will continue in session Irom day to day until its business shall have been concluded. There will be a number of distinguished persons present, from whom several public addresses have been promised. It is thought that Gcu. J.

We hope the meet ing of the Grand Division may be pro ductive of much good, and that the delegates to it may find a hearty welcome among the hospitable homes of Orangeburg. NIG II T CO UR TING? On Monday night last a young lady and gentleman, whose names we shall designate as Theresa and Augustus, wete overheard in the following con versation while on their way home from -? Augustus. Miss Theresa, it is time now that you gave me au answer one way or the other. You have been putting me off from week to week, and I bTtve made up my mind to know my doom this night. It is not necessary for me to tell you how dearly I love you. That you know already I have been upon my good conduct how for mouths, and I think it but fair to press you to an answer; Do you love me or not V Theresa. W hy, dear Augustus, you arc the most impatient lover I ever saw. Did I not tell you some time ago that you must give mc ample time to digest the matter thoroughly ?o study my own heart closely, before asking for a decisioa ? I fear that if you urge, me to night, that my answer would not be the one you would like to hear. Augustus. Oh ! God! Miss There sa?my angel! il you will permit me to call you by that name; the polar star of my existence; the sugar and plumb pudding of this sublunary life of mine, Cnn it be possible that you would break the heart of one who wort hips you to adoration by saying that you do not 'ovo mc? After all theso weeks of love making, and sighs too deep for repression, of candy buying and Cupid dreams, will you turn mo off without the blessing of your love? I will commit suicide if you do. About this time do lovers had reached the residence of the old folks, when Theresa bado Augustus good night, with the injunction: "Go and drown thyself, youug man. You will mako a good subject for tho Coroner. You have my answer." Augustus left, but he swears to ruiu the prospects of tbat pin-back girl be fore the cud of Leap Year. EASTER SUNDAY? At the Lutheran Church left many pleasing impressions upon the large congregation of persons who were in attendance,. The day was one of the sweetest of the new Spring and every thing harmonized completely with the bright occasion. The decorations were elaborate and tastefully appropriate. The walls of the building were fes tooned with wreaths of cedar, deli cately relieved by intertwinings of roses. The pulpit recess was clad in the same bright, attractive colors. Indeed, a sweet halo of loveliness permeated the entire building, and everything seemed to lead one up ward to the life heyoud. Over the altar high up on the wall were these Biblical quotations: "I am the Ucsurrcctiou and the Lilc," and "Christ is Risen 1" The music was exceptionally good and the singing su perb. The sacrament of the Lord's Supper and Confirmation wcie admin istered. The sermon preached by Mr. Ifiiskell was full of divine truths and replete with religious instruction. Mis style and manner of delivery arc charming. There is no danger of on? wearying of the length of bis ser mons. They are interesting from beginning to end. He has noneof that ranting declamation ubout him which so frequently finds its wny into the pulpit nowadays. He clears up each pai ticular part of his argument as he goes along, and djes not leave tho task of supplying omissions with Iii? congregation. He presents the sub ject of bis discourse in a sound and logical manner, and when he has finished it, there is no confusion of ideas to vex and annoy one in re viewing it in his mind. We trust that Mr. Huskell's stay in our midst may be long and pleasant to himself, and promotive ol the best interests of his Church.
