A fresh supply of good things | on hand. Remember that Tuesday, the 20th lust., i6 the last day for paying town taxes without penalty. Rain commenced on Sunday last. It was needed but not in such fittahti ties as we have bad it. The H orry -New* needs a new roller ?nd a gallon or two of printer's lye, and?an editor. The Independent Ruse Hall Club has been organised, and are ready to accept a challenge from the Edistos. Which has the most pluck ? The band wagon on the morning of the pic-nic attracted as much atten tion ?8 if it had been Old John Rob inson's. Tho Rev. A. I. Hartley will con duct services at the Baptist Church oire week from to-morrow, (4th Sunday), morning and night. The name of Rev. Thomas Phillips was accidentally omitted from the list of names on the Commit tee of arrangements for the 4th of July barbecue, published in our last issue. FOR DECEMRER? Old John Robinson's world re nowned circus will visit this place in December next. Croat additions will be added to its attractions in the meantime. m ?BBmW ? * ? mw ? - The new Court House will be suf ficiently finished to be used by the Centennial Celebration on the 4th of Jtilj*. That day piomiscs to be a glorious one for people of all ages and sizes. ' SCHOOL EXIIfillTlOX? The closing exercises of air. Hugo G. Sheridan's school will take place * on the 23d inst. Mr. Sheridan i.-?. widely known as a polished, scholarly gentleman, and his academy is one of the most flourishing in the country. FLO Uli MILL? *Bsm~' Dr. A M. Snider has begun his flour mill in St. Matthews, and is prepared to grind and bolt wheat in a manner that will give general satisfaction. We have seen some of the flour turned out by Dr. Binder's ' mill, and unhesitatingly pronounce it to be first class. RAIN, RAI.X? On Sunday last the hitherto parched up earth commenced to receive a drenching from above, and there is no telling how much longer it will continue to be "ducked,'' as the clouds to day look as general and ns anxious lo relieve themselves of water ns at any time previous. The ground wns certainly very dry before this recent wet spell, and the crops in many places were suflcring for seasons, but from what wc can hear the farmers arc willing to have a little sunshine now for a week or two. A German Singing Society was organized on 'the evening of the 15th inst., under the name of Deutscher Sacngcr liund, with the following officers: J'rcsidcnt?Goo. Bolivor. Vice-J'resident?C. F. Gehrels. Secretary and Treasurer?J. W. Cannon. THE GRANGERS? The pie-nie givcu by the Orange Organization of this County on Wednesday last was, despite the iuclemcney of the weather, a complete success. The addresses delivered by Messrs. Smcdley and Lipseomb were rcpleto with good advice to the farmers. NOTICE AM persons interested in tho organi zation of a Kiflc Club or Company arc hereby notified to attend a meet ing at Engine Hall on Tuesday even ing .June 20th, 1870; at <S:-*10 o'clock, ut which time tho adoption of a con stitution and election of officers will take place. W. K. Ckook, Secretary pro tmi. MCt'Jl 1'RAISE? Is due Mr. C. Ah I Tu rum, leader of the Orangcburg Brass Band, for his su'vicc-, grafi ivnis'y rendered, at pic nics, t&e. The music discoursed by his baud on these occasions has been one of their most charming features, i I m um's Hand has become the sine tfna noii at pic-nics, being in much lavbi with both ladies and gentlemen. Seme low bred dug, who knew that :i certain gentleman and lady were roihg to pass a particular place in St. Matthews, a few nights ago, to revenge his spite against the iornier, built up a huge obstruction in the road out of rails, which ho hoped would throw the party out of their buggy. Thanks to the fates his cowardly and diabolical plot failed to effect his purpose. - ? ? mm Cur subscribe! s who used to get their mail through the .Jericho Club have been complaining lately of not receiving their papers. We learn that tho main cause is the di.-continu ancc of the Club referred to by ihe Postmaster. Instead of the mail for that neighborhood being put, in the Jericho Club, it is, we understand, distributed generally. We hope tin*. 1'. M. will remedy the matter. .1 CO WA R D LY*0 UTRAG E? On Thursday evening about 9 o'clock, as Mr. John P?. Livingston and Mr. A. F. Browning were stand ing near the gate of Air. T. S. Mc Grew, a band of six whito men, with blackened laces, marched up and made nil assault first upon Mr. Browning, and then upon Mr. John Livingston, trying to drag the latter from his horse. A pis'ol shot from Mr. Livingston put the cowardly ru Ilia us to flight. It is hoped that the pistol shot took ellbct. The dastards were recognized and will be prosecuted in the United States Court. Prices of grain and breadstuff?, have an upward tendency in tho mar kets of England, and there are indi cations of a like movement in France and Germuhy. This is occasioned by the possibility of a war in which all the great powers will be engaged. Southern li?ssia is a vast grain depot and large quantities are sent thence each year to London and Liverpool to supply the demands of England. This is the grain that enters into com petition with like exports from the United States, and keeps down both quantity and prices. In the event of war, this supply from the Black Sea will be cut oir, Germany and Fiance will cease producing their usual quantities of grain, and the demand will press upon this country and make trade both brisk and profitable. TAXES Tim 2dth the people will meet to levy a tax for school purposes. Li t the people attend this meet ing in full and see to it that outrageous levies are not fastened upon i hcin. When the lime for the collection of taxis arrives, great many of you grumble about the amount you have to pay, and abuse and course the Legislature for making taxes so high. Now your school district tax is left entirely with you. If you want 1, 2, 3, or 10 mills you can make that levy. Our advice to the public is, attend the school district me lings, and if yon think you can gel along with a .small tax, levy if. and no more. Don't stay at homo on the 2-lth, and next year ciivse the Legislature because of high taxation. ? ? mm). ??? ? Tni - TUE IIA It RECCE? From what wc can understand the ?Ith of July barbecue by the Bcpub licans promises to be a complete suc cess. \Vo learn that there are ono or two persons who object to the celebration upon tho ground that it is to ho a political affair. Now we happen to know a little about the matter and if any such purpose entered the minds of its orignators, they kept, it a severe secret.. The object is to celebrate the Ith of duly, and we think the Republicans have as much right to tho day as any body else, and wc trust those who are op posed to tho proposed barbecue un that day will not carry theif hostility to it to that extent which will subject thorn to the suspicion that they are opposing the celebration because they were not consul ted, or made the chief cooks and bottle-washers of the day. HARD TIMES? A. lending merchant of this place sent out n number of bills for collec tion the other day, nnd was considera bly disheartened when his agent returned with only $2. This is an evidence of the exceeding hard times the country is passing through just now. In many places men are actually unable to pay their monthly grocery bills. And yet ladies will dress and dance aud fret after pin backs aud fancy huts. MURDER BY XJEKEO \VN IIANpS? Alex Harrison and Lucy Willis were married seven weeks prior to tho 10th iust. On tho evening ot tho 10th Lucy was missing; on .Sunday her body was found in Bull Swamp Creek, Klizuboth Township. Mon day morning L. A. Zeig I er, Trial Justice, acting Cot oner, summoned a jury of huptest. On Tuesday morn ing Dr. J. A Hildebrand made a post mortem examination, and an nounced that the deceased came to her death from an injury inflicted upon the windpipe by forcible com pression. The testimony before the jury elicited the following facts: That ll.c couple lived Unhappily with each other; that on Friday night Alex whipped his wife and told her be would control her or kill Ihm'; on Saturday he was plowing in a field about fitly yards from the creek, while liiicy, with a younger s' t r and her mother, were, hoeing about two hundred yards therefrom; about 1 1 o'clock the mother left to prepare dinner, telling the younger sister to hurry home as soon as she heard I be horn blow. When the loon blew the sister hurried home, Lucy telling her that she would go by the plum orchard and get some plums. The plum orchard is about 75 yards from the creek. The husband was plowing between it aud the creek. Several parties testify that they heard screams in that direction, between 12 and 1 o'clock. The husbaud reached home a-few minutes after 2. Said that he ! wns detained because be was desirious j of finishing the field?and that ho had done so, which was untrue. lie j returned to work at the same point, in the evening. Lucy was tracked from 1 where she was hoeing to the orchard. I There her hoe was found. She could I not be tracked froiii there. The tracks j of two men led from the orchard to i the creek, where the body was found. ! On Sunday morning her husband with Kllis McMichacl found the body in the creek. The ver.lict of the Coro* : cr'sjury was that the deceased came to her death by violence at the hands of some person or persons to the jury unknown. [COM M UN LCA'r Kl>.] Editor Orunyehuvy Notes ami Times : 1 see in your paper that all the merchants in the Town of Orangcburg have line and large stocks of goods on hand for sale low down for cash. There have been several pic-nics at Andrews' i hJitrap. Mat has made the pint, and the Spring Court is over; for nil there lias been a big horn bio wed, and not u word said about the planting interest or the poor far mer who has to support them all. Now J have but a very small horn, but 1 propose to toot it a time or two with the hope thai some one with a large horn will hear it and give such a idow in the interest of the farmer that it will be. beard all over the country, (but dont .all blow at ouce.) 1 will say for my neighborhood we have had fine seasous fur planting aud working on tho farm, since the lirst of April, and at this time crops are doing well and generally clean of grass pud looking line. Wo arc about done cutting Oats, and I am glad to say the Oat crop this year is a much huger one than ever before in this part of the county. Wc arc just finding a ' the value of the Oat as a crop. There is a great cry for corn and money to buy with, that is ?juite a drawback on many planters, I hope there will be more corn in lhe country next year than this. Mr. Kdit?r you must not forget to men lion that, I had the good luck to be at a little family fish-fry the other day at Slab Landing. We had plenty of very large Rook fish fried for tho whole crowd, and 1 passed the day very plcascntly indeed and till the others lhe same. 1 did not have to make the pint to get them cither. I?.
