_Xj Q O A See advertisement of money to loan . We will give full particulars of tho trial of Woodard in our next. The front yard of Mr. J. C. Pike is being laid off in tho most exquisite style. Up to yesterday afternoon the weather of this week was clear and SW 'Ct. Mr. Geo. 11. Cornclson has a new Advertisement in to day's paper. Read it. - mtm ? ??? ? Judge Andrews has moved into his new residence on the old Orauge burg road about one mile distant from Orangeburg. This week has been a busy one Court drew a gcod many persons here. Judge Heed caved on the Sher?lf question, und appointed Mr John II. Livingston to net: The sidewalks are not in a condi tion to reflect much credit anywhere. The sitie pieces have rotted in many places und should be replaced by others. Mr. Martin Thomas, at lira neb vide, can hit tho size of a ten ce ht piece with Oirifle, fifty yards, eight times out of every ten shots. Cm anybody here do better ? M r. Sehifllcy is crowded with cus tomers this fine weather wc arc hav ing. '.His time for leaving is near at band, and all who want good pictures of themselves or children should call on him immediately. Mr. Edward T Bozardt bad his name changed to K. T. Kdwins by Judge Peed duringT?ourt of the pre *ent week. Wc wish Mr. Kdwins a Jong and happy life under his new ami upbonions name. another itAMvros .i/.i.v? Mr. L\ T. K. Sliloak, Chairman County Commissioners, 1ms received a commission from Governor Hampton. Fearing that he would not be . acting legally in the discbarge of his dutic witliout a commission from the law ful Governor of the State, he applied directly after his election to Hampton and thus gave in his adhesion to the People's government. "While the lamp holds out to burn," <kc. A HELLED M"/./.Mlli? A few weeks since a strange sight was presented to a furnier living in the vicinity of Branchville in this wise : A dead pig lay in a field close by his house w hose scent attracted a very large buzzard. A little girl in pass ing had her attention drawn to the spot where the pig was by the ringing of a bell. Upon examination she dis covered lliat the bell was hung to the bird's neck. Hie repaired at once to the house and informed her father of the fact, who immediately went in quest of the novel spectacle. To his surprise he found what his daughter l.ad said to be true. The buzzard was belled, and when frightened flew ofr with the bell ringing in the air. The question is, bow did it get swung to the buzzard's neck? l v riM m. i Tins? Yesterday the case of the St a te vs. Elijah Myers, indicted for iiitimmidu ton nt the last general election was tried. 1 be prosecutor was named Vaiinker, (colored,) who swore on the Hand that the defend ant intimidated and threatened him that if bo voted for Hampton bo with a number of oilier colored men, would give him three hundred lashes. The prosccu tor staled that he wauled to voto fur Hampton because he believed his election would bring about a better government, nnd that ho was proven ted from voting as he desired by said threats and intimidation. The Judge charged the jury to the eflcctthnt the State should make out more than meto threats, and inti mated prctly strongly that the jury should tiud tho intimidtttor not guilty. And such a verdict was rcu dered! Score one for Chamberlain. brasciiville? During the week we pnid a hasty visit to this prosperous Town. The people down there arc distinguished for their sociability and intelligence. Like ever other place just now, poli tics is the uppermost subject of dis j cussion. Tilden pud Hcndricks, and Hampton and Simpson, have warm und enthusiastic admirers and sup porters at Brauchville. Every white man in that portion of our County has already paid in his contrioution to Judge Clover, Governor Hamp Ion's agent. Locally the approach ing Town election is creating a great deal of interest. There will probably be two tickets nominated, but the one headed by the Hon. W. II. Rcedish will be more then likely to win. Air. Pecd'sh although a staunch and unswerving supporter ot Governor Hampton, still retains tho confidence and respect of the colored pen pie around him, and will perhaps receive their solid vote for re-election as Intcndeut, while the majority of the whites arc sure to vote in the same direcli n. Air. Kccdish has made r. good Inloudent for years now, ha? done much for the improvement of Uranchviile, and by his late course in the stir pport of Governor Hampton, he endeared him-clf to the people < f the State, and reflected special credit up on his immediate constituents. The election will come off on Tuesday next. hoiuuni y a Si ' visa of the POST OFFICE On Saturday nig .u last, at an early hour, the Post O/Kcc was discovered to be on lire. The alarm was given and soon our gallant Firemen were at their [daces, and commenced at ouce to showver two streams upon the fire, which spread with great rapidity and fury over the building. The Firc J men worked hard, and succeeded in extinguishing the flames belore the ; building was entirely consumed. During the progress of the Area col orid man named Kdward Glover was en ugh' with the money drawer of the Post Of lice, and was arrested, but was subsequently released. Isaac Whit more met a harder fate. He was sent to Jail, and upon examination before V. S. Commissioner C. S. Hull, on Wednesday last, divulged enough to wairant Air. Pull in holding him for trial be.ore the U. S. Court. Kdward Glover t ud Harry Robert son testified separately against Whit more, and by their conflicting testi mony convinced, the Commissioner that they also had had a hand in the robbery of the Post Oflicc drawer. He thereupon issued his warrants for their arrest, and sent them along with Whitnioro to Columbia in charge of a special U. S. States Marshal. The J proof against them is pretty plain and | it is probable 'hat Ornngeburg will thus be relieved of three notorious nuisances lor some years to come. After Whitnioro found that ho was safely in the clutches of the law he intimated that he won hi at some future lime make a clean breast of the whole affair. The fire caught in the loom behind the Post Oflicc, and was undoubtedly the work of incendiaries ? perhaps x>f the same parties who robbed the Post Gflico. The damage done leaves the Post, Oflicc building an unsightly ruin, which was the property ol Judge Andrews. The Post Oi'lice scales and some money wcrcstolen, while stamps, letters, pupcrs, tfcc, suffered terribly from the combined agencies of water and fire. Mr Webster's private stock of goods were nearly all damaged, and was not insured. Judge Andrews' store, close by the Post Oflicc, was saved, but the goods were all taken out in anticipation of its burning also. Over one-third of the Judge's sto^k was stolen, upon which he had a small insuraucc. Fires hnvo been frequent here, and we are glad that for once the parties, who arc perhaps responsible for this last one, havo found themselves in the toils of the law. Commissioner Bull deserves credit for his firm and prompt conduct in the matter.
