LOCAL INTEUJ6MCE. Eomoval.?Our popular and efficient City Clerk and Treasurer, C. D. Kort jobn, Esq., has removed his office from the Young America Fire Engine Hall to the house lately bought by the City Council on Market Street, near the stables of B. Frank Slater, Esq. Ice Cream Saloon.?Mrs. T. L. Wannamaker has opened an ice cream saloon on Russ?U Street, where she will dispense ice cream, cakes, fruits, &c. Our town needs just such a place as Mrs. Wannamaker has opened, and we hope she will receive a large patronage from our citizens. Thank You?The Somter Advance pays our paper this compliment, for which we return our thanks: "Tiie Times and Democrat, published at Orangeburg. by J. L. Sims, is one of the best and spiciest weekly papers of our State, and we always read it with pleasure. Send for a specimen copy and then subscribe for it." Spring.?The editor of the Sumter Advance announces the arrival of Spring in the following fashion: ??Spring, beautiful spring has come at last. The flowers are blooming and. the birds are singing, &c, &c. We take this occasion to say that no further an nouncement of this fact will be made in these columns. Spring poets need not apply." Revival Services?Revival ser vices were commenced in the Baptist Church last Sunday evening and will be continued for two weeks. Each ser mon will be illustrated, which will make them very impressive and con vincing. We hope our Baptist breth ren will add many to their church by the meeting, and that all the churches may be benefitted by it. Personal.?We had the pleasure of meeting in town last Sunday, the Rev. W. D. Kirkland, editor of the Southern Christian Advocate. The Advocate, under Mr. Kirkland, has taken rank .with the best religious papers of the land.and we predict that under his able management it will reach a circu lation never before attained by a re ligious journal in South Carolina. Easter.?In no county in the State is Easter so universally observed as in Orangeburg, and for this reason we present this week several articles on thi3 great Christian festival. We have gone to considerable expence to appro priately illustrate these articles and we are satisfied that our efforts to please our patrons will meet with a laearty response from them. It is our object to make Tiie Times and Demo crat worthy of the patronage of the great County in whose interest, it is published. The New Cemetery.?The new cemetery has been surveyed and divided into lots by Mr. W. A. Mellichamp, and a neat picket fence is now being erect ed around it. The cemetery is admir ably located, and fills a long felt want in our community. We understand that it is the intention of the company to improve the place at once and will soon be ready to offer lots for sale. Parties desiring to purchase lots can -trnt nil , desired -infarniaiion from the Secretary and Treasurer of the com pany, Mr. P. S. Dibble. All Cash?Mr. S. R. Mellichamp, our School Commissioner, announces that the school claims of this county in future will be paid as soon as due. This announcement will be welcome news to our poorly paid public school teachers who heretofore have had to dispose of their pay certificates at a heavy discount or wait until the Fall before having them paid by the county. The School Commissioner deserves the thanks of the public for the admirable management of his office that has brought about this happy condition of affairs. _ ANOTnEK Railroad.?The Beau fort correspondent of the Augusta Chronicle says: "Beaufort is soon to have another railroad. One hundred and fifty hands are now at work grad ing the Green Pond, Walterboro and Branchville road, and as soon as the surveyors get the road located to Branchville they will return to Green Pond and survey and locate the road to Beaufort. The road will cross from the main land to the island at Port Royal ferry, thence to Beaufort?ten miles." This is news to us, and we think it is news to our Branchville friends. _ A Wonderful Paper?Our best ex change is the Graphic News of Cincin nati, acknowledged by the press to be the handsomest paper in the country, while negotiations with leading au thors, just concluded, promise to make it the most attractive in a literary sense. The latest announcement in reference to it, and one that presages much rich readiog-matter for its pat rons, is to the effect that that drollest of humorists, Bill Nye and A. C. Wheel er (Nym Crinkle), one of the most en tainiqgand pungent writers of thedav, are to be regular contributors hereafter to its columns._ Ho! for the Pic Xic?The Edisto Rifle's Pic Nie comes off on next Thursday. The committee request that all who are invited to participate in the enjoyments of the day will go to the grounds by railway as there will be ample room and it will greatly aid the Committee in meeting their ex penses. Tickets are only 25 cents for the round trip. The Company will be inspected on the same day. Baskets must be sent to the Armory as early in the morning as possible on the day of the picnic, and the Committee will sec that proper care be taken of them. The Committee would like to have baskets and dishes marked as plainly and se curely as possible. An Exciting Race.?Last Monday Chief of Police Perryclear carried Ben Jones alias Tom Johnson, a colored chicken thief of considerable celebritv, before Trial Justice I. W. Bowman, on the charge of carrying concealed weapons. While Mr. Bowman was examining the witnesses, Johnson went to the door of the office on the pretence of spitting, when he dashed o out and ran up the street as fast as he could go. He was closely pursued by the Chief and some colored men, who finally succeeded in runiiinghim down. On his return the reason he gave for his attempted escape was that he could not stand and listen to such lies as the witnesses were swearing to against aim. He was committed for trial. OUR BREVITY BASKET. Filled With Brief mention of Many Minor Events of the Week. Snakes are beginning to bloom in the spring, tra-la. The thermometer gains notoriety by degrees, so to speak. A bouquet of talent at Masonic Hall, Saturday evening, May 1st. Fabry's comet may be seen about 4 o'clock any clear morning now. Mr. A. C. Linstedt has gone into the beer bottling business in town. Some of the new straw bats for wo men are nothing if not startling. The Boston Stars carry with them a Knabe grand piano which is valued at 81,100. Our town sadly needs a more efficient mode of fire alarm than shooting off pistols. Hush money* is what the young hus band parts with for paregoric, soothing syrups, etc. The Senate has confirmed Mr. Schiffley's appointment as pos'tmaster at this place. Tim Times and Democrat does not poke a subscription at you without giving value received. Railroad tickets for the Edssto Rifles Picnic can be procured at Bull & Sco vill and Vose & Salley. Women who are worth their weight in gold, often marry men not worth their weight in pig iron. A man who thinks the world can't do without him, generally lives long enough to change his mind. The Sunnyside Cemetery Conpany meets this afternoon at the County Treasurer's office at 5 o'clock. We understand that the Baptist Sun day School proposes to go on an excur sion to Aiken at an early day. The Charleston Floral Fair opens on the 27th instant. Of course, Orange burg will send her usual delegation. Housekeepers are requested to call at Mr. P. W. Bull's store and examine the Queen Coffee Pot. a most useful inven tion. There is one consolation to the mind, of approaching summer, and that is, the tramps' will depart to parts un known. The Hub's greatest Stars at Masonic Hall, Saturday, May 1st. Doors open at half-past 8'.* Entertainment to com mence at 9 o'clock. Mr. James Raws has sold the Gaff ney Inspector to Messrs. F. M. and S. P. Britton of the Bulletin, and the former paper will be merged in the latter. C. W. Moore has retired from the editorial work on the Seneca Free Press, and Brother Carey resumes the harness which he laid aside some time since. Plant plenty of watermelons. Re member this is campaign year, and watermelons are about as cheap a thing to feed candidates on as you can find. Mr. F. H. Aull has severed his con nection with the editorial department of the Newberry News and Herald, and Mr. A. C. Jones assumes entire con trol. The stores in different towns in the State, have already inaugurated the early closing movement. We suppose our'Orangeburg merchants will soon do so. Now is the time to plantSpringadver tisements. Five, ten or fifteen dollars invested in this way would prove its virtue. Bring them in; we have plenty" of space. Mr. D. H. Marehant advertises pianos and organs for sale in this issue. Mr. Marehant is a musician himself and handles none but the best instruments. See his card. The Elliott Hook and Ladder Com pany have sold their old truck to a number of gentlemen in Bamberg, who propose to attach it to the lire depart ment of that growing town. We had a pleasant call bist Tuesday from Mr. Will A. Peairs, representing the Dr. Bosanko Medicine Company, of Piqua, Ohio, whose medicines will be found advertised in another column. A joint stock company has been form ed at Honea Path, and has bought the interest of Messrs. Gregory and Harris in the Plaindealer. The latter gentle man will start a paper at Woodruff. The practice of shooting off pistols as a fire alarm no w in vogue here should be prohibited. It is useless and danger ous. The wonder is that no one has ever been killed by the falling balls. Robert Key, an infant son of Mr. and Mrs. R. II. Riley, of Jamison, died on the 13th instant. Grieve not friends for the loss of this sweet little bud, it has only been transplanted to the realms above. No person should be allowed to leave a team standing alone or unhitched on the streets. It is a very dangerous practice, no matter how slow and gentle the horses may be. They are liable to get frightened and run away. The scientists says that the redtail, a little bird, will catch nine hundred Hies in an hour. It is not stated what base ball club the redtail has signed with, but it should have no difficulty in securing a position on one of the nines. Mr. L. G. Potter and Miss Ida Thomas were married at Spartanburg on the evening of the 7th instant. We extend our hearty congratulations to our friend Laurens, and wish him and his bride a long life of unalloyed happi ness. The Chester Bulletin has entered on its eighth year, and Brother Morgan says it is "now not only one of the established institutions * of Chaster County, but one of the best known and widely circulated newspapers in the State." The cheapest and a good and reliable weekly newspaper is the Columbia Weekly Register, price one dollar a year. Eight pages of good reading iuatter. The latest telegraphic news. Remit to the publisher. Charles A. Calvo, Jr., Columbia, S. C. Judging by the partiality shown by cigarette manufacturers on show cards for portraits of women in, as Artemus Ward terms it, the "scandalous costume of the Greek slave." one would imagine that after the fall mother Eve made garments, not of fig but tobacco leaves. The Methodist Messenger, the organ of the Northern Methodist Church in South Carolina, which has been re cently moved from Charleston to this place, made its appearance last week. If the members of this church will give it the support it deserves it can be made a success. He Cured Them.?A St. Louis County, Missouri, man gives his ex perience with the so-called hog cholera, a? follows: ''My hogs became infected through a l>oar I borrowed from a neighbor. He sickened, died and was buried. Then one after the other of my sows, shotes and pigs took sick, and not knowing what to do, I consulted my old doctor. He advised me to dig up some may_-apple roots, pokeherry and mullen roots, clean them, chop them up put them in a large kettle with plenty of water, and boil them for several hours. I gave the hogs noth ing to eat for half a day, and then gave them about a pint of the decoction in a pail of warm slops with a little bran. I repeated this three times a day for a week or longer, gradually adding more bran to slops. All recovered but one which could not be induced to drink the slops. My neighbor, of whom I had borrowed the boar, lost 40 head, and another who took a shote home from my farm where it had straggled and mixed with my hogs, lost over 20 head. Neither of them tried my remedy. I have not had a case of cholera on my place since. This remedy is so simple and has proved so effective in my case that I hope you will give it to your readers, that others may try it, and if it should prove itself to be a remedy against that fearful scourge, hog cholera, it should be made known through the whole country. Anniversary Meeting.?The seventh anniversary meeting of. the Woman's Missionary Society of St. Paul's Methodist Church was held at that church last Sunday evening. Des pite the threatening aspect of thej weather a good congregation was pre sent. The reports of the Secretary and Treasurer, which were read by the Rev. J. E. Carlisle, showed the Society to be in a most nourishing condition. After a recitation by Miss Ilattie Wanna maker, a member of the Wightman Palmetto Leaves, a juvenile mission ary societv connected with the church, ih'e Rev. *W. D. Kirkland was intiu duced as the speaker of the evening, and delivered a most masterly address on the importance of mission work generally, and woman's missionary work particularly. The address was fall of encouragement to the women of the church to persevere in the grand work of sending the Gospel to the benighted lands of heathenism, and was listened to with rapt attention by the audience. Mr. Kirkland is a forcible and eloquent speaker, and those who heard his address last Sunday night were vtell entertained. The exercises were parti cipated in by the Rev. Edwin Mulbr, Pastor of the Presbyterian Churjh who occupied a seat in the pulpit. The Feast ok the Passover.?The Jewish feast of the passover, the fist of the three great annual feasts institu ted by Moses, commemorates the de parture of the children of Israel fr?m the land of Egypt. This feast be$an last Tuesday. The orthodox Jews tad ceremonies at their homes on the ev?n ing of the 19th. At these private cere monies there was unleavened bread representing the kind of bread' tto childred of Israel ate in their haste to leave Egypt; bitter herbs, representing1 the bitterness of bondage; and a mix ture representing the mortar used to build the cities that were built for Pharoah during the time uf?7Tavery. There was also a representation of the Paschal lamb, and red wine represen ting the Red sea. This "Paschal meal" is a hallowed family feast. Orthodox Jews aro very particular about /he wine used and will take none tha; is not sealed with a seal showing thst it comes from a Jewish vineyard. Often this wine is brought from Jerusaem. For seven days after the first day ofthe feast the only bread eaten is unleaven ed bread. This bread is made in little cakes something like a large crater, and contains nothing hut water and Hour. The festival closes on the :7th instant. A Good Onk ? The following is fjom the Darlington Xews : "It is rehted that on a recent fox hunt by the Dar lington Hunters, the fox ran across a foot-log over Black Creek, foliowei1 by the dogs. A Texas pony ridden byMr. C. S. McCullough, followed walling the log as successfully. This fact in horse activity is not new. When aboy we had a pony out of a blooded aare by a mustang, which would walk any plank over (5 inches wide. Mr. 1. it Williams of Society Hill owned a back mare, which would walk over any loot log strong enough to sustain her weight. The foot-log over Blick Creek was a large, pine tree sligltly hewed on the upper side. If you do not believe it, ask Sigmond." It'must be so. Every reader of newspapers know that Editors are reliable and truthful and the editor of the'News ought not have aroused a suspicion by calling on Sigmond to prove what he says. Careless Shooting.?We clip the following from the Kingstree Star and Herald, of last week: "A sail story conies from the vicinity of Suttens, on the confines of Wiliiamsburg and Georgetown. Two men, named respec tively Lambert and Wilson, went out turkey hunting. On reaching' the hunting grounds they separated. Some time afterwards, unknowingly, they approached each other, and Lanibert, mistaking Wilson's imitation of the turkey for the bird's cry itself, and de ceived by appearances in the dim dawn light, shot at his companion fora tur key, the shot taking effect and giving a mortal wound. Wilson died in a short while, having commended his family to Lambert's 2are. The latter is said to be greatly distressed by the unfortu nate occurrece." It does seem that the frequency of such accidents as the above should make people more care ful. COMING.?The Boston Star Concert Company will make their first appear ance in our town at Masonic Hall on Saturday evening, May 1st. This com pany gives Manager DeMars a written guarantee that they will give the finest entertainment ever given in Orange burg or forfeit the entire receipts. From the flattering notices they have received from the press wherever they have appeared we think this a perfect ly safe proposition on their part. Se cure your tickets early if you want to hear some really fine music. Wanted somebody to write across the heavens in letters of gold, that Jos. Eros' Soda Water is as pure and wholesome as the best materials and long experience can make it; always drink at the most reliable place. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.

All of which is respectfully submit ted, W. T. Ligiitfoot, ) Finance Robert Copes, [ J. A. Williams, ) Committee. So ordered. The special committee appointed at the last regular meeting of Council to confer with the Board of Health in reference to Mr. Cornelson's obstruc tion in the old grave yard branch, sub mitted the following from that Board. "I consider the pond harmful to the health of the town, and have formed my opinion from the following facts: 1st, It is situated on the principal channel by which the town is drained, and acts as an impediment to the free out-How of the filth that takes this route, allowing a great deal of it to accumulate on its bottom to decompose and'pollute the surrounding ground, water and atmosphere. 2nd, The pond give3 rise to fogs and dampness, and the latter serves as a carrier of any decomposing matter that may be evolved, and adds to the injurious effects of such matter in the air. 3rd, The evaporation of the pond and ground water lowers temperature, pro duces chills, and increase the sudden and injurious changes of temperature by which health is injured. 4th, It causes a persistently high ground water?in its neighborhood? and thus favors the decomposition of organic matter in the soil, and the evolution of unhealthy effluvia." But I think It would be very unwise to run it down at this season of the year, and expose all of the accumulated filth to the heat of the comming sum mer's sun. It would not do to trouble it till next winter, unless it is filled with clay or sand alter the water is run-off. Dr. M. G. Salley, the other medical member of the Board and the under signed members agree in themain with above. W. C. Wannamaker, M. D., Chairman Board of Health. I). X. Smith, A. G. Townsend, II. Riaos, B. Williamson. After consultation the Mayor on motion appointed Aldermen Cannon. Fairey and Williams a Special Com mittee of three, to wait on Mr. Cornel son, to ascertain and report Immediate if Mr. Cornelson was willing to obli gate himself to keep the dam in proper repair during the summer months. Council then took a recess. After recess the Special Committee made the following report: That Mr. Cornelson was willing to let Council do whatever they pleased in the matter. That he had no furth er use for the dam. That he only kept the dam then; upon the advice of the medical members of the Board of Health. That be refused to obligate himself to keep the dam in repairs during the Summer. On motion the clerk was instructed to notify Mr. Cornelson to remove the obstruction at once. On motion it was ordered that the Clerk's office be removed on the 15th instant, to the building recently pur chased by Council on Market Street. On motion the Mayor, Aldermen Fairey, Lightfoot and Williams were appointed a Special Committee tu re pair the old buildings and erect stables and other buildings necessary for its immediate occupancy.

Mrs. Champy was an old resident of our town, and was well known to- our people. She leaves several sons and daughters, besides her husband, to mourn her departure. Fi ke.-The picker-room of the Orange Mills took fire last Saturday morning, and before it -was extinguished did con siderable damage to the pickers and the cotton stored in the room. If it had not been for the admirable arrange ment in the mill for extinguishing lire it would have been a serious conllagra tion. The Carolina Cultivator, in vented by Mr. Jas. II.
