The pianos manufactured by Chas. av 31. Stieff, of Baltimore, Md., are not- Se ed for their great durability, and hence are sought after by parties desiring is to prcbase a first-class instrument. w Thev are especially adapted to the Southern climate. This is the only, house that received two gold medals , at the New Orleans Exposition with it the very best reports.

H Tr- S.\r':E TIIG;>Y.-The tragedy >i Santee, published last week, is ,till a matter of conjecture. Neither )f the parties Iave yet spoken intelli 1ibly, although both are said to be -ecovering. Tarious opinions are ield as to how the affair occurred. Jne says that Rachel and Benbow vere both the victims of an attack by third party. Another, that theyl ought, inflicting the wounds (1U each >ther. In support of the last, it is aleged that the woman in her rav ngs, frequently mutters "I kill Abram Benbow) and Abram kill me." But he old theory is still held by a great nany, that disappointed in her reject on of his suit, Benkbow assaulted Rta :hel with the axe found on the scene, .nd then attempted to take his own ife. LArIL-On the affidavit of Jacob iowden, a brother of Rachel, a war ant was issued for the arrest ot tbrani Benbow. He was brought o Manning, and a preliminary held esterdav. The Trial Justice decided hold lim for trial at the next Court. yr assault and battery, with intent to ill. In the meantime, if the woman ies, he will have to answer to the harge of murder. BEAr-'FL G.m.:.-Opposite the iuis building and in open view from ie office stands the handsome flower arden of Mrs. A. Weinberg. and just eyond, appears equally attractive, frs. Levi's yard. With exceedingi tte these ladies have beautified their ards with a profusion of choice flow s and rare evergreens, until they ave become the admiration of the )wn folks. Through the window 'here we are prone toisit, the aroma -om these blooming edens, on the ings of vernal breezes, fills the office ith a perpetual fragrance. to the con ant delight of its occupaInts. CLUVEIuUs DooMED-l-The supreme ourt of Appeals of Virginia has ren red a decission in the case of J. T. luverius, convicted of the murder Fanny Lillian Madison, on March 3th, 1885. The judgment of the wer Court is sustained, and Cluveri is will be hanged unless Executive emency interposes. The way lie re ived the news is thus described: "When the action of court was niadtI iown to him he never trenibled or moved miusele, except perhaps a little twitching the facial nwrscles, aud t'is soon passed ray, giving place to that sternness and f-control which has excited so much won -r and has been a puzzle to so inany. hen he heard the words. "The decision unfavorable to you," he raised his eyes, Aich had been gazing at the floor, and, in Aar voice, said: 'I a surprised.' "Having thus far refused to 'ell the story the crime for which the courts of the mmonwealth have said tilat he must die, is vtrv likelv thmt he will still keep the ,ful secret until the last spark of hope is tinguisled.

And Mr. Editor had vou been there, your heart woukd have been puffed up with pride, at the brave appearance presented by yom gallant corps of correspondents. Oh you would have felt proud could yor have seen us-and I regretted youl absence on that score, very much in deed. I desire to extend througlb your columns, my thanks to the giv ers of the pic-nic, for an exceedingly pleasant day. We are pleased to welcome to Sam my Swamjp, Mrs. Robert Milligan, and feel assured that she will prove quite a pleasant addition to our neighbor hood. I think Mr. M. a fortunate :an, in securing unto himself such a charming companion for life. We were made to feel very uneasy on last Friday week, by the heavy blow, and began to think that a cyclone was up m us. I hear that considerable dam ,ge was done to the "Davis place," .ow occuied by Mr. Henry MiLs he has been unfortunate this spring is barn and supplies were destroyed by the recent forest fires. As I have exhausted nmy news teIs, I will tell you an incident that >ccurred with a little niece of mine. -Ier mother was telling this little irl's sister, that she feared she was 2ot quite well, and that she thought ;he would have to get her a tonic to ive her an appetite, when this little ight year old girl, whose great weak less is for canned fish, chimed in with 'Mama, you can give me some sahlon or an appetizer." She got her "ap etizer,"and I think she deserved it o.0 Your clarion notes awakened me )ccasional, for which I must thank -O, as my mental powers were be :oming quite lethargic from their long lisuse. I did not think, when I coi enced, that I could write you three ages, but I have succeeded in filling ix, though my "items" are so sadly atched and pieced up, that they are .ore like "Joseph's coat" than any bing else I can liken them to.
