Spring and Summer An nouncement. I assert without fear of con tradiction that I have the larg est stock of General Merchan dise kept by any Retail Store in the State, and my Spring and Summer stock is unusually large this year. I am not sellin- be low cost, but wishing to con vert this immense stock into money, I am determined to sell at the lowest figures. I invite a careful inspection of mny goods, but please remember that it is impossible in so large an estab lishinent to exhibit everythinug to public view; so ask for what you want. and ny salesmen will take great pleasure inl showing the goods. A Cordial invita tion is extended to all to visit my mammoth establishment. where they will find evervthing they require. and receive fair dealing and polite attenton. MOSES LEVI. THE MIANNING TIMES.

Pressle& Barron, Esq., has gone to Montgomery, Ala. On his return Mr. Barron will be accompanied by his father. Died Saturday, June 5th, Mrs. U. Viola Corbett, wife of Mr. B. 31. Cor bett, aged 24 years. Mrs. Corbett was the daughter of Mrs. E. G. Du Bose. Mr. W. H. Cuttino, the Clerk of the Court at Sumter, died on the 4thinst. Mr. Cuttino was an active member of the Baptist Church, conspicuous in the cause of temperance, honored and respected by his fellow citizens. Thanks, Mr. F. Levi, for the lus cious peach you gave us. Pray do so again. We pray also that your gen erous act be an example to your fel low citizens. Mrs. J. H. McFaddin consenting, the County Commissiogers have open ed the old road leading from the north prong of Black River to Midway Church. ~ A paper has been circulating among the lawyers here - recommending a Charleston lawyer for judge in the TUted States District Court, in case of a vacancy. Mr. Levi's "Bull-dog britehes" are proof against mad dogs. They are so tough no dog''s teeth could penetrate them, and as for tearing, two men could pull the legs with all their might and nothing would rip. Mr. J. St. J. Yates, the popular agent of the "Joh~n Pe'ter Richardson cigar" was in towvn last week. These cigars have a run and are as well and favorably known as the distinguished gentleman for whom they are named. We hope to see Mr. Yates again in Manning at an early day. The Columbia Rfegisfer says: "The friends of Col. Jos. H. Earle, of Sun ter, believe that he will receive the nomination of Attorney General of South Carolina." The gentleman in question ranks among the ablest law yers in the State, and his nominatior would be a credit to South Carolina. The Grove school closed for the summer season last evening, with a public calisthenic exhibition. The scholars have been taking lessons on iv a short while, but under the effi. cdent training of their mistresses, they acquitted themselves most creditably, especially when so many of them are such little wee wees. They were first carried through the wand exer cise by Miss Ingram. At the raisint of her hand all were attention, and from then to the end, with the smoothness and regularity of a pend ulum, the difficult figures were rapid ly executed 'to the time of music. Then, under the supervision of Miss Ewell, the dumb bell drill was per. formed. Flushed with excitement and the smiling applause of friends, they wen through with this-part of the manue. equally as well. At the conclusion o: the drill, the scholars enjoyed them selves in the beautiful grove frontin~t the school-house, while Miss Ewel generously entertained her friends with exquisite music. A.gentlemanu farmer of Manning boasting about his fine corn, wagerei with two young men that he couli place them in his corn field a distanc< of twenty paces apart, and neithe: could see the other. The wager was accepted and the field visited. Th< gentleman, with sublime faith in hi: corn, was satisfied a separate th< young men only eleven paces, an~ told them to look.

In a letter of the 7th, to Prof. Nettles, referring to his speech, the -Gen. says: "My sub ject will be 'The army of Northern Vir ginia-from its formation under Gen. R. E. Lee, at the close of the battle of Seven Pines to the surren der at Appamatox. An historical and, dispassionate record of its rise, prog ress and end, with passing mention of the chief leaders on both sides." Gen. Moise has -very deservedly, a wide spreed reputation, as a fluent, eloquent speaker, and we predict for his hearers, a rare literary feast. Friday evening on the invitation of the Rev. L. W. Jenkins, we were present at his school exhibition in the colored Baptist Church. The exercis es, consisting of declamations, dia logues and songs, were exceedingly entertaining. Rev. Jenkins is a good man and an excellent teacher, and he deserves the well done of of every cit izen for his humble endeavors to im prove and elevate his race. Under his instruction, his scholars have made excellent progress. Some of the recit ations would have been creditable to any institution, and the singing was grand. One song, "God is love," struck us as being as good singing as we have ever heard. I A W~Asxxo.-The Augusta Chroni cle publishes the following as a warn ing to wives who are in the habit of searching their husband's pockets: "'While Mrs. C. C. West was feeling in her husban'ds vest pocket's for a match, a rattlesnake measuring over two feet in length dropped out. The lining was torn, and it is thought that the snake was coiled under it. Colonel WVest thinks it got into his pocfet wvhile he was out fishing over two weeks ago. "-Times and Democrat FnRFUL AcCeDENT ox TfE SANEE Trsr.-Monday afternoon the news reached Manning by wire that a palt of Santee trestle had fallen in with a passenger train going north, making a complete wreck and killing a great many persons. Later it was learned that seven dead bodies had been taken from the debris, two of whom were unknown. The others are Capt. Cole, master of the line of steamers plying on the Santee River, between Charleston and Wright's Bluff, and wife, a Mrs. Miller, of Flor ence, Miss McWhite, supposed to be from Marion, and Dr. 'Kinloch, of Mar's Bluff, who is a son of the dis tinguished surgeon of Charleston, Dr. Kinloch. Though diligent in quiry was made, nothing further could be learned. No mail reached here yesterday morning, and as we go to press no positive information has been rf.ved. The employes of the road here say that thc train was composed of five cars-mail, baggage, first and second-class, and a sleeper. The trestle broke just behind the en gine, under the tender, and the engin eer seeing the condition, with light ning rapidity opened wide his throt te, and this sudden impetus to the engine, snapped it from the tender, which. plunged down in the water be low. The express, baggage, and two passenger coaches followed after it. The mail agent, Reimecker, was fear fully mangled and will die. The bag gage master miraculously escaped, and the conductor's arm was broken and head severely cut. The cars were completely demolished. The above is rumor only.

Pressley Baron, Esq., on last Thurs day, besides frightening several of our good citizens out of their wits, created a memorable sensation. The dog's name was Rover, and a very fine fel low he was too-the last dog to be accused of getting mad. But early in the morning Rover misbehaved very strangely for so good a dog. Later in the day he acted still more queerly, scaring Mrs. Barron and children awfully, and finally, to cap the climax, left home at a break-neck speed. From then his conduct was most inexcusable for a dog with so blameless a reputation. Invading Mr. Blanding Ivy's premises, he jump ed on the bed where Mrs. Ivy was, and out at the window, frightening her beyond description. Then, with out leave or license, he bounded through the dwellings of Mr. P. B. Mouzon and Dr. H. H. Huggins, act ually causing Mr. Geo. H. Huggins to drop the reins of a horse he was holding and scamper pell mell into a room, bang and bolt the door. Now Rover was surely acting very wicked ly, but had his wickedness stopped here we might have forgiven him. In stead of desisting on arriving on the street and seeing his master, whom he should have loved and honored, with bristles erect and in a manner most furious, rushed towards him. The cry of mad dog had preceded Rover, and Mr. Barron's first impulse was to gather a pailing from the fence at hand, but the fence wouldn't turn loose. Then he decided in the little time left for reflection, that on the other side of the fence would be a more commanding position from which to watch the wild circus of his favorite pet, and up he vaulted. Good heavens ! Instead of getting over he caught on top, and there he stood, im paled to the fence. Rover passed with an unearthly yell. Poor fellow ! Reason gone, frightened mad by the position of his master. Extricating himself as best he could from his ele vation, Mr. B., equipped with a heavy battering ram, followed in the wake of Rover, who now seemed bent on committing suicide. Entering Mr. Galluchat's house, he went to the kitchen and made his exit to the roof (we learn from Mr. G.) through the ilue of the cooking stove, jumping to the ground. Still bent on his own destruction, Rover next ascended the stairs leading to thme rooms over the' Bradhamn store, and sealing the top of the building occupied by S. Stern, actually sprang from that height, and by a miracle landed once more on terra finna unhurt. Now Rover's lie roic action wvas suffcient to atone for all his misdeeds, and the poor fellow thought so too, for hie tried to save himsedfl eeing from those who watdto kill him; but no, he must die. Excitement was intense. Mad dog had gone from mouth to mouth. Arms were collected-shot-guns, pis ois, small cannons, bowie kniveCs, cudgels, all were brought to kill Rover. The Manning militia were called for, and headed by Intendant Bell on a fiery charger, in blood and thunder tones were ordered "iorward." Poor Rover, wearied, footsore, with sweat pouring from him, tongue hanging out and eves red from so much run ning, did all he coul to save his life; but everywhere he turned there they were grey for his life. The brave fellow had one advantage, but it couldnt do him much good; from ev Iery road he'took the militia retreated nrecipitately. From street to street the race was run, Rover and the milI itia--once be took refuge ini :ms.j Burgess piazza, and it looked like he would hold the fort against his pusurs but the militia men, true Iand triedl, were ordered to do or dine. The strong hold was stormed, and bleeding, uying, amidst a perfect fua silade, poor Rover ran his last race. He reached the house of one, John Smith, where he was surrounded, shot, shot to nieces, and as he fell a glad hurrah proclaimed, "the dog is dead." G4ALIUo, S. C., June 4th, 18803. Mn.

There have been several very seri ous cases of sichness, but all are up, or convalescent, except Mr. James Durant, who is still in a very danger oms state of health. Marcus, the second son of Mr. El more Plowden, while climbing a fence on Tuesday morning, fell and dislocat ed one of his arms, but was soon made comfortable by Drs. Pringle and Montgomery. We are sorry to inform you that Mr. S. E. Ingram lost a horse last Sunday, and~ another sick at same time, but is now much improved. Crops! crops!! are indeed very fine; some so much so Lhat one has to take a microscopic view to know what his guano has actually done for him. And what worries us so, is, we havn't got anything to attribute our crops' size to, as we usually have. We can't say it is the drought, or grass, for -either have been excessive. I suppose that we will have to say that it is indolence-when we pre pared our lands for planting, we left it for the darkey to do, and you know the kind of beast of burden they are. I shan't say anything against them I blame myself for paying them forty cents a day when my wages were on ly thirty. You will doubtless want to know how I lived at it; well, I'll tell you-I borrowed that ten from my neighbor, and since my very credu lous neighbor didn't get his ten cents back, you bet I now only make my iving by hard strokes. -Very truly, Henry Bischoft Wholesale Grocers and DEALERS IN CAR OLLNA RICE.
