The long talked of new book introduced by Rose E. Cleveland is being published by the J. L. Hebert Pnb. Co., St. Louis, Mo. The reputation of Miss Rose Cleveland as a writer is such as to guarantee a large sale for anything coming from her pen. The Publishers offer a rare opportunity -to Agents. See advertisement in another col umn. We are thinking seriously of enlarging the TDIrs to eight pages, but it takes nmon iv to do it. If our subscription and adver ti'sing patronage increases much more, we will, before this month is out, publish a pa per the size of the Xins andt Courn-r, and as good as we can get out. Give us a little encouragement. and we will do our best in giving a good paper. At the entertainment at Panola last week, the receipts were $69.'76: as follows: from the door, $31.90 ; from oysters, $15.30 : *from cake, S11.51 ; and from fruit, $10.05. One half the receipts from the door was given to Rev. Mr. Kershaw for the Darling ~ton Episcopal church. The aicultural meeting was not held last Modyon account of the inclement The store being erected by our enterpris ing merchant, Mr. S. A. Rligby, and to be occupied by Mrs. Brown a.s a millinery and mnantuamaking establis.hment, is nearing compiletion, and will be opened about the middle of this moanth. Mrs. Brown will ~keep besides mrillinery a full line of ladies' dress goods, trimmings, &c., and as she is a lady of rare taste, and experienced in select ing such goods, the public may rest assured they will be ple ased with her stock. Sev eral competent dress makers have been en gaged to assist her, and ladies will find it to their advantage to give their orders at an early date. This is something Manning bas long needed. and we wish the new store much success. We were much pleased recently with our visit to the fashionable and exquisitely ar ranged store of Mr. M1. Levi. We were shown through his eskablishment by one of his polite and effcient clerks. Our space *will not admit..of chronicling near all we saw, but we will notice a fewa imnportant ar ticles which we are sure will be interesting to the ladies, Our attention was partier larly directed to their beautifuliline of Toile du Nord ginghms which are woven in hair strips, invisible checks, and are used im -combination-suits with pinin ginghiam to match. 'Their seersuckers, mulls, and lawns, etc.. are the newest styles an d are offered very low, It is impossible to place their line of laces and embroideries' so that they, will all be seen, but we assure all that their stock of torchon, oriental. Egyptian, and silk laces, swiss and mull embroideries, is com plete. We arc sure the ladies who have not seen their elegant hand embroidered cashmere scarfs have missedi a treat. Theyj are in black, white, and all cobr.:, and are selling rapidly. Miles and abbs's import ed undressed kid gloves are beauties, and are in all sizes. Ha~ndkerchiefs, both p;:1 and embroidered, are as cheap as can be bought in Charleston. We will have to stop here, but we will say to the ladies, just give Mr. Levi a call, and one of his clerks, or perhaps the obliging proprietor himself, will take great pleasure in show ing' you their new goods of which we basie onliy mentioned a few. Read the local notices of F. Levi, on fourth page, and the comnmunica tion under the caption of News from Sumter. Buist's garden seeds, all guavanteed to be fresh, for sale at Dr. Nettles's Drug Store, in Foreston, at two pa pers for five cents. - The Sumter W'vehman says Mr. W. A. Pringle, JTr., from Charleston has been elected cashier of the Simonds National Bank in place of Capt. J. M. Carson, deceased, and Mr. W. F. Rhame has been elected bookeeper in place of Mr. Anthony White, Jr., reigned. A dwelling house in Sumter, own ed by Dr. China, and occupied by Mr. 'H. C. Moses, was burned last Sunday morning. The house was insured for $1,500, which will about cover the loss. Joe Baker, an unmarried man, and Mrs. Sarah Fann, a married woman, both white, were convicted at the last Sumter court, of adultery, and sen tenced to an imprisonment of six months in the county jail, or to pay a fine of $100 each. Mrs. Edwards's is among the most popular places in town. Whenever the children have a nickel, they go to Mrs Edwards's to spend it, as she al ways has on hand a full supply of nice fresh fruit, candy, cakes, etc., and al ways give them so much for a nickel. And for the same reason everybody likes to trade with Mrs. Edwards. Her groceries, vegetables, and other goods are of the best the market af fords. The same horse that we mentioned last week as having run away twice in the same day, had a little circus performance all by himself last Thurs day night. Mr. Legg had been driving him to a sulky, when by some means he got away from Mr. Legg, and started on a full run for his own amusement. H1e ran up Brooks street, passed the livery stable, and in attempting to go around the Court House .square,. he made a miscalcu lation, and left the sulky and a lamp .post to sigh and groan over tieir mu tual mishap. He then finished his run around the square, and wound up his performance by runing . tluee times around the square on which Levi's mammoth store stands. In one of his rpns, he took the pave ment, and a gentleman and lady who were passing that way, quickly gave way for him, themselves hiding be hind a tree till the horse got by. It was a dangerous run. About eight o'clock at night, dark and cloudy, and a number of pedestrians on the street, some serious damage might have re sulted. A fire at Winnsboro, March 2nd, destroyed the livery stable and store of W. Dotty & Co., loss $15,000, unin sured ; H. M.

Fonssrox, March 5.-Stealing seems to be the order of the day just now. Since the breaking of Mr. J. A. Mont gomery's smoke-house and the depot at this place, Mr. J. A. Montgomuery has been robbed of all his bedding, cooking utensils, etc. A search war-1 rant was issued yesterdaiy against eer tain parties suspected, and it is boped and believed that the guilty will be overaken and brought to justice. Our worthy Sheriffand Mr. A. Levi, of your town, were here last week on proessional business. M. J. 0. Ladd, of the Wor'le and Bdge;, was in town a few days ago. and succeeded in securing au? :ent' and correspondent for his papers. Mr. Witherspoon, of the Ed -qy, was also in town this week, in the in terest of his paper. Our town election will be held on March 13th, inst. Candidates a'-e as thick as bees, and there is no ti-ouble! to get apint of pinders or a glass of cider. F. Foreston Farming and Pciitics. For.aros, March .-Our town is still moving on, keeping pace withx eldr portions of the county. The e is considerable activity in the way oi' small improvements, which is an ;ndi cation that the people are prosperi'. There is a large amount ofpe aen improvements in farming in this vicin ity. Many acres of lands are being. cleared. and a large amount of d'tcih ing has been done on farms, which will make them yield more abundant Our town election for Intendent and four wardens comes off on the 13th inst., and we anticipate a lively time. The old board, I think, de clines re-election, leaving the field open to other aspirants. I hear that the man who holds all the other offic-. es except Intendent, wants that. He is as great an aspirant for office as D. C. Corban was in Radical times. He wants them all. If no one else comes out that the people want, there will be a dark horse brought out on' the nmorning of election, as the people bik he has all thatae is entitled to. pposition is the life of track. Miss Fannie Pack. EDITOR TIMEs :-Will you please allow me space in your paper to say a word or two about my pleasant trip to Aiken, Williston, Blackville, Barn well, Elko, and Edgefield. I met with kind noble hearts at the places mentioned, and was right successful in my entertainments. They would give me work to do on Sundays, playing the crgan for church and Sunday- school. I do not believe in persons .itting idle. I agree with poor Richard : "God helps those who help themselves." I expect to visit your town on the 13th March, for the purpose of giving an entertainment on that night. I ash you to use your influence in my behalf. Would be glad for a crowded house, as it has been nearly four years since I gave one at the county seat of my beloved old Claren don of which I am a native. I will return to Rev. S. M. Richardson's, at Timmonsville, in May, to continue my music and elocution. Tours very respectfully, FANNIE E. PACK. News from Sumter. Sumter, Feb. 24.-Last fall your advertising agent visited Sumter in the interest of THE MANNING Tiws. Very soon afterwards one entire si le of your valuable journal was filed with the advertisements of Sumter merchants. We don't pretend to say why it was, but it is nevertheless a fact that Sumter's Clarendon trade swelled to larger proportions in less than two months afterwards, than it ever was before, and her trade from that sec tion of country, we honestly believe, was doubled during the last cotton season. Indeed some of us learned that it pays to advertise, and have not the merchants of Manning learned it too*? Let's see. Who is it that is now selling more goods than any other merchant in Sumter? Where is it that the people, from the most fash ionable and fastidious down to the little school girl, is rushing day by day that they may make their selec tions from the largest and best ass ort ed stock of spring goods ever brought to this market? Don't be surprised when we tell you Mr. F. Levi, the son of Clarendon's prince merchant, is the man, and Bogan's old stand on -lain Street in Sumter is the place. Mr. Levi met with a warm reception here, and he demonstrates an eye to busi ness in employing Sumter clerks. Ir respective o.f cost, he picked from the numerous stores of the city the clerks best calculated to handle each line of merchandise, and ti:e C ons!equence is, his store is crowded from morning till night with the patrous of [is em plovees as well as is friends from Clarendon. Such men are bonud to succeed, and will prosper wherei er they go. Sumter looks for the old Prince next, for he cannot content himself to remain in as dull a town as Manning must be now, since her en ergetic young men are leaving. Come on, Sumter will receive all such men with open arms, and give them busi ness too. L Sensations in Ch-a;Ieston. CHAIILFstoN, March 3.-This entire community is much incensed over a most dtiabolical attempt to defraud "The United States Mutual Accident Association" and the "Traders' and Travelers' Accident Company," of New York, just unearthed by Pinkerton detectives. Thomas Bond, son of Dr. J. H. L'ond, of this city, was the agent of these two companies here. Altho the agents are instructed to in - sure no negroes, in October last Bond took risks for $5,000 in each company on the life of a mulatto man by the name of Joseph B. Dudley. About a week ago a woman purporting to be Mary Dudley, the wife of Jos. B. Dud ley, turned over to Hon. Geo. Lamb Buist, the two policies issued by Bond to Dudley, for collection, saying that her husband was dead, and produced the necessary documents to verify her statement. The demaud for payment followed, and the companies suspect ing that something was wrong, dis patched two detectives, one a negro, to fcrret the matter out. They ascer tained that the body of the man claimed to have been Dudley was that of a black negro, andi Cor onor DeVeaux had it exhumed, sup posing some innocent person had been the victim of foul play. Upon' examination the corpse proved to be that of a Simon pure African, while Jos. B. Dudley is known to be a mu latto. Mary Dudley, and Bond, the isurance agent, have shaken Charles ton dust from their feet, and gone to parts uuknown. Dr. Kiuloch testified before the jury of inquest yesterday, and stated that the disiniterred body had a deep gash on tne back of the neck, wvhich it is supposed caused the deth of the man. Tame negro detect ive proved to be an expert sten ographer, and thne coroner engaged him to take the evidence of the wit nesses. At the close of Dr. Kinlochm's test mony the stenographer was taken suddenly ill, and the proceedings nec essarily closed. Investigat ions were r-esmed this morning with the detect ive stenographer to his post. Should i find it to the interest of the insur ane companies to post pone the pro-, ceedings, of course he will hatve an other attack at the oppor-tune mo ment. I shall report the resolt to our next edition. P. G. Langley, a large merchant on King Street, is accused of administer ing medicine to one of his lady~ em plyes, and taking undue advantage of her while under its influence. The accused is a imian of about fifty years of age, with a highly respected fami ly, while his victim was a bright and beautiful lass of about eighteen sum mers. The crime is alleged to have been committed last May. There was no publicity given the matter, howvev er, until about three weeks ago, when the policeman delivered to the city hospital a cherry chub of a baby boy, world of shame. The officer claimed at first to have found the child in a gutter, but it turns out that he was paid by Langley to take the child from the residence of its mother to the hospital. The father of the un fortunate girl is poor and nearly blind, but an intelligent gentleman. The conduct of the man who invaded his home and ruined his precious child is condemned by every one. The poor girl is barely alive and in sensible, which prevents a warrant being issued for want of an affidavit, she being the only one in this case capable of making it. .The young woman is a recent graduate of Mem minger High School. Below is a copy of a letter sent by her father to Langley: "Phil Langley,- Sir: I have the most abundant, the most convincing, proofs that everything stated in my letter yesterday is true, and your de nying'it is simply another phase of your black-hearted villainy. I do not wish to see you nor have an interview with you. for after looking at my ruin ed, injured, and disgraced Minnie, and her heartbroken mother, the sight of your face would drive me wild, and either or both of us would never see another sun rise." SErIT EUT MAT. [Poor Minnie Teppe died,last Sun day. How sad ! and yet, her charac ter blasted by some fiendish villain, to die was best for her. Our corres pondent will conclude the chapter next week.] Rosin Hill Dots. Rosix HILL, March 5.-Dear TDIEs: -We nwake you our new year's bow and 'congratulate you on. your good fortune in again falling into'the hands of an able and experienced quill driv er. One of our most popular and charmiug little maidens, Miss Caro 3elser, of .Suinmerton, assisted by her many lady friends. gave a leap year paty at the handsome residence of her kind and hospitable patrents, on the 29th ultiino. The feminine grace and beauty of Sommerton, Pa nola, and Pack:;ville, (for widch Clar endon is especially noted,) were here combined and supported by the most charming and fasciniting Misses Ba ker and Spann, from Sumter, and Demorest, of New York. Mr. Editor, if you have never at tended a genuine leap-year party, our advise to Mrs. Editor is, to never al low you to attend one-- at least not in Sumnierton, or you will, no doubt, for the first time in your life expe rience.the 1pleasait chafing of your matrinial yoke. Our esteemed old friend, James Douglas Deas, of Cam den, cerhtinly reigned as belle of the evening, but ; N-./t' 2e(h u'? !/r',e. The sweetest music we ever heird was the silvery voice of Miss S-,a sweet six teen, who shyly approached us and said, Will you please give me this waltz? For a moment we were com pletely nonplused, the world swam in a sea of molasses candy ! After our swoon, we found ourself threading the mazes of theC waltz, in possession of the fair "Haidee" "Whose hair we~P dark brown, but her eyes Were black as jet. Their lashes the same hue, Of down-cast length, in whose shadow lies Dcepest attractionl !" We were next approached by Miss B-, who as modestly and charmingly asked for a quadrille, followed by the bewitching Misses R-- and H-, who asked for waltzes, etc. We felt to them so grateful that, overjoyed, we almost exclaimed: "Grace in all your steps, heaven in your eye; in every gesture, dignity and love." Bat this would have been considered imperti nent taffy at a leap-year dance. Our hearts now had become so intoxi cated with its leap year nectar, that the remainder of the evening passed like a dream. Have a faint recollec tion of being led by one of the fairest of our fair enchantresses into an adja cent room, where sweet and enjoyable refreshments were being served from a large center table, by fairy-like1 maidens, who seemed to expect a fel low, already gorged on sweetness, to eat everything sweet that was handed him. We were next led captive by our same charming escort into the fascinating mazes of the "German," where our old heart ebbed and flow ed the remainder of the evening, in accordance to our slights and com pliments. The many exquisitely beautiful and attractive costumes of the ladies de serve special mention, but space nor time will permit. The entertainment advertised for the Panola Academy list Friday eve ning was indeed a rare triat to a large and appreciative audience. As your esteemed old veteran correspondent "Tomn" was there, we will only skim the surface. The exercises opened with inutrumental and vocal music (piano and violins), by Mrs. Deas, of Camden, Mrs Jno. C. Manning, and Messrs. H. B. and R. C. Richardson, of Fulton; 2nd-Vocal duet (accom panied by piano), Misses Alice Rea, and Gertrude Houck, of Pennsylvania; 3rd-22nd Reg. march, instrumental, Mrs. Manning and the Miessrs. Rich ardson; 4th-Recitation, "The Dying Soldier," by Miss Gertrude Houck, a very handsome young lady of rare culture, who exhibited as an elocu tionist the self possession and ability of a thoroughly trained artist; 5th Instrumental and vocal music, Mrs. Manning and the Messrs. Richardson; 6th-The leading feature of the occas ion, Tecture by- Rev. John Kiershaw, of Sumter. To dilate on the happy style and ability of this distinguished lecturer, would be like an effort tc refine pure gold--simply a loss of time. His sketch of a school-boy's life during the war was indeed famil iar to us, as we, like he, having no boy hood, being in childhood at the comn meicement of the war, sprang into manhood, filling the places as gallants unteers who had just left them. We too, like he, have drifted by "moon light alone" out upon the current of life, accompanied by our heart's idol, and exchanged, as it were, the rough oar for the soft velvet hand of her, whose touch thrilled our young blood, causing us in some instances to slip our moorings without any particular port in view. "Onr very sighs were full of joy So deep, that did they not decay, That happy glalness would destroy The hearts which felt its melting sway." 7th-Instrumental waltz, "Secret Love," Mrs. Manning and the Messrs. Richardson. Round after round of applause so vigorously followed this performance that the musicians were completely encored and kindly ren dered it a second time. The suggest ive name, "Sweet Love," no doubt had more to do with its popularity than the air, though very sweet and most exquisitely rendered; 8th-an other recitation by Miss Houck, who, now being known and duly appreciat ed by the audience, was greeted by encouraging applause as she made her appearance upon the stage. Her se lection being comic, was beautifully rendered, to the great delight and en jovment of the audience. The "Bridge," by Mr. R. C. Richardson, and a beautiful trio, by Mrs. Manning and the Messrs. Richardson, followed by a farewell song by the- same trio, concluded the exercises. Next in order was an abundance of fresh oysters, cake, lemonade, fruit, etc., sold for the benelit of the acad emv. One of our most prosperous young planters, Mr. H. B. Tindal, boarded the train the other day for the "Mountain City," where he hopes to be metamor phosed on the 7th inst. from an old "Bach" into the blissful felicity of a benedict. The happy pair will take in the "Land of Flowers," and return to his elegant home in this neighbor hood, where his relatives and many friends are anxiously awaiting the welcome arrival of the fair bride. Bouldin is a kind, generous, whole souled fellow. We regret to lose him, but "such is life." May our loss be his eternal gain. Occ.SIOx.L. The Iad:ty With Two Husbands. [(in r->:le Chro~:&.] Oer corresooadeat at Gafi'ney City wr'tes us, under Gate of the 23th, as follows in regard to the matrimonial btsi.ess about which there has been recently so rauch talk : "Miss ):le is at thfis place at pre:.cot.. She stout ly denies that shesever has been mar ied to Mr. Mintz, and seems very in 6.jaauit at tbe rep)ort. She says she has not seen Rev. Mr. Carte- (who, it is alleged, ma'rred ler:,e'f an'd Mintz) is ten year, and that although M:!tz and Cart er may say she had ma:led Mint, still it is emphatically 'i.rue. As to whether her tale be toue or not, it is not for me to sav ;but she cer tainly impresses one that she speaks the truth. She says Dr. Atkinson did not want her to leave hin, but she would not do him the injustice to live with him while such a report was against her, or at least until she could establish the untruthfulness of it. This at least shows a true womanly spirit in her ; and it surely shows the right kind of feeling in Dr. Atkinson to believe what she says." [Since the above was in type Dr. Atkinson has investigated the matter, and is satisfied that Miss Little was not married to Mintz. He has taken her back to his home in Chester.] Au Oatlaw in Lancaster. R. F. Weth, of Lancaster, a desper ado and p~ ofessional outlaw, who has killed two men and has been implicat ed ia the murder of another ; who be longed to a gang of lawless roughs, and who will be remembered as two years ago attempting to take 'he life of the chief justice of this State, and who has always escaped ponishment trough the cowardice of tbe juries, is now 1a the hands of the law, where he will probably remain for years, unless the lynchers assume control. Welsh's wife, mother and father -to day appealed to the court for protec tion from him. They told the most horrible tale of brutality perpetrated by Welsh. With pistols at their heads, and knives at their throats, he had te.rrorized them for months. His treatment of his w'ie cannot be told i print. When the people of Lan caster heard these things they de mandedi his life, or such boadage that he would have to remain ia jail un til trial. In defanit of $.5,000 bond Welsh went to ja:1.-Columbila Reg Ner. Canghgit a "W1'hiie Con. W.ALTERBORIO, S. C., Feb. 24--An amusing incident is reported to us from across the Edisto. Not many days since Mr. D. E. Howel discov ered that some one was in the habit of stealing corn from his barn at night. The building was an ordinary pole structure and the ears of corn were being pulled through the cracks by some petty thief. An idea oc curred to Mr. Howell that a good strong "coon" trap properly set would have the effect of persuading this nightly visitor to work for corn in stead of sjealing, so he at once put his plan into operation. What must have been his surprise, on visiting the barn the following morning, to find a white man dangling twixt earth amld heaven suspended from his trap. The poor fellow had been caught some time during the night and had suffered untold agony in his efforts to free himself from the en deaing em'brace of the trap.-P~re.. A13m~v1LLE, Mar.ch 5.-.'peci:dl: The election on tihe question of prohibition in this county came off last Saturday and resulted in a victory for the "no license" narty, the vote being "no license" 1,122, "license" 3d2, the ma jority being 820.

You are feeling depressed, your appetite is poor, you ate bothered with Headache, you are fidgetty, nervous, and generally out of sor s, and want to brace up. Brace up, but not with stimulants. spring medicines, or bitters, which have for their basis very cheap, bad whisky, and which stimulate you for an hoar, and then leave you in worse condition than before. What you want is an alterative that will purify your blood, start healthy action of Liver and Kidneys, restore your vitality, and give re newed health and strength. Such a med icine you will find in Electric Bitters, and only 5i cents a bottle at Dinkins & Co.'s D:ug Siore. Their Business Booming. Probably no one thing has caused such a general revival of trade at Dinkins & Co.s' Drug Store as their hiving to their custo.ners so many free trim bottles of Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption. Their trade is simply enormous in this very val uable article from the fact that it always cures and never disappoints. Coughs, Colds, Asthma, Bronchitis, Croup, and all throat and lung diseases quickly cured. You car test it before buying by getting a trial bottle free, large size $1. Every bottle warranted. . HOW I'O WE O:3 C' CU AVES? We must eat or we cannot live. This we all know. But do we all now that we die by eating ? It is :aid we dig our graves with our teeth. How foolish this sounds. iet it is fearfully true. We are ter -iled at the approach of the cholera ad vellow fever, yet there is a dis asse constantly at our doors and in ur houses far more dangerous and lestructive. Most people have in heir own stomachs a poison. more low, but quite as fatal as the germs )f those maladies which sweep men nto eternity by thousands without warning in the times of great epi demics. But it is a mercy that, if we are watchful we can tell when we are threatened. The following are among the symptoms, yet they do not always necessarily appear in the samne order, nor are they always the same in different cases. i'ere is a dull and sleepy feeling; a bad taste in the mouth, especially in the morning; the appetite is change able, sometimes poor and again it seems as though the patient could not eat enough, and occasionally no -ippetite at all; dullness and slug ~ishness of the mind; no ambition to study or work; more or less head ache and heaviness in the head; .lzziness on rising to the feet or amoving suddenly; furred and coat -d tongue; a sense of a load on the donah that nothing removes; hot mind dry skin at times; yellow tinge in the eyes; scanty and high-colored urine ; sour taste in the mouth, fre .;uently attended by palpitation of the heart; impaired vision, with spots that seein to be swimming in the air before the eyes; a cough, with a greenish-colored expecto ration; poor nights' rest; a sticky slime about the teeth and gums; hands and feet cold and clammy; irritable temper and bowels bound ap, and costive. This disease has puzzled the physicians and still puz zles them. It is the commonest of ailments and yet the most compli eated and mysterious. Sometimes it is treated as consumption, some times as liver complaint, and then again as malaria and even heart dis ease. But its real nature is that of constipation and dyspepsia. It arises in the digestive organs .and soon affects all the others through the corrupted and poisoned blood. Often the whole body-including the nervous . system-is literally starved, even when there is no emaciation to tell the sad story. Experience has shiown that there is put one remedy that can certainly cure this disease ini all its stages. namely, Shaker Extract of Roots or Mother Seigers Curative Syrup.
