The exhibition of the Manning Academy which was to have taken place next Frida y evening has been postponed until the 11th of January. Change of Schedule. The express train has been discontinued, and hereafter the fast mail will carry the exprey. Thin gives us only oneC passen ger train a day, eacth way. 'The schezdule of this train remains about the same, the train from Charleston getting here at 8.53 A. si., and from Columbia at 7.07 P'. xz. The freight train from Sumter arrives here at 9.33 A.x., and leaves at 10 A. x.; from Innes arrives at 4.25 P. x., and leaves at 4.40 Incendiarism Near Packsville. The corn house and stable of Mr. Man ning Hiodge, in the lower part of Privateer township, was burnt.,bout 3 o'clock on Friday morning;' De. 7th; and his horse was considerably injured by fire, but was ___fortunately saved, and it is thought will re cover. Tracks were found which lea to the barn and back to the lodgings of a white a,w who was not on good terms with Mr. ogand also of a negro boy, both of whom have been arrested on sr'-iion and lodged in jail awaiting an intet..igation. Santer Wahtchmacn. Thefick. - Mr. Dudley Hodge, of Oakland, is s->me better. Mr. David G. Shorter has been quite sich but is better. Dr. J. G. Dinhins has been quite si-:k for several days, threatened with pneumnoma. Mr. Thos. Wilson, Jr., of Wilsons, is sick at his father's home with typheid four. - Mrs. H. H. Lesesne, who has been quite sick at her home near Jordan. is greatly improved. Severe illness in the Editor's fa~mily has prevented his usual attention to tar paper this week. This accounts for no editonial Mules and Horses at Auctin. We have received a telegram from the MoCafferty Bros. saying that they will be in Manning next Saturday Dec. 22d, with a carload of excellent mules and horses. These mules and horses will be sold at auction, and the sale will take place, regardless of price bid for stock, or the state of the weather. The McCafferty Bros. are well known throughout this county, and in fact throughout the State, and it is useless for us to say that the bare an nouncement that the McCafferty Bros. will be in town next Saturday is suffi cient to draw an immense crowd to town. Every body who has any de sire to buy a horse will be here. The McCafferty Bros. sold thou + sands of Texas ponies in this State last year, and a large number in this county. The business transactions of these gentlemen are always characterized with fairness and honesty. Farmers and others desirous of ob taining great bargains should not fail to attend this sale.

Here is a problem in arithmetic, which some of our young friends may try to solve during the holidays. We shall be pleased to receive answers to the same: A and B together buy 100 acres of land, each paying two hundred and fifty dollars. A says to B if you give me my choice of land I will pay 75 cents more per acre. How much land does each one get and what do they pay per acre? Incendiary Fire in Salem. BEr Dm=, Dec. 9.-On the night of the 8th inst., the dwelling and out houses on the Samson Parker place in Motts town ship, now owned by Mr. David Coker, of Williamsburg county, was burned with their contents. It was clearly the work of an in cendiary. A family by the name of Wick son resided in the dwelling house, but were absent ,om home at the time. They lost all their clothin, furniture, and provis ions, and are really in a destitute condition. It is to be hoped that this fire fiend may be discovered and dealt with as the law di rects. S&rx.E Stole Money. Allen Bryant last Tuesday, Dec. Ilth, stole from his father-in-law, H. R. Goodwin, of Lexington county, $985 in gold and $2.50 in silver, and was arrested the following day at Lexington Court House, and lodged in jail. All of the money except about $50 has been recovered. It was thought that Willie, his younger brother, was also con nected with the theft, and' he was arrested on suspicion in this place last Wednesday, but he had none of the money on his per son and was released. Allen, it will be re membered, is a bad boy, and was shot last spring by his father for some of his bad ness. He is a son of Mr. John Bryant, and is only about twenty-one years. old. His. brother is about nineteen. Allen was mar ried two or three months ago to Mr. Good win's daughter. Attempt to Burglarize the Treasury. An attempt was made last Sunday night to rob the county treasurer's safe, but with. were famailiar with, the court house offces. An effort was made to go in by the treasur er's door. A ey was broken off in an old oc onthe door, and a hole was cut truhthe door, but it seemns as if they gave up this plan and tried the clerk's door. This door was forced open, and then a hole Icut through the chimney between the two offices :nto the treasurer s office. The bur ~glars then crawled through this hole, and tried to open the safe by the combination. But they didn't know it, and though the signs are that the worked at the combina tion long and laoously, yet they eould not get the doer open. Finally they gave up the business as a bad job, and left the two offices intact, except as to the broken doors. It is evident that it was a bungling 'job, and by greenhorns at the safe-cracking businesa. No force was attempted, and the men trying to open the safe must have thought they knew the combination of the lack. Sunday night was just the night for such work, dark and raining. A row in another partof the town was calculated, too, to facili tate the robbery. But the would-be burgiats had failed to catch the combination, and conseqently failed to get the ten or fifteen thousand dollars they coveted. Such a bungling affair will in all proba bility come to light, and we expc our Sheriff very shortly to have the gity par ties behind the bars. Thieves at Jordan. - Last Sunday night the store of Mr. H. T. Avant, at Jordan, was broken into by Philip Brunson and J;ohn Davis, both col ored. No one was in the store at the time. Philip went into the store and left John outside to watch. While they were robbing te store Mr. Frank Avant and a friend re turned about midnight. Mr. Frank Avant went in at a doer of the store, and Philip went out a window. Search was instituted for the thieves, and about daylight Mr. Avant succeeded, by tracks, in finding P~hilip in an old house near. Louis John son's. Philip was asleep, and uIpon .being arrested confessed his guilt, and also impli cated John Davis. After he was caught he was tied, and Mr. Young placed in guard over him. Watching his chance Philip attempted to give leg bail,-but after a chase of two hun dred yards he was caught and then brought to Manning and placed in jail. Philip has served a term in the penitentiary, and un less Jailer Strange is mighty careful our old rickety jail will not hold him till February. I Love Licks at Panela. Ben, a colored dude hailing from the city of oreston, luts recently been making love to one of the colored beauties of Panola. Ben's attentions were viewed with great fa vor by te girl's mother, but the girl pre ferred to enjoy the luuries of single life rather than to have to own a lord and mas ter in the connubial state. Ben paid a visit to his Juliet one night last week, and he and the Juliet's mother insisted on a union of hands and a blending of hearts at once. But our deuk Juliet objected, and ran away to a .ntighbor's house to seek a hiding place. "en followed her, and having found her, attepted coercion to gain her conisei .. :& d~e hei forthi fromn her hiding place, and unglkstly and u1npoetie!adly be.gan trailing 1'r with a huge collard stalk. Her enies of is rs ealk d forth all the colored popula ton of the neighborhood, who protested ag-it such unknightly proceedings; andl om'e thicatened -dire punishment upon the -oud-be g-room. M1r. A. Pluckney Ragin live neair the scene of action, and the dus k crwd began lustily ecalling for him, and up- i: a ppearauce begged him to kill tLe of~ing Romeo, but Mr. Phagin declined to nterfere; and by the ghastly ligLt of a pnc Lu,> fie, the proceedings contined. Th other neg~roes danced widly around bg.in Ben to' ce.se his fond caresses, and nna persuaded him to redupush hiis hoild and cla -u~ on the object of his heart's de ;sires and atlectionus.
