Hon, I-). E. Finley and a Mr. Boqschee, special agent of the |x*?t office department spent last Wedliesdny in Fprt Mill township. The object of the visit of these gentlemen was to go over and inspect the rural mail route which was recently petitioned for by the citizens of the township. The proposed route takes a westerly course from Fort Mill passing near the plant of the Catawba Power Company, and makes n circuit of the upper (Hold Hill) section of the township, and returning by the way of the old HpringS place. Mr, Bauschee does not establish the route himself, but, if he thinks it advisable, recommends it to the authorities at Washington, and a genera) agent is sent to establish the route, ft is assumed that Mr. Bouschee's recommendation is n pretty sure sign that a route will be established, Jn regard to tlje route )u this township, he is quoted as hpvjng said that is desirable and practicable and that there is only one hindrance, that being a certain portion of bad road over which the carrier would have to travel. It Jh said that the citizens of tho vicinity jn whiph thin road lies have as, eured Mr, BouBohee that the road would be built up and put in good Shape before the general agent arrives. Me stated if this was dope, in his Opinion, there would he no trouble ift securing the route. At present the people of the Gold Hill section get their mail at Griffin's stpre, it being parried and left there iVy any of the citizens who are passing to und from Fort Mill, This is a little more convenient thani each having to come all tho way to town, but then, some are competed to two or three miles to reacb the store. The rural dellveay would carry the mail into the heart of the section and deliver it at the homes of the citizens, The proposed road which the carrier would go, should he repaired at once, not only by the parties who live in the immediate a.. i a i ai.~ vicinity, uui uy we enure ciuzenh!iip of the community. In speaking of the advantage* of rural mail routes the Vorkville Yeontan of last Friday sayst The establishment of these routes in a great convenience to the people in the country districts hikI Hectious that want them should petition the department. The carrier does not leave the line of the route selected, hut he trnvi is on a regular schedule and persons used to seeing him pass, or knowing his hours, can tell within a few minutes of the time when he will come along on a given day. People who desire their msi| delivered are required to put up iron boxes with keys, such ns are recommended by i i?e poatoftice department, and wiv friil cm) club in together M'id have their mail put in one b<>K. Those living ?wMy from the road can have their huxput up at sottio point on the fbwt ' If these txixes Are tainl*?red wUh? <l?e postoflipe departneut waken it a pari of their business io look into the matter the haute as if a wail bag had beau robbed. The carrier sells poetgl earn* and stamps and registers and waila letters. NVe do not believe any oountry district that can get ou? ol these routes would U' without i! long if they realised what a beneti it would be to them. In the upper part of Hpartan burg county about a score of sinal country postc^ices have been aliol julied and the people are now servet daily by the local free delivery .. tr \ / Tbe Belk-Qatling Mamaga.

The ceremony i was impressively performed by Key. R. A. Yongue, tlio pastor of the bride. The bride wore a very i pretty gown of rich white orgnndy trimmed with valencenr.es lace and her handsome appearance excited general criticism of n complimentary nature. Shortly after the marriage the couple left for their future homo in Hallsboro, N. C., wdere they will at once begin lioude keeping.

The eighth annual reunion of Mosby'e j Rancors at VVarrontou, Ya., last Sutur-| day was the occasion of the renewing 11 or recollections of helium days and k many a good anecdote or advent are was 1 ^ told with all the vividness of personal j A experience, say* (he Haiti more Sun. t f Mr. David S. llriscoe, of this city, who ! s was a lieutenant under Mosby, tells * several realistw. accounts of engage- l mints which indicate tho aggjvssive f l?owers of t)iis sleepless hand. On one occusoin, called the "Perry- ' villc raid," an immense haul of plunder t was taken from a train lmimr ?.> i-..ti..... ..

The , rangers came up with the Federals' j train, which was mi dor tin' protect ion of a strong guard, Early the next i morning as it was Hearing Ferry ville, Va., a fog partially concealed the Confederates and gave them opimrtmiity to plant a small how it/./.or on an oini- j lmuoe. The first shell burst in tlie road and scattered the guard and a second exploded among the wagons and caused a stumpedo among the drivers. 'J'lie | third shot was followed by the charge and tlje Federal cavalry and infantry tied, tlio Infantry hiding in the woods or behind stone fences, where they kept up a murderous fire upon the rangers. The scene became one of indescribable confusion. The train oxtomlud for ' . a long distance along tlie pikp, The booming of cannon, the bursting of shells, tl|o rattle of musketry and tbu oraek of pistols, mingled with the yells tl of the contending forces, the braying of . mules and bellowing of cattle, were heard with the cries of the wounded. Tho rangers, wild with excitenioiit, hiniLT and sheeted mul Mi.. i?... ???v '\U"H I mules joined in the chorus. Over GOO mules were taken in this : raid, :i(! horses, 200 fine cattle and 200 ! prisoners. Over 100 wagons were de- i stroyed. In one wajtou was a ltox which was thrown out upon the p round by the | roadside, along with other boxes and trunks containing otlieers baggage and it passed unnoticed anions these riidt prizes. It was afterward learned that this box was filled with greenbacks. Mr. Briscoe participated in the mid in which Captain Mountjoy was killed^ Captain Mountjoy had been sent into Loudon county with Company D after the Ixtudon Ratiners, and at Uoresville he fell in with a detachment of Union ^ troops under Lieut.
