Mrs. Alice Osborne, wife of Mr, YV esley Osborne, died Saturday at her home in Steel Creek, X. C., after an illness of a few weeks. Notwithstanding that the bird season do -s not open until X >veinber I, a number of hunters in this section are reported to have already begun killing tpiail. The priee of eotlrm still hnngs near the S-cent mark and it s-*ems that those holding their cotton and expecting to get U or 10 emits for it are apt to be disappointed. The famine in the poultry market was broken Fri lay by the arrival of t wo crates of nice frying size chickens. These w>*re the first offered for sale on the streets in several weeks The rain of Friday rendered farm work impracticable and most of the farmers of this section were in town Saturday.

Owing to the failure to secure a sufficient head of water, it is said that no attempt will he made to run the Jones roller mill, on Catawba river, regularly daring the coming winter. The public, ferry at that point, however, will he opened in a short while, the dwelling in which the ferryman is to live having been completed a few days ago. Messrs. Hyatt & Perry, of Van i M'yck, have completed the work of repairing Harbor's bridge, 2 miles east of Fort Mill, and the structure is again in first-class condition. For some time the bridge has been unsafe, owing to the absence of the foundation of the center bench, which was carried away by high water some months ago.

Sprat t. of Fort Mill, was here Thursday on important business in the olliee of the clerk of court. Mr. Spratt had all his real estate titles and o her papers of value stored in the bank. When the safe was blown open last week by burglars, these papers were blown all over the room by force of the ex plosion. It is business here was to e?>t from the clerk of court certified copies of such lis had been recorded. This experience shows anew the importance of having all imp jrtant papers recorded.

NEW CLASS OF CLAIMS. In his annual report to the secretary of war, Hrirj. Lien. F. C. Ainswortb, chief of the record and pension division, notes the fact that a new class of claims against the I'mted States appeared during the last year ie the shape of applications l>y artillery and cavalry officers and private soldiers of the (Confederate army or their heirs for compensation for horses, sidearms and bau^aire alleged to have been taken from them by federal trorifiu nl ruifl nflt>r (lm I.. . nt Appomattox, in violation to tl a terms of i lie hiiiTender.
