The Court was occupied Wednesdaj* of last week in granting orders, confirming I reports, etc., by the Judge. Thursday morning the trial of jury cases was commenced, and the first case taken up was that of Eugenia M. Rice vs. F. M. Bamberg ?a suit for the possession of land. This case has been tried once before in the Circuit Court and a verdict rendered for the defendant. The plaintiff appealed to the Supreme Court, which reversed the Circuit Court and sent the case back for trial. On this last trial the jury again found for the defendant. A motion to set aside the verdict and to grant a new trial was made by attorneys for the plaintiffs, and the Judge signed an order to this effect, he stating in his order that the verdict of the jury was against the manifest weight of the testimony. There promises to be lengthy litigation in this case. The case of F. W. Chitty vs. the Pennsylvania Railroad was next tried, and the jury found for the plaintiff $G00 damages. This case has been to the Supreme Court, and the Circuit Court was sustained, which found for the plaintiff. This was a suit for damages for the delay of watermelons in transit. In the case of J. II. Dixon vs. J. A. Spann, a non-suit was granted by the Judge: Friday the case of C. B. Thomas vs. S., G. Mayfield?an action for damages?was taken up,andthe trialof this caseconsumed the time of the Court until adjournment Saturday afternoon. The jury found a verdict in favor of the defendant. The contention for damages was based on the deadening of timber 011 lands sold by the defendant to the plaintiff. When the j trial of this case was concluded the jury j for the first week was discharged and Court adjourned until Monday morning. | Monday morning the case of W. L. Mc- j Fail against the Southern Railway Co. was taken up. This was a suit for dam"** * 1 ,.?;i ages by lire, rue jury iouiui mnauroad. A motion for a new trial was made bj* attorney for plaintiff.

Cruel Murder in Colleton. I Charleston, April 21.?A murder of , extraordinary brutality was committed I near Raven el's station, Colleton county, this morning. W. W. Jones, a section master on the Plant System, on returning to his home in the forenoon found the body of his wife in a dog house near his home. The throat of the young wife was cut from ear to ear, and the head was " - * V - -1- 4 1.1 almost severed irom ine uouy. a uiuuustained sickle, which lay near the corpse, showed how the crime had been committed." As several articles are missing from the house, robbery is supposed to have been the main object. Whether, as has been reported, there has been a more fiendish crime depend upon the reports of physicians. A band of armed citizens was immediately organized and the sheriff promptly informed, but as yet no clue to the murderer has been found. From Capt. Hunter. Editor The Bamberg Herald:?I take this method of extending my hearty appreciation of and thank^-for the many manifestious of sympathy for and interest in our project to erect a monument to Bamberg county's honored dead in the civil war. I am glad to report a good meeting Wednesday of last week, and to state that I have since that time received a very encouraging report from Mrs. Bennett, chairman of the auxiliary committee of ladies at Olar, as well as from Capt. W. T. Cave of the same place. In fact, reports from all sections of the county indicate great interest in this work of love and I feel safe in saying that our efforts will be crowned with success. Let us each one determine to know no such word as fail. Assuring the committees of my readiness to co-operate with and | assist them at any time, I am, Yours truly, J. B. Hunter, $ President.

The picnic at the Lutheran church will be held on the 15th of May. Everybody can consider themselves cordially invited. Messrs. Edwin and Frank Chassereau attended the ball at Barnwell ou last Monday night, and took in the large picnic at Holmau's bridge the next day. If a certain "sport" around this place j would like to gain favor with the old ; I folks, we would advise him, the next time j he goes to see the object of his affections, j j not to hitch his horse to her father's little oak tree which hasn't sufficient roots to hold him, so succeeds in breaking it off! and goes on to the mother's favorite rose | bush that is in full bloom and when the young gentleman bids his girl adieu and starts out finds his path strewn with love- J ly white roses. We cannot, however, assure him that he will find it so the next time he comes. j Everybody must be sure to attend the 1 n: ?' An novt TTVl. memorial ai x\iveis jj?mgt uu ? da}*, April 25th. Mr. D. A.

Colston, April 22.?It has been quite a while since we have noted anything from this section of Bamberg county in your l valuable columns. We claim this part of 1 the county to be one of the garden spots ' of the State, simply for these ,-easons: 1st. All of us are farmers and do not depend upon the West to fill up our corn cribs with their corn or our smoke houses with their bacon, but most always have some to dispose of. 2nd. We have two schools, Cuffy Creek, which is under the able management of Miss Alma Sandifer, and also has a special levy of two mills which will enable us to - -1 ? ? i.-'in lnnnoi*. the Hrtkfnn I run si suurii ?line i?jugvi, v?v ^?. ? school not having any special levy closed a few days a*o, and Miss Hattie Smoak, the teacher, has returned to her home. 3rd. We have in our midst a Baptist church, the interest of which is sought after by that noble and able divine, Rev. W. D. McMillan, of Blackville, S. C. We also have an exceptionally good physician in the person of Dr. E. Kirkland, who is ever ready to administer unto the wants of those that need his services. The colored people of Colston, after obtaining permission from Rev. Robt. Williams, a brother of the late Dr. Jno.G. Williams, built a very comfortable church upon his lands, the cost of which amount; ed to about $500. The work was eom. menced about one year ago and while it | was not completed they have been hold ing their services there for some time, - and the night of the 20th instant, at some late hour some unknown party or parties ' set fire to it and in a short while it was t totally destroyed.
