I H'L'O c A L 11'KMS. Commodore Ciitx has been relieve*! at | his own request, and is succeeded by Commodore Hughs. + The steamer Pilot Boy is making Sunday excursions between Savaunah and -* J ucv. i ? A man named Robert Butler said to be a native of Beaufort was drowned in Georgetown last wevk. ! The unsightly holes along the aea walj have been filled up?a layer of soil spread ou the top,*nd we shall soon see these places covered with a carpet of grass. The tax payers take much pleasure in viewing iO good an outlay of the taxes. i ^ i < A colored man named Adam Sma'l was killed on the Savannah and Charleston Railroad last Thursday while attempting to get on the train while in motion. ??? ? Mr. J. M. Crofut, deputy collector of internal revenue, went up country last week and while in Blackville captured a wagon, two mules, aud fourteen boxes of crooked tobecco. The Harvey Miils case still drags along the past week being devoted to argument * K .. by the attorneys iu tJae case, n is ?-apected Judge Bryan will render his decision in the course of few dnys and the j claimants are hopeful of a large award. We would direct the attention of our readers to the advertisement of the Boston Transcript in another column. Its standard of excellence in editorials and in literary, musical, and general news is of the highest kind, ud We recommend it to those who wish to subscribe to a first class New England paper. The sawmill of Mr. Goo. B. Hack, at Yarnsville, was destroyed by incendiary lire on the 23d. Mr. Hack's fireman went to the mill for the purpose of firing up the engine, and, thinking it too early, he returned to his house, and after waiting about an hour, lie again went to the mill to fire up, when he discovered the whole building enveloped in flames. The Town Hall enterprise seems to hang fire. No one, so far as we can learn, has offered any opposition to tbc improvement and it has been demonstrated that the building would rent for more than enough to pay the interest on the cost, besides being an ornament to the town, and meet the wants of a suitable hall for public purposes. We hope it will not be allowed to be overlooked. The town council was expected to hold a meeting on the subject to hear the opinions of our i citizens but nothing has yet been done. liist Thursday m >rning an unknown man was overtaken on the Savannah and j Char'eston Railroad track, three miles north of Grahamville, by four negro tramps from Savannah, *ho attacked; him, cutting and clubbing him horribly. ! After lobbing h'ui of his money, watch, j and v.ilise, they threw him into a tr^tle fifteen feet deep, an 1, believing him dead, proceeded in the direction of Charleston. Their victim reoovercl sufficiently t? drag himself a short distance and report the assault and was ta-en to Charleston. We are informed that ou the evening ( of April 5th the ladies of the Beaufort ; Baptist Congregation propose giving a strawberry Festival; and as the proceeds are to be devoted to the purchase of a new organ we hope that the utmost liberality will be manifested by our people. The entertainment will take place at the residence of Mr. Wm. II. Locked who has kindly placed his parlors j at the disposal of the ladies. We hope that all will help the'good cause. " % Mr. Wm. Kressel has a supply of a patent burner for kerosene lamps called the Monitor which needs only to be seen to be appreciated, and as it costs no more than other burners should find a large sale. The advantage of the monitor is that it has a cap that fits over the !>/? wiVL- ?nd in case the Ul'UlllUg iv& vuv WW ava* ? ? lamp is upset the cap at ooce extinguishes the flame. * " Ladies ! Those linen suits have arrived, at Apple's. Stop in and examine them. The Marseilles Quilts at Apple's, are the nicest ever brought to Beaufort. ?CP i " Gentlemen " I Hats in the latest spring styles at Apple's see for your selves. Our shirts can not be surpassed.

Bell, Photographer, will remain in Beaufort but a few days longer and those who have failed to secure their pictures had better attend to it at once if they wish to be attended by the artist now in charge. Amber pictures 4 for one dollar Handsome famed pictures $1.50. * A frost in Rock Hill last week injured the peach orop. The Aiken hotels are crowded with tourists who seem to come later than usua' this year. Mr. Raymond of Greenville has discovered and patented a plan for melting mica and brass. Orangeburg claims to have an honest lawyer and thinks he should succeed Chief Justice Moses. Mr. T. K. Saspostas, a trial justice in Orangeburg, refuses to close his office on ^ account of Judge Reed's decision. Mr. Wallace, the Evangelist who was in Beaufort a few days sco hi? boon ?ipeht irig r ncop!" W.:' i BgCTT'ff Jl. JIITO??? ?3CPMHMM?g3 Four prisoners in the Aiken jail broke out la.Nt week. Two were recaptured. The farmers in Abbeville are suffering I for advances, and are willing to pay i twenty-five to fifty per cent interest for j credit. In a recent election in Abbeville the j Independent candidate beat the regular Democatie candidate by a vote of two to uuc. Steve Anderson, the Aiken murderer who was reprieved at the last minute, is now engaged in wrestling with the g' ost of one of the men executed. A little child of Mr. Richard Scruggs, in Spartanburg, was left alone in the house one day last week aud when found was burn ;d to deatn. A fire broke out in Greenville last Sat- J urday destroying property worth $45,00^. Insurance $15,000. Another fire the , same day destroyed the residence of Mrs- 1 Mauldin. Paro Garrett, a burglar was instantly killed last Friday in Charleston by the discharge of a spring gun wh le atterap| ting to enter a wiudow of a store. in tk/* Phar ICII |?n?UlieiS kUUUUVU u VUV v?? lesion jail awaiting trial have been discharged by order of Judge Reed to save the expense to the county of feeding them until a session of Court can be held. The construction train is running five or six miles on the Spartanburg and Ashville Railroad track, and the work of laying the track is being pushed forward. Judge Carpenter adjourned court in Edgefield last'week on account of the multitude of juries and clerks. A com| promise wa3 made that a jury should be selected and a clerk recognised and the lawyers might have civil cases tried provided both sides would agree not to question the legality of the clerk and jury. The grand jury ot Greonviile County have presented A. L. Cobb, John* P. Scruggs and Wilson Cook as exercising the duties of County Treasurer, County Auditor and Jury Commissioner, respec tively in violation of law, the said parties having been removed by Governor Hampton.

The United States Court in Baltimore has declared the Civil Kights bill unconstitutional. * Five hundred and fortyjive revenue prisoners have been released from custody at the Uuited States District Court in i Atlanta. j Florida strawberries are selling in New i YYrk city ;or five dollars a quart, and one j dollar per plate. Tne book keeper of the Brooklyn Bank j was arrested last Friday for robbing the J bank 11 $100.(XX). All the money whs recovered, the mat) being doubtlesa insane Minister Washburnc has resigned the French mission, and the President ba> : accepted his resignation, with the request j that he will remain at Paris until his successor arrives there. Thb shipment of bcel to England has become so extensive that there is talk of chartering the Great Eastern to transport cattle to that couutry from the United States. Persons on the outlook for straws regard the arrival of Mrs. Chamberlaiu with halfa dozen trunks, in Washingiou from South'Carolina as significant. Mr. Packard is too forward. He is looming up as a fomenter of strife when he ought to be cautious and keep shady. Mr. Packard wants to retire within himsell?to telescope, as it were?so that there will be less of him to get hit when the blow comes. Some difficulty is experienced in com promising the debts of several Southern States, the principal trouble beieg that the States are too poor and the debts are too large. Tha Savannah News says there is not a case of small por in that city at present. 1400 people have been vaocinated so far. The Palatka Herald say* there were five hundred arrivals at the Hotels of that place last week, exclusive of boardinghouses and that there are more visitors than ever before Mrs. Haye9 is a sensible woman. Having been waited upon by a delega" tion of her own sex concerning the use of wine at State dinners, she replied that it would be impertinent in her to regulate matters controlled by her husband. The Good Templars of Boston have refused to allow their colored brothers membership in the order, and a new graud odge will be established by the dissatisfied and excluded members. The population of Augusta, has increased nearly fifteen thousand in the past six years, and an impulse has re-: cently been given to manufacturing that | .will materially aid the increase of wealth and population. ?The mystery of the Northampton Bank robbery has been solved. BankLock Expert Edson, of New York, who j has been employed by the IJerring company, made wax impressions of three of the vault keys for the burglars. ! Boss Tweed is to be liberated very soon on i condition that he gives up all his proper 1 ty to the City of New York, The amount expected to be realized is over a million I dollars. i "Often, often," says Mrs. Van Cott, ! "even now the devil comes to me and ! tempts me to evil thoughts." Well, it's natural; 3he isn't to blame for it' j When she stands on the platform in the blaze of the chandelier, and a scrawny sinner lopes up the center aisle, she can't help saying softly to herself, "If-I-look4 ed- like t hat-woman-Pd r>ad."- The Graph;". The following description of President | Hayes is from a graphic account of the 1 inaugural ecreuiot.ics written by Mrs. Cletntuer.for the independent: His pictures give but a faint shadow of ? l?.., r.^A4??aiA Ulo mntroinrnf ine man, iur iu? muiuic, i?ia uiv>viu\?>, his presence, indicate him even more than his face. All express the highest manliness. The light step, the erect ^ head, the splendid fitrure, the clear, open 1 countenance-all indicate purity, health . J and power. We have been told so often c that he is "not a great mau" that I expected to see rather a weak looking brother, and confess to positive surprise when I saw before me a man who made ^ the men about him look rather poor and small, who, it'there be anything in tempeiament,'physique and head, has enough of each and all for himself, with consider- I able to spare to others. Having seen him, nobody now could ever make me believe that he has not a mind of his . nwn. with will enouirh and sense enough to put it to the best uses. And the ' whimpering Thomases of the party, who have expected him to be putty in the fingers of his Republican makers, may hang up their fears. Already they are chewing the ends of their fingers in f disgust, for where they felt for the putty it was not there, and, with all their manf ipulations, they cannot keep Car! Schurz c out of the cabinet. > A tew weeks ago the children attending a school kept by a priest at Capua, Italy were left to themselves a few minutes, . and one of them allowed a favorite canary of the master's to escape front its cage When the latter returned he demanded ^ the name of the culprit, and, on dismis- b sing the other children to their dinner, Ci desired him to stay behind, and go down p on his knees as a further punishment. The other children, as they passed the butch er's shop of their schoolfellow's father explained why he wouldn't be home to dinner, and presently his mother went to intercede for him. When she made a her way into the room she found the si poor fellow lying dead, crucified on a ta- a ble, his feet being cut off because the ta- d ble was not long enough. When her husband came, he discovered the priest w in an adjoining room, and plunged a o poignard into his heart killing him at it once. d ! p ?A gentleman happeucd to be passing tl a door in a certain street in London be- h fore which stood a hack cab. As he v passed, an invalid, bearing on his face tx the eruption of small pox. came out and entered the cab. The observer followed n the vehicle as rapidly as he could and was L just in time to see it deposit its fare at a small-pox hospital. Then he saw the C driver hailed by a lady and gentleman, is whom he vainly endeavored to warn by his shouts. They took no notice, got in and drove off. The observer still followed, B and was just in time to see the pair de scend at the door of a house in one of the best square* in London. Some time after, be tig again in London, (fur informant thought lie would cail at the house. He found the blinds of the house down. The master had died on the previous dav of small pox, and his wife was not) expected to recover from the sauic malady. . .
