Governor Hapton has approved an act to alter the law on the subject of fences in certain town ships of Fairfield," but we have been unable to procure the bill to see -what it provides. It is about as I hard to got hokd of a printed bill as for a rich man to enter the king doin of Heaven. The Charleston Aews and Co.V rier in mentioning the recent 1 gathering of the Florida Veterans of this county makes the mistake of calling them Mexican. Vetcraun. r Some of tfhose prosent have, indeed, j servo:1 in both the Florilt andt tho Mxiaw. ; but t'ie recent meitiIg wAS of the suIvivors of f the company that went from this t county to Florida. We are painod to announce the doth of Mrs. John A. Brice, which t occurred at her hoine in this county on Tuesday morning last. She I had been in bad ho tlth for some the, and her deith w.ts not unex - pecLed. Mrs. Brice was a most estimable lady, and she leaves a t large circle of kiniru.l and friends to mourn her loss. To these we extend our hearty sympathy. V- WAWrR.-W dosiro to pro Cure copies of the following num bers of the weekly NEWS AND HERALD: October 5, 1876. October 12. 1870. October 19, 1876.

RIDoEWAY NoTEs.-Tho Artillery Company have ordlered a part of their uniforms, and the Hampton Rifle Guard will have theirs short ly. Both companies will be fully uniformed by inspection time, and will present a better appearance than at the last. The theatricals at Liberty Hill were quite a success. There are now upwvards of seven hundred dollars raised by this means and sub. scriptions, for the purpose of build, ing a church. Considerablo quantities of oats are being soldl. This speaks well for the county, and we must now hope for good seasons. The roads are getting a little better. They have been miserable. DENTAL NoTroE.--Dr. Isaiah Simp son, Surgeon Dentist, Winnsboro, S. C., takes this occasion to return his grateful acknowledgments to his friends and the public generally for the confidence reposed' and patronage bestowed during the past teni years. And as he is now poerrgan0ontly located in Winnsboro, he hopes, by performing faithfully all operations entrusteo4 to his care, in the latest and most soientific man nor known to the profession, to receive a continuance of the same. Ho will be fonmod at his office on Market street, opposite -the Town Clock.

Cass aurpeutor, appoared upon the floor f the Senate and had circulated mong the members a petition, ad - resod to the governor, praying or the pardon of hoe husband, who 5 now confined in the jail at this lace. The petition sots forth that he prisoner has already suffered ufficient punishment ; that ho is in cry bad health, and that his family, onsisting of his wife and -threo Llpless children, are utterly depon.. le~it on him for 1upport. The un ortunato lady and devoted wife iorself an invalid-excited gonoral ympathy by her evident distress nd quiet, ladyslike maier in the lischargo of 1her painful, affection to duty, and, to their everlasting redit be it said, not one of tle tonorablo gentlemen composing tile ;enato of South Carolina turned a leaf car to her mute appeal for elief. She placed the paper, on vhich her happiness and that of her musband and children depends, in he hands of Senator Gary, who oon returned to her the potitiol >earing tile signaturo of every wenator in the hall. It has been ubmitted to the governor, anid it nay saifely be asserted that it is )oth hoped and expected that he, o00, will hearken to hor ploadings, nd that the unfortunato man will )e pardoned and allowed to go ree.
