It was "too bright to last," however, and melted away almost as rapidly as it. had come. 1)EATH OF MR. IENIRY C,ARK.-Mr. Henry Clark, a highly respected citi zen of this county, died at his home a few days since at the advanced age of sventy-soven years. The deceased - ' ha-1, by his strict integrity and geuer al high character, made a large num ber of friends. These join with his kindred in the deep regret felt at his death, and in doing honor to his nlemory. V A.ENTINEL'S I)A.--The fourteenth of February was duly celebrated in Winnsboro. A large number of Val. entines passed through the postofllce, some breathing the tenderest accents of l've, and adorned with unadorned cupids and bleeding hearts, but the majority were of a very difierent nature. Some of the latter were amusing, some silly, some a little malicious, and all causing amusement either to the receiver or the sender, or both. The valentine venders did a brisk trade. It'sjust a little strange how willing ly people will pay fifty cents to witness the very poor performance of a stroll ing troupe like the "Globe Comedy Company," and at the same time think a quarter of a dollar quite enough to be charged by a party of ladies and gentlemen who work for charity, and who give an exhibition which, in refinement and general merit, is~ far supeLrior to any given by thme 'Globe Comedy Company" dlur ing their late performance in Winns boro. REv. W. E. BoGas.-An Atlanta letter to the Savannah .News says: "There is quite a desire to have 1Rev. W. E. Boggs, D. D)., of Alemphis, become the settled p)ast.or of the Cen tral Prmesbyteriam church of Atlanta, at the close of Rev. Dr. Vaughn's sup ply. It is doubtful, however, if the church in Memphis will consent to give up their good pastor, whlose no ble services during the recent epidem ie have endeared him more strongly to their hearts, lie is in the very prime of life, a man of scholarly quadlities and a pleasing pulpit orator, and would prove a most accep)table succes sor~ to such an able divine as R1ev. Dr. Leftwich." A CASE FORl Cmm.uar.-On Sat ur day Dr. Robertson was called to his door, and on going out found a poor woman with an infant four weeks old in her armas, and leading a boy about three or four years old. The boy wvas suffering from a grain of corn that had lodged in his wIndpipe about three weeks ago. The umother, who gives her name as Mrs. Gibson, as soon as she could travel, started out on foot with her two children from Doko, and walked to Simpson's Turnout, whero she got a ride from a passing wagon. She appears to be in circumstances of' great destitution. Through the chari ty of certain parties she was furnished with lodgings, and the child's throat was cut open on Sunday. Though the physicians failed to extract the grain, the child is doing as well as could be expected, and hopes are en tertained that the corn may yet be taken out and that the child will re cover. This Is a case of charity, and any contributIons of clothing or other things for the children will nmot be amiss. The party should also be sent home. on the train. In reply to a statement going the rounds some time since that trachiotomy is a very rare operation, we would say that one physician alone in WVinnsborO hag performed seven such operations in the ordinary course of county practice. Thme opergion is a-vry .delicato oge but it is said to be successful nine times out of teu, unlose the obstructing substance has been In the windpipe long enough to become encysted. ''IIE CIRCUIT COUIr.-Since our last report the Court has been engaged lin the trial of civil causes. Of these the following is a synopsis: W. R. Sykes vs. James Moore Messrs. McCants & Douglass for plaintiff, Colonel Iion for defendant. This was an issue made up under the agricultural lien law, to determine the amount due by the lionor to the lience, The plaintiff had advanced to the de. fendant, and had levied up/)i the lat ter's crap under an agricultural lien, The plaintifl had the question of amount due brought to court. The amount involved was between sever aud eight dollars. The matters in dis pute between the parties were the prices for supplies advanced, the rate of interest, and the application of cer tain moneys paid by the plaintiff. The jury were instructed to bring in a special verdict. The jury found as follows: "We find that there was no agreement as to the price to he)charged by the plaint.iff, and that corn must he charged at $1.10 per bushel, bacon at 12 1-2 cents per pound, and coffee at 25 cents per pound ; and we further find that the ten dollars, payment made by defendant, be applied to the second lien." W. Rt. Kennedy vs. Jeff. J. Posey Messrs. Gaillard & Reynolds for plaintiff, Mr. A. M. Mackey for de fondant. This wasan action toget pos session of real property. The plaintiff claimed the land in question by virtue of a deed of conveyance from the Sec retary of State. The defendant al leged that ho had gone into possession under a "certificate of purchase" from the Land Commission, had paid ccr sums in part of the purchase-money, and had assigned to the plaintiff the "certificate of purchase" as collateral security for certain advances-which advances, the defendant claimed, had been fully paid for. The plaintiffs evidence showed that in his purchase from the Secretary of State the Secre tary had made allowance for the sums of money paid by Posey-notwith standing the fact that, under the t(rmts of the "certificate of purchase" Posey had forfeited all claim whatever to the laud. Upon this turn in the case, his honor the presiding judge ruled that Kennedy was a mere mortgagee of Posey, to the extent of any money due by the latter out of the transaction wherehi the certificate of purchase had been pledged, in addition to the amount paid by Kennedy to the Secretary of,State, with interest from the date of the deed. His Honor, holding that the question of title was not before the Court, ruled that the only matter before the jury was the determination of the amount due by Poscy to Kiennmedy on the entire transaction involved in the case. T he evidence on b'othi sides was then heard--the ease consuming the entire day. The jury returned the follow ing verdict: "WYe iad, on the mortgage, judgment for the plaintiff in the sum or one hund~red and thirty-three anid sixty..three one-hund Wred the dlolars" this b)eing the amount paid by Ken nody to the Secretary of State, with interest, andl thme t.axes paid by the former on the land ini question. Sa ra.h Ca rman, Admnuist ratrix of Daniel Scott, Deceased, vs. Frank Lei tner-Messrs. McCants & IDouglass for lalintiff, anid Colonel Itioni for defendant. This was anm appeal from a decision of rial Justice Glenmn. Tfhe action was brought to recover plossession of a certauin cow. The trial justice decided for tihe p)laintiff, and the defendant apper.led. The jury in the Circuit Court found for the defendant. For several days there has been much quiet gossip at Washington to the effect that the wives of cer.. tain prominent Democratic senato re had called upon Mrs. Bruce, the wife of thme colored senator from Mississippi. Mr. Bruce says that none of the wives of Democratic senators have called upon Mrs. Bruce, but that several Dernocratic representatives from the Northern States and their wives have called, and the wives of all the Reopublican senators.
