Among the prisoners recently son to jai is a half-grown black boy, seu tel ced to thirty days' imprisonmeli for breaking into a house and stealin; a pone of bread. We do not object t his being lunishcd, but it it seems tha thirty days' safe lodging and ninet square meals at the expense of th county is a premiumn that would temp almost any body to steal at pone c bsead. The law should allow And Emerson to give him a good thrashin and turn him out. TiE NEwS AND CoUIU,R Piuz STORY.-The award for the prize stor of the NVcws and C1ourimr ha11s at la, been made. Rev. C.

To the Postmaster, Winneboro, S. C. DEAn Sia-Would you please mak inquiries in your town, or' have inser; ed in one of your papers,.a local itQl that Patrick Sweeny is needed i Allentown, Penn., to look after hi property which Is about to be sold fc a debt of $180. Tihe cost of the prof: orty is about $1500 or $2000. Respectfully yours, JOHN BRESTIN~. This letter bears the earmarks< fraud. There is no reason for any oli to suppose that Patrick Sweony liv< in Winnsboro any more than at any < the other towns Iin the United States A general search would have bee made by printed circular. On thi * other hand this lettea is written o part of alcaf ofletter paper ina "fancy envelope having the initial "N," th * address written diagonally, and th whole thing bearing simplicity ani innocence on its face. A printed cir onlar wou'd not be apt to get a bite, a that dodge lhas played out. The inten tion of the writer was evidently t< - 4atch some greenhorn willing to fr'aud ulontly persornate "Patrick Sweeny,' who would send the $180, and hear ni more of it. A similar case occurred.hi Charleston some time ago, in whici an old woman in Car ada was dupe( by the story that'her son had died ami loft some val.uables in pawn. She son the money, but the thief was caught We suspect this to be a similar dodge KOTEM8 F)ROM SALEar. Two Pleasant Entertainments--The Ne Results -Condition of the Man Re cently Wounded. SALEM, April 7, 1879.-It is seldon I bat your correspondent has been abl to send you a description of two ver; pleasant occasions at one time. Thi! he is able to do now. ThI adies, with com'mendable zeal had (!eterm>ined to have a festival o the right of first of April for the bene fit of the Salem Preibyterian church at the house of Mr. G. B. Pettigrew whose genial hospitality always rei ders his house the objective point fo buch occasions about Salem. In con sequence of the inclement weather o the night appointed, t. > i was only t small attendance. The old adage runs "The more the merrier, the fewer th bettor cheer." We could almost revis this for this occasion, for three time the number could have found everl good thing in abundanc - but we ar almost sure could n'ot have made th( few that were there en"joy themselve any more. A repetition of this festi val was generally called for, and th - house of Mr. M. L. Owings, whos motto, as every one knows, is, ''We] come the coming and speed the partinl guest," was selected. Here again wit spent another exceedingly pileasan ovenieg. The amusements on bot occasions consisted of charades, char I actor-songs and music, all of whic - were rendered in a manner highly er tertaining. In short, the festivals ma 3 be classed with the most enjoyable o< casions of the season, where every t body seemed pleased with themselve - and every one else. We undorstan that about forty dollars was realize t at both festivals. Stultz, the tobacconist recenti t robbed, isstillliving, but his conditio is considered hopeless. RETLAw.
