Our friends wishing to have advertisements Inserted in thu TIMES, must hand them in Wy Mond a j morning, 10 o'clock. .1 ' ' ? ? ? ? TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION: ??? Copy for on* year, - $2.00 " h " Six Months, - - ? 1.00 We understand that Mr. T. W. Albergotti is hard at work nn-i will ooou reopen his bakery. C. D. Kortjohu was not burnt out Just look at his advertisement, if you want to bo convinced. He offers a epiendid stock of goods. T. Koun & Brother still live. Thoy aro now opening at Bottersons building near Bull & Scovills where they will be glad to servo their old customers. We call attention to the dissolution ?of tho firni of Vose & Izlnr. Tlio bu siness will hereafter be conducted solely bv Mr. Vcso, whose popularity and mercantile ability is fully established. We wish him continued success. It is said that a man iu Kansas named Hamilton, having been giltcd successively by the two daughters of a Mr Bear,finally offered Mr Bear 8500 for his wife, to which Mr B consented and all parties are now living happily Wo regret to hear of several families in this County emigrating. It is sad to see our best citizens leaving, which is only making.the condition of those who are left behind more gloomy. We want every good man to stay and ?h many more as possible to come in to help us. The Southern Cultivator is upon our table for January, As usual it furnishes its renders w ith a rich supply of literary matter. We notice an ar ticle in it from our friend M. L Bald win. Wood's Magazine is also at hand with-tt.s usual valuable.table o! contents Sale Bar From nil appearances every body ytM iu town on .?ulesdiiy. The streets Were eroMlcd, especially about the iiihrlK of busin-.'.-sy und, owing to the long spcl! of bad v either and the Wi chum- ol travel, the crossings weW??t evii ng.c- Mhlc lo pedestrians. A ;;oi?d sr.jiny horse.** ami mule* and O'.her personal property were suhl. Farmers seemed to be actively arrang ing for another crop. The Sheriff also told several valuable pieces of proper ty, which seemed to bring lair prices. TakitKU an outside or bird's eye view, we w.re-very much pleased with what done at the Fair Grounds on the iiOth of December. We don't know about the picnic, hut, irom wlint we can see from the street, the grounds will be very much improved by the tree planting. Besides the beautifying of the prom \fca and of the town generally, it will certainly be a source of pleasure in after years for the owner of each tree ?r his children to enjoy its shade, and contemplate the associations with which it was connected. W? thiuk it advisable to draw ntten tion to the advantages of the Ashville and Spartanburg Railroad, which is now in process of construction. Every county is certainly benefited, if provis ions are made cheaper, and immigrants are tempted to settle amongst us,wliich is the inevitable result of the building of this groat avenue to the West. If immigrants come to Charleston and take their western journey through our State, we can surely induce some of them to stop. We appeal to every citizen in the State to aid in this great enterprise as far as he can. We think the people of Orangeburg Would like very much to know what ia the. real obstacle to the opening of that new street. We are informed that Judge Glover has also offered a street through his lot to connect this Ht?cet with Russell street. These would be incalculable improv monta to our town if pushed through, and we trust Council will rouse from their inaction. Streets aro as necessary to tho prosperity of a town, ns veins to tho health of the body. Tho en hancement of property more than compensates for the trifling tax re quired. TERRIBLE CONFLAGRATION: Tho Business part of Orongebnrg in Ashes. On Tuesday morning, while our good citizens were rapt in slumber, the fire fiend visited our Town with probably the greatest calamity within the recol lection of tue oldest inhabitant. About 2 o'clock at night the fire | commenced in tho kitchen of Mr Cart mill, from which it spread, despite the efforts of tho Firo Department and citizens, until the richest portion of our nourishing Burg was completely, devas tatod. The scene in tho morning was truly melancholy, and beggars description. It only reminds us in a forcible man ner of tho fickle and transitory nature of human affairs, and of the folly of laying too much stress upon earthly possessions. Men who on Monday were strong in all that makes life com fortnble,on Tuesday were brought low, if not dismayed. Whilo some may be able to recover, others doubtless will he hopelessly ruined. Nor will the loss fall wholly upon those who are directly scourged; but every citizen will be an indirect sufferer in tho de preciation of property and tho derange ment of business. Besides numerous out buildings every store on the North'side of Rus sell street from Lightfobts toMeroneys hotel,inclusive, were totally destroyed, as well as every ono on the South side except Mr Louis* on one corner nud Mr Harleys on tho other. The entire loss cannot fall short of 8150,000 of which not more than ?20 000 seems to have beju covered by iusurauce. Tho sufferers wereAV T Lightfoot, Thus. Cnrtmill, J H Addon, F H W Briggmann, M Albrecht, J09. MeNn mara, "J W Cannon, Mrs M B Tread well, Charles Thorn, G W Baxter, [ \V A Mcroney, McMichael & Blume, M Rich, T Kohn & liro., T B Boyd, D Louis, G II Coruclsoti, Dr Oliveros Mrs.-Osteudorf, T W Alhergotti.KIrk Robinson nnd the Orangcburg News, j As we did not wish to be too prying iu the midst of so much distress, we can now only approximate the losses, leaving a more exact account fer the future. We understand that Mr Kohn was insured for $10,000, Mr Mcroney for (#,000,; Mr Lightfoot for $1500, Mr Briggmann, one half insured, Mr Cornclson und Mr McNaaiara par tially insured, ami Mr Rich slightly insured. Mr Light foot's-and Mr Rich's insur ance bore no comparison to their Ibises, which were immense. Tho others were total losers. Mcroiicys fine hotel is gone, and Mr D Louis alono lost lour stores. We understand that Mr McNa nut ras insurance avails him nothing, and he is a total loser. Jt will require years for the town to recover lroiy. this stroke of fortune. (July a small portiou of the contents of the stores were rescued from the flames. It is said to the credit of the colored people that they acted nobly, and did all they could to save property In fact all, both white and colorcd,did their best. We would not discriini natein favor of any. If mistakes were made, they were made with the best intention, audit is not right now to dwell upon them. Let every emotion now be buried in sympathy for tho afllieted. The stores of Mr Harley, Mr Louis Mr Hamilton and the Times Office made narrow and lucky escapes, being badly scorched. Wc have heard ol no casualties worth mentioning. Now that all is over, wo desire to mako one timely recommendation, and that is, before rebuilding commences, for R?ssel1 street to bo widened,nt least fifteen or twenty feet. This can be easily done now as there is not a buil ding left on tho North sida from Mar ket to Broughtou street. Let the. mat ter betaken in hand at onco, before it is too late. It would also be well for more space to bo given between tho houses and stores in the future. We fear that much suffering will fol low in the train of so dreadful a calam ity,which we trust that those of us who have been spared will do our best to alleviate. COMMERCIAL.
