The Run ot Shad- Tbe fisbwardeu at Georgetown writes the department of agriculture that the run of shad so tar this year bas been greater than for any sea son in the past twenty years. Al ready 33.000 shad have been ship p*-d from Georgetown. This in crease is attributed to the latge plants ot young shad made by the department in the rivers of the State dutiug the past tew years, and also m part to the iuforoeuient ot the fish Isas. I Pardoned by the Governor. At the last term of theuCourt, Amanda Sinclair and her h< sband, two colored people, were con virted ot steaii-ig a hog from Mr. William W W nun, of Clyde, and sentenced to imprison meat in the penitentiary tor one year.

The Artesian Well Work on the Arte ian well is not prog" ssing as rapidly us was hop ed for, tin ugh the laborers are work ing faithfully. Up to the present time the depth reached ia only for ty feet. At the depth of twenty-five feet, a quicksand was encountered and a short delay was caused while the large piping necessary to keep it oft was being prepared. The heavy rains ot last week were also a hindrance, as no work could be done during that tipte. Another delay was occasioned on Tuesday when a portion ot the drill broke off in (be well. All these obstacles have been overcome, however, and work is again resumed. Burned to Death. A very old colored man, namt d George Cato was bnrned to death on Mr. Bright Williamson’s place near Doves on Monday of last week. The old man was not able to do work of any kind, aud be lived iu a small bouse all by bingfeelf, some distance from Mr. Williamson’s residence, and onite near the saw mill. On the day of the uufortn nate occurrence he come outside ol his hi use and made np a fiie some distance oft of the ground. It ia thought that he lay down iu front of this fire and took bis last sleep, for on seeing flames asoeudiog from that direction Mr. Williamson went te the spot to fiud the old man burnt to death. He was literally burnt to a ertsp, and the body was so disflgaied that it was almost im possible to realise that it had ones Mto the haafe of a hasten being. The Thorne Troupe. Mr. J. H. Thorne finally succeed ed in reorganizing his troni* ami played “Bast Lynne” here on last Thursday night aud “The LtuUl u Hand” on Saturday night. The troupe is a good one, tmd we sin ccrely hope that with it Mr. Thorne will meet *ltb the suem-ss that his pluck, perseverance, aud good uc ling deserve. He has certainly phjed in bard lock this season. The company left for Geoigetoau on Monday. Palmetto Righted. Messrs. G. G Lynch, J. F. Divine aud Capt. J. B.

The Florence Rifles together with about dve hundred citizens were in waiting at the de pot. The distinguished travelers stood on the rear platform of their car, and bowed gracefulljPto their many admirers. Mr. Cleveland ia unquestionably an able President, and is deserv edly popular with the masses, bat, when h comes to beauty a 1 must admit that Mrs. Cleveland takes first place. She ia charming.

When the TimmouavUle A Lydia Tramway was first organized, a number of persous took stock iu it, among whom was Mr. Manuel Marco, who subscribed $5,000. Various loans weie negotiated on the tai h of the book* of the com pany, one of which was arranged with Mai. J. L. Coker. The com pany subsequently failed, and after its failure held a meeting at which for come reason a resolution was passed re-leasing Mr. Marco from the payment ot $3,500 of his subscription, the re maining $1,500 havi.ig b-eu al ready paid np by him. Suit was brought against the company lor the amount due Maj. Coker, aud judgment was obtained, but there could not be found sufficient assets with which to satisty it. Suit is now bioughi ag dust Mr. Marco iu a case euiill* d, C. S. Nettles, Re ceiver, vs. Manuel Marco, and a heating was had before T. H. Spain, Esq., Refeiee, last week. Eight witnesses were examined, but the arguments were postponed for some Inture day. Col. B. W. Edwards represented the Receiver and Messrs. Bnyd and Brown ap peared for Mi. Marco.

The Feast of Purim During ths present week, tbe Feast of Pniiui bas been celebrated by tbe Israelites in tbe community. Last evening a Purim Ball wsa given in ths Opera House, which was decidedly the most brilliant social event of the kind ever held in Darlington, ttucb a decid'd success was it iu eve y respect that, in tutnre years, tnc “Purim Ball” will probably be one of tbe events of the season. A number of strangers were present, young ladies coming from Timmonsville, Marion and Bumter to attend. The committee of arrangements con sisting of Misses Hannah Leman, Carrie Mauue, Annie Marco and Messrs. 8. Lewntbal, 8. Weinberg, and C. Marco, deserve tbe bighetu piaise for the perfection with which all the details of the brilliant en tertainment were carried out. A fall description of the costumes ot the ladies, prepared by “one who knows” will be given in our next issue. A woid in regard to tbe nature of this important festival. It is baaed niton tbe events related in the Book of Esther, and the spe cial services in tbe 8yaagouges consist chiefly in the reading of this beautiful wtrk. By it is com memorated tbe deliverance ot the Jews in Persia fro u the evils sought to be inflicted upon them by the wicked Human, which de liverance was effected by Mordecai ant' Esther. Tbe literal meaning of the word Purim is “Tbe casting of lots,” so called because every day for twelve monihsthe lots were cast to determine the most auspi cions day for the destruction of God’s chosen people. The holiday commenced at sundown on Satur day last, aud ended at tbe s ure time ou Monday. In addition to its observance as a festival, the poor aud needy throughout the He brew world are particularly remem bered on ihese occasions. A Brilliant Reception. On Thursday night tbe handsome residence of Mr. H E. P. Sanders was ablaze with light. Chinese suterus of various color j and sizes hung iu the front of tbe building anti in the long piazza. In the ball the word “Welcome” in evergreen was placed so that every guest could see it and at once feel at home. The- rooms were tastefnlly decorared with evergreens and living flowers arranged with rare artistic skill, the work of tbe hos ts s, w hose success in such matters is no well known in the community. The pai lor on the right was used as the reception room, while iu that t>n the left the handsome presents of i he tn ide were displayed. Tbe occasion was a reception given iu honor of the marriage ot Mr. W. M. Hayuesworth to Miss Ammie Sanders of Sumter County. A collation was served during the evening alter which there was music. In bidding good night all present feltt that they had enjoy ed the most pleassnt and successful social event oft he sea-ou, and many were the good wishes that the liie ot the fair bride in (bin her new home might long continue as bright as was her introduction to those who will be her friends aud neigh bors here. * Honors For Florence According to apppiutment the examination tor to All tbe vacancy at West Point came off on Friday, the examintrs being Mr. R. W. Boyd aud Professors Gruber of dariou anti Dys nger of Conway. Eight applicants presented them- selves, one of whom, however, was reject* d by Dr. Evans, tbe medical examiner, at tbe outset, on account of his being below tue required age. After tbe examination bad been concluded, au inspection ot tbe papers showed that tbe honors on i bis occasion had fallen to Flor ence, Mr. G. D. Miller, a son of Dr. Miller, having attained tbe highest mark, something over eighty. Mr. James G. Baker, of Marion, wasae- j oond, but bs sas so closely follow- i ed by Mr. Hartwell Spain, of Dar lington, that it was with difficulty that the examiners were able ro de cide between them. Mr. Miller ia a Ulfnteu young man, and we trust that be will be as sboceasful in overcoming the rigid examination Why will you pay $5.50 for a one- day clock when yon can get au 8 day for $5 00 at 8trozers the Jew elers. His shop is at MclYer’a trout window. The Hartsville Railroad For y ears past there has been talk of a railroad from Darlington to Hartsville, bat so decided has the t dk become within the past tew weeks, that we do not hesitate to predict that by another February the hoars j voice ol the “Iron Horse” will re-echo throughout forests where it has Lever been heard Ire- fore, as he plunges past Early’s Cross Reads on towards the west While all eflorts on tbe part of the newspa|ier scribes to trace the scheme to some authoritative source have proved fruitless tbe enthusiasm with which tbe idea has been re eeived by some of the most sub stantial business men in Darling ton cannot tail t« impress one with the conviction that it is one which wdl shortly bear fruit. This statemeut is borne ont by the fact that au advertisement ap pears in the present issue calling for subscriptions to the stock of tue “Darlington and Hartsville Railroad Company.” The names signed to this call arc sufficient evidence of the fact that there is something iu tbe talk which has been going around. By the terms of the advertisement u will be seen that the road will be begun as soon as $20,000, iu shares ot fifty dollars each, t-hall have been subscribed, aud that books for receiving these subscriptions are now open at Hartsville, Bass’ Store, Esriy’s Cross Roads, and at tbe Bank of Darlington. The only trestles necessary for the road would be oce across Indian Branch, jnst at town, aud another across Swift Creek, between Bass’ Store ami Hartsri le, tbe iattt-r of which could scarcely be termed a trestle, so small and insignificant is the stream at that point. The road is so level all the way that the grad ing would amouut to little or noth iug. Aitogeiher it is believed by those who have taken tbe (rouble to mveatigate ihe matter that the •alire line of road aud side together with the necessary side tracks and rolling stock oonld be built for the sum of $bO,OUD. Tbe general disposition with those most interested ia the pro ject seems to be that tbe line should run as follows: From Darlington to Early’s, a distance of about flve miles aud a quarter; from that point to Bass’, about foot miles and a half; and from thence to Harts- ville, which is about four mies and a half, tbe entire distance being something less than thirteen miles. By this roots Lydia would be only four miles irom the road at its near- est point, to wbieb place, or in any other direction which the people of the neigborhood might desire, spurs oonld bn ran onee the Dar lington sod Hartsville road has been established ae a ancle os. A Mew Base Ball Association- Tht- mt-uibera of the Darlington Bis>‘ Bill Association held a meet ing in Mr. W< F. Dargan’s office on Friday night. It was decided te dtsiMind the old Association and to form another, on a somewhat dif lereul plan, for the approaching season. Ths lands in the bauds of the Association were then distri- bated, when it was found that the dividend was qnife a handsome one, three dtfllsrs ami aixty cents being turned over to the stockhold ers tor every dollar which they had contributed. On motion it wa« de cided to form a new Association with a capital stock of ten dollars. It is promised to hire two prufea siouals, and to enter the State Lea gue, which is will probably be com posed of dubs from Charleston, Columbia, Greeoville. Sumter and Anderson. The grounds will be put iu better condition, aud the grand stand sud fences will be ar ranged mere elaborately, with a view to the lucreatted comfort anil convenience of the spectators. Stock to the amount of $35U was im mediately taken by the few present at the meeting ou Friday night, and Irom the present indications it is highly probable that the remain der will be subscribed daring tb« coming week. The plan as projected ia an ex celleut one. About the middle of the summer things become pretty dull all over the State, there being little either of business or pleasure to occupy one’s time. The people of Darlington will derive both from ths pro|M>sed (dan, if it is put into execution. Excursion trains will be run to Darlington from all parts of the State, aud those who aietorced to stay at home on ac count of a lack of means, will be given some pleasant entertainment, besides being afforded an oppor tunity of taking a number of eqjoyable'rips at a trifling cost whenever our club has to meet its engagements with Charleston, Columbia, Greenville, Snmter or Anderson. Oar people have al ways manifested the greatest inter est in “the National Game”, and out he occasions ot the contests here the grand stand will be crowd ed. The absence of the local rival ries which were necessarily engen dered last season between tbe va rious clubs tbiougbout (he County will remove much of tbe unpleas antness which attended the games, and we predict that those of the present year will afford nothing but pleasure and amusement to oar peo le. By all means let ns have the Darlington Base Ball Associa tion, provided it is organi. ed iu ac cordance with the plan proposed.
