See advertisement in another column. Don't be old-fashioned enough to speak of a verbose man as a "gas bouse." Refer to him as an "electric, light generator." "We call attention to the advertise ment of the Columbia Register in another bolumn. 'IJho Register is the besfc paper ever,published at the cap ital, and we want to see it well sus tained by our people. Several of our young men left town bn Wednesday to join some friends in the neighborhood of Hilton, on a fox hunt. We trust they may have a pleaoant time and return with no broken necks. We have been requested by a com mittee, appointed for that purpose, to publish bur remarks made before the Pomona Grange at their meeting on Saturday lust. We will comply \n the next issue of The Democrat. The members of the Orange Light Dragoons will assemble at the com pany's rendezvous on Saturday, 18th instant,, at 11 o'clock) A. M. for the purpose of ejgcjjn^g a Third Lieuten ?"'^tfgt' fillav~tT^uaactr7i^"Other business. N. N. Hayden* Captain. J. K. B., of the News end Courier, reporting the unusually cold weather which prevailed here during tho ear ly part of the week, writes : 4'Ice in some places has feVnved over three feet thick we woudcVif the reporter did not mean to write 'Meugth" for "thick." Icicles that length arc pos sibfe even in this climate. ^An old lady, recently in Ohio, willed her local paper one hundred 'dollars. That old lady's chance of heaven is very good* but ir a person wislies to make ? sure thing of a hap py hereafter the amount he or ahe leaves to a newspaper should not be less than $10,000. Now is the time to make up wills for The Democrat. On Tuesday afternoon there was quite a stir on the street over an es caped bull from the butcher's pen. The frantic animal', maddened by pain, rushed into Mr. J. C. Pike's wagon yard to the great consterna tion of tho boys, darkies and horses. " He was fortunately killed before any damage was done. Two colored men on Monday eve ning got into a quarrel which came bear being a serious matter. One received a heavy blow upon the head with a piece of iron which inflicted a severe wound. The man was felled to the ground and remained senseless for some time. The other party was taken in charge by the police and lodged in jail. Notwithstanding the large quan tity of fresh goods daily added to the btock of Mr. J. C. Pike, his largo sales make it necessary to continue and increase the arrivals. With an efficient corps of polite clerks this establishment has continued to grow in public favor until to-day Mr. Pike ranks among the leading mer chants among the leading morchants of our favored town. We have been ibforraed that the bridges across the river and swamp bear this place, are undergoing re pairs by Dr. T. A. Jones, of the Fork. Persons will be able to cross during the morning and evening of each day of the present week. On Wednesday and Thursday, however, of next week, travel will be suspended, ns Dr. Jones proposes to have the bridges torn down and their founda tions repaired. Our country friends from that side will do well to note the suspension; Cait. H. Lt. Farley has retired from the editorship of the Carolina Spartan, and Hon. Charles Petty lias become tho editor and proprietor of the paper. Mr. Petty is a gentleman of ability, and tho Spartan under his mnuagement will become ouo of the leading journals of the up-country. ~^On Monday last, salesday, there was a multitude in town and many an old horse and mule changed hands for bettor or worse, tho prices of which ranged all tho way from 40 cents to 40 dollars apiece. Trade in Pop-skull was bri.sk and no doubt the big-head was a general complaint in Orangeburg county on Tuesday. Ocn readers will not forget that Mr. A ugust Fischer continues to hold forth at the 'corner. A progressive merchant, just and fair in his deal ing, his store is always crowded with customers, as well as the best mer chandize in every line, and his sam ple room in the rear?well everybody knows what is in there. The auc tion house is a complete success. Mit. Theodore Kohn continues to drive a thriving business. His Dry Goods' Emporium is an established institution of Orangeburg made so by a series of years of fair dealing on a cash basis and small profits. Every thing in his line, and of the best qual ity, may be bought at 25 or 50 per cent, lower than ever offered before. Don't forget to give him a call. The Board of County Commission ers were in session this week and paid off a largo amount of tho old debt by the bidding process. It is a pity the Legislature did not let the law stand, as in two or three years the county would have been out ol debt, and paid cash for all its needs, thus cheapening county work, and lowering the taxes to a gi eat amount. Rev. W. R. Richardson.?Tho Southern Christian Advocate, of last week, saj's: "We learn that Bishop Wightman has transferred the Rev. Wm. R. Richardson, of the South Carolina Conference, to the Pacific Conference, and stationed him at Stockton." Mr. Richardson was sta tioned in our town during last year, and made many friends among us, and will carry with him to his distant field of labor the best wishes of all our people. Wk aro glad tn .learn, that, thflu. Young Men's Christian Association have recommenced their debating so ciety. If properly attended this fea ture will prove of incalculable advan tage to the young men of our town. These are cordially invited to be pre sent and to join in the exercises, thus making it a mutual benefit to all. We trust the debates will grow in inter est, and? the movers will feel encour aged to 'continue its existence. We learn that Mr. J. W. Moseby, recently with Mr. J. C. Pike, will cpen a store in ten days or two weeks at the stand lately occupied by S. E. Tobin & Co., on Railroad Avenne. Mr. Mosely's experience* business turn and popularity are- guarantees sufficient to predict success in his new venture, while his known integ rity of character will increase the confidence of the buying public. We certainly wish him a long life and a prosperous career. Southern Sun?ic?L Institute.? Extraordinary opportunity for the diseased and deformed. Dr. J. W. Gurley, principal Surgeon of this justly celebrated Institution, will visit Orangeburg on the 15, 16 and 17 of this month, and can he lour.d at Mcroney's Hotel. Ho will come prepared to treat diseases of the Throat, Nasal Catarrh. Female Dis eases, Piles and Fistula?, Indolent Ulcers, Tumors, Cancer, Hare lip, Club-fccr, Spinal Disease, Paralysis, Kidney Diseases, and Private Dis eases that can bo cured or benefited. As the time of this visit is limited, thoso desiring treatment should come in on the first day. For further in formation, address Dr. J. W. Gurley, Southern Surgical Institute, Atlanta, Ga, Tho following officers were install ed to servo in Sliibbolelii Lodge, No. 28, A. F. M., for the onsning Ma sonic year : W. M., Gen. Jas. F.

Heidtman ; Tyler, J. A. Zeigler. Committee on Charity?Josiah M. 15inu.son, Dr. A. S. Hydrick and Dr. J. G. Wannatnaker. This is ono of the best working Lodges within the jurisdiction of South Carolina, and the Masonic reputation of the new officers warrant us in tho assertion that tho time honored principles of Masonry will not suffer in their 1 bands. Careless Handling oi-" Mail Bags. Tho postofllcc, department has issued a circular calling the attention of postmasters, wail contractors, &c., to the careless and reckless handling of United Stales mails oft so-called "star routes" between points not uni ted by steam communication. This circular complains that tho mail bags are often exposed to the weather,used by passengers iu stages for seats, and carried on horsoback when they can be properly transported only^ in wheeled vehicles, and by such care lessness aud beglect their contents are frequently reduced to a mere pul py mass. Tho department warns contractors that a repetition of these offences in.lho future will be known to the law, and notifies postmasters that a failuro to report such delin quencies^ contractors will ^subject them to.ceneure or dismissal. ? We do not pretend to say wo arc old?indeed we are bot, but in all our experience wo have never felt colder wcalhcr than this prevailing now. Last Saturday we were on the road at nine o'clock, and from Or a'ngebtirg lo Sncll's was a solid pave ment of ice, and all the comfort we had on tho passage is due to the fore thought of our companion, a veteran of a colder climate, who improvised a stove cf seasoned plank nnd cloths that answered all the purposes of that very necessary piece of household furniture during the entire day. At Snell's wo metrn cheer that Grangers only can give, that warmed our hearts and armed us for the return trip. The Democrat met many friends ami supporters whose faith was shown by their works, as the long list of cash subscribers obtained there will attest. We call the attention of our read ers lo the commbnication of "A Farmer," in another column. It is an expression of opinion from one man, but opens a subject full of in terest lo every farmer in the county. The present prices of cotton and la bor will force the issue upon our agricultural communities sooner or later, and there is no better time to discuss the question than the present. Every one is making his calculations Vor the coming crop' .season and very naturally desires to know what his neighbors think about all questions concerning his -interest. Tho col umns of itbo Democrat j.aro open to our farmers, and we invite communi cations uporTftns subject and alPotu^ era affecting tho material prosperty of our people. We learn that our young townsman Mr. W. J. DeTroville, Jr., lately elected by the trustees of the State Agricultural College, attached to the Claflin University, to the chair of Mathematics, is now in the] discharge of tho^luties of that position. The colored people are citizens of South Carolina, and the Democratic party is pledged to educate them. This must be done by our own citizens and no class seem belter fitted for the duty than our educated young men. If it be left to others we may expect the virus of Radicalism to infuse it self throughout the entire colored population for generations to come, destroying effectually every hope of uniting the two races upon any basis of identity of inlerest nnd sowing the seeds of discord to poison the political future particularly of Or angeburg county. We congratulate the board of trustees in securing the services of ono so eminently qualified for the position as Mr. DcTrcvillc. Salmon for the Kdisto.?On Tues day a telegram was received by the Hon. S. Dibble and Gen. J. P. Izlnr of this place, that Mr. Hamlin would leave Columbia on the evening train with five thousand California Salmon to be deposited in the head waters of the Kdisto at Orangeburg. Accord ingly Capti Dibble, with his usual energy nnd zeal for tho public good, made every arrangement for the safe transportation of tho fishes from the depot to the river. At six o'clock Mr. JIamlin, the messenger, brought tho young fishes safely iu large tin cans and in fine order from tho hatch ing bouse at Baltimore. They were conveyed to Ihe river and carefully placed therein by Capt. Dibblo with the assistance of our veteran fisher man, Mr. Joseph P. Harley, and his 8on, Wm. L. Harley. Jake Govan, S. D., at the rerjuest of Hon. A. P. Butler, Fish Commissioner for South Carolina, made the arrangement and was present at tbo rivor. Tho work of depositing the fish in the water I was accomplished by 9 o'clock P. M., And Mr. Hamlin took the next train dowh for Charleston to arrange for placing five thousand more Iii the head waters of Cooper River. These fishes were presented to our State by Fish Commissioner of Maryland, nnd were hatched under his supervision at a house for that purpose in Balti more.1 Sd securely wore they sont and taken cure of, that not more than half a dozen wore found dead out of the live thousand. The little fellows, following tho instincts of their na tures, endeavored to stem the cur rent but were yet too weak and Sought shelter near the shore. It is said this fish, like the shad, lives during the summer in salt water, but will return in early spring to the very spot where they were first de posited to spawn ; so wo may expect in a few years that salmon fishing will be ns profitable as that oi tho shad, and more so from the fact that the} are u superior fish. The thanks of our com munity are due Commissioner Butler for tho prompt delivery of tho por tion of Maryland's present intended for our waters. The Pomona Grange of this county met at Snell's Lodge room on Satur day last. Notwithstanding the cold ness of the weather, there was a good turn*out of both gentlemen and ladies, and the occasion was a most enjoya ble one. These social gatherings is one of the leading features in the Grange system and the results are most satisfactory and beneficial in communities where tho meetings are punctually attended and tho Grange properly utilized. Practical farmers, with their wives, meeting from every qunrter of the county camot but in crease the zeal of the farmers and be profitable to his [interest. It is ob served that the most progressive sec tions are those where the Grange is properly cared for and this, we opino, will always bo found to be true. On this occhsion a *mo&t bountiful and delicious dinner was provided by the Grangers which was duly considered by every one present. After a few hours of conversation and joke-crack ing, the crowd broke up, yet slow to leave the place where such warm cheer prevailed. Court.?The Court of General Ses sions convened hcie on Monday last, His Honor Judge Hudson presiding. Both the grand and the petit juries were on hand, the first time for seve ral years, properly drawn and organ ized and ready for business. The [docket, especially criminal in very heavy and Judge Hudson, in view oi the labor before the Court, delivered a most excellent and compiehcnsive charge to the grand jury, instructing them minutely upon every point. In jleed the Judge is precise in every thing he undertake.;, and has exhibit ed, even in these first few davs of the ?ertn, many qualifications which show that his election was a judicious one. Notwithstanding the effort made, both by the Judge and Solicitor, Col. W. J. DeTrevilie, progress is slow, [and up to Wednesday night seven teen true bills were reported by the [grand jury. On Tuesday the case of the State vs. Jacob Bowen, Wick Bowen, white, Ned Anderson and Ben Moses, color ed, occupied the entire morning. The jury rendered a verdict of guilty of riot against all the parties. In tho evening Win. Hoggins and jCtesor Cordes were arraigned for grand larceny. The trial was had Ion Wednesday when the jury return ed verdict of guiity. The State vs. Louis Heins, colored, burglary. Verdict guilty. The State vs. J. Anderson Tyler, indicted for the murder of John Dav is will be tried on Tuesday next. 2tliir*i*iecl. On the 3tst ultimo., at the residence of I the bride's mother, by Kt:v. J. P.
