The spirit took its flight without a moment's warning The place left vacant by his death will not be easily filled. Though of moder ate aacans himself his band has ever been open to share bis bread with the poor and distressed. For many years he was one of the strongest pillars of Pine Tree Church, but during tbe latter years of bis life,-he was a member and Deacon of Turkey Creek Church, which was established a few years ago. He was born in Cumberland county, N." C , and removed to Darlington coanty, in this State, early in Ufa.

The county treasurer and auditor, in adjusting their books, have discovered thai, there are some 1,000 acres of land in the county, never returned to the auditor and consequently not assessed by him for taxation. Tbe owners of some of this property have receipts showing that they have paid taxes on it ?to former treasurers. In addition to thin, 182 ass have called at the treasu rer's office to pay poll-tax, but their names arc sot on the books. The fact that they called, and are considerably more, than 21 years of age. is very good evidence that they have paid the poll tax before. Tbe taxes oo the land and their polls have not been accounted for, and it is supposed that former treasur ers had a soft thing of it.?Ncieberry Herald. A Municipal Defalcation. The Savaosah Morning News of Saturday states that a defalcation amounting to about $30,000 bas been discovered in tbe office of the City Trea surer. James E. Copes. The News says the defalcation was discovered in Au gust last, and that an expert bas been at work on tbe books ever since. The trouble seems to be with the coupons, some of which have been paid twice. It is not stated who the defaulter is, bat tbe News says tbe Treasurer is of coarse responsible, and that his official bond will more than cover the city's loss. Jerseys in South Carolina. Mr. J. B.

A lady arrived in Columbia late on Thursday night and registered at Wright's Hotel as Mrs. M. D. Sims, of Union. Mrs. Sims was induced to come here by her husband's relatives and to aid in extricating him from his terrible posi tion. At about noon on Friday she visited Sims at tbe jail, where he ia still incarcerated, and bad a private inter view with him in the jail parlor for the space of three boars. At 5 o'clock on Saturday evening the Supreme Court heard argument oo the motion to reduce the bail of Sims, the Aiken Connty prisoner. Mr. David Johnson, Jr., argued for the prisoner, in favor of the redaction. He desired to aubmit an affidavit from Mrs. Sims' setting forth that she did not make cer tain statements contained in tbe affida vit upon which Sims was arrested; that she did not know of the charges said to be brought by her until after tbe arrest of Sims; that the whole affair bas been very much exaggerated, and that she desires tbe prosecution to be dropped, but Solicitor Gantt objected. Solicitor Gantt spoke against the motion and submitted a letter from Mrs. Sims, contrary to the affidavit, which Mr. Johnson desired to get in evidence and also an affidavit from Trial Justice Sootball. who issued'the warrant of ar rest. This constituted tbe introduction of new matter, and Mr Johnson was now allowed.to submit the affidavit of Mrs. Sims, foreshadowed in these dis patches, and also ao affidavit by Sims himself. After a retirement of an hour the Court refused the motion. Sims was not present in the court, room. There were not many specta tors. It is believed that if the bail bad been reduced Sim's friends would have put op the amount and allowed him to leave the State. Mr. Sootball says that Sims wrote his wife from the jail alternately coaxing and threatening ber, one of the agencies brought to bear be ing ber natural horror of giving evidence in the matter in a court room. The feel ing against tbe prisoner is unabated in Aiken. _ We understand that Mr. D. D. Bar ber, of Mayesvtlle, S. C., has sold his milling interests in that section to Messrs. London ft Campbell and has purchased tbe old Young rice planta tion, the Lyrias Plantation, near this eity, and will plant it this year. Mr. Barber will reside in Wilmington.? | Review. i mm i i ?

The Denver1 TribunT" charges tbe manager of tbe Robinson mine in Colo rado with running ore from that mine into the Wheel of Fortune, alongside in which he bad a larger interest, and bringing it to tbe surface through tbe latter shaft. The New York Sun thinks that this, in connection with tbe filching of tbe copper roof of tbe alms bouse, makes it look as though it would not to be safe to leave the Bartholdi statue out at night when it reaches New York. A psnic in roses is reported from New York, with a corresponding down fall in tbe prices of other flowers. Last autumn Roman hyacinth bulbs cost $6 a hundred, and now the fragrant spikes of white-bloom, which they have nursed into yielding, sell for only $1 a hun dred. Lillies-of-the-valley and other standard blooms are sold at almost as great a sacrifice. The growers are hoping that some chance will bring a rally in prices, but it ia feared that tbe trade will not be prosperous again be fore Eastertide. The explanation is that the scarcity of flowers in 1881, be cause of ie dry weather, pot tbe prices to the highest figures ever attained, and this in time resulted in an overproduc tion since, which is now having its effect. _ The Berkeley Gazette \n its last issue an nounce the retirement of Mr. H.

The other morning Yen nor got out of bed, ] looked out the window, and fell on his back with a gasp of amazement. The hotel peo ple heard him fall and rushed into his room. "Wbatisthematter?" they shouted. "Look!" the prophet gasped, pointing to the window. ! "Yes," tbey said, "we see, but what of it?" "What is it doing ?" be asked. "Snowing," they cried; "twentj'-two inches of snow on tbe ground in one night, and still a coming; drifts eighteen feet high, and all trains on all roads abandoned Snowing, that's what it's doing." "I thought so," the prophet said, "but then, again I feared it was a delusion. I thought it couldn't be true." "What is it?" j tbey demanded once more. "Why." said the weather trainer, "you see this is the day I said it was going to snow hard all over America, and so yesterday I sold my arctics and ulster, and traded off* my sleigh for a road wagon. Oh ! dear oh ! dear ! how was I to know it would snow this week ?" And be buried his face in bis bands and gave way to his emotions. So tbey came away aod left him alone with h s sorrow.

The other day Mr. Butler, of South Caro lina, was the only Senator present wuen the Senate was called to order.
