Crookedness in dewberry.
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

A Municipal 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

tbe News says tbe Treasurer is of coarse
responsible, and that his official bond

The Aiken County Monstrosity
Sends for his Wife to Get Out of
Jail.
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. _

The Denver1 TribunT" charges tbe

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. _

Professor Tice, the disguished Meteorologist
and Weather Prophet of St. Louis, has issued
his Annual National Weather Forecasts for
1883, in which, besides foretelling the weath
er for every day in the year, and clearly ex
plaining the theory on which bis predictions
are based, he gives much other information
concerning atmospheric phenomenon?the
whole designed not only to give the fade as
to the weather, but to teach the masses the
facts determining weather changes. In the
present number the Professor has a timely
article on "Comets," and also on Electricity
as "Tbe Fuel of tbe Future." In riew of the
terrible storms of last summer, bis "Notions
about Tornadoes" are specially interesting,
and his directions for guarding against their
destructive effects possess rare practical value.

Vennor's Great Grief.
From the Burlington Hair key>e.
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
