A Fire Well.
After the fire yesterday, a gentleman sug-.
gested the propriety of potting a fire well in'
tfie rear of the Court House. We think the
idea a very good, on?; it would. be in easy
reach of a larger number of buildings than
any other weil, except the one on the crossing
of Main aod Liberty streets. In case cf a fire
in the Music Ball or vicinity such a well
.would be most useful. As the question of aa
improved Fire Department is now agitating
the minds of the people we make the lugger

qoentlyof late date, a portion of the side

wade; if in the day time he will try tbe mud

The State M. & A. A.-Tfce>Sumter
farmers' Association.
Dr. J. H. Forman, President of the Sumter
Association, visited Charleston last w?ek, to
meet with the State Mechanical aod Agricul?
tural Association, which be supposed would !
meet in that city in connection with tbe State t
Grange. However, be was disappointed; the
State Association did not meet as expected,
and be did not have the desired opportunity
of introducing our infant organisation to the
State body. The' visit though was not air io
vain. Dr Forman received manv encourag?
ing words from prominent men, some of
whom promised to be here at our next meet?
ing if possible.
Weexpect (if we get" the proceedings in
time) to publish in this issoe the time of the
next meeting, and also the subjects and writ?
ers of the essays to be prepared, and we com?
mence io time to ask the farmers to arrange
their work so as lo attend. The President is
doing all he can to work op a good meeting,
and we ijuink be will succeed.
Dr. Forman, in his visit to Charleston, at?
tended tbe meeting of the Grange, and we are
under obligations to bim for ranch- of the in?

The Standard Dramatic Company.
This Company played i n the Music Hall
last night in ;"My Partner." The weather
was execrable, but notwithstanding that fact,
a fair audience greeted the Company. Tbe
play was conspicuous for the deep pathos of
many of its parts,, while the comic element
cropped out occasionally, especially tfhen the
inimitable Chinaman Lee Wing, the funniest
and most comical of Celestials, was on the
stage. The acting was all. good and the
interest absorbing from the riogiog op of the
certain to its final fall.
To night, "Uncle Josh Whitecombe" will
be played. This play, from the warro
encomiums bestowed upon it by the George?
town papers will be as great a treat as was
"My Partoer'' last night ; and as the weather
is fine, there will in all probability be a large
house to witness the performance.
Very Useful.
We have received a copy of a "Diagram of
Parliamentary JEtules," by Uriah Smith, of
Baale Creek, Michigan, which is one of the
best arranged little books of tbe kind we
hare ever seen ; aod it only needs to be seen
to be appreciated. If any presidiog officer
wishes to get a book that will tell bim what
to do without having to take time to hoot
for it, let him seed 50 cents to the Review and
Herald, Battle Creek, Micbigao, for the abo'e
named book.
Indestructible Cooking Stoves.
The Wrought Iron Range Company of St.
Louis, Mo., represented by Mr. F. P. Als
paugh, of North Carolina, as superintendent,
and a number of efficient salesmen haye estab?
lished their headquarters at this place for the
sale and distribution of their justly celebrated
"Home Comfort" Cook Ranges. This com?
pany is the largest, and most extensive insti?
tution in the country devoted exclusively to
the manufacture of improved cooking appara?
tus, and their extended knowledge cf tu?
wants and needs of the people in tins re?.. set?
coupled with their well-known energy and
large command of capital, bas enabled them
to carry their improvements to such a degree
of perfection as would have been though : im?
possible a few years ago. To give an idea of
their immense business, and to show with
what degree of appreciation tbeir efforts for
the benefit of the people have been received, it
is only necessary to mention the fact that
daring last year over 15,000 of their family
size, A, "Home Comfort Ranees" were sold
in tbe four or five States in which they ope?
rated, to say nothing of the lurger sizes sold
to hotels, restaurants and other institutions
of the kind. Aod it is a fact susceptible of
the fullest proof that nothing that bas ever
been invented in tbe way of a cooking appa
tus has given such universal and complete
satisfaction, and so nearly met the wants of
tbeir customers as these ranges.
The ordinary cast stove, is rapidly becom?
ing a tbing of the past, and a person of ordi?
nary powers of observation has ooly to see
t&e "Home Comfort" Wrought Iron Range
to be convinced of their immeasurable supe?
riority in point of durability, good cooking
qualities, small amount of fuel consumed,
ease with which it is kept in good order and
the many other conveniences to which even
ibo best cast stoves cao lay no claim.
Tibe "Home Comfort Range" will be sold
only from tbe Company's wagons and pur?
chasers are guaranteed fair and honorable
treatment and ac article that will greatly
lessen tbe labor of cooking and be a coostaat
?ource of pleasure-and pride to those who
iojvest their money ia them.
A Close. Pursuit.
Lut Tuesdaymoroing Mr. W. P. Smith
went iato his cow lot at an early hoar, and
found tho gate t pea and his cow gone, A
harried investigation discovered the cow's
tracks leading ont towards the Camden road,
and Mr. Smith followed it up closely, not
even taking time to return home for his
breakfast oe overcoat. Some three or four
miles from town, he met a colored man and
pressed him into service, and a little farther
on be met Mr. Calvin Chandler who bitched
up a horse and buggy, and all three contin?
ued the pursuit. The cow's track was some?
what peculiar and could be easily detected,
and the party pushed on reaching Camden at
two o'clock, where tbe cow was soon found
ia a batcher pen all right, but somewhat
tagged, from, .herySO mile trip, lt was sap-,
posed that the thief intended t?king^th? 4
o'clock train, and Mr. Smith, with a police?
man and some others went to the Depot just
before the train was ready to start and found
the negro preparing to leave. Wheo he saw
the party after him he gave leg bail, making
a dash toward the swamp, bot was overhaul?
ed by a colored mao coming from that direc?
tion, and captured. Messrs. Smith and
Chandler returned to Suinter the same yoight
with their prisoner, who ie now reflecting
upon the mutability of human affairs, in the
County, boarding house. - . .?.?V;'
Joe'Greeo'is the'nam? of the thief, and, as
our readers will remember, he waa ooe of the
four rascals who broke jail -some weeks ago
and escaped. In fact Green was' .the ring?
leader, and made the onslaught upon' the
Jailer..
Joe has led ao eventful life, in the cow
stealing Hoe the last few months. Some
time ago Mr. Lynch lost a Urge* white boll ;
a short time after, Col. Graham lost his. .cow
and a close pursuit being made Joe was
caught on bis way to Camden wi th the ani?
mal, and be was io jail awaiting trial for this
offence wbent/he made: bis j?Scape. vThe
botcher who bought Mr. Smith's cow last
Tuesday, said that he bad bought two others
from the same scamp, the description of one
bf which tallies with- Mr. Lynch's.
We think Joe Green ought to go to the
Penitentiary for life. He can't keep from
stealing cows, and that will stop him effect?
ually. The public owe Mr. Smith a debt of j
gratitude for his energetic pursuit and suc?
cessful captu re of the arch rogos.
Proceedings cf Council.
: The Council, from an inspection of their
books, bad a profitable meeting yesterday
morning.
A colored damsel was fined five dollars for
gettiog drack and raising a row. An old
white man, who ought to know better, got
happy Saturday night, aod spent the interim
between that time aod Monday morning in
the Goard House. He was fined $3. A trav?
elling piano toner, who makes it a rule to
get drunk whenever be coates to Sumter, was
asked to help the town to the amount of $2.
A colored y ou th, who like the immortal
Washington, tried theedgeofhis little hatchet
upon some trees, was fined $1. He ought to
have been takeo behind the Market and
flogged. Three other offenders were brought
ap for violating the town laws ia reference to
drinking whiskey,and small fines imposed. We
will say nothing more about these last three,
as they showed a true repentance of their
drinking habits by severally subscribing for
the Temperance Worker oo the spot.
