I?. Alien. A brief notice last week told the sad story of Mr. Alien'* suicide.; His mind had been in ,j an unsettled condition for the last eighteen months, and a watch more or less close had been kept over bis movements for some months .past, for, atomes;;he/manifestec( a suicidal tendency. At one tuce he took poi son and was only saved by "the prompt ad ministering of .emetics. After, Mrs. Allen's death, last December, the watchful care was necessarily somewnat relaxed; but he was still looked after. Monday, the 16tb; he was left alone inMbe bouse for & few moments, and finding a small bird gnu belonging to bis grandson, Leigh ton Allen, he hastily loaded it, and walked down the fronVsteps. Just then Leigh ton saw him from the back yard and hastened to wards bim, but the old man kneeling down withtbe breech of the gun on the ground and the muzzle at his temple quickly fired and discharged the entire load into his brain. Death was almost- instantanr-ns?the pulse beating but a few moments afterward. The verdict of the Coroner's Jury was in accordance with? the above facts. . Mr. Allen was" in bis 73d year. He was well-known around Providence and Raftoo ?reek as a - successful farmer, and his Home was a permanent .abode of a" generous hospi tality: " ; ' - He was one of the first to volunteer for ser vice in the late war, and * though over age," was one of the bravest and best of soldiers until peremtority sent home by the surgeons because of ill health. His wife died a few weeks ago, and he has quickly followed her to the shadowy land. Religious. Rev. W. W. Mood will preach in the Meth odist Church next Sunday morning, the Pastor, Rev. E? F.

This body held a meeting accord ing to appointment.last Tuesday night and made some progress towards. a complete or ganization, To addition to listening to some good speeches on the Tariff. T. B. Fraser, Esq., for protection and Marion Moise, Esq.1 for a low tariff, gave the audience strong ar guments in favor of their respective sides, our regret being that the audience was not larger to bear such good addresses. . To-night being the time appointed for the address of Gen Youmans, a committee consisting of Maj. M. Moise, H F. Wilson and J. S. Hoghson was appointed to receive the distinguished speaker upon bissnxrivaf in Sumter. '" The Association adjourned to oipet at Col. J. S.

The - 1st Tuesday in May was set apart as the day for the next business meet ing, and by that time, the Executive Com mittee will have the reading room in good running order. Snow in March. The snow last Tuesday night was a big thing. In the upper part of the State it was from 9 to 14 inches In depth, and even in Sumter it was 2 or 3 inches. Sunday night there was another light snow fall. House tops were all white on yesterday morning. What does it mean? More Stealing. The stable on Rev. Jas McDowell's place about two miles below Sumter was broken into last Friday night and a mule stolen. Tracks indicated that two persons were en gaged in the robbery, both coming from the direction of Sumter?one riding and the other on foot?and that they returned to Somter, both riding. Saturday the mole was found in town with a bridle on, which was also stolen from th? stable. 189 Kate. Mr. Forman McEachern had a rat-killing last Wednesday in his barn at Catchall that was a wonderful success. Mr. W. P. Weldo'n was M.-tster cf Ceremonies, and was better than a weasel in destroying- the rodents. If we ever have a rat-killing we want Willie to take charge of the frolic. The varmints measured nearly two bushels when they were carted off for burial. They were of tremen dous size, many of them being larger than cat squirrels. ? I I ?m Why Is It ? The gun wbicb was used in firing salutes last November, on the Monumental Square, still holds the tort.* We think it would con duce to the welfare of the gun to have it re moved and put under shelter, as we may need it again in '88 to make another racket. What is everybody's business is nobody's business, 6o we would?saggest that the gal lant Commander of tb? S. L. I. take charge of, and give our Stimter artillery a shelter.

The wife of the miller at Swimming Pens has been quite successful in treating hogs with cholera, and it might be well to learn her treatment. Golden "Wedamg.

At the wedding.festivities, there were only eight children of the happy parents and five of tbe fifteen grandchildren. At the dinner, toasts were drunk and responded to by tbe "members of the family, and Miss Edith Ryt tenberg, a seven year old granddaughter, of Oakland, CaL^recited a congratulatory poem written by her mother. Tbe grandchildren presented their grandparents with' ? group of their pictures framed in- gold, and mounted on a handsome- easel ; tbe children of the happy couple gave them valuable presents m diamonds and gold ; while telegrams aud let ters from friends all over the country, and beautiful floral offerings from those in town, were received ic great numbers.

Call on him when you visit Charleston. We invite the attention of our readers to tbe advertisement of Messrs. McLoy, Rice & Co.

I suppose some theof ebony race have not obiained a lien, and tbey expect to lean upon tbeir neighbors, but we intend to thwart them. Tbe chicken thief recently captured appeared to be a fire-eater also. A scene rarely witnessed in a trial justice's office oc curred at her trial. She refused to hear tbe charge read, swearing vengeance against her prosecutors, and saying that fire could burn. She is not impaired in mind.

Corporeal punishment should be inflicted in such cases ; imprisonment tbey care noth ing for.

We had the pleasure of hearing a fioe dis course on last Sunday from Mark ix : 23: h"All things are possible to him that be hieveth." He dwelt upon the failure of the people to grasp this belief; he insisted they should set o?t with the full determination to succeed, and success would crown their efforts; he fully satisfied the most obstinate hearer.that the fault was bis if he did not ac cept fhe' belief. Mr. Guerry said it gave him much pleasure to meet this congregation, for it was intimately associated with his youth and the past.

" Eczema is ODe of tbe ugliest and most trou blesome of all blood diseases. It proceeds from bumors in the blood which are some times very difficult to eradicate. For five weary years Mr. J. D.
