Death af Dr. G. Allen Huggins, of
Manning.
A special dispatch to the News and Courier
from Manning, March 2, says :
All Manning is in sorrow at the death of
one of her noblest and best men, Dr. George
Allen Huggins, Sr., who departed this life at
twelve minutes past 6 this afternoon after an
illness of four weeks. He was one of the
earliest settlers of the town, and one of ber
prominent lawyers, being a partner of Geo.
E. W. Moise, of Sumter. His funeral takes
place to-morrow afternoon at 4 o'clock. The
town bas suffered a severe loss, and the sor?
row at bis untimely death is universal.
Burnt to Death.
Alice, a fourteen year old daughter of Mr.
Wm. B. Norton of the Privateer neighbor?
hood, died yesterday morning from the effects
of burns received the day before while at work
is her father's field with some others of the
family. She was engaged in clearing off some
dead cotton stalks when ber clothing caught
fire from some burning grass.
Peggy Richardson, an old colored woman
living at Bloomhill had her clothing to take
fire on last Monday and wa? so badly burned
that she died yesterday.
Fire
On last Sunday afternoon Mrs. E. A.
Brown's residence, situated about five miles
North of Sumter, was burned to the ground.
Only a few articles of little value to the
family were saved. The entire contents of
the bouse, with this exception, including the
family groceries and $22 in money, w?re lott
in the flames. Mrs. Brown also lost her bug?
gy shed, her buggy harness, and plow gear
by the fire.
It is thought that the house caught on fire
from the chimney, and it was reduced to ashes
ic less than fifteen minutes from the time that
it was discovered to be on fire. The house was
insured for a small amour*.

A Di8tiguished Visitor.
Superintendent J. H. Rice came to Sumter
on last evening for the purpose of making an
address on the subject of Publfc Eeducation,
but was prevented from doing so on account
of other engagements for the evening.

he will deliver an address on to-morrow. He
visited the Public Free School.
Monte Cristo.
The Monte Cristo Company was greeted
by a large audience io Music Hall on last
evening. The Drama was well rendered and
took immensely with most of the audience.
We most say, however, that the "startling
sensation," which was revealed in the Fourth
Act, was unpleasantly startling to those who
do not favor the introduction of a scene
which smacks of a Paris Code of morals.
The Wednesday Club.
The Wednesday Club met at the residence
of Mr. Perry Moses on last Tuesday evening.
Wednesday oight was the regularly appointed
time, but in consequence of other entertain?
ments in town for that evening, the date was
changed. Mrs. Elizabeth Barrett Browning
was the author discussed. Mr. Walter I.
Harby read a very interesting and well
prepared sketch of the life and genius of the
great poetess, and selections were rendered
by Misses Dulce Moise and Claude Girardeau,
and Mr. L. W. Dick. The meeting was on
tb? whole one of great interest and instruc?
tion. Sir Richard Lovelace wa9 selected as
the subject for the next meeting, which will
be held on March 15th, at the residence of
Mrs. Mikel!. In the absence of President
Kershaw, Miss Mary H. Girardeau presided
with great dignity and grace.
A Devilish Act.
Ao unfortunate accident occurred on Main
Street on yesterday morning. George How?
ell, a colored boy in a fit of passion threw
an iron device at one of bis companions, but
the device missed its roark and struck a gen?
tleman, who was standing near by at the time,
io the mouth. The gentleman's teeth were
somewhat injured from the blow received
from the device.
Howell was arrested and placed in the
Guard Hoose, but as the injured party desired
to make no legal complaint against Howell,
be was released from custody. His parents,
however, instituted proceedings against him
and now the little chap will not be able to
sit down with any degree of comfort for a
week or more.
Colored Lawyers in Sumter.
Wa clip the following paragraph from the
Columbia Register, furnished that paper bj
their Sumter correspondent.
. Edwards & Whittaker, the negro law ?rm
of Sumter, monopolized nearly all the busi?
ness at this term of the Sessions. In about
two-thirds of the cases they appeared for the
defendants. Edwards is a very black negro,
and seems to be a man of considerable intel?
ligence. Whittaker is the famous ex-West
Point cadet who gained widespread notoriety
by his exploits at that institution. In the
case against Nancy Williams for burglary ;
and larceny, this morning, Whittaker deliv- ,
ered an eloquent address in behalf of the de- j

The Most Wonderful Cattle in the
World
Our readers who are interested in fine
stock will be glad to know that there are in
our ccun'y several of the celebrated Dutch
Belted Cattle, which bred has been denomi?
nated by the historian Motley as "tue most
wonderful cattle in the world." Mr. H. R.
Thomas, of Wedgefield has now foar head,
and has had-the breed on his fam for several
years,-so that they are now thoroughly ac?
climated. He is highly pleased with them,
and is prepared to endorse what has been said
of them elsewhere.
We copy the following description of these
cattle from the Breeder's Gazette:
"The Dutch Belied Cattle are natives of
Holland, and their breeding dates back to the
seventeenth century wheo the cattle interests
of Holland werein the most thrifty condition,
and this type and color were established by
scientific breeding ; decidedly the highest at?
tainment ever reached in the science of breed?
ing. These cattle were solely controlled by
the nobility of Holland, and they are to the
present time keeping them pure, but are not
inclined to sell or part with them. They
have a broad band or belt around their body,
while the rest of the body is black, making a
very beautiful and imposing contrast. They
are above average size, commonly known as
business size. The form is usually very fine,
and tbey are wonderfully productive as milk?
ers, combining beauty and utility in ita high?
est development.

Doggerel on the Three County
Commissioners.
Be WP? a County Commissioner,
And he w- : one of three ;
He crossed nis skinny legs together,
And laughed aloud with glee,
As he said "How are tbe roads and bridget?
It is time to go and see."
'Til take the Pocotaligo crossing,
And estimate tbe yield ;
One of yon can take the Poor House,
The other must sweep the field.
So let's go round to "Rosy's," boys;
Then buckle on our shield."
"If we find the roads and bridges ready,
We will advertise the call ;
Other officials wait to divide with us
And their number is not smalh
'Tis the farmer must economize,
If there's not enough for all 1"
Bot we cannot always calculate.
The leaders' speech was fine;
So also was the Graud Juryman,
Who going oot to dine,
Said, "This is a rascally Commissioner,"
And yanked him from bis wine.
The one who took Pocoialigo crossing,
Slip'd in the mud beside the log ;
In the "unknown depth" be floundered,
Till "Nick" mistook him fora frog,
And in great kindness to his own'
Made him Commissioner over "Pluto's"
bog.
The one who took the Poor House,
Ere ever he could toot;
His clariou call, was stricken,
Flat at a cotton stalk's root.
He never knew what struck him,
It was the Farmer's boot.
This history gives the reason,
Why, for one blessed year,
And to the blessed Grand Juryman
Whose heart had quaked with fear,
The army of sleek officials,
Quite failed to re-appear.

WEDGEFIELD, Feb. 26, '87.
The Commercial Class.
We had the pleasure a few evenings since
(opon invitation of Mr. J. D. Wilder) to at?
tend a meeting of the class ia Double and
Single-entry Book-keeeping which was or?
ganized under his tutorship some three or
four weeks back. We could not be otherwise
than gratified at what we saw and heard.
While this enterprise may be somewhat
new io our community it is certainly one that
deserves careful consideration by those of our
young men who contemplate a busineti life,
especially when we bring into consideration
the large sums expended yearly by young
gentlemen from this and adjoining counties
at business colleges for the purpose of obtain?
ing tbe preparation necessary to f?t them for
usefulness in tbe commercial or business
world.
Our visit to Mr. Wilder's class not only
satisfies us that these expenditures are unnec?
essary inasmuch as the information thus
obtained may be had at our very doors at
prices merely nominal as compared with those
charged at the business colleges in the large
cities. You have only to attend (as we did)
a meeting of his class in order to be convinc?
ed that Mr. Wilder is not only himself master
of the subject, but by careful study he bas
adopted the very best method for imparting
that information to others.

Matrimony a Science.
We had heard of the English Matri?
monial Neves, but we never before hap?
pened to see it. Wbeu seen it beggars
all description and defies caricature.
Here are twenty-two long and closely
set columns foil of advertisements for
husbands or wives. The advertisers
state precisely what they want, and at
the same time accurately appraise them?
selves. "Bachelor, age 36, good look?
ing, good appearance, very affectionate,
steady, salary about, ?150 a year,
wishes to marry a lady, medium beigbt,
rather short than otherwise, small hands
and feet, l?ring nature, good temper,
good looking or with wei? formed fea?
tures, domesticated, with nieass, age
from 18 to SO.1 'A man wants a
woman for his wife who has or will have
her first or given name only as Jane,
and has good health, with all her nat?
ural and sound teeth included.' The
ladies are equally precise. 'An attrac?
tive, handsome, young looking widow
lady would like to meet with an honor?
able gentlemanly man of high social
position seeking a wife with refined,
pleasing manners, religious principles
and unusually cultivated mind. Clara
is musical fond of intellectual pursuits,
fully capable of being mistress of a good
establishment, etc.' The fortunes of
some of the advertisers are surprising,
if the statements are genuine. One
has ?4.000, another has ?8,000 a
year. One lady bas ?250,000. Imag?
ination fails to paint the hideousness
or disagreeableness, of whatever kind
it may be, which compels a lady with
?250,000 to advertise iu the newspaper
tor a husband. One lady of large
property wants a nobleman, and she
need not altogether despair of getting
bim There is no reason that we can
see why marriages made in this busi?
ness like way should not be happy.
They cannot be so happy as genuine
love marriages, but they may be hap?
pier than marriages of mere impulse.

An interesting letter from Mr. John W.
Weeks, superintendent of DeKalb Pauper
Home :
From a feeling of gratitude and a desire to
benefit others, I voluntarily make this state?
ment. I have great reason to be thankful
that I ever heard of B. B B., ns I know what
a blessing it has been to me. I have suffered
with Bronchial Catarrh fora number of 5 ears.
Six months ago I was taken with severe pain
in right ear, which in a few days began to
discharge matter, with terrible and almost
unbearable palpitation and ali sorts of noises
in my head. In ten days after the commence?
ment of discharge and pain in my ear I began
to grow deaf and in six weeks ? was so deaf
that 1 could not hear thunder.
1 was then compelled to use conversation
tube, and it was often that I could not bear
with the tune. I then commenced taking B.
B. B., and the running of my ear ceased run?
ning in five weeks, and can now hear without
the tube. My general health has improved,'
palpitation ceased, and feel like a new being,
and appreciate the benefit 1 have received frum
B.B'.B. [made in Atlanta, Ga.] with gratitude
to God and thankfulness to thc proprietors for
such a medicine. 1 cheerfully recommend it
to all who are afflicted with deafness and
catarrh. Try it: persevere in its use and you
will be convinced of its value.

When 'Compound Oxygen' is inhaled, the
heart bas imparted to it increased vitality.
That organ sends forth the hlood with more
force and less wear to itself ; the vital cur?
rents leave on their circuit new deposits of
vital force in every cell of tissue over which
they pass, and return again to the langs for
a new supply. This isa rational explanation
of the greatest advance medical science bas
yet made.
