The"concert of the Boston Stars at Music Hall on last Wednesday evening, April 4th, wes the best they have eTer given here, and fer surpassed anything ever given by any other company in this city, not excepting even the tar-famed Clara Louise Kellogg, and Joies Levy companies. It bsd hess bot n short time since the Levy Company were here, and the Boston Stars est med to be on their mettle, and determined to do their best. To say that their perform? ance fer surpassed that of the Levy Company hut faintly expresses tbe unanimous opinion of those who were so fortunate as to bear it. Emerson on the cornet is simply grand, and Stands No. 1 in Sumter. Mr3. Emmerson sings like an angel, Miss Brown is the most charm? ing reader who has ever been South, and Mr. King it n fine pianist.

J One of the roost notable and charming of > all the beautiful weddings which have taken * place Baltimore during this bright and fra- < grant Easter season, was that of Mr. Charles ? W. Kingman and Miss Eva Catlett at St. Paul's Church on West Fayette Street last night. By half past seven, the hour appointed for the ceremony, the Church was crowded even to the galleries, and the principal parties were on band with unusual promptness for such ? occasions. * Tbe bride was most becomingly attired in gobelin-blue silk and moire, trimmed with 1 point lace and cut-steel passamenterie, with square-neck bodice. She wore diamond orna? ments and carried La France roses and lillies of the valley. As the organ played a lovely wedding ? march, the bride approached the altar, leaning , on the arm of ber oncle, Mr. B. S. Flackney and attended by ber cousin Miss Mary Catlett < of Baltimore, who wore a pretty costume of < rose-colored cashmere and moire, trimmed < with duchesse lace, and with V-neck bodice 1 and corsagv bouquei of Mar?chal Xeil roses. 1 Then followed four ushers, Mr. Lucius Catlett, ' brother of the bride. Mr. George Savage, ' member of the Baltimore bar, Dr. Mason 1 Hundley of the Baltimore Medical College and Mr. FraQk Sinton, also of this city. The groom, with his best man, Mr. Colin C. Manning of South Carolina, proceeded from a door at the right of the altar and met the bridal procession at the head of the aisle? where he received the bride and led her < to the railing in front of the altar, the grooms? man, maid of honor, and ushers taking their . places on either side. The altar was extensively and tastefully decorated with evergreens and a profusion of beautiful Sowers, which filled the whole ' Church with the fresh odors of Springtime. The form of the service was that, of the Episcopal Church ; when thi3 was over, the procession moved down the aisle to the door, while the organ poured forth volumes of stirring music and murmurs of admiration and good wishes were whispered through the- . audience. The bridal party soon after assem- \ bled at the residence of the bride's uncle, Mr. Robert C. Burton, on West Fayette, where , congratulations were extended and good-bye ? said till the hour arrived for the departure of ; the happy couple. They were escorted to the , station by a number of friends in carriages,* j and took the congressional express for Wash? ington, where they will remain long enough ? to see the many attractions of the beautiful Capital, and then continue their journey ? southward, stopping at various points on the route. The groom, who was formerly io business here, is now one of the promising young business men of Sumter, South Caro? lina. His charming and accomplished bride comes from an old Virginia family, but has always lived in Baltimore. We are sore in her new home she will win many new friends, and predict lor this happy pair a long and prosperous married life. * From the Baltirnorean, April 7. One among tbe tansy beautiful marriages of the season took place at St. Paul's M. E. Church South on Wednesday, at 7 30 P. M. The contracting parties were Mr. Charles W. Kingroan, a prominent young merchant of Sumter, S. C., and Miss Eva Catlett, daughter of the late Thomas Y. Catlett, of Gloucester county, Va. The ceremony was solemnized by Rev. W. Il D. Harper, D. D., and was very impressive. At the appointed time the bride, leaning on the arra of her uncle, Mr. 3. S. Hackney, of Virginia, entered the church, and proceeded to the chancel amid thestrain3of Mendelssohn's wedding march, handsomely rendered by Prof. Jones. The groom and his best man, Mr. Colin C Man? ning, son of ex-Governor Manning, of South Carolina, awaited them. The bride was attired in a neatly fitting gobelin blue faille silk and moire, cut square neck, handsomely trimmed with point lace: she carried a large bouquet of La France roses and Lillies of the Valley : her ornaments, pearls and diamonds, were the same worn hy her great grandmother on her bridal day. The groom is a gentle? man highly esteemed by a large circle of friends. The Maid cf Honor, Miss Mary Catlett, of Virginia, was herself a rosebud of beauty, and wore a rose-colored cashmere and moire, cut square neck, with lace trim? mings, also a corsage bouquet of Mar?chal Neil buds and Lillies of the Valley. The ushers were Mr. George Savage, a prominent lawver of Baltimore; Dr. Mason Hundly, j Messrs. Frank Sinton and Lucius S. Catlett, brother of "he bride. A large audience as-j semnled to witness the interesting ceremony. On the previous evening a reception was held at the bride's home, the residence of Mr. R. C. Burton, to a select p??rty of intimate friends. Shortly after the ceremony the hap? py couple started for their Southern tour, via Richmond ant Wilmington : they will spend some time at both places. The bride received many handsome and useful presents. Sumter's Pension List.

Tons it seemed when the gentle spirit of M BS. LRONORA V. HARVIN was taken from earth a wa/ on the 13th Feb? ruary, '88. Mrs. Earvin was the daughter of William and Fannie Seale of Sumter County, and wife of John W. Harvin, of Clarendon. She was in ber twenty-seventh year, and bad been married but a few years. For two years im? mediately preceding her death she was a vic? tim of consumption. During all this time she bore ber suffering with that cheerfulness that marks the true Christian. In ber dying hour she realized that the final summons had comm and after sending loving messages to, and expressing great concern for her brothers and sisters-, breathed her last, surrounded by a loving mother and sister, and friends whom she had made in her new Georgia home. Mrs. Earvin's life bad proclaimed her a follower of Jesus, and in her death there was the brightest evidence that she bad gone safely to the Christian's home in glory. The body was brought from Georgia and interred in the burial ground of the Hills Church. As those who loved ber turned from the newly-made grave, it was not without hope, for she "is not dead but sleepeth," awaiting the resurrection. * * To Close Out.

Feb 22._ THE SOUTH GARGUNA PENITENTIARY BOOT Al SRI FACTORY, Had the most successful business last year of any in Its history. The growth of its busi? ness has been truly remarkable. From rery small beginnings it bas assumed almost gi* gantic proportions and its goods are found in the 8tores of almost every merchant in this State and Georgia. Its mail orders are large and parties once supplied with a Hue of its goods iatariabiy continue their patronage. Nearly six years of constant, strict attention to details, endeavoring in every inst, nee to meet the demands of consumers, tr is now reaping its reward. Bust iers in 1336 was exceptionally good and the sp:ing trade for thc present year, though orders were small, still ran ahead of corresponding time for last year. Fall business cannot help but be good and we advise our customers to place their orders early with us, that we may be enabled to deliver them at tb- time desired. We con? fidently expect to show goods the coming season equal in' finish to auy Northern Shoe in the market. If your merchant does not keep our goods, write to us direct, and we will supply you with anything desired. SOUTH CAROLINA PENITENTIARY BOOT AND SHOE FACTORY, Columbia, S. C. For sale in Sumter bv E.
