He discovered the fire only in time to save his mule, but lost his corn, 250 bushels, and all bis fodder. It is to be regetted that this misfortune should follow immediately upon the trouble in which Mr Cato has been involved with the late election, and every effort should be made to ; discover and punish tbe incendiary if the fire was, as it is thought to be, of inceudiary origin. m^m ?

Mr. McDonald Furman has returned from the State fair, slightly worsted. A Mayesvilie Sensation. There was quite a flurry of excitement in business circles and about thestreets of Sumter oo Usi Monday morning. It was being whis pered aoout that a young man of good I family, whose antecedents have been all honest and high minded men with honor nniro peached, bad suddenly skipped the vicinity, leaving his business to take care of itself, and a number of creditors in the lurch. Robert P. Mayes, about 25 years of age. commenced business at Mayesvilie a few years ago, under the most favorable circumstances. He was possessed of unusual push and energy, and everybody thought he was on the sure road to success and perhaps to wealth. He was always jealous of the interests of Mayesvilie, and in working for himself worked for her. Tbe banks here have been doing business with him for the last two years, and since the cotton season set in, the president of one of them has said his business with them amounted to about $10,000 a week. He seemed to be .very sagacious aud prudent beyond his years; there never was the slightest trouble in bis accounts, and he would compare them with the bank books about once every week. On Saturday, tbe 15th, Mr. Mayes came to Sumter and drew drafts through tbe two banks?some upon houses in Wilmington, and in Charleston? his drafts were all cashed as bis credit and financial standing up to this time bad been U-. questioned. He left home on the midnight train and no one knows where he went. It has been stated that be said he had done things, from which he never could recover, and was going where no one would ever bear from him anymore. He left owing the two banks here about $4,800, which is about equally divided be twesn them, and also to his uncle, Mr. Peter Mayes, about $1,000. There are a good many other creditors, and the losses, in all, foot up about thirteen or fourteen thousand dollars. Tho two banks here stirred themselves and despatched Sheriff Carson witn a warrant of attachment. The Sheriff 9aid he reached Mayesvilie in time to preveut another creditor from satisfying a claim of $300, out of the stock of shelf goods, which he was rapidly proceeding to do. Tbe Sheriff says the property attached, consisting of the storehouse, stock, and two or three acres of :and, with improvements there on ia the town, belonging to Mr. M*yes, will go fur towards paying the debt to the two Sumter banks. This sudden and unfortunate turn in the tide of a young life so successfully begun, is a subject of much wonderment arid concern among bis business acquaintances and frieuds, and some doubt bas arisen as to whether financial embarrassment was the sole cause of his departure. It has been sa d that Mr. Mayes could have borrowed $5,000 or $6,000 at any time, in Mayesvilie, on his personal credit. A fine line of Plush goods, i.e., also, Xmas Cards cheaper than ever before, at A. China's. Reduced Freight Rates for Sumter. For several months our Board of Trade has been trying to obtain better freight rates. This we are happy to announce, h is been at last accomplished. By appointment, ?lla mon t Mose3, President, and Messrs M. G ily ttenberg, N. O'Donnell, H. P. Monaghan and W. A Brown from the Board? and Capt. R. A. Brand, Soliciting Agent of the A. C. Line, spent Monday in Willmington, with Mr.T. M. Emerson, G. F. A. After consul tation it was agreed to reduce the freight on cotton to Charleston and Willmington 5 cents per 100 lbs. and also to other ports. We will also get a reduction on heavy goods from the West, about 2 cents a bushel on corn, and 4 rents a hundred on bacon, about 5 cents a hundred on bagging and ties. Our readers are to be congratulated on this result. It means higher prices for cotton, and lower prices for corn, bacon, &c. If we ship 20,000 bales of cotton from this city, at 5 cents a hundred it is 25 cents a bale, or $4 000 in the pockets of our farmers. It being well understood that the difference in freight makes the article higher or lower, it will make our excellent market still better, drawing in more cotton, and jobbing more goods than ever. Again "we say our Board of Trade should be congratulated ou the result. Tbey are not making much noise, but they are doing their part of the work in building up our city. New Buildings. Mr. C. <F. A. Bultmao has given out his plan for a neat five room house, to be figured on. It will be located on Calhoun Street near Main, in the rear of his present residence. Mr. Geo. F. LeMasier has taken the con tract to build three cosy cottages for Mr Julius Schwerin, on the corner of Mill and Magnolia Streets. They are to contaiu three rooms besides a kitchen. Dr. A. J China will buiM, at an early day, six tenement houses. Some of them will go up on Republican Street near Washington. The architects are now at work upon the plans, for the fine house of Mr. C. T. Mason. Jr. Mr. Mason will superintend the building himself. General E. W. Moise has commenced his new residence in the northern portion of the city near his old home. The building will be a very handsome one, containing ?in all. about thirteen rooms. The interior will be finished in every kind of hard wood, ash, hickory, oak, walnut, pine and cypress. It will be so worked as to show the grain of each variety of wood, and will be oiled or varnished over. Iiis beint; built under the supervision of G^n'l. Moise, by a workman from Charleston, the contrac tors here >being so precied with work that they could not undertake to finish the house by the 1st of January, being the time Mr Moise is obliged to get possession. - ? IMII ?'The Gem of Sumter." Mr. T. B. Curtis, of Sumter, S. C, has lately moved iuto his store in the Monaghan Block. 'This store is the gem of Sumter; in fact, it cannot be beuten in the whole country . Mr. Curtis is making a special tffort in hig! - grade teas, and any one going through this biauch of his business, and seeing the mat.y Japanese trinkets displaced, will almost forget himself and imagine himself, or herself, ina Japanese tea market While he pats special attention to teas, nothing in the fancy grocery line passes him. rie buys the finest goods he can find.

Henry's Minstrels. The Opera House last evening was crowd ed beyond its capacity until there was not even standing room left for anyone to witness the splendid performances of Hi. Henry's Minstrels ot 30 Stars. By far the largest and most apprec r.tive audience we have yet seen in Sumier, were ready to greet them as the curtain rose on the gorgeous and brilliant opening scene. The minstrels are exceptionally handsome men and their.elegant costumes of silk, satins and plush, sparkling with the frequent flashes of costly diamonds, presented a scene on the Sumter stage of oriental magnificence. Tbe performance from I egining to end was just 8p!enCid, and the best entertainment for 75 cts the people of Sumter have bad this year. The features of the evening we think were : the fumons musket drill hy Sergt. Cummings: the superb voice of Mr. Will G. Mack imper sonating uncle Simon in Southern life and scenes on the ievees ; the aprightly specialties of tbe end men Messrs. Fred R. Russell and James Delancy ; the marvelous mauipulaticn of the banjo by the Rowley Bros ; the splendid cornet variations of Hi. Henry himself in ' Au.'d Larg Syne," and "Way down on the Suwanee River." The tenor voices of Karl Haydn and Burt Winters, and the base of Mr. Geo. Decker were of a very high order aud finely culti vated. We enjoyed everything in tbe whole of this refined and pleasant entertainment. It would give us pleasure, if space permitted, to write about every feature, but we cannot close without a passing expression of praise of the rendition by Messrs. Lane, Haydn, Winters aud others of the overture, gems from :'The Mascot." There was not a lover of fine sing ing in tbe house who did not feel irresistably impelled by some indescribable charm to lean and listen to the last t.otes of the soul-aub duing music. We hope it will not be long before we hear again the lays of the minstrels in Sumter. The private car in which Mr. Henry's troupe travel must not be forgotten. It is a palace on wheels, thoroughly equipped for the ac commodation of all the men. It is both a dining and sleeping car, and it is elegantly fitted and furnished. The lintels on the inte rior are of exquisite carved work, overlaid with gold. The private office of Mr. Henry is a gem in itself, and is beautifully ordered in every respect. The troupe left here this morn ing for Newberry.
