Mr. Editor.?It was our pleasure to attend on last Wednesday evening 26th inst. the marriage of Mr. Chas. H Baker and Miss Battr- Fort, daughter of Capt. W. H. Fort, at the Baptist Oburch in Mayesville, Rev. W. P. Smith performing the ceremony. Promptly at 8 o'cTbck, while a beautiful wedding march was being played by Miss Annie Scarborough the contracting couple en tered,-preceded by Mr. G. G. Rowland and Miss Janie Scar borough-, Mr. Jos. B. Mayes and Miss Annie Weeler, as attendants. The church was beautifully decorated, and long before the hour arrived, was filled to its utmostcopacity, there being some unable to secure seats. At th? conclusion of the ceremony the happy couple with a large number of friends returned to the residence of Capt. Fort, where an elegant supper was spread. After supper tbe parly- rep*ired to tfee parloc-where -maay j pleasant boors, were passed. The^-jr ,eois received ^weretotb. nomerone and band?ese? among "the most valuable, were tjgK^goW spooos with initials engraved on bandle. The bride was one of Mayesvilie's most popular jroung ladies, aod tbeir maoy friends wish them a Jong aod happy life. .. c t Death. ?... _.. Miss Adda Fraser, second daughter, of j CaptL. L. Fraser, of M?chanicsb?rie, died on last Thursday after a snort illness/ and was buried at Hepbzibab Church on Friday. Dr. Edmunds conducted the services. "Out of Sight." We bave heard varying opinions expressed relative to tbe piay above named, rendered on tbe boards of our theatre last week. Some praise it, aud some vsay it was very poor. Some saw no indecency in it, and some did. The piece de res?tatt?t of tbe performance was, we understand, the momentary appearance of a woman clad in flesh-colored tights, about whom, after this brief exposure, a cloak was thrown. But, all the way through, from first to last; we are informed, unchaste sug gestions by means of lascivious gestures,- - and voluptuous postures and movements, we're^ lavished upon tbe audience. In a word, the whole thing was indecent, and if snch expo sures of tbe person, male Or female, were made any where except on the stage, the persons making them would surely be arrested and arraigned before the police court. The ques tion is does the fact that tbe stage is taken as tbe place where snch indecencies-are commit ted, alter io any way the fact of their indecen cy ? How can it? ? , Would any modest womfirf'conseot to be seen witnessing such an exhibition anywhere except on tbe stage? Would she consent to. witness it anywhere, whether she were seen or not? If she would not, why should she witness it on the stage? She bad far better keep away from such places, and if there be doubt as to the character of tbe play to be rendered, she had better solve the doubt on tbe safe side of modesty. As to the particular play io question, we bave Siva io one o?our exchanges, that it is to be given ovfer^again in Greenville, but thai ti. e scen t alluded to above ? to be ommitted. This carries its own evidence with it of bow it was regarded in Greenville. We look on such plays as designed and calce la ted to debauch and depave tbe morals of tho??e wbc witness them. Every man and, woman who bas respect for virtue, purity, and decency, owes it to himself and herself, and to their children/ to resent tbe indignity thus sought to be put upon them, aud one of tbe surest ways of securing decent and res pectable plays in our theater, is to refuse to go there unless assured that tbe proprieties are not going to be violated. God knows there is quit* enough depravi t v la our midst already." Quite enough " dram drinking, gambling, riceisiioosut-ss, fes enng rores on the t?ody social. cancerous ulcers eating out the manhood, the honor, tbe nobiltyof our men, dragging them down to the low level of jhose on whom human law has set its stigma of shame, and from whom society seeks to pro tect itself by the ban of exclusion. That vice, covered up under the guise of amusement, gilded and made attractive by the glare of the footlights, and the free use of cosmetics, should be imporUd to add to the domestic article already robust and well-de veloped, is, io our opinion, a burning shame.

Mr. Editor : Since our communication of last week nothing of special interest has oc curred in this enterprising community, unless certain mysterious meetings among the ladies might be considered worthy of note.
