An old goat's life was saved by the exertions of the fire companies. The goat in question was nuder the house, and, altbougn badly scorched, would not come out until a stream of water struck bim, then he came in a burry, for a goat cap no more resist water than Tillman can a Tree pass.

Work bas been suspended during the past week on account of bad weather bot as soon as tbe weather becomes settled the boildtng will be pushed to completion. It wiU be the finest building ia this section of the State, and one that everycit'tten can be proud of. It is to be boped that the building will be ready for oc? cupancy before the warm season begins, as the present one is very crowded and totally unfit for ?hool purposes. Now~prepare to laugh, as laugh you must, as Manager Schwerin bas contracted with Ray L. Royce and bis "Tom's Vacation Co." to come here for one night only, Saturday, Jan. 30, and this Company is one that can make fun and not indulge in any rough horse play, hence it has become one of the most popular in America.

Levy, of Darlington, will be united in marriage with Miss Bmma Stiauss, of this city this afternoon at the residence of tbe bride's mother. There have been many brilliant marriages in St. Peter's Catholic Church, and the quaint old structure has often looked beauti? ful, but never perhaps has there been a more brilliant event, or bas the eld church looked prettier than on yesterday afternoon. The occasion was the marriage of Miss Mamie Comerford, the only daughter of Mrs. M. Comerford, of this city, and Mr. Lucius Bultman, a rising youg merchant of Sumter. Long t efore the hour for the wedding, 4 o'clock, every available space in the church was packed to its utmost and the lobbies were even filled. The church was prettily decorated and the nuptial knot was tied while the young cou? ple were standing beneath a beautiful wed? ding bell of white flowers suspended from an arch. The couples in waiting were: Miss Katie Monaghan with Mr. Francis Bultman of Sumter; Miss' Maggie Brennen of this city with Mr. Eugene Moses of Sumter; Miss Julie Foley of Charleston with Mr. J. M. Chandler of Sumter ; and Miss Nora Vroraan of this city with Mr. W. M. Thompson of Sumter. The wedding march was played by Miss Louise Baker of Charleston, and the ushers were Messrs. H. Swygert of this city and A. C. Keffer of Sumter. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Father Monaghan, of Charleston, assisted by Fathers Sbodler and Weden feller, oftbesame city, and Father Fullerton, of this city. The fair and beautiful young bride wore a handsome travelling costume and carried a bouquet. After the ceremo?y the young couple were^ tendered a reception at the residence of the bride's mother, and the party left for Sumter on the evening train. The young couple may in a few months return here to reside. The Slate, Jan. 14. Death. Mrs. Ruth Christmas, wife of Mr. J. H. Christmas, of Privateer, died on Thursday morning, January 14th. The funeral services were held at Bethel Church on the 15th. Mr. W. W. Ti8dale, of Columbia, formerly of this city, died in Columbia on January 9th.

The interment of the remains were made at Brick Church, on Monday afternoon, Janu? ary lltb. Miss J. Florence Hurst died at her brother'a home iu this city on Monday morning last, after an illness of several weeks duration. Miss Burst was universally esteemed by the entire community, and her death has caused great sorrow and regret. For a number of years Miss Hurst taught a private school, which was largely patronized ; her well known ability and conscientious devotion to duty, winning and maintaining the confidence of all her patrons. As a disciplinarian and instructor of younger children she had few superiors, the thorough training her pupils received being evidence or it. The funeral services were held in the Methodist Church on Tuesday afternoon. Religious - There will be no service at the Episcopal Church on Friday afternoon, owing to the absence of both the rector and Rev Hartzell. A. R Brooks who is with Ray L Royce is a great character artist and has been on the stage for 22 years, hence, all he does ha3 a finish to it. Extraordinary Jumping Feats. The jumping and pole vaulting feats -of onr contemporary athletes seem but the work of babies and pygmies when compared with the extraordinary doings cf the old time acrobats. If history is to be believed, Phayllus of Crotons could stand and make a fifty-six foot jump on the dead leveL He was one of the main athletes at the old Olympic games, his enormous jump forming a part of the coarse of the Pentathlon. Strutt, the noted English authority on games and amusements, speaks of a Yorkshire jumper named Ireland whose powers were something marvelous. He was 6 feet high at the age of eighteen, at which time, without the aid of springs or spring board, he leaped over nine horses ranged side by side, and at an? other time lightly cleared a heavy wagon which was covered with an awning. Colonel Ironsides, who made a voyage from England to India early in the pres? ent century, relates that he met in his travels an old white haired man who, with a single bound, cleared the back of an enormous elephant, flanked on cither side with six camels of the largest breed. -St. Louis Republic An Amusing Mishap. On last Friday night the train for Columbia met with a mishap that was as amusing to those unconcerned, as vexatious to those on the tmin and the railroad authorities. When the train pulled out from the depot, instead of proceeding on the main line to Columbia it went full tilt down the M. & A. branch, the switch happening to be set wrong. The mis? take was not discovered by anyone on the train until they got away down in Priraieer, the brakeman yelled "Wedgefield," and the peo? ple got out to find themselves in the woods. The only thing to be done wa3 to return to this place, and this they did at a snail pace with one maa walking ahead and another behind with lanterns to signal any approach? ing train, as the regulations prescribe. It required about two hours to make the return trip. In the me.in time the train dispatcher at Wilmington was on bis head to know what had become of the train. He telegraphed Sumter to know if the operator was positive the train had left, then be would telegraph to Wedgefield to inquire if the train was in sight. He kept telegraphing back and forth until the train turned up. His state of mind over the disappearance of the train be? tween Sumter and Wedgefield, a distance of ten miles, can belter be imagined than de? scribed. The C. S. and N. Rail road in the Hands of a Beceiver. BALTIMORE, January 16 -Special to the N~vws and Courier-Authentic information is given that Judge Bond appointed a temporary receiver of the Charleston, Sumter and North? ern Railroad this morning. The receiver was appointed on a bill filed in the United States Circuit Court for South Carolina by Alfred A. Howlett. The tempoiary receiver appointed is Mr. Charles E. Kimball, of New York. This news is not unexpected in this city as rumors of a receivership have been rife for sometime past. The road owes a number of accounts in this city and it is not known yet how those to whom it is indebted will fare.
