The draft across the Opera House when the curtain rises is something Arctic in is charac? ter.

One of them was selling a lot of butter of a very pale complexion the other day that had an odor that was much more suggestive of* leaf lard than a dairy. It was evidently an ingenious blend of but? ter and land. Constable George Ju3t Brown captured three gallons of whiskey at the C. S. & N., depot Thursday morning. This is the first cap? ture of whiskey passing through Sumter in a mooth, and our police force and the consta bles have been wide-awake too. This shows that it is not safe to ship liquor through ; Sumter.

Good Templars last Wed desday night by Rev. Walter I. Herbert, of Florence, was attended by a larger audience than the state of the weather warranted. Tbe lecture was directed to the Good Tem plan in particular, but to those who those wbo believe ia the canse of tempranee ; in general. It was au able and eloquent ex- ' hortation to the Templars to persevere in the : good cause, against all odds and all discour? agements believing that, in the end, the right will triumph, because it is the right and that evil will be swept away. Deputy United States Marshall, C. L. Emanuel, was in the city Friday. He has re? cently returned from Victoria, Texas, where he was sent by U. S. Marshall, Hunter, of Charleston, after John Tillman, a white man, who wa3 convicted of being implicated in the famous Barrett rt at postoffice conspiracy cases tri^d at the November term of the Uni'ed States Court in Columbia. Tillman was under bond for bis appearance for trial, but did not appear, but it is said that an accident and a misunderstanding was the cause of his non appearance, and it was evidently not any I desire upon his part to avoid the trial. It is further said that there are prospects of Till- " man getting a new Atrial. J i RELIGIOUS NOTES. Rev. T.

There will be a German at the old Jervey House this evening, which will be well at? tended and a pleasant impromptu affair. The Drummers are visiting Sumter in large numbers now with their samples of spring and summer goods. One of the convict guards who pass? ed through Sumter this morning, said he is a nephew of Senator J. L. M. Irby, and he "ain't" a Reformer either. There are some of the residents of Ward 2, who are complaining thu a lot of hogs have taken possession of the ward, and frequently play havoc with front yards and gardens. Postmaster P. P Gaillard, is having two telephones pot in, o te at the Postoffice,, and oue at his residence. These phones nre, of course, con' -cted with the regular Telephone Exchange. lone numbers to be published j later. Wesley Moses, colored, was before Trial Justice Wells yesterday for stealing 90 cents wor'h of cloth from the store of Ducker k Bultman. Mr. Bu it min withdrew ?h? j charge,-statir .j that he believed Moses was j drunk wheo he stole the cloth. Mr. J. E Jervey, the well-known Sumter j auctioneer h** been appointed special arction- j eer by special roaster J. E. Hagood, of i Charleston, to sell theC S. ? N. R. R , in j this city, at the C S & N , dopot, on Feoru- j ary 15. A good selection, so say we all The public would like to see that brick j crossing put down across Liberty Street from j the Postoffice, as it is a very public plate and j the muddy condition of the street makes it j very disagreeable. An attempt was made hy a housebreaker j on Friday right to enter the house of Mr. j Julian Flowers, who ?ives on Republican j Street. Mr. Flowers discovered the barglar before he had gained an entrance, and shot at ; bim several times. The negro ran as soon as the first shot was fired, aod made his escape. The Kentucky horse seller was again the at- I traction on Liberty Street Monday He sold j at auction a lot of pretty t?ood horses at fair ? prices. Where the money comes from to pay j for all the horses that are sold is a mvstery, I but they are cheap, aod the people in this j country De ver could resist the temptation to boy anything that is cheap. There was a large crowd present during the auction, but there was no distorbace. The Pythian Journal^ which is published in i Columbia by M. W.Coker,made itsfirstippear- j ance on Feb 1st. A copy has been received j at this ofice. and we find it a well arranged j and well edited paper. It is filled with news j that will interest every Pythian in the State and there are special articles of merit and in? terest. The Journal has made an excellent beginning and should be supported by the order Thursday afternoon for the second time tn less than sixty days, the rumor was current io Sumter, that the Grand Centra! Hotel, of Columbia, was on fire. Inquiry of course disclosed the fact that it waa a hoax. Why this nonsensical report is being circulated ?booi this hotel, and by whom, caonot be told, but it does seem that it is about time for this chestnut tale to cease. It does the Grand Central no good and there is no wit, nor anything smart ia it. It is said that Mr C. R. Harvio will not remove the entire plant ot his pianiog mill to Silver, but will leave a portion of the ma? chinery here, and wi)] run a large lumber yard in connection with the mill Timber will be shipped fron. : is mill at Silver to this place. Mr. 0. E. Bostick will be io charge of Hie mill and lumber yard in this city. The old Wide Awake fire engine was kept at work Monday pumping ont the water in the cellar of the Graded School, and along in the afternoon it was possible to start the fires io the furnaces. The fires were kept up all night to dry out the dampness in the building and th is morn iog the exercises of the school I were resumed. The scholars were counting on having a frolic this week, but few of them j are not glad that they will have a holiday in | the spring instead of this week. The presence of drunken men in tte Oyera House during performances is a nuisance that the public will not tolerate, and unless it oe- j curs less frequently in the future 'he people, who do not iike io be annoyed in this man will protect themselves by ceacsing to patron ize the Opera House. Twice during this ! week have performances ^een disturbed by the loud talking of parties who were under' the influence of liquor. The management ran protect themselves and the public by re? fusing o sell tickets tc persons who have previously disturb?d performances br their I drunken antics Little Herman, the three-year-old soo of: Mr. and Mrs. Victor H. Phelps, ot this etty, had a narrow escape from being severely, if not fataly burned Friday morning about 11 30 o'clock. The child was in the dir:i;g room, and was playing around the fire, it is supposed, when his dress ignited. Ile called ; for the nurse, who responded quickly ?nd found the boy's clothing in a olaze. The nurse qaickly enveloped the child in ihef olds of her own dress, aud the cook also came aud ; he two succeeded in extinguishing the fire, j While the child's clothing was burned nearly off, fortunately his body was not the least ? injured. The prompt and cool-headed work of the colored nurse saved the child. The police ran up with a crowd of ' twenty-five or more negroes who were con- j gregated in a room in the rear of Johu j Heiser's place on Liberty Street, Sunday afternoon. They were supposed to be gamb? ling, but wheo the police eotered there was; neither cards nor money to be seen. The ' negroes ran like a crowd of scared rats when they found the police were after th*ra. They tumbled over one another gettiug out of the doors and windows, for they thought that they were good for a term on the street. | The Chief of Police took the nnrues of the . crowd, but as there was no evidence that they were gambling nothing could be doue with them. Policeman P-ter Gallagher was shot in the j leg on Saturday afternoon by (?us Stanley, a negro, who was violating a city ordinance by shooting robins within the city ?units. Policeman Gallagher detected Stanley while ! shooting and ordered him to step. The negro refused to obey and gave the policeman a good deal of ''siack jaw." When the policeman started to arrest Stanley he shot him in the leg. Only a Jew shots struck hun, and he was on regular duty Saturday night. : Stanly should be pulled up short arid sent to , Columbia, for he is entirely too ready with ; bis gun.

A ?pccia! meeting of the Sumter Light Infantry was held iast night to ta;<e action in reference to the new militia law, uno>r which ail companies must be reorganized The law and the oath required of each man that enlists was laid before the Company by Capt A. C. Phelps. He then ciiled tor those who desired to enlist to come forward nm! si^n thp oath. Not a man responder!, ann the Sumter Lieht infantry then and there ceased to exist. Not a man nor officer in the Company was willing t<> bind himself, ai de? manded by thp powers in Columbia, and rather than do what they did not approve, they permitted the Company that ha? been the pride of the city for so many years, tn cease to ex ist. A committee consisting of Messrs Wm Yeadon and Jos. B. Mayes, was appointed to collect all money due the Company and pay outstanding debts. This will be done as promptly as possible and henceforth theSum ter Light Infantry will be but a memory. ? Centenarian. Ben Mitchell, an old negro from Gaillard's Cross Roads was io town Monday, who is a coriositv, for he is, or claims to be, 111 years old He belon/ed to Capt. E. S. Carson prior to the war, and was Capt. Carson's ser? vant during the war. He was owned by Mr. Peter Mellett, the father of the late Col. F. M. Mellett and Dr. R S. Mellett He has no family left, his wife having died twelve years ago, and his children were sold before the war, of. them be knows nothing Ben is rather aged in appearance, but does not look his age. for he is still able to get around and do light work. And another fact that is as remarkable as h is agp-h*> said nothing about having been Washington's servant or even I having seen the father of cur country. - ? ?? His Shoulder Dislocated Mr. Larkin Jenn ines, of the Providence ; neighborhood, was thrown <>y an Oregon ; horse on Friday evening. Hud one of bis j shoulders dislocated. The fall was a severe^ one, and the young man was fortunate in not j sustaining more severe irjuries. The injury : received prompt attention, and he will be as : well as ever in a short time.

Brogdon, of Brogdon?, this county, rpcently killed seven bog3 on one dav that netted 1.683 pounds of meat and 250 pounds of lard. He bas killed other hogs this 9eason, but this ?3 mentioned as a speci? men. There ts said to be more meat and corn in that section than ever before.

There was a large crowd present at tbe sales, but the bidding was not at all brisk. A Grand Rascal. A neatly dressed gentlemanly looking stranger came to Sumter the other day, giv? ing his name as Harry L. Thompson, and claimed to be the representative of Bes; & Co., the ladies' and children's furnishing and fancy goods establishment, of Union Square, N. Y. City, rated halt million dollars. He went into the millinery store of Mis.? rviliie E. McDonald r.nd arranged with her to prere sent Pest & Co.. as the soie agent ia th is city, for that firm. As he was apparently honest and very nice in his manners. Miss McDonald thought be was a genuine representative of the firm, which he claimed to represent, and when he told her that she would have to de? posit TI ?ne dollars with him as <\ guarantee of good faith, she promptly paid the money to him. She wrote to Bes' ? Co., and informed them of her arrangement with Mr. H. L. Thompson. Best & Co., telegraped Miss Mc? Donald a reply, to the effect that no such man represented them. Miss McDonald is therefore cut SO. Thompson, as the man call? ed himself, is about six feet tail, has brown hair, brown side whiskers and mustache, and brown eyes. He was very neatly dressed and a good talker The newspapers of the State are requested to pass this fraud around. The Quaker Tea.

Zion had a horse stolen, nnd there was no trace ot the horse or thief to be found in the neighborhood. He employed Mr. Sam Scarborough to bunt tbe thief, who set out at once to run bim down. He soon got on the trail of the thief, and followed him to within a tew miles of Wadesboro, N. C. There the horse was found in the possession ot a man. to whom the thief bad traded the horse ?or a mule anil road cart. The thief was a negro named Isaac Johnson, who live? near Sr. Charles. He had taken another toad and returned to his home with the mule and cart. The negro has only one foot, but even though he is thus handicapped he has tiot yet been . captured.

A fl???)NIGHT VECTOR. fivcry -Oilier Should Be Pre jv ar? d to Battle with Croup-Tile Best Remedy. (jrr&m .Tte Providence, R. L, Ttlegram.) What word carries more terror to a mother than croup, that insidious visitor whe steals upon her children at night when drug stores are closed and physicians not within reach. Croup does its deadly work quick, and if not met at the outset with stringent methods is almost sure to prove a conqueror. Every mother should keep a remedy where she can reach it at the first ominous bark. It hus been truly said that a bottle of Perry Davis' Pain-Killer on the medicine 6helf insures greater safety from such ills than would a doctor in your house, Pain-Killer was thc chief remedy of our grandfathers and with all the advances of sci? ence nothing has been found to take its place. For croup it is without an equal. At instance of this was yes 'ay cited to a reporter by Mrs. J. B. G. Xi-skins, of No. 30 Marion Street, the wife of one of the sturdy wheelwrights of Providence, R. I. "N'?bodv knows the anxiety, the torture of mind I have, experienced because of croup. Hours of sleep I have lost while watching at the bedside of my boy, who has suffered almost a thousand deaths from croup in its worst form. I tried every remedy that kind friends could suggest. All failed me, and I was in despair. Pain Killer finally conquered the terrible disease. My boy is now seven years old, and whenever I see that croup is returning I give Pain Killer. In twenty minutes the trouble is over and we both go to sleep. "Pain-Killer? Why I wouldn't ba with out it in my house a moment for a king's ransom. I "feel as though it cured my 20 year old son of bronchitis after all other remedies failed, and it saved me the prob? able loss of a limb from a broken artery, caused by the kick of a vicious horse. Pain-Kill?r at once reduced the swelling and prevented blood-poisoning." The meeting of the Truck Farmers and Melon Growers Association on the 13'b instant, will probably be well attended if the railroads will make favorable rates. This will probably ne done as it is very much to tile interest of 'he railroads to have the trucking industry established a'ong the ?ines. - -n>_ - A Ouarter Century Test.
