I am happy to say that it bas sot since returned-Josh. Edgar, Germantown, Cal. For sale by A. J. China The threat of Spain to incite revolts in the Southern States if the "J ni ted States dares to go to war is the most silly utterance of the eil ly season. If the Spaniard wbo made tbe threat could spend a few days in South Car? olina his ideas of tbe Southern people would be considerably modified. No one is spoiling for a fight with Spain, but if orgentjneed should arise for men to defend this country there would be more loan sufficient volun? teers to form an army able to whip Spain in a fair light. Rev. E. Edwards, pastor of tbe English Baptist Church at Minersville, Pa., when suffering with rheumatism, was advised to try Caamberlain'e Pain Balm. He says : "A few applications pf this liniment proved of great service to me. It subdued tbe in? flammation and relieved tbe pain.

The bouse on Sumter Street immediately io the rear of Herby's Stable was seton fire Mon? day night about 9 o'clock, but it was discov? ered before the flames gained mnch headway and was extinguished ?with a few buckets of water. Tbe department turned out as promptly as usual in response to the alarm but failed to iocate tbe fire and both Equade ran full tilt up Liberty Street to the Methodist Church before they were stopped. The fire was unquestionably the work of an iocendiary, for there were indications of kerosene or some other inflammable nil having been thrown against tbe side of the bouse and then set on fire Had the fire been started at a later hour a eerious conflagration would have beeo caus? ed es oothiug could have prevented the flames from spreading to Harby's stables and tbe row of wooden buildings on Liberty Street Once fire gets started in that neat of old frame buildings there is going to be a fire that will give the fire department a job that will test its fire fighting abilities to tbe utmofit.
