W??ave heard it intimated that some, of o'lrrmost settled townsmen, such as Dr. China, wL Graham, Mr. Isadore Hoyt, and'one of our4>reacbers are "arranging for an ' old-fash 5(.ned coon-hunt. Verily, there's life in the -i'd land yet. . Their respective places of busi? es will be closed oa the day after their -viurn. Last Wednesday afternoon quite a serious -ff?ir occurred at Bishopville between two ..ierds, Messrs. Jim Carnes and Melvin Wil? ina?, who commenced playing and joking .i:h each other, and for some cause it finally ?nded by Mr. Williams cutting Mr. Carnes .w'ce, which the at?cn?injr physicians have ronounced serious. Mr. Williams has depart Z for parts unknown. Our enterprising fellow Citizens, Messrs. j ?

The sum of i , thirty thousand dollars annually, in eonsider of this lease is to be paid in quarterly install? ments by the lessees. The Colombia Register does not reach us regularly on the day of issue, but we are in? formed that it ?3 not the fault of the proprie- i ^ tor nor of our Postmaster, Mr. Whittemore, j both of whom have used their best efforts to give us the Register on the same day it is pub? lished. They are still working to make some definite arrangement to this end, and we hope ! they will succeed. It is a shame that we have j ^ keen compelled, to wait a whole day after j , publication to get a daily paper 40 miles away, while other points hundreds of miles away enjoy this privilege. - -? i - ? Religious. Te are informed that an adjourned meeting of the Presbyte y ;>f Harmony was held at Mayesvilleon Tuesday; last. As is usually the case at these extraordinary meetings, the attendance was small ; but sufficient to con? clude the only two items of business brought before the body. ^ Tbe.first of these referred to the dissolution of the Pastoral relation, which has subsisted for some years, between the Brewington Church -.nd the Rev." James McDowell. Leave was j.sked and obtained to dissolve this relation ?n order that Mr. McDowell might accept a call from the Manning Church for his whole time. Tbe second item was in reference to the dis? solution of the Pastoral relation between the Midway Cbnrch and thc Rev. Mr. Perry, mainly with a view to the re-esfah?shment of j 1 a joint pastorate between that Church and the \ j Bethel Church. Weare pleased to learn that j j the Midway Church made considerable pro- j t 'ess under Mr. Perrv's ministry. Attempt to Break out of Jail. The tranquility of the jail circle was some- j < ' vi disturbed on last Saturday afternoon j 1 v five of the prisoners trying to overpower j ! i? * jailor, Mr. Weeks, in order to make their i ?cape, and which attempt would have prov- j j d successful in the general stampede, but for ? ' be timely assis*ance of Tom Summers, a pris- . 1 uer, who sprang to the door and locked it, j - '"ore the five could effect a wholesale libera- j ] ' 0D? .O?rij1 ."cr?e prisoner, Isaac Gardner, got j - way, aq-^-aiibough ihe jailor was seized at ? I . ie time, he succeeded in drawing his pistol ; 1 . ad firing: t*Av/ shots at Gardner, which must j ? ave hit him, as it is reported that a wounded j I . egro was picked up last Sunday morning i i ire? miles from Sumter and carried off. In ! - ppreciation of Summer's assistance. Mr. .' ?*~ks yesterday paid his flue and he was re- j's leased from jail. i Death of Mr. J. H. Dinkins. The shocking intelligence reached us on yesterday morning by telegraph, that Mr. Joseph H. Dinkins, the brother of our towns? man Dr. Dinkins, was run over by the cars, near Houston, Texas, on Saturday last, and died on the following morning. Mr. Dinkins was chief engineer on the New York, Texas and Mexican R. R., and had won for himself a fine reputation as an efficient and able engi? neer. His wife has been lying at the point of death for some weeks, each day promising to be her last. His mother and sister went out on a visit to bim some months ago, and are now at his home. We tender our sincerest condolence to the afflicted and profoundly sympathize with them in their sad affliction. Sudden Death. Mr. Wm. Benbow, an old citizen of the Mt. Clio neighborhood in this County was found dead on last Sunday, a short time after walk? ing out of the house. It is supposed that Apoplexy or Heart Disease was the cause. He was about sixty-five years old, and never married. Unfortunate Accident. Jenny James, and aged negro women, was run over near the Depot, by the western? bound train at two o'clock yesterday. Both of her legs were broken and her head was bad? ly injured. Drs. Blandiag ?and Mood were called on, who amputated one of' the limbs. Her injuries are regarded as very serious. We learn that the unfortunate woman died from her injuries last night. -- Don't make your purchases for Christmas or New Years, until you see the elegant and cheap presents at D. J. Auld's. K. of H.

"Wedgefield at its Best. -0 The Drama-A Feast for the Eye and for the Appetite. Ye editor rolled in among the blazing lights 5f the "coming city" at about 7 o'clock on Friday night last. After warming thorough? ly t^and he needed it,) he was given a Tront seat in the Academy (of Music)-a front seat jn condition that he would write up the play ibout to come off. The "Academy" was Siled to overflowing, and it was no little :hing to have a good seat given to you on iccount of your editorial grace, while others, 'ar better looking than yourself, had to stand )R tiptoe to see. We are writing this in the "Academy" just before the curtain rises, and it may be as well :o say now as at any other time that the ..harades and supper to follow, are given by :he Wedgefield folk to aid io the erection of a baptist Church in their midst. Some one >ta iding by says it is a doubtful experimeDt :o have to erect a church by fiddling. As for as, we had as soon fiddle up a church as to jet one in any other way. David played apon the harp and timbrel, and would have clayed, doubtless, upon a fiddle if be had had sne. But the curtain is rising, and we are now to hear the affecting story of the Last Loaf. The plot of the play is briefly as follows; Daleb Hansom and his son are both in love ! { erith Mark Ashton's daughter. The son has j ' Lhe best hand. The father appeals to Mark Ashton and bis wife for aid in winning their laughter's hand. He is repulsed, and then threatens to have the girl anyhow. He seduces the father in drinking ; the property is all sold, and while they stand around the table on which lies the "last loaf he asks igain for the daughter's hand. He is repuls? ed again. His son finally returns home in jase and wealth, takes the girl, Mark Ash? ton reforms, and the elder Hansom is left in he cold without a wife, just as every man >ught to be who seeks to get one by dishone? st means. The parts in this piece were remarkably well played, considering the fact that the per brmers were amateurs. John Ryan, a Barn- j ?veil ooy, in the employ of Moore & Co., im- j personated Mark Ashton, and played well the j >art of a drunken m-n, while it is doubtful J whether John knows what the taste of j tvhiskey is. Mr. Montgomery-(we didn't learn wheth- | :r bis nam? was Jim or Bob, bat we'll cr.ll ! jim Bob ) created much amusement as Dick; the baker. He represen ted himself as a gen? tleman of learning, who used the dictionary for a pillow. His refrain throughout the play, was that he never dropped a slice of oread, except it fell buttered side down. Mr. Graham, as Caleb Hansom, did bis oart well. Peter Mellet, came in as Tom Chubbs, a butcher %vho stuttered violently. He was "oiled in love by Dick. Ile was, however, a generous soul, willing to sell goods to the poor 'ow down for cash. This grade ol generosity j is not a verity. Ye reporter didn't know the names of the f ictresses until after \h*. play, and as compari- j ions are odious, he will just say they alt did I their parts well, and deserve eredit. The play of Box and Cox which was pre? sented in our Music Hall last fall created con? siderable mirth, and was acted finely from be? ginning to end, except that Mrs. Bouncer skip? ped a portion of what she had to say, aud created a little disorder^ This skipping was unexpected and out of place, as Mrs. Bouncer was the only women ever known to skip any? thing that she had to say. At a lillie after ten, tbe curtain fell, and the drama closed. The audience then repair? ed toa vacant building in which the ladies had prepared a magnificent supper. Pig's and turkeys and chickens, roasted, baked and in pies; rice-pileau, oysters, coffee, salads, mut? ton, sheep and lambs, b&ked, boiled and bar? becued ; custards, floats, fruit.?, lemonade, &c, ad infinitum, were arranged on tables an'! shelves and counters. Certainly five hundred could have been fed. About a hundred and j fifty ate, some of whom did weil-yes, ex cediugly well. On the whole, both entertainments were successful, and brought in about one hun? dred and fifty dollars. - ? Tl Call at F. H. Folsom & Bro.'s and see the improved Safety Lamp.

Something that never fails-Fever and Ague-To the sick it is of little consequence bow they are cured, whether from a rational view of the disease or by the rules defined for the guidance of the profession, so long as the cure is certain and expeditious. To a suffer? ing man the question on the relative merits of quinine or calomel is uninteresting. The faculty may wrangle and discuss their vari? ous theories, but Dr. Holloway's treatment dispels doubt ere the disciples of Esculapius have finished the first stage. Holloway's Pills are the only remedies which effect a speedy and radical cure without danger of a relapse. Important Caution.-None are genuine un? less the signature of J.

Oct 25 GOOD COFFEE. Everybody wants it, but very few get it, because most people do not know how to select coffee, or it is spoiled in the roasting or making. To obviate these difficulties has been our study. Thurber's package Coffees are selected by an expert who un? derstands thc art of blending various fla? vors. They are roasted in the most perfect manner (it is impossible to roast well in small quantities), thea put in pound paek a?< s(t'/i the bean, not ground,) bearing our si.sr'iature as a j-ruarantM of genuine -3S, and each package contains the Thurber recipe for making good Coffee. Wc pack two kinds, Thurber's "No. 34," strong and pungent, Thurber's "No. 41," mild and rich. Ono or the other will suit every taste. They have the three great points, good quality, honest q:tan iity, reasonnjle price. Ask your Grocer for Thurber's roasted Coffee in pound pack? ages, "JVb. 34" or "Ao. 41." Do not be put off with tiny other kind-your own palate Will tell you what is best.
