The fire is supposed by some ■ to have been the work of an incen i diary, but why so good a citizen as Mr. Phillips should be made to suffer by so heartless a fiend, if the above i supposition be true, we are unable to ; conjecture. _ . _ Rabbit Hill in Ashes At an early hour on Saturday morning hist the alarm of fire was sounded which threw the town into a state of excitement, but soon nil fears subsided, when it was ascertained that no further damage could accrue to the town. The house was a small frame building owned by Miss Mary Drane. It was entirely consumed with contents. No insurance. A ne gro child asleep in die house narrow ly escaped with its life. Death of Mrs- Fuller- It becomes our painful duty to chronicle the death of Mrs. Fuller, i the devoted wife of Rev. M. Fuller, of I our town. Though a great shock, still her death was not unexpected.— , Quito a while ago the grim monster seized upon her vitals and never re laxed his hold until his aim was ac complished in the death of this be loved wife, fond and considerate mother and exemplary Christian wo man. She bore her sickness and suffering with patience and fortitude, which only the child of God could, and now, bereaved ones, she is in the shade beyond the river, where it is written, “there shall be no right” A SLIDE DOWS, lu Wiiich Hie ‘‘Little Flask’’ Farms a Pari On Tuesday morning, just alter the up day passenger train had left the depot, a sable sou of African de scent undertook to make bis exit from the depot byway of an inclined platform, used for the purpose of rolling barrels into the streets, and which by the way looks very much like it hud been greased. In endeav oring to make the transit his feet flew from under him, and the sudden coming in contact with mother earth caused an unloading of sundry arti cles from his pockets; among them and to him by no means least, a small flask, which, according to ap [ pearai.ee, contained the essence of “tangle leg.” Ho picked himself up and departed, doubtless reflecting upon the fact that there is danger on a greasy platform although taken ns u nigh cut. Tupping will) a Mallet. Editors Sentinel: Should a mallet bo sufficient to lull a blabbering tongue, why use the mall ? There is a certain woman of our Eden town whose courtship days have long since passed, and years quite a number heaped upon her ' head, straightens the once dark curls into gray strands, and stretches across her sun-burnt cheek aged wrinkles i printed thereupon on account of the | false movements of the tongue.— Undoubtedly this woman has entirely forgotten the troubles which contin ually arise amongst the young folks of | now-a-days. Surely when she was I courting, others must have had a hard I time if she kicked up such stirs in proportion as she now does. One I good thing, she can only cause the ' bubbles to burst, and the gas to smell ' among strangers. For home folks i know her of old, as she resembles the I butt end of a gass pipe turned wide alos •. -Now old woman, I’ll stop a little while, as you can smell the other end of the gas pipe yourself. So live a Christian life and hold your tongue. “Jonnie.” RIV MR MEVAARDIE Condition of the Great Leader of Auguxta Los I, Augusta Chronicle. The follow i ing statement as to Rev. Mr. Meynar dio the Chronicle gives publicity with pleasure. The gentleman who furnishes the information speaks very kindly of the reverend Knight. The statement is made as to his condition | after a visit to Mr. Meynardie’s _ 1 residence: Terms, $i a Yedt* In Advance. | “I find that Mr, Meynardie and hia friem-a have been much distressed at the impression that is current in towk and unintentionally added to by the recent article in the Chronicle under the title “is ho mad ?"

In addition to the position in the Knights of Laiior he has had ths further responsibility of a church upon him and almost nightly for months has been engaged in preach ing. All these facts united to the accumulated excitement at ths Richmond convention united ia producing it prostration that tempo* rarily overshadowed his bruin, and he was without consciousness of his acts until after his return to Augusta. Here he was so completely prostrated physically that stimulants were necessary to receive hnn, but after a temporary prescription he was able to dispense with them entirely. “.Since his return he has bee* excessively weak; walks very slowly and with much effort, but ia careful and exact in his use of woods, and utterly free from anything like wandering of the mind.

It was during one of these states of hallucinations produced by high fever he was seen by the witness whose account of his condition gave rise to report that his mind was gone. He is so weak in body us to require freedom from anxiety,but his miud is as strong and clear as it ever Was.
