Tlic buried Shiners about to come to light. The arrest on last Monday of Mrs. Perry, lute Mr. John Perry, who died last May, lias again set to wagging all the gossipping tongues of tho community, and excited afresh the glittering dreams of . the parties concerned. A few- months beforo Mr. Perry died, be told bis son, Edward Perry, that he had $4,000 in 'gold buried, which lie intended for his children by his first wife—that he had given his last wife and her only son, Rawls Perry, what ho had intended for them—that no oqc knew except him self and wife where the said $4,000 was buried—that she would inform him (Edward Perry) after bis (John Perry’s) death where the gold was buried. A few days after his fath er’s death, Edward Perry went over and asked for the will, and male somo general inquiries, to sec if tlio widow would produce the $4,000 of her own accord. But she mado no allusion to it whatever.- lie then asked hor about it directly. She confessed that her late husband bad left the money as Edward stated,— said she had been and dug for it, but failed to find it.—She adheres to it, that tho money is somewhere in the neighborhood of where she dug, but she can't rccolect exactly where. On examination it was found that, she had dug but one hole—that the bottom of that; hole showed tho im pression of a little square box—and two t negroes test ify that they saw- Mrs. Perry and hor daugter-in-luw (Rawls’ wife) digging at that, place— that they took out a box and knock ed off- one side of it—that one of thorn went to the house, returned witlf a dish-pan and put a portion of tiro contents of the box into tlio pan, and returned to tho house, taking with them tho box and the pan. It was upon the strongfclvqf tho testi mony of tbeso negroes which was not obtained till a few days ago, that Mrs. Perry was arrested and brought to Dublin on Monday evening. The trial will come off to-morrow (Fri day) in tho Ordinary’s Court. Mrs. Perry’s lawyers think sho is in no dan- gor, but the attorneys on tlio other side oxpect to send hor to jail unless she gives bond for the fortli-coming of tho money, The fore-going avo tho facts in tho case as wo have heard them. Wo take no stock in cither side of the contro versy, but merely perform tho duty of a journalist in giving tho liews. “I know not how tlio truth may be, I tell the talc as ’twas told to me.” OUR ABSCONDING PAINTER. About six months ago, J. A. Waro from Atlanta, Nashville, Louisville, and divers other cities, hung out his shingle in Dublin ns a painter. He started under most favorable auspices. The town needed a good painter, and Mr. Waro, appearing to be a gentle manly sort of fellow, received the patronage and encouragement of all. For a while ho got along swimming ly. But he kept soaked all tho time in about as much whisky as lie could carry, which made him insimoly sen sitive to remarks made to or about him, and often involved him in quarrels, and on niore than ono occa sion, brought him to blows with par ties who had been willing to befriend him, From this course, it was clear to’all that his break-down was only a qnbetron of time, and vory sliqrt time at that. This Ware had intelligence enough to see, and unscrupulous cun ning chough to prepare for. Ho col lected closely what was due him, let all bills against him stand over, sent off liis family with all his effects two or three days in advance, provoked a difficulty with Mr. 14. A. Smith, made a crack-brained speech in be half of himself beforo tho Mayor’s court, eluded the marshal, and made good his escape. Tie left on last Sat urday, tho day after tlio difficulty with Mr. Smith, leaving liis whisky bills, his hoard bill, liis drug hill, shop rent and other dues all unpaid. Ho is a regular imposter. Medium height, spare built, sharp featured, little or no heard, light hair, grey eyes, of ready speech. Pass him round. HORRIBLE OUTRAGE. Tho Sumpter Republican publish es the following: On Monday morning, tho 8th inst., Miss Bell Bryant, an orphan girl, about thirteen yqfl.i'3old, living with Dr. W. R. Barker, in Leo county, was outraged and murjlored by some fiend while that gentleman was on a visit to this city. We learn that Mrs. Barker was sick in bed; midthc girl went to tho spring betwoni eight and nine o’clock, which was about half a mile distant from tho house, for.a lmcket-of water, whon in the act of stooping over the spring she was as sailed by tho inhuman scoundrel, who hud been lurt<i ng behind a tree near by awating his victim, seized by tho throat, and, (it is supposed by Dr. Barker who examined tho child), was brutally outraged and choked to death, then thrust head downward into tho spring. After awaiting the return of tho girl fur sveral hours Mrs. Barker suspecting something wrong, got up and wont to her fath er’s, Mr. Peter Laramoro, a half a mile distant and gavo tho alarm. Immediately search was mado and the child was found head downward in tho spring, which is very narrow and is three or four feet deep. From the tracks in tho sand it is certain that this picco of diabolism was commitcd by a negro; and wo hear that bloodhounds have been put on liis trail for tho purpose of bringing him to justice. Death of Col. A. E. Vickers. Col. A. E. Yickors died of conges* tiv.o chill oh last Sunday morning at 9 o’clock.
