Extensive Pire at Baltimore. BALTIMORE, July 25-^1.45 P. M. An immense fire has just broken out at the comer of Clay and Park streets in thc centre of tho cityT Mt eommeikvd ?ii Jus. Thomas tfc Co.'s steam turning and prun ing mills, which' have a lumber yard at tached, at about 10 o'clock this morning. A general alarm was founded at once, but the flames gained n rapid headway and soon extended to the three adjoining blocks. From the planing mills, where it origi nated, the fire rapidly spread across Clay street to the block bounded by Howard Liberty, Saratoga and Clay streets, con suming nearly the entire block. From Clay street south the tire worsed its way back to Lexington street, burning all the buildings on Park street, and burning nearly every building on the west side 0/ Park street from Lexington to Saratoga'}, street. Fully two-thirds of the block bounded by "Clay, Park, Saratoga and Howard streets has been burned. It is probable that the fire will be confined to the area bounded by Lexington street on the south, Howard street on the west, Mulberry street on the north, and Liberty street on. the east. Four churches have already beer burn ed, and the Presbyterinn Church, " Dr. Smith's/' and the Cathedral are threaten ed. The First English Lutheran Church has been entirely consumed. BALTIMORE, July 25-2 P. M The fire ?3 still raging. Eight* block of fine buildings have been burned. Thc authorities are sending for outside help The water supply is foiling. Clay street, from Liberty to Howard, two squares, is burned out. This is a narrow street filled with carpenter shops and box factories The steeple ot the Central Presbyterian " Church is on fire. At half-past one o'clock the fiercest por tion of th*-- fire was on Saratoga street Between Park and Liberty streets, on th south side, every house on the square is in flames. The fire to this square cam* from back buildings, which reaeh to the destroyed house's on Clay street. Un Saratoga to H<>ward street, on the soutn side, the houses were still burning at one .o'clock. Thc course of the fire from Thomas's Factory, where it commenced, was Park street on one side and the rear ?i St. Alphonsus School on the other sid?' Thc buming shingles and spark.- stiried the fire in the squares on the north side of Mulberry street, between Cathedral and Parks streets. The fire then dashed across the street to the Academy of Arts. Thc dome of thc Cathedral at one time was on fire, but was put out by citizen? who were stationed on thc roof prepared for it. At ILK) o'clock, the casings of the win dows of St. Alphonsus Church were on fire, tor thc third time. Sparks .vere show ered all over the church from the burning houses in front and alongside of it. Not withstanding the intensity of flames, and thc natural excitement incident thereto, no panic prevailed in the neighborhood o? thc Arc, but all did their utmost to pre vent the spread of the flames. The new Salvages Corps appeared on the scene, and are doing good service. No estimate of thc damage ft possible under the cir cumstances. The work of moving is stili going forward, and the streets are impas sable. On Mulberry street, thc building of the Maryland Academy of Alt has been burned. Dr. Dalrymple!? school ad-j joining is on fire. Three handsome pri vate residences on the north side of Mul berry street, between Cathedral street, street and Park, took lire, but were sav ed with considerable damage. A force o' forty men are passing water to the doun of the Cathedral, which is covered with blankets. BALTIMORE, July 2-5-10 P. M. Clay street, on which the Are originated to day is a small street leginning at Lib erty street, auout midway between and parallel with Saratoga and Lexington streets, running west, intersecting^ Park and Howard streets, and stopping at Eutaw. The fire originated on the south side' Clay street, near Park, in Thomas's plan ing mill, as before stated. flu fire is now completely under con trol, and many who removed goods and furniture on the blocks adjacent to the fire are moving back. Reports are still circulated tha' several children were burn ed and men kilted, but a strict inquiry at tue marshal's office fails to verify anv deaths by burning. BALTIMORE, July 26, m. The loss sustained by the Central Pres byterian Church is *70,0??. Insurance. $?0,000. The Sisters.of the Convent 0! Notre Dame, and the St. Alphonsus school and library have lost $8,000, but were in sured. The fire stopped on Saratoga street.. The Central Garden Lager Beer j Saloon and the building occupied by Re demptionist Fathers were flooded. The English Lutheran Church with the Par sonage and a valuable library were bum ed. The University of Maryland and the Man-land Academy of Arts were partlv bumed ; thc former was also flooded with water. The Museum attached to the Academy was unharmed. Most of the pictures were removed. The insurance men think that from five to six hundred thousand dollars will cover the loss. The disaster, they claim, will not effect the solvency of "the insurance companies. No lives were lost. Sixty familias homeless. Tbe Sun, this morning, estimates the loss by fire yesterday at five hundred thousand dollars, and remarks that"'good judges estimate the damage as low as bc tween $300,000 and *400,000." Thc Gazette estimates the loss at from five to eight hundred thousand dollars, and the American says the loss will closely ap proximate one million. The Railroad Convention at Abbeville. We leam that our Anderson friends a* fully alive to thejimportance of the propos "d route from Chicago tojthe Atlantic, auci will be fully represented at the Abbevilh Convention which meets on the 13th Au gust ; and that Edgefield and other coun ties and perhaps Augusta also will ?cnn delegations. ?Ve 'are sure that the peo pie of Abbeville, as equally interested, will manifest the same enthusiasm, and extend to thc enterprise^their active and earnest co-operation. We call again their attention to thc proposed meeting on Sale dav in August, for the appointment of delegates. Other counties will be well represented, and let Abbeville appoint some of her best men to represent her in terests in tho coming convention. And what is the, interest of Abbeville . in the premises? lt is to be placed on a | 1 great highway of commerce leading from the lakes to the seaboard, which will pour into her lap the wealth of the East and the West. Thc attendant blessings which would follow the 'completion of such an . enterprise are beyond computation, and to secure them requires onlv the proper effort in the right direction. Nature has done her part in giving us the opportuni ty of securing the road, and we must take care that we do not neglcct.it. Let us have a full representation of our best men here on the 13th August-Ab beville Press ? Banner. MAK'S HEAD Crr OFF BY LIGHTNING. -A young man by the name of William Robertson, of Fort Wayne, Indiana, was out hunting on the 4th of July, ami did not return as was expected. After two days' search by his friends, he was found about three miles from town, lying about fifteen feet from a big free which had been struck by lightning. His head was sever ed from his body, and the two were lying . some distance apart. The theory of th- l' coroner's jury is that Robertson took J * shelter nndcr the tree, with his gun upon his shoulder, thereby drawing the electric ity upon himself. Poor Mexico.

C., July 31. 1873. Juhi>8tou's Depot at High Tide. On Friday last. Johnston's Depot awoke rom its sleep in the summer sun, audi h sut on an appearance as brilliant and gay is the great diamond sash of ?he Shah of Persia. Who has not reads|atoly of the Shah-and of his great diamond sash md of his fantastic Eastern tricks at the Courts of Europe? And, by-the by, that was a pretty compliment thc Shah paid :o Paiis after his first drive through her beautiful streets. Said bc, " Paris looks like a bride in her wedding dress." And this is exactly what might have been said ?TJohnston's on last Friday. She look ed like a bride in her wedding dress. -?iBut do we not err in implying that Johnston's sleeps-or ever slept? We think we do. Sine? thc iron horse tramp ed Johnston's into life four years ago, she bas never slept. And if she ever has, it bas been with one eye open. She is too young and strong to require sleep. And just here let us exhort the people of Johnston's, when it shall be incorpo rated and christened, to name it wisely and well. There is much, very much in a name. Let it not bc " Prosperltv," nor "Patience," nor APerseverance," nor "Consolation," nor "Humility," nor " Benevolence," nor any other of thc virtues or moral attributes. And for God's sake do not insult it with an " In jun name." Give it a good respectable English name that will be suggestive of our past history, and sound well in our future historj'. But the events of the day claim our notice. Listen first, however, to an an ecdote, which strikes us as being apropos. " What tune does you call dat?" a plan tation darkey once asked, as the story goes, of an itinerant disciple of Paganini, as tho latter dropped his bow after a somewhat severe struggle to evoke from bis cracked Cremona that nasty bitof our national melody yclept " Yankee Doo dle." " J&ss play it agiu, please. ' Thc predatory artist responded to thc* encore with that accommodating spirit characteristic of artists off as well as on* the stage. "Jess play it agin, please!" repeated, with increased earnestness, the enraptured nigger, wheu the bow weht down a second time. More of patriotic tire was thrown into the tune, but the Ethiopian was not sat isfied. At the close, each time, he en treated, " Jess play it agin, please." At length the bridge broke, the strings Hew off with a whack, and the music ceased. " Thc things bust.'" said the bow-scraper, " cau't play no more." "Whistle it, dance it, pat it, anything iris to keep dut tune a gwine /" broke out beseechingly the deeply impassioned lis tener. And thus it is'with writing up thc scenes and incidents of an Edgefield school exhibition, barbecue and pic-nic. These celebrations have reached about the same degree of sameness as repeti tions of "Yankee Doodle." It is pro foundly difficult to introduce any very startling variations. By 10 A. M., tho scenes in, andover, and around Johnston's were extremely animated and picturesque. On the night previous, guests from all parts, Co lumbia, Augusta, Lexiugton, Saluda, and our own village, had rendez voused in the hospitable mansions of the neighborhood. And as the beauti fully dressed ladies and their gallant escorts stepped from their carriages and buggies, it seemed a grand gala day of fashion's devoutest votaries. Tho coup d'ocil, the lovely women, the spruce gen tlemen, the beautiful little children, the horses, thevehicles, themingliug masses of grave, and gay ; young, and old ; rich, and poor; high, and low; all made a picture alike vivid, pleaslngand exciting -and all enlivened by strains of sweet est and truest music. At Johnston's is an embryo brass band -some twelve or fourteen of the most prominent and intelligent young gentle men of the vicinity. Their teacher is an old and experienced German musician of Augusta, himself a very cunning violinist, and, judging from their per formances on this day, they give the ut most promise. The waltzes, galops and popular airs already given by them, are played with that perfect time and even ness of tone, which are so necessary in the beginning to lead to final brilliant execution. We bei.' the Johnston's Band to enroll us among their best friends. The day began with pleasing recitations and declamations from a few of the younger pupils of the Rev. Mr. Broad dus-in the broad and airy hall of the liandsome now Academy. For two days previous, Mr. Broaddus' examination liad been going on quietly before the patrons and friends of the school On the morning in question, after the usual religious exercises of the school, a little fairy girl of H y ears stepped forth, ind with bewitching childish grace and innocence, spoke a speech of welcome to tho audience. The natural beaut;* of the i-hild was enhanced bj-a costume of fault less beauty and appropriateness. Wc ilways pay an instinctive tribute to the lovely womanliness of those mothers who dress their little children beautiful ly. This tiny girl was Emma Calhoun, the daughter of Mr. J. W. Calhoun. And then, in rapid succession, came a well-executed dialogue on the "Close of School" by Misses Eunice Bartley and Marina Long. The recitation of an ex quisite poem, "Marriage of the Sun ana Moon," by Miss Beulah Kenney-given with extreme clearness and intelligence. A recitation of lines cut from the Adver tiser-" Let us try tobo Happy"-by our bright and pretty little friend and former neighbor, Miss Emmie Minis. Another [>oem-love of tho South being its bur len-admirably repeated by Miss Laura Bartley. A highly successful comic joem by Master Albert Lott. And final v l?e awarding of the testimonials of nerit. . ? Of these testimonials there were two, me of which was awarded to Miss Laura 3artley, the other to Miss Ella Bartley iousins-and of the highest grade of nerit in recitation, progress and deport nent. Names of other pupils were read ?ut as worthy of merit in certain classes. And hereupon, the school, nude and emale, formed into a procession, and, leaded by the band and followed by a ountlcss host of spectators, madoatri impbant march to the grove in which tood thc speaker's stand. The speaker of the day was our talent d young townsman, Mr. John C. Shep lard, who, after the crowd was scated 1 nd quiet prevailed, was introduced to 1 ho audience in nattering terms by Capt. 1 'om Jones. The Rev. Mr. Broaddus, 1 ?apt. Jones and Col. T. G. Bacon occu- ! icd seats upon tho stand. As rdganN ?ie speech we will not enter into detail. ' t exhibited a decided talent for writing ' ure and elegant English, it exhibited ide and well directed research, it ex- . ibited profound acquaintance both with 1 lassie lore and modern histor}', and in ( the political and tho educational were , ? admirably blended ns to make it emi- c ently appropriate to the occasion and to ( ie timex. And certainly in tho length s f bl? speech, the speaker exhibited t pry rare good taste. Mr. Sheppard is a 1 sung lawyer who at a very early ago *? ? made a decided marie. As a speaker ' ia manner and pure forensic style are C ? fine as to excite immediate admira on. His effort on this occasion gave ii versal pleasure. v Mr. Sheppard's speech being conclu- n xi, a letter from Judge John E. Bacon g thc Commits, WM rtftd to tho audi. ?jj BUCO. Judge Bacon liad been invited to deliver an address on the occasion, but on account of an attack of incipient bron chitis,,.he waa compelled to forego the honor? and bad already hurried off^o the healing water?? ol' Virginia. ] . The'speaking, was- o?nduded ny Col. i T. G. Bacon making a stirring, appeal-to j the people Of Johnston's to press forwatd I in that cause forwhjch thev have airead v shown themselves so solicitous and so generous-the groat cause of education. ; And then the JJand played delightfully, and the people promenaded, and lemon- j aded.^and ice-creamed, and sneclated, j and chatted, and Hil ted, until dinner. Tho tables, devised in their admirable arrangement by Mr Charles.Kenney, were erected under the grove in front of the residence of Mr. E. A. Miti?s. And 1 befe tho vast multitude ate and drank until they were actually torpid with peace .and plenty. Tho dinner was all that money, energy and hospitality could make it. And here might be seen, par excellence, thc gentlemen and ladies of this particular section-the heads of tribes-tho Colemans, the Lotta, the Ward9, the Blands, the Kenneys, tho Joneses, the Mobloys, th?j^Iimscs, the Readys and the Bartleys. We do not mean they could bo seen hore as caters. No. On tho .contrary, as generous and thoughtful hoists, watching the wants ol' their guests, and hastening to lill them. And happy were thc men and women who-as wc did-anchored on' to Capt. Clinton Ward and Iiis lady. Yes, happy were they; for they saw unstinted gen erosity, and gentlest courtesy, and too best bread that was ever baked by earth ly fire, and grapes, and fiirs, and melons, and everything that could make one happy. And now we hurry to the dance-hall It is the barely finished and still unoc cupied store house of Mr. J. W. Huiet. A splendid place-and plenty of room ,but for the unwioldly crowd of pressing spectators. And here again, Youth is ou the prow and Pleasure at the helm. A galop is playing and dozens of young people are living, bounding, and laun dering around, as Nature and their dan cing master have taught them. It is de lightful. And now it changes to thc Lancers, and although we canuot see through a horrid tall mau who stands in our mouth, the little pauses in thc music tell us, without seeing, that thc girls are all courtesying, and the men, with arms linked together, are galloping madly round, like savages before a wooden god' The Lancers-is it not beautiful. And now an old fashioned cotillion, with "swing comers" and "lady's chain," and every variety of the human animal rushing violently about, doing their best to make themselves giddy and tear their clothes. And still lt is delightful ! /ind in watching a dance, 'did you evor notice how small arC man's highest adornments compared to.woman's? Athis best, in his dress of ?reatett ceremony, the man is but a scrimping, pitiful, black-forked biped, compared to thc indefinite volume, the many-colored majesty, of befloumced, belaced, bellowered, boringjeted woman ! But it is six o'clock P. M., and ino .sun is low, and the Lanciers are wean-, and vehicles are flying ti) tho four points of the^compass, and Johnston's-which has behaved no beautifully, so hospitably, so peacefully-sigh? for rest- Johnston's has talked, and walked, and danced, until it has no legs left. In fact we all sigh for rest. So wo depart homewards ; some thinking of the dinner; some, of the dance; some, Of our.sweethearts ; and .some-a few-of our latter end. Beneficiary Scholarships for Medical Students. Tho Trustees of the Louisville (Ky.) Medical College have ?.< reused a number of Beneficiary Scholarships, for ino bene fit of poor but deserving young men seeking a first class medical education. One Beneficiary student is received from each Senatorial District of any State, and one from eaoli Congressional District of the different States. Hmm of physicians and clergymen arc very properly accord^ ed Beneficiary Scholarships. Each Schol arship is worth to the recipient of it $-00, and those receiving such aid aro known only to the Dean. Mode of obtaining a Beneficiary Scholarship learned by ap plying to Dr. E. S. Gaillard, Dean, Louisville, Ky. As tho next session be gins in September, all young men need ing aid should apply as early T9 possible. Profits of Horse Raising. We have seen a copy of tho George town (Ky. J Times, winch describes, a recent sale of thoroughbred horses by A. J. Alexander, of that county, andas an evidence of thc lucrative character of the horse raising busiuGss wc gjye some of the figures, which will provo interest ing to horse owners and dealers in stock. Fifty-four .colts were disposed of for 829,220-prices ranging from $60 to $5,500 ; a full brother of Kingfisher bringing the latter price. Thirty-eight thoroughbreds ?25,200; an average of over $000. Six teen trotters sold for $4,7510 ; an average of over $200. Wc do not know that this sale was an exceptional ono. It is a fair example of the profitable character of the business.. Kentucky has grown wealthy through the efforts of her horse dealers, and \a tho great fountain of sup ply for the thoroughbred stock of the country. A Good Family Paper. Mr. W. P.

A Letter From North Carolina. ^ CHARLOTTE, N. C., July 27,1S73. ? Mr. Editor: J arrived hero at 21 o'clock this afternoon,.iii a run of ubom) 7j hours from Johnston's,-1G2 miles;. The road is in excellent order, and 1 never enjoyed a Railroad ride for the distance as ? have this. There has latterly been very fine ntins ali ?he distance, except from near Co lumbia to Doko. Thc crops 'tare what I term sorry, with fem exceptions from Johnston's to Leesville. Fro.ni thence to Doko, the second or third station this side of Columbia, we will drop the cur tain. From Doko.tolhis place, as far as can be seen from the Road, with tho ex ceptions of a very few fields, they aro in the superlative degree most sorry. From about Doko to near. Chester C. H., the land seems to bo noarby all worn out, and but d|small portion in cultivation,-hilly, stony, no timber for fences, the land thrown out ami grown up with a scrubby grow th of pines;* which look that they will require an ago to get suificiont size to make?rails. No wonder they wish a Lchange in thc fence law. After passing Chester C, H., there is a great change in the .?'ace of the country. Until crossing the Catawba river it is level, has a low, fiat, swampy appear ance, and but little growth oh land which has been turned o??\for years. Entering North Carolina to this place tho face of the country is more like Fair field. In ?liaste, Yours, ,v. JOHN" HU I ET. Tho Ku Klux Cases. A delegation oft-prominent citizens of South Carolina, consisting^of the Hon; W. D. Porter, General J. B. Kershaw, and Messrs. R. M. Sims and S. A. Durham, accompanied by. Assis tant Secretary Sawyer, of thc treasury, waited upon Attorney-General Williams, in thc city of Washington, on tho 24th, ? requesting that all proceedings in refer ence to the outrages of thc Ku-Klux Klan be suspended, and urging tho par don of those now confined in thc Albany Penitentiary. They represent that as an organization the Klan has ceased to exist in this State, and that a lenient policy on .tho part of the government-will tend lo restore peace and order. Attorney-General Williams informed thom that it was tho polic3' of the gov ernment to prosecute only aggravated casos, and.that. orders had already been given to that effect, and that as soon as the President was fully satisfied that peaceable citizens would bj protected in the' property and lifo, general suspen sion of the prosecutions would bo desi rable. He also informed thc delegation that many Ku-Klux prisoners had been pardoned, and pardons would be issued to the others ; the most aggravated cases being detained until the last. The delegation was mud] pleased with tho encouragement given theni by the attorney-general. They also expected to visit Long Branch and have an interview with President Grant A Wooden Railroad. Ti;? Clarendon Press, of thc 3 St li, con tains a lengthy account of, thc wooden railroad or tramway Urbich bas been lately built, and which brings ?[anning Court house tu communication with the outside world : " Thc South Carolina Central Railroad had been allowed to drop through thc hantln ol' the original projectord, and a eoni>ideiable amount of cutting out and grading had bet-ti afccoiiipliabcd, when Messrs. Land & Pritchett, largs turp?n tine distillers, cluing a very large business; purchased the right of way xml set about to constructs road that wn-;.!d take their products to market. The .^"d from Man ning to Lane's Turnout, ou' the North Easlern Railroad, was cleaned out and graded, and laid with scantling. This road is fiftften and a half miles long. The bed is constructed pic-cicely as all other railroads are. The whole structura above thc bed is.-jnecisely similar to other rail roads, except, in place of iron, this road has wooden stringers, four by five inches, fastened down lo thc cross ties by long iroB spijtee passing through bot h stringer and cross ti.:, imiitm^ the .stringers both steady and firm. Theie stringers ore five indies upon their face, and thc trucks or wheels of the running stock arc live inch es upon their face. The friction in run ning being distributed over wide surfaces, the injury to the ra?3 will be much less. The flanges to the wheels are two and a half inches deep, thereby prevea.ting any probability of running off. A portion of the road has been in operation five months, oypr which trains have been running daily, and ilium ?f the stringers are smooth. The rolling .stock on the toad is common, but quite effectual. Thc engine is worth only eighteen hundred dollar?, but is sufficient to carry seven or eight cars, loaded, at the ra4e of fifteen miles per hour. The pro prietors are now gone to the North foran ether engine of greater capacity. The road ia regarded a success, and answers all thc purposes of a first class iron road. The roact has cost about twelve hundred dollars per mile. By this road fifty thous and pounds can be sent twice a day. The Growing Crops. NEW ORI.KASS, July 27.

SHOOTING A DESPERADO AM> ?IORSE THIEF.-A colored man by tim name of Green was shot and instantly killed in his own house about eight miles from Sumte S. C., on Tuesday last. Given was a p?: feet desperado, and has long been a terror to fanners and planters in that vicinity, .;puti whom he was constantly committing depredations, stealing'horses, cattle, ii.1. All efforts to capture him had.proved un availing, and finally three or four men went to his house on Tuesday, attempted to arrest him, and iipqn his offering re sistance, they shot him dead.

Thc Fraudulent State Hunds. [From thc New York Sun.] The South Carolina hoad case, in which' New York bondholders are largely inter ested, is likely to be prutnctcl indefinitely, as Judge Carpenter, of i\w. Court nf Com mon Pleas in Columbia, has granie I mi injunction which prohibits tho couiptroln. from collecting and the Stain treasurer from paying out auy moneys i<i? ?vea- : ol'principal or interest of cerlaiij l ouds, known as conversion bonds, until (ho fur ther order of the court. The taxpayers of South Carolina will be sure I" do all they can to resist the payment of the di:-, puted bonds at all unless il caa be shown that they were legally issued, ile I? mus in question amount to over sown ??ii?;..n dollars. The. ground on which their vs 1 idity is disputed is th tit although sonic thing more than a million dollars nf them were properly issued in conversion of stock, the remainder, say six million dollars, are unauthorized by law and therefore invalid. To speak more plainly, Lhe taxpayers con tend that out ot about seven million of tho bonds six millions were issue;.! in defi ance of law by carpet-bag thieves, who stole the money realized upon t' em, and that therefore the State is not liable for ihe payment of amy unless it can bo shown that they were legally issue!, ll is an important question which has Jo be iecided, namely, whether innocent foreign bolders of obligations issued hy thc au thorities of a State can be made to suffer for the misconduct ot such authorities, lt would be hard f?r the innocent holders if their bonds should eventually prove worth less, and it will be equally hard for the jvortaxed people of South Carolina if they are compelled to pay six millions ol' dollars on account of debts illegally con tracted by the thieving carpet bag officials br their own private benefit, especinl.'v aa me officials have been imposed upon them igainst their will. It is a sad business rom any point of view; and the worst of t is that it is only a fair example of the date of things prevailing in ?di ol' thc re xjnslructed States in winch the Crain Re jublicans have succeeded in maintaining .heir ascendency. f?^.An Indiana woman is mail because 1er husband took ber very best sheet to lang himself, when there wsw an old dothes line in the cellar which was good mough for the purpose.

His manly form wa< tho embodiment of a soul which knew n<> impulso hut that of honor and integrity. In all his bnsi-' ness and social relations of life, those traits were strikingly exemplified. His promises were ever I sacredly observed and punctiliously fulfilled Many, very "many friends and acquaintances were "attracted to 1 nih ear tb and hbih?'to enj?y his open hospitality and high social quali ties. His attachment to friends was strong, ardent, 'unmistakable And he chose thom not for their wealth, position, fame, or notoriety, but simply for their innate worth, however humble their position, or however destitute their means. The lowly peasant, the revered divine, the distinguished statesman, the man of science, or of letters, all equally enjoyed his confidence and esteem, if found worthy.
