Wednesday, December 18. 18Y. Defeamo of the Xasonic Temple. The dedication of the new - and mag. nficent Masonic Temple in Charleston, on Tuesdy last, is described as one of unusual interest and grand display, and a gala day for the city, the ceremo nies being participated in by large num bers of visiting brethren from all parts of the State. The 100th Anniversary. The Centennial Commission for the purpose.of making preparations for the celebration of the 100th Anniversary of American Independence in 1876, is now in session at .the city of Philadelphia. Judge Orr it is remembered is one of the Commissioners for this State. The plan proposed to carry out the gigantic scheme on as magnificent scale as possible is to sell stock in the exhibition to the amount of over a million of dollars, among the different States. Fire and Los of Life. The Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York, caught fire in the laundry, on the night of the eleventh, and twenty-two of the employees in that department were burned or suff4cated to death, in conse quence of there being no egress except by the stairs, which were on fire. It is supposed that some died while asleep. The loss is estimated at about $100,000 in damage to the furniture. Of the five hundred guests none were injured,though the fright is said to have been great. About eighty servants escaped. Newberry Xonumental Asociation.

In the House on Wednesday last a disgraceful encounter took place between two of its members, during which some blood was spilt. Blood will tell, as evi denced not only in this, but in the case of the Senatorial election, in the progress of which it is shown that Mr. Patterson, or 'honest' John, as he is called, bought up the votes of sundry virtuous miem bers to secure his elevation to a fat and easy position.

On Friday the Assett,bly, 'ayjoint bal lot, elected the Hon. R. B. Garpenter,I Judge of the Fifth Circuit, to fill the va cancy occasioned by the resignation of Hon. S. WV. Melton. Ther~e were~three nomainatoions, R. B. Garpenter, who re Si8 votes, L. F. Youans 4@, and t The Arrest of John y. Patterson The result of the election for Senator on Tuesday last brought to light th-t hu miliating fiact, that the Senator elect had resorted to the base use of bribery. Af fidavits to that effect were made before a Trial Justice, upon which Mr. Patter son was arrested, and tubsequently lodged in jail for contempt of Court, but in a short time thereafter was re leased by order of Judge Mackey. Again being brought before trial justice Kirk, other affidavits were made by a number of the virtuous members, showing that bribes in vari ously large and small amounts had been given. On one charge Mr. Patterson has entered his personal recognizaxce in the sum of $500. In another, sureties were requiretl and given in the sum of $5,000. In auother, the same sureties stood for him for $10,000. Mr. Worth ington, (our readers remember this oily gentleman,) as an ally of Patterson in this wholesale and disgraceful system of bribery, was required to give bond in two sums, viz: $5,000 each. And this is one of the steps toward the reform which the people were assured would follow the seating of the Legislative body. Honest John is declared to be the Senator, however, for the term of six years. CJARLESTON, S. C., Dec. 13. DFAR HERALD-Your correspondent ar rived here last Saturday, and found the temperature delightful; but it was brought to a close the following Tuesday night by a severe sleet storm, with rain, which did not clear off till Thursday noon. The shrubbery, trees, and spires covered with the beautiful ice, afforded pretty views by sunlight as well by the light of the moon. Charleston has not been visited by such a "spell" in years. The new Masonic Temple was dedicated on Tuesday at one o'clock. The following was the programme of the dedication: 1. Opening Anthem by the Choir-"Bow Down Thine Ear." II. Grand Master's Address of Welcome. III. Architect delivers Implements to the Grand Master. IV. Uncovering of the Lodge, with music by the band. V. Consecration Prayer by the Grand Chaplain. VI. Dedicatory Services. VII. Anthem by the Choir-"Night Shades no Longer." VIII. Address by M. W. Henry Buist, P. G. M. IX. Anthem by the Choir--How Bright and Fair." X. Collection by the Grand Stewards for the relief of destitute Masons, their widows and orphans. XI. Benediction. The Grand Master's address of welcome, the oration by P. G. M. Henry Buist, and the Grand Master's address were in true Ma sonic spirit. The following are the officers elected : Robert S. Bruns, M1. W. Grand Master. J. B. Kershaw, R. W. Deputy Grand Master.

Falk. On motion of Bro. Bruns, Resolved, That the committee on dis M.nsation,s be hereafter dispensed with. It was determined to hold the next neeting of the Grand Lodge in Charleston. The temple consists of the grand lodge and lue lodge rooms, with ante and preparation ooms. The interior design is graceful. he walls are in imitation of grained free ntone. The grand lodge room is in the form if a parallelogram, with an elegant arched :eiling. The blue lodge room is smaller and s a square. The ceiling forms a dome, with tskylight. Fears are entertained that the tcoustic arrangements of the ball are not ;ood; this may possibly be aggravated by he location of the building-being at the orner of two prominent thoroughfares. The exterior character of the building is the udor Gothic, though not strictly followed. lu the building is not yet completed. When! e central clusters of fluted columns are rmounted and other cnntemplated designs re finished, the building will prove an ele ;nt ornament to the city. A lodge of sorrow is to be held to%night n memory of distinguished masons departed his life. Tbe services will be very impress i-c. Rev. Mr Shand, of Columbia, Chap amn. Last Sunday morning at nine, requiem nass was held at St. Mary's Catholic Church n respect to the memory of Virginia Four ;eaud, wife of Capt. F. W. Dawson, of the harleston News. The services were sweet y impressive. The annual convention of the Survivors' tssociation was held Thursday night, at libernian Hall. General Hood delivered e oration, and Bishop Quintard an ad. tress. We regret that Newberry was not epresented. Happening in the S. C. R. R. Shops we ound Mr. John Reed drawing plans for a int passenger depot for the S. C. and G. & .R. R., at Columbia. The design is ex ellent. The building to be 6>8 feet front, epth 260, and 72 over shed. The ninety-second anniversary meeting of he Medical Society of South Carolina, was eld Monday night. The Right Rev. C. F.

He will officiate in one of thej pisopal Chnrches next Sabbath. Thej ishop is engaged in presenting the claims f the University of the South. The Pavilion Hotel is doing a good busi ess. It was compelled last week to turn many way who sought its hospitable roof. Two ndred and twenty-five guests were seated t its dining tables one day~ last week.-! essrs. Alrrord & Co. have spent many thou ads of dollars in improving the house, and la re etrml3u it shall b0 iferior to 1 Sunday morning Bishop Ilowe confirmed eighteen candidates at St. Michael's. Rev.

The Choral service was observed at the Church of the Holy Communion. The farewell be tveen Rev. J. T. Wightman rnd the children of his charge is said to have been very af fecting. Some of the matters of interest before the citizens here are the building up of the burnt district, a contemplated canal, and the en terprise railroad. The Last Sad Rites. On Friday last. the mortal remains of our niurdered frierd, and esteemed fellow-citi zen, John J. Barre, mere brought to his loved h ro, from n hene he had beeir un wisely banihed, to meet a death, terrible in the enormity of the eiime which laid him low, in a stranger land, lar av.iy from his loved fainily and el.erished assoiates. Death under ordinary, natural circum stances, is sad and heartrending enough, but when it cotn.!s suddenly, by violence, by the hand ot tihe cruel, ;loodtiirst- as sassin, time hiart is ci u.,hed, overwhelmed, in its great ard migl.y grief. Painfully sad was the scene enac:ed at the portal of the house, (which otiy a few mouths ago he had left in the full strength of young and promis:ng manhood,) and which now opened to receive the slaughtered, pulseless form, as father, mother, sisters, brothers and friends dropped their tears upon the casket. It was a scene calculated to touch the heart of the most insensible, and not one there present but felt the sympathy which could not be expressed. On Saturday, at two o'clock, the time ap pointed for the last sad rites, the diffetent organizations of which the deceased was a member, viz : the Odd Fellows and Sons of Temperance, formed in procession, and marched to the house, where were gathered family and friends, from whence the body was borne by bearers from both Societies to the Lutheran Church, to the solemn tolling of the bell, and deposited in the altar. The funeral services by the Rev. Henry Wing ard, assisted by the Rev. John Stout, of the Baptist Church, together with the sweet tones of the choir's music, were impressive ly touching. After which, preceded by the Societies nained, and f7>liowed by an un usually large number of friends, the body was conveyed to its last resting place in Rosemont Cemetery. Here the Odd Fel lows concluded the sad rites, and consigned the remains of their esteemed brother to,its mother earth, where, free of all of life's troubles, it nill lie till siimoned by the Archangel's trump to an immortal life. We mourn the death of our triend, the untimely, cruel death, in common with the entire community, and-fain would we ren der a fitting tribute to one so greatly es teemed for his imiany nianly virtues and ex cellencies of claracter, to one who suffered so much, to one so brave, so true, so gene rous, so kind, but no .sound of praise can reach the closed ears lying coldly, silently itn the tomb. Vain is all earthly praise to him. His friends knew him, and none knew him but to love, none named him but to praise, green be the turf above hint. He is a t peace ! fI MEMORIAX. PUr.ASKI LoDOix. No. 20, L. 0. 0. F. iE WBE RRY, S. C., Dec. 13, 1872. When the cold hand of Death is laid upon the aged, arnd we see the venerable head whitened by the snows of three score yea:s and ten, carried to the silent tomb, we drop the tear of sad regret upon the grave, feeling that man's allotted pe riod ofprobation is passed ; but when the unwel come visitor comes into our midst, and chills with his touch the warm blood of manhood's prime, we start with horror as from a dream, and cannot realize the sad truth that our frieud, la the flush of life and health, has passed from us forever. Such was the sad fate of our late Brother, Joax J. BiARRE. Struck .down by the cruel hand of thme assassin, far away from a happy home and dear friends, in which, and amongst whom, he found everything to make life pleasant and desirable.. This was a sad blow indeed. Warm hearted, manly, generous, a stauch friend, a dutiful and affectionate son, the idol of his parents. What a void in the hearts of those who knew and loved him has been made by his untimely death. Recognizing the hand of a mysterious Provi, dence in thme removal of our Brother from us, we humbly bow in submission to His righteous will, and bear our loss in sadness and resigna tion, trusting that our loss is our Brother's eter nal gain. Be it. therefore, Resolved. That in the lamented.death of JoNx J. BARRE, this Lodge has lost a valued member, a generous, manly and noble hearted Brother. Resolved, That a page in our Minute Bo~ok be dedicated to his memory, to be inscribed with his name, the day of his birth, and of his initia tion Into this Lodge, the Degree to which he at tained, and the time of his death. Resolved, That while we would not invade the sacred privacy of his family, yet we would assure them om our sincere sympathy with them in their deep sorrow. Resolved. That the Brethren wear the usual badge of mourning for thirty days. and that the Lodge be draped in mourning for the sante time. Resolved, Tat a copy of these Rtesolutions he sent to the family of our deceased Brother, in to ken of our heart-felt condolence with them in their bereavement. Resolved, That these proceedings be published in the Newberry HIns LD. N. B. M AZ YCK. SILAS JOlINSTONE, Committee. W. H. HUNT. J. I. Housa Lm, Secretary. Trnbute of Respect.

Be it. therefore. Resolved, That in the death of Bro.

CUrix's AMBUSCADE..-The sly archer, Love, shoots his arrows from many colgns of vantage, but it is doubtful if he delivers his heart-taking shafts from any ambush with more effect than when he arms them from the braids and folds and ringlets of a superb head of hair. Ladies who have not been favored by Nature with this crowning charm of womanhood. can readily and certainly in crease the volume of their hair and impart to it a silken lustre by using LyoN's KATRA IRON.as a daily dressing; while those whom Providence has blessed with a superabundance of this "Glory" of the sex, can preserve it, undiminished, in quantity and undiminished in beauty to the latest period of life. There is a germinatingprincip!e in the KATHAIRON which literally compels the hair to grow. It extirpates scurf, dandruff, and all exfolia tions and excrescences of the scalp wbich interfere with the rapid and healthy devel opment of the fibers. Dr. Tutt's Pils. It is a purely vegetable concentration for keeping the Bowels in zatural motion and cleansing the system of all impurities, and a positive cure for Constipation.

I intend going North in March, and if they will have the same effect as in this climate, I want to take them on with me. Hoping to hear from you soon, I remain, your obed't. serv't., HENRY A. MILLS.
