The Herald is in the highest respect aFam ily Newspaper, devote< to the material in terests of the people of this County and the State. It circulates extensively, and as an Advertising medium offers unrivalled ad vantages. For Terms, see nrst page. Christmas. How long it seems to the little ones since the Christmas of '76: to the older ones it seems but a short space. To the former it marks an era in the advance to manhood or womanhood ; to the latter it checks off another brief year in Time's rap id flight, and reminds them that they are growing old. To all it is a glad and welcome occasion. Not withstanding the adverse opinions and efforts of the "unco gude" and rigidly righteous, Christmas will, in all likelihood, continue till the end of time a season of festivity and social enjoyment. And it is eminently proper that it should be so ; for to the event which it. com memorates the world owes all the refined charities and social ameni ties that distinguish civilized from savage life. That some abuse the occasion is no reason that others should not enjoy it rationally and innocently. Excesses will always be committed on occasions of pub lic rejoicing so long as there are depraved and intemperate people in the world, since a man's mode of enjoying himself will always par take of his inner disposition and character. Above all should Christmas be made a happy sesson for the young. Let them ha.ie the Christmas Tree, even thougha it be an unpretending pine tgee,with only a few cheap toys hinig from its branches. Let the mo iher do without a new bonnet and the .father wear the old coat a while longer if need be, that the little ones may not miss their espected store of Christmas treasures. The most hardened and careworn will scarcely restrain a smile as they re call the enchanted time when they lay awake the night before Christ mas watching for Santa Claus, the glorious awakening the next morn ing, to see, amid the mysterious light of early dawn, stockings fear fully and wonderfully stuffed, and the screams of delight as some long-coveted toy was drawn out by eager little hands. We hope that amid the festivities of the season none of our seaders will do anything for whichi he will afterward be sory Enjoy the day to the fullest bent, but do so de cently To all we wish a merry Christ mas and a happy New Year, with many returns. State News. Mr. Duck Copeland, son of Mr. Geo. Copeland, of Clinton, died at his home, in Laurens County, the 15th inst. The gin-house of Mr. Ferril Mi lam, five miles South of Laurens, was burned the 17th instant, with fifty-eight bales of cotton. Mr. Geo.

TuE ECLECTIC MAGAZINE.-We5 take pleasure in directIng attention to the above named sterling Magazine, and at the same time congratulate its publisher on its enter ig a new volume-the 34th-under circum stances so propitious.

It would no doubt be hi.rhly amusing, and at the same time astonishing, to see a com plete list of all the expressive and "power ful" names of the multitude of short-lived medical preparations placed upon the mar ket during the past few years as "most won derul discoveries" and "infallible cures," (in hoc signo vinces,) by unscrupulous spec ulators and adventurers who, recognizag theC value of aCvertising seek by these means to obtain public favor and popularity for their doubtful end so often entirely wortnless and dangerous Preparations. And it is a genuine pleasure for us to commend Dr. Bull's Cough Syrupi as one of the few really deserving medicines offered to the pvblic. Its adoption by many of our intelligent Phy sicians is due only to its real worth and merit nd hy thousands of families it is regarded as "thle standard household remedy." 1t.

TIIE CROSS-COUNTRY MAILS.-Con gress has appropriated half a million t dollars for horse and stage car routes, r and we may now hope that the labors of the Charleston Postal Committee will be rewarded with success. They have forwarded a number of petitions for additional mail service, and Con gressnen Aiken and Evins are diii- i gently at work in the same direction. Raincy and Cain voted against the appropriation. Where additional mail t service is nccessary (and where is it r not ?) the petitions setting forth the nature of the service desired should be forwarded at once. Either Con Lressman Aiken or Evins will take t carge of them.-Neu-s & (ouiieer. t MUSIC FOR THE NEW YEAR-For a mu sica! young lady, no more appropinate New Years' gift of trifling cost cain be found than I a year's subscription to some valuable mu-e sical monthly.

A bottleoOf Boschee's German Syrup kept about your home for immediate use wvili prevent serious sckness, a large doctor's bill, and per haps death, by the use of three or four doses. For curing Consumption, IIem orrhages, Pneumonia, Severe Coughs, Croup or any disease of the Throat ort Lungs, its success is simply wonderful, as your druggist will tell you. German Syrup is now sold in everylown and village on this continent. Sample bot tls for trial, 10c.; regular size, 75c. I 50-e.o.w.

She had it every week or ten days, and suffered almostC everything but death with it. We think t these Pills are worth their weight in gold. Rev. H. SCHLICHTER, ti Pastor Salem Mission. DOWIE & MOISE, Dc. 28, 52-1m. Charleston, S. C. a NOW AND THEN. a It is only now and then that such men as a Hon. Alex. H. Stephens, Ex-Gov. Smith and Ex-Gov. Brown of Ga., endorse a medi cine fr throat and lungs, and when ihey do it is nretis good evidence that the remedy must >e good for the cure of coughs, colds and r lung affections. They recommend the GLOBE o FLOWER COUGH SYRUP, and their testimo- t ials are to be seen round the ten cent sample bottles of the Globe Flower Syrup, for sale by all druggists in Newberry. A sample bottle relieves the worst cough and will cure sore throat. Regular size bottles, fifty doses, $1. A VERY GOOD REASON. The reason why only one sample bottle of W MERRELL'S HEPATINE for the Liver will be I sold to the same person, for ten cents, by VJ our Druggists, is because of the enormous 1 expense of importing the Hlepatine into this country; but as there are fifty doses in the large size bottles, it seems two cents per dose is cheap enough af:er all for a meiicine thatA cures dyspepsia and liver complaint. All who WI have not had a Eample bottie are ena:led toI one for ten ets. at a' drug stores in New berr. Three doses re 'eve any case of dys ppsia, constipation, indigestion or liver ccm plaint, in the world. Regular size bottles, fifty doses, $1.00. {13 10 CENT Sample Bottles MERRtELL's IEPATINE for the Liver, and GLOBE FLOWER R OGH SYRUP for the Throat and Lungs, at, all drag stores in Newberry. 42-6 mos. -~o Cure Yourselves. The 8th WONDER of the WORLD has been a found in Georgia. The discoverer is a phy- tl sicia of long experience, extensive observa tion and profound judgment, and his discov cry has proven such a blessing to woman, 54 that it is already known throughout the w ountry as "Womian's Best Friend.". With -emarkable quickness and certainty it cures all ases of suppressed menstruation, acute . or chronic, and restores health in every in- ri stance. Dr. J. Bradfield's Female Regulator 'i supplies a remedy long needed in the treat- gi ment of diseases peculiar to woman. This the Medical Faculty knows and admits, while many of our best physicians are using it in daily practice. The medicine is prepared is with great care, by Dr. J.

The old Convention has become a thing of the past, and all disaffection in the Democratic party of the County should eease, and, no doubt, has ceased. Let all delegates turn out, so that the choice of the county may be nominated and elected. Editors, compositors, pressman, "dev il," wish the reader a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, and for the many kindnesses, kind words and ap proving smiles bestowed during the year now nearly to its close, return their grateful thanks and indulge the hope that every one who has helped the HERA.T to weather the financial storm of 1877 will take a paid-up through ticket for the next year; and, further, that each one will endeavor to secure an additional subscriber. The more the merrier, friends. and then the better the paper. REUGIOUS.-The Rev. C. H. Pritch ard, for the past two years pastor of the Methodist Church of this place, preached his farewell sermon on Sun day night. Though . the weather was very inclement, there was a good au dience. His concluding remarks were affecting, and many eyes were suffused in tears. He leaves Newberry to the regret of the entire community, and with the well wishes of all for his fu ture prosperity and happiness. By appointment of the Presiding El der-the Rev. Manning Brown-who was here on Sunday, we will have the gratification of having a sermon from the Rev. Richard Smart, of Greenwood, on next Sabbath morning in the Meth odist Church. The Rev. A. M. Chrietzberg wil not, it is thought, be here until sore time in the next week. There will be preaching at Ebeneser Church (Camp ground) 5th Saturday and Sunday at 11 o'clock. The Sacrament of the Lord's Supper will be administered at the Lutleran Church next Sunday morning. Rev. S. P. Hughes is expected to be present on that occasion to assist in the service. Preparatory services will also b? held on the Saturday afternoon prevaus, at half-past two o'clock. Yoi can look into some mer's faces, even for the first time, and im:nediately feel the strongest inward conviction that they will do to tie to. Ssch a face is that of our esteemed Saluda-Newber ry (Edgefaeld-Saluda-Newbe:ry!) friend, James Y. Culbreath, Esq., who was in our town the othei' day and cane in to see us.
