The writer was privilegd, in com pany with several from our Town, to receive an iuvit it ion to an fsraclitish wedding at Lowisvillo, S. C. The parties were relatives of our learned townsman "RA.nni" Ilten, who seemed, with his son, to act as tnastt r of ceremonies. Three vehicles containing seven men, left Town at 3 p. ni., and after a pleasant ride of some 13 miles, found themselves in Lewisville before the appointed hour. G p. in. Wo received a cordial welcome and stood prepared to witness a cere mony new to most of our party. After a little delay, several young men took from a corner of the room a curious long package, which,on being openvd, proved to be "TilK CAXOPY." This was the Pnradice?a representa tion we suppose where Adam was ma rriod. Four stout mahogany uprights with circular bases, were placed in the centre of the floor and connected tit the top by cross pieces. Over this was thrown a white cloth canopy, etilight up in loops with cord and tassels. Stretched from one post to another was a wide blue ribbon, hav ing printed, in the hebrew character^ a welcome to the bride ami groom. A table was placed in centre, upon which we saw a small silver pitcher containing wine, several wine-glasses and a lamp. The Rabbi or priest, Rev. Steely of Columbia, S. C, then came forward ho'diilg in his hand a bag. He was a small, dark man with very bright and intelligent eyes. On a si^n from him, the bride was brought from her room by two bridesmaids, while two ^o.ousmen pro liiceil the trembling groom from iuio?"her- quarter. They were placed side by side aud then all present were requested to place their hats upon their heads during the. ceremony. The scene nt this point was very striking. The bride in her costly and beautiful attire, seemed to fully appreciate her position and Iii?I her face from view? the groom, also handsomely dressed, I with the maids and men attendant, standing in wailing attitude, while the guests Jew and Geutile looked on expectant. The Knbbi here opened his bag, j from which he took a book, a cap and a sash. Having opened his book, he placed the little eap upon his head und threw the sush over his shoulders. The couple faced the East and having clasped hands the ceremony commenced by the Priest solemnly asking each one if he or she desired wedlock, somewhat in this way, "I ! ask thee, Lcophole-, soli of Abraham-, dost thou desire to have the woman whom you now hold by the hand? Dost tluu, in the presence of Almighty God. of these men of your race and oi these many witenessts voluntarily declare your desire to have this woman to wile according to the instituted order oT holy religi in and the custom of your | race? Then answer, "I do !" Jh the same manner the bride was j made to signify her wiliincss. Then i the Priest .iufmed in the soft hebrew a part of the service, lifter which tak ing a ring from his pocket he caused the groom to put it upon the finger of the bride., After sonic further reading, the Priest to>.k a glass of wine and pre sented it in turn to bride and groom who each sipped it as did also the Priest. Then two Of the assisting ministers, one of whom was "Rabbi'' Rich, read from the hebrew book and held the glass of witio. Alter which the Priest declined the couple man and wife and placing a wine glass be ncath the feet of the groom, the latter, w ith his foot, crushed it into frag ments and the Priest said: "May it forever be as impossible to sunder you two, as it is impossible to join to gether these fragments." This closed the ceremony and the whole pai'tyi after heaving music from the Orungeburg string l and, marched in to supper. A large table, prob nbly fifty or sixty feet long, was load* ed with everything the taste could desire nud, after partaking of its bounties, the guests ^proceeded to spend the evening as best pleased them. Tnis Wedding feast was prefaced and concluded by solemn and pecu liar religious ceremonies. On the winde it was a remarkable occasion, anil one notable fact was the perfect good-will, joyousuess and hospatality exhibited. Our hebrew friends know how to enjoy themselves in moderation. During the whole proceedings not an unpleasant word was heard and not a sign of immoderation in any respect was visible. The most noMceoble items were the beauty and solemnity of. the services, the handsome costumes of the bridal party and the tasteful abundance of the wedding feast. To "Rabbi" Rich, the Orangeburg guests arc indebted for a rare aud pleasing privilege. Yours, Obherve r. -mW* - [FOlt the news and times.] Convention School Trustees Orangebarg County.

Editors Chronicle and Constitution' aliat: I was last week at the \Yhite Sulphur Springs, in Virginia, where; I met Commodore Pegratn, who is eo well known throughout the country, j In the course of conversation, at? which Dr. WilliamHuger, Mr. Frank j Huger nnd other Cliarlcstoninns were,i present, the Commodore gave us the ! following information, which was so % new to all of us that I determiued t'dE publish it, which I now do, with thq*j Commodore's consent, that the geutlo"**1 man whose heroic conduct is narrated'" may receive nt the hands of his folio wf citizens that honor which he has ?3> richly merited. In the year 180?^ Commodore Pegram, then in cdmi mnnd of the Nashville, was, with his: wife, in English wntcrs. One day a very bright-eyed, intelligent, well mannered young gentleman, an I2ug?jj lishmnn, came to him, and asked that he might take passage with him toy the Southern States, as he wanted ty^'l come and join the army of the Sout!v?P erti States. Commodore Pegram rc-tf fused the request,saying he ^as under age and he could not think of takinat. the fouth out among strangers, to rurt? all the risks of war. The young man, besought the Commodore, hut in vain." he asked if he could get the cousentf of his guardian if he would theu let him have passage? The Commodore) still declined. Tho youth then ttcntl to Hon. W. L. Yancey, then iu Lou.* don. He so worked upon Mr. YauiT, ccy's feelings that he wrote an earn*^ est request to the Commodore to bringj the young man over. Still the Cojn-; modorc refused. Just then the Q?een' of England, Jinviug gone down to^the const, and seeing the Tuscaror^, trod' Nashville iu port, ordered hnth to Sea. This command, for rca-ions, the Com mud ore declined lo obey, and ho.wtint* up to London to arrange for his sW**^ While away, sotnc hands were shipp^d/a on the Nashville, and in dueco^ftstj^ tUc. pv.t out to c.oq .-Somo-dava^^B^ the Commodore was accosted by'a veiy bright youth, who was all bo jrrimed with coal dust and dirt. He asked who he was and where he hud conic from, and, to his surprise, found it was the young man who had tried to come as passenger. He told the Commodore ho must ovorlook it, but he had determiued t > fight for the South. The Commodoro, pleased with his spirit, told the officer of the ship to put him to some other work. One day, a cortain paper passing through the young man's bauds to the Commddore, he said it was very bad English, and, if the Commodore would allow him, he would correct it. This was done, and so excellent was the report as made out by the youth, that the Commodore immediately made him the Captain's clerk. On the arrival of the Nashville in the South, the Commodore informed the secretary of the Navy of his appoint ment, and asked that it he continued, this was ai once done. Soon after this Commodore Pegram was put in command id the James River squad ron, and took the English youth with him, to whom he had become greatly attached. The Commodore says more faithful or intelligent service he has never seen rendered than did that young man give to a cause lor which he had left country and friends, and had come, a perfect stranger, to help them iu thoir struggle for constitu tional freedom. The fleet iu tho James River was, for a long while, iu active. It seems-that this young man's spirit chafed, for ho had come to fight, aud so one uight a splash was hea rd alongside of tiie ship, nnd soon a man was seen rowing over toward the enemy. Tiure was a general dis charge of guns at him, hut it was uot known w bother he was hit or who he was. Tho roll was called, and none was missing but tho young English man. The Commodoro was very much hurt by this, but ho felt sure it would bo explained. A few days afterwards there was a very heavy on gagement, in which Capt. Pograin's battery was iu the thickest. After tho fight Commodoro Pegram receiv ed a message from his rolativc, saying there was a young Englishman with i them badly wounded who wished to *fiee him. Tho commodore went at once. Capt. Pegram told him that he had"never witnessed stich cool bravery ?in his life as this young man had dis played; that he knew he had come from his ship; he had told all the cir cuutstances. Ho bad swam out to wards tho Yankees to escape our seutinels, but had turned as soon as ^possible ami swam to Capt. Pegram's battery where ho had taken part in 'tho light, aud had been severely wounded in the leg and the shoulder. The commodore had him taken to Mrt. Cury's, in Richmond, and care .fully nursed. While there an order was issued for an examination of men for office in the ordnance department. Commodore Pegram furnished his young friend with books, and came ?t\Vo or three times a week to examine jiim. The commodore says he pro -.greased so rapidly that soon '.to found [himself unable to examine him, as he knew more about it than ho did. He .-introduced the young woutili I man tri .a certain gentleman in Richmond ^who had some very line horses. This ^gentleman conceive^u di a liking for tho intelligent, bravo young fellow that he ottered him the pic't of his horses if he would come out No. 1 in the examination. This the youth 'modestly said could scarcely be ex pected. Well, said the gentleman, pass your exam hint inn and you shall have the second choice. The examina tion came off, tho young man came out No. 1. The best horse of the stuhle* was given him, and still wounded and against remonstrances he reported for duty. Before the war was over he had pushed himself up to the first position in his department. .Commodore Pegrain's history is mach longer than this, but it may be sum med up in these words?that in all \hh experience of men he never met j^fpilh ? more devotion ' to duty, more ffiSffi-^ action, seldom more ability tban-1 ms^uuuf,? j tJioV:.?7 <> di^ilnjk ed on all occasions, and in oiVry p'sy linn, and now he has for him the most sincere and devote ! aifjctidn. The circle to whom those things were told were all so ignorant of thorn that it occurred to us that many others were curious, and that was only due to ourselves that we should all know the record of one wdio has for weal or woe cast in his lot among us. This young Englishman, my fellow-citi zens, is none other than F. W. D.tw son, Esq., one of the able editors of the Charleston Nicies ami Courier. All honor to whom honor is duo.

Phosphates.?When phosphates fail at the root of the plant, grain fails at the mill; and when, from waste at the mill, phosphate fail in the bread, tho hones and tho teeth fail in grow ing bodies. The improvidence that leav2s excretory phosphates to be washed away to the salt sea, farther from the reach of life than they were in the piimitive rocks, is an improvi deuce that prepares an inheritance of poverty for after generations; and the ruthlessness that permits the pur veyors of food to sift phosphates from the food of men, docs its part to en feeble the present generation.? Amieut B. Prescott, in Popular Science Monthly. Efjtts for Winter Use.?It is a foolish plan to be seeking the best method for "putting down egg." This used to be deemed one of tho first tests of thrifty house keeping?the number of eggs put down for winter use. But a much hotter way is to have your eggs fresh tho year round. If hens have enough to eat and of tho right material, they will lay in Win ter as well as Summer. Farmers always expect to feed some grain to the fowls; then if thoy would save all of the waste meat that accumulates in the fall to feed tho lions iu the winter, they would be rcpaidjn fresh eggs. This makes good work for the boys, in saving such refuse, insomo out building, to chop up and uso when needed.?American Poultry Journal. A Georgia Farmers Experience.
