Damages Against the C. N. & L. Railroad. LAfRENs, Feb. 2.-In the court of Common Pleas to-day. H. M. Hunter obtained a verdict against the Colum-. bia, Newberry and Laurens Railroad for $1,250. B unter's ground for dam ages was that his ginhouse, with a number of b:aes of cotton, located very near the railroad track, was set on fire by a passing locomotive. His loss was at a reasonably low estimate, the amount of the verdict. Ferguson & Featherstonle represented by Hunter and the railroad was repiesented by J. W. Barnwell of Charleston and WV. H.

'resident Cleveland's Secretary of the Navy Was Born In Old Mollohon. Col. Hillary A. Herbert was born in S34 in Newberry County, most likely n the Mollohon section, and not in Laurens as has been stated. His parents noved here, however, in his babyhood ind the first ten or twelve years of his ife, the days when he was a "barefoot yoy" in summer and hunted rabbits ,vith the darkies in winter, were spent n Laurens. He is said to have been a fat, chubby ittle fellow, with a handsome face and &n unusually big head. People spoke )f him as that "big headed little boy." A lady tells me "that he -.as exceed ogly fond of dogs and girls." The Foung ladies at his mother's boarding 3ouse were constantly making much b )f him and be did not fail to reciprocate 1w tbeir attentions even though he bad N aot then entered his teens. P He was cheery and bright but was a r( itudent from the first. "He wasastrik- al ing boy" says Dr. Barksdale, "who by I bis brightness and deportment at- N tracted notice wherever he went. He k 4ot started exactly right,-and it seems S tat he has been keeping on in that iourse over since." b The fact seems to stand out conspicu- sf )usly that he had a mother who P anderstood the art of making a man >ut of a boy. 0 He had several sisters. One of them, tl Nliss Aurelia Herbert. married a Mr. d Calhoun in Alabama, a relative of the Calbouns of this State. ti The family moved to Greenville, d Ala., in about 1846 or 1847. Col. Herbert was at the University ti )f Virginia with several Laurens boys, mong them, Mr. Creswell Garlington, N Sfaj. Henry Farley, and the late Col. Will Farley, all of whom were his rriends. Between himself and the late Col. R. P. Todd, there existed a most p evoted friendship which lasted until E 7ol. Todd's death. p cl The father of the prospective head of b he navy department was Thomas Her ert, a school teacher born in Newberry 'ounty. He had charge of several old field schools" in early life, but itter his marriage came to Laurens ourt House and taught the Female Academy. Then as now Laurens was amed for her common schools and the a wo academies attracted pupils from ar and near. Mr. Herbert was assisted n his school by his wife of whom I ihall speak further on. He is remem ered as a quiet unassuming man, in lined to be stout, well informed and levoted to his profession. He was ioted for his extreme modesty and version for anything that savored of he unclean e,nversation. cl As is the lot of most teachers he was 8 be frequeent victim of the practical I okes of school boys. On one occasion be was aroused at midnight by the c oud ringing of the school bell. Calling P Peter," his trusty slave they marched jpon the building elated with the idea )t catching the evil doers in the very ct. After "surrounding" the house L ind cutting off all means of escape, ,hey entered and found the bell rope re ed to a calf, who was innocently, but rantically, disturbing the slumbers of the neighborhood. "A remarkable woman" is the lan Zuage used by a gentleman who knew ber well in describing Mm. Dorothy aerbert, his wife. She was the daugh- a ter of Abner Young, a well to do plant r, of old Scotch-Irish stock whose an estors came to South Carolina from hirginia. The latter was a first cousin to the father of Mr. Jesse Young who now lives here thoroughly enjoying a ripe old age. Mrs. Herbert's maternal grandfather was "Davy Mason," a fa rous miller who lived near the New berry line. In this way she was re-A lated to the Langston family. Her brother, Mason Young, wh'o was dep sty sheriff and merchandised here, was one of the noted characters of the town and county in their early days. He was a wit, full of fun and deviltry ad a royal, jolly, good fellow. Miss Florella Young, a sister of Ma-S son Young and Mrs. Herbert, is de lared by some to have been the hand- E iomest woman that ever lived in this tl auntry. She married Addison Posey, now of Alabama.a Mr. and Mrs. Herbert came to Lan- b rens about 1835. They lived in the "old boarding house" which was burned two y years ago. They took boarders and a there were always from a dozen to fif- e teen girls, daughtheia of the leading y planters and slave holders, in the house. s o these Mrs. Herbert was a veritable mother as well as instructress and by them she was sincerely loved. She was si a woman of active, strong intellect and si executive ability and was regarded as a a most excellent teacher. As Dr. ti no. A. Barksdale remarked to the f< writer, "No one who knew Mrs. Her bert remembers her except with feelings of admiration and esteeta for her char c ter" i, Col, Herbert visited Laurens in 1854, C just as he bad finished college and again four or,five years ago. On the t, latter occasion he came on the sad b mission of visiting his boyhood's b friend and companion, Col. Todd, who was then on his deathbed. This- visit is a striking illustration of the loyalty and devotion of his character.-W. W. Ball, in Laurens Advertiser, Feb. 28. t Nurerous unsolicited testimonials daily received t-v its proprietors clearly demonstrate the fact that the reputa tion of Dr. B'ull's Cough Syrup, the in fallible cure for all affections of the t: throat and chest, has suff'ered no dimi nution in the last quarter of as century.

The world is making history very fast tnese days, and there are many things they may wish to remember in the future. They should also keep a debit and credit account with themselves and a diary. The small amount of time de voted to a concise and tersely written diary would be well spent. The Cleveland Academy closed last Friday night with an exhibition of the skill and proficiency of the pupils in a well arranged programme of music and recitations creditably rendered. The school numbers 165 pupils and is presided over by Principal C. E. Wil liams, assisted by Miss Phillis Adkin son. The teachers are capable and ex emplary and we are told that the at tendance, progress and behavior of the scholars have been very good. We are pleased to know that the colored peo ple have so good a school in their midst. It is sad to think of the wanton de struction of the families of birds and animals alike all over the world. Some species of animalsand birds are extinct, and it is to be regretted that a whole sale destruction of game, non-game and insect-eating birds continues with una bated fury. And at home, with us, that charming minstrel of the wood lands, the garden and the grove-the Carolina mocking bird-is ruthlessly slaughtered by the thoughtless slayers of small birds. "Listen to the mocking-bird" in the silence of some beautiful moon-lit night, r in the quiet hours of some lovely summer's morning, as the full, rich tones of its melodious voice vibrate upon the air. Note the strength of its voice, its wonderful powers of imita tion, and the variety, purity and sweet ness of its music, and then remember that it destroys insectiferous life that would otherwise prey upon your fruits and vegetation, and then determine whether you can sanction the killing Df these innocent birds simply, for sooth, because they eat a little of the fruit they help to protect for you. These "tenants of the free, barren ir," whose exquisitely builded homes are "made without hands," should be welcomed under the eaves of your bouses everywhere. Protect the mocking bird, for the law would protect it; and let it eat a litUe fruit as payment for the work it does ror you. The mocking-bird is not beau tiful. Providence distributes his gifts and did not give it both voice and plumage, yet its phenomenal music aallenges our admiration and should rorbid its destruction. We wish that the ladles, who are coing so much on many ethical lines f duty, to-day, would turn their atten tion to the devising of ways and means to protect the birds of beautiful plum age.

Is He the Xturderer? About three weeks ago a strange ne gro went to Mr. J. B. Crooks', Walton, and hired himself to a negro- on the place. A few days ago Mr. Crooks saw the following in the Atlanta Constitu tion: RALEIGH, N. C., February 3.-One of the most mysterious murders com mitted in North Carolina last year was that of venerable Adam Siler and Re becca his wife, near Siler City, Chat ham County, December 23d.... Last night th3e jury returned a verdict that a negro calling himself Phillips, alias Williams, was the murderer and that be killed them both with a pistol, shooting them at night in their house. To-day GJoy. Carr offered $200 reward for the murder, who is a dark mulatto, 22 years old, .5 feet six inches high, and weighs about 130. He has a scar near the left ear." The'description fit the negro at Mr. Crooks' in every particular, and the negro's trlk about events in North Carolina near the scene of the murder still further confirmed the suspicion. So on Tuesday Mr. Crooks arrested the negro and sent him to Newberry jail, where he now is. Deputy Sheriff Chalmers has written to the Sheriff of Chatham County. The negro passed at M1r.
