REMINISCENSES OF NEWBERRY. Former Newberrian, Now of Texas, Writes Interestingly Of The Days Of "No More"-The Newberry'of Old. My last closed with "true bill, Daniel Goggans, foreman." In a Herald and News, sent me by my Id friend Dr. S. G. Welch, was the lure of Mrs. Hun Herbert, so well emembered by wife and me as a sprightly, handsome girl, and also one of Goggans' daughters, upon which I involuntarily exclaimed, 'True Bill, Daniel Goggans, fore man." Afterwards I saw "Ex-Con fed's" account of its origin, which may be true; but I think it came from the fact that Goggans was often on the grand jury, and his known common sense, stern uprightness of character, and fine qualities as a citizen, caused him to be made fore man-and that thus the affirmation rose. A certain squad of mischievous young men, (they may have been "YEx-Confed's" crowd), rocked thle log house in which two women lived, and as they charged they sang this b)at.tle cry, ''Hail Columbia, happy landl, If I dlon't kill you I'll he d--d !"' \The grand1 jury vinwed1 the caso: result, "True bill, Daniel Goggans, foreman," (doubtless.) The court in1 'terviewed them: result, guilty and sintene of several mont hs ini jail, by udge O'Neall. I don't think they ever forgave the good 01(1 1Jndge. They had a rollicking t ime in the debtor's room in the oil jail, ai p.eu SIarr old1 gent Fran k Prie being Ijailor; t.hey afterwards be<'miu good citizens and1( energehe, pro gre'ssive In the days of "noI( more"' was the circus, pure' anid simple --o sd show barnacles-thle tenuts of tiny proportions, con.pa)ired with Ithose' or the present day ; pitch - umd nnlv in Thos.

WVithI it Daun litice's negro minstrels. Here are coline of the verses that linger in my memory: "WValk in Sambho, dlon't standl dar a shaking, Dec peas in deC pot, and de lioe cake a baking." ''0 Rose, (de coal black Rose, I wish I may be shootedl--ef I dlon't lub Rose." "'Old Zip coon's a mitey apt scholar (three times)\ Possum tup de gum st.ump, coonley inl de hollem."

Then Rice's popular song: "First upon de heel, den upon de toe, And ebery time I wheel about I do jis so, Wheel about, an turn about, I jump Jim Crow." Oh, how the urchins tried circus tricks! Every little fellow that had melody in his soul made the echoes ring with these songs. In my last, going from the Baker grove, I jumped to the Gum Spring. I love to linger around the grove where Baker preached. His powers over the emotions of an audience were unsurpassed since the days of Whitefield. As we go up the road to the Black Jack we meet wagoner Spence, driving his fine six horse team, the four front ones, each with a chime of bells, and as he cracks his whip. sprinkles off a little shower of bell ringing and goes melodiously on his way. Next we are at the Black Jack, famous in its day as the stopping place of immense droves of Ken t.ucky hogs, horses and mules. Big Dave B3oozer, who afterwards blew off the top of his head, reigned su premue. IHe was' a sharp, keen trader, a jolly laungher. lie also mnerchani dised and sold liqnor, miuch to the sorrow of the good women and chil diren and brought misery to many a poor family. He prospered and be coming rich wVas esteemed a goodl citizen. The manty poor women and1 chil dreun above alluded to might well have said: '"Tell me I hate the bowl, Hate is a feeble word, I loathe, abhor, my very soul By strong dlistrust, is stirred, When'er I see, or hear, or tell Of the (lark beverage of H[ell." Passing on by the Beth 10den road we sect on thI'.' left a double pi ne t ree, said to have been a famous (leer sitandc, and1( at which (Col. Pat Cald. wvell was often.

Rome had a sure robust, common sense and rectitudo of Ohrist. She was of the excellent of the earth. I had a kind affection for them and often visited them. I boarded with them while going to school to Mr. Galloway at Head Springs, also Dr. G. W. Glenn and his nephews, Thos. 0. and Jeff E. Brown, two lovely and intelligent little fellows. Wash was strict upon them, and I proposed the next time he was hard on them, that we would pitch into him; luckily we didn't pitch, for Wash would have worn us out. Mr. Sloan and my father had been Covenanters and warm friends and when my mother came to pay my board, he would have none of it. While here Mr. Galloway appeared with his bride nee Miss Martha Speers. She had rare intellectual attainments and unfeigned piety. "Love, sweetness and goodness in her person shined." Long Jimmy was a pious man. After supper he would sit in a chair, leaning against the wall, sleep for an hour, then wake up and hav,e family prayer. Passmng through a strip of woods, on the left we see the grave of He ferivon, a suicide. There wvas more than ordinary cruelty of death anid forget fulness about that grave so desolate. "To dic, to sleep. To sleep, p)erchance to dream. A ye ! there's the rub; For in that sleep of death wvhat dreams may come, When we have shuftled off this mortal coil." On the next hill was the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Kellar. She belonged to that true blue Presby terian Scotch Irish family--the Gla1s gows-and was a worthy representa. Live of them. Opposite Kollar's stands lHead Springs (A. R P.) Seceder Church. H're worshiipped my fathers anid here I helonged. "'I thIiink the herb of grace growvs strongest and swveet est ini count ry churches.'' As I t hinkc of it, hallowed memories andl purer aspi ratimonwe tir to life ini my heart.

J anvier in H;trper's Mag azine, says that in I(1I8, deacons, elders and parsons in Connectient, with a clear conscience owned slaves and branded them like cattle; and the pious old gents made their slaves attend worship, following at a re spectful distance buthind them and sit in the "nigger's pew." So at Head Spring a few negroes, "not lranded," occupied thbeir a-ppropriate place in roar of the congregation. But negroes in a Presbyterian church remiinded me of old Mose and his Miaster. Mose had been ai Presb)y teriani. Attending a big meeting, he joinled the M',. E. Chuiirch, whtereuponi his Master said: "1-ow's t his, y'ou joined the M E. Churchi? I brought you up bet tor.''
