Entertainment at White Oak.?A very enjoyable and successful entertainment was given by the Young People's Literary Club at "White Oak on the 6th inst. A neat stage had been erected in the school house which for the time served all the purposes of a theatre. The whole programme was successfully rendered by the young people, each and every one of whom seemed to enter into the spirit of their respective roles. The programme consisted of tableaux, charades, instrumental and vocal music, all of which was exceptionally well rendered for - * 1 -1 amateurs, many 01 wnom snuweu ranch artistic skill. An admission fee of twenty-five cents was charged, and netted about thirty dollars, which we understand will be devoted to some charitable purpose. With a "Good smio- the entertainment closed. o - - - - I The Literary Club was formed principally from scholars in the school of Mr. J. S. Brice, although many young people not connected with the school are members. The whole entertainment was under the supervision of Mr. Brice and Miss Maggie Robinsou, and much of the success of the performance was due to their efforts We hope the Literary Club may see I fit to give another performance, and with their small experience they no donbt will be still more proficient. Crops in tiie County.?The following partial report of the crop prospects in Fairfield county appears in the last monthly report of the Department of Agriculture: "W. 1 Tl,n cTM'ino- lir.e i.u? ^5tnr ?i.yv* ?l/l 4,*6 UMO been too cold, and on gray lands rather too wet for wheat and oats.

The following communication appeal's in the News and Courier: In your supplement of the 31st alt., ; in the article entitled the "Battle of Drewry's Bluff," you print concerning "officers and men mentioned for gallant conduct" in Hagood's Brigade, "in Seventh Battalion, South Caroliua Volunteers. Bersrt. J. E. Onbw Com panv H., color-bearer, killed." There was no Onby in that command. Sergt. A. P. Irbv, of Company H, was wounded at Drewry's Bluff on the 16th, and promoted as ensign "for gallantr?" on the 25th May, 1864. He is living, an honored and respected citizen of Laurens county. The first color-bearer killed at Die wRlnfF wfis R<vo+_ .T. "FT. (Intz. of Company H, Edgefield." The next killed was Sergt. J. B. Robertson, of Company B, Fairfield. The colore then fell to Sergt. George W. Kennington, of Company F; Lancaster, who was badly wounded. The fourth colorbearer was Sergt. Preston Cooper, of Company B, Fairfield. Both of the latter were living at the last time I heard of them. . Young Cooper brought out the flag. Its staff was riddled and shot in two, and its foulds had fifty-seven new bnl icl-iivjus tuiuugu tuuuli aiiu. -acic as cleau as 011 the day of their presentation, without a single rent or stain. War. M. Thohas. Charleston, S. C., June 2, 1882. Judge Thomas is in error when he says that Sergt. A. P. Irby "is living an honored and respected citizen of Laurens county.'7 Mr. Irby is a citizen of Fairfield and not of Laurens. Mr. Cooper referred to in the communication above was afterwards shot in the leg at the battle of "Weldon Roads witn rue same oaiue nag in ms uauus. From this wound Mr. Cooper lost his leg. It might be well to add that every one of the color guard was killed or shot down except Mr. Cooper and the flag though punctured with fifty-seven bullet-hoTes not a one of the thirteen stars were touched. . ?_ THE CKOSBY INSTITUTE. The Closing Exerclses---An Acaceiny of which Fairfield Should Be Proud. The Crosby Institute closed with afive days examination on the 13th inst. The exercises on the last day, which were as usual well attended, were entirely voluntary with the pupils and A' wholly extemporaneous, the Board having acted on the advanced conviction that the pnpils should struggle of their own accord for the acquisition of ready, practical knowledge; and that it is on the whole better for the pupils to fail, if necessary, in an examination than for the public to be even tempo ramy deceived with elaborate displays whose preparation bad squandered away perhaps two months of valuable time. The brevity of the time demanded a mutilation of the progrmme. The part exhibited consisted of competitive skill from volunteers in spelling with lirt/YL- nn hlf>f>thnards. fn f which there were about a thousand square feet), and "by heart;" in reading; in writing on paper and blackboards ; in arithmetic; in debating the subject, "Which should wc make our surplus crop, Cotton or Grain?; in singing; and in fancy needle-work. All these were agreeably interspersed An/1 W% rVMIt-1 A Willi VUUU UiJU iliaii uuioiv j and the occasion appeared to be one of much credit to the competitors, of entire satisfaction to the patrons, and of greaj enjoyment (o "one and all." The competition was so close as to render the decisions of the Awarding Committee a matter of some embarrassment. The following prizes, fciven by thu Principal and awarded by the various committees, were presented in his ususl nappy oy tne itev. jui\ jyianonvue butter-dish to Miss Mary L.

Seeiug what we have seen so well wrought out, contrary to all the established views in teaching, we must believe that this Institute, which has vis t 1? loiy cuuu; iu uiijuy me re&ywi, uuuudeuce, esteem and well-wishing of all the intelligence of the surrounding country, is evidently destined to retire some of the treasured tenets of pedagogy, and marks a new educational era-.for this section. That it deserves >nq4ess and is rapidly "vvir.niyg it cauiiwhs doubted by any o?o wlio attend thcimpromptu examinations. THE DEMOCRATIC CX.VJJS. The "Winnsboro Club.
