W ?A gentleman who has been in the . country for tho last day or two, in ^ forms us that the' crops are now grow^4 ing very rapidly. He didn't say how ; it was with the grass. ?Those who believe in the old I r maxim that "a bad beginning indicates!1 a good ending" will be inclined to take a very hopeful view of the crops at 1 ! * present. ?We hear of several picnics to come ] off at different points in the county ^ now soon.

Two defendants 1 M were bound over on Tuesday, charged j L with aggravated assault and battery, ' ijP and a warrant has been issued for a third, who whipped his wife within j an inch of her hie. ?Miss Julia Jackson has invited the , "Stonewalls'' of Chester to attend her wedding. Had she known of the celebrated fire company here which bears the same honorable designation, we venture to believe that she would not have overlooked them. ?A young man of town speaks of ' entering the field now soon as a popu- : lar lecturer.

Death.?Mr. "William M. Boyd, a well known citizen of this county, died on the 23rd inst., in the seventy-third year of his'age. Mr. Boyd came to this county from Ireland in 1S22 and has lived a quiet and useful life. He was a consistent member of the M. E. Church. He leaves a wife, several children and many friends to mourn | his loss. Deatii.?Little Chalmers McMaster died on Thursday night from the injuries which lie received a few days ago in falling from the second story of his father's residence. lie was a bright and interesting little fellow, and all who knew .him will feel much regret at his untimely end. We tender our sympathy to the grief-stricken family. A P;;ize I)niLf>Proposed.? We hear J of a prize drill to come off some time J this suminer.under the auspices of the i Catawba liifle?, '.of Rock Hill. We suppose it will be open to all militia sompanies in. the State, and we are free to say that we are heartily in favor 3f it. Nothing could do more to ads ranee our militaryorganizations. The Grordons take the suggestion very favorably. Bicycles.?It, is said that a number gentlemen "in town h:we ordered bicycle?, and many of those who walk now will no doubt soon walk no more forever. It does not cost quire so much to keep one of them as the horse, but they are, on the other hand, not half so trustworthy as that noble amain!. They throw, as we arc informed, without regard to race, color or previous condition of servitude. Ix the Trial Justice Court.? On Saturday the case of the State vs. Tames Dixon, charged with trespass on the lands of another after notice, was beard, lie was found not guilty. In the case of the State vs. Louisa Hawthorn and Francis Hawthorn, charged with the wilful and malicious setting fire to woods, a preliminary examination was held. The defendants were committed to await trial at the next term of Court.

[f the unfortunates conelnded to take results as cheerfully as the fellow who was convicted here a year ago, and thanked the Court politely for a sentence of two years at hard labor, they may have the satisfaction of feeling that they are aWcast philosophical. | * "" \ A Ttrvpat Oppw??In m-rlor to advance oar suliscription list-we Lave decided to make the: following offer; To any one sending- ns one dollar 'cash we will send the weekly News and Herald till Januarv, 1S8C, "or for t J* .

Preliminary Hearing.?On Tuesday a preliminary hearing in the case of the State vs. William Shuley was heard. Shuley it will be remembered is the party who was arrested a few days ago, charged with trying to get , up a fire at sombody's else expense. The evidence against him, however, was not thought, very conclusive, and he was allowed to go. It is to be hoped that the efforts to ferret out the authors of the incendiarism of last Wednesday will not stop here. A community that has a knight of the torch should get rid of him by some means.Criminal Carelessness.?It is said that one of the Columbia girls while hc:'e on Liie recent picnic expedition, shot an accidental glance all the way across Congress street which "struck" an iunocent young fellow who was walking leisurely about in front of the Court House offending nobody. He has apparently been suffering the keenest agony ever since, and is at present in a very critical condition.' "We have no objection, indeed we arc glad to have the girls from everywhere visit our town, but really they ought to try wLue Here, to jook around with some regard for the rights of others. Straw berry Ffstiyal. ? We acknowledge with thanks an invitation to attend 1 he Strawberry and Ice-cream Festival to l?o given at the Blackstock Academy on the eve of tl>e 29th inst.; under llv? auspices of the Benevolent Society cf Concord Church. The purpose of I be entertainment is to raise Hinds lor erecting an iron tencc around the graveyard of the church. The obobjcctis certainly a most commendable one, r.ncl we hope the entertainment will be both largely attended and liberally patronize:!. Bad Bors versus Birds' Xests.?We hear sever ll parties complaining that some mischievous boys of town, are trving just now to break up all the birds' nests. It is not necdfnl to suggest to th^se young' gentlemen, that such enterprises are not looked upon with favor by fight-minded people. They are fally aware of the fact. But we remind them that a gentleman of town, who has had hi; mocking birds' nest destroyed, announces that he will take occasion to administer moderate correction to the first fellow found lurking ai\>u;ul his yard, without any ostensible business. Damnum: Absque Ixturia.?A gentleman who has been in the habit ot coming to n* for advice, now for a long time and who has got a good deal of very valuable information out of us for nothing, has succeeded in puzzling us at last, lie wants to know what a fellow is to do when his sweetheart, "a rare and radiant maiden,7 goes to making frivolous objections to his personal appearance:. It strikes us that we have heard the same complaint made before, but we can only say to our friend that ihcre ? re some wrongs for which there is no corresponding remedy. The Plumk Dkiij..?The annual plume drill of the Gordon Light Infantry will come oif on 1 he third of June next. Two plumes vt ill be awarded? one to the best drilled non-com aiissioned officer, -the other to the best drilled private. It is said tiiat no invitations will be.^er.t out hi lawn, but all arc to consider themselves invited nevertheless. A number of young ladies IVortr YorkviL'e ;ind Columbia are expected to be pivsent, and etforts will be made to secure the attendance of the Italian Band of Charlotte. After tKe drill there will be adance. All gentlemen in town who attend will be rcquiredu to pay an admission fee of twenty-five cents. A Resolution of Thanks.?Alter (he regular exercises of Marion Street Sunday School this morning, the following resolution vras unanimously adopted.^ That our sincere thanks are hereby extended to the following persons, for favors shown to the school during its recent, annual picnic, at' Winnsboro, S. C.: Mr. John S. Cathcart, for free use of wagon; Gordo n Light Infantry and Mr. J. II. Cumin: ngs, for benches and boards for tables-; Mr. John McCarlev, Mr. 15. Sngei lheirner, and the * ' t ? r> j.

Charles Chandler, and to the citizens generally for favors and many kincl attention shown us, and to whom we 1 eel under obligations and we hope to be able at some future day to reciprocate the same attention shown us. Sunday May 24, *16 85. The Columbia Picnickers.?The picnicking party of the Marion Street Methodist Sunday School of Columbia arrived in town on' a special train on JL'iiursaay morning ac aooui v o ciock. They repaired at onci; to the "Fortmve Spring Wood," and it is said enjoyed the day immensely. The young ladies were very "pretty, .even for Columbia, but if'we accept (he criticism of the boys here very few of the young ladies were, possessed of those peculiar personal attractions which sometime ena bie the- carriage dri ver to become the hero of a romance. Thi=, however, is from the opposition, and before committing ourselves toaeatagorical statement, Vv'e will hear from the other side. The crowd was not very large, but was perhaps large enough for all practical purposes. They returned af about 5 p. m. American Brains in American Hands.?Dr. Mayers lecture on Monday night, as we have already taken occasion to say, was well received. For an hour and a half he held the attention of his audience, and there was not'the least exhibition of restlessness. Be is not an orator, however, and employs none of the devices of oratory. In a perfectly natural off-hand way, he pats forth his most important conclucrAnc Vmf will hr* ocnPfinl iyNftull, who fails to discover at once lhat. he is addressed by a patient and original thinker, llis discourse was happily entitled "American brains in American hands," and we regret that we. cannot give a verbatim report of same. It would be as a missionary tract to those who think that progress ! i . m . i. . !i A* mi__ is possioie witnoui eaucanon. j.ue objection?urged in some quarters of late?that education will unfit certain classes for the practical duties of life, was met and disposed of by the lecturer in a masterly 'maimer. He ?o;ntcd out what should be patent to oil* oivmmnnf nomolr tViof this lever does not lift men out of their sphere, but rather elevates both together. lie gave some attention to the ethics of the school-room too, and said .enough in this connection to in-i volvc the thoughtful teacher in profound reflection. The causc education owes much to Dr. Mavo. * A Sharper in Columbia.?C. A.Boyd, alius C. A. Brock ford, a young man of minimum character and maximum check came to Columbia and soon, it seems," worked his way into the good graces of socicty. He sang nr. thp "Enisr.rvnal chnwh nnrl nt private concerts, and was a frequent guest at private entertainments; spent his money liberally, talked about his fme estate at the Xortb, etc., and became so popular generally that it was not considered the thing to be outside of the circle of "Brockford's" funds. Ilis career, however, was brought to an abrupt close on Monday. A circu ?BHMaa>w*?wBMaw<a<fTrr??wwij mrin ? " 1 - ??

Two authors contribute the opening article, ''Estimates of General Grant," the Rev> Edward E. Hale and Richard B. Kimhill T.T.D - f'n<?v dismiss Grant as a Genera], as a President, and his place in history. This article is accompanied by a splendid portrait, and a number of scenes in Grant's career. "The j Beginning of an Old Bank," by Henry "W-. Domett, describes the career of the Bank of New York. It is accompanied by portraits of some of the officers and directors and facsimiles of checks by Aaron Burr and Talievrand. '"Fort Marion, at St. Augustine," by M. Sey- \ mour, is a very interesting description of the oldest city in the United States. It is profusely illustrated. The musical reader will turn at once to '-A Half-hour with Bow-Kings," with its portraits of Paganini, Ole Bull, "\ViIheluij, Maurice d'Engremont, Joachim and Madame Nonnan-Neruda. "Educating the Indians," by Mary M. Meline, is a very interesting dcscrip-1 tion of the workings of the Indian school at Carlisle, Pa. The article has thirteen illustrations, large and small, j These arc only a few of the notable features of this brilliant number. The .price is twenty-five cents a number, or $3.00 a year, postpaid. Published by AT! ? "Frank T,pslir?_ 5oo and 57 Pa*k Phee, New York. Lulu Hurst.?Miss Lulu Hurst, the "Georgia "Wonder", whose exhibitions have excited the curiosity of people all over the United States, will appear at Boags Opera- House on next Friday night. Perhaps the best introduction of Miss Hurst may be gathered from some of the notices she has recently had from the press: . "I Buffalo Courier: Miss Lulu Hurst, I the magnetic girl, about whom so much j has lately been written and whose in- j explicable feats have baffled alike the j learned and the unpretentious, made her first appearance before a Buffalo audience last evening at Music Hall. Those who witnessed the remarkable performances of the magnetic girl, and j there was a large attendance, were . more than ever impressed with the i TT-Anrlflre \rlll I in ua LilUU >> UUUVi O IF Hi >l\,f vv VVMVW. . Many had come determined to fathom j I the "mysterious power by the aid of | which Miss Hurst performed her vari- J ons acts, but we' have yet to hear of j one who was not nonplussed in his ; efforts. Time after time this young j j girl, with the utmost nonchalance, ! I resisted the combined strength of the : most powerful men. New York World: Miss Lulu Hurst is simply doing for the senses what her sex has been doing for the soul these thousand years. She puts the tips of her lingers on the brawny ana | trained savage, and away goes gravi-1 tation, cohesion and logic. Things j begin to fly up, instead of obediently j falling down. Twice two all at once j makes six and three-quarters, parallel j lines converge, mathematics look like j minstrel jokes and physical laws are i just about as mixed and reliable as statute laws. vSan Francisco Ingleside': A.s a matter of fact, Miss Hurst's powers have a right to the term?wonderful. The world is full of wonders, which, bein<r accepted, named and classified, no longer excite public cariosity. Miss Hurst astonishes us more than the developmeut of a plant, the earthquake, the birth of a butterfly, or the transmission of a telegraphic message, not uecause suu as ujuiu uivsicmuu?, but because she is an isolated case. <t| The Columbia Dramatic League. The Columbia Dramatic League will appear at Boag's Opera House this evening, in the popular play entitled "Comrades," which is a specialty of the company. This piece vras presented in Columbia on Friday night, and all the papers speak in very high terms of the entire performance. The Register makes special and very complimentary mention of the acting of I Miss Lily Peai-ce as "May Manning,"-1 Miss May Sawyer as "Bess Bradley," Miss Eleanor Percival as "Xaiicv Nipper," Mr. Harry Church as "Royal Manning," Mr. E. R. Stitt as "Matt Winsor," Mr. AV. S. Reamer as "Marcus Graves," the Drummer, and Mr. Cleve. Sloan as ."Simon Stone." The audience were "so well pleased, that the "Comrades" was repeated, by request, ?n Pnliimhin. last nic/hl - The Columbia Yeoman speaks thus of the performance ou Friday: One cannot refrain from giving a tribute of well-deserved praise to all the members of this company without one single exception. Their delivery was pointed and forcible. Their clo- i cution was resonant and clear "as a I bell"; not one word being lost by the i audience from beginning to end of (he play. The prices of admittance will be as follows: Reserved seats, 35 cents each; ordinary ncKets, zopents eacn. tickcis may be procured at the store of Messrs. Molester, Brice & Ketchin, i or of Mr. J. 0. Boag. NOTES FROZE HAL SELL VIILE. Messrs. Editors: Your .correspondent expected to have written a few items for your columns before this, but engagements^ of one kind and another have prevented. Along with others from our county I attended the Southern Baptist Convention in Augusta. Ga. An ijrimpnso number of delegates were present from every State in the South, and I incidentally learned much about different sections of our country. I am induced to do this on account of the fact that so many are dissatisfied with this their native laud. I endeavor to analyze and classify the views of intel j u^cut Alien Ui ULUUieai sections SO uiat I ' da'ai. ii^refaBnT%iRTr^gsaKifi^^~i'i?rfHygsaa I may arrive at a ^oroewhat satisfac- i .tory conclusion, but of all that I interrogated only one .thought it best to make great sacrifices to get there. I afterwards learned that he is a railroad man, and even a preacher .is not beyond the power of, at least, unconscious selfishness. Under certain circumstances it may l?e better for some men to move, but a rule they had fiir better remain o:i their own lwinesteads here. It is a great mistake to imagine that hard limes arc confined to our o.vn country. In ihe "West tliey have sickness, sorrow, disappointment, hard work, a panting for the old homes and poverty just as intense as we have here. The doctors can't get their prfy, tlife preachers can't get their | salaries and the merchants take in I plantations as; a settlement for bread . ?nd meat-just like then- do here.. There was nothing in ther dress of .the gentlemen I saw, or the account they gave of the church work done impressed me that cither they themselves or their constituents were very Hush of money. Some may say that the West is not so religious. So much the worse for the West. There is:s:iid to I>c more money in circulation there. It so, I don't believe that it is produced as a profit in the country. # Millions of money made elsewhere is carried there to invest in one way or another, but mostly in the. future of the country. There many a silly fellow sacrifices the property and comforts his father before him had been a lifetime in accumulating and goes West only to be fiayed by sharpers, and this is considered a clear gain to the country. I can't recall a single instance. where persons in the West have sent money hereto move or help friends in their poverty,. but JLjiave known or several-instances in which pitiful appeals from that rich section have come here for help, and some cases in which they have been brought back with money dug" np on these old hills. It seems so foolish for a man to break up and aiove oft' at a .ruinous expense, under the idea that it will add anything eitijer to .his energy or brains. .. Mr. W. L. Smith} who has been living lor several years in Florida, is visiting friends in our section. It -is probable he may spend the summer in our State. Mr. Smith speaks in the Irorlipsf-. trrms nf "FJnnrln. ns n. nlensfinf e place to live?not on account of the money-producing power, but the pleasant climated I believe there are sections of Florida, with health, will become very thicklv populated. There is some complaint among the farmers about bad stands of cotton. "Without rain soon the small grain also will .be cut oft'. Capt. D. P.-Crosby has two large fields of about the best oats I have seen at Herbert's. Major U. W. Faucetfe had most of his cotton cut out on the ISth and the dirt thrown back. The Major is one of the most successful cotton farmers in the county. The farmers arc generally disposed to work, and if they could only have a fair crop of small grain this might yet be a year of solid progress. There is much talk here with some about the new railroad. It seems that after they survey a route by Chester, and then by Lowrysville above Chester, they will turn their attention to the route through this section to Winnsboro. It seems to me that this is Winnsboro's chance. Could the company be induced to build to Winnsboro, the road would run all the way through a fine farming country. There are good reasons for believing that "VVinnsboro would then become a dangerous rival of her sister town, Chester. Should your town fail to get this road, your business, will still further be reduced. Already a large number ot' our citizens go to Chester and elsewhere to trade. They allege, not only because it is nearer, but because they can do be tier. Again, this country, in mv opinion, is determined to have a I railroad sooner or later. The matter will ue agitated until the Legislature wfli grant a charter, and strong induce.mcnts offered to run a road from Chester in the direction of Newberry. This would be disastrous to the trade of Winnsboro throughout this entire section of the county. I believe that a public and enthusiastic demonstration ( could be gotten up in our township in favor of a railroad. We have a .healthy and productive county, but we are cut off from market facilities. Wc lose time and wear out our wagons and teams in getting our crops to market. Little towns will spring up; a new population will come in, establishing educational, social, business and religious advantages, which we never can nave without it. w ltn these advantages I look upon this all told as one of the most desirable sections for a home I have ever seen. I sec no good reason why as intelligent, thrifty a population as wq have should live out their days cut off from the world without any of the advantages of progressive civilization. The stimulating power of a railroad, occompanied by the sound of the workman's hammer, would soon produce the contribution necessary to bring to our doors such an important appendage of human comfort aud development. We believe that it would add from one to two dollars to the value of each acre of land in Township No. 1. Many of us arc reaay to jom nanus Jiearuiy witn somebody. j. d. m. DENTAL NOTICE. JAS. B.
