I ! This change was made on account of; the Agricultural meeting at I?enncts- i ville,.and the absence of a good many j citizens attendin g the reunion of the j 6th and 12th Regiments on the battle- j field-? of Virginia. ?Owing to the death of Prof. Dart, i of Columbia, whose services had been j engaged in connection with colored j teachers' institute of this county, j There will probably be no institute for colored tcaehcrs this summer.

He adds, however, that he j has 110 intention of doing1 the like this | year. I Due West Female College.?We j call special attention to the advertise-! mcnt of this excellent institution in our columns to-day.

The . Columbia "Recoild"'. ? The Dailv llecord is the name of a new ! evening paper just started in Columbia, j The numbers that have reached us in- ] dicate that it will be a newsy, sprightly I and vigorous paper, worthy of the confidence and support of tha people of Columbia.

Some people are laughing at innocence abroad, but it strikes us that it may be all right after all. We remember to have heard a gentleman of that profession say, that it was sometimes necessary to sell a darkey a five dollar suit for ten dollars and. wait on Mm- for five. = . . ; Sharp Agents.?The county is at j present full of agents, and they are said 10 be doing- a lively business. We are informed;that it is a favorite expedient among; them," in order \ to sell their wares,>o make at the time of sale as many verbal statements as may be needful, varying indefinitely the terms' of-writterr agreements, that are entered into at the'same. "We take this occasion therefore to remind the unwary that they must stand 01* fall by the ' writing. In case of action, no evidence would be received to vary or contradict it. A Timely Donation.?By the mere dint of perseverance the "Court House King" had succeeded in wearing oul all of ..their benches. No straDger can adequately appreciate the inconvenience that resulted. The transaction of business had come almost to a stand gtill. This was the condition of af-j fairs a few nights ago, when some] unknown party brought a couple of new benches and put them down in * '-i. tt mi. ? ironcoitne uonrt xiouse. j.hc uuuu* tion was evidently intended by the' anonymous gentleman as a testimonial: of the high regard which he entertains*1 for the aforesaid "Ring." ^ "J A Fatal Accident.?We clip the follywing from the Is etc sand Courier: Mr. W.

Surplus Energy ?Ilenry Wicker, j Toby Brown and Jim Hill, all colored \ men of the western section .of the! county, got into a triangular tignt one dav last week and the whole trio are / said to have been worsted. It seems that hostilities had commenced each come to think that he was under special obligation to wh o the other j two, and thus the fight became hope- i lessly mixed.

Tliey are now j inmates of that institution. Go Bv All Means..?It is to be hoped that the Gordon Light Infantry, of this place will acccpt the invitation j of the Survivors to accompany them ! on ihe excursion to Richmond. They | would doubtless enjoy the trip and it j is certain that the Survivors and their ' friends would greatly appreciate their company. Besides, it is understood j that the other military companies that | were invited have declined to <jo. and j this furnishes an additional reason why ! the Grordons should <jo.

The best ! abused man in ai*y community is the , newspaper man. He is the common j target for the shafts of public ridicule. | He is expected to please, and the con-j sequence is he never pleases aynbody, j and onr experience is that he proves! himself a fac simile of that character; which Solomon seemed to nave sncn a spite at, if he tries. No matter what this gentleman of the press does, somebody finds fault. If Mrs. A has a fine baby boy. which the editor mentions in connection with the Presidency and forgets to say that Mrs. B. has one of equally promising prospects the last mentioned lady's nose is completely dislocated on account of this unpardonable editorial negligence. He has critics and critics and critics, and the only thing that the much abused editor can do is to walk up and down the 'street, write up what don't happen, and leave his enemies a wide berth and a monopoly of naughty expletives. Twelftb S. C. V. Reunion. Whereas we have agreed to go to Kichmond with the 6th S. C.

Scitool Trustees and the Jury Law.?"VYe have received from several [ sources rp^oine^ . to. .wlietner tne i nnblicschool trustees are exempt from cattle and other live stock. Now we j do not intend to attempt to reach fiirmere and stock raisers how to succecd in their several callings, but we believe that it is the duty of a newspaper to furnish information of every kind to its readers that will assist them iu.their efforts and thus promote the general welfare of ^our county and State. We believe that our readers ; will all agree that a thoroughbred j animal is more valuable than a scrub, I therefore they should endeavor to improve their stock whenever an opportunity presents itself. As an. item of news to those interested in this subject we say that a fine opportunity now I presents itself as the thoroughbred i horse "Hermit" is now in town. This ! horse is descended from a long line of famons racers, and he has made for himself a fine record as a racer on "1 Northern and Southern race tracks, lie is dark bay with beautiful shaped body, clean and well-mnscled limbs, good evidence of speed and endurance.

Bomb, an annual issued by the corps of cadets of the Virginia Military In- j " ' * ' ^ - mi. T.,r.*T I stitute at jLexington, va. mis msu-1 tute has long been one of the most important factors in Southern education. From the fact that from the j J ranks of its eleve officers for nearly one-tenth of the Confederate armies were drawn gives it a just right to be styled the "West Point of the South". When the war ended this institution was one of the first to offer opportunities to Southern boys for the attainment of abroad, liberal and practical education. How the Southern people have appreciated these advantages can be decided by referring to the catalogues in which appear the names of cadets from nearly every Southern Slate. This Bomb is published annually by the corps for the friends of the corps of cadets, and necessarily contains much that is uninteresting .to the casual reader, but to those who have* not forgotten when they were boys it contains much that is interesting. It is handsomely illustrated with a uuin- ; ber of finely executed engravings and ; with pictures of the lithe and active i nndflt ihall hnisR hflll ! IU1 liio VA Hi V iVVL wmkj - ? -? and athlectic teams. The young cadcts whose enterprise prompted them lo i his venture should receive the hearty ,-upport of the Faculty and Board of j Visitors of their alma mater. We congratulate them upon their success* and ; we hope thai it may be a thousand j \ oars before the Bomb reaches l lie j vertex of its parabola and starts on iis I downward curve. Executive Clemency. A telegram on Tuesday from Gov-1 Oi-nnr Thnmnson. announced that he i had commuted the sentence of Allen j' Boyd from death to imprisonment for i life in the penitentiary, and that lie! had granted an absolute and nncon- < ditional pardon to hi&' wife, Todie Boyd. It will he remembered that at tiie last term of the Court of General Session?, they were charged with i cruelly beating their child Fannie, from i he effects of which she died a few weeks after. The jury found them guilty of murder, and recommended them to the mercy of the Court, bcliev- ; ing, as we are informed, that such : recommendation would enable the pre- ( siding Judge to pass the sentenee of < imprisanment for life; but he had no : discretion in the matter. Counsel for ' defendants, Messrs. Douglass & Mc- , Donald, applied for exacutive clem- 1 ency to the Governor for the commutation of the sentence of Allen Boyd to , imprisonment for life in the peniten- ; tiarv, and an absolute pardon for his < wife, Todie Boyd. In support of the above application, a petition signed by al! the members of the bar, county J officials, and other pr<?minet citizens of the county was submitted and accompanying' said petition a statement of facts and reasons underlying' Ttre~-J application was also submitted; a state- 1 ment by the Circuit Judge and Solicitor in which the recommendation was made that the sentence of Allen Boyd be commuted to imprisonment in the ] penitentiary for life, and that Todie J Boyd be imprisoned for a term not . exceeding five years: Judge Wither- i spoon subsequently submitted, through nnnncol a ctotomenf for lilt; UCJ-OliUCill CO WUUOV1 tv 0bW(,vM>vu W *v. the Governor in which he acknowledged that at the trial he entertained very ; grave doubts of the guilt of Todie Boyd, but in this letter he refrained from making any recommendation whatever. In addition to the above, counsel forwarded to the Governor a number of affidavits, all of which tended to sfiow that Todie Boyd neither had any connection with or sympathy for the cruel treatment of which Allen Boyd was alleged to have been guilty of. Some of the affiants deposed that on several occasions Todie Boyd had left her husband, Allen Boyd, on account "of hts treatment of the girl. One of the affidavits states the fact that one occasion Todie Boyd actually pre vented her husband from beating the deceased with a chair. Other of the affidavits supported in strong terms the good character of the defendant, Todie Boyd- These facts were not known at the time of the trial, and consequently were not brought to light. Upon this showing, as has heretofore been stated, the Governor has issued his officialsrder in which he granted to Todie Boyd, an immediate pardon, and a commutation of the seni tence of Allen Boyd to imprisonment in the penitentiary for life. They received the news of executive j interference with evident emotions of joy. The day sctapartfor their execution Friday 24th inst., was drawing near, and notwithstanding the assnrances^of their counsel and from other of their friends they were, nevertheless, growing more nervous and more skeptical with each succeeding day. We have no hesitation in saying that the action of the Governor will meet with the hearty approval of the best citizens of the county.

Shell was still at the spring and his hat was still in the water. He cursed young Eowler, who struck him a very severe blow on the head. Dr. J. M. Gienn dressed tho wound.
