Alas! he has gone from us to return no more, lie was a, periect master of his profession, and socially and intellectually had few equals. lie was in bed three month?, and towards the last, lay like a lion, his strength all gone The once manly form was a grand ruin from the ravages of disease, yet his mental tacumes were nnimpared until almost the very last.

It has come, it is pass, it is done, that is to say, tlie banquet of the Bachelor's Protective Union. As the silent hours of night drew on the long roll of the bachelors was heard sraoting upon the ears af aspirants who sought the highe-t honors of life and the greatest dignity that can be clamped upon 11?? brow ot' man. It is the custom of the baehejors to inter upon ihelr toilsome task, yet pleasing and beautiful ceremony, of conferring U.eir sublime degrees upon initiates at an earlier hour, but owing to a mass meeting of citizens which was called for the purpose of discussi?tf mnltpra r.t'orpaf irnrinrtmice to the "" ~ ' i community, they did not adjourn from labor io refreshment:* until the hour (if nine. Scarcely had the chime of the large bell of the town ciock diod on "the startled air," when the ancient mariner, the venerable a^ed president, that had piloted the bark of bachelorhood through many a rough and ! stormy >ca beat a gentle tattoo upon I the quarter fleck, ami announced the eleventh annual congivs* of the Union was opened. The prcMdent arose in a few. but touching wordj, to hid feelings, tears rolled down his wrinkled ! cheeks, tear?, perhaps, of sorrow for! tliOi?e who were about to be made better men, or more likely ilu*y were tears of gladness in anticipation ef the convivialities soon president's heart, though he is dying viewing his own loveliness. grows warm at tnesignt 01 a iuikcv or the leg of a dnck, and fills to overflow when lie hears the pop of a cork. But from whatever cause these tears may have flowed, he brushed them away with his rough ?leeve when the first candidate was announced; and as all that transpires in the executive sessions of the Union is done -under the rose, we must draw the veil of secrecy over ihe deliberations of the assemblage and leave the candidate! to their fate, or to go on I heir way rejoicing. While the representative of the i ^ ? n iL press was present anu wnnesseu iue metamorphosis of an ordinary man into the anomolous creature?a bachelor? the great confidence, as is generally reposed in newspapers, and of all The News and Herald, forbids a revelation of everything that occurred, even though such revelation would be for the edification of the public. We will say, however, that we have never seen a more solemn scene, indeed so solemn that ali of the noviates were deeply impressed with the solemnity of the .situation. After the shaking of hands and welcoming the young bachelors, their title* were read out as follows: J. II. Tillman, El Mahdi; M. Robin smvUi^id Chaplain; It. Y. Turner, Cetawayo; Wm^icCarJey, Ring Tail Roarer; Uugh Wylie, "Pwtg^ual Censor; John Simpson, Nabob of'A^rSSf; 0. R. Thompson, Grand Jabberwack. Tbe announcement of these gentle great hilarity. * The Union now proceeded by ballot to dotermine who should wear the "big badge", the token of consistency, and it affords us pleasure to state that the lot fell on Mr. J.

A number of impromptu speeches were made, among them Mr. 31. J. McCarley.

Dr. Allen's family consists of himself and wife, and thcv are renting and occupying the house owned by Mrs. Hicklin. Mr. William A.

Prof. Robert Morrison and family, of Chester, came down this morning on a short visit to his parents. One day in the early part of this week just as Mrs. A. A. Mclveownand her little daughter had stepped into their buggy which was standing in rear of Macdonald & Co's store, the mule became frightened and dashed off before her son could get in to take the 1 reins.

Dr. Douglas found no bones broken,and there were no more serious injuries received than some bruises and the severe shock from the fall. Mr. William Bricc, widely aud favorably known in Chester and Fairfield Counties, died at his home near Bethlehem Church at twelve o'clock last Thursday nigni, ana was uuneu at New Hope Church on Friday afternoon after religious services at the house by Rev. W. G. Neville. Mr. Brice had been partially paralyzed for more than a year, but the recent attack rendered him utterly helpless, causing his death after a few months of intense suffering. lie was a very progressive and successful farmer, and the announcement of his death will send a thrill of sadness to the hearts of his many frieuds in tne two counties named above. A LETTER FROM SFJIIXG GROVE. Messrs. Editors: 1 certainly did write a part of a letter to you about i he last of February, but concluded to i rewrite it?well, I didn't do it, and j intentions are worthless when not carried into action. The storm, or cyclone or hurricane which visited "Winnsboro 011 the 22nd of March pasted very near to us. It was destructive. It blew down many houses and unroofed many others. A man by the name of Humphrey bad an arm and leg broken by the falling of his house, and his wife was so badly iniared that she died about a week ago. It was narrow in its track, especially at Vaugbnville and on eastward towards Newberry. Mr. Koon's large two storv store house in Vaughnville was in .lie very heart of its narrow track, and was worse torn to pieces than any house I ever saw. His goods were scattered ail around, and of course were thoroughly wet, as a very bard rain immediately succeeded the downfall. His engine and thresher were under a tallen house, and his buggy and carriage were under anotner. ah nuciugcin hu^uuui said one thousand dollars would scarcely repair his loss even if he had all the-lnmber at the place. His mill near by was nniujnred. Fortunately he can saw hi* own lumber for repairing, or rebuilding. The new and beautiful Methodist Church near by, which bad been recently painted was so injured that I have no idea it can be repaired without taking ic down; the plastering was broken in a thousand pieces, and one corner driven in the ground, the sides curved off, and the floor considerably elevated in the mid j die. A large number or green trees I were torn np by the roots all around it. | I returned home another w&v from | this scene of desolation, and crossed ! the track a little furthereast. X counted within a hundred yards of me, blown down and broken off, about twenty-five trees. I have seen large green pines and hickories broken off. Most of the trees fell with their tops towards the east, though I have noticed in some places the tops weio towards the north. Have heard others speak YTTO TT Ui lUlVtY a \y T VX J ??

Oats have recovered from the cold / t spell, and are now growing, looking fresh and green. Peach trees bloomed scantily about the last of February, but in the latter part of March they bloomed again. I have a number of trees now, (April 2) in full bloom. I am sorry to ?ee in your paper so much opposition to the "Farmers Movement. Have nearly a hundred thousand farmers in South Carolina no, right to think for themselver? Must j others think for them? Can the Slate j nrnsnpr rmlpQs her S5.0A0 farmers do?

But the farmers are going to wade through. Our farmers are as a class, the best Democrats in the State.

Bell, fully explains itself: " i ? r_ icoo T ?nne surveying lanu 111 ioou jl agudently handled poison oak vine, and in less than three hours (the eruption usually resulting from such coDtact begins in ten days) my face was swollen and disfigured, and inv hands and arms seriously affected. I immediately began taking Swift's Specific (S.S.S.), and after taking three large bottles I found all ti^ns of the breaking out entirely removed. I was ied to suspect its return at the same time uext - ?? ' ? rvAf- lioa fVlOVii UUt lb V4XV4 HV i, J1V1 iitto "been aw^m^ations of its return since. My little boyTs^ht years old, was aiUicted with ihe samt^i^jsnn in 1884. After taking several bottlc^Sh^v^fVa Specific (S. S. S.) the eruptisns^f^1 tirely disappeared. A very slight form of the same eruption returned during the next epriug, but we theu resumed the S. S.

V~l ATTENTION is called to those interested in Hydraulics to an advertisement that appeared in the Fairfield New* and Herald some time as:o as to the assassination of the old scoundrel Wells, who was Earned to death by Springs. Now, anyone wishing to see the remains of old Wells can very easily do so by visiting BlytbewrtrtfTa ami aniriv/ to thfi residftllfiC of Mr. John M. Hawley, who Jives close by. Mr. Hawley has had b great deal of trouble with old Wells and concluded to get vid of him and take Springs in his stead; and as to the celebrated Hanson Hydraulic Ram, he has found that even working at half speed he could pump nearlv a thousand gallons per day at a horizontal pull ?f 655 feet and a vertical lift of 10G feet, which is three or four hundred per cent more than was claimed for it by vhe makers. But *u\ ?iawley concluded that it was dangerous to be safe along, side of old Wells on account of his little children, so he went and filled him up with some green pine straw, believing no doubt but that it would be cheaper to fill up his old dirty maw that way than any other, and 'thereby get rid of him a't once and for ever, and only regrets that he had not got ri.l of him long iio-n As to the Ram, it is sold strictly on its own merits, as it is right here to how for itself; and as* to spring water the great Master Mechanic put that there, and I suppose that he wa3 the best judge of the* human stomach.
