Dr. Bo??*, Of the Theological Seminary in Columbia, preached in the Presbyterian church in this place on last Sabbath, taking as hia text the 24th verse or the 13th chapter of St. Luke. His analysis aud exposition nf bis t6xt was able and exhaustive. He then entered upon an elaborate discus1 kion of the doctrine of predestination I * and of free will; showing that all social rules and regulations governing and controlling men in their intercourse with each other, as well as tho statute laws of I all civilized and barbaric countries were based on the presumption of the freedom of the will, and that it woHld be impossible lor a person to act upon any other hy- j pothesis and not transgress these written | *?- * ... ? j ?..*i n -nnu unwritten laws ana regulations. no; then disrussed tho question of God'.s fore-1 knowledge an i foreordination, and said k that although we could not understand! the doctrine it was nevertheless true, and ] was not inconsistent with the freedom of; tho will. That the operations of Jod's; [ power on the converted sinner wa? a, f problem we could not solve; that it was | wild is too deep and profound for the human intellect to grasp; that it was doubt- j fill whether the anxels in heaven underfttood it, and as all the philosophers from j the ancient Greeks to the present time did : not know what the freedom of the will j is, so they could not hope or expect toi Unravel the profounu mysteries of the doctrine of predestination. That God did not exclude human agency, hut on the! contrary included it in tho grond plan for j i Xhe redemption of souls. That no one I ? could be saved unless they were willing. ] rTUis is but a meagre synopsis 01 imsi able and eloquent discourse which com-' (Handed the undivided attention of thej entire congregation. . * At night Or. Boggs again preached In | a forcible and pleasing manner to a large 1 audience, using as the text the 14th and 15th verses of tho 3d chapter of St. Johr.:; "And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the1 wilderness, eveit so must the Son of ihstu 1 be lilted up: That Whosoever believeth in j tiiin should not perish, but havo eternal I life."

He was cd-j Seated in Charleston ; graduated at the Ittiarleston Medical College, and has Hactlced medicine for forty years. In 1 ^Bp he came to Abbeville to practice his ' ^ fession and to engage in the drug ^Mness. For more than twenty years ^Hnnducted the drug business in con- ' HEHion with his practice. EHt.

As j a physician he will bo greatly missed by tho?e whom bo has served so faithfully, i JJAs a man he was posessed of as many j traits of character as we ever find : MnMAtnvono man.

About three-fourths of our paper was set up on Tuesday and Tuesday night, and some interesting mat' ter was necessarily omitted because we could not set up more thap we did* Rev. J. L. Mabtis is off to the meeting of Presbytery^ At the congregation al meeting of the Presbyterian church in this village, last 'Thursday night, upon a vote being taken it .was determined not to accept his resignation.

Dr. Gary being near i * teas promptly called and rendered the v necessary medical aid. We had the pleasure of a call yesterday from two rail road men : Mr. Alex. 8.

Their establishment is one of tho largest and most reliable in the South. Their prices are moderate, and their material and workmanship equal to tho best. ! An ordinance of the town council may I be found in another column. We think [they assume tho proper ground in not exI eluding one of their own number from a chance at the Treasurer's office. All the public want is u faithful discharge of the duties of tho office. Col. II. G. Gillespie after spending several weeks with his brother, Mr. A. L>. Gillespie, and a short time with friends! at Seneca, lias returned to his home in Mississippi. He is a jenial gfintleman and a lover of Abbeville and his old home. If the County Commissioners would! hold frequent meetings between now and the twentieth, it would bo a convenience j to those tux-pavers wno may nave claims on which thby could draw motley to pay ! their taxes, if they were approved.

We seht them, howover( to the four o'clock trnin, but it seeins that they failed to reach these places Wednesday evening. Mr. Robert Smith, one of the most zealous Democrats in this County was in Abbeville yesterday. Mr*. Smith is a true citizen in every relation of life, and we are always glad to see him in Abbeville; May he always prosper. Change never was as scarce in Abbe vine as it is at present, capt. x-ernn,; while in thy country, took in considerable change, but was relieved of it in hulf a day after ho oamo back and opened his office. Mr. John A. Moore, a prominent merchant of Ninety-Six, lost Ids dwelling and other houses last Wednesday morning by lire. Very little of his furniture was saved. Insurance only $1,000. The Laurensville Herald has more county correspondents than any of his country cousins. If these dots ivoro 8et in small typo, they would bo just splendid. Small type is the thing for items. Mr. KeatOn's horse had a leg broken last Sunday. It is not ktio^-n whether it was from carelessness on the part of the animal, or from the precision with which some young gentleman threw a rock. Mr. Samuel Smith, formerly of this county, but now of Florida, is on a visit: to his relative Mr. II. M. Martin ofj Hodges. Mr. Smith brings Mrs. Smith with him. She is a Floridian. The "Hon." John Brown was badly gored by a mad cow last week. We learn that he is out of danger.?Marion Star. We presume he put a fence between himself and the "mad cow." We had the pleasure of a call yester-j day morning from I)r. J. W. Calhoun, of; Ninety-Six, whose patriotism is onlyi equaled by his usefulness as a citizen! and ueighbdh Mr. N. Anderson, senior, one of the! best and most prosperous citizens of Greenwood was among the throng yesterday who came to welcome the State canvassers. Why not give the Press and Banner your job printing ? It is done as cheap as the chenpest Northern house, and we ' generally trade to the full extent of tho j bill. Mr. R. C.

Miss Nannie Matterton, of Hon-1 ea Path; has been elected teacher in the j Magazine Hill .School. This County has benn suffering for: rain lbr several weeks, and the heat hits j been excessive. The News and Courier's new press has i been a subject of frequent coin men t in! this vicinity. Messrs. Hill & Co., are still selling net* wagons and buggies at extremely low figures. The lawyers are busy making their cases ready for Court, which convene* on the -Oth. We learn that tho prblication of tHe flonea Path Herald has been discontinued. Remember the newspaper when selling cotton. As a rule they are a needy set. Mr. VVm. McMurtry was among the guests on the speaker's stand yesterday. We can make it to your interest to give ;he Press and Banner your job printing. Miss Sa.li.ik Marshall returned from Greenville last Saturday. When you pay taxes, bo sure to call * round at the printing ollices.

A Most Interesting Letter From a Talented and Accomplished Young Lady who has Recently Returned from a Trip to Eastern Ohio. Recently we were on a pleasure trip lil feast; cm Ohio. We will give your renders smne of our Impressions while there: This section was suffering from h severe tiroogni, so mm we saw the country at h great disadvantage. There was not u green field to be Keen. The gra-s was dead, rout and all It was feared, and Judicious farmers were selling off cattlc to prevent the necessity of feeding them. But the people did not appear discouraged as we SbUtherners are In a dry season. For they had reaped a bountiful whe?t and oats harvest, and the corn was nearly made. PLOUOHINO IS DUST AND MORTAR. We saw many things that were new and surprising. No matter how dry the season, farmers plow right along wllh the dust rising In clouds behind them. During this terrible drought, the harvast fields were broken up and sown again In wheat and oats in the months of August and September. In some places we noticed that the fields had been plowed while quite wet. and the great sods were hard and sun b;iked. We learned that It did not Injure the soil to plow while "too wet," but that some times they plowed when wuter was standing tn the furrows. Then when the next, rain couies this limestone soli Is so soft and porous that the clods melt down nicely. It Is certainly a convenience that they < an plow when it suits them, without belngobliKed to "wait until ItralnHi" No alow is used except I he lame two-horse ong. Instead of plowing from one end of the field and then back again, as wo do, they begin at one corner of the field and plow eutlrely around, finishing up In the ccntcr. TREMENDOUS HILT.S. We were visiting principally In the eastern portion of Ohio, near wheeling. We were surprised to see such tremendous hill*, but more amazed to sec that, there were no washes. About two-thirds of the State lies level, but tliiH eastern part Is very broken. Farmers claim thcr? Is quite an advantage in owning hilly land, that we had never thought of, namely?ttiat whilst lite farmer on level soil can cultivate only oiieridcdf the grouud, they can till at least tioo ride*. The [rlsh potato grows well. The yield is 300 bushels to the acre, and somellrties as iriuch as 400 bushels pel-acre. 'lbey are shipped directly to Chicago; FINE APPLES. We were better pleased with the ffppleR than with any other crop. The apple orchards are a striking feature. Travel which way yon may, they are large and numerous. This splendid fruit Is enjoyed Ihcyear round, the early varieties ripening In June, and the winter apples may he kept through May. A gentleman told us that last year he sold from one ??r i?i? m-ohiirds loo hurrels at St tier barrel. If there Is any one thing of which wo feel flpecllaUy Inclined to envy the people of this region, It. Is for thin fine fruit It Is considered no very healthful. A fruit grower said to ur : "It Ik a noticeable fact that those persons who have plentv of frolt and enjoy It, need little medical attention. lutein the spring, I often sell even a third grade apple Just for the children to eat to prevent having to buy medicine." We never saw fruits used so ex- i tenslvely on the table. It wa? not an unusual thing to ?ee half a dozen dishes ol cooked fruit on the tablo at once, and they have fewer meat dishes than Southerners, though the meat is of a superior quality. Apple sauce Is a favorite dish. It Is ou the table three times a day, and to are tomalors very j often. Jtlsa rule to have only cold bread?) hop yeast bread?which Is superior to the best baker's brt?ad. The pear is also a popular and j luscious fruit. OKAPK CULTURE. A peculiarity In the fririt line Is tho culture or the grape. Every fumlly has a great abundance of snipes. They (trow in garden and yurd, and therti.ls almost always a vine trained over rtie hack porch, laden with luscloiis fruit. The snide varieties grow td i^feater Kcrfectton than with us?thlnnersklrtriea and etter flavored; Even In the towns It was not nnustial to see'? benutitul vine ornamentlne the frfint ettthtrtco. Lafge vineyards ore not j so common now as a few years a?:o, when a good deal of wine was made. Grapes, blackberries. raspberries, cherries, currants, Ac.,- are canned by every family, and they enjoy all this splendid fruit ufrtll It comes the next year. THE PKOPLK AND THETK HABITS. The people ol Ohio Inujresscd us as being wonderfully energetic. They not only know . how to make money and how to take care of It, but they know equally as well how to en-! Joy It. They have flue productive land, the! price varying from 850 to per acre; and j yet they fertilize and take care of it; They are neither careless nor wasteful. aS. their j homes and premises demonstrate. If any thinn geu out of order, it Is Immediately repaired. Jn the orchard, the treesare carefully trimmed, and the ground Is kept as clear of iimivc on/j u-oo/Ib ito q lnwn. fir* thnt thf?! grass may grow. There in absolutely no rub-i blan on the premises no broken eaten and tumble down fences. Every one lives in ft l good house, and many homes are rea'ly ele-\ ganU Every thlfig speaks of plenty and com- i tort. Servants arC the rare exception, not the I rule. Consequently the mother and daugh- j ters do all the housework, and it. shows to i iiave been well done. Everything is arranged 1 so conveniently that It does not take always j to do"thc work." but with systematized ef-1 fort, thoy'still tind time for mental, mrfrttl and ! social culture,- and a margin is left In which | to cmbelish their homes. We would ft ay that I the ladies are not vain and extravagant in ' dress, but neat and nice. As there is so little i Hi'ed labor, the gentlemen have to work, too. I W~ illd not sec any loafers sitting around ' 'whlttllhg sticks." BelinontOonnty is thick- j ly settled. When on top ofoneot these tre-: ineudous hills you can see miles and miles j away, and the many handsome residences i dotted thickly here and there make a pretty picture. We have tJA'l good opportunities of! observing these people and \ve consider that' LiH\v pir&fwn liu uiimuHi nuiUMiiv ?>i gence, Industry and ability, combined with affability. hospitality anil ease of manner. MiFlNO. Coal miulng Is onito an Industry in tills i part of the State, wo saw several mines In! operation, though not on a larue seal*. A few I miles from St. Clalrsville, the County seat, a j mine is being worked. All the workmen of j tliis mine live In New Pittsburg,a litlle town of one hundred houses, which has sprung up ; in the last few months. These were the tirst1 miners we had seen. They passed by us Into, in the afternoon with lanterns ami picks. As! we looked on their black faces and shriveled j forms, sure we are, we did uot envy them their hard lot.

A great va-1 rletyol ulass ware Is made, and our hostess: Informed us that we had featen from several' dishes made here. She presented us with a fancy lamp which hail been inside while we | were In the glass house. The workmen come on duty every six hours, working 12 honrR out of 24. We were toid that they receive gbod wages and might live well hut that King AtCoho'l receives a large share of their earnings PIC-NIC. We had the pleasure of attend'ng plc-nlcs. fairs, <tc, and thus had the opportunity of conversing with many people. We were present at a Sabbath School pic-nic of the United Presbyterian Church of St. Clairsville. We much enjoyed feeing now other people did such tilings. Not only were the little[ children pleased, but every one seemed wide i ihviiUp unit hutinv to see everv one else enjoy-1 lug themselves."" A COUNTY FAIR. We also attended the Belmont County Fair. We were escoried over the grounds by the genial Mr. Thompson, who took special pains to make his "Southern friends" enjoy themselves. The ladies made a line exhibition of most beautiful and artistic work. But we were specially interested in the machinery and stock. We saw a wagon propelled by steam, intended for moving heavy machinery from place to place. These Ohio people use a great deal of improved machinery and farm Iniuleiiienis. We were much Interested In a mill which ground all klnd.4of grain and peas and cottou seed for stock. It was operated by one lior-e and cost only S0O. Wo thought every large farmer ought to liaveone.and that two or three farmers on a smaller scale should own one Jointly. In a few hours, on a rainy day< a farmer could grind his own trfeal and prepare stock feed which would be far superior and more economical than when fed ungrotitid. The convenience and economy would pay for the mill in a year or two. FINE STOCK. We have alwnys ad in I red fine stock, but did not know we could be quite so enthusiastic. The stock exhibit was lull and tine. The Spanish Merino is the fine wool growing sheep. They command a price All the way up to 81,8:.Kper head. These are fancy prices, as they are raised here principally for sale. Such cows we have never seen! The short' horn, the fine beet cattle Is of mammoth size.
