Young TIMMEIUIAN, although only in College some eighteen month*, yet received the second honor in the Graduating Class. Read the following: Mr. J. A.- -Timmerman discussed a theme that was calculated to excito'tho emotional nature, and also to arouse tho more intense feelings cf our bosoms. The " Impeachment ol' Warren Hastings" furnished a subject that developed in young T. a power that a less exciting theme would fail to discover. I appre hend-that he experienced emotions simi lar to those that agited the bosom of the eloquent Burke when he uttered tho memorable words, " I impeach him in the name of the people of India. I im peach him an the common enemy and oppressor of all." The manner in 'which the grave subject wa* presented indicated that the points wore fully appreciated. jBtr~ Messrs.

Of deep interest to many Edgefield peopl? will.be a forth' coming book, en l-titled "Reminiscences of Dr. WM. B. JOHNSON." This book is to be issued by the Rev. Mr. GAINES, editor of the Working Christian, and will be compiled from certain manuscripts written by Dr. JOHNSON a few years before his death. These manuscripts are said tc containa good autobiography of this pious, gifted and useful man. Mr. GAINES thinks this book will contain about 150 pages, and that it can be sold for"$l. When the names of three hundred persons axe pledged for as many copies, the work will be put'in print without delay. In this community where Dr. JOHN SON lived and labored during the best year^ of his life, we think there will be no difficulty in securing a large list .of subscribers to the proposed work. We hope that many, of his old scholars, many of his old friends, many admirers of his pure and stern Christian character, will, without delay, send their names to Mr. GAINES. Address "Rev. GAINES,, of the Working Christian, Charleston S. C." Speaking for ourself, personally, we knew Dr. JOHNSON in the most intimate manner from our cradle to Ai? grave, and we loved and honored him in the profoundest manner. He died in Green ville in October, 1862V during the war, in his Slst year-a devoted patriot, who watched and worked for bis native South until his latest breath, and died praying for her freedom.. For u4, it. will be not only a pleasure, but an honor and a privil?ge, to receive and forward'the* .names of subscribers to the " Reminiscences of Dr. WM. B. JOHN SON."

DE., rn OF A REPENTANT ROOUE. Recently, a negro of bad character died in this County, named Sam. Reynolds. He had been strongly suspected of set ting fire to tho gin house of T. B. Fraser, Esq., which was destroyed hy lire moro than a year ago. On his death-bed, Sam, confessed Ids guilt in this matter, und also that he set lire to the Spring Hill Church. He accused a certain white man of being tho " cause of his ruin."-Sum ter News. SUDDEN DEATH.-On Monday lait, the second son of Mr. Sol. C. Harman, a promising child of about ten years, came to a most melancholy and sudden death. Ho had been playing in a pile of cotton seed, and being missed at dinner, upon search he was found smothered in thc cotton seed. Ho had grabbled out a per pendicular hole in the seed about the size of his body, and the poor little fellow was found with his head down in thc hole. He had been absent for about an hour from the house,-Lexington Dispatch. A Lady Uses One. The following, from Hon. Edmund Burke, speaks for itself: NEwrouT, N. H., Juno 5, 1871. DEAR Sm:-In Februaiy last a fire oc curred in my dwelling house. It caught from a stove-pipe, between the ceiling and lloo'r'of the second story, and had made considerable headway when dis covered. It was in a place difficult of access and much -combustible material around it to feed upon. On discovering the fire, my wife, with the aid of one servant girl, applied the extinguisher purchased of you, and very soon sup pressed it. I attribute the preservation of my house entirely to the extinguisher, which no sum of money would induce me to part with, if I could not get another. . . Yours truly, EDMUND BURKE. ??ir- The Columbia Union, of Tuesday says: "Persons who visited the place yesterday, near Littleton on tho line of | thc Greenville and Columbia Railroad, state that beiween 2,200 and 2,300 cords of oak and p?ae wood were burned.

About Effecting Insurance en their ii ves: 1st. Insurance at Stock Rates, being from 20 tor 3f Per Cent, less than the Rates charged by Mutual Companies 2d. Each Policy-holder is regarded as a Stockholder to the extent of one lAnnual . Premium on his Policy, and wji share in the Profits pf the Company- to. the same extent as ?

BEFORE INSURING YOUB LIFE OE ACCEPTING THE AGJHCY OF- ANY COMPANY READ THE FOLLOWING : A lengthened experience baa demonstrated that the rates of Erenr?m ordinarily charged by Life Insttrance Companies ?rc from twenty-five to thirty pff oent, in excess of what arc necessary for a safe' and legitimate conduct of tho hunnesB. In ottier words, carefully ana prudently-managed Companies charging "Mitual" rates have been able to return to their policyholders from 25 to 30 per cent, of tte amount charged for premiums. When Life Insurance Companies were first organized, the reliability of the data upon which thc premiums were constructed had not undergone the test of experience. It was thought, thetefore, no more than common prudence to adopt a scale of premiums which would, in any event, meet all thc presumed and unforeseen contingencies of the business. As long as the matter was involved in some doubt,' it was better to fix the rate too high than to incur the risk of making it too low ; because, in the former case, the error could be easily remedied, at least in part, by returning to the policyholders, at certain intervals, such portion of the premium charged as was found unnecessary for thc purposes of the business and the complete security of the Company. Experience, however, having satisfactorily demonstrated that these rates, are .excess sive, what possible excuse can there be' !*'>r maintaining them ? ? Ayailipg themselves of this experience, the Directors and'^Ianaeers of t]m Utixversal Jjijc fMW-f?^'Q^^W? tit its. ft^a^ijal'jo?, t?4op|?4 "ft'ap??o of premiums in accor dance therewith, an^ }fhjph "has provea to bo fair- and adequate, and all that waa necessary to metf the xr-'qiiirenicnts of the business, These premiums are about twenty five per cent, lower tUjy> those charged by Mutual Companies It afso appeared, inasmuch as the rates so established were as near as could possibly be determined /air rates, and not in excess of what Insurance has previously cost the Policyholders in ifttftte/Companies, that any profits arising from prudent manage ment' justly and properly belonged to the stockholders of the Company, for the risk incurred by them in undertaking the business. J \penance has shown that there arc sources of profit in the practice of the business which theory will not tfhnit of being considered as elements m thc calculation pf thc premiums. These- results from a'saving in the modality of the mcm.lwi, <tf a Com pany owing to the metical selection of good lives, a gain in iritw'ytft on thu investment* of the. Corapanv over that assumed in the calculation qf it's' premiums, the. profits derivable from the Upsijig and suvr^uty vi Jf?l?cies' by the members, and from other R?tiov sources. ' . " .

'?' ' By th? syst cnn ni Insurance, original with tho Universal^ the policyholder secures the following important advantages : ' FiasT. Insurance ai the regul?r " Stock" rules, requiring q primary otftluy of about twenty to thirty per cerk. less than that charged by Mutual Ompaniet, and which is.ro/aivnlent tb & yearly " dividend" paid in advance-oft?tfit amount ou mutual rates. This low cost of insurance is worthy of attention. Since its organization this Company has received xi premiums from its policyholders the sum of ?1,517,000. To effect thc same amonnt of insurance in a Mutual Company would have cost them un initial outlay of $2,000,000. By allowing its policyholders" to retain in their own pos session this "excess of $483,000, the Universal has virtually paid them a " dividend ' of $483,000, and paid it, too, in advance, instead of at the end of orte or more years, rt is impossible to find any example of a Mutual Company furnishing insurance at so low a cost by retuming'to ita policyholders an equal amount upon similar receipts. , SECCSD. Participation in the legitimate profits of the Company, typon qplun which secures to the polieynolders the same treatment which P?re?t?jS Stoekltotaers awarol to themselves. This system of participation, in coniiection with thc low " stock" rates of premium, must necessarily secure lo. the policyholders every possible advantage to be derived from prudent and careful management. The low rates -of premium compel economy, and, independent of participation, guarantee to the policyholder his insurance at a rate which is not in excess of the cost in well managed mutual companies ; while, by the proposed plan, of participation in what m?y be considered the legitimate profits of the business, the cost will be still further diminished. Thus by the combined advantages arising from low stock rate and participation in the profits it is confidently believed that the UNIVERSAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY offers insurance at its lowest practicable cost. J?3." Those of thc existing Policyholders who desire to participate in. the Profits under the new Plan can do so by making application to the ?$9&d Qfijoe, or to any -of the Agents of the Company.
