On Suuday next, ?there will hedi service in thc Episcopal Church in forenoon. The Baptist and Moth< Churches will be closed. Tho protracted meetings at John and Harmony came to an end on Wed day of last wee*.. At Johnston 5 members were added to the church. The Union Meeting at Ebenezer Chi on Sunday last, was very largely atti ed. The exercises of the day opened by the Rev. Mr. Horn ard admirably trained singing class, t which an address was made to the ? day School by tho Rev. Mr. Meal The morniug sermon-one of the ever heard in any pulpit-was deliv( by the Rev. Dr. Furman of Ridge Spi The afternoon sermon was deliverec thc Rev. Mr. Mea.ing. And apropos of Dr. Furman, we 1 that he will preach in our village Bat. Church on the third Sunday iu month. We earnestly hopo this r bo so. And apropos of the Rev. Mr. Hoi singing school at Ebenezer, wc atteni one of its meetings on Friday mom last, and found the occasion ono of gi interest Mr. 1 loni's "method is a g< and true one; and both, as regards p cisi?n of tiraeand part-earr\dng, hisser ars sing excellently. We would like have heard them :dng some good, pu legitimate ecclesiastical music, cf wh there is so much in thc world. But stead of that, like almost everybody t now-a-days, they have taken up with vile, frisky mob sings of Saukey n Bliss. If there is anything in this wo that could be nastier than Moody and preaching, it is Sankey and his songs. The Prize Scholarship for Greek a Latin at Washington and Lee Univers!

An fthe great pow-wow at Batt shu rg, to di; cuss the division of the County, is l take place on the 18th-only three dav later. Let us journey from one to th other-swing around the circle as it wen Again wc are under obligation to o*J generous and enterprising friend. Cap Clinton Ward, for endless quantities c tho most super!) peaches and grapes notably the Chinese Cling in its utmos perfection.? When Capt. Ward brougii us ibis magnificent box, we were in th ar ms of the actors, actresses and lid dlers; and when we get with such, w are so on our native heath that it is diffi cult to draw us thence. Consequent!; we dbl not seo our friend to learn th names of several other new and beauti ful varieties. But certainly the nex most delightful thing in the world ti a :tors, actresses and tiddlers, is a gener ons friend with peaches and grapes ! Ii another year Capt.

Creek And may the summer he very far ??if that sh di not bring him to us! Our young friend. Motte Parker, sec ond son of Dr. Horace Parker, is back from the Holy Communion Institute? Charleston, where we understand, he took a high stand and was verj popular. rm th ; loth instant, tho Edgefield Ri fles, wit!, a few invited guests, will cele brate tho anniversary of the gre.it politi cal meeting of August lv7i'? (bi this oc casion they will give asocial barbecue at the DurisoeSpring, a mile from town, attended by target shooting and other manly exercises. Several handsome ami fascinating I wretches who live in Augusta, are now I among us on a sum mer vacation-kick H ing nj. their heels and '* scooping" tilings I generally-Mr. Julian Moldcy. of W.

We Hbopc some friend will send us an account HM of Jj Indeed we wish our friends hi all parts Sn of tho country would semi us notes and items of anything of interest that may transpire near them. Tho Pine House amateurs, whoso suc cess in " Armand" last week was so em phatic, have presented to our Episcopal Church a very pretty sum of money. - Our farmers should not forget to sow plentifully of oats in August and Sep tember. Let all thc cotton laud bc Bown ' down in oats and wheat, plant tho bal ance of your cultivatable land in corn next spring and then real and substan tial prosperity will begin to dawn in our midst. The hanging of the wretched negro, Cusb Harris, is to tak* place on the last day of this month. Sheriff Gaston iu forms us that he has not yet decided up on the spot for tho execution. In the meantime tho condemned man makes a confession to Mr. Gaston that he alone devised the murder of Mr. Holloway and perpetrated it, no one assisting him, and no ono being privy to the deed. This, however, is clearly not true, as any sen sible man may judge who heard tho evi dence upon the trial-particularly Wince ? Caldwell's. Before thc final hour, Cush ' may probably tell another tale. " When an ass is going to bray, be al ways begins by raising his tail, aud he keeps it extended horizontally as long as his song lasts. To insure his silence, you have only to tic a large stone to the end of his tail, so that he cannot raise it." Oh ! that public speakers, senators, rep resentatives, lawyers, and, alas! preach ers and editors, had tails! Bray an ass in a mortar and his foolishness will not depart from him, but tie a reek to his tail aud you have yoi him. We have spent a couple of days at Pino j Uouse lately and we think it decidedly I the most delightful place in the world far preferable to the White Sulphur Springs. And of course it is the po'pie that make the place. What would even Paris be without its people ? Please won't somebody give us some sort of position at Pine House? No matter how humble, so it enables us to live there. But we cannot become reconciled to tue site of Ebenezer Church, A horrid sand bed, without even a sprig of night shade. Tho projectors of this church must have been raving distracted In stead of Ebenezer,, it should be called Sahara. When we went to Mr. Horn's singing school, we gazed at the sun and tho sand until we fell into a day trance, in which the buggy horses out-ido thc church were changed into camels, and Mr Horn and his pupils into traveling Arabs journeyiug to Mecca-whilo the shady and beautiful home of our young friend, Armand Etheredge, some 500 yards away, looked like an oasis in the waste of sand, an oasis in which there might bo a palm tree, a spring of water, and a bird of paradise. We even love the dogs at Pine House! Yes, even the dog* are amiable and ac eunplishea. And let us tell you a tale of one. In fact in those days v. hen men and women aro so slippery, it is not im ! wisc to turn from them now and then i and c intcmpiato the faithfulness of dogs. II will do us good. Our dog is named I "Monkey*' and he belongs io thc Bettis household. He is a pointer, and the most beautiftd one we ever saw. Before ro tiring up stairs to heil, one of the young lady guests of the family pulled oil* all iier '*tbings"-breastpin, ear-rings, brace lets, sash, necktie, fan, Ac, (Sc., and laid them on the piano, whore she left them. Early next morning, while we sat at thc piano, the ladies not having come down M >nkcy carno to us with anote in his monti), in which wc were instructed to wrap np certain things in paper, put the parcel in his mouth, and bid him "carry it li]) stairs to bis Miss." We dill as di rected, and away sped Monkey up stairs and delivered his burden. And then bo came again and again until all the young lady's things were safely delivered to her-including the jewelry. Sometimes Mr Bettis, sen'r., wandt'Syinto the fields before sunrise without hat orgloves, and if the sun shines out too brightly before his return, the ladies of-the family put his hat and gloves into Monkey's mouth, who understands his errand perfectly and bastes away to lind his master ho matter w herc thc latter may be. So when you hear of beautiful and useful dogs in future, always think ol "Monkey Bet tis." Rea l tho account on our 1st page of the arrest of ex-Gov. Moses in Charleston. He is now in jail in Columbia. It is said that w hile his family live in Colum bia, in the elegant Presten mansion, he runs a gaming table in Charleston. One of the negroes condemned to be banged-not Cush Harris, but the other one-was baptized in the jail a day or two ago. Our section was visited by a very line rain on Tuesday last. Previous to this for some days-the heat had been per fectly unparalleled. The inevitable penalty of matrimony now a-days is twins. And a fearful pen alty it is! A solemn and terrible warn ing ! Within the course ol' bia* months, seven pairs of twins have been born in our town aud vicinity. Right in our midst-only ~> days back-two whopping male infants were dropped from the heights above. In such days it is cer tainly tho height and depth of wisdom to keep on the outside. " Where Arc You Going To, My Pretty Maid?" "I'm going to Oates', sir, she said." Tiie popular Music House of Geo. A. Oates, Augusta-the oldest establish mont of the kind in Georgia or South Carolina -comes to thc front in this week's Ad vertiser with a very cunningly devised card, in which our old and esteemed friend, Mr. Oates, enum?rales in part the many advantages ho oilers to thc public. Mr. Oates now, as for forty years past, sells Piano Fortes emanating only fruin the very best makers-Checkering, Steinway, Weber, Knabe, Hazelton, ?fcc, tte., Ac.-and sells them as cheap as they can possibly be bought this side of the factories And exactly so of Organs. But to be sotting forth Mr. Oatd' experience ami merits asa piano dealer, is really [?ko treating anew of one of tho "over lasting hills." Our people know him well and trust him perfectly. And this Jail, when there is a little money to spare, c vi? ry ono who wishes apiano or an or gan, will, like tho "Pretty Maid," hie away to (?alis " wit!? a ha, ha, ha!"' The Philadelphia Weekly Times. A uiong thc many new candidates for public favor, wc know of none that we can moro earnestly commend tn our friends than the " Philadelphia l?^ekly Times." We regard this as one of the ablest papers in tho United States ; and though a Libera' Republican, it proved itself in the late i'aign an invaluable ally for the South-so much so, that Re publicans have classed it amongst Demo cratic papers.

This is the wave upon whose crest wo rode triumphantly for two days and nights during the past ?week. Pine House was alive with Mr. R. P. Henry, his pupils, his amateurs, his musicians. If was delightful, intel lectual, gay, lippy, sumnioiish. On Thursday night carno thc School Exhi bition. Beautiful stage on the spacious platform of tho depot building. Sides closed in with bagging. Comfortable benches a; .1 chairs. Brilliant lights and tasteful stage decorations. Thrco million people present, "old men and maidens, young men and children," beauty, gal lantry, fashion. Old people-time-strick en Hatchers, Swcaringens, Etheredges, Kirkseys, Marshes, dfcc-who we know had not left their homes at night in a thousand years. Horses, chariots, bug gies, extra trains, negroes, dogs, melons, peaches, grapes, Howers, ice-cream, lem onade. Lively and witty charades. Ex quisite tableaux. Stirring recitations. And last but not least, that inimitable satire upon shoddy high life in New York entitled "Our Best Society," in which young Millers and Wises and Kirkseys and Smiths and Harrises and Longs and Lees aud Ivcys and Holds and Meachunis and SwearingCus and Lo tts played as if they had been accus tomed to tho stag-, all their brief lives. A perfect success; indeed a wondorful success! Everybody delighted beyond measure ! And then two days of dolec far nicntc -waiting for Saturday night and "Ar mand." And when it (unne, how beau tiful it was ! Mr. B. C. Ethercdge in the titlo role-young and handsome, and playing his intensely beautiful and in tellectual part with a combined tender ness and manliness truly admirable Miss Lizzie Kirksey, as " Blanche," the true and bigh-souled heroine-lovely in person, graceful in movement, and evincing the most intelligent and woman ly appreciation of her noble and impas sioned role. Miss Lizzie Sease, a bright and pretty brunetto of sixteen summers transformed into " Dame Babette" an old and wrinkled French peasant-in many respects the most difficult part, but rendered with a naturalness, a quiet and quizzical humor, and an originality of manner, that betokened very uncom mon intelligence and aptitude. Mr. ll. T. Henry as tho Duke do Richclicu-a crafty courtier, bold, subtle, unscrupu lous, with but one soil spot in his heart -love for his daughter-played by Mr. Henry with a felicity absolutely worUiy of tho legitimate stage. Mr. Luther Sheppard, as Louis XV, a weak and licentious mona?ch ; Mr. Sheppard has a handsome presence, a voice not only of rare power, but of rare beauty, and made the very utmost of a very ungracious role. Mr. E. G. Crouch, another very handsome yourie; person transformed into the aged and dc-repid Duke D'Antin, a man of sorrow ai.d di appointment, devoting his lifo t?i .schemes of revenge n pon the bet ra*, er of his daughter-an other ungracious role very linc!}' played. Mr. Joe Kirkley, as " 1 e Sage" a shrewd and witty atlacheo? thc Duke D'Anthl the comii- character id' thc drama-given by Mr. Kirksey willi a great deal of humor and mock wisdom. Miss Pct Harris, a little girl of 1:1, as " Jaquelinc," a young peasant maiden-as bright and stuart and ready as if she had been trained by Lester Wallack. Master .Josey Lee, a handsome boy of 13, tis "Victor" the page-a perfect courtier in miniature-manly ai d graceful and knightly as a young troubadour. And peasant maidens, and peasant youths, and .soldiers, and guards-all young, and gay, and fit!! >l intelligent animation And the bright may-pole scone ! Anil 1 ame Babette courtesying to thc king ! And thc tender and mournful scene of Blanche on thc bier! Ami thc revelation of Richelieu as tho father of Blanche! And thc breaking of thc sword by Ar mand ! And the final reunion and em brace of Armand and Blanche! Beau tiful, emotional, intellectual ! And then the band! What arc their D'unes? Young Armand Ethcicdgu, and Mr. John Cahill, and Mr. Langdon Miles, and Mr. Bin Hughes and sometimes Mr. Frank Betlis and Mr. John Miles They played charmingly, and wc venerate them. We venerate all the children of music. We would tcuderly embrace a dwarf that played on a corn-stalk liddle! But the lugh wave has ebbed, and we have fallon oil' the brilliant crest into the dat and heavy waters of tho Advertiser office. Such is life! On tho wave to day; in the bog to-morrow! We feel, however, that tisis wave will again conic to Hood time. And then-especially if it dows towards Pine Jloutc-we shall again leap upon the crest and be there ! Thc Working Christian. We copy tho following club rates from tho Working Christian, of Columbia a denominational paper of the very highest excellence If the Baptists of Edgeliold are not supporting the ll 'orb ing Christian liberally, they are falling very far short of their duty: We will send the Working Christian to clubs of Five or more at One Dollar and Sixty Cen ?J* each tor one year.

In the frontispiece to the August num ber, the Eclectic pays au amiable coinpll ment to its Southern patrons by repro ducing in lino steel engraving a portrait j of Mr Paul H.

An appreciative biographical sketch accompanies the portrait, in which ap propriate mention is made of the diili cultics with which Mr. Hayne has had to contend in pursuing his chosen career The literary contents of thc number are fully up to thc usual high standard of tho magazine.

Will not the culling olT Kew Lexing ton from Aiken for the County of Butler make Aiken a Radical countv? If so we shall oppose il. Further, the shape ol' Lexington, according to the boundaries heretofore proposed is very objectionable.

The boundaries given by " lluiet Town shin," a correspondent of the Edgelield Advertiser, take only a narrow strip from Lexington, if any, and to that there would be little opposition in this county.
