Ou Saturday morning last, the infant child of our beloved young friends, Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Dobey, was laid to ever lasting rest in our village cemetery. This dear little child was an only ore, and, therefore, an unspeakable loss to its fond parents. What is woe for them, however, is bliss for the child. When we look around and see the evil wave ci" men, it is a bless ed thought that we have children in Heav en and not on earth. Death of Jamis E. Cook. On Wednesday, the 3rd instant, as our last issue was being printed,' Mr. James E. Cook, of Granjtevilie, whil\ in Augusta, was stricken with paralysis, and after ly ing*! for an hour or two, prostrate ar d "speechless, in the Globe Hoto!, died at 1 o'clock p. m. James E Cook was an Edgefield man, a native.of the Mountain Creek section. From his earliest man hood, however, he had lived in Granilc ville, where he acquired a fortune, and a name ?.nat was a synonym for piety, hon or, honesty, enterprise, public spirit, and benevolence. Indeed, throughout his life( James E. Cook was such a man as we are delighted to write down asa native of Edgefield. We knew him well ; and in our life we have known no better mau. We hope-and we believe-that his soul is with God. Death ot' Mr?. Emily Doro. This widely-known and widely-beloved lady, the wife of Capt. James Dorn, of Webster County, Ga., and the mother of our honored townswoman, Mrs. Dr. Par ker, died, at her home, on Sunday morn ing last, after a lingering illness of several months, aged, we think, about seventy years. Mrs. Dorn was Miss DMW, of Sleepy Creek, an elder sister of Messrs. Aarou, Marion and Rufus Dean. Until twenty years back-when lier husband, comparatively broken np by the vicissi tudes of the war-removed lo Georgia of cenrse she had lived all her life in her native section, where she was ever noted for piety, benevolence and very unusuaj purity of tone. Three of her children are aUll living in Edgefield. To these-lober aged and bereaved husband-aud to her troops of devoted relatives in many paris of our County-we beg leave to offer our most genuine sympathy, in tltis their sad and grievous bereavement. For the ?Ivertiaer, BATESBUR ?IAXUS?AH ??Fr.TT.tn.-. tr editor of the Monitor clings to what he said as regaids the* top of the wheel's moving one hundred and fifty times faster than the bottom, and calls our attention to the fact that the bottom of the wheel is the centre oi motion, which fact we fail to recog nize, and must insist that the centre of wheel is centre of motion. To prove that we are correct, we bring before him a wheel of twelve spokes; number the top Broke 1, next 2, next 3, and so on till we reach the twelfth one. We will begin with No. 1 at the top, which will throw No. 7 at the bottom; now turn the wheel just oae spoke and we will lind No. 2 at the top and No. S at the bottom ; turn it one more spoke, two more, or three more, and we will find No. 1 always directly opposite No. 7 ; No. 2 oppo site No. 8; No. 3 opposite No. 0, and BO on, proving that the bottom keeps exact pace with the top. We agree with the Abbeville Press and Banner in saying that "the top goes forward while the bottom does not;" since v/hile the top is going down, the bot tom is coming np; but still every por tion of a wheel at the same circnm ference moves alike. We hope wo have made onrselvesclear to our friend of the Monitor. Yours truly, A SUBSCRIBER. Meal, Fiour, Grits, Bacon, Lard, Hains, Canned GIKXJS, C. O.

This occasion promises lo be one of very great interest, and we are much obliged to Prof. Brown for an invitation to be present. Coleman Academy. An Edgefield school, of whose manage ment and prosperity we often hear pleas ant accounts, is Coleman Academy, near Higgins' Ferry, presided over by Miss Annie M. Floyd, a young lady who, aside from her accomplishments and experience, has an unusual gift in arousing and sus taining the ambition of her pupils. The exercises of Coleman Academy will close in July, with an exhibition, at which we hope to bc present Ridge Spring and Johnston. Bro G. F. Williams writes us. says the Baptist Courier, that there ie an outcrop ping of considerable interest in his con gregation at Ridge Spring, and then he tells us about the great work of grace at Johnston : " Bro.

Simons yesterday sent to the ellice ol the j\m-s and Courier an ounce and u half vial filled with water from a single hail stone that fell here during the terrible storm ol June 5, 1 ri 10. The vial has been hermetically sealed for the last forty five yeats. The water is compare 'i vely clear, though of a brownish tint, and in it is a brown spongy looking sub stance very much resembling an or dinary sized tadpole. The bottle was shown to one of the leading chemists ol' the city who p.ve ?tas his opinion that it. contained n Jaige amount of unusual mineral matter. Several scientific gentlemen stated that it would be a great curiosity to have the bottle opened and the water analyzed, but in the absence of Mr. Simons, who had not given his consent to such a pioceediug, this cf course could not ie done. Some ol the gentlemen referred to said that the water, as Boon an the cork wool 1 be removed, would become o Henni vely putrid, and probably turn as black us ink.- A'civs and Courier. A gentleman who mete: President Arthur at Fortress Mom- e duriug his recent visit to that place, says tbat lie was apparently as unhappy a man during his entire visit as could have been fjiind. JL; Reeraed to be infer ested in no one or anything, avoided society, and was even indifferent to his meals. The belief that he was in poorer health than he would admit was forced upon sevoral persons who knew him. The National Republican says: "A prominent physician who has ?Hid. returned ?rora New York is quoted as saying that ex President Arthur is suffering from Bright's dis ease. Mr. Arthur's visit to Fortress Monroe waR not for malarial troubles, says the physician, but waa to obtain relief from kidney troubles, willi which he has been Buffering for over a year. Mr. Arthur, he says, is looking badly, and seems to be Bullering intensely. Mr. Arthur is preparing for a sea voyage."

From thc Hampton Guardian. Last bYiday "morning's Auguata bo'und train roiied up to the depot at McNeills on time, and the passengers and those of the citizens congregated there for business witnessed a sight that either froze them with astonish ment or made them very sick at their stomachs. As we are informed, the two Massachnsetts schoolmarms were at the station to hoard the train, hav ing determined to go "Narth" to spend their summer vacation..? The platform was black and redolent with negro men, women and children, the latter composing the scholars of the institution presided over by these schoolmarms. The hour of parting having arrive 1, the good-byes to the adults were most affectionately said as the hearty hand-shaking went round, and sorrowful adieus were bid den. So far the scene waa interesting, bu-, when the teacheis reached the scholars the exhibition became nau seating to those witnessing it. j The school marms began to kiss the little negroes .with a relish, and for a short time the business like "smack! smack! smack !" of osculation went on, until the ruby lips of the white inetr.uc -tresses had sipped the nectar from the capacious moutbs.of every bbssed little African on the platform ani be stowed a number of "busses" on the shining black faces of negro warnen. The "toot toot" of the steam wiistle resounded above the kissing throng, the females Btepped ou board the|cars, and the train moved efl'. If ifc,was the inteution of theae females toAiis gust the passengers and citizens by this spectacle, they succeeded. Such sights are new to people in South Carolina, and they are not disposed to endorse,- aid or abet the performers, The business of teaching negroe3 is not a very creditable one for the la dies to engage in, yet if. may no?; be repulsive to a class of people who have been taught that the negro ia superior to the white, and who carry th? ir puritanic fanaticism to extremes for the purpose of irritatingselfrespect ing citizens of communitir-s in which the school's are localed. These female teachers are, respectively, aged about ]9 and 22 years. The name of one ia Miss Carrie E. Warren, of Newton, Muss., and the other hails from El ving, Ma.'H., aud ia known aa Mies Oiara Belle Simouda. They are employed by tome benevolent society in the North, and no doubt regard them .selves as missionaries io a benighted and ; but, for the sake of decency ami good order, they should' not give any more public exhibitions of their lovn for I h? negro or practical lessens in social equality. We do not think the society which employs them willi approve of this method of enlighten ing the blacks, and we are not quite j prepared to believe, evan after thc dix.guatiug performance at McNeill'* station, that the people of Maasachn netts, aa a whole, are so fond of thj Southern black as these "down east] schcolmarws seem to be. If eo, thej wo most fervently beseech the Lord to keep from among us the! contaminating presence, and, if thc lo migrate Southward, only let a fci come at a time, that we may be er bled to massacre them without mi trouble.
