On 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 lit rle child was an only one, 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 ways of men, it is a bless ed thought that we have children in Heav en and not on earth. Dettth of James E. Cook. On Wednesday, the 3rd instant, as our last issue was being printed, Mr. James E. Cook, of Granjteville, wkile,^ in Augusta, was stricken with paralysis, and after ly lng'for an hour or two, prostrate ard u-speechless, in the Globe Hole!, 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 bad lived in Granite tille, where he acquired a fortune, and a name that was a synonym for piety, hon- J or, honesty, enterprise, public spirit, and benevolence. Indeed, throughout his lifei 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 man. We hope-and we believe-that his soul is with God. Death of Mm. Emily Dorn. _ 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 Dean, of Sleepy Creek, an elder sister of Messrs. Aaron, Marion and Rufus Dean. Until twenty years back-when her husband, comparatively broken np by the vicissi tudes of the war-removed to Georgia of course 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 aiill living in Edgefield. To these-to her aged and bereaved husband-and to her troops of devoted relatives in many parts of our County-we beg leave to offer our most genuine sympathy, in this their sad and grievous bereavement. BATESBTJR *f "Ey-? editor of the Monitor clings to whal he said as regalds 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 tht wheel is the centre ol motion, which fact we fail to recog nize, and must insist that the centre of wittel is centre of motion. To prove that we are correct, we bring before him a wheei of twelve spokes; number the top stoke 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 one spoke and we will find 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. 9, and BO on, proving that the bottom keeps exact pace with the top. We agree with the Abbeville Press and Panner io saying that "the top goes forward while the bottom does not;" since while the top ia going down, the bot tom ia coming np; but still every por tion of a wheel at the same circu?a ference moves alike. We hope wo have made ourselves clear to our friend of the Monitor. Yours truly, A SUBSCRIBER. Meal. Flour, Grits, Bacon, Lard, Hams, Canned Goods, C. O.

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.

Strange Relit of a Famous Hail Storm. Mr. John H. Simona yesterday sent to ihe cilice of the New* and Courier an ounce and a half vial filled with water from a single hail stone that fell here during the terrible storm ol June 5, 1340. The vial has been hermetically sealed for the last forty five years. The water is comparatively desi-, though ol a brownish lint, and in it is a brown spongy looking sub stance very much resembling an or dinary sized tadpole. The bottle was shown lo one of the leading ebemists of the city who gave it. as hie opinion that. it. contained a large amount of unusual mineral matter. ?Several scientific gentlemen stated that it would be a great curiosity to have the bottle opened and tho water analyzed, but in the absence of Mr. ?Simous, who bad not joven his consent to such a proceed i ug, this of course could not be done. Some ol the gentlemen referred to said that the water, as soon an the cork wnnl 1 be removed, would become offensively putrid, and probably turn as black as ink.- Netos and Courier. A gentleman who met ex President A ri bur at Fortress Morir o during his recent visit to that place, says that he was apparently as unhappy a man during his entire visit as could have been bund. Ile seemed to be inter ested in no one or anything, avoided society, and was even indi fi?rent to his meals. The belie! that he was in poorer health than he would admit was forced upon several persons who knew bim. The Nal ional Republican says: "A prominent physician who has just returned (rom New York is quoted as sa>ing that ex President Arthur is suffering from Bright's die ease. Mr. Arthur's visit to Fortress Monroe was not for malarial troubles, says the physician, but was to obtain relief from kidney troubles, with which he has been Buffering for over a-year. Mr. Arthur, he says, is looking badly, and seems to be suffering intensely. Mr. Arthur is preparing for a sea voyage."

Yankee Schoolmarms* A DlfgUHlliii Scone nt McN?i 1^ -lina Laut Friday-White W Kissing Negroes. From thc HamjHov Guardian. Last Friday "morning's Augusta bound train rolled np to the depot at McNeill's on time, and the passengers and those of the citizens congregated there for business witnessed a sight that either froze them with astonish meuL or made them very sick at their stomachs. As we are informed, the two Massachusetts schoolmarms were at the station to board the train, hav ing determined to go "iNarth" 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 roun i, and sorrowful adieus were bid den. So far t he scene waa interesting, hui when the teachers reached the scholars the exhibition becamenau seating to those witnessing it. j The Schoolmarms began to kiss the little negroes with a relish, and for a short time the business like "smack! soack! emack I" of osculation went on, intil the ruby lips of the white instruc tresses had sipped the nectar from the capacious moutha of every biassed little African on the platform anil be stowed a number of "busses" on the shining black faces of negro women. The "toot toot" of the steam wnistle resounded above the kissing throng, the females stepped ou board thecars, and the train moved iff. If ikwas the intention of these females to^dis guet the passengers and citizens. by this 'spectacle, they succeeded. Such eights are new to people in South Carolina, and they are not disposed to endorse,- aid or abet the performers, The business of teaching negroea ia not a very creditable one for this la dies to engage in, yet it may not be repulsive to a class of people who have been taught that the negro is superior to the white, and who carry tht ir puritanic lanaticism to extremes for I he purpose ul irritating Helfrespeot ing citizena of communities in which tbe school's are located. These female teachers are, respectively, aged about 19 aud years. The name of one is Miss Canie E. Warren, of Newton, Mass.] and the other bails from Ei ving, Mast., and ia known as Miss Clara Lidie Simouda. They are employed by tom?s benevolent society in the North, and no doubt regard them selves as missionaries in a benighted ?nd ; but, for the eake. of decency and good order, they should' not give any more public exhibitions of their love for Ibo negro or practical lessens in social equality. We do not think the eociety which employa them will approve of this method of enlighten ing the blacks, and we are not quite! prepared to believe, even aiter thej lisguatiug performance at McNeill'fi station, tbat the people of Massachu setts, as a whole, are so fond of th Southern black as these "down east Hohcolmarms seem to be. If so, the wc most fervently beseech the gou Loni to keep from among us thej ontaminating presence, and, if tht lo migrate Southward, only let a fJ onie at a time, that we may be et bled to massacre them without mul trouble.
