good joke is perfectly relished. Some
few days ago as the train on the Cheraw

A Promising Colt.
Wo rear! in the late California papers,
of the birth of a foul tinder most singular
circumstances. It rppeafs that a line
blooded face mate who was near her time
was feeding on the line of railroad near
Patterson's ram-he, when the morning
train from Folsom surprised het on the
track and literally cut her in two. Strange
to say, that though the mare was thus tittorly
crushed, her colt was thrown out to
the side of the track entirely unharmed. 1
"The colt," says ibo Town Talk of two
days afterwards, " was alive and on ita feet
1 i??.t r-vemmr. and there is everv nrosncct
of its being raised. It ha* already learn- I
ed to drink milk, and appears to be doing
an well as if born under natural circtim
stances. An offer of $10o wns refused
for the steam born racer. This is the first
time, wo holier*, that a locomotive has
flayed the part of midwife."

THE CROPS.
Wc arc glad to hear favorable reports of j
I the stands of both urn and cotton, trom ,
various sections of the surrounding country,
and with the warm and seasonable weather j
that we new have, the consequent back- j
tV.trdness of the crops from no unusunlly !
late Spring, may be in a great measure, if
not entirely overcome. A great deal of i
rain has fallen latterly, too much, very like- j
ly, for the young crops, hut they having been i
planted, and came uj> partly, through snow,
front and ice, it is presumed that they are i
in a condition to stand anything?even the |
Comet, should it not come loo near. Wo I
devoutly hope that n good crop year is (
before us, and that any who may beholding <
their corn back with the expectation of
getting an cxliorbitnnt priee for it, will be
i most egregious!V disappointed."

INFLUENCE OF NEV/SPAFERSTlic
Yorkville Enquirer, in a well writton
editorial upon newspapers and Education,
throws out the following suggestion*,
whit h is certainly woithy of consideration.
A similar measure was proposed before tlio
j Isouisiunn l<egt*lature during its last Ses;
sion, and we think a few thousands might
, ho very judiciously invested by every Slato
j in the Union in this way.
"It would actually be good economy in
the Htsle to furnish a paper to every family j
?or at least to every lamily whose proper- :
ty was less than live hundred dollars in !
value. It would tend greatly to remove
that foolish prejudice against education,
which pervades the lower classes, and pre- j
vents them from availing themselves of con- j
veniences for mental improvement that nlreauy
surround ih?m."
Mr'i 'he Edgefield Advertiser is inform- j
cd, that his statement in reference to the
llsmburg a/fair l??s not been doubted by us.

TRIAL OF MRS.CUNNINGHAM
This interesting rune, (ho trial of Mra.'l
Emma Cunningham for the murder of I)%
Hurdcll, has just concluded in New York, '
resulting in lit-r acquittal. The man Eckle,
supposed to he her confederate, was re I ens j
cd on his own recognizance. This case j
was explained to our readers some two '
months ago, shortly after the mnrder was
committed, it excited a deep and almost
universal interest, being one of the most '
diabolical and, as it seems, cleverly devised
crimes on record; and although this woman
is acquitted, yet there are but few, we presume,
who have heard, or who have read
the fearful array ??f testimony against her,
though intdnty ciivtims'ancial, that can fully
believe In her innocence. The jury, it
accuift, bad a doubt, though slight it must
have beett, and she has bad the benefit of i>.
VVu append a tlolibo of the closing scene
upon llie trial :
| "The jury retired precisely at 7 o'clock.
1 All eyes '.ve re directed after them as they
dctilcd behind (lie Judge's chair tin tlieir
| way to the jury room.
For a few minutes there was some slight
departure from the wonted quiet stillness '
and order of the Court. There were efforts
on the part of the Indies to get a nearer view
I of the now celebrated woman whose fate
was at. this moment hanging so nsvfully in
tiie balance, lint she avoided as well as ,
possible, this impertinent, though natural
curiosity. Resting her head upon her hand
and looking dbwnwurd, silent, nnd it may ;
be prayerful, the daughters persisted in
keeping their veils down so that the curiosi. |
ty of prying eyes was nrt gratified.
i At twenty (ive minutes t<? K o'clock the 1
buz Went round tlint the jury hud agreed ,
and wen* entering the court. It proved to
; he correct. The jury entered and look
their seats on the box. All eyes were turned
toward them. A painful profound still. |
neSa reigned throughout the court. The !
Clerk (Air. Henry Vundertoort) took his
position on the witnoas choir, to cull over
the names of the jurora and to put the uauid
formal questions to them.
Before this was done, however, as n prei j
rnuiion against a probable manifestation Af ,
feeling on the rendition of the vedict, lite 1
folding doora between the principal Court
and the Marine Court were drawn together
and thu immense audience in the latter
Court thus shut out from witnessing the
lust deeply exciting scene.
Mr. VardekVoort? Gentlemen of Uie

and much agitated wan caused to stand up

Augusta Cunningham, otherwise callod j
Burdull, guilty or not guilty ?

[Some manifestations of applause.]
Nits. Cunningham was so agitated that
she hoard not the words that the foreman
uttered, and did not know what the verdict
was till tier counsel whispered it to her ;
then she sunk buck overpowered by her
feelings.

were then eondneted out of the Court into

some time received the congratulation of
their friends on the happy lei ruination of
the prosecution. We iitulerslaiid that they

Where's the woman docs not regret

Ye do deserve your OUs eti bxiriUn.

Countless thousands of children mourn.
