Sam Jones, the evangelist, said to a Baltimore audience the other day: "You may call this 'silly talk, but I'm talking to a silly crowd." The fact that the audience did not withdraw proved the truth of his assertion. , The South will have 30C. votes in the National Democratic Convention. . It will be remembered that 306 was the number of interested patriots who wanted Gen. Grant nominated for a third term. The grand jary of Edgefield reported S. S. Tompkins, Esq., Master r for that county a defaulter to the extend of several thousand dollars. He has resigned. It is thought he will make up. the deficiency. He is over 70 years of age. There is much truth in the assertion that the boy or girl who is a regular % reader of the newspaper will grow up in intelligence, and will use proper language ia speaking and writing even if their education is limited. It is news, science, literature, history, geography and spelling combined. Albany. N. Y., August 15.?John J. Reilly, aged 22, foreman in the scratch shop of Rathburn, Sard & Co.'s stove foundry, disappeared Saturday morning. Tojday his body was found in an oven for baking . ladles. It is presumed he went in there, and, laying down, fell asleep. Fire was started Saturday and the door of the oven was locked. His presence not being known, he was baked for abont forty hours. ,v I * The most horrible - and desastrous r railway accident that ever occurred in this or perhaps in any other country happened on the Toledo, Peoria and Western railread near Chatsworth, IJh, last Thursday eveuing. fln nrrnnrfrn fmin carrying a dozen.cars and near 1,000 people, while running at the rate of GO miles per * jyDr^crashed through a burning trestle killing over 150 persons and wounding, crippling and maiming over 250 more.' Two months ago ex-Governor Franklin J. Moses was pardbned out of the Massachusetts penitentiary. ' At the time'it was said he was dying. Since then his health has improved as he has. written a, book of 1,-iOO pages on reconstruction and prison reform. ? He relates hi3 own experience at some length, in order he Bays, "that I might add my individual efforts to those which others are making towards - explaining the subject of prison reform." The exGovernor* and ex-convict ought to dedicate his book to R. B. Hayes. The latter fraud in addition to raising chickens takes considerable interest in prison reform. Peak and Bightwell Notes. Rev. J. K. Efird took a stalk of Mr. Adam Frick's corn to the Ioter-State ; Encampment containing, if I have been authentically informed, about I eight ears of corn. This, of coarse, was taken for exhibition. It has been the pleasure of your scrbe to walk over a number of the experimental farms, the products of which were assigned the members of Rigbtwell Farmers' Club. All these are looking well. The committee of inspection has just completed its in-; spection tour and gives a glowing acconnt. This shows the importance of a well organized, first-class Farmer's Clnb. ' The members of St. Peters church have taken subscription lists and have commenced digging a well at the church. This will be a great advantage when completed, as a well at this place has long been a necessity. The Sunday-school at St. Jacob's church has recently been organized. The following constitutes the pre'serjt faculty: Dr. J. W. Eargle, Supt.; D. * TTT Vl.'Uitnn A eoicfarif Snnf A X. H < IT U11C3) aooiotuuv WUM?J . Slice, Treasurer.' The male teachers are G. W.

With this corps of competent instructors and instructresses the schoool mast prosper. I presume it numbers seventy-five or more popils now. J. J.

Thunder and lightning, see bow our prospects. 1 are brightening. | "See thai 6aJ3 tbe Colonel, i hrap of that that falls in my 'held now meaus a kernel of com for me." Lightning picked about a square | rod of Mr. Joseph Williamson's I cotton plants and bolls and all; split a mammoth hickory tree at Mr. J. J. Jefcoat's, crackled along the ground like a troop of crazy goblins at Mr. , Henry C. Kirkland's and altogether | behaved in i'ts usually eccentric man- i i ner when making a close call. Corn and cotton are doiDg well on | Cedar creek, Pond branch and at j Oakvilla. . The water rose rapidly in our j streams daring the late rains doing some damage but nothing serious. Turpentine men are very busily employed at tbi3 season; the sound of the hack is heard on all sides in the woods as the chipper follows his active avocation and the distilleries are all running up to their full capacity. A? I said before, change of occupation is rest on Pond branch. Many have now- laid by their crops and are preparing to go into the woods to cat timber for fall rafting. The gopd prices realized this year ?for timber and the abundant corn crop now in view, promising ample sustenance until returns are received from timber .shipments, have induced the lumber men to make -ah earlier start than usual determined to beat the record of 8G 87, which was the highest ever attained on the Branch. Messrs. Rice and Martin .of Oak villa have warned Mr. Thos. Craft of an approaching visit and a desire to . go a fishing with him. Since this ominous message was received Tom my has been troubled, and even Mr. McDougal when appealed to for help in the shape of a loan of a flat boat offers jdo comfort since he says he would rather have eighty barrels of I rosin on board than such heavy I weights as Rice and Martin at the ! same time. Mr. AT. Kirkland has invested in seme real estate at Five Points and i proposes to go into merchandising ! there late in this year or early in the i next. . . i When b^oom corn is scarce the 1 Pond branch housewife can readily ? fall back on the hog weed broom. i The Colonel saw some youDg men -i in bathing and disguising himself i with brushes on his head masquerad- < ed on the bill, starting the boys for < home in a hurfry very badly scared thinking that at last their time had come... ij Mr. John Craft, of Oakvilla, is still p battling bravely wi^h his affliction i that is daily underdiiDmg;* bis once I magnificient constitution. / The Pond branch beef market can-? < not be said to be flourishing since) there has been but two or three* ] beeves offered this year. * ' 1 i Mr. Samuel Tyndeli will be a bene^ ( factor to Pond branch, if his efforts; * to train the musical talent thereon j abounding are successful. The sing- < ing iu the churches is seldom aftrac- < tive and sometimes scarcely creditable i and even the Sabbath schools are not j quite up to#the mark they are capable \ of attaining. Mr. More Jefcoat is profoundly ab-- ] sorbed in the study of a system of ] brakes for his runaway ox, being ] greatly assisted in his ruminations by ( the fact that he is confined to his bed from the result of the last runaway in which himself and his bovine figured. Mr. IIirain Hutto has a patch .of .neatly cultivated cotton on the Blackville road that is a joy to the eye of the lover of agricultural neatness, and the fruit in his orchard glistens like jewels half hid amid the abnnd[ ant foliage. H. R. H. John of Mash Island,claims to have corn planted in rows t six feet apart so vigorous in growth that the ground is completely shaded over so that the lightning bugs deceived by the gloom, may be seen.displaying themselves all day long with their illuminated ends in full- opera- ] tion. # Mr. Adolphns Gantt has gained ' the prize annually offered by Mr. | Thos.

Lutheran Sunday-school Convention cf Lexington county convened iu St. Stephen's Lutheran church, Lexington, S. C., Friday Aug. 12th, at 11 a. m. Opening religious exercises were conducted by Revs. Daniel Efird and M. M. Kinard. A cordial welcome to the hearts and homes of the community was extended by Maj. H. A*. Meetze. A temporary organization showed thirty-nine delegates present who were enrolled and .permanent organization formed by electing thefollowing officers for the ensuiDg vAftr* Dtps.. Mai. H. A. Meetze: Vice-Pres., Rev. S. S. Rahn; Secty., Rev. E. E. Barclay; Treas., D. Frank Efird, Esq. Friday afternoon was taken np with hearing the reports of the different schools sum total as .follows: Schools 29; Snperintendeuts 29; Teachers 197; Scholars 1,077; Total 1,903. Mission contributions $79.70; General expenses $183.30; Scripture verses committed to memory 18,384; Catechetical lessons recited 16,951. Friday night Rev. M. M. Kinard, of Columbia, S. C., delivered a very good address on "Training Childrenr," followed by Rev. H. F. Shealy, of Newberry, on; "Teachers Wprk," which contained sdme admirable points for the teachers. Saturday sessions morning and evening, were taken up by the discussion of twenty-nine questions which had been placed in the question box. It was the general sense Of the convention that the Lesson Helps should never be allowed to supersede the Catechism. That none but Lutheran teachers should teach in our schools, and that whenever practicable Lutheran literature should be used. That Sunday-schools must be un der the control of Pastor and Church Council. That Union Schools in connection with other denominations were detrimental, to the best interests of our schools. 8 p. ra. sermon by Rev. E. E. Barclay, John 1:42; subject "Leaders and Led." Sunday 10.30 a. tn. services were opened with the Church- Liturgical services followed by Rev. E. L. Lybraod's address on "Teaching the doctrines of our church in our schools." The speaker showed clearly and forcibly from reason and history that no- church can prosper which does not teach its doctrines to its children. It was<a practical address, well thought out and well delivered. He was?followed by Rev. L. E. Busby, whose address to the children was delivered/in his usual forcible tfrK ] J The closiDg address was by E. Barclay da "Sabbath Scnvoi... Quackery." } Sunday afternoon Hod. F. W. McVlaster, of Columbia, S. C., delivered \ most touching and pathetic acftiress on "The SuDday-school and the Home." His beaatiful descriptions ind illustrations, the lender pathos of the distinguished speakers voice, Irew tears from the eyes of all, and it was a fitting close t-o one of the most practical, hardest working conventions we have ever attended.

CLOSING HOURS OF THE IISTI7UTE. Last night the Coart-hoise was literally packed to hear the aldress of Governor Richardson. Of coursp public expectation ran high,nor was it disappointed. Immedialy after the able speech of the Go vet) or, Maj. Meetze stated that the conity instiL ? ^ ~ Z L~. M MM J n r\ TT7 cum littu uuue iwj wum auu uao about to close, and l?e thought it but just and proper that expression of opinion should be given to its work, and with a view to-have such expression, called Hon. S. P. "Wjngarnd to the chair and requested Mr. D. Fitzgerald to act as secretary. The meeting beiDg organized he submitted the following paper which was seconded, by Col. Barr in some appropriate rewarks, put to the meetiDg and unanimously adopted. The County Institute will very soon be a thing of the past, and time alone can tell the good which has been accomplished. If this however is to be determined by the Z8al, ability, kindness, patience and courtesy of Prof. Witherow and Miss Annie Bonham, then may the people thank the County Board establishing the Iostitn?e^^^V *-j_ mj ^BrQ' Was derelict in duty, if it didi^^H? upon record its endorsement i^^Vongest terms of its highest app^^Rion of the services rendered by ^Vi. Witherow and Miss Bonham,^Yd therefore upon the conclusion^* the exercises of the Institute thSBoard and people, in public meetifw assembled desire to give expression of their feelings in the following rotations: Resolved 1. That the most profound thaoks of the Board are due and are hereby tendered to Prof. Witherow and Miss Annie Bonham for the ability, zeal, patience and courtesy exhibited by them in the management of the Institute, that tbey part with them witbregret, but carry with them their best wishes for their happiness and success in life. 2.. By the people, that the County Beard in calling this Institute and in its management, have our warmest thanks; that it has effected even in a pecuniary point of view, more real good than the worth of the small amount of money expended in carry riog it on; while those higher and nobler qualities of our nature have been incalculably benefitted, and we also desire to join with the Board in our thanks to Prof. Witherow and Miss Annie Bonham for the benefits we have received from their instructions. 3. That we feel - greyly indebted and hereby give expression to it, to | His Excellency Qov. Richardson, Supt. of EducatioR^Rjge^Congressman Dibble, Drs.* Helclrix and Crosson and Professors jBueby and Baird for the intellectual treats we have had* in their lectures aud addresses. 4. That our thanks are due and hereby tendered Mr. N. W.
