The tahos Jerael gives the fIo '
account of a bdiit"trg ceomi
by negroes Is Gergia:
It appears that e Thuradey lest, two
respectable Young girls residi near
station 14, upo te Central a were
on their way home A'om school, when
they were overtaken by two stout ne
groes, who iesmetely seied them, and
despite their sres for aid, committed
a diabolical este. Having effected
their brutal deed olhece, one of the
negroes, who bd but one arm shook the
outilatedstemp of Ie ether in the %ei
of the eldest of the two girls, and ex
claimed "f emt irpeene and I'm

No Tancnu LcEs A Morss.-Sad, in
deed is the picture, gloomy the prospect,
where the sweet bonds between- parent
and, oipring are rudely snapped by
death, passion, or the force of circum
stances. MIelancholy and often perilous,
indeed, is that condition of the child,
when the mother is untimely called to
her account, ere the bloom of early in
fancy has passed fi om her darling's
cheek. Yet more deplorable, when a
parent's faults and evil habits, ill-judged
severity or culpable indulgence, have cor
rupted the understanding. and alienated
the heart of their offspring. How de
lightful is it in our after days of honor
and successful maturity, to look back on
the sunny hours of infancy ; to recall a
mother's earnest gaze of utterable fond
ness; a father's caress of tenderness and
love ; to dwell by memory's aid on their
mutual joy at our progress in strength
and knowledge ;-the result of their
united ' instructions and entreaties-on
the -boty precepts that from their lips
were caught, and the eternal truths they
impresied upon our remembrance ; and
to feel that, whatever we may possess of
life's best gifs, we mainly owe, next tb
the Giver of all, to their devoted care.

Wagner, a young man living at Charles
town, West Virginia, died a few days ago
under singular circumstances. He pro
fesed to hve the power of charming
sakes, and having captured a rattle
snake he was giving some friends an ex
hibition of this power. After fondling
thenake for a time -in his arms, he
threw it on the .ground and switched it
until it writhed with rage. He then
took the reptile up in his arms again,
andaying, "Are you mad ? kisme and
make up;" he put its head in his mouth.
The snake bit his tongue, and he died in
about an hour afterward. In fiteen min
utes after being bitten his skin assumed
the spotted color of the snake.
Sx0GrLAR FREAK OF NATRLs-The
Charleston Courier is informed by a cor
respondent that in the upper part of the
State there lives a young ex-Ccnfederate
soldier, whose leg was amputated during
the war, near the thigh. - After amputa
tion the around rapidly healed, and he
was sent home. A bout a year after a
fleshy protuberance was seen to groer
out of the flesh, which, in the course of
a few months, took the shape of a foot,
and since that time it has been growing
finely, until now the man has a perfectly
new foot and leg growing from the thigh,
which, in a year or so, promises to sup
ply the loss of his leg in the first instance.

Is not much of a curiosity, nor or extrao*e

Talking of that cow brings to mind eur
friend JTones' mare which died on her way to
the spring last Friday. night. She was a
beatiful animal and good rkder, and all
Newberrians here sympathime not only
with her owner, but with Sheriff Paysins
get, who rode her on that occasion. It wes
an un)adky colic, aerruel colic, which ended
the grni mare's life, superinduced by too
heavy a feed administered before leaving
home. Had she been en the. homeward trip
there would have been no danger of acoUc;
hosesdo not die outside of Newberry of
that complaint. We might account forn this
as the effect of the virtues of the mineral
waters which prevail and which act as a preo
entive, and not as some persons might
thnk,:ss owing so a scarcity of corn and
fodder.- We will not stop to argue tha point.
