The spirit of Reform is waring. up and spreading fromn centre to circumfer ence, and fromu every part of the State we have the most flattering accounts. Wherever our standard bearers show themselves a glorious ova.tion is made and thousands turn out to welcome and encourage them, and the colored people form a large per centage of these enthu siastic meetings. The tide is most as suredly turning and when it reaches its nood the work of Refo: m will be an ac compli.,hed fact. The people are work ing with a vim that was to be expected of them, and they show such determina tion to overcome all dillicuhies that th result cannot Ue otherwise than a sutccess at this honest refanm.

Bank's school at old Bethel Church-now the school house-near Pomaria, on Friday last, was the happiest affair of the sea son. About five or six hundred persons were present from Newberry, Lexington and Richland. Newberry town was largely represented, and handsoniely, and among the latter representatives one from the IHerald, who was unable to re sist the many pres?ing invitations; and it was well, for It was an enjoyable ceca sion, not only as :egardc' thc e ter',in rent furnished by the pupils, but the generous hospitality eli _ deI by the people of that regior. of country-during two nights :d days which we spent among 'Iem-and also for the very abun 'ant and excellently well prepared bar becued meats and other good things, of which there was enough and to spare. We never tasted meat better cooked, nor hash that suited the mouth so well. We know not who ruled the roast on this oc casion, but whoever they were they did well. But to go back, we left town on Thurs day afternoon in the down train, in coin pany with about a half coach load of matured matrons, beautiful maidens and tender infants, with clean faces, hair nice ly curled, and best bib and tucker on the infants-and not a man among them all, but the "ierald." "Phancy our phe links:" What if these charming crea tures had attempted to lay violent hands on us for several past funny locals and other derelictions, or had made us nurse all the babies at one time ! What ! We trembled, and did not recover a happy frame of mind until Pomaria came in view. All right then, we felt once more the hero, "this rock shall flec (?) from its frm ase as soon a.s we." They were charming, did not mean us harm, bless them, how could they ? ah, how. Well, we'finl friends and vchihles awaiting to convyv the p:aty to confurtable qiar trs; the li.>llo.vny's, Wedemant's, Sn b'r's.

Arriving, r. B. took us to the post of honor, an mpromptu stage, carpeted and hand ioely festaoned with wreaths and flow :rs, and over all the flowered motto, fan ifully made of bright hued and vari-col >red dahlias, "E location is Power" 'he nupails hal alrea:ly commrenced their nteresting work, and to g've anm idea of he extant anel variety of this part of thme ntertain:nent we insert the programm:: ntire, and we can only add that we ever saw more conmi-ent yet modest enditions of the many parts, am~I so per cty memorized by girls and boys be re.

The rair ceased however, apd dinner, which mi raculously b.d been protected agains the delur2, was served, and ample jus tice ione.

At night we learned that a large num, bet turned out, and the School hous< was made the scene of a succession o| pleasant little comedies, in which son of the pupils and the young ladies and gentlemen oft he neighborhood took parts We are told that this closing entertain ment was highly successful, and elicitel immense applause, and not until the up proach of the we3 small hours did these happy, joyous young people break up, and leave for their several homes, satis tied that they had had a perfectly deli cious time. If this hasty and imperfect sketch seems dull and prosy, the reader must blame Capt. B., for it was his particu lar request that we would not indulge in any fun, an I we have not. But we must say that ;ne Capt. is wrong, a little non" sennse now and then is reltshed by the best of men, and all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. We might have made a few happy points, hurtful to nc b;:dy, but the Capt. said nay, and we have obeyed. We'll make norash prom" iscs in future. The B,st Yet. George E.

We return him thanks for tihe very cool tokent of his es. teetm. .As the most of our readers know but little of the process, and perhaps do not know that there is such an establish ment in Columbia, we copy the fullowing description from the Ph<enix: "Thec ice miaThine was manufactured at H all e, G ermian , and was itmported by .r. Serg'er5 at ;an expenIse of about$7,000 n gold. The factory, mnachineLry, and appurtenances cost about $1 1,000t. It is ather drlilcult to describe the apparatus, ut w.e will endeavor to do so briefly. First is lte boiler, encased in brick, in which the ammionia is heated, and is thence conveyed, by pipe, through a colinig box, into the freezing tank. - Through this: tantk, the pipes contain in g the atmmonia pass, and the tin boxes, contaitninrg the water to be frozen, atre placedl between thtem. Thus it will be seen that the ammonia andl water do not c,mne in contact at all. The tin boxes in whichh the ira is tmade are about three feet long, e. en inches wide, arid three inches deep. The piece of ice when taken out will weigh about twenty pounds. The freezing tank will contain 126 of these h)oxes. Thus it will be seen that 2520) pounds of ice can be mnade at one per ation. which will occrupy about five hours. The capacity of the nmachiine is neair G(iO0 pounds per day.

Is t' N AWFrL Ms-rtK?-It seems that Governor Orr, of South Carolina, is likely to be repudiated by his old friends. The Anderson Intelligencer; the Keowee Courier, the A.bbeville Press and Banner, the Greenville Enterprise, the Laurens ville lerald, to say riothing of other journals more removed from the seat of Judge Orr's supposed strength, all repu diate his recent letter and its extraordi nary sentiments. 'The Columbia Phonix says: "The people that formerly stood by Judge Orr stand by him no longer. his political influence in the up-country is goue." Governor Orr appears to have inade an awful mistake in this business, so far as his personal popularity and frienlships are concerned, but how far it will affect his political interests remains to be seen.-New York l1e1 aId. Yes, a terrible mistake as he will ere long experience. We quite agree with the Phwrix that his political influence is gone, and would have given expres sion to our sentiments before but that we had long ago washed our hands of Judge Orr. His ways have not heen the ways of an honest man and a good citi zen for a Length of time. A Fearful Storm. A terrific and fatal storm of thunder, lightning and rain, by which a number of people were killed and wounded, and property destroyed. occurred at King. ston, N. Y., on the 26th ult. The pvro. technic display was grand and thrilling. The lightning visited the earth in blind ing sheets of flame, and the peals of thunder shook the earth apparently to its foundations. The wonder is that greater destruction did not ensue. The terrible storm spent its fury about a cir cus tent which was struck, and near which several lives were lost. A correspondent writing fron King ston, gives the folloring particulars: The attending circumstances were ofa truly thri!in; character. The sultry at mosphere during the day was very op. pressive, the niercury in the thermmne ter marking nrincty.two degress in the shade. The earth was dry and parched, and the air was filled with dense vei. umes of smoke from the burning woods in the mountains; which hung over the river 'lkc a p:ai, hiding the east shore from view. Fur several days, this state of altairs was observable, and all this time, arcording to the theory of learned electricians, the air was being heavily charged with electricity. At noon, the smoke, for the first time in a week, comnenced to lift, and, in its stead, lining the horizon at all points of the compass, could he seen dark, murky clouds and; huge thunder heads rolling togethcgardseeminglygatheringstrength for one grand display of power. As night drew nigh, fitful flashes of light ning gleamed athwart the sky, and the deep mutterings of thunder could be heard in the d;stance. and, when dark ness ensuWd, the heavenly pyrotechnic display was grand beyond description. For miles, the storm clouds hung over the river, arid the lightning flashed in cessan tly. Five wvere instantly killed by a single stroke-struck down with smiles anid jokes upon their lips. They were all colored preople. All we-re talking togethe~r. JThne Mon tanye was leauni g aginst th tree, wt her ar"': rel.l I.:-i aL "abers; sh elwith her arms folded, and they courld hardly he pried apart. Elizabeth Newkirk was lari;thing, and there was a smile upon her lips when ohe was pick ed up. Arthur Scott had one arm par tially raised, and after death it was hard work to straighten it. And thus they died. It is a noteworthy fact that thre bo lies of the dea.l bore no marks of violence w hateve''; not a particle of evidence is obs"rvable in their appearance to show that they died other than natural deaths. The flesis is nowhere burned, nor is tire harir se'orched, a fact which excites gene ral coimmnent. The eves of one of the deceased remnained wide open, present irng a ghrastly appearar-ce. As I close my letter, there are reports of more death-, hint thety are not creditcd. The lightning for two hourN was fear fully grand ini appearance. Jagged streaks and thashes of what is called "forked and chain lightning" leaped from cloud to clorud incessamnrly. D)own tire mountain sides, thrrough valleys ar'd across tire waters of tire Hudson, it horned its way, and old people faiiel to remembler a par. allel. Avarious points along thre river, dehrsand barns were destroyed by it. Near Poighkeepsie two harns were burned :near Fishkill anothrer ; at Fish kill L:rnrlinmg a dwelling was struck twice, but not consrumed ; at East Hiaverstraw a biarn fi!i-ed with hay was decstroyed; a n-I at .\ldre'n another bar-n was burned. Bteports of miore disasters ar-c expected, therefore the damage carnnot yet be esti mated. E-xE:.trPrioNs run.O ST.U.MP [IrTY AFTE-R Ocrmuut~r lst.-Acting Gormmuissioner Douglass has addlressed a letter to F. M. Patrick, Esq., stamrp agent at New York, stat in g that tire oily m rstrumenits sub ject to stamp dirty under schedu!e B, which are held exempt from tax after the first oif October next by the terms of tire Act of July 14, 1870, are "promissory notes for a less sum thtan $100, receipts for any sum of money or for tire payment of arny debt." Section four of thre Act alrdeid to also provide-s that "no stamp shall be required upon the transfer or asignrmnt of a mrortgage where it or tie irrstrutment it seem ecs has been onc duly stamped." Thre agent in his comn mfulicatio)n to the department states that many business men seem to think that the tax is repealed on all formrs, and the acting conmmissioner in his reply authorizes the publication of the de cision to set aside that erroneous im pression. Dra-rut Or CAr-r. A. S. GAILLARD.-It is our painful duty to announce to the public the death of our esteemed young citizen, Captain A. S.

"'Tis a quaint thought, and yet perchance SUMTER BITTERs ye are SpruDg From R~oots and Herbs that over Eden, once Their pristine fragrance flung." Sep. 7, 36-It. Five boxes of ammunmtion, weighing 1200 pounds, and supposed to contain 25,000 rounds, arrived at Chester last week, for distribution among the militia. The white men of Anderson and vicini tv have enrolled themselves as members o~f a nrihtia company, and mect on Satur lay last for the purpose of organization. The following are the officers elected : W. W~. Hurmphreys, captain ; .N. K. Sullivan first lieutenant.; S. M. Pegg, second lieutenant ; and Win. Lee, brevet second lieutenant. The services of this company will he tendered to the Gov rnn,-at an earle el-,. LOCAL. NEWDERRY CoUNTY UMxIoN RZrox SO cETY.-The County Society met on the 5th inst. 13 Societies were ably represented. The meeting was harmoniots. Newblirry is now a uiiit for Reforni. NEW GooDs.-1rs. Foot notifies her cus, tomers and the trade generally, that she is opening a Yery desirable stock of fall goods. KINSMANr & HOWELL.-We direct special attention to the card of this firm in another column. They are enterprising and reliable Charleston men, and always ready promptly and efficiently to serve their friends in the interior. Capt. Webb is out with his special order for the present season, and we call attention to it, and add that it is a bad wind which blows nobody good. The dreadful European war has enabled him to lay in a supply of goods at low prices and he will sell cheap ly. IIERE's oCR MLE.-One of the most laughable runaway's took place last week. The runaway was a mule, a heretofore quiet looking animal, the property of Beard, and which regularly conies to town weekly and sometimes oftener, and who always remains just where his owner leaves him without at temptiog to move. On this occasion he stood facing his w agon, and between the shafts to whicb he was farened, but be coming trightend, he started backwards for a r:;i being a sensible inole, however, he soon foun: the po ition un:tenablc and I turned, all the while get Lig up though. In the neauti:n . the :hafts which were hanging, would plough deeply into the ground, and occasionally meeting a tough spot, my mule was forced to stop, but only for a moment however, for buckling down to it off he would go again. Finally fancy ing something wrong he turned round once more to face the music, and found that he was only making a laughing stock of him self, and that even his master seemed per fectly indifferent as to whether he broke the wagon or hi? ne k, and then like the senible mule that lie used to be he subsided and looking toward lieard with a "raw-he," scciicd to say master here's your mule. Nobody was hurt, except. Squire Peterson who burst his suspenier buttons off. TuE NMw 'tAL.-Ou Wednesday last ground was broken;at the corner occupied by the Messrs. Chick, and a beginning made on the new pacement, to extend from that point to the depot. The work so far ac coruplished looks a little rough, we wont say poitively that it is so however, for to a man up a tree such an assertion might ap pear incongruous. This pavement is form ed of granite slabs and chunks, of various sizes and shapes, necessarily so because the contrary granite would not split in any re gular fashion or style, hence it was taken as it came from the parent block, and if there is a roughness, its the fault of the granite. That point is settled. Taking it for granted then that the walk so far is rou;gh, how can a sensible man expect under the circumi stances that it could be otherwise. W~e in dulge the hope, no matter how forlorn, that when completed it will look better, and im proe wth ge.The contractors have a lieve they will cantinne as they have begn and get the boulders down, and we htereby and at once give them aill the credit they deserve, that they may be stimulated to ex tra exertion. We beg too, that if anly one thinks the~ work objcctionable, that he will hold his peace, ard not hazird an opinion in presetnce of the workmen. "By St. Paul let the work go bravely on." }'urthter we would have nothing to say on the subject, except to repeat that our devil, and lhe is ever putting his 'lip iin' without being asked, s.ys "the shoe buin~tess is going to be bully, and fellows with top loads will have uncomn mnt tdifficulties to get over, and the boys will have jolly tim'es taking the girls ougt to protmenade, provided they take the new cut road, for they will have to be pickinig of em ip every now and then," and nmuch more, but we wont repeat any more of what he said. We dont like meddling people, and in conclusion wil just remark, if Newberry wants her work of art, why let her have it. Like the Egyptian Pyramids, which to-day perplex the mind, and excite curiosity, so I perhaps this pavement, ages hence, will puza- 1 ze the public mind, as to how came thetm there, those rectangular, triatngular, quad rangular atnd atigular blocks.all itt a row. Was as it a freak of natutre,or a freak of imaigina ton. Ah, who can tell what will be to pay, w'en after digging down th rough the dutt andl mud of ages, these b!ocks are discovered by those people yet to be born. How much printers' ink will lie used up,and how delight edl the local of the then existing paper will be with such atn item. We would like to he there then. But for spoiling future fun, we would suggest the haying of a corner stone with the necessary data uderneath. But no, let her rip. Mrs. Stanton decides that courting should be left entirely to women. She says: "I Ca ndidly believe that natture intended man for the rough work of life; to dig into philosophy, polities, parallel ogramns and potatoes, and humtbly to wait in his nmaterial sphere utntil selected y the queens of the hearthstone." Mrs. S. 'thmtks men are too "vacillating~ and awkward" in their loi-e.making. A very sad scene was witnessed a few days since at Woodbridge, Connecticut, during the progress through the prin cipal thoroughfare of a hearse containing the remains of two young people, man and wife, natmed Stmith, who had died two days previously, within the same hour, of typhoid fever. The husband hal watched by the bed.-ide of his wife until his strength gave way, and he fell under the disease. Among all the wo men who looked upon the mournful pro cession as it passed along there was not one who was not moved to tears. DEATUS IN BARN wELL.-We learn from the Barnwell Journal, of the 31st ult., that Mr. Wmn. Allen, a gentleman living four or five miiles from the village, died on Sunday last, after a painful illness; also of the death of Mr. J. M.
