As we glance thro-agh this beautiful col lection, we find by far the greater por tion new to us, and from which we se lect at random the heads of the -follnw ing pieces, the musical rhythm of many of which is touching : "Abide with us," recitation and song. The recitation to I be read by the superintendent or recited by the scholars-singly or as a class, and the song sung by all. "Shepherd of Tender Youth." (The oldest Christian hymn.) In Paed, Liber III, of Clement of Alexandria, is given, in Greek, the most ancient hymn of the Primitive Church. It is there (150 years after the Apostles,) asserted to be of much earlier 1 origmn.

Sani Dickerson, colored, known to1 fame as a major in the State militia, has recently got himself into tro'uble, and v now lies in the Toombs of New York, on chargo of theft. First he got into bad company, that of carpet-baigger Wil!ard A. Ilussey, from M.isachusetts, withr *whom he crossed the pond from Char leston to New York. Sam's intention was to have delirered a course of lec tures to his colored brethren North, but s having relieved llossey of his carpet- t. hag contamning valuables, his present I hope is a deliverance from prison, when be will no doubt return to a more con genial latitude. 'rho New York Sun gives an amusing description of their ar rival at Gotham, and how both gentle-r men brought up standing at a har-room, e and being joi'e-d by an Eaglishmnan, t called for drin-ks, IIussey first asking the C bar-keeper if hi.s color-ca Fervant would : be permitted to take one. F.:irision granted, Sam called for S. O. P. B:undy', Hlussey for gin and umliasses, and the Englishman for '-alf and 'aif. It wais a sweet trio, and they continued to drink, until the gin and maolasses took effect on s . the carpet-bagger, and returning to where he had left his valuable bag; Mr. IIussey,t overcome by the vite mixture, fell asleep. Ta the meantime his carpet-b::g was car iied oir andl Sam findts himself in limbo aceused of the theft. In justice to Sam: we state that he secrns the foul accusa tion, and pleads innocec:e.

DE.R IERALD --In the last number of "Talks to the Litt!e Folks" you made us say in the concluding line, "his first young sup per," when it should have been "his first gory supper."

They keep a live store, or rather stores, for they run two of them - Everything in the family grocery line is to be found in the lower estahli-hment, anddry goods and fancy articles in the upper.

Smith, Commissioner of Free Schools, to make no tice, that the pub!ic schools in this County will close on the first of June, and not open until the first of September, and all teachers expecting to derive :ny benefit from the fund appropriate1 for school purposes, are re quired to make repor:s (monthly) according to law.

His old friends and fcl!ow-cit:zens of Newberry are alwoys glad to see him. AsSAULT AND ARREST.-A negro man named Edward Stewart was arrested on Sun day last, under wqrrant for an assault, com, mitted on the premises of Mr. Henry Epting, and being brought to town was committed to jail. It was stated by some of the party that (lie negro had made some improperover tures to a young lady, and on being ordered off drew his pistol and made the assault for which he was arrested. We do not vouch for the correctncss of this statement however. FiTs.-If you want a fir, and an elegant one, and made of fie best material.<, go to Wright & Coppock's.

FuNv AHEAD.--It affords us great pleaure to announce to the citizens of Newberry, that the Star Ethiopian Troupe will give an entertainment in the new hall on Thursdav night, the 25th of M::y. We can confidently promise something good from this troupe of native artists, as we happen to know tht it is made up of the happiest combination of musical merit and comicality of character. We simply make the announcement now of the promised entertainment, and in next is sue will allude more particularly to this Star Troupe. $HANK'S MXAnE LtNz.-A pleasant and rapid trip, we are pleased to inform our nu merous readers, may now be made during the season at a modera'c outlay of money, and one which can be made profitable be side.

P,ANK OuGANIZATIoN. -On Satturday last, a natio)nal b)ank, tunder the title of the Na tional Bank of Newvherry, with a capital stock paid in of fifty thousand dollars, was organ=zed in this tovn; and the ertitheates of stock forwaruled to Washington. An elec lion for officers will take place on the 17th inst., and the bank will go into opueration abiotit the first of.ily. The business men of our town htave long felt the needl of hank facilities, and that now we are to have the advantages aind privileges of so necessary an institution, all will be ghaid to know. To Col. Palmer, of Cotumbia, who was so large hy instrumental in its inception and org;an ization, our citizans feel greely in-lebted. THE WEATHtEn on Saturd:ay last was col, disagreetible and gloomye, making overcoats anid fitres very essential to comfort, and on Suxnday morning there was a perceptible frost.

P'Anton ENTERTAXNtNT.-St. Matur again entertainted a delighted and large audienice on Monday night, in the elegant new Hall of Messrs Mayes & Martin, and gave a highly pleasing programme. A.s a ventriloquist, St. Maur is as good as the best, and master Nip on this occasion was exceedingly fe licitous. The entire role of this accomplished performer and scientist, Is marked by pecu liar excelletnce and abounds in happy wit and humor. M:tster Nip, v:e noticed was so full of D)r. F.mt's celebrated L.iver Regulator, that its praises gushed O-tt on every "atppro priate" occasion, and we have no dloubt the D)oclor will appreciate te compliment by preseting Nip with a few bottles. St. Maur goes from here to Union, Spartanburg and other towns in the up country, and] we com mend him to the people wherever he goes. SntoT AND Ktr,tED.-Some little excite ment was created on Ftiday last in the neigh. borhood of the jail, by the escaping from custody of a negro calling himself Aheck Hlerndon, who was about being placed in confinement, charged with rape on the per son of a negro girl, thirteen years of age, the daughter of Aif. Wilson, living at Helena. iIe was at once pursued by the marshal< and constables, and several shots were fired at him as lie fled, one of witich struck him in the head and killed him. The offence charged, and of which lie had been tried before jus tie Long (colored) and found guilty, was committed under aggravating eircumstances, he having threatened the girl both with knife, drawing it across her throat twice, and with pistol, if she dared to resist. It is said by those who knew this man that lie had been guilty of a similar offence in Union, from which County lie came, and that his name waq 5anchiimo Brannon, ar,d that his charmeter was notoriously bad.
