49TrBW'RRy, b. ( de(doSiaji, dpzembeP ,, I5 Death of Rev. T. S. Boinest. With deep pain we announce the death of this estimable gentlenan and miniz ter, which melancholy event took place at his residence in Poinaria, on Monday morning last, about 3 o'clock, after a paiaful and very protracted illness of about six weeks' duration. His disease or rather diseases, were typhoid fever and diptheria. Mr. Boinest was about 45 years of age, some twenty of which were spent acceptably in his Master's service in the Churches in and around Ponaria, and to which people his loss will be severely felt. As a citizen he identified himself with all the various in terosts of the people, in agriculture, me chanics, and science as well ; and at the time of his death held the position of President of the Newberry Agricultural Society. His death will be felt far ard near and may indeed be called a pub.!c calamity. Mr. Julius W. Wright, of the Char lotte Observer, has undertaken the HIer cule%- task of proving that the Demo crats are better friends to the colorcd race than the Republicans. Very well said by somebody who has a level head, and no mistake. Convince a man against his will and he's of the otme opinion still-a stubborn white man-and how much more difficult the! task to touch the reason of the darkie. Mr. Julius Wright might as well let the negro alone until the carpet-baggers clear the track. Just now, indeed, the task will prove herculean. CIKARLrsTO, S. C., Au-. 2,, 1S71. Messrs. T. F. & f. 11. Gre,eker. Newberry, S. C., Daar Sirs:-Please oblige the I. C. bV let ing us know if you have an A.ricultural Society in your Conuty, and if so who are its officers and what are its time4 of meetine. if it has a fair we would like to be also ad vised as to the time. Your attention will ohlige Yoars truly, WALKERt, EVANS & COGSW ELI. We regret that we cannot answer the above affirmatively. Newberry has no Agricultural Society, or at least none in active existence. Richland, Barnwell, Abbeville and other Counties have their flourishing societies, and why not ,.gcwberry? We have called attention to this important matter before, and now feel ashamed that we must acknowledge toat our couay with all its wealth and intelligence is without an Agricultural Rewberr College. Iegetcise of this Institution, lo et a W-apa, S. C., will.be resumed tiefrst Thursday of September, (Sept. 7.) We ar. glad to learn that the Col lege is growing in eSciency and favor. Two additional teachers have been added by the Boar-d of Trustees at its last meet ing. The number of students expected will be greater than any previous year. Tbi-; we may expect. An efficient corps of Professors, a course of instruction equal to any College, board at $12 per ruonth, a healthy locality, and Sive years' ation for $100, will no do doubt induce those who wiah to give their sons a col legiate education to send to Newberry College. The President, Rev. J. P. Smneltzer, will gladly give any particular information desired. We heartily re co-nmend Newberry Gollege to all whoI dettire to educate their sons. A,farrow Gauge between Laurens and N?ew berry Newberry, by virtue of its location an eligible, commercial centre for large portions of several wealthy counties-is destint to become an extensive and tleurishing community. Hecr merchants are active, tireless, prompt and liberal, and what should prevent her in the near future from becoming a liber-al wholesale mart, when the Blue Ridge and a line to Chester must give her large facilities? ? The suggestion of Col. Low that branch lines for minum traffic, on the narrow gauge plan which cost but two' thirds the amount of crdinary construc tions, with three-fourths the running ex pense, might be properly heeded in giv ing communities the advantages of rail road communication. Every comm unity his "people to travel, produce to trans port ind resources to develop," and where they cannot incur the expense of first classi lines, they might very profitIa bly build the narrde gauge. Might not thle .road between Laurens and Newlberry be profitably converted into a narrow gauge ? Laws of Business. We have received from Mr. W. IH. Dickert, agent for its sale in this Coun ty, a copy of the above work by Prof. Parsons. WYe have not time this morning to rxamine the contents of the volume, but judging from the reputation of its dis tinguished author, this epitome of "laws for all the States, with forms and directions" many well be considered an authoritative "wor k which should find a place~ on the desk of every merchant, and .n the library of every lawyer." It contains, says the llartfor-d Times, ~he legal forms for all transactions re ui,-ing certain forms to make themt -iinding. There are so many kinds of business that require legally executed papers, that every family is interested :-1 such a book as this. Life insurance, *neds, contracts, bankruptcy, rights of "arried women, wills, notes, interest, -ns, mortgages, apprentices, minors, 'jnerships, the stamp act, &c , <>ften ten require a knowledge of legal formns which this book furnishes, wtith many ether things." Professor Parsons has the confidence of lawyers and judges, and they use his works and rely upon them.

Not a mail but brings some harrowing account of loss of life and destruction of property, either by colliding of trains of cars, the bursting of sten-nboat boilers, sinking of ships at sea by collision, the wrecking of others by storms, frightful tornadoes on land, falls of tremendous hail stones, earthquakes, &c. Not a sin gle day passes but from one to a dozen horrors fill the news columns of the daily press. We sum up one diy's items as follows: At St. Th>mag, Wt st Indie-, a terrific hurricane occu? red on the 22d An-gust. It blew from every point of tire compasg, an earthquake adding to the horrors of the night. Hundreds of houses swept away and not one on the entire Islard undamaged, leaving six thousand people homeless. One hundred and fifty per sons were killed. The Island of St. Kitts is said to be also in ruins. A tornado passed over Labette Co., Kansas, on Sunday night, demolishing some and moving other houses, and two persons killed. On the 25th of Awgst, the Cunard ste:aer Java ran into ant over the Nor wegian bark Annita, by which el-ven persons went down to rise no more. We omit the murders, rapes, l'nich ings, petroleum accidents, fires, etc., etc., which would swell this one day's list into fearful praportions. The late b:>iler explosions, the one at New York, and the other at Mobile, and great loss of life!, our readers have been made ac qiainted with, and we only allude to them on account of their peculiarly hor rible character, and, too, that each Cc carred on the Sabbath. Both were tx cursion parties' Is there veed of saying more on this point? That the world is not growing better is evident, and crime of every descrip tion is daily becoming more rampant in the land, and retribution as surely fol lows. Charlestoa. We are rejoiced to learn that the yel low fever has not assumed an epidemic form, but on the contrary is abating. This is truly good news, for Charleston is South Carolina's " City by the Sea!" arid in her prosperity the mountains and the mxidland should r'-joice, and when she stands in shadows, we should stand there too. In unity there is sym pathy everywhere among true maen, and no local prejudices restrain the tributes of true senrtimnrt. Charleston, in her integrity-true Charleston--loves to ex tend her sympathy and unobtrusive hos-. pitality to the State's remxotest bounds, and we are sartisfied that thre brave and generous citizens everywhere symapa hize deeply n ith her.

Now, the rmrcharts of tho State outside the city can do a lasting favor to Charleston in her extremit. t is this. The city is, without doubt, fu!l of goods.

Not Quite So. The Christian Neighbor and Col. A iken have been indulging in a few passes late y in reference to lotteries and schemes. ut with that we have nothing to do, or ather will say nothing about. Bu t this. n Col. Aiken's letter to the Neighbor ccurs this passage-speaking of the S. . Agricultural a:nd Mechanical Associa "eare ignored biy thre farmers, nre c:aics and citizens gen erally of the tate. Neither has the press of the State, save the Phonix alone, ever ex ended to us the hand of encouragement. ever harve I seen elsewhere a single ditor ial approving our efforts at devei ping the industurial resources of our own-trodden State. But 1 have seeni c:orbitant c-harges made for single inrser ionsof the Society's notices: yeCs, charges our times as heavv foir thre same irnser tion as you were pleased to make in the bristian Neighbor." it is a small nmatter indeed that our ittle efforts are ignored, but as one of he Press, we beg to state that besides he Phonix, other papers have extended menouragement, arnd that editorial no tiers have appeared time and again, ap roving the efi'>rts at developing the in utrial resources of our down.trodde~n State, and in one case copies have been ent to Col. Aiken. Further, one other have inserted the Society's notices with out makirg any charge nt all ; this we su-powe Was either not known or over ket-, as no acknowledzu,:"t was evr( made of it, and we would just call attern tion to it, that if there is %iy glory in the matter our big cotemporary the Phu iiix shoul-I not have it all. We are wil ling for it to have a lion's share, and only ask that the little Herald have a crumb. We have a just appreciation of Gol. Aiken's efforts and his labois, and accord him credit, and we only ask him frni hi: high standpoint to look down once in a while with a friendly smile on the litt!< ones who cannot make fuss enough te drl, publie attention to their merits One word mo-e, perhaps the silencc on the part of the Press so conplained of, nay be the fault of the Society itself. We notice th-t the fairs of all otir sister States are editorialize(I from the seaboard to the mountains, and this may be ac. connted for in the fact that cards of in. vitation are sent to every editor in thc State to attend and participate, and ii many nstances with free passes. There are more things in Heaven and earth, than are dreamt of in some people's phil osophyr. and it may be that a little more generosity or kindliness of feeling mighl serve a better purpose.

In common with his race he enjoyed the riyhts of freedom, but did not prostitute them, so far as we know, for he was always quiet, civil and po lite upon the streets, and faithful and efficient in the discharge of his duties. He was al ways at his post, except when sick, and in his death we feel that we have lost a faithful worMer. The last Issue of this paper was printed by Jake; lie has nade his las: "im pression'-hi.

A I.OvE PASsisG ALL OTHER LOVES.-ThC love f inusic is proverbial with the darkie: it cones as natural to him as sleep. We saw one tie other night with an old )orrowed fiddle, that lie had been sawing on for days and nights, in the vain hope of extracting a tune from it. Every spare moment that f could be devoted to this, to him, delightful end, was spent in sawing on the strings, which were showing signs of frzelling out. He had almost struck ile, or rather, a tune, when the owner seti word that "dat fiddle must come home in de moruin'." It was too bad; he had just reached a point; was almost at the food which was to lead to for tune. What did he do? Well, he squared himself-this was about sundown-and com nienced sawing again, and sawed straight thronl till the sun rose next morning, and it is a satisfaction to say, that lie came very near playing something. If the fiddle only had been in tune, he miglit have suc ceeded. Greater love no darkie ever had for t a fiddle than this, and the party who fur, nishes him one of his own will get his vote, F.DTos lInAL-G.N-TLEMEN: Avery exciting gane of Base Ball was Dlayed on the grounds of the "White Stocking Club" this morning by two "Nines" of the above mentioned Club.

An old lady being asked to subscribe for a newspaper, declinted on tae cround that when she wanted news she manufactured it itself.

Mr. Hamest has been offered thousands of dollars for that mule, but will not part with it-his chance to marry a second time being probable. The way to quarrel with a wife is to wait until she is at her toilet preparatory to going out. She will be sure to ask you if her bonnet is straight. Remark that the lives of nine tenths of the women are passed in thinking whether their bonnets are straight, and wind up with the remark that you never knew but one woman who bad common sense about her. Wife will ask von who that was. You will, with a sigh, reply: "Ah! never minI." Wife will ask you why you did not marry her. You say, abstractedly, "Alt! why, in deed?"
