This distinguished gentleman died in Charleston, last week, after a painful and protracted illness. Mr. Furman was a financier of acknowledged ability, and a gentleman of large political influence before the war. He was an eminent and honored member of the Masonic Frater nity, and was Past Grand Master of the Smate of South Carolina, Past Deputy Grand High Priest of South Carolina, and Past lieu tenant-General of the Su preme Council, thirty. third degree, for the Southern Jurisdiction of the United States.

At 12 o'clock p. m.,~ at the Exchange Salesiroom, No. 111Broadway. (By order H1. H. Kimpion, Esq.) All the right, title, interest and estate which Joseph Crews ad-on the 20th of May, 1870,- being one twelfth of .the stock of :the: Greenville and Columbia Railroad Company (South Carolina), then owned and held by the Greenville and Colambia:Railroad partnership, said stock being about 50,000 shares. Terms cash. Bethme Mr. Duane Mower. In thedemise lf this gentleman,which occurred at Goldsboro, N. C., on the 2nd inst., Newberry has sustained the loss of one of herost prominent, ener getic and successful merchants, and bus iness men. Mr. Mower was born in Greene,Maine, Nov., ,1821, ad removed to this Coun ty eighteep years ago,..the last five years of which time he was a resident of our town. By unremitti,g-labor and well-direce ed efforts, and strict observance of a good maxiai-"attendirng to one's own busi ness"-Mr. Mower was steadily advanc ing in pro.perity, and at his death, was possiblIy the largest real estate owner in our town. At the time of his death he was on his way North for a brief respite from the taxing cares of business, and though not in ill health was somewhat~ feeble. At Greensboro, it was deemed by the Arbiter of alH events, that the reaper death should garner him from the shocks of life. Mr. Mower'was a man of quiet and kind manners;.warm, yet undemnonstra tive. He had reached h:s fifty-first year. Calcs SpaNos, GRIEEVII.LE Co., g. C., July, 1879. DEAR READER.-YotIr siCk man once more essays'to make up a letter out of the material on hand. This is an out of' the way place, and only on high days aind holidays can-any one be seen pass-, ing the publictroad, and sometimes even on those occasionas there is no traveL. A s an instance, ;Monday last was Sale da~y at Greenville C. H., and from early morn till dewy eve not a single human binag passed our shanty-except g.ing to and returning from their day's: labor in the field, nd one other indiviid ual driving u.s the neighborin~g cows. The denizen of the cro~wded, bustling city, who sighs for some vast wilderness anid boundless contiguity of shade, need but come here to be satisfied. The LURWY 0? REsT AND QIEr can here he indulged in, and undier some: wide spreading chesnut-which abound here-or branching oak, lulled by rip pling waters and fanned by mountain bseess, the long summer days can be dreamned -away, between the. three or four important events of our daily life, which are breaidast, din,ner, supper and the mineral bath-our friend S. is just now taking is plunge, 'and judding by the shout which escaped him; the plunge must have been sHooKIo-we take curs directly, and c.an better afterwards re port whether it be cold or. not. Antd while mentioning these important daily events, we-remember how many of our friends delight in twitting us on our love for fried chicken, and no doubt they are still under the delusion 'that TILAr CRIcK n: LofE even now passeth the biunds of reason, and we therefore take this occa sion to correct such an erroneous and damaging error. We have eschewed fried chicken entirely, and live on mush, nye mush, anid brown bTest--we trust this will prore -satisfactory. Yesterday was AN EPIsoDi in our tranquil existene-a pacing steer ridden by a colored boyj passed the cab in. All banul turned out to see the sight. Thea a couple of charwing la es froB the city clanebEydroe na wih b and crisp as baker's rolls, the emptying of which corsumed a considerable time. Then we were refreshed with Mtfine shower of rain, accompanied with aittle hail and a good deal of odtBoth,were acceptable, the latter e~. y to; th, anxious farmer who savt;isa-s of_iddi. tional bushels of cop sd gore1tton in it. To-day we l6v all subsided into the old channels, for although the ladies are still here to cheer and gladden with their presence, yet the interesting chap te"-o msg-been-told-and -cant-b, repeated. We alluded in the first com. to t'w fact tha this is THE PLACE FOR BAcELORS to get maed, and-reitiiitithere. Out advice therefore is to all inclined to mat rimony to pack up their trunks and starl forth ith fur "Chicks"--let them comi and try ther fortunes and no longes despair. "Faint heart ne'er won fait lady" yet, and there is nothing like ma king an effort where the chances are s< many for winning a prize. Come one come all, and if a wife is not to be ha by all, fur of course some mu.t be disap pointed, it is the most convenient coun try to drown ones self in ever seen, wa ter courses being abundant and most r2 mantically situated. We did take iTHE PLUNGE after S., and if any one is skeptical as tt the temperature of the water let him oj her come here and try it, this is all w< ask. The sight is enougb to ireeze th( blood and make ones hair stand on end like quills on the fretful porcupine. It! fearful to look into the pool, while yoL are in naturalibus, and the longer yot look, the colder seems to grow the wa tor, but you cannot gaze at it always and at last the plunge is made, yoc souse under head and ears, and the quid coursing blood rusbes through the sys tem as if propelK:d by. galvanism. Liki a cork you bounce up in a second's tim -once more down -and under you go (a third dip is a- trifle more than on( cares for,) and then with a most deli cious glow, commencir.g from the very toes, and creeping, creeping, up, and uf until the whole body feels like it is jusi turned out from nature's mold. It i 'good-and every bath is better than th< one preceding, and the regret is that tht time must necessarily be so long betweer and before another can be indulged in. ANoTER TROUB.E is that it makes one long for mush time. This water in ye olden time, just aftei its discovery, was known as the Healing water, and we think the name not only significant but proper. One of thesc days, and that ere long, for the Iror Horse will soon run close by, some shari fellow with capital will see the advan tages pres.ented here and make a famous place of it once more-provided he eari get possession. It should be done by all means. This being INDEPENDENCE DAY. noffurther excuse need be made for re lating the following anecdote about a dis tinguished South Carolina unfortunate Judge --. It is well known that the Judge has a great love for strong-water, and indulges in his congress sometimes to excess. On one occasion, and early in the morning he strolled out to hia cattle pen, he had a heavy load of con gress on board. In the yard was a fock of sheep, and among them a sturdy d raw, who seemed to take the dudgea visit as an intrusion, and whao conse quently bent his neck and presented his head and horns in signal of displeasure. The Judge saw the offer-he never re fuses a good offer-and went for thei ram. It is needless to say it was not s successful as his Philadelphia speech with the radical extremiats. This time he was Boored by his grand and lofty tumbling. We have heard say, it would have been a good thing if the old ram had made a centre hit and finished the job. Much mortification might have been saved. Our patients here are doing pretty well, sowly improving and each has a biggem appetite than Dr. Gunn approves of, al though we are pleased to say that each~ one carefully avoids anything like ex ess. The country is beginning to ex perience good rain seasons, a'nd corn and :ottonis sh ..ooting righ:t aheiad. Chrick ens are scarce-snd we are ns inadepen. ent thecrefur as a Phailadelphia Wood. ~ayer-mnush and gruel are the fortes ere. On such weak diet-a stronger r longer letter shouid not be expected. Capt:ain Judkins, for may years ~ommodore of the Gunard line of steam rs, had a certain way occasional!v of xpressing himself in reply 'to what he leemecd pointless questions from passen es. In fact, a dove-like sweetness of nanner was not the commodore's best roint. On one of his latest voyages, he ind among the passengers Bishop. Little ohn and wife, of Long Island. Mrs. ittlejohn, one day, being- near the :onmodore, asked him if itwas not going o rain. "Ask the cook," was his bluff eply. "I beg pardon," said Mrs. Little. ohn, "am I not speaking to the cook?" listory has not informed u-s as to the recise phraseology of his response. That misquotation from Hamlet that s just now going the rounds of the Grant rgans;, runs thus: "A tanner will last ou eight years." They all' persist in verlooking the immediate context, which is curiously suggestive in its Lng Branch bearings. Haanlet's niext ustion is, "Why he more thana anoth e't" And the grave-digger makes ans rer: "Why, sir, his haide is so tanned rith his trade that he will keep out wa er a good while." Mra, Mary Jane L Bishop, a wealthy ridow lady, about fifty years of age, ied suddenly in New York, on the 26$th. Ifrs. Bishop had long been of very in eperate habits, and it appeared in ~vidence that she drank a gallon of bran-. y every week, besides indulging exten ively in champagne and other liquors. Many papers thhfk- it would be well to. ske ao formal democratic nomination or dorsement of Mrj. WGeeat -Baltimore Ta Ao-a nakh one hism .12ablin wao!I from a trip to Walhalla, where we had been enjoying the festivities of commence mert week at Newberry Cofee;. and,as many of yotr readers would, no doubrj:-like to know something about the -College, we . ~ ropose giving you an aeeouiof 'the ezer-f _413 2MUt4 - .ie= cises.. We arrived there on Monday ivening the N 24th of Jun%g Having. foundour home.ft the-week,'*eproceeded to the -0erman~ Lu- I theran Church to hear the address before the Alumni, by our old class-mate Mr. D.. B. Busby. The manner in which he handled! his subject showtd us how diligently he has studied the art of teaci-ingi and enabled- us to account for the marked success which has always attendcd hh, efforts in this profession. On Tuesday evening we were entirtained by Mr. S. P. Hughes, of the junior class, who gave-us quite an eloquentaddress. On Wed. ni;sday morning we were addre.sed by your: townsman (. L. Schumpert, Esq. His ad dress was cle-nt and chaste in its com:,o sition, an-d was delivered in a manner whir-h did credit to himuelf and to the Society which had chosen him for their orator, and to which he, in former years belonged. In the evening the "glorious but bloodless war of the Roses" came off between the Ex. celsior, and Phrenokosmian Societies. Each champiun, as he took the field, seemed to feel his important trust, and entered the con test with a will to exert every energy to main tain the honor of their respective Societies. The result showed that they had labored hard to prepare their weapons in the best possible manner, and that they were by no means Un accustomed to their use. On Thursday morning came ilie closing exercises, which consisted of addresses from Messrs. S. S. Rahn and E. A. Wingard, on whom the faculty conferred the degree of A. B. they having fnishod their collegiate course. It was all that could be expected, and the Church looks forward to the time when the hopes, which their SUCCss on this occasion warrants her to entertain, may be realized. The faculty also conferred the degree of A. M. on Mr. J. E. Houseal who graduated at the Institution a few years ago. The College is more prosperous now than at ay time since the war. Through the in defatigable energy of her President, and the self-denial of her Professors, she is still liv ing and bids fair to be a complete success. We earnestly hope that all her friends will do their duty to her and they may be assured of her complete establishment. There is something elsc, Messrs Editors, which although not immediately connected with the College, has its in.,aence on the students at the institution, as well as on the whole community. I refer to a flourishing division of the Sons of Temperance. It has already done much good, and is cAlculated to do much more. We wereglad to see quite a number of the students In it. We trust we have not failed to interest the friends of the institution of which we write, and hope that they may be induced'to aid in completing theendowmect which the Church is trying to raise for it. PHl. Blease's I Roads, Edgefield County. S. C. July 8th, 1872. Massas. EwToRs:-Is your last issue, I gave a correct statement of the outrages com mit ted on the 23d J.nne last by. one James Maloney Asa't U. S. Marshal, and his ac complices. You say that you heard that Mr. D. Mi. Ward did not shoot, and that you ret gret that I did not state more fully how Mr. Barre was shot. I stated that no person in my house was armed, to have added that Mr. Ward did not shoot would have been super fluous, an unarmed man cannot shoot. Mr. Barre whom you know to be a gentleman of high character, modest, and exceedingly kind to all. both white and black, was shot by one of Maloney's "niggers" without any warning whatever as from an officer, no or der to halt was given. All that was heard was to "shoot any damned rascal that comes Iout of the house.'' Barre was shot near the door-steps by a "nigger" at one corner of the house, one at another corner shooting at Ward. Maloney himself acknowledged the wrong, and apologized for It to Mr. Barre. Mr. Perry only stopped at my house for the night, on his way between his home and a Trial Justiee Court, where he had been sum moned as a witness. It was so dark in the piazza where we were sitting that "mzw COULD NOT EsPY EACE! OTHER," and when Maloney came in and asked who is that, Mr. Perry said me, Tolivcr Perry. . Maloney said, I have a warrant for you. Perry said, if you have,!I am ready to go with you. Perry had no arms whatever, told Maloney so, was searched and none found. Mr. D M. Ward has been associated with mec in merchandize at this place o-er two years ;it has been his habit to spend part of his tinre here assisting me with the business, was at the store every day and boardedl at my house. Ward was fired on, by whom he does not know, was not ordered to halt, and there was no search made for him afterwarde. My house has been open all the time for both transient and permanent boarders; no one of any race or color, regardlcssof previous con dition, or prejudices of others has gone from my house hungry or int want of anything else I could furnish. Even Maloney himself, was invited to havec supper, and spend the night, but when my little son came in, and told him of his dustrrdly conduct in thet woods on his person, lhe was ashamed to partake et the'fathier's hospitalitics after hav ing so crnelly treated his son, and declined giving as an excusc that he was at'raid that Dan Ward wonid return andi attack him, therefore he must get away. THOS. W. BLEASE. A CARD. MEssRs. EDITORs :-I desire to correct a false impression which I understand from t friends exists in the minds of a number of citizens in this county. IIaving formerly belonged to the estate of the late Chancellor Johnstone, I am some-.i times known as Willis Johnstone. The famn iy name of my forefathers, before they came Ito this State, was SAUNDEas, and even be fore the Emancipation Act, my name was Willis Saunders. There is a Willis John son-a coloured appointeer of the Deputy U. S. Marshall--and I have been told that numbers of persons think I am that man. I wish to correct the mistake. I am not a maker, breaker or enforcer of the laws. These duties I leave to those who understand . them My business is that of a -labourer, Ir and to that I confine my attention--leavingn o others those matters which they are more1 r competent to discharge. I do not wish to be a understood either as commending or con demning Mr. Willis Johnson. I should not share with him the reward for the good he may do, nor should I divide with him the odium he may incur from whatever may be Iregarded as evil--hence you will do a kind ness to him as well as myself by inserting V this communication in your columns.

TiE G.omious FortTrr.--ihrsday last was cele',rated by the colored population, as the day THEIR forefathers, &c. The morn-! iog was bright and under the inspiration of music, the commanding general, whose name was legion, and both horse and foot, led off with the squadron of cavalry, follow ed by the infantry, whose gallant captain capered nimbly at the head of his column, giving his command thus-"git on the right sde-d-n your hearts." Arrived at "Blue Ruin." which was their .ohjective point, speeches were made by Judges Hoge and Wright and Rev. R: H. Cain, after which a dinner was eaten with great guito. In the af ternoon the party returned to the Court House,I where speeches were made by the same speak err, some of whom we hcard. That by Rev. Cain was good. The speaker's premises were based upon a correct system of ethics, and the points of his argument were strong. In chaste and simple language and a clear enunciation, he spoke to his colored friends about "men and things'' which most direct ly concern themn. Such as hog and homniny, home influenees, unjust taxation, which is sappingtheir vitals, and retarding their pros perity, &c., the need of peace, and an era of! prosperity, in which both races will under stand each other better, &c., and establish that unity which shall not compromise either party, but eventuate in a good, compre hensive, liberal, an:d economically adminis tered "government, of the people, by the peo pe, for the people," who are sovereign, according to the organic structure and genius of the constitution. He exposed the venalIty of the rings, and affirmed that he was not a carpet-bagger but a trunker-and that he had coma to stay, invest his intereit here and strive for the common weal. With reference to an econ omically administered government, he stated that 10 mills on the dollar would be an am pIe revenue of taxation to run the govern ment, pay the officials, meet the accruing interest, and leave a surplus in the treasury. He told the colored people wholesome truths about the legerdemain and wheedling prac ticed upon them-the sand thrown into their eye4-and the woo! that is pulled over by those who use them as willing toolN and dupes, &c. But he clinchedi the rs.ii th.at he drove home whenu he told the-r. that they piy the taxes-in.iretly as it mi:'bt scem. To-wit, that alhengh !!,ey do not posse4s l;mnds and other tt.::able property. they buy sugar and find the tax at the bottom of their cups, in the bricks in their hat-, (whiskey being a great i.ig illi of taxation,' in their boots; from tbc crown of their heads to the soies 01' their fee:. they are ::c ed-and thecy pay the taxc<, ad are kept pocr. alnd thi:: is right bec:mse they are oob: encagh not to see Det ter and do better. l{e yaid the merchant woi be a consumate fool if hec did not put the ax or. thenm. to, pay the heavy and ex horitanat direct tix levied upon his goods. hlat this was baciness. UIe endorsed Gen. Grant, but spoke kindly of. Mr. Greeiey, and closed his remarks by rging his colored hearers to remember that ther- were on triai, and that they must be prudent in their selection of custodians--not to tke any Tomn, Dick, Harry or Bill's ipsej iixit but refer to his anteced'tnts, and learn us to hi, general cha;racter, hc,nesty, fitness, :apacty. xe , before giving him suffrage.

W. GRAND MASTrt, G. E., CHARLESToN, July I, A. L., 5872. It is.my painful duty to announce to the craft of this State that,- on the 2d inst., Most Worshipful Charles M. Fur man, Past Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of South Carolina, one of the most fervent worshippers at our altars, pused beyond these vails - into a higher temple "not made with hands." A life of such extended usefulness and purity, so rich in all that makes a full and noble man. hood, asks no; eulogy. Nor could we bcstow a fitting one while we bend under the first shock of bereavement. While our hearts are stricken with sorrow, we can only remember how we shall miss the venerable form, the warm handclasp, the wise counsel, the temperatejudgment, and "That best portion of a good man's life, His little, nameless, unremembered acts Of kindness and of love." When time shall sear over our now bleeding wounds, fitting hands will gather up the threads of this broken life and weave them into a web of harmony and beauty. But that we may give some expression to our sorrow. I reccommend to the craft thooughout the entire State that our jewels and the horns of our altars be draped in mourning for the space of sixty days, and as we bewail our fallen chief, may we emulate the virtues we are so proud to remember.

The doctor is quoted in the Larcet as declaring that tea-tippling is not a whit less dangerous to health than dram drinking. - Tea is a narcotic poison. It ruins the digestion. It enfeebles the heart's actions. It shatters the -nerves It causes the introduction of a large quantity of hot water into the system, thus interfering terribly with nutrition. Tea drinking (to us' the awful language of Dr. Arlidge) is "as distinctly sensual, extravagant and pernicious as beer drinking or gin-swilling." Think - that, 0 sisters of Sorosis !
