Wednesday, Juiy 9, -1873. We call attention to the extrae from the speech of Col. Hudnutf Chief Engineer of the Laurens Asheville Railroad, ou our first page. The Due West Commenee ments. The Abbeville papers furnish higi ly interesting accounts of the com mencement exercises of the Due Wes Female College and of Erskine Mal College, which closed on Thursda; evening, June 26th. Both of thes institutions are in a prosperous an happy condition, and situated as the; are in a healthy country, and of eas; access from all parts of the State, the; 'are generally largely patronized. Among the names of the young ladie mentioned from Newberry, we notic those of Miss Lida H. Sparks, HelE na, who delivered an essay entitled "Be Somethin"-Miss Mamie Pool had a place in the charming picture in a double trio, March from Normn as did al " Miss Carrie Chalmers, in trio, "Bonnie Dundee Quadrifle." We notice that the Alumni Associ tion of Erskine,-have elected Col. J K. G. Nance, of Newberry, to prepar himself for the next anniversary ad dress. Ira B. Jones, Esq., has been electe< by the class of 1870, to deliver an fd dress on the occasion of a class re union to take place at next commence ment. The Difference. The effects of the new Postal law oi the press are widely different, an while it is generally felt to be a pett: exaction, and one which reflects n credit on Congress, and one whicl that body will not only be ashamed of but hasten to undo, s6me members o the press, we are pleased to say a larg, majority, accept the situation as grace fully as possible, and determine to ex change with the brethren as hereto fore, and a few would rather have th< present system than the old one o free exchange. There are others (Dailies) however, who look to th damage to themselves, and will onl; exchange with the weekly press on th, latter paying postage on both. It would be strange if it were no so. the world would hardly progressi it. were not made up of all kinds ani varieties of people. Geo. W. Nasor Jr., of the New-Berne, (N. C. ) Re pubhlic-Courier, goes a step beyon the least unselfish, and says : "We shall continue our exchang2 list same as at present. We shall paa the postage on all exchanges sent t< us, and shall mail our paper to then: as usual. If any publisher receivin: our journal cannot afford to pay th postage, we shall prepay the same upoi notice." Tihe law in its effects reminds us'. a remedy in medicine, which, whi] its influence is of a happy characte on one, is injurious to another. Roanoke College. The commencement exercises o this institution, lately closed, prove from the accounts received that iti capable of imparting as high a degre of e" nre as any other of its chmarac ter. It is steadily increasing in popu. larity and the number of its students The last was its twentieth session, an: during which our talented youn; friend, Mr. Z. W. Bedenbaugh. ( Newberry, has had the honor of finish ing a course sf studies which will fi him for life's duties. We are gladt know that Mr. B. has graduated wit1 distinction. His address on this in portant and interesting occasion ivi on the "Triumphs of Chemistry." The Roanoke Tine.s in commientin on a previous effort of Mr. B.. the o< easion being a contest for the orator medal, makes the following coimpl mentatry allusion:. "The first oration was by Z. W. Be denbaugh, of Newberry. S. C2. i subject "Connection of Taste wit Genius." The speaker laid downa his main postulate that true geniusi not to be put to the line and plumne of technical rules and restrictions that it receives not its birth in tb slowly accumulating forces of th mind's progression, but that it spring full-panoplied in the attributes of it power from the hand of its Make: It was shown, too, that although th imprint of genius is made by th Divine hand on the plastic huma soul, the man thus set apart from hi fellows, if true to his lofty origin. wi not ignore the laws which form tru taste. The fires of genius will blen beautifully with the rainbow-tinte rays of testhetic culture. Olympus with its summit touching the heavenm loses none of its grandeur because it sides are covered with pleasant woods caves and grottoes.

Our exchageC generally :!how tha the Gran,es are at work,and are rapidly extending their influence over the whole length and breadth of the land. Particularly are they the most active in the Western States. We notice in the Rural Carolinian for July, an interesting account of a gathering of the Union County Grangers, on the first Monday in June last, for the purpose of a interchange of opinions upoun questions rtlating to the welfare of the Order. There were present, delegates from Fair Forest, Cross Key, Cane Creek, Meador, and Uniou Granges, and the occasioi is described as being not orly very interesting, but instructive. The Carolinian s.ys: The main question fo)r the discus. sion of which the delegates had as. ,sembled, was the condition and pros. s pect of the crops, &c., which was e thoroughly sifted, and the following conelusions arrived at "Area planted in cotton, compared to 1872, in the County of Union; an increase of ten per cent. The present condition and prospect of the crop ? Decidedly bad. An excess of rain, cloudy, cold nights, high winds, de ficiency of reliable labor, and luxuriant grass, have combined to injure the stand, and retard the growth of the plant, was the unanimous opinion. 1 Comparative area planted in corn ? - There was some difference of opinion upon this question-some sections having planted as much-others re porting a decrease of 5 per cent., which. we think, may be safely set down for the county. What the condition of the corn crop? Decidedly bad. Comparative area in wheat? Ten per cent, less. Prospects of the crop? Very unfavorable. Comparative area in oats ? Increase I of ten per cent. Prospect of crop ? Favorable. ) Comparative amount of fertilizers used? An increase of from 25 to 50 I per cent. Y Condition of the fruit crop? Bad. f It has been mostly killed by frost, and a species of blight seems to be attack ing the apple tree as well as the pears. What thle supply of labor ? Defi cient. - What as to its reliability? Worse than 1872, while the vices of gamb ling and drunkenness seem to be on the increase. How many mules imported from a Kentucky and Tennessee? One Grange reported 50. The others were not post ed on the subject. How many home-raised mules ? Very few. SHow many hogs raised ? Some of fthe Granges reported none-others, Ithat a few small fairmers managed to raise enough for home consumption. But as a general thing most persons -relied on the West for their pork and Sbacon.. What the supply of cattle? Suffi e ient for home consumption. What the supply of sheep? Defi cient, owing to the multiplicity of dogs, and lovers of mutton. What progress in the cultivation of the grasses ? Very little. The two last dry and hot summers have been unfavorable, while the mania for cot fton seems to absorb all minor iudus tres. eIIow much sorghum planted ? None. rWhat is the supply of mechanies ? Very deficient; particularly good black smiiths. A very interesting discussion on fthe above, and other topics relevant to the Order, was indulged in freely by members. which was really gratitying, as affording assurance of the good Swhich always springs from intellectual -collision. It was unanimously agreed, that an other Council should be held on the fis Satarday in August, prepared to report on the condition and prospect of the crops and all other matters fconnected with the good of agricul ture. tAn agreeable feature of the meet ing was that it partook of a pie-uie character, each member taking with him or her a basket of refreshments, that necessary array ment being understood before hand. Now the question here arises : Why cannot the Newberry Grangers meet together, say about the 1st of August, also for a similar interchange of ideas, as pro motive of the general good ? What say you Newberry Granges? We would like very miuch to attend such a gathering of thle farming element, though no farmer ourself, and feel satisfied that much grood would be derived from it. We wait a reply, and will publish without charge any call which may be handed in looking to this object. SBrier )ientions. The evils feared, that postal cards would be used as a meaus of offensive couuunications, have not been real ized, where the cards can be obtained, 1and it is not likely there will be any trouble here in this respect, for we can get none of them for good or evil ,purposes. We do not understood why it is that the Newberry P'ostoffice can not get a supply of them. jThe terrible fires which prevailed elast year in the Northern woods, and caused such an immense destruction eof property, seems likely to be dupli cated this summer. The summer has thus far been very dry, and the debris .of the forests catches like tinder and burns with fearful-rapidity. The New - York H1erald insists that same legal f safeguards nmust be provided for the protection of the woods, though it will Sbe a most difficult thing to do. fJudge Graham, says the Charleston tlhan the :hcriff, or one of his lawful dcputis , :mny warrants to sumiUns jurors to serve upon inquests; als prohibiting the coroner from swearing as jurors any person who has not been sumnnoned and warned, verbally or otherwise, to appear before the e)roner by the sheriff or one of hi. deputies. The reports from most of the South ern States show a favorable condition of the corn and cotton crops. with v prospect of a handsome vield. In som of the Northern States the cereall have suffered severely. but in the ureat er portion of the country the prospec ahead for planters and iimniers is very checering. The regulations governing fruit dis tillers are: That they give notice 01 their intention to distill. on Jun 27th. They shall give a good and sufficient bond, to be approved by th( Collectur, before coin menci ng oper ations. They shall keep a true ae count of hands worked, and make z sworn return of each month's work. They shall pay seventy cents per gal Ion on every taxable gallon of spirite produced. No special tax is required Equipping the Greenville and Columbia Railroad--The Pro posed Quick Schedule. We copy the following iuterestinm information in regard to the prospect. of the Greenville and Columbia Rail road, from the Charleston News ano Courier. It is indeed gratifying tc know that the tie is not far distan when this road will be placed in gooc condition, and when the up-countr3 will be in sooner connection witli Charleston : The Greenville and Columbia Rail road, one of the most important feed, ers of Charleston. will be put in first class order as rapidly as possible Five hundred tons of T rails, with th most approved fastenings, have beer provided, and are being laid dowi with all practicable dispatch. Addi. tional locomotives and cars are undei contract, and in progress. and wil certainly be ready for the fall busimess It is proposed, when the improve mnents of the track are sufficiently ad vanced, to quicken the scheduleson th( Greenville and Columbia Railroad, and connect its trains at Columnbi: with a special fast passenger train )J the South Carolina Railroad, so as tc bring the Greenville and the Colum bia passengers into Charleston at half-past ten o'clock at night. Few persons have any adequat idea of the difficulties which havy surrounded the Greenville and Colun, bia Railroad since it passed into th< hands of' its present owners. The ro:d was worn out; its ralli2g stoek was in a miserably dilapidated condition; tha increase in business tasked the capa city of the line to the utmost. At the same time. the protracted litiga tion in which the eomnpany was in volved destroyed its credit, and pre vented the management from spend ing money, as they had proposed it do, in refitting :and .quipping th road. The public complained of in sufficient accommodation, but it maj safely be said that, without the cc operation of the South Carolina Rail road, and the liberal use of its mnotiv power and car's, there would hav< been a complete block-np of freighi above Columbia. This trouble is nov past, and by the time that activ< business re-opens, the Greenville ani Columbia Railroad is expected to b< in a condition to give ample acconmmo dation to both freight and passengers FOR THE HERALD. The Pie Nic Saturday. It appears as if the earnest wishes of thm young people were heeded, as the day for thm pic nic was all that could be desired. Thm wind was cool and refreshing, and the sk: cloudless. With such promise, there so0i collected kt the rendezvous - Prof. Pifer' Academy-a majority of the beauty arnd gal lantry of the town. Here dray loads in grea number left, forming a gay procession, an< passing down Main st., by the depot, wen helter, skelter, as if each was racing to reacl the gaol first and win the honors. O'Ncal's old mill was reached in due set son, and the young girls and boys, pardo1 us we mean ladies and gentlemen, began t cast sly glances, yet very significant ones,a *each other ; and, suddenly and with wonder fnl simultaniety, a spirit seemed to mnov each other, as it were. Before you coul look around, couple after couple sought th cover of some shady spot to recline at ens on the verdant carpet of grass to indulge 1 the pleasures of an uniuterrupted tete-a-tete We noticed that this selfihh perambulating of couples was the most conspicuous featur of the day; but who could expect otherwis in this period of advancement. The "~Will Irishman," "Steal Partners," and other ju venile sports were in disrepute. From thm dots we could gather and from private ob servation, there were many gordian knot tied and severed. It seems as if fishing wa intended to assist in passing the ennui of th day; but whether it was to fish for the deni zens of the water or to catch dry land fish is a very doubtful question. We understani fish bit finely, but few were taken. But on thing is certain, we observed a specialty i the later sport. A t 2 o'clock, instinct or the pangs of hun ger, we don't know which, drew all the stra; parties about the grove of oaks just to thm left of the mill, where a most abundant sup ply of the good things of this world wier: spread, composed of both sweetmeats an substantial eatables. From observatzions yoi would suppose that few had eaten anything fo: several days, yet it was gratirying to see tI young people enjoy themselves so much. Though all ate until some had to be assiste< from the ground, yet the tables seemed asi utntouchmed. The gentlemen who had tI kindness to treat the fair ones to ice-lemnon ade are dlue many thanks and much praise By their considerateness they won manj hearts. The evening w:ts spent similar t< the forenoon. At 6 o'clock such a swarini around the wagons never was seetn before A dark ,threatening clmud hurried oflf the l'ic Nickers, who returned to their sever.d homne in gay s.pirits, and highly pl.:ased with the day's sport. A umore pleasant day never was spent, noi a inure lively gathering of the young mtine and tuusters. Our wish is that it may he re peated at no distant date, at this miost haplo: W RITTEN FOR IHE 11RALD.. D)epnjair-PeIace.

C. IFOR THE IIrRLD. Letter frou Prosperity. 1'LUSERLTY?, July 40h, 18S3. Mt. EDiroR: The iatal dav of Anerica is here, and as hot as the ithiiabi.atti of said country can well stand it. It seans to be a holiday still. About our towi are gathered large numbers of both white and black, from all parts of the County. Ir. J. M. Kibler has a baibecue, and ha, fur nished for all a dinner, prepared by the most noted cooks in this part of the Cunity. Among them is that chief of hash mtkers, Mr. S. P. Kinard, of your town. We were there in time with our bucket and luvipg fil,ed it returned home to eijoy it wita our better half. Our opinion is, that neither Mr Holley nor Mr. Kinard have lost their reputation by this effort to prepare sr ry food for the people. Since our last we have been going fron place to place, foll' wing the call of duty, and enjoying the presence of old sceies and friends. Our lirst trip was to Walhalla to attend the commencemnwnt e xercises of Ne wherry College. The examination of the students was all that 'could be expected, and gave evidence of the qualification and zeal of our professors and the studious habits of the students there. The fact that there hIs been no meetiag of the faculty ior the con sideration of eases of bad conduct neces sary, for the whole of the past session, sho%s the moral condition of the institution. The exercises of coinmmencement week were interesting and . well attended. We have not space to notice all the exercises, hetice will only refer to the contest in oratory between Messrs. L. Bushy, W. C. Moore anad Geo. Haltiwanger. Each speaker did well, so well that the comimittee only re grotted thiere were not Lhre.' iimnIs inimatd of one. The medal was awarded to Mr. Geo. Hlaltiwanger, of Ninety-Siv. Let the people come up with their pledges to the institution and she a ill be entirely free from debt, and in better cotidition thtan ever since the war. From WaIhalla we went to St. Paul's Church, about six nmiles below Prosperity, to be present at a meeting of the Ne wberry Conference of the S. C. Lutheran Synod. We were pleased with everythinig atnd emjoy ed ourself finely. The naext meeting will be - held in Newberry at Luther Chapel, begin ninig on Friday before tihe fifth Sunday in August. 3 Just about town business is very dull, though in the surrounding cotuntry there is a lively battle going on between the fur mers and the-grass. The former are about to conquer, and the general appearatice of the crops is better than their condition two - weeks affo would have indicated. I will not -be surprised if there will not be as rauich trouble in the fall to have themt gathered, as niow, to get them worked. The lodge of a Good Tenmplars is doing well. Five were e initiated at our last meeting, and several s applicants for the next. More sonme other time. PIlI. MOmDY, July 7, 1873. Little did we think wheti we penned the above that it wou!d be our sad duty to record the destruction of nearly the etitire business portion of our little town. On Saturday nxight a fire originated in the rear -of the store of Messrs. Wise, VM hites & Co., a and what is mysterious, on the outside. Before any thing could be done it hadn t spread to the roof of the buildinig, atnd thet -saving of the place became an ut.er im possibility. The houses being of wool and near together, they caught andu burned e so rapidly that in two hours seventeet a business houses and two little oiit-hiouises .were destroyed.

PHI. 170R TIM I1.11 tA LI) Sa':guing ai ro:) to the . the Imu-t co'nfortable one ii the hu,e should be I seleced. The tlek, vei more than the Nell, are agreeably impres'ed with the plea,ant ness of their surrounlings, and every coIm, fort afforded them facilitates the successful treatment of tlier ease: besides, the fact of your having givein them the %cst quarters at your coninvid, they accept is an earnest of good alI subsequent t-eatment, arid bcmnie tractable, obedient to directions, and patient under sufferings. The sick roon should be arr.nged so a. t) admit of thorough ventilation, and should be kept !-crupuou<-y clean. If the patient is to be contined lug, especially in summicr titne with a fever, all carpets, m11ats and rugs should be removed; there should be no curtains around the bed, which should be of that tirm, yet so.t and even kiud that a mother knows so well how to arrange for her sick child. liot end cold water should he of easy access. The physician should be consulted as to what company the patient is to be allowed to see; and his instructions on this point, as well as on all others, should be strictly ob served, even though some friend should be foolish enough to take offence at being excluded. If the physician has appointed an hour for making his calls, have every thing in readi ness to admit him immediately on his ar rival; as a very little tardiness on your part might cause : i to fail in punctuality to his next call. And there is another point to which I would beg to call the attention of my reader, if perchance one has followed ie thus far, in regard to the physician's calls; it is this:-No one should remain in the patient's room during the doctor's call, ex. cept the nurse, or pareut, or a confidential friend. Do not forget this. If you happen to be visiting a friend when the medical advisor calls, withdraw quietly from the room,and ifpossible, carry witli you any other visitors who may be prescut, and who may.not be as considerate as yourself. The temptation to remain and hear what the doctor says :nay be very great; but idle curiosity must not be placed in the acales with hutman life, and life might depeud upon the physician's learting one, simple, little fact, that a strangier's presence might prevent coming to his notice. W'hat food is ordered for the sick, shou Id be gotten up with the greatest care and nicety, and should be served in the daintest manner at your commind; in short, get up your little delicacies for your own sick boy, just as you would to send to your nicest neighbor. Tue ordinary neglect of this one thing, will account for the faer, tha:t the sick always relish little dishes coming from abroad, more than the saute articlc gotten up at home and served in the usual manner. If, for example, tea and toast are ordered; do not bring the toast on the saucer, nor the tea in the cup, in which they have been pre pared or kept warm, nor, tnay be, a greasy spoon with which to sip the tea. You would send the sane articles to your sick ueighbor, upou your brightest waiter, evvered with your snowiest napkin, the toast browned to the most perfect nicety; you would serve on one of your choicest little dishes; and the tea in one of those frail china cups, that you only use on extra occasions; the knite, and the *fork, and the spoon, would be burnished to thlei7 utmost calpacity for brightness. You would cut some of your choicest, simple flowers, suitable for the siek rootm, anid at the risk of allowing the tea to get too cool, you would spend some mninutLes itn arranuginlg them mnto a perfect love of a nose-gay, to lbe laid on the side of thle waiter; and as you would look at it nith just a wee bit of pardonable pride you would think:-'"that ought to tempit the api,etite of the most squeamish. Can't you do this for the sick one at home? It may be a good deal of trotuble, to make these preparations three or four times every day, perhaps for weeks: lbut suppose your little boy gets well and in after years he is away from home, sick among strangers, needirTg good nursing, liow often will his mind revert to those sick days at home? Dare I tell you that his heart will not warm to that mother who nursed him soassiduous ly? This thought will repay many little troubles. Suppose On the other hand; in spite of the phiysi clan's best and most skillful endeavors, despit' you good nursing, aye, after all the praycrs for his recovery, your little one sinks and dies; need I tell you that the memories of these little troubles and cares will com mingle with the most soothing drops, that will bedew and comfort your achitng heart, when you lay that loved one away i.a thle grave, and return to your gloomy home?
