[from Pen and Piow.i Curious Wills. WIL OF M. HELLION, JUDGE DE PAIX. This L.elan, well known zas a mngi'trate. and residing on his own Uanded prc-p1rty close to (:!en, in Nrintwdy, died i; the roth of June. 1828. He was of eccentric habits, and of the calmest and most placid disposition. Nothing was ever kuowi to rhelk his equanimity or to disturb t.he repose and tranquility of his do inestic arrangements. He lived and died uanmarried. and passed his life either reclining un a couch or lying in bed. Even when exerciino his jridicial functions he niaintained this re.mnboat attitude; his bed-room b%! - remUe his audience-chamber, aad be t.v.f iudgwent in a horizontal position*, h& body lazily stretched out, and his head thrown back on a down pillow. This luxurious life, however, did not suffice to protect him from the inevit -able lot of mortals : and M. Helloin. in due tial-, felt thtt his-end was not far off. Under these circumstances h made his will, apparently with the intention of proving his fidelity to his traditions, for lie decreed thereby that 'he should be buried at night. in his bed, and in the position in which death should surprise hiiu-viz., with his mattress, sheets, blankets, pillows-and in short, all that con stituted the belongings of a bedstead." As there was some 'dificulty in carry ing out such a clause, an enormous pit was dug and the deceased was lowered into his last resting-place exactly as he had died, nothing around or about him having been alter ed. Boards were placed above the bedstead, in order the earth, when fiU ed in again,should not trouble the re pose of this imperturable Quietist. WILL OF DANIEL MARTINETT. (An O#icer in thte East India Com pany's &rvice.) Among original wills may certainly he reckoned that of Daniel Martinett. Dying very poor, this singular fellow bequeathed his debts to the Governor of Rengal. who generously accepted the equivocat-legacy. We hardly .1-now .whether to admire more the sangfroid of the testator or the bon homie of the legatee. The principal dispositions which constitute the will arQ as follows: "I, the undersigned Daniel Martin ett, being perfectly sound in my wind. though weak in body, declare that I m ake my will i-mmanner following: "1. I recommend my soul to God, and I hope to obtain of Him pardon for all my sins. "2. As to thlis miserable body ; as it has seen enough of the pomips of this lower world, all that I desire is that it in-ay lbe put away in an old green chest I have, to avoid all expense; for, having lived the life of prodigal, I would fain die the death of a niggard. ."3. My burial is to cost nothing: I won the amount of its expenses from the undertaker at a game of billiards we had together, in the presence of Messrs Thomas Morriee and William Parkes, at the house of the said Wil liam Parkes. in February last. "4. I request that the Rev. Henry Butler will read over my body the prayers usual at burials, and, more .ove'r, that he will preach a sermon on the first Sunday after my death, toking for his text these words of Solo mion, 'All is vanity.' In considera tian of this service I bequeath to him all my hopocrisy-he needs it to be an honest man, as times go. "5. I bequeath to the Governor of Bengal, Henry Vansittart, the ofiic-e of paying any sum or sums wi ich it miay be found at my death that I owe to :mty person in needy circumstances ; the whole cannot amount to more thou 300 rupees "6. 1 give my bible and prayer book to the Rev: Henry Butler ; and my sabre to Captain Knox. because I sincerely believe he has not only the skill but the courage to use it. "I have been, during my life, an object of ridicule to a fashionable gentleman, and the butt of his sar easmns. It is possible my conduct may have been somewhat extraordi nary; I hope to be able to forgive him.. "As I have nothing to leave to my ratnsin my native country, neitheri n aveIay.thing to say to them. How ever, t.hey hav~e not troubled theme selves 3nuch about me for some time : only I wish themi all very good health, and I hope that my brothers and sis ter-s may make a more prosperous journey through life than I have. (Sign'ed.) 'UANiEL \ARTiNETT." .ThE 3LA wro LOST His BiAR. A marked exception to the uncomn phdiaing unseltish endurance that characterized the survivors of the Mill River misfortune was the querulous despondency of an old gentleman whose barn was carried away, withI some hay and harness in it. Hie kncw nothning about who was lost. bu: it was awful. "Took my barn, just as handsome a barn as there was in the place, and I lhain't got a harness left. It mIes meI feel sick-sick !" His horses, it seems, had been successfully * ot and t-dken to the hills, and 'sposed bes.ught to be thaukful, but how wais he~ ever going to get over this he didn't know... Asked if any of his faanilv were lost; he shook his head aind answ2red,' I don't know how I'm goin' to git along 'thout my barn; therec it is, what there is left of it hay's all down the river, anid s'pose if I could find any of my harnes~s thev wouM'n't be worth nothin.' Oh, I'm sie-k :" And the whole calamity of the village seemed to centre its import anec-, -omehow in his 8,000 barn.

The imtportance of ani hoet Lgislature is seen in the work o the session of 1871-72. In that year the taxes collected are set down as #1338361. Of course all of this amou?nt was apprt.priated, ats usual, for thme runn,mingm er;penses of the State. but the Legislature spent fo.r 3 own c:penses in cash $927,379.29, leaving only $404,4l56.32 to mee the aprpria-ltittions.

The ,Sentinel, ma king mention of the fact, says that two respectable, reliable ania thirsty gentlemen while riding by Ceader Rock, Piekens County, stopped at a spring near by to quench their thirst. While drinking, they heard tremnen dous, lumbering noises sounding like forty teams rnnninmg away with wagons. Oam reconnoitering, they camme to the conclusion that the noise was notj caused by wagons or the slidinig of rocks down the mountain. They were nonplussed to aceount for the strange and terrible sounds, and therefore could conme to no other conclusion than that Ceader Rock was following suit to Old Baldv.

The court desired tiue to make its opiuioni on the matter which, worked a continu anet of the case until the next term. Heicet our inmmnaculato i uler breathes easily once more. For the present at least justice lingers and the strong arm .of the law is kept off of the uilty. There is no telliug what may becon of the case now. Probably We will hear no more of it, except as a farce, for not unfrequently in this State in these days does law and juE tice give way to the power of guilt and corruption. Stiek, Governor! fHon. Elliott. who appeared as coun sel for Governor Moses, at the Orange burg fiasco, according to "Vidette" in the News & Courier, made the fol lowing statement accountiing for the Governor's failure to be present to stand his trial: "The Governor, conscious of his innocence, and in his ability to meet the charge successfully, 11 at first inteRded to submit to th rocess of the court iii order to evince his res pect and submission to the court. But he was subsequently apprised of the fct that he might, by a reckless act, in waiving the privileges guaran teed to him by the coustitution, engulf the whole State in anarchy." In reply to which the solicitor said: "Moses had been induced to change his mind and refuse to submit to, the ourt, not through legal- advice, but because lhe had sent persons down ere, and had found out that he (the oliito-r) had evidence iu Moses own adwriting that was.sufiieert t.o en -ure his conviction. Just here he would state that he knew something f tine Governor's tactics. Moses had old a prominent person in Columbia hat he had received letters from persons n every part of the State, urgipg him o.stand- firm and resist arrest. The erson alluded to had asked to see the etters, whereupon the Governor weDt o his desk and took out forty-six let ers, anid showed them to him. He was right; the letters advised him to stick. But upon looking at the sigua ures it turned out that seventeen of he letters came from county treas irers, eleveu, from county atudiors, ad the balance from trial justices." Did it ever enter the heart of man o conceive why South Carolina treas trers, auditors and trial justices should want their "kingr" to stand uon his roy4 prerogative and refuse to submit to the law he swore to en force ?

C., 30th May, 187. EDITORS NEWBERRY HERALD. Hot sulls, with cool nights. and rain much wanted, have had their effect in causing backwardness in the growing crops, but shipping has been active. and large quantities of vegetables have afforded full freilits for the large Northern Steamships. The Snp bean erop recuperated considerably after the cold snap, and indeed, the loss proved to be miuch less than was feared would be the case. This crop is now nearly exhausted, but cucumbers and squashes arc now shipping freely. Tomatoes are going forward pretty well, and that indispensable vegetable, Irish po. tatoes, are being rapidly shipped, es pecially thme early variety ; the '-Early Rose" and "Chili Reds" are not much behind.

By te way, the new corporation which aw runs the Ferry, have carried into affect their promuise of a reduction in te fare, and passengers now go for welve and a half cents each way. rlhey are now considering some farther afforts looking to an increase in the speed, and number, of the trips. -One of our Schem Creek flotilla bore off a prize of $100 in the late Regatta-the "Old Buck," a "cat rigged" sloop boat belonging to Mr. E. 0.

I snppose the parents of thirty or forty years ago have seer. how the children of the pres ent da: are being bi ought up, aud are I grieved at the sizht. Tupper siys, "If ye are blessed with children, y4 h:.ve a fearful pleasure, A deeper care and a higher joy, and the range of your existence is widened. If God in wisdoin refuse theni, thank him for an unknowi mercy: For how can ye tell if they might be a blessing or a curse?" We fear, from the present discipline, they will prove a curse. The disposi tion of the people has. very much changed within the list thirty or forty years. At the present day, the will ol the youth is the will of the parents; that is, the youth do :is they please; all that a boy has to do these days is to desire to do, or not to do a thing, to go or not to go, and he will accomplish his desire, parents forgetting that "foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far froui him." But at the present day "the rod is spared, and the child is spofled." Children are not cor rected at home as they should be; must not he disciplined at schools and col I leges, because they are good and obe dient at home; yes, when permitted to follow their own inclinations and de sires. In this way the children are all good; that is, good to have their own way; and yet their parents think that they have the best. and the smartest too. Well, evetv crow thinks their young is the whitest. Boys of the pres ent day are mei at fifteen years of age, and the first idea that presents itself to their minds, is to fall in lov'e with, and court, every pretty girl with whom they become acquainted, thinking the girls are dead in love with them because they treat theni politely. I heard of a hoy sixteen years of age, not thirty years ago,0 going a courting, and the mother of the young lady, when the hour to go to bed came, drew out the trundle-bed, and told the young man of sixteen to gt in with the other little boys; lie obeyed. did not sleep much, but it put courting out of his head. She was a~sensible woman. Boys, you had better tarry at JTericho until your beards grow out. Let me observe that there is a con ceded opinion that preacher's children are worse than any other class. This is an error originated in this way, we know that our children are not what they should he, andl in order to have the example of the best men in the country, we come to the con clusion, without having any premises, that prealchers' children are worst. So much for our misguidedl judgmnent. Here, we will observe again that there are exceptions to all rules: for there are a few. who believe in the doctr-ine, that "the rod and reproof give wisdom; but a child left to himself b)ringeth his mo ther to shame."

That they would especially have the attention of the County Coninussioners called to the very had condition of the public highways and bridge spanning Little River on the Island Ferry high way. That said Commissioners should le required at once to appoint survey ors of higIhriway throughout the County and designate those who are to work under them in accordance with the pro visions of the Act in such case made and provided. This they are informed T has not been done. That the streets in the Town of New berry and some of the bridges are also in such a condition that some work would greatly improve them-and that dire the bridge over Scott Creek on the Ca Street leading to Helena is entirely on gone.
