A little after nine A3 suppli hi
with a daddy-lot)-legs, whi was
t-i by wnoon. At oue Ocoka w
fly was greedily seized, and with an
ppetite, apparently no worse
previous iudulgence, he commenced
ou the blowfly. During the day, and
t te eveaing. a great nany
smali green flies. or what are popular
ly termed medges had been caught in
the web: of these we counted one
hundred and twoutv ali de-ad. ztnd 'ast
prisoners in the spider's uest. Soon
after dark, provided with a Iant:r,
we went to examine whether the spi
der wis sufferiug from indigestou, orI
in any other way from his previous
meals; instead, however, of being
thus aflected, he was employed in roll
i1gY up together the various littLe
green r:edges, which he then to)k to
his retreat ard ate. This proce.-s he
repeated carrying up the lots in little
detachments, until the whole web was
caten, for the web and its contents
were bundled up together. A slight
ra.t of about -: hour was folowed by
the most industrious web-making pro
cess, and before daybreak. another
web was ready to be used in the same
way. Taking the relative size of the
spider and of the creatures it ate. and
applying this to a wan, it wou!d be
soMewhat- as follows : At daybreak,
a sma1 -lligator was eaten; at seven
A. M. a lamb: at nine A. M. a camel
leopard; at ofie o'clock a sheep; and
durmg the night one hundred and
twenty larks. This, we believe. w old
be a.very fair allowance for one 7man
during twenty-fou hours; and could
we find ope gifted with such an appe
tite and such a digegtion, we can
readily col-preheud bow he mighnt
spin five miles of web without killing
himself,, provided he possessed t-c
necessary machinery.

menicemient.
Ostensibly visiting Columbia during
ic last week to witness the Commence
tent Exercises of the Methodist Fe
iale College, it is but natural that the
ader interested in the advancement
nd success of that institution should
)ok for some account of an occasion so
ll of promise. It is a source of re
ret, however, that the circumstances
ver which we had no control-the rain
:orm of Monday night, which prevent
d us from going out, and the trenen
ous crowd of Tuesday night, which
revented our getting into the chapel
re both sadly in the way of giving an
count worthy of so distinguished and
Iasant :in affair, our notes perfarce
eing nearly all second-hand. It nmay
e all suflieent to know though, that it
as a splendid success, that the gradu
tes twenty-four in number, having
aIsed a triumpjhant examination,taste
ll and elegantly attired, and beautiful
1 form and feature, (we saiw them as
ey filed in,) acquitted thiemselveslhand
>mely, and wer3 rewarded by bright
niles, happy plaudits and showers of
ouquets. 'Their success, evidenced in
ie hearty applause given them by an
preciative and select audienco, re
ects high credit on President Jones
d his able co-iudjutors. one among the
iost deserving of -pnuse, we are pleas
d to mention, being Professor Wallace.
Notwithstanding the rain of Monday
ight, and which set in at twilight and
ntinued for some hours. the chapel
as packed by those who risked a duok
ig to enjoy the promise hi store. The
riter could not stand the ducking, ail
aough having a cordial invitation to
one round and take the chainces of
tanding in the outer hall or squeezing
i and beingr suffocated within an aee
f his life. Verily, we re.mained away,
r it was a raining. Anyhow here is

address. When he in return was made

of the regard in which he was h-'d by
the class. The presentation w: nado
by the 1ev. Mr. Kirkland in his usual
felicitous manner. which was feelingly
responded to by President Jones.
Then caie the parting song and the
benediction, anxiously prayed for hy the
waiting (nallants who hld the -promise
of an unrestricted intercourse with
the girls, only then uneaged. Two
hours thus spent were su1preime in hiss.

are echoless for a time, till again they
will ring with the laurh and the Song
of the merry-hearted girls who will re

We onitted to mention at the beginning
that the opening sermon was delivered
by the Rev. J. W. Kelly on Sunday in
the Baptist Church, to a large and deeply
interested congregation. The closing
prayer by the Rev. J. K. Meudenhall.
pastor of the above named church, was
appropriate t tthe occasion and full of
tendelr sympathy and supphlication for
the future of those committed to the
College.
We adid in exp)lanation that the grad

lines of the programmne from 1 to 24.

On Monda:y night. the 29thi, the

The speaking, in the main. was very
god soing considerable culture on
the pa tfthe young meon in this re

of the Jnniaor Class, all of which gave

considerable maturity of thought.
Ou Tuesday night the balance of

These speeches were interesting and
worthy of the young meu whose Col

these anl address was made to the class
of 1870., celebrating its first quadren
nial re union, the subject being, Our
Day and Our Duty.
Wednesday, the big Commencement
day of Erskinle College, was ushered
in under favorable cireumlstanlces.
The rain Tuesday night had laid the

This well settled plantation is on inf
the waters of the Steno River, a ride su
of eight miles un the Savannah & po
Charleston Rail Road bringing the op
visitor to John's Island Ferry tepot, otl
within sight of the residence. It was au,
formerly the property of the late S.
G. Barker, from whose estate it was Pr
purchased by the tresent proprietors, an
M. & M. Cotwright. Crentlemen from to
the Ncrth. Thy have built a large.
splendid dwelling. two and a half mi
stories, in full view of the river, fur- d
nished*with every modern conveni- un
ence. water being carried through the fim
entire building. In one settlement, of
about a mile from this house there are be:
about twenty laborers' cottages, built by
on brick f,)undations with brick chim- a p
neys. In the other there are also a a ,
number of uice laborers' houses, and ho
the place furnished with the most up sw
proved and modernly arranged barns, his
stables and sheds for .vehicles and ir
farming implements. w
The lands are lw, with a subsoil of eI
blue clay, and were at one period cul-t
tivated in riee, the extensive reserves de'
on the place furnishing the means. of all
irrigation.
Of~ late years fine sea island cottons 0X4
have been the crops miostly cultivated. taui
but recently the fesults from this sta- lan
pie have been so discouraging tinat the
area assigned to it has been very muuch I hI
reduced.
