Brief Mentions. The Methodists and Presbyterias of Mansfield, La., lately held a union meeting of a week's duration. One of the first things Mr. Moody did after reaching this cou-try was to put a stop to the publishing of his life, which had been undertaken by a Hartford house. Boston has 476 public schools, 63 banks, 165 hotels, 196 churches and religious associations, 14 courts, 138 constables, between 900 and 1.000 lawyers, and 189 newspapers and peri odicals. One of the Methodist Episcopal churches in Troy, N. Y., will hereaf ter use grape jelly dissolved in water for communion purposes. A colnhit tee of three ladies of the church has been appointed to make the jelly. The Presbyterian church of Salt Lake City, Utah, was organized in Oc tober, 1871, with ten members. It has grown in numbers and strength uutil it now owns valuable church property, consisting of a very good house of worship and a parsonage, sit uated on a corner lot of ten rods square. The Richmond Whig says that deer are numerous in Virginia, and have greatly multiplied since the war, especially in the lowland region. On the peninsula they are very numerous, and over in Chesterfield and Amelia and other Southside counties there are scores now where there was one before the war. Gen. W. K. Kimball, of Maine, who shot himself last week, left a let ter addressed to the coroner, in which he said that there was no need for an inquest, and continued : "I am sorrow stricken, heart-broken, and have vol unteered to 'cross over the river' and join the great army, gone to the front, instead of waiting to be drafted by the 'grim messenger.' God forgive me for the sin if it be a sin." A philosophical farmer in Tennes see has furnished to the Christian Observer a statement of the results of the late floods on his own crops and land. The itemized account of dam age done by the water to Timothy seed, hay, fences, ditches. stock and utensils foots up a total of $2,600. On the other hand, the farmer gained by deposit on five hundred and fifty acres, from one to eighteen inches thick, which he valued at ten dollars an acre. His clear gzain from the floods was 62,900. At Niagara Falls, on Wednesday, James Wood, formerly a sea captain, his wife, and Capt. Jones, of New York, started to visit the points of in terest, and, as soon as they reached the river at the entrance to Prospect Park, Capt. Jones suddenly said, "Good-bye," and jumped into the rapids. Mr. Wood made a spring af ter him, but failed to reach the body, and barely escaped himself. The body went over the American fall, only a few feet from Prospect Point, in sight of several hundred visitors. Jones had been out of health for some time. Keely, of motor fame, looms up again in the letter of a correspondent of the New York World, describing a visit to the remarkable man and the appearance of his workshop. It was strewn with broken models and pieces of machinery twisted as though a Titan had played with them. Being asked what forces curled up iron in this way, Keely recited the familiar phrases, "latent power in water," "mzultiplication of force," "generation of vapor"-leaving the questioner ex actly as wise as he started. The chiefly interesting part of the letter is a passage concerning some bits of de scription not previously made public. Keely is forty-five years old. From his early boyhood he has had an affnity for mechanics. At twelve he made a steam engine; at fourteen he made another; then became a clerk in a drug store, then a logomotive engineer, and then a gymnast. He has been blown into the water from a steamboat, has made two balloon ascensions, lived out West in Minnesota, has been a rover, a troubadour, a restless seeker after something new and strange. With his friends he displays his spirits like a fawn. He will toss a cigar to the ceiling and catch the right end in his teeth, fling across the yard a weight that would break the backs of three ordinary men, vault a fence, create a. devil in his own workshop, and tran qjuilly toy with him while confuting and amazing with an iron logic the opinions of a grey-headed engineer who has dropped in to make fun of the motor. He is, in fact. a queer fellow. He may be the greatest dis cover or the greatest erack brain of the time. A 'RARE YOLUME.-THE CENTENNIAL GAZETTEER OF THE UNITED STATES. By A. VON STEINWEER, A. M., author of "The Eclectic Series of School Geographies," "To pographical Map of the U. S.." etc., is a volume which commends itself to all wishing information concerning our country. It pr~e sents in Ieadily accessible shape the results or the late census, snd whatever is of value from hundreds of geographical, statistical and descriptive works. It represents the labor of years on the part of the author and a large corps of assistants, and an expendi ture of nearly &20,000. The country at large, each State, city, town and township, the pincipal rivers and mountains, are treated in separate articles, in their alphabetical places, and so fully as to bring to every reader the most desirable facts respecting each, and shows the gigantic results of TE FIRST ONE HUNDRED YEARs OF THE GREATEsT REPUBLIC THE WORLD EVER SAW. The Work is a National Standard, and will prove as indispensable to every class as a Webster's or Worcester's Dictionary. Pub lished by J. C.

The Herald is in the highest respect a Fain ily Newspaper, devotetl to the material in terests of the people of this County and the State. It circulates extensively. and as an Advertising medium offers unrivalled ad vantages. For Terms, see first page. Arrests in Laurens. The latest news from Laurens is that Washington and Walter Shell, brother and nephew of the murdered wan, have been arrested for the mur der of Crews. It is said that there are no less than twenty-one warrants ready to be serv ed. And now begins again the reign of terror in that unfortunate County. Room at the Top. It was Horace Greeley who said that "there is room plenty at the top." Allusion was made to the avocations of life. The bottom of the ladder is crowded and all the intermediate way from bottom to top is more or less full, but beyond and on top there's plenty of room. How true, and morc especially as to professions. How large the crowd which wake the start, and how few arrive at any eminence. The reason for this is plain, the large majority mistake their calling, and instead of filling useful positions as farmers, mechanics or laborers, miser ably fail as lawyers, doctors, preachers and counter-jumpers. The failures are legion, and society in consequence is overrun with non-workers and non producers. The widest field, and which lies the most invitingly open, is that of agriculture, and its skillful and scientific pursuit promises the largest yield. But it is a lamentable fact that the majority of the young men of the country who have been bred on the farm fly it from and seek their destiny in the professions, many being influenced by fathers who are fired with the ambition of seeing their sons great lawyers with large incomes. Alas, that it is so. The country loses, fertile lands lie waste, and all branches more or less suffer because the young men, who should be rightly engaged, are vainly endeavoring to reach pros perity in mistaken channels. Our ad vice to young men is to stick to the farm, study the soil and the science of planting, and success is sure to follow. There are already enough makeshifts and failures in the professions. The busy, consuming world wants workers, and men who by industry, perse verance and intelligence can win their way to the top. Jute. Some time since a communication appeared in our columns, from a plan. ter in this County, in regard to the cultivation of Jute as a substitute for cotton, the writer stating that he was then making experiments with the plant, and had some thriving speci mens of the same growing. We have heard nothing more from that quarter, however. In a late issue of the Charleston News & C'ourier appears some interesting remarks on the sub ject, predicated on an article prepared for the next number of the Rlural Carolinian, the advanced sheets of which were furnished the first named paer. It is certainly an interesting and important subject, and one which should claim attention, and if it can be successfully raised in the interior of the State as well as on the Islands of the Coast, its culture will open up a new prospect to the farmer. We deem the article of thle News and Courier sufficiently interesting to copy it entire : "The writer notes the fact that the crop of sea island cotton grown in this State, which, before the war. averaged twenity-five thousand bags per annum, has dwindled down to six thousand bags for the past year, and the plantations which before the war were among the most valuable in the State, aTe now almost unsaleable ; while planters and factors have been sinking money every year since the war in their efforts to keep alive a dying industry. The causes which have led to the present state of affairs are too well known to all interested to need discussion, but they are still ini force, and while they continue we can not look for any revival. It is there fore urged that the planters of our seaboard should look at once for somec other product that can be cultivated on these lands to advantage, and, if necessary, take the place of cotton. Rice, indigo, cotton, each in its turu has been brought from the East In dies, and found suited to our soil arid and climate and added to the resources of the State. There is still a fourth product of the same country which has grown into great importauce with in the last fifteen years, and which seems well adapted to supply our pres-, ent want, and should it be found to grow well here, it will repay the plan ter well for the loss of all the others. I This is Jute, which is now exported ~ 'o largely from East India, both to En-aland and this country. It is used n the manufacture of baging for -otton and grain, and is also mixed ith wool, flax and cotton, in numerous >ther articles. The importance to vhich the trade has grown may be udged of from thc! fact that the ial orts into the U7rited States since January 1, and the stock afloat up to late of Jutc and Jute butts. amounts 1o two hundred and forty-four thous id bales, and the stock on hand Jan aary 1 was seventy-five thousand bales, making a supply for the past eight mouths of three hundred and nine been thousand bales. "its advantages as a crop for our impoverished planters are as follows: i-The small cost of cultivation, it be ig only necessary to prepare the lamd well as for wheat or any other small Train, when it is sown broadcast and left till ready for cutting. '-The short time required to make the crop. Sown in April, it is cut in July. or if sown in May, cut in Auaumst. -No loss from stealing, as it would be v-dueless to the thief. "Its freedom from all attacks of 'ater pillars or ainy other insect. It is even said to protect cotton fields from cater pillars, if sowu around them. '-Its vield in libre is from one thous and to four thousand pounds per aere, and its value from three to six cents gld, according to the quality ; while Dn the rich lands of our truck farms, if sowu in June, when the potato urop is taken out, it would doubtless yield much more, perhaps as high as ive to six thousand pounds, and prove more profitable as a summer crop than anything else that could be planted. --A cir-uir, written by Mr. Emile Lefranc, of New Orleans, and pub ished by the Department of Agri culture at Washington, shows that it grows well in Louisiana, and from ex periweuts made within the last few years ou a small scale, we know it urows well in our rice fields. As it is important no time should be lost, it is suggest.kd that the Agricultural So ciety should take the matter in hand, procure at once enough seed to have it tested next spring on the islands and main land, find out the cost of growing it and preparing it for mar ket, and if they think well of it, have enough of land sown in it on one of the islands, under the care of some good planter, to justify them in getting. a machine next summer to prepare it for market. It would fol low, should it grow well here, that raills would be put up to make bag ging for the cotton crop, and thus sa'e transoortation on the raw ma terial to t'he North and back, which would add another item to the re sources of the South." Editorial Review. The notorious Aaron Alpeoria Brad ley received a severe cowhiding from his landlady a few days ago, lie is highly indignant, although the licking was deserved. The News and Courier, in noticing the dearh of Rev. J. W. Miles, of Charleston, on the 14th, says, the State has lost one of her most brilliant and at the same time one of the most thoughtful minds, the city one of her most valued citizens, and the church one of her ablest and most eloquent preachers. The Fall Session of the Columbia Female College, will open under the auspices of the Rev. S. B. Jones. on the first Wednesday in October, and there is every reason to believe that the classes will be fuller than ever. At least so it is hoped, and parents who wvould have their daughters obtain a good education, and desire to send them from home, cannot do better than to avail themselves of the advan tages afforded by this institution. The Union-Herald has been in. formed that just before his death, Crews referrinig to the charge connect in him with the murder of Dr. Shell in 1868. and said :"I have been mur dered, but I have committed no crime. I die an inunocentinan. 1 had nothing to do with instigating the murder of aman. Judge Mackey and Gov ernor Chamberlain know I am inno cent." We trust that if the assertion wa made, that this last declaration is true. The Columbia Register records the sudden death of the Rev. C. Bruce Walker, which took place in Claren don County, on the 11th inst. He was the pastor of the congregation at Ridge, in Edgefield, and St. Mark's, in Clarendon, and arrived at the resi dence of Henry B. Richardson, in Clarendon, on the evening of that day. After a light meal and cheerful con versatin, during which he appeared in his usual health and spirits, he re tird to his room. When the servant went next morning to wake him and serve him with his coffee, he was found dead in his bed. lie had died appa. realy without a struggle and without pain. His hands wer~e folded over his breast. and his countenance bore a placid anid benignant expression. The question of removing the Asy lumn of the Deaf, Dumb and Blind from Cedar Springs, in Spartanburg, to Columbia, is seriously mooted. The propriety or necessity of this we cannot understand. The Asylum has done a good work in its present location, and can be supported there at much less expense thau at the Capital, and tere it should by all means be allow ed to remain. Besides it is in a health icr, purcr climate, with buildings al ready erected in every way suitable for such an institution, which latter would become a ruin and loss if the institution be changed. Something more than the good of the Asylui lies at the bottom of the proposed change, some scheme by which some one or more can pocket a few hun dreds. The Asyluai by all means should be continued in its present lo. cation. The Washington correspandent of the Baitimorc Stu (hard money or Pcan) writes: "The nomination of Cyrus L. Pershing for Governor by the Pennsylvania Democratic Conven tion is considered here, even by Re publicans, as equivalent to election, owing to the position of leadiug Re publicans in that State on the currency question. It was believed that the Penusylvania Democrats would adopt resolutions uncompromnisingly in favor of bard money and specie resutuption. The resolutions adopted give cause for uneasiness among the hard money people. It is feared that the specie resumption act will be repealed, or at least that the Hqpse will hinder legis lation calculated to bring about re sumption." The ghost of the defunct Ku Klux is sought to be revived in consequence of the assassination of Joseph Crews, on the plea that the act was political. This is a prejudiced view and much to be condemned; and it is re gretted that the Governor, in his pro clamation offering a reward for the ap prehension of the assassin, should so far forget his position as a conservator of the peace of the State, as to say that "such an act tends in a special manner to disturb the peace of the State and to revive feelings and -prac tices which have already brought in calculable evils upon the people of the State." Gov. Chamberlain goes too far in supposing or hinting that politics had anything to do with a deed so dastardly in its character, and insults the Conservative people of this State, who it is safe to say deplore any and all such deeds. If there was con spiracy of political character in the assassination, we do not hesitate to say that it was the work of Crews' own party. FOR THE HERALD. Down the St. Lawrence. MONTREAL, August - 1875. "Hlow sweet it were hearing the downward stream, With half shut eyes ever to seem Faling asleep in half a dream." Ah! yes, to lean one's head .on the railing that bounds the forward deck of a sailing vessel, and with "half shut eyes" to gaze on the broad expanse of moving moon-lit waters, on the hills that lay sleeping far, far away in the dim, uncertain distance, and on the ghost-like sails that ceep so silently by on the bosom of the lake, is a joy, aI sweetness inexpressible. All night long last night we sailed over the burnished waters of Lake Ontario. 'Twas a night of rare beauty; a night such as we all have seen and almost all remembered; a night half of light and half shadow; one when the pale young moon comes silently ont and floats on clouds of fleecy splendor; when the delicate crescent shape seems vague and ethereal; and the light comes trembling through the silent atmosphere and falls upon the earth in softened splendor; when the stars shine with a sad, soft light, and the vapory mists in the pale blue ether seem weaving them selves into airy forms of silver lace. When the winds blow soft and low, and yet seem strangely calm and quiet; when the murmur of the tossing waters lays like spirit sighs upon the sweet night air; when the earth seems sleep ing a dreamy sleep and the clouds seem moving to unheard music and the air to be laden with an irresistible perfume. A night when the tales of fairies, of fays, of ghosts and goblinss eenr strangely true and real, and when we can understand man's desire to worship a god that he knows not of. Holy nights they are, which fill our souls with solemn thoughts and nameless yearn ings, and awake, that latent spirit of nature which dwells somewhere within us all. Nights which, thank God, shall never cease as long as days of sad reality precede. I sat dreaming far into the night. Men and fair women passed to and fro on deck and seemed moving in a waking dream. T1he waves beat in a murmuring monotone against the sides of the vessel. The boats moved by as if propelled by spirit hands. The winds kissed the tall white sails and murmured low sweet words as they floated by. All the earth seem draped in beauty and peace, and I thought, "How sweet it were hearing the downward stream, With half shut eyes ever to seem Falling asleep in half a dream." I blessed Tennyson with all my heart. I repeated v'erse after verse from the dreamy lotus eaters again and again to myself, and thought, Ah! how goodi the whole world is. I thought of our dear sunny southern land, and how 01(1 Newberry to-night would be wrapped in the silver light; how the trees would cast their long shadows on the grey earth, and how in deep peace and quiet the little town would lay sleeping, sleeping in the shade and light, and how perhaps the youths and maidens would in the mel lowv light repeat in low tones the old, old story, the story of love which shall neerdi. Thought of the dear old place, of the mkid friends there, of vdn ished days, of other timest of joys long gone by, and they filled my heart with mad, sweet memories. nhey glinimer down the moon's long beam? They rustle in the waters free, rhey fhdt in the moonligit's inelting dream, And slide in starlight down to ine. Long, long, I lay dreaming thus. I seemed'th 3Ree itith a poet's eyes and hear with a poeCs ears, and a music, subtle, ethereal, sweet, seemed breathed in fitful melody throughout the bound less universe. -- - Ah! would that "life wcrc but a dream," and all joys as calm as dream joys are. This morning were out on deck just as the sun was casting his first rws over the grey earth, tinting the air and sky with a bright rose thush. The boat was just entering that part of the river where the first one of the Thousand Islands stands an effeminate guard over lir sisters who lay sleeping for miles down the river. The river spreads itself here to the width of 12 miles and is (lotted with islands as thickly as 'the heavens with stars. If one were floating there in the blue ether as far up in the heav ens as the white summer clouds, he might realize the width of the river and the number of islands. On earth we have as little conception of the fact as we have that the sun is a prominent member of the "Milky Way." Some six or seven is all that show themselves at once, and the first so like the others that you could fancy them sailing along down with you, besides which you are perpetually confounding the largest or the farthest with the shore, and so circumscribing things still more. Though you have counted vaguely on getting a bird's-eye view of the whole thousand at one glance, and thus being able to verify the account, you are some how not disappointed. The trim little islets look so fresh in their green tunics of cedar and juniper that you can no more find fault with them than with a guli in her first ball dress. We received on board at Clayton a large crowd of tourists, all agog for scenery, and the scramhle for chairs next to the railing on the forward deck was something appalling. Oh! snch ebattering. "The Islands," "The St. Lawrence," "The Adirondacks," "Mon treal," "Quebec," "White Mountains," OHalifax," "Will it rain?" "Will it shine?" "Willit be foggy ?" "Shall we change boats?" "Where is my water proof?"-a charming olla podrida. It wvas one of those shady, quiet days most favorable for spending upon the water, and the baby islands each in its best bib and tucker "showed off to ad vantage" remarkably well. The great iver here has worn its many channels through a bed of solid rock and has exposed to view, as it were, the grey hairs of this, our old, old~ world, (and bald head.-ED.) At Broekville, which looks like an ancient Old World town, we parted with the islands with something of the Iregretfuil relief with which one puts the habies to bed of an evening. Prescott, Ogdensburg, then the rapids (the rapids start five miles below Prescott); Chim ney Island is passed; the "Captin" clibs up the front of the wheel house, a keen, grey-haired sailor takes the steeran's place and four lusty fellows man the wheel; everybody draws near the railing. The steamn is shut off and the vessel seems to pause a moment to gather strength, while a death-like si lence pervades the crow I as the first "slap" of the b)reakers is felt upon the prow, but "Long Sault" is not what we expected. We are not sliding down an incipient waterfall, but are buffeting with a stormy sea. The wind howls in the rigging, great waves rise up and break upon the vessel, dashing their blinding spray into our very faces, while the war of the surging waters drowns every sound. No one speaks; no( one even breathes, until suddenly we hear a scream, every one then in stinctively loosens tension; the spell is broken and every one is relieved. Tbe boat tosses on down the rapids amidl a chorus of exclamations, Mag nificent! Glorious! Splendid! Fearful! &c, &c., &e. Placid laLke. St. George seems very tame and tedious after the perils of the "Sault." The Colean, the Cedars and the Cascades all come in due order. Every one is delighted, but no one dumb founded, there is a little humor to be sure at the sight of the steamer "Grecian" lying upon the rocks of the Cedars, and a devout hope expressed as the "Champion" tumbles down that tu multuous stairway that she may not meet with a like fate. The "Champion" is an hour late at Kinston; the rosy sun set louds which are piling themselves so complacently above the blue mirror of Lake St. Louis are all very lovely, but strike us as a little premature, and an ominous fog is gathering in the dim distance where the Royal Mountain rears its lofty head, Watches are here anxiously consulted, distance computed, and the captain nearly teased to death. "Everything depends upon the, fog, Madam," "Pray for a breeze, Miss, if you wish to go through," were some of the answers to the many inquiries as to whether we would have to turn off into the canal or go through the rapids. We pass Caughnawatga and the canal, and steam on. We take on an Indian pilot; the steam is again shut off, again we hear the first "slap" of the wheel; again the breakers roar, only with a greater force and louder noise. Truly the ex citement of the passage is fully equal to the most sanguine expectations. It is a thing once seen-once felt, to be re membered for a life time. The calm, steady figure of the captain, upon whom the whole responsibility rests, the dark, stolid Indian, with his bead-like eyes fixed upon some mysterious point in view, the earnest, onward look of the man at the wheel, the crowd of motion less passengers, some faces rosy with the intoxication of excitement, some blanched with fear; the great steamer wvith its precious burden of life now tossed like a plaything upon the breast of a gigantic wave; now plunging head lng into the very jaws of the treach erous rocks. A! La Chime, long to be remem ered, thou art grander than all other rapids on earth. We shot out into the sooth water at last, and the paddles resumed their work. We see the great Victoria bridge spanning'the river from shore to shore and looking so low that it seems unpl1ossible for the vessel, to say nothing of the masts, to pass. We ad vance to the graceful arches and mas ve )irs with their contrivances for breaking iloating ice, and slip calmly and smootly into "Montreal ." -VOYAGEUR.

After dinner the dedication service will be conducted, after which uhe building will be opened for inspection to all who may desire to examine it, and see the presents and gifts received from friends. On the same day we will have the donation party, which will consist in the reception and exhibition of all donations to the Orphanage. All are invited to come, and contribute, if they feel disposed, anything-provi sions, furniture, shoes, clothing, hats, tin ware, crockery,&c.; and those who do not come can send gifts by some friend. We hope to have arrangements with Col. Peake for an extra train to run to the head of the road, where persons will be met with conveyanees, and landed in Clinton for one fare from Newberry to Clinton.

Republican, while one scattering vote, cast by an inde pendent, made a perfect dead-lock. When the fourte'enth ballot was called for Dr. Ransom arose and said: "This balloting has gone on long enough. I have not sought this posi tion ; I do not desire it; I have cast my vote twice to defeat myself; but the people seem to desire that this con vention shall be organized. I have made every effort to effect a compro mise ; failing in this I now cast my vote, let the consequences .be what they will, for Edward Ransom, of Tyrell County, as president of this conven tion." The ballot was announced-Ransom 60, Dockery 58, Durham 1, so the dead-lock was ended by Dr. Ransom voting for himself, Dockery voting for Durham. M7arried, On the 12th inst., by Rev, M.
