Fixz!!!-A destructive fire occurred at Nmety Six, S. C., December 21st, by which four stores valued at $20,000 were burned. The further spread of the conflagration, with i probable destruction of the whole town and loss of several hundred thousand dollars worth of property, and many lives, was pre- 4 vented by the arrival of a Great American Fire Extinguisher, an Agent happening to come in town at the nick of time. For full t sOO particulars, see the Abbeville Medium and Newberry HERALD of the following week. Mr. P. P. Toale, of Charleston, S. C., is f the General Southern Agent for the Great American Fire Extinguisher, and will answer all inqairies in regard to the same. 4-tf. MESSRs. KINGSLAiD & HEATH, like t the rest of mankind who are endeavor ing to please the public by supplying I gcods at cheap prices, are up in the race for public favor. Their stock of China, Glass, Crockery, Wood, Tin and Iron ware and Fancy Articles is of end less variety and superior excellence, t and at such prices as cannot fail to suit t the depleted pockets of the people. Don't forget that this establishment is located under the Columbia Hotel, 1 Columbia, S. C. 3-tf t To SMOKERS.-Messrs. Perry & 1 Slawson, the popular segar dealers in Columbia, are always up with the times, and therefore to keep up with the pop ular idea they offer great bargains to smokers. It is astonishing how they can afford to offer segars as cheap as t they do, but truth is stranger than fic tion. and it is only necessary to try them to be convinced. Just think of I getting a whole box of segars for $1.25; think of it, and if you have the money send at once for a supply. Think of it! and if you have not so small a sum, weep because of your impecuniosity.

Its wonderful suc cess, during the past nine -years, is ample proof of the wisdomn of its founders. This ompany now extends its business overI nearly every section of the continent; and by its prudent and conservative management has won favor wherever it has been properly represented. The chief business of the Co m pany has been done in the South, and in this section especially does it propose to work. -.-It promises Its patrons all the real benefits that can possibly accrue from life insurance. The interests of policy holders, are carefully guarded, and claims under its policies are -met as they mature. There is scarcely a neighborhood in South Carolina in which a death claim has not been paid by this great Virginia corporation. 2-eow. LAURENs R. R.

Thomas, the superintendent of this deservedly popu lar Institution appears in this issue, and and we take pleasure in calling atten tion to it. Parents and guardians hav ing boys to educate cannot send them to a better school. The advantages af forded there are many. The friends of our esteemed towns man, Col. R. S. Chick, will be rejoiced to learn that he is slowly recovering from his late dangerous attack, and hopes are entertained that he will soon be out. It is gratifying to learn that Dr. Wmn. Kinard is reported in an improving condition. DEATH,.-Dr. C. C. Higgins, the eld est son of Mr. F. B. Higgins, died on Tuesday last, the 18th, at his residence in Vaughnsville, and his remains brought here and interred at Rosemont Ceme tery by the Masonic Fraternity, on Thursday afterncon. Dr. Higgins was in his 53rd year of age, and had an exten sive practice in the profession which he adorned with great ability. THE PRESENTMIENT OF THE GRAND JURY.-We publish in this issue the' Presentment of the Grand Jury in full. It is a source of gratification to find that h tatre ofnhulic affairs is, in g-eneral, rRANSFERS OF REAL E-TATE. Mary N. Fair to Thomas M. Lake, 7 1-5 acres, $90. J. A. Enlow to Jno. M.

We state with pleasure, for the bene it of the lovers of the Drama int our ommunity, that Col. Dodamead, in the )elief that it would be promotive of the -ecreation and amusement of visitors, ias authorized that tickets over the xrcenville and Columbia R. R., sold 'om this point at one fare the round rip to attend the Booth performance at Jolumbia, will hold good for TEN DAYS 'om date of issuance-thus giving the Iolders the convenient and pleasing op ortunity to visit places of interest in he city, as well as witness the grand >Prformance of Booth in the favorite iistorical play of Hamlet. DIAL'S HARDWARE STORE.-Mr. J. 3. Dial, long and favorably known to he many readers of the HERALD, hrows out his banner this week in shape >f a well displayed card which will at ract general attention. It is well known hat his stock is always kept up to the iighest standard not only in variety, )ut in the character of his goods. We renture to say that there is no article nanufactured of iron or steel that is iot to be found in his store. So well trranged also is his magnificent stock hat the purchaser can make his selec ions with unusual facility, in that he vill not have to stop and think and iunt up memoranda as to what is ieeded, for he can see displayed before ii in a neat manner hundreds of things sually kept by other dealers in out f-the-way draws and corners. Dial is , man who does not hide his light under L bushel,and another thing which speaks vell for him is that he is not afraid of >rinter's ink. In his present card he nakes special mention of certain ar icles. Attention is called to it. THE Coulr adjourned last Friday, fter a session of two weeks. Its whole ime was occupied with criminal busi 1ess. Arthur A. Glover, indicted for he killing of Gomillion, was acquitted. several minor cases of assault and bat ery and of larceny, of no particulai' in ;erest, were disposed of. The great in erest, however, of the people was cen red in the case of the State against'W. E. Thompson, who had been indicted 'or the murder of Mr. Hayne D, Reid, >f Pomaria.- The whole jury was comn osed of colored men who found the de endant-a colored man-guilty of mur ler after only ten minutes considera ion. The jury certainly deserve credit r thus promptly meting out justice to he guilty and not allowing themselves o be carried away by the prejudice of ~olor. The defendant was very ably lefended by Messrs. Carlisle and Geo. Fhnstone. Judge Moses sentenced ;he murderer to be hung on the 25th of Bebruary next. Our young townsman, James L. Blease, acquitted himself very ndsomely in his first effort at the bar, md his Honor sustained him in the nice point of law which he had submitted Eor decision. It was remarked by one of the coun sel engaged in the defense of the pris ners accused of the murder of Mr. Eayne D. Reid of Pomaria, that there xisted a strong public sentiment against the accused. While this may be true in the very strongest import of the terms, there is another fact in connec tion with the same matter that has at tracted our attention.- It is the fairness f the trial the accused has met with and the patience with which the people awaited the due judgment of law. The brutal details of this tragedy are well known to all the people of the country, and although these details are unusual even in the annals of crime, yet our people have not in a single in stance made an effort to take the law in their own hands. They have been o often accused of being regardless of the provisions of the law that we desire to take advantage of every opportunity to vindicate their reputation which has been so unjustly aspersed. And we must say that in no community could these accused persons meet with more fairness than here. We commend our people for the forbearance which they have exhibited and the manner . in which they have sustained their reputa tion as law-abiding citizens. We also commend them for their zeal in en deavoring to ferret out the perpetrators of the murder. THE MODEL STORE.-One of the neatest, most popular and best appointed drug stores in Columbia is -that one over which our highly esteemed friend Dr. E. E. Jackson presides, and it was our privilege to visit him last Wednes day, and to find him in a serene frame of mind and upon his proper business legs. The dull times have not sobered him nor checked the flow of that spring of human kindness which wells up from his heart. We found him the same gushing youth as in the olden time, and right glad too, to find that his business was a little better than that of the "just middling" character which commonly prevails. The Doctor is a "curous" man, makes wvonderful cures and caters .largely to the taste of the curious. The latest attraction with him is a colored rara avis-whose mouth-piece is more valuable than a silver mine, for with it he can pioduce sounds of birds and pecially in the long, tremulous, demi semi quaver on the upper notes. Cir cular and buzz saws, planing machines, &c., are eclipsed by this wonderful darkey-and the cat trobpe across the way at Miot's, so graphically described by the Register's reporter, refuse their meat and hide their diminished heads when he performs. But we cannot dwell longer on this subject, and merely add that the Doctor is fortunate in hav ing secured this wonder, and we trust that the next time he visits our town he will do his appreciative friends the favor of bringing that darkey along with him. In the meantime if anything is needed in his particular line from abroad, such as superior cologne, toilet soaps, extracts or medicaments, send to Jackson. ABOUT THE TOWN AND COUNTY. Strange weather for the season, six days balmy and soft-to-day the heav ens are preparing for snow. Push farm operations-take advan tage of all favorable circumstances. Cherish your hens and cows and sell eggs and butter, every little makes a a mickle. Economy is wealth-and our farmer friends are earnestly advised to grow wealthy and-pay their debts. Be careful in carrying out the plan of economy not to cut off such things as are conducive to prosperity or happi ness. Among them we include the Newberry HERALD. Do without some thing else first. The many friends who have taken another year's stock in the HERALD have our thanks. New subscribers are coming in every day-accept thanks friends. Affairs this year will be of a stirring character-subscribe therefore and keep informed. Be advised that wood is taken for subscription to the HERALD, but it must not be expected that we take a $1.50 load for $2.50. This is unreasonable. Saturday last was a lively day. Num bers of people were in town and mer chants were made happy. Though eggs are falling'we hear of no breakage. The fall is. in price. The roads are as dry and firm as in the month of July. The bird hunters of Jalapa are silent on the partridge question. Court closed on Friday without even getting through the criminal docket-if we had a gas company in Newberry to economise the supply which is wasted more work might be accomplished. A little boy the other night complain ed of something in his stomach. He said he yeckoned it was dust, as he had been sweeping in the afternoon. The same chap when asked what he was made of, said a stick of wood. He's a hard stick. The worst stick on record-being stuck for a year's subscription. Some persons under inspiration of the fine weather are commencing to gar den. Our advice is-be very eareful where seed are placed. For the pres ent a dry box inside the house is the best place. Freezing weather and rain storms will yet come. Be particular. Next Monday will not be Sale-day, but the following Monday will-readers in arrears, and those who are not yet subscribers, will please bear us in mind during the interval, and come prepared on that day to do us good, There is a package in the Post Office at this place directed to Bush River Lodge of Good Templars. Mr. Boone will take pleasure in delivering it to the proper parties. We judge of business by the sounds which come to our sanctum from below stairs. When the clerks cut the pigeon wing and whistle gems from favorite operas, we know it is dull. On Mon day there were some light fantastic pas sages, and several solo-u ds. An immense quantity' of meat has spoiled in this County. The pressure on our columns this week has encroached on this depart ment, and many interesting 'items are out in the cold.

BOONE, P. B!. The MYaintenance of Health. The maintenance of health is often more difficult than its recovery. Vitiated condi tions of the atmosphere, unhealthy occupa tions, extremes of heat or cold, and constant exposure to rough weather, are all so many provocations of disease. There is but one sure way of effectually guarding the system when thus subjected to influences prejudicial to health,.and that is to establish,by judicious tonic and alterative medication, vigor of the body and regularity of its functions. The properties of an invigorant and corrective are hippily combined in Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which, at the same time that it in fuses unwonted vitality into the system, over comes all tendency of the stomach, liver, bowels and urinary organs to deviate from regularity in the discharge of functions upon which the welfare of the entire physical or ganization is dependent. Health cannot be more effectually maintained than by using the Bitters. Jan. 5, 1-4c. Commercial.. NEwBERRY, January 2,5.-Cotton market continues lively with good demand-best grade bring 12 cents.

Moses, Judge of the Seventh Judicial Circuit : The Grand Jury for Newberry County in the State aforesaid, at the January Term of the Court of General Sessions for said -County, respectfully present to your Honor: In the discharge of our duty, we have examined the various public offices for said County. We find the office of County Treasurer in good condition, his books well kept, and that he has deposited the funds passing through his hand as the law directs. We find the Auditor's office well kept, and all in good order. We find the Clerk of Court's office in good condition, the books and papers in neat order and well kept, and that he has kept the moneys belonging to his office deposited in bank as directed by law. The Judge of Probate's office we find in good condition, the books and papers well kept, and funds regularly deposited in bank. We find the Sheriff's office in fair condition and the books kept in regular form, but we would call the attention of the Court to the fact that sundry complaints have been made to this Grand Jury, that said Sheriff has at various times collected moneys for his office, and that he has either refused or neglected to pay out said moneys when called for by the parties to whom it belonged, and that he has not kept the funds belonging to his office deposited in bank as the law requires, and we would further call the attention of the Court to the fact, that the Sheriff has at various 4-mes alloWed prisoners, both those held for trial and those under sentence of the Court, to go at large, and we would respectfully request of the Court, that the Sheriff be hereafter required to strictly comply. with the law in all these particulars. It has also 'come to the knowledge of this Jury that a United States prisoner, now undergoing sentence in the Jail of Newberry, has been entrusted by the Sheriff with the keys of said Jail. We have examined the books and papers of the County Commissioners, and find them well kept, and so far as we can ascertain, the funds have been properly paid out and.youched. We would recommend that said Commissioners hereafter be required to let out the contract for Physician to the Poor House and Jail to the lowest bidder, provided it be made by a competent physician, and that said Commissioners be required to be more particular in future as to the letting out of contracts of every kind, so as to secure the employment of competent workmen, and to see thath all work be faithfully done. Having examined into the acts and doings of the Jury Commissioners, we have to report that while we find nothing in the discharge of their duties that we would report as an absolute failure, to discharge the duties assigned them, yet we would ask the Court to instrnct the [said Commissioners in regard to their duty, and especially as to the qualifica tions of the persons whose names they shall place in the jury-box. We are of the opinion that while they have perhaps not been culpable, they have been neg ligent in that respect. The Sehool 'Commissioner makes a fair showing of his acts and doings, and his papers are regularly kept. He reports that there has been paid to the free schools of the County for the past year, from Nov. 1874 to Nov.-1875, the sum of $9,850.68. We have examined the Coroner?s ooks, and find them properly kept, and so far as we can judge he has performed his duties. We recommend that the County Commissioners be required to fanish him a book, in whicli to record his transactions in such cases when he acts over the Sheriff. We find the books of Trial Justices Kilgore and Slider in good order, and moneys all properly turned over. We called on Trial Justice Thomas for an exhibit of his books and papers, which he failed to make, stating that he had no regular office, and that his books and papers were so scattered that he could not furnish them, We recom mend that the Court take such action in this case as mn its judgment may think best. We have examined the Poor House (by a committee from our body) and find it well kept, the paupers properly cared for, There ate some repairs neces sary to be made on the buildings, and we recommend that this be done as soon as practicable. In our examination of the Jail, we find it much in need of repairs, quite a number of the ceils cannot be used, on account of having been previously broken. The copductors for carrying of' water from the roof need repairs at once, as the walls are being injured. We recommend that the necessary repairs be made as early as possible, and we further recommend that the keeper of the jail be required to pay more attention to the cleanliness of the cells in which prisoners are confined, as we find some of them in a filthy condition. We find the entrance to the main stairway encumbered with corn, fodder and shucks, and recommend that it be at once removed, inasmuch as we con sider it endangers the building from fire. We find a room in the north end of We find the streets in the town of Newberry in a fair condition with a few exceptions, and would mention Caldwell street at the crossing of the G. & C. R.R., and the side-walk on same street from Jack Thompson's to the foot bridge at Hair's tan-yard, and to the side-walk on Adams street, from Scott's creek to Rosemont Cemetery, as requiring early attention. The public roads in the County, so far as we are informed, are in a toler ably fair condition, with the following exceptions, to-wit: The road from Lang ford's Mill to Smyrna Church, from Dr. Boozer's to Bush River Church, from Blease's Mill to Mrs. Paysinger's, from L, J. Jones' to Mr. Crotwell's, fiom Henry Halfacre's to Jas. Moffatts, and from Henry Dominick's to Jacob Wheeler's old place. We recommend that the County Commissioners be required to have all the public highways in the County put in a proper condition at an early day. The following named bridges have been reported to us as in a dangerous condition, to-wit: Over Little River near Mr. Wm. Langford's plantation, over Bush River at Langford's Mill, at Lindsay's, and at Blease's Mill, and over Enoree River at Sondley's. We recommend that the County Commissioners be required to have them properly repaired at once. The bridge over Cannon's creek on the Columbia road, near Pomaria, is reported to us as in an impassible con dition, and has been in this condition for a length of time, greatly to the inconvenience of citizens in that portion of the County, and to the travelling public generally. We are informed that the attention of the County Com missioners has been repeatedly directed to this bridge, but that no action has been taken by them, We recommend that the .Commissioners be required to repair or rebuild said bridge at an early day. We have examined the passenger platform belonging to the Greenville & Columbia R. R., and which passengers on said road are compelled to use in getting on and off the cars. We find this platform in a dangerous condition, and said platform is so narrow that it is nearly always on the arrival and depar ture of trains obstructed by baggage and Express freight, so that ladies and others can pass only with much-difficulty and danger. A citizen of this town and County has been recently injured by falling through said platform. We would therefore recommend that the Court take such action as shall compel said Greenville & Columbia R. R. Co. to rectify the matter complained of as soon as possible, say within thirty days from the date of such notice. We refer the Court to A. G. Maybin, Peter Rodel sperger and Win. R. Lane to prove the facts in this case. We also present said Greenville & Columbia R. R. Co. for the habitual obstruction of the public highway at Helena, by allowing the cars of said company to stand across said public highway, to the very great inconve nience of persons travellhng on said road; there is no way for persons to pass around said obstruction, and are frequently delayed in crossing as much as a half hour at a time or more. We refer the Court to Messrs. J. K. Schumpert, S. C. Merchant, John Sat terwhite, B. R. Mangum and D. W. T. Kibler to prove these facts. We would present as a public nuis ance the house on Pratt street in town of Newberry, and near G. & C. R. R. depot, and kept or occupied by one Henry Gaines. Also the house on same street, kept or occupied by Lloyd. Henderson, and also the house in rear of last named, and occupied by Walter Benson. We refer- the Court to Messrs. Harry Scott, Peter Simmons, W. H. Harris, C. M. Harris, W. L. and A. L. Snead, J. H. Gaillard and James Lathrop to prove the facts in this case. We would beg to call the attention of the Court to the fact that on the organi zation of this Grand Jury, and under the direction of the Court, we proceeded to what we supposed was _the Grand Jury room for the transaction of busi ness, which said room we found in an utterly unfit condition for our occupa. tion, nearly half of the space of the room being covered with wood, and only three or four chairs for the use of eighteen men, and on complaint to the Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners as to the condition of the room, he informed us that the Grand Jury had no room so far as he knew, that this was the County Com missioners' room, If this be the fact, we would recommEend that a suitable room be procured and furnished for the use - of the Grand Jury of the County.
