HOT SUiPPER.-Attention is called t notice of an entertainment to be give: by the ladies of Mt. Bethel on Frida evening. It will be an enjoyable oces sion, and the object being a charitabl one let-there be a large attendance. Was Gov. Hayes captured at th Battle of Chancellorsville? There is man in town who says a Gen. Haye was captured at that battle by the Cor federates, and that he wps one of th soldiers detached to guard him. Lewis Gary lives in the upper pa~ 1e A SMALL AFFAIR.-Newberry is the s, banner county in more respects than e. I one. This week we saw a little check which carried figures on its face calling - for $10,723.15, which amount was paid of for one lot of cotton of two hundred and s twelve bags. The cotton was raised by an enterprising farmer of Newberrq S. and was as pretty a lot as we have ever seen, judging from the samples. We were informed by the purchaser that he had turned the entire lot over to the Piedmont Factory of Greenville. e COAT IN COURT.-Isaiah Maffett, a r- country darkey, was up before the g Council Tuesday night charged with stealing a coat from Harmon's store last week. The charge was proved, and the Council gave sentence for a fine of $15, or thirty days in jail. Isaiah a planked down the currency. The coat was recovered. e Another darkey will be tried this (Tuesday) evening for stealing a pair of shoes from the same store. The evi . dence against him is pretty strong. The t police deserve credit for detecting these d fellows. s JUST A WORD.-NO doubt, we appear sometimes to pit our nose into other people's business, and to manifest an undue curiosity about matters not per taining to us. Individually, we have no such curiosity; but, professionally, we have. We desire to know what is [t going on in the town and county, so as to interest our readers. According to our opinion, a county paper ought to give a large portion of its attention and e space to local affairs. To get this local news we have to "nose around" a little occasionally; sometimes we catch the t scent, and then have to trail it up to the source, so as to get it reliable. Now, our friends can save us an immense amount of trouble, and do us a favor that will be highly appreciated, by giv t ing us, in person, or by letter or card, any matter of public interest that trans s pires in the county. And this they can do with little or no trouble to them selves. Indeed, if it were any trouble we sbuld not ask them to do it. d THE LECTURE THAT WAS NOT DE LTVERED.-Mr. J. Alexander McFadden, of Baltimore, the popular lecturer and reader, was to have given an entertain ment at Temperance Hall Friday eve ning. The notice was very short, and ya rain came on about -the appointed Shour; so only a few persons were pres ent. Mr. McFadden therefore postponed rthe entertainment indefinitely. A few ladies and gentlemen were invited to a Mr. Moorman's, where Mr. McFadden read,- for their entertainment, several pieces, mostly humorous, in the negro, SDutch and Irish dialects. The .reading owas excellent, and was greatly enjoyed ~by those who were so fortunate as to Shear it. We hope the lecturer will come e -again, and that he will give more ex n tensive notice of his cmn, so as to secure a large audience. e JALAPA ITEMs.-Everybody has the L- wheoping cough at Jalapa. Stealing progresses-, and one.of the victims is Mr. Thompson Connor. The t ties from a bale of his cotton were bro r ken off last Wednesday night and one r hundred and fifty pounds of cotton sto e len. Mr. Connor says he would give ) the thief the cotton had he asked for it, i. so that he would have been saved re e packing the bale. e Mr. W. C. Sligh had ten fine, fat, e frolicsome hens taken from him on the e same night. He will not have any eggs to spare for some time. A colored woman died very suddenly about one week ago. She was found near a fence she was building up, with a rail across her breast. She had pre Sviously had an attack of apoplexy. Dr. Willie Folk, judging from ap dpearances, will soon occupy that four acre lot. On Saturday last he was out Swith coat off, fixing to fence it around. Th'e next thing will be a dwelling. The same gentleman has a fine horse Scolt named Tilden, and Mr. Willie Sligh a mule colt equally fine, named Hampton. h THE TAX.-U p to February 21st, g $109,090.86 had been paid in. Ctharles r ton leads off with $827,907.84, Abbeville. t- following with $6,700.00, Newberry w comes next with $6,157.23. There has t- been a kind of generous competition d between Abbeville and Newberry. They ec were running side by side till the books 3. were closed here on the 5th instant; - they have been reopened and we must e catch up again, Newberry has paid r. more than the tenth asked for. Abbe ville has paid, in addition to the amount s above named, $3,150 for county pur i- poses. ir The amount paid cannot be regarded . as a test of loyalty, for some counties harc much larger and wealthier than ,~ others, and the books were opened at d different dates in different counties. e The response all over the State has ec been all that could be wished for i prompt, cheerful and liberal. Many nl colored people have paxd-in Barnwell S, over 800; in other counties, large n numbers. Though the sums contributed by them are necessarily small, yet the simplCefact of their paying, even if it be e only one-tensh of their poll-tax, is exceed v- ceedingly important, and will have is great weight and influence upon Con et gress whenever South Carolina affairs se shall be brought before that body for es settlement. Therefore, let every man mc w,ho a olorerd men in hisemoya in Frank Leslie's Popular Mntly, or of the best and cheapest Monthlic just received at the Herald Book Stor WASTING THE SWEETNESS AGAIN.

Wilson, who is agent for ti following fertilizers: Pacific, Wand< - Bahama and Rhodes'. As he offers i variety, and each of them of establishE reputation, the farmer has only to mal up his mind to puichase; he can't mi: it which ever choice lie makes. "VALENTINE."--We would be ur grateful and undeservingof the good the our correspondent "Valentine" woul have fall to our lot did we not expre: . gratitude. We thank him heartill and trust that each of his friendly wisl es may be realized from, the fine han the new subscribers with the necessar - tin, even down to a long and happ life, with crown, stars and all. A SLIP BETWEEN CUP AND LIP.-] is not our intention to make our tow readers melancholy; but as a local car not be lost, we are obliged to tell thei how much they have lost. One of th finest, fattest beeves ever raised in th town came within an ace of bein spread on Holly's stall. But owner sE his pegs on the animal higher than Holl could reach, and Newberry has lost. PERSONAL.-Mr. Lewis W. Simkin1 of Chappell's Depot, son of the gallan Col. Jno. Simkins, who fell at the bal tie of Secessionville, June 16, 1862, 1 studying law in the office of Moorma: & Schumpert. Mr. Simeon Pratt, formerly of Chai M pell's Depot, is now living in town. Dr. Thos. White, of Beaufort, droppe into our sanctum Friday. Buy YOURSELF RrcH.-On next Moi day will be afforded a chance to the pe ple of Newberry to buy themselves ricd as Mr. T. F. Harmon will on that da sell out his entire remaining stock< goods, consisting of Dry Goods, Boot and Shoes, with Platform and Counte Scales, Show Cases, &c. Do not fail t attend and secure bargains; such chance will not offer soon again. THE~ HAMPTON TAX.-Mr. U. I Whites has his books open again t -receive the ten per cent. tax, givin; an opportunity to those who have nc paid yet to do so. One thing we urg upon all supporters of Gov. Hampto: is to induce every colored man the can to pay his ten per cent. Advane him the money, if need be; it won't b much. This is a matter of great in: Iportance. JUVYENILE CLASS.-Prof. Evans, the suggestion of some of the olde heads of the tewn, proposes anothe praise meeting of the children of all th Churches on this afternoon (Tuesday at 4 o'clock, in the Methodist ChureJ [ The object is the formation of a juveni] class. Thirteen lessons will constitut the course, for which only S1 will b charged. Parents and teachers of th various Churches are invited to atten' as well as all the children.

TooK ADVANTAGE OF HDi.-A ver - clever looking tobacco peddler, wit - three plugs of the weed protrudin -from his breast, approached one of ou sharpest clerks on Friday. He expec ~ed to sell. Newberry, however, saa the tobacco, and knowing what he wan 'ed. made up his mind to take the win out of his sails by asking him if b s could sell him some of the same articl< I The peddler was staggered for a m< , ment, and after recovering asked if I had been eating razor soup for dinne: Peterson's Ladies' Magazine in in SFebruary number, takes an unwarrai table liberty with the name of our fa Williamston correspondent.

The weather-it never fails. Not so with promises-they are still like pie crust. You know how that is, reader. A fine shower of rain on Thursday night last. It was needed. It was nothing but a handkerchief, but how she laughed. We shall have something for the boys in our next. The common experience in town is that when a dray wagon is wanted one cannot be found. The Editors of this paper made a few narrow escapes last week from flog ging. Wagons from North Carolina brought into town several loads of the "weed" last week. A party of gentlemen were out Sat urday morning after foxes. Haven't heard what success they met with. That bachelor says he is not half so unsophisticated as we represented him to be. He knows a thing or two. Locals are so extremely scarce this week that we would bless the man who would help to fill this column. An observant individual says he saw several loads of pine straw hauled out into a field as manure. It will do the crop but little good. Mr. Cash will soon have a fine gran ite pavement laid in front of his store. Leavell & Speers are getting the blocks ready. A servant girl, to prove her thorough conversion, and entire change, said that now she sweeps under the mats. When a sinner she swept around them. The Editor is not the only person who has lost poultry. Many persons in the county say they are constantly losing chickens. Messrs. Hipp and Sligh, the crack fishers of the county, expect to have an elegant time in March, and have ex tended an invitation to this office. Thanks. These gentlemen report seeing sev aral loads of manure lying in the road as they came to town Tuesday. What was the object? Blessed is -the man who minds his own business. Some men make excuse that times are so dull they are forced through lack of their own to attend to that of others. Blessed is 'the man who gives his wife ten cents without asking what she is going to do with it. Blessed if he has it to give. Blessed-again-is the wom'a that don't scold when the stove-pipe falls down on the dinner table, and-blessed is the man that can fix it up without swearirig. We have been grieved, beyond ex pression, to learn that a few people are disposed to doubt some things they see in newspapers. But some people are naturally skeptical. The Editors are not the only unfor tunates-an old gentleman tells us he went out collecting and only got a few eggs. Everybody wanted to pay in green pine. It's a shame. Mr. Moody never uttered a greater truth tban when he said "If Noah had waited for a committee to build the ark, the keel wouldn't have been laid to this day." A committee of one will do. Whoever heard of an anvil .being stolen? Mr. W. W. Waldrop had one stolen from his blacksmith shop several days ago. The thief got in by pulling off the weather-boarding. The anvil weighs about one hundred pounds. The negroes say the police guard the old College building every night to keep them from digging up "dat $20, 000,000 under de lef wing." They probably have some indistinct recollec tion of the laying of the corner-stone. A fresh lot of school books received at the Herald Book Store. A few copies of Chatterbox on hand, which will be sold at cost. There is no other book published that will afford a child so much pleasure as the Chatterbox. This is the time for setting hens and we advise poultry raisers to save the first. pullets, that they may have plenty of eggs during Winter. Beef liver chopped fine is good for chickens kept in small yards. "What men need wives for?" This is the question very easily answered: Any ordinary person who has poked his head from under the bedclothes on a frosty morning and listened to the melody of his wife's ax on the wood shed floor will have no trouble in an swering that inquiry.

GooD.-A young gent in town, wl ias been playing the beau quite exte ;ively, received the following as I Valentine: OxNLY NINETEEN. Jnly nineteen! Why I thought, to be sui le was twenty-five, or, at least twenty-foi :t is very distressing, but plain to be seen, )ne cannot even flirt with a man of ninetee )h! why did I ne'er try to find out his age ?re my heart's young affections were much engaged?
