With the coming of Spring, comes a general going over in household af fairs. The tidy housewife looks over and into everything from the cellar to the attic; kitchen, pantry, dining room and bed room are examined, and of course many indispensable -articles are either badly worn, broken or alto gether missing. It follows naturally that all these different things must be re placed, and the next question is, where are they.to be had at the lowest prices? This is easily answered. Messrs. Kings land & Heath, under the Columbia Ho tel, Columbia, S.

Mr. Cash's New Milliner, Mrs. A. M. Smith, arrived safely on Saturday last, and brought with her the pleasing news that she had selected a New Btock of Millinery and Faney Goods . for Mr. Cash, far superior to anything ever bought South since she went with Mesrs. Armstrong, Cator & Co., just fifteen years ago. Young ladies buy ing Mrs. Smith's New Style Hats and Fancy Goods will never be troubled with young men who form returning boards.

Their stock is full and em braces all the various popular brands. They have just received and offer for sale cheap one hundred and fifty boxes of choice Tobacco.

M C lary, proprietor of the celebrated South ern Saratoga, just over the river, came into town last Thursday to look after *b~ ~w~nitP hagin for his sprinz that is PUBLIC MEETING. We are requested to ar.nounce that 1 there will be a meeting of the. citizens of Newberry in the Court House the night of April 2nd, in the interest of t Newberry College. All persons are t< invited, and it is hoped there will be a large turn-out of both ladies and gen-t tl tlemen. All societies or other organi zations, whose time of meeting falls on the above mentioned hight, are earnest ly requested to postpone their meeting r on that night. f Music.-The most popular song of the day is "Gathering Shells from the Sea Shore," composed by Will L. Thompson, for a copy of which we are u indebted to W. L. Thompson & Co., o East Liverpool, Ohio. Our thanks are tendered the publishers for this pretty E song. Mr. Edward Scholtz lost during the P late fire a pair of small scales, such as $ :re used by silversmiths. *Knowing g that they were not destroyed, he will be glad to have them returned to him. it s Mr. William Satterwhite's gin-house b was broken into a few nights ago, and % quantity of fodder stolen. That sec tion of the county seems to be infested t with rogues. The farmers find it al- w most impossible to keep either cows or t hogs. They had better organize a g rhief Detective Society, as the citizens a of Caldwell Township have done, f Don't forget that Thursday, March e: the 29th inst., is the day for the Grand o Jpening of Millinery and Fancy Goods B it J.

Cash died in a Sewberry the 20th instant, at the resi ence of her brother, J. D. Cash. She fell a victim to that terrible disease Ty d phoid Pneumonia. The funeral ser- I rices were held Wednesday in the Bap- l ist Church, Rev. F. W. Eason, the Pas- t ;or, officiating. Miss Cash was a mem ser of the Baptist Church, and an ex- r mplary Christian. She was buried in a Rosemont Cemetery. b GREENVILLE HOTEL.-We take pleas-P ire in directing attention to the card S n another eolumn, which announces :o the travelling public that the areenville Hotel is now in the hands >f Col. A. M, Speights. Our word for :t, he will keep his house in apple pie ce yrder, and give ample satisfaction to all who favor it with their presence. One $ >f the great requisites of a good hotel eeper is to feed well, and this he knows how to do.2 THAT TURKEY SHOOIG.-Our local interviewed the young man who did the 4f :urkey shooting as reported a few weeks ago. He acknowledged the fault of $ getting on the blind side of his father in going to the turkey blind during that S: ather's absence, but endeavored to n< show that it was on Saturday afternoon md not Sunday. A last year's almanac n< aisled him. He says further that he tilled three turkeys instead of two as 14 eported-and all at one shot,.a Come and try Cash's New Patent tair Case since they have been can- tr rassed. A lady fifty years of age, who bi hought it impossible for her to ascend th hem, after being induced to try them la nce, when going up remarked con- st inually, "This is very easy, easy, easy ti ndeed." Nothing like them. Don't T al to try them Thursday. h t. J. D. CASH. Ir EVERYBODY.-The amounts subscribed te or the relocation of Newberry College ti< in our midst should be considered only p, in the light of loans or investments 0, which come back with interest. Every se business interest will be benefitted. 4, Dne hundred students, together with the faculty and their families, will spend B onsiderable money. Think of it, bus- lh ness men, and increase your subscrip- , ions. Every clerk in the town will be helping himself in lending help to this cause-as it will insure greater busi ness, with the chances of more perma- y a nent situations. Everybody should sub-a scribe-no matter how small the amount -and do so at once. GENEROUS.-We clip the following ~ 'rom our excellent contemporary, thet Anderson Intelligencer. The kindness ' f the Intelligenceer and the Young Men's ~ Thristian Association is gratefully ap preiated:b AN APPEAL TO THE CHARITABLE. The Newberry HERALD states that some of the people who were burned :ut by the recent fire in that town are in straitened circumstances, and have n' been reduced to almost absolute pov- si erty. Mrs. Whaley, who has several C small children dependent on her for a support, lost nearly everything she possessed, including home and store, ce ank there are others sadly in need of st aid.

Arthur Simmons has opened loarding House at the corner of Nanc nd Friend streets. The central loco ion of the house and its arrangement )gether with Mr. Simmons' well-knowi ualifications, as former proprietor c ae Glenn Springs Hotel, satisfy us thi he Simmons House will become popu ir. THE RIGHT KIND OF SYMPATHY. n response to our call for aid, we hav eceived a valuable express packag )r Mrs. Whaley from Mrs. Moore, c nderson. This generous gift come om a total stranger to Mrs. W.; on rho knows how to sympathize with th nfortunate. Mrs.IMoore is the wido' f the gallant Colonel Jno. V.

Cozzens for thi eneral sufferers by the fire. The finest line of Dress Goods eyei aown in this or any other market is t< e seen at Cash's. It PERSONAL.-Mr. Jas. H. Hardin, o ie Chester Reporter, was in town las eek. He says the boys he taught a ie Academy five years ago hav( rown out of his recollection-but thel re not as tall as he is yet, and ven w of them ever will be. Mr. McD.

NEWBERRY COLLEGE. - Only one I week more. Synod meets next Tues a day. The question will be decided then -finally. Our people have done well so far; but they must do more yet. We have several formidable rivals. New ) berry must increase her subscriptions. She is able to do it. Remember that not one cent of the money subscribed is to leave the place. It will all be used right here for constructing the build ings. We will not speak now of the innumerable and great benefits to be derived from the re-location of the Col lege here. These are patent to all. But what we wish to impress upon the minds of the citizens, is the one impor tant, inevitable fact, that Newberry must make the best offer to the Synod, or she will not get the College. Now, let everybody who feels an interest in the matter lend a helping hand. It is not expected nor desired that anybody should give beyond his means, but it is earnestly desired that all should contribute something. Be as liberal as your circumstances will allow. Don't wait for others; act at once. The time is too short for further delay. If the people of Newberry let this op portunity slip they will make a great mistake. A NEW CoMET DISCOVERED.-On the night of the 22nd instant, a strange object made its appearance suddenly and unexpectedly in the heavens. Prof. Comstock, of the Michigan University, .thus describes it in the Ann Arbor Eve .ning Mercury of the 23d: "Lastnight, at ,twenty minutes past 10 o'clock, while I ,was examining a small star of the tenth -magnitude in the constellation Capri .cbrnus, just above the horizon, I perceit ed something of a greenish color passing before my vision. Thinking it a piece of green gauze that I use as a cover for the telescope while not in use, I rose from my seat to remove it; but casting my eyes' in the direction of the star I had just been examining, I perceived - the strangest object it has ever been my lot to witness-a large globular shaped ball, of a dark green hue, about .twice the size of the planet Jupiter. * * * * At first it appeared to be stationary, but after examining more closely through the telescope I detected that it was gradually moving from West to East. I watched it till it disappeared, which happened an hour and a half be fore dawn. * * * * I am utterly at a loss to explain- this strange phenomenon-nothing like it was ever seen before. The most probable so lution that presents itself to my mind is that it is some star in the pro cess of combustion, and that the green color is owing to the presence of a large quantity of chlorine in its combination. * * * * I shall watch for it again to-night." He did watch for it, and it again appeared, iising about three quarters of an hour later than on the preceding night. Many others have been examining it with the best tele scopes, but no satisfactory solution has been reached. The matter is creating considerable excitement in New York, I Brooklyn and other large cities. The .comet, star, or whatever it is, will rise to . ight (Tuesday) at 2 o'clock, and three quarters of an hour later each succeed ing night. Astronomers say that it is becoming less brilliant, and seems to be going away, which fact tends to cor roborate the theory of Prof. Comstock, that it is a burning star. We have seen it only once, and that was Monday morning just before it disappeared. By sitting up till 12 or 1 o'clock you can get a fine view of it. Look about six degrees North of East, and you will have no trouble in finding it. An Earniest Appeal. Friends. fellow-citizens, debtors! Hear us! We were in a strait before the late dreadful fire, but now we are absolutely straight ened out, and if ever a period existed which made it neces sary for us to call on our friends to aid us by paying up, now is certainly that time. We make an earnest appeal, therefore, to one and all to come and pay us a por tion, if not all that they owe us, that we may be enabled to resume business again. Our losses are heavy, and we feel assured that the friends we have favored in better times will generously come ~nd hAm ns in this [ ABOUT THE TowN AiD COUNTY. Eggs are 20 cents a dozen. Next Sunday will be.Easter. Small grain is looking well. Old Hymen has gone to sleep. Mr. Robt. Reagin has corn up. Locals are provokingly scarce. The new styles of ladies' hats are "just lovely." Plant your snap beans Monday, or soon thereafter. The weather took an ugly turn on Thursday. The prospect of early vegetables then seemed somewhat doubtful. But it is all right again, and amateur gardenists are hopeful. Farmers say that they never had their land in better condition than now. If they will only put in plenty of corn they will be doing the right thing. We believe they will do it. The red postage stamp will be out the first of May. Newberry needs more people, to fill her vacant dwellings. The Academy boys beat their oppo nents in the?base-ball game Friday. Several persons have already set out cabbage plants. Sam Dogan, colored, died Sunday night of Pneumonia. The smoke is still issuing from the debris of the burned buildings. Cotton is getting scarce in this mar ket-very little has been seen of late. Mr. J. O. Peoples is making a popu lar run on his silver ware and jewelry. Our burnt out merchants are getting matters in shape again, and are ready for trade. There will be services in the Metho dist and Lutheran Churches Friday morning-Good Friday. We suppose there is a good deal of corn up-washed up by the heavy rain Sunday. Mr. Junius E. Chapman has with drawn from the firm of Chapman & Crawiford. Prospects of the revival of business are still bright, but business itself is as dull as ever. Our friend John below stairs has been busy the last week going for the spots made by the painters. The raiD Sunday afternoon was not a drizzly, drowsy sprinkle, but a regular trash-mover.. The Episcopal congregation will have Easter Services Sunday after Easter, when the Pastor will be present. Mr. J. M. Crawford is snugly fitted in the store formerly occupied by J. B. Leonard & Co. Newberry is chock full of contractors and journeyman workers. Every train brings an addition to the number. Now is a good time for that missing load of waad to turn up. This cold snap will make it acceptable. Amasoka presents a livelier appear ance now than it has in years-so much of the business has gone there. Patronize home institutions-get your job printing done at the HERALD office, where it can be done expeditiously. Hayes receives without gloves. We have heard of men going for their fel lows without gloves, and perhaps that is what he means. If you want to know how fast the fractional paper currency is being re deemed, just try to get some small change to send off in a letter. The painters and whitewashers are through with their work below stairs and the printers have turned their noses loose. They had a trying time. Fishing has commenced on Scott's creek already. Soon the banks of Bush river will be peopled by anglers, and grub-worms will be at a premium. The travelling public need be under no apprehension as to finding board and lodging, several houses having been thrown open for their accommodation. We continue the invitation to come in and subscribe for the HERALD; the price will break no one. Every man in the county should be a subscriber to his own paper.. Jalapa has an insurance agent but no Trial Justice, several doctors but no lawyers. Although Jalapa is only seven miles distant from the metropolis we seldom get the news. Keene & Austin in their new location (the Webb, Jones & Parker building) make a fine display, much better than before the fire. They are getting in a fine lot of their popular stoves. That was a generous act of one of our best farmers Saturday-getting a quar ter of a cent per pound more for his cot ton than he expected, he gave the extra money to a benevolent purpose. A young gentleman and lady were driving at a rapid rate down Caldwell Street Friday afternoon, when the horse took fright, and upset the buggy, spill ing the young people on the roadside. Nobody was hurt. There will be a grand public concert in Newberry shortly, in which several prominent performers will take part, and among them we mention Profes sors Shovelanni, Trowelski and Ham mervinski, who will take an active part. Due West, according to the Ab. Me diunm, is a happy place-bacon is sell ing at ten cents, best N. 0. syrup at seventy-five, best sugaLr at twelve cents, onA nthn~. ~ in the same pro Latest News.

THE LAST CHAPTER.-We have been endeavoring to give the reader a feeble idea of the difficulties under which the HERALD has labored in consequence of the complications up stairs and below i stairs-more particularly below stairs -and as the story would be incomplete without the finale, we now feel happy in being able to give the last chapter in Z the sad history of a few weeks, which from Dick's exploit as an auctioneer down to the advent of Tarrant's water slashers and scrubbers, with all the intermediate changes, have made things lively. The painters and floor-scrubbers are through, barricades removed, and access being attainable up-stairs without danger of getting our hat mashed or the bark knocked off our shins, we feel moderately happy, as much so as possi ble under the circumstances. Tarrant moves in his dry goods to-day, while Pope & Wardlaw move out their pills, plasters and potions. In a few days d things will be settled, and we feel free d to invite our friends up-stairs-there is no danger of tearing coat-tails by pro truding nails, falling over step ladders, J or being otherwise injured. All quiet -and "nobody hurt." INsuRANCE.-Last week we gave the insurance recovered up to that date, amounting to $33,930.37. The remain ing policies have been adjusted as fol lows: M.

The losers, however, mani fest no. disposition to waste idle regret over their misfortunes, but are going bravely to work to recuperate as far as possible.
