The object is a worthy one-to uniform the Silver Cornet Band, and the enter tainment 'will be "tip-top." EXECUTIVE APPOINTMENT.-Mr. Le vi E. Folk received his appointment Saturday from the Governor as Auditor of New berry County. He couldn't have selected a better man. The College Building Committee met Friday to consider bids for the contract. There were five bids. The committee will make their decision and award the contract to-morrow (Wednesday.) EVEnynOD .-Go to the Concert Thursday night. The Band is com posed of some of the best young men of the place, and the community should aid and encourage them. NEWBERRY, S. C.-Some of our let ters come to us directed to N. C. - Of course they are delayed, running around the tar State looking for their destina tion. Our address is Newberry, S. C.

GExERoUs.-Citizens of Prosperity have given all the lumber, free of charge, to finish the third story of the Thornwell Orphanage at Clinton, and Col. Dodamead furnished the use of a car to haul it.

If you want anything in the way of tree and flower seeds, send to him.

Wholesale by Pope & Wardlaw. WILLIA3ISTON FEMALE COLLEGE. See advertisedient of President Lander in another column. This institution is popular with the people of Newberry, and justly so. -Parents having children to send off to school could not find a better place to send them to than Wil liamston. One bottle of Thrash's Consumptive Cure and Lung Restorer, will convince the most skeptical that it is the only remedy now extant for consumptive and diseased throat and lungs. Trial 50c. large $1.50. Sold by all Druggists. For sale by Dr. S. F. Pant. CORRECTION.-We stated last week that Mr. Sim Pratt's new store was similar to the old one. It is much su perior. being a great deal longer, and the upstairs has more and better rooms. Thbe front will have a facing of cement, and a balcony with iron brackets and railings, _____ JALAPA ITEMS. Good rain Thursday night. None just above here. Crops looking well. Grass looking well too, but we are not stuck up. Mr. Aleck W. Boozer is still quite ill. The 4th passed off without any en thusiasm. The nearest thing to a pa triotic display was on the part of a dozen colored street gamnins, who paraded the streets in motley costumes, with tin swords and stick guns. 'The colored pupils of the Hoge School had a celebration at the school house in Gravel Town. VERY GOOD.-We understand that Geo. B. Cromer, a graduate of New berry College at the recent Commence ment, and only nineteen years old, was awarded three medals for excellence. He has just been elected to the position of Assistant in the Preparatory De partment. We extend him hearty con gratulations and wish him much suc cess. CROCKERY, ETC.-Now that provi sions have nome down, and everybody has plenty to eat, the next thing in or der is to get something-nice to put the eatables irL. Kingsland & Heath will supply these articles, of the very best quality, and at the- most reasonable rates. They keep a large and select stock of China, Glass and Tinware, and fancy articles generally. Opposite Columbia Hotel, Columbia, S. C. 28-tf KNIGHTS OF HoNoR.-At a rccent meeting of the Knights of Honor, the following officers were elected, for the ensuing term: R. H. Clarkson, Dic. John 0. Peoples, V. Dic. Ed ward Scholtz, Ass't Dic. Rev. Tbos. G. Herbert, Chap. John F. Spearman, Rep. Dr. Jas. McIntosh, Financial Rep. L. M. Speers, Treas. A. C. Jones, Guide. A. Singleton, Guar. Thos. F. Harmon, Sen. NEWBERRY GRANITE.-The granite used in the new buildings came from Rikard's quarry, three miles from town, and wvas dressed at Leavell & Speers'. Those blocks, eight by sixteen inches in thickness, and extending sixty-four feet along the front of the Mower buildings, upon which the iron pillars stand, are as fine specimens as one would wish to see. Messrs. O'Neall and Redding, experienced builders, speak of this granite in the highest terms-say they never saw better. There are other extensive quarries in this County of like character. Large quantities of granite have been shipped from this County to Charleston for building purposes. COMPLIMENT TO A NEWBERRY FAR MER.-An Edgefielder, who attended the Newberry College Commencement, writing about his trip to the Edgefield Aderiser, the 2d inst., thus speaks of a farmer in the Chappell's Depot sec tion: "There is one industrious farmer, if no more; in Newberry. This individual is Dr. J. 0. Dickert. It wvouMl make the avei age farmer blush with shame to see the enterprising spirit of this South Caro liin-ennmllt on hfs pea,.(cowrmfnillet crnd,) phfas, (seand Irishof varslkns, poalloens, ofsfrut, arey,) oat,meheat, adlalyknd ottn Whent bare aw het finnes oasly allthese Wooh e~ sw~ the finedesso en them nommndities we imno-inod wa "N. A. S."-Manv citizens of New berry have in their possession silver cups. or other articles of silver. with the above named letters engraved upon them, reminding them that Newberry once had an Agricultural Society. Can't she have one again? No other county in the State has greater facilities for making such a society a success and an honor to its people. Let not another year pass round with out a County Fair. Talk the thing up now, and get up an interest on the sub ject, so that by next fall everything will be ready. What say ye? ADAMS STuEET.-ThiS will be one of the most frequented streets in town when the College is started. It ought therefore to he improved. It has only one sidewalk beyond the branch, and that one is a great deal too narrow. If the people living along the street would consent to. have their fences moved back three or four feet no doubt the Council would ber the expense. And the opposite sidewalk should be put in proper condition; nothing to do but to cut away the briars and smooth it off a little. Portions of this street are in bad con dition. PERSONAL.-Mr. W. G. Mayes left Thursday for a sojourn at that popular and healthful resort Glenn Springs. The Senior is hunting for coolness and health in the mountains of Western North Carolina. H. C. Moses, Esq., spent last week with relatives in Augusta. Rev. Jas. Y. Fair, of Mississippi, is on a visit to his father, Rev. R. A. Fair. He preached in the Presbyterian Church Sunday morning and night. Mr. J. E. St. Amand, of Charleston, and his wife, daughter of H. H. Blease, Esq., are on a visit to Newberry. Ira B. Jones, Esq., formerly of this place, now a member of the Lancaster Bar, is spending a few days with rela tives in town. Capt. Jas. N. Lipscomb has accepted an invitation to deliver an address at the Grange picnic at Black Jack, Ker shaw County, the 27th instant. NARROW ESCAPE.-Wednesday af ternoon, the 4th, a party of eighteen or twenty gentlemen went out to Menden hall's pond on Bush River to swim. Mr. Robt. Moorman, in attempting to swim across the bond, became exhaust ed and sank. Dr. Pope swam to his rescue. When Mr. M. rose he seized the Doctor round the neck, and both sank. Rising to the surface again he seized him around the waist and they sank again. Dr. P. was scarcely able to reach the bank. Meantime Mr. Stoddard was swimming toward Mr. Moorman, but before he could get to him he sank the third time. Mr. S. dived for him, seized one of his hands and brought him up; Mr. Jno. Har mon then caught the other hand, and they swam with him to the bank. The wvater was over fifteen feet deep. Mr. Wmn. Johnson, who is not much of a swimmer, got into deep water and was pulled out by Mr. Harmon. So there came near being four drownings on the "Glorious Fourth." The same day a party was seining O'Neall's pond, when a colored man, who was carrying one of the staves of the seine, got into water over his head and was about to drown when he was rescued by Jno. S. Fair, Esq. NOTES FROM THE "WESTERN CORNER." EDITORS NEWBERRY HERALD: You have from various localities in the county racy correspondents to tell the readers of your paper all the news items of interest that occur, any affair of general or looal interest, and of events both great and small, but you never have anything to say about the' "Western Corner." - Now I gracefully solicit your ap)proval of my proposition to become your reporter from this lo cality, and gather all the scraps of news and items, as I may find .oppor tunity, and send them to you for pub lication. I may not be able to carry out my proposition as I would desire, but I wvill do the best I can; and I am of opinion that this effort of mine will have two good effects-that is, increase the circulation of your paper, and also bring out the latent good of our citi zens. For when they find there is "one among them taking notes, and intends to publish them,"? they wvill strive to put ' the "best foot foremost," that their. names may appear in the paper. I will pass lightly over, and treat with more than human charity, all that may display a drop of evil purpose, or a shade of mental feebleness or folly. We have a number of good farmers up here, as is attested by the wvell-man aged farms. Mr. R. W. Atchison, who lives near where Carson's Creek pours its turbid current into Little River, be sides being a successful husbandman, is carrying on a tannery, which is quite a convenience to the neighborhood; and in.addition to all this, he is now taking the initiatory steps to start a fruit distillery. The crop of fruit is abundant, of nearly every variety. The old field plum crop is enormous, and as fine as I ever knew - in quality; but I hardly endorse your notion that all the doctors will get rich in consequence unless it is to be inferred that this spe cies of fruit will cause sickness, and all doctor bills will be paid. The first proposition is, I think, correct, but the latter is certainly untenable. Trhe dog mania is subsiding, but it waned once or oftener before, and some wild rumor to the effect that some one had seen a whole drove of mad dogs somewhere would renew the p)an ic, especially among women and chil dren-and it may be the case again. There has certainly been a disease among the dogs, but wvheher it was hydrophobict or not is the question. But the excitement has had one good effect if no more, that of ridding the county of a number of worthless, prowling dogs. Now in my next I will have some thing to say about several other people and several other things. P. Cure Yourselves. The 8th WONDER of the WORLD has been found in Gcorgia. The discoverer is a phy sician of long experience, exten~sive observa tion and profound judgment, and his discoy ry has proven such a blessing to woman, that it is already known throughout the country as "Woman's Best Friend." With remarkable quickness and pertainty it cures all cases of suppressed menstruation, acute or chronic, and restores health in every in stance. Dr. J. Bradficid's Female Regulator supplies a remedy long needed in the treat mnent of diseases peculiar to woman. This the Medical Faculty linows and admits, while many of our'best physicians are using it in daily practice. The medicine is prepared with great care, by Dr. J. Bradfield, Atlanma, Ga., and sold at $1.50 per bottle by respecta ble Druggists every where. GREAT MERIT IN FEMALE DISEASES. STATE OF GEORduA, Trodp'Co. This is to certify that I have examined the ,.ecipe of Dr. Josiah Bradfield, and, as a OR lI SCHOOLS. Last week the closing exercises of the Male and Female Academies cane off. No young ladies were sent out with "finished education" to go forth into the world conquering and to conquer silly young men, and no young gentlemen were dignitied for a brief moment with the high-sounding title of A. B. or A.M., but we have no doubt that several of the fair Misses of Prof. Pifer's Academy are about as well prepared to graduate as many others all over the State who have packed away their diplomas in their trunks, within the past two weeks, to show with pride to the "old folks at home." The high regard and interest felt by the citizens of Newberry for the Female Academy w:as strikingly exhibited by the overwhelming attendance on the CLOSING EXERCISES in Temperance Hall Tuesday and Wednesday nights. Long before the appointed hour for beginning, crowds had gathered in the Hall. Some of the sterner sex, who, intent on keeping cool, had gone early and ensconced themselves by the windows, "where the gentle breezes blow," soon had to take back seats against the rear wall. A few of the lords of creation, however totally unconscious (of course) that ladies near the door were standing kept their faces set like flint toward the stage, while some polite bachelors ran out and hunted up additional chairs. About five hundred persons were pres ent. Our limited space precludes the possibility of.comment in detail upon the exercises; but we give the pro gramme, with the single remark that the entire performance did honor to the participants.

"Circumstances alter Cases," by Misses Flora Meredith, Julia Shirey, Lula Langford, Carrie Mayer. The pieces were of proper length, and were performed wvith ease and nat uralness. Nothwithstanding the exces sive heat and the crowded hall, the oc casion was greatly enjoyed by all pres-. ent. The hall was filled to overflowing Friday night to witness the closing ex ercises of the MALE ACADEMY. After prayer by Rev. R. A. Fair, extracts were delivered by the following young gentlemen: Harry H. Blease-Virginia. Sam'l W. Clarkson-Sword and Staff. 3. J. Foot-Look Aloft. Jas. B. Wheeler-Character of Napoleon Bonaparte. W.

E. Merchant-(Latin) Cicero against Cataline. L. V. Kuhns-Our Common Schools. J. B. Jones, (Burly,) Dialogue S. A. Boozer, (Servant,)> Imaginary Sick W.G. Hlouseal, (Fidget,)) Man. The speakers generally did well. Without detracting from otheis, we think that Masters McCaughrin and Wright possess the powers of oratory in a very high degree. They spoke with as much ease and naturalness as veteran stump orators. Young Wright is only thirteen, and McCaughrin about the same. Most of the speeches wer.e too long, considering the pum ber of speakers. The Latin oration by WV. E. Merchant was well delivered. Hiis gestures wvere graceful and his de livery earnest. Few in the audience were sufficiently familiar with the tongue of Cicero to appreciate the nviter of the address, hut the manner of the speaker was so natural that it was evi dent to all hie knew what he was talking about. His pronunciation of the words showed that he has studied the language to good effect, and under an instructor -who understands his business. At the conclusion of tile speeches, Prof. Clarkson -read out tile names of the pupils entitled to~ HONORABLE MENTION, they having attained an average grade during the year of over 90. The names were read in alphabetical order, without regard to comparative merit. They are: Sam'l A. Boozer, W. Gus. Honseal, Jno. B. Jones, Jas. M. Kibler, Luther M. Kuhns, W. Ernest Merchant, Bartow B. Ramage, Jas. B. Singletom, Gus. 1.. Werber, Frank Z. Wilson and Chas. D. 'Wright. Also, for having attained like average during one quarter-his time of attend ance on school-M. Foot, Jr.~ A prize was awarded to Jas. B. Sin gleton for the best aptd most carefully prepared essays during the year. The Valedictory was thlen spoken by M Foot, .r a fittio- elose to the eve ABOUT THE TOWN AND COUNTY. Hot doesn't express it. Ripe peaches are plentiful. Qcumbers if 2 ripe will W up. The melon-colic days have-come. Trial Justices are not so busy now. Newberrians are eating roasting ears. Corn looks splendid -and cotton is just clipping it. The G. & C. R. R. will use the patent air-brakes soon. Peaches sold on the street last week for ten cents a dozen. A good rain Thursday night that re vived things wonderfally. There is some talk of enlarging the dimensions of the Simmons House. White's Mineral Spring- is in full blast, with a full head of water on. Mosquitoes are careering around, looking up their "cousins." The "devil" says he can hardly stand the heat. What shall the rest of us do? Mr. Wm. Langford is putting a new dam across Bush River at his mill. The boys and girls deserve their va cation, and we hope they will enjoy it. Hoyt and' Richardson celebrated the 4th, and hence we got no Registers Thursday. Drink very little water this warm weather, and you will be more com fortable. Mr. Pinckney Williams made three hundred bushels of wheat on eighteen acres. The foot-bridge across the railroad on Boundary Street has been put in goad condition. Bush River is a favorite resort. Ev ery afternoon bathers, in birth-day cos tume, line its banks. Dry all the peaches you can. They will sell readily next winter for $2.00 or $2.50 per bushel. The Col;esburv District Conference will meet it Ninety-Six Thursday, the 12th. A big brick hotel in the central part of town is one of the probabilities of the near future. We hope Mr. Crotwell will make a ten pin alley under one of his stores. It would be a splendid place. We hope to see the Hall crowded Thursday night, as it was last week at the young folks' entertainments. Mr. Cash will soon have an elevator in his store, something like those used in big hotels. The iron pillars, eleven in number, for the front of the Mower buildings have been put in position, and are quite handsome. Newberry needs a Town Hall. Some one has suggested a joint stock compa ny to build one. A good idea, which we hope to see carried out. It keeps Burns busy supplying soda water, ice cream and "sich" to his cus tomers. It's mighty hot weather that doesn't do somebody good. Our thanks are due, and are hereby tendered, to Mr. William Zoble, of Hel ena, for a quantity of fine beans of his raising.. The fronts of the Messrs. Pratts' stores will be plastered over with ce ment. Mr. Sim Pratt-s will have an iron balcony. Messrs. Keitt & Dickert are hulling out the wheat crop with their fine thresher. They are traveling through the county with it. The Helena people have a -remarka bly healthy and robust appearance. Is it because they get so many good things to eat ? A young gentleman did a handsome thing at the Hall Tuesday night by go ing out and hunting up chairs for the ladies, who came after the seats were all taken. If you see two or three dozen young gents in dusters you needn't think they are going off right away on the ears to play a match game of base ball. That's the fashion now. Several dwelling houses will be go ing up soon in the neighborhood of the college. Two or three new streets are needed over on that side, to make the access to the college more convenient. Messrs. Carrington, Fair and others aught seventy-one pounds of fish in Bush River with a seine last Wednes day. They consisted principally of red horse, trout and suckers; some of them were very large. The spirit of improvement has taken possession oi Mollohon Row. We shall soon witness a transformation in that quarter. Onward is the watchword of Newberry now. While business is dull and our business men arc comparative ly idle it is a good time to put things in trim. STUDENTS' MEETINGS.-Inl a joint meeting of the ex-students and students of Newberry College, held June 28, 1877, the following preamble and res olutions were unanimously adopted: Whereas, It is believed that the pros perity of Newberry College may be promoted by reunion of its ex-students and students, be it therefore, Resolved, That we, the ex-students and students hold the following meet igs: 1.

P., JilY' 3, 1877 List of advertised letters for week ending ,July 7, 1877: Tow, Wesley ;Johnson, Judge ~'ranklin,MissSarahA. Nelson. F. H. EL.CTION.-The following County officers are to be elected at an early day-time not yet fixed: Clerk of Court, one County Commissioner, one mem her of the House of Representatives. THE COL.ossAI. BRONZE STATUE OF VICTORY which stands in the Park, at Lowell, before- the tomb of the first sol diers that fell in the revolution, is a lasting and beautiful tribute of art. Jt is one of the first objects sought by strangers visiting our sister city, which indeed many visit purposely to see this elegant object of high art. It was ob tained from the King of Bavaria by Dr. J. C. Ayer, to whom his majesty was especially gracious in .acknowledgnent of wh:tt his remedies are reputed to have done for the suffering sick. It was donated by the Doctor to the City of Lowell as a permanent and speaking emblem of the victories both of Science and Arms.-Hagerstown (Md.) Press. MARIA DE MEDICI.-Itr a narrow, wretch ed little street in the famous city of Cologne. and within a stone's throw of its magnificent cathedral, stands a mean, low, weather beaten house, which is one of the land-marks of history, for here died in squalid misery one of the most famous women of which history contains any record, She was driven out of rrance by her son and became a wan derin g fugitive. In succession England, Germany and Switzerland drove her away from their confines, till at last, deserted by everyone, sick and dying, she found her way to Cologne, and there, in a wretched tene ment, perished, almost of starvation and neglect, the wife, the mother, the daughter of a king; what would she have given in her dire extremity for a paper of Duryeas' Improved Corn Starch-but though she could not procure it you can get it and Dur yeas' Satin Gloss Starch by inquiring of any respectable grocer. They are the best in the world-try them. What the Bilious Require. Since torpidity of the liver is the chief cause of its disorder, it is evident that what the bil ions require is an alterative stimulant which will arouse it to activity, an effect that is fol lowed by the disappearance of the various symptoms indicative of its derangement. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters invariably achieve the primary result mentioned, be sides removing the constipation, flatulence, heartburn, yellowness of the skin and whites of the eyes, pain in the right side and under the right shoulder, nausea, vertigo and sick headache, to which bilious invalids are pecu ciarly subject.
