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

"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.

ent.
The hall was filled to overflowing
Friday night to witness the closing ex

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

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.

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. As a remedy for chronic indi
gestion, inental despondency anrt nervous
ness the Bitters are equally efficacious, and
as a renovant of lost vigor, a means of arrest
ing premature decay, and a source of relief
from the infirmities to which the gentler sex
is pecJiarly subject, they may be thoroughly
relied upon. 27-4t
