ASTONISHING SUCCESS.
It is the duty of every person who
has used BoscHEE'S GERMAN SYRUP to
let its wonderful qualities be known to
their friends in curing Consumption,
severe Coughs, Croup, Asthma, Pneu
monia, and in fact all throat and lung
diseases. No person can use it without
immediate relief. Three doses will re
lieve any case, and we consider it the
duty of all Druggists to recommend it
to the poor dying consumptive, at least
to try one bottle, as 40,000 dozen bottles
were sold last year, and no one case
where it failed was reported. Such a
medicine as the GERMAN SYRUP cannot
be too widely known. Ask your Drug
gist about it. Sample Bottles to try sold
at 10 cents. Regular size 75 cents. For
sale by W. E. Pelham. 39-eow.
The large and popular establishment
of Messrs. Kingsland & Heath, of Col
umbia, so well and favorably known to
the readers of the HERALD, is now be
ing stocked with all the new and latest
patterns in Crock-ry, Glass, China, Tin
Ware, &c., besides all the latest im
pa vements in household and kitchen
utensils. Hoasekeepers will fmnd in
this store everything pertainig to
house or kitchen, and at moderate
prices, and they are advised to exam
ine the stock while visiting the city.

A PAINFUIL ACCIDENT.-A little son
of Mr. Geo. A. Langford was badly
hurt Thursday by a door frame falling
upon him, seriously bruising the lower
half of his body. It is thought that no
bones are broken, and that no perma
nent injury will result from the accident.
BUILDING.-There are now in New
berry in the.course of erection, or built
since Spring, eleven dwellhng-houses
and fourteen business houses.. With a
building and Loan Association much
mnore would soon be accomplished in

low as the lowest. it.
Persons in want of substantial bug
oies-homne manufacture-Or who want

mentioned last week in justice to Mes
srs. Nance, Riser and Swittenburg that

AT CAsr's.-Mr. T. C. Pool (late of
the firm of McFall & Pool) is now to
be found at Cash's emporium of fashion
and low prices, where he will be happy
to see his old friends and customers
and show them the largest and greatest
variety of goods ever brought to New
berry. He will give a good trade to
all and guarantee satisfaction.
NOTICE.-The public are always in
search of the best place to get bargains.
You will find that place at B. H. Cline
& Co.'s new stand. No trouble to show
goods. it. .
$100,000.-The mere mention of
such a sum is enough to make a man
jump out of his boots. We trust no
one of the readers of the HERALD will
do so however, but read the announce
ment made by Messrs. Jones, Davis &
Bouknights, of Columbia. $100,000
is a large sum of money, and when in
vested in goods makes a pleasing and
wonderful display. These gentlemen
are determined that visiiors to the State
Fair shall not be disappointed, and
have therefore wisely prepared to ac
commodate them in every particular.
In the meantime orders will be prompt
ly filled.

PE.SONAL.-Mr. E. S. Coppock and
daughter have gone to Glenn Springs
for a short visit.
Sheriff C. L. Fike, of Laurens, was
in town Wednesdey, returning from
Columbia, whither he had been to carry
six convicts to the penitentiary.
We learn that our townsman Maj.
Jas. M. Baxter while in Laurens last
week was thrown from a baggy and
sustained somne iniurv about the ribs.
Mrs. L. A. Mc$milb, of Greenville,
S. C., favored us with a visit on Friday
last. We are pleased to inform the
citizens of Newberry that this lady is
the agent of a popular and reliable
Southern Music House-Messrs. Lud
den & Bates, Savannah--in the sale of
Pianos, Organs, &c., and will receive
orders guaranteeing the utmost satisfac
tion. The great reduction in the price
of pianos and organs places them,in
convenient reach in these times of strm
gency. ____
NEWDERRY COLLEGE.-This institu
tion located in our midst is bound to
prove a blessing to Newberry. The
Faculty is composed of gentlemen of
high character and culture, who are
very desirable accessions to our co'm
munity. The students, both local and
those from abroad, are a fine-looking
body of youn.g gentlemen. whose con
duct so far has been commendable.
They are seldom seen on the public
streets, except when going to or re
turning from their college duties. They
show no disposition to loaf, and we un
derstand they are studious. The rules
require them to attend some Church
Sunday mornings-whatever Church
their parents prefer. So their morals
as well as their minds are attended to.
The College offers ample facilities for
instruction. Besides the recitations and
lectures there are in connection with
the College two literary societies, by
means of which the students improve
themselves in speaking, debating and
writing. The societies are furnished
with select libraries, and there is also a
library of forty-five hundred volumes
belonging to the College, to which the
students have access. Having secured
the College, our citizens should patron
ize it, and do all in their power to
make it a success. It is worthy of their~
patronage. Indeed it will do much
more for its patrons than they can pos
sibly do for it.
We are glad to see the College pros
pering, and hope soon to see its num
bers doubled.
ABOUT THlE TOWN AND COUNTY.
Does anybody in town keep fresh
osters?
Friday is the last day for paying
town taxes.
A party of young gents went snipe
hunting Friday night.
Business is looking up-it only goes
one eye as yet, however.
There was a slight hint of frost in
the atmosphere Friday morning.
There are five cotton-weighers in
town, and they are doing a heavy busi
ness.
Some few of our subscribers have
seen the "sign," and yet we are not
satisfed.
The wvood-haulers will soon cease to
pine, In a few weeks it will be "all

More building-a frame store-room
was commenced on the hotel corner
lot Monday last.
Mr. Foot has two stores now-one
for dry goods and notions and the other
for groceries. They are attached.
The ambition of the girls now seems
to be to wear a dress made entirely and
exclusively of Breton buttons.
Subscribers in arrears for the HIERALDJ
are respectfully asked when they come
to town with cotton to call and settle
their dues. Money is needed.

Mr. J. David Wedaman's only child

the community.
Mr. David Hipp left on Wednesday
for New York, to purchase a fall stock
of goods. He expects to return. "with
a full line." about Saturday next.
Mrs. T. S. l3oinest has returned per
manently to her home at Pomiaria.
The community welcome this valuable
accession to its society.
Cool, decidedly! A young lady came
to Mrs. Andrew Bedenbaugh's on last
Wednesday evening, and without so
much as a word took up her residence
with her. Many questions as to whence,
who, whither and wherefore have been
propounded without eliciting any reply
whatever. In personal appearance she
is rather prepossessing; but her mind
and manners are those of an infant
three days old!
A copy of "The Premium List of the
State Fair," to be held in Columbia on
the 13th proximo, lies on our table.
Premiums are offered for excellence in
almost every department of human in
dustry. It is hoped that the people of
Pomaria may not be found otherwise
than pares inter paribus in their atten
dance upon, and competition in, such c
contests. If interested, apply to Thos.
W. Holloway, Esq., the Secretary, for
a copy.
Our enterprising farmer, T. W. H., f
Esq., has succeeded in inventing an
automatic drum which. it is thought, t
will far excel any other for collecting -
men. The invention, being the result
of benevolence, will not be patented;
and, therefore, each of the poorly-at- t
tended rifle companies, to which it is a
recommended, can manufacture for it- h
self, as follows: Take a ten-acre field; a
after thorough preparation plant in
peas; as soon as these have begun to
mature turn in your lot of Essex hogs;
and in a short time you will have them
as round and fat and full as a public C
officer.
Our schools are not so flourishing as '
they should be, even after the proper i
deductions for sickness. Doubtless the a
times are hard; but they are not likely ,
to get any better by our relaxing our
efforts. We tenderly sympathize with
the burdened, and highly admire that
man of to-day upon whose strong shoul
ders are securely resting the heavy re
sponsibilities of a family; but, however a
reluctant to complain or to increase o
their burdens by the tithe of a hair, let o
us not forget or ignore that something a
more than mere food and raiment is
alike demanded by the laws of parent- .
age and the peculiar condition of our
:ountry.

Romance of the New York Streets-A Weary d
Watcher and a Broken Heart-Wall c
Street Life and Death-A Dress
Reformer-An Indian
- Princess-A Brook
lyn Bridge Sen- 3
sation, etc, .
Walking along these crowded o
streets day after day, I meet all sorts t
f queer characters. Men and wo- di
men of marked individuality, whose d
lives are little less than a romance. v
Many of them I have known for t
years; I have passed'them on the i
streets at all hours and in all seasons, n
and often wondered why death had e
not claimed them, but it seemed to 1<
me that they bore charmed lives, for e
the most miserable and wretclred were t
often the most tenacious of existence. IE
It is nearly ten years ago since I was I
standing on the corner of Bleecker f
Street and Broadway, a bitter day in I
December; a cutting, biting wind 1
swept down the great thoroughfare, ~
and the pedestrians as they hurried a
along wrapped their great-coats and o
loaks about them more closely to a
protect them from the piercing blast. s
A little, feeble, frail-looking woman, c
filthy and covered with rags, passed i
y with a sack on her back filled with o
offal and paper. She wore nothing I
oa her head ; her gray hair was tan- t
gled and matted as though it had i
been unkempt for years; her poor feet I
were bound up in a mass of r~ags, and I
as she staggered along trembling un- '
der her burden, it appeared that her c
journey must be almost near its end.i
Ten years have gone by since that s
December day, and only on Wednes- c
day last I saw that same woman, old, s
looking like the witch of Endor, still
dragging her weary chain and wait- c
ing for the end to come. In 1842
Mitchell had the Olympic in full f
blast on Broadway, just above Canal t
Street. At that time it was one of
the best Vaudeville theaters in the i
United States. Among the brilliant I
galaxy of coryphees which turced thet
heads of half New York, was this
identical wretched woman, then the
central figure of a corps of splendid I
dancers, the equal of which our city
has not seen down to the present day.t
I never learned how she fell to her i
present miserabFe estate, for she never
seaks of the past to any one now,1
but she toils on and waits patiently
through the summer heat and winter i
storm for the summons which, we
hope in the name of the angel of
mercy, cannot be far off, when she I
shall lay down her weary burden and I
forget her suffering and sorrow, to
rest in peace, sweet peace, forever- 1
more.
For years past up to last February,
every day about eleven o'clock, some..
where between Canal and WallStreets,
you could have seen a man in seedy
clothes walking slowly and painfully
along, his chin resting on his breast
and his eyes bent upon the ground, I
his lips convulsively working as
thouh in animated conversation;
pausing for a moment. before Trinity
Church to regulate his watch, he
turned into Wall Street and leaning
aainst a lamp post near the corner of
Wall and Nassau Streets would peer
anosl in the face of the nasers
book-keeper of a large business house.
and was the friendly associate of an
another young man, with whom he
lived, and whom he regarded as a
brother. His friend was operating
in stocks in Wall Street, and one day
became embarrassed; he went to Mr.
S. and induced him to lend him a
bundle of railroad bonds which be
Longed to his employer and which he
knew was in the safc,-he only want
:d them for a couple of hours just to
how; they would save him from ruin,
md he would hand them back to S.
it four o'clock on the corner of Wall
ind Nassau Streets. That day he
iisappeared, and the next day S. was
irrested for the robbery ; a jury found
im guilty, and a judge sentenced him
o State's prison for ten long years;
i1 served his term out, but his reason
iad fled forever He was harmless
ud quiet, but when he regained his
iberty he still had the most unafalter
.g trust in his friend; so every day
or years-summer and winter-he
nade his pilgrimage to the appointed
pot on Wall Street, till the 22d of
ebruary last, and on that day Wall
street was deserted, for all the banks
vere closed; the weather was raw and
mnpleasant, and the few that passed
long the street scarcely noticed the
Id man who feebly clung to the lamp
'ost, keeping his weary vigil, though
f they had looked in his face they
night have seen from - his pinched
eatures and glassy eyes that death
ras not far off. The clock struck
hree and the old man sat down upon
he curbstone, his head resting on his
:nees; the half-hour struck, he par
ially raised himself and looked wildly
round ; with the first stroke of four
le trembled as if shaken by an ague,
nd clasping his hands above his head
ttered a wild cry of despair and fell
ack dead upon the stones.
Opposite St. Paul's on any day you
an see Mrs. Tom-ri-John selling the
Volcano" in a costume that would
et a female dress reformer crazy.
'he hat is the hat of a bold brigand,
sort of mixture of Fra Diavolo and
oaquin Miller; in brief, just such a
cad-piece as is affected by those long
aired young gentlemen who nobly
evote their lives to picking rings off
f sticks at Southern tournaments,
rd imagine the while that they are
Id-time knights-like Coeur De Lion
r Godfrey of Bouillon. I feel that I
m treading on delicate ground when
conie to speak of the pants,-there
only one pair like them in the
orld, and they are worn by Mrs.
~o-ri-John,-and then her coat,
Sis after the style of those bold For
sters who prayed and robbed with
old Robin Hiood,-a Scotch scarf of
leGilliggery plaid, 'complctes a cos
mme at once unique and striking.
'Irs. Toni-ri-John is above the mid
le height, with a sweet and pleasant
xpression of countenance. Yet, as
hie twists her little cane around her
agers, a single glance would assure
on that she would be a very unsafe
erson to fool with. The darkey who
lls Indian clubs, arrayed in the garb
f a first-class follower of Mohammed,
ried his blandishments on her one
ay last spring; but whatever her in
iscretions in the line of costume, she
Tas evidently not given to miscegena
ion. She put a head on that African
2 about two minutes that lasted him
early a fortnight ; and he found it
nvnielt.to wear a beefsteak on his
:ft eye for nearly ten days after the
aounter. ' I igiht add it was only
be clemency of the judge that saved
im from a three months' sojourn on
slackwell's Island for his disrespect
2 treatment of ?Mrs. Tom-ri-John.
ir husband, Dr. Tom-ri-John, pub
shes the "Volcano" red hot, which
rs. Tonm-ri-John sells red hot. Her
arming costume has lost the charm
f novelty, even for our boot-blacks
nd street hoodlums; but she still
rves as a raree show to our country
ousius whenever they come to town.
nd I am very much of the opinion
f Aunt Abigail Spinner, from Grassy
lains, as she stood contemplating
bis modern dress crusader last week
front of St. Paul's, "That any fe
ale woman who would wear breeches
e them ought to be redicklous."
he Count Joannes and George Fran
is Train are too well known to call
r a description. But there are many
'o have never seen our Indian Prin
ess, who might like to know a little
bout her. Who she is nobody knows.
et you can see her almost any fine
.ay <>n Broadway dressed in. the gor
;eous trappings of her tribe. Paint,
eathers and fringes make up a cos
ume that would delight the heart of
spotted Tail or Crazy Horse. And
.11 the splendid appliances of our
tigher civilization seem not to make
he slightest impression on this un
ophisticated daughter of the wilder
ess. She leads a little child by the
iand who is several shades whiter
han herself, but who is arrayed in
he same showy costume of her pro
ector ; for the difference of feature
.nd mold forbids the idea that the
rincess is her mother. Some day
he will disappear, swallowed up, per
iaps in the wild maelstrom of this
;reat city; here and there some one
nay miss her for a day or two, but
hen she will be forgotten, just as we
'orget tihe Astors, the Vanderbilts,
md the Stewarts, who, living, con
rived to forget us except for the pur
>oses of gain.
Our new bridge, which connects
rooklyn with New York, was lamst
veek the scene of one of the most
'rightful occurrences ever witnessed
n the world. For many months past
d sorts of people have been crossing
md recrossinmr the narrow foot-bridge
;hat runs between the towers, and
vhich is used for the making of the
rreat cables which are to support the
ricipal roadway. This miniature
auseway swings at an elevation of
)e hundred and sixty or seventy feet
ibore the river. It is a dizzy height
-o p opl nuse to climhing. but a
an unknown quantity, I judged if she
fell from that elevation she would
make a hole in the water equal to two
whales,vny-nie cat-fish, thirteen
bladler-Cosed sharks, and one sucker :
but to miy story. One day last week
a man applied for a pass to cross, who
was a hand on one of our foreign
steamaships ; he was a fellow of H1er
culean build. standing about six feet
two. and weighing. wit hout any spare
facsh. two huodred and twenty-eight
he reached about half-way over when,
to the horror of some other si_ht
seers who were on the bridge, he was
sIca to fLl in an epileptic fit; the
passage-way is narrow-only four feet
across-and as he writhed and twisted
in his agony, it seemed almost impos
sible for him to escape destruction.
Two me.i rushed forward and seized
him just as he was going to make a
dreadful dive into the river below.
Thoroughly roused, the maniac turned
on his preservers, and for a few mo
ments it seemed as if all three would
roll in the river together. Some oth
ers rushed out from the tops of the
towers, and after a desperate struggle
the man was finally secured, and con
veyed to the New York side. On top
of the stone tower another. desperate
struggle took place. At last he was
safely landed, and we consider it a
special mercy that this little episode
has not cost at least half a dozen lives.
In view of the possible recurrence of
such a calamity the bridge authorities
have shut down on passes, so that
country school-marms and rural cler
gymen must now satisfy their curios
ity by contemplating the bridge from
the Brooklyn ferry-boat. Dan Con
nors, the celebrated twelve o'clock
man, died last week in Brooklyn. For
many years poor Dan came down to
the City Hall every day, and waited
till the clock struck twelve, for some
one to pay him some money ; the man
never came, and last week the great
City Hall clock struck twelve for the
last time for poor Dan. One of our
great beef exporters who was supposed
to be doing such a profitable business
in sending porter-house steaks to John
Bull, has come to grief. It will take
a half million to settle his liabilities
in full, though it is said that the
creditors are ready to compound at
twenty five cents on the dollar. All
kinds of trade are still lively, and for
the past few days the tramps have
been pouring in upon us. Nine sui
cides and four murders give a respect
able and gratifying showing to our
riminal calendar. Divorces are on
tbe increase, which I am sorry to re
cord, as the winter is coming on. The
balance of trade is still in our favor,
our exports exceeding our imports for
the last six months by $64,000,000.
Hoping that this state of things may
continue,
I am,
Truly yours,
BROADBRIM.
