The Jones' Ventilated Trusses, some thing entirely new for this market, are the easiest, safest and best in the world Now on exhibition and for sale only by Dr. Wi. E. Pelham.

I have carefully examined Dr. Jones' Truss, and unhesitatingly pronounce it the most perfect and best instrument for Hernia I have ever seen, and would recommend it in all cases of Rupture, and would prefer it to any other. 5 tf P. B. RUFF, M. D. Gardeners are happy in being able to get all the seeds they want at half the old prices, and they should vote D.. Pelham a card of thanks.

Wyatt Aiken for a bound volume of the report of the Silver Commission. PERSONAL. The Rev. J. D. Shirey returned on Saturday last after a pleasant trip to Staunton (Va.) Female College, where he had taken two daugabters of Dr. Jas. Ruff, of this County. Treasurer U. B. Whites has returned from a business trip West, and is now at his office, looking hale and hearty. AGAIN.-We have time and again requested contributors to the Herald to send in their favors early, and again we have to make the request. Monday is late, Tuesday very late for a long communication. The printers have frequently more to do on those days than during all the other days of the week put.together. Be kind enough to remember. The cause of the immense throng in D-r. Pelhain's Iron-Column Drug Store on Sale-dat, is accounted for by the fact that a fresh stock of Landreth's regular 10 cents papers of Garden Seeds were being disposed of a 5 cents at paper!!! NRw SAFE.-The County Commis sioners have ordered for the use of the Treasurer and Auditor, a large fire proof safe, from the well known estab lishment of Hall's Safe & Lock Co., of Cincinnati, and it is now on the way and will be in position in a few days. ur citizens can now feel that the val rable records of the county (the accu mulation of many~years) will be safe from destruction, shond.d a fire unfortu nately occur.. - MINUTES.-The editor, Rev. A. M Chrietzberg, will accept our thanks for a copy of the Minutes of the Ninety second Session of the. South Carolina Annual Conferenee, just received from the bhds of'iha printer. Thanks to the indefatigable labors of the editor the Minutes are furnished in advance of the time expected.

F. Glymphi vs. E. S. Sligh, 75 acres-to Jno. F. Glymph for $75. The Sheriff also sold a number of orses, mules and other personal pro perty-prices low. CONCERT THURSI)AY NIGHT.-The Gruber Family will give a Concert Thursday night in Temperance Hall. Single tickets, 50 cents; two tickets 75; children 25. We clip the following notice from the Keowee (WaIhalla) Courier: "The Gruber Family gave a musical entertainment in the Court House last Friday night. The.opening, lecture by Mr. Gruber on music was interesting, instructive and amusing, and the per formance throughout was chaste and elegant. Mr. Gruber is a master of his profession and the show is no humbug.." -IN FORCE.-The town was made live ly last week by the tramp, tramp, tramp of the Drummer's Brigade. One might have been led to suppose, judging from their fine physique and general appearance, that they were aids of Gen. Moise, and were here for the pu.rpose of effecting some grand military order. In looking over Simmons' register we became convinced that a portion of them comprised the shoe brigade, viz: Col. WV. A. Faulkner, with Smaltz, Monroe & Co., Phila.; Col. Burnett, with Brigham & Co., Boston, and Miles & Son, Phla.; and Col. WV. Marcy, with Marcy & Co., Hartford, Conn., all shoe men. Then there was Brig. Gen. Geo. W. Clotworthy, of the extensive Dry Goods House of Daniel Miller & Co., Baltimore, and how many more we are unable to find out. We are pleased to state that these gentlemen made a fine impression, and have been invited to call again. A TIME TO DANCE.-Much has been said and written against dancing, but we will show that under certain circum stances t.here is no harm in dancing. If the kitchen maid trips and breaks a dish into 'smithereens' who can blame her for dancing, or the charming mis tress if she executes a little on the light fntastic when the maid says "I didn't* go to do it." Crockery will break and the women will dance, and the husband pays the piper. But after all not much arm is dne, nd the rcmedv is so sim V'ALENTINES.-The young people are delighted that this happy and auspi cious occasion is nearly at hand. How many young hearts are beating in hap py expectancy of the tender missives which Cupid is wont to send them. "Ever of thee," "Thine only," "I love thee," "Wil't thou be mine," are pecu liarly expressive and sweet at this sea son. The Valentines this year are,very haidsome, prettier than ever, andT we have no doubt will be eagerly sought after. THE COLLEGE.-We congratulate the Professors and students of Newberry College. They are now safely housed in their own building. No doubt thicy all feel better, and the change will cer tainly be beneficial to the institution and all concerned. On Monday morning the College was formally dedicated in presence of the Professors, students and a few visitors by the Rev. H. W. Kuhns. The Rev. gentleman made a very happy little speech appropriate to the auspicious occasion, which we regret not having had the pleasure of hearing. COUr.-Judge Kershaw arrived Saturday and opened the Court of Gen eral Sessions, promptly, Monday at 10 o'clock. Col. Ball, the Solicitor, being absent, on account of sickness in his family, Jas. M. Baxter, Esq., was ap pointed Solicitor, pro tem. Mr. L. M. Speers was appointed foreman of the Grand Jury. His Honor's charge was searching and explicit. Gen. T. J. Lipscomb is Foreman of Jury No. 1, Thos. Q. Boozer' of Jury No. 2. The hours for holding Court are from 9 1-2 a. m., to 1 1-2 p. m., and from 3 p. m., to candle-light. The Grand Jury have already return ed True Bills in the following cases: Samuel Johnson, for Grand Larceny; Adolphus Maybin, Burglary; Wash Gary, Burglary; Jno. A. Bugg, Biga my. Only one trial up to the time of going to press-George Bradley, for Grand Larceny, stealing A. K. Tribble's )Wt ton-Guilty. A HEAVY CAE.-Trial Justices are no more exempt from the troubles of life than other people. Squire Carlisle has now on hand a case which is entire ly too heavy for him-all of the law I books in his office can't throw light on it, and we doubt if all the Justices in the County can help him solve the diffi culty. He has an elephant so to speak. 1 Having no secure place for valuable papers he ordered a safe to bestow them 1 in and now the safe has arrived he can find no place for the safe. It is too big1 to get up stairs, and too~ heavy were it up there. All the draymen in town have looked at the safe and visited the premises, while all the otber good au thorities in town have done the same and the judgment of the Court is that Squire Carlisle has a bad case of ele phant. It .is suggested that he roIl it 1 up to some vacant lot and build to it. We shall report progress. GooD rN THE DO0G.-An old dutch man was taken sick and his physician prescribed Cod Liver Oil, charging for the same a fee of eight dollars. He found the oil efficacious but the eight dollar fee went against his stomach, so he discharged the doctor and made the >il himself, but understanding the doc tor to say dog liver instead of cod liver; he bought all the dogs in the neighbor-] hood for their livers, and strange to say it made a sound dutchman of him. Quite as remarkable a case has justi come to our knowledge as happenmng in this town. A few nights ago a victim of chronic neuralgia, had one of his se verest attacks, intolerable pains racked his body, he tossed and moaned, and could neither sleep himself nor let any one else. Sometimes he felt as if all the field pieces of an army were passing over his legs, then there would be a stall, then the wheels would be prized out, leaving the flesh in a horribly man gled condition, so bad that a thousand little devils would separate nerves from lcrated flesh with sharp pincers, and draw up the rents with needles-in short it would take too long to tell how great a variety of pains he experienced. About midnight his neighbor's dogs found a bone in his yard, and his own dogs objecting to such an unseasonable visit and perfectly unlawful purpose, raised a horrible howl of indignation. The yelping, snapping, howling, bark ing, was more than*a well man could endure; the sick man could not, he leap ed out of bed and with the yell of a wild Modoc Indian sprang into the midst. Up and down the yard, into the wheel-barrow, over the wood-pile, against the clothes-line, and o?casional y a dog, and things looked lively for a while. But all things moust have an end and this ended in a complete dis omfiture of all the dogs. The sick man victorious went back to bed and slept like a top, the pains had all gone. Up to this date they have not returned. We mention these two occurrences to show that there is something in a dog, and for the benefit of the afflicted gen erally. Throw physic to the dogs and try dog liver oil or a midnight dog 'REE TO EVERY READER OF TIIIS PAPER.-In order to introduce the Diamond Spring Wheat in this section, I will send a small package of sample grains, with special terms to agents, nd my Seed' Catalogue for 1878, free of charge to every reader of this paper on receipt of a three cent stamp to pay postage. The Diamond Wheat is theA largest in the world. It grows and ~ T~t~A Al'OUT THE TOWN AND COUNTY. The weather beats all ; and The clerk deserves beating of all. Last Wednesday will Iong be remem bered. Mud is abominably plentiful again. A mud scow is as much need as a fire engine. The consumption of sugar during the sleet was considerable ; it was not all wasted in sleet and milk. Hot toddies absorbed some of it. Our devil says the weather as com pared with that of the regions below aint worth a cent. Trial Justices are the hardest work ed men in the country. Cry of the farmers-more main more rest. Just as we were thinking of getting out our rhyming machine to write an ode on Spring, it commenced to sleet. 1 Consider your shelterless -eattle this inclement weather. - The successful man-one W10 is out of debt. The man who pays his subscription is a ditto. Valentine's day is the most important up for consideration now, and if the oys and girls want to be sucessful they must buy a good supply of Valen t2 t :ines. A handsome lot for sale at this >ffice. Job Printing still executed at this >ffice in a neat and expeditious man ner. Falling in love is like falling down tairs-we dont know how it happens. Some people entertain the idea that % newspaper can be sustained Without c noney. It's amistake. The number of people in town on Uonday was immense, and as every ther man came in on a mule there was S onsiderable braying. Heise, the candy man, says he never aw the like before, and asks if it will le s every day during court. The de and for his candy took him by sur >rise, Which has induced him to treat t he editor. s A number of horses and mules were 1 old on Monday at extravagantly low t )rices. We advise our people to have an t biding hope that things will be better e e of these days-say about one or. wo thousand years from now. In pa ience possess ye your souls if the bot om does look like it's falling out. What is the Cornet band doing ? Let is hear from you boys? It is about time for the washing ma ,hine man to perambulate. A machine 5 vhich will wash without soap is the nly kind that will give satisfaction. An individual who has to wade a long listance through the mud says the wea her last week was only good for one hing-to burn out chimneys. Think of a first class paper only cost- I ng four cents a week, postage inclu led. The borrowver wears out more in hoe leather going after his neighbor's >aper.

Elenty of superannuated horses in thet ~ounty every bit as poor as the cows. The lament made last week about ;he scarcity of amusements has been eard-the Carolina minstrels and the kruber family have taken pity on us. It is rep6rted in Prosperity that Po aria entertains the hope that the Le ;islature will pass a bill to remdve the ourt House to the latter city. *The Dounty Commissioners are advised to send a petition that it be not done. It is our decided opinion that -opera ione in the garden should be deferred ror the present. Uncle Teague has been doing somei shing lately. He has several new ,rinkles in the art.

The swine crop is doing finely in this section. We regret to report a good deal of ickness. The morals of this section are good with the exception of one or two hard eases who, when they get out of temper spell mad dog backwards. There are two young persons in this section wvho desire the services of a prson-when they secaire him you shall know the particulars. The derald grows in favor more and rmore every day-long may it wave, over the land of the free and the-home of the brave-which includes Poverty A GIFT TO ALL.-A pair of hand some 53x8 chromos are given free to every one who subscribes for three months to Leisure hours, a large 16 page literary paper, filled with the best stories, poetry, etc., by writers of established reputation. The papers sent will contain the opening chapters of a charming story entitled "Holden ith the Cords," by the author of "Shiloh." "My Winter in Cuba," etc. The publishers, J. L. l'atten & Co., 16> Wilam Stret New York, have The Printers Circular thinks it costs less than half a cent a day to take a weekly paper ; less than a diligent hen would earn in a month at the market price of eggs ; less than a cigar a fort night, and a very cheap one at that; less than the barber would charge by the year to keep one's hair trimmed; less than a good sized Christmas tur key. Less than an energetic kitchen irl will waste in a week. A penny a :lay can be saved in many a better way than by stopping your paper. Foutz' Mixture or Liniment is used :01 over the United States, because it is he best for all diseases on man or beast. 4-4t. "A little nonsense now and then is elished by the best of men"-so thinks reader of the HERALD who sends the ollowing for the local: "How many are there ov ye's down here?" shouted an Irish overseer to ;ome men in a coal pit. "Five," was :he answer. "Well, then, the half ov e's come up here," said he. Why is a widower so much like a ouse in a dilapidated condition? Be :ause he wants to be re-paired. A boy's idea of having a tooth drawn nay be summed up as follows: The loctor hitched fast on me, pulled his >est, and just before it killed me, the ooth came out. "Is it wrong to cheat lawyers?". was -ecently ably discussed by the n.cmbers > a debating society. The conclusion rrived at was that it was not wrong, iut impossible. A GENTLE HINT. In our style of climate, with its sud en changes of temperature,-rain, vind and sunshine often intermingled n a single day,-it is no wonder that ur children, friends and relatives are o frequently taken from us by neglect d colds, half ,the deaths resulting di ectly from this cause. A bottle of oschee's German Syrup kept about our home for immediate use will pre ent serious - siekness, a large doctor's ill, and perhaps death, by the use of bree or four doses. For curing Con umption, Hemorrages, Pneumonia, 'evere Coughs, Croup or any disease of be Throat or Lungs, its success is sim ily wonderful, as your druggist will eli you.

EXPERIENCE OF A YOUNG WoMAN-A country girl, young, pretty and happy, her step was elastic and the roses of health bloomed Upon her cheek. One April morn she was overtaken by a "spiring shower," and caught a cold. It was her "particular time," arnd suppres sion was tihe result. A t the next "period" nature refused to act. Sbe became sallow, swollen and suffered intensely with pain in the back and "lower stomach," palpitations, difficulty of breathing, indigestion and head ache. Doctors failed to palliate her distressed condition, and she longed for death as the only hope for relief. At the instance of a frie~nd, who herself experienced its benefits, she was induced to try Dr. J. Bradfield's Fe male Regulator. One bottle cured her. She. was again the happy girl she was that April morning before the shower. The Female Rtegulatr is prepared by Dr. J. Bradfield, Atlanta, Ga., at S1.50 per bottle and kep i b all respectable drug men throughout the A MOST EXCELLENT REMEDY. ATLANTA, GA., March 12, 1870. I have examinecd the recipe of Bradtield's Female Regulator, and from my knowledge of its ingredients, believe it a most excellent medicine, and well suited to that class of dis eases designated. I have no hesitation in ad vising its use, and confidently recom'iend it to the ublic. JOEL BRANIIAM, M1. D. For sale by Drs. S. F. Fant, Pope & Ward law, W. . Peiham and XW. F. Pratt 5-2t -NOTICE. Al per.ons haing claims agaiinst the Es College column. G. D. IIALTIWANGER, EditingCommittee G. B. CROMER, Communications designed for this column to be directed to the Editing Committee, Newberry, S. C. True Inwardness of Newberry College. The suj--t of education so far as it re lates to primary and preparatory schools, is b no mcans an unimiportaut o'ie. It is gratiting to observe that our best educa lois have of la'e yv.irs been giving it a large and just shire of attention. It is a difficult task, if properly performed, to put boys through the various stages of preparation for college. Improvement in text books and the methods of imparting knowledge, is constantly going on and it is only a good fitting-school connected with a college that can fully avail itself of these advantages. For example, the Preparatory School in connection with Newberry College is under the direct supervision of the faculty, to all of whom the advancement of the pupil is a matter of equal interest. In fact, the reci ations are so distributed that one teacher has not the entire control of any of the more a-vanced classes in the preparatory department. The chief advantage, how ver, arising from the connection of a pre paratory school with the college, is that 'the instructors, holdiug the students a onger period of time, can arrange their work more systematically and secure in a bigher degree, the fruits of a continuous ind faithful drill." Many a young man :omes to the college an applicant, for in itance, for the Freshman class. He deems iimnself thoroughly prepared, having spent ime enough, as is nearly always the case, o have been fitted for the Sophomote class. kn examination reveals glaring defects in uis training. Suppose him, however, ad nitted into the class for which he is a can lidate. There he is. He begins under lisadvantages which may be a stumbling dock to him throughout his whole course. Lt every step difficulties present themselves rhich would never have appeared but for uis defective preparation at the outset. )u entering, a student should have a good undation already laid, if his college edu ation amounts to anything like a solid and ;vstematical structure. To this end, his iurest plan would be to seek the fitting ichool connected with the college at which e could graduate. 'He will thus avoid dis Ldvanz.ages already alluded to, and steer lear of quacks disguised in the -garb of the oble calling of the teacher. There is a umerous class of teachers, so calle d, whose )nly skill is in restraining the pupils within he narrow limits of their own attainments, ,d their adroitness in keeping a boy two r three years doing what lie ought easily accomplish in six months, is truly won lerul. The evils i,flicted upon young ninds by these charlatans, are, in most ~ases, direelly chargeable to parents. Too any men are content if there is a school n the neighborhood, no matter whether he teacher is an ass or not. It follows hat the precious years of many a youth are ~ntirey lost. It has been s.aid that "a ~heap teacher is the cheapest of all com nodities," and we are somewhat inclined to >elieve it. The course of instruction in the college, 2ropr, is such as to secure what is regard Id the first object of a collegiate education, hat is, to develop and draw out the mind, o furnish a thorough groundwork on which the student may afterward build any 5tructure he pleases ; and at the same time, to give general knowledge and such edu oation as may be put to use in the learned rofesions or in any department of busi ness. Natural Philosophy, Chemistry, and Astronomy are given due prominence. The course in Mathematics, Greek and Latin is excellent. The study of Mathe matics is of great practical importance ; besides, it serves a good purpose by calling into active exercise the necessary powers of the mind. The study of Greek with its great variety of stems and terminations in the declension of nouns and conjugation of verbs, improves the memory and trains the mind to exactness. Moreover, the study of Greek and Roman classes not only furnish the miad salutary exercise, but is also ac quaints the student intimately with the most accomplished orators, poets, and philosophers that have ever lived. No study is more re.ned and elevating than Greek Literature, "the most original, in ventive, brilliant, and influential that has ever existed." Says Max Muller: "The songs of Homer, the dialogues of Plato, and the speeches of Demosthenes, stand, if not unrivaled, at least unsurpassed by anything that has been achieved by their descendants and pupils." It should not be supposed, however, that attention is paid to the an cent classics to the utter exclusion of our own language and literature. English Grammar and English Literature are given special prominence. We know that the idea is prevalent, and not without reason. that nothing practical or useful is to be learned at a college ; that the student is taught a great deal about Greece and Rome and very little or nothing at all about his own country ; he is carried through a great course of Mathematics, and finally, when he is graduaLted, succeeds very pootly at adding fractions arnd can't co'ant interest at all; he can speak the Greek or Litin lan guage fluently, so far as any body knows or cares, but can't speak his own. This is not true, however, in tihe case of Newberry College. If there is a single Dominic Samp so in the faculty of this institution, we haven't the pleasure of his acquaintance. The instructors, to a mini, recogniz3 the fact that this is eminently a practical and progrssive age. We have stated what they regard as the true object of educationi, and the means arc suited to the end They teach a thing with reference to its applica bility. If some institutions make It their hief aim to turn out a "race oI pedagogues," it is not so with Newberry College. We will concude with a summarized repetition of the object of instruction as understood by the faculty :To draw out and discipline he mind of the pupil, and moreover "to teach him facts and principles which he can apply and use in the work of his life."
