These Powders not only make Kero sene Oil perfectly safe and prevent the breaking of chimneys by the heat, but cause the oil to give a milder and bet ter light. This end is reached by de stroying the gas in the oil. Gas is known to make an intense heat, con sequently in destroying the gas the greater portion of the heat in the blaze is done away with, leaving ordinary fire heat but no gas heat. These facts practically demonstrated at my Drug Store at any time. For sale only at W. E. PELHAM'S IRON-COLUMN DRUG STORE. 10-tf The AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST for March is an interesting and valuable number, treating on alr matters rela tive to farm, stock, fruit, &c. It is de cidedly one of the best Agricultural papers published, and an investment of $1.50 in it will pay a handsome profit. Send the price to the Orange Judd Co., 145 Broadway, N. Y.

FIRE IN THE WOODS,-In th~e neigh orhoCd of Mr. Thomas M. Lake's place he broom .sedge took fire on Saturday orning last, and soon assumed a seri us character. Fo miles around peo :e were summoned to Sght it; after mch damage had been done in the de struction of fences it was finally checked bout sundown. It ranged toward Ja lapa and in direction of Kinard's, and swept over an extent of some four miles. It is not known bow it origina ed. THE BEST THING OF AL.L.-The most mportant discovery of the times is the wonderful pbwder now on sale at Dr. W. E. Pelham's Drug Store, a very small portion of which placed within your lamp or oil can, prevents explo sion by any possible or impossible accident, and not only that, but its hemical properties so act upon the chimney of the lamp that that very breakable and therefore expensive ar tie will not break, however great the flame that is brought to bear upon it. We look upon it as a valuable discovery, in view of the many horrible accidents resulting from the careless handling of kerosene, as by the use of this powder the danger is altogether removed. The skeptical can have all their doubts dis sipated by calling on Dr. P. who will put both to the severest tests. The powder costs 50 ets. a box, one of which is sufBicient for six gallons of oil. JALAPA ITEMS. Farmers are busy preparing their lands for cultivation. Some planted corn last week. Gardeners are "up and doing." Wheat generally looks badly. Jno. B. Campbell has a tield of the best in the County-no exceptions. There bas been more fencing done this year than usual: we will not need he fence law for :two years yet. Mrs. W. L.

In the Herald of last issue we gave a hurried account of our trip down to .Charleston, and the railroad mishap by the way; and reaching the city with whole bones and the hope that a bad beginning would give us agood ending for the return trip, we were prepared to enjoy the entertainment afforded, both of a public and private character. As to the celebration which called so many thousands of outside barbarians to the city it is too late now to write suffice it, it was a splendid occasion, and we have no doubt that every one felt that it was good to be there and would be willing now to make endorsement, that the good people of the city by the sea are entitled to any amount of praise. The day ~was charmingly auspicious, clear and balmy, but the rain of the day before made it unpleasant under foot, especially to the military, which in a very short time were covered with mud of the blackest kind-the yellow country mud is prettier to look at-but the soldier boys did not care for the mud while beautiful eyes looked down and smiled on them from above. Enjoying a promenade on the battery, and feeling as big as a sunflower, as all countrymen do while looking at the vast expanse of water tiecked with all kinds of craft, we. were suddenly brought down from the contemplation of the sublime to an awful reality of the ridiculous,-tbe pants of our young. est boy had ripped open from stem to stern-it was an awful moment. We had but one pin and a very small one, but if we could induce him to walk like all other boys and cease from jumping, that one pin might suffice. But jump he would and did, and again the ends fluttered in the breeze, and we found it neeessary to get him home. The stitch ing on those pants was done on a Wil cox machine, and the end of the thread was not secured-hence this accident. If any of our readers take boys to the city, let them not only be sure that the stitches are right, but that they have more than one pin in the Iappel of their coat. Passing through market street a bas ket of live crabs attracted the attention of that boy, while the old woman who ad them for sale attracted ours. Turn ing up the whites of her eyes, said she, "hab fait, look here," pointing to the basket, "dis mornin de basket was full, now he mos empty, fait done it, bless de lord," and with the cry of "sea rabs" on her lips we left the old lady. A 6.40 ride on the plank road in a spring wagon, behind a horse which was accustomed to stopping at all the lager beer saloons on the road, was an experience which we do not advise our friends to indulge in; it was a business trip on our part, and the many gay youths and maidens who passed and repassed our slow coach.we trust so considered it. We trust the authorities will repair the plank road ere we make another visit. A visit to the shirt and garment fac ory of the Langly Br,os., og Kjing Street, gave us the gratifying proof of what energy and perseverence will accom plish. But a short wyhile ago these gentlemen started their factory under ircumstances anything but encour agig, and to-day they are reaping their reward in a splendid business, and are able to give employment to forty ladies who daily make up a variety of gar nents frony plain to elaborate, and at the most mnoderat.e prices. Reader, if you visit the city be sure and yisi.t the Langly factory. Their advertisement appears in the Herald. The days spent in Charleston were pleasant indeed, but when the hour for leaving arrived we began to think once more of run ogs and smashes. To show ow it turned out. we left at 9.50 p. in., and between one and two o'clock eased up to give the iron horse rest, falling asleep at this point, nothing more was known untii waking about 4 o'clock it was discovered that the train bad nqt moved in all the interval, there was another run off some miles below Pranchville. There was no fire in the stove and it wa.s .cold, daylight dawned, and no prospect of advance. The ex press which left Charleston at- 5 in the morning took a few of the luckless pas sengers off. and steamed up to the place. of accident, when wye again had the pleasure of laying to. About 9, the ob struction moved, we had the privilege of moving, and good time was made, but in spite of extra speed Columbia was not reached until near 12 o'clock; fortunately Gol. D. had kindly con sidered our situation and kept the train waiting. So after all, the damage done was but slight, and we are again home, with the boy and his damaged pants. In all our past experience we never be fore had a run' off at both ends of a journey, not to mention the mishap which befell the boy in his breeches. The Richmond D)ispatch has the fol lowing of the February number of The Planter, published in Richmond Va., at g year: "The Southern Playl'er and Farmer for February sustains the wvell-mnerited repuationl of that periodical. It is al most entirely made of original articles from the pens of practical farmers and agriculturalists. Dr. ElIzey, Dr. Pol lard, the editor, and others, combine to pro~uce a periodical that is a credit to the State. Our views do not coincide' with {4heirs on some of the topics which they treat, b'4 We appreciate none the ess the value of the Blanter and Farm AtOUT THE TOWN AND COUNTY. Have you seen the daisies ? Look out for fair weather occasion ally, And prepare now for vigorous gar dening. It is not absolutely necessary to plani in the moon. This will be a good fruit year-if tht blossoms are not injured by frost. The Senior has returned from Charles ton, and is ready to receive calls. Henry Burns expects to move intc his new quarters in a few days. The air is redolent with the breath of the fragrant guano, Why is the average school girl so bright? Because she has a lad in mind. Now is the time to have your job printing done-prices are low down. A drove of wild geese flew over town Saturday morning on their*way North. The band entertained ye young pea ple at the Hall a few nights ago. Sweet potatoes were in great demand the early part of last week. To show how unreasonable some peo ple are, a hen is now asked for which will lay a foundation stone. Now for envyings -and heartburnings -Savannah already boasts of green peas and new potatoes. Several chicken stealing dogs have lately received passports to go where the woodbine twineth. The Lenten season commences to day. Some would prefer to hear that the returning season had commenced. Coppock & Johnson say they are go ing to rip things all to pieces-although their circular saw is made of zinc. The amusement season has nearly passed at Newberry. We have had but little chance to laugh and grow fat. Is there any thing doing in regard to getting up a fire company with a good engine? Isn't one needed? Cy Clopps in the- College column treads on dangerous ground-the girls will go for him. In a few years, if the shade trees all grow, Neawberry will be the best place to loaf in the State. If your girl declines your offer to see her home, ask her if you can't sit on the fence and see her go by. The Hall of the Y. M. C.

Siam is preparing for war, and Eng land is bellicose-farmers will therefore ake heed and plant plenty of corn. Advertise in the dull season and make :usiness-the merchant who advertises egularly and with judgment will reap a reward. Robins are plentiful, or rather were iii th~e 190ys killed so many. A young entleman in town killed seventeen one day last week. The lien law is again in force-it will be found in another column. We ad vise the people not to lean on it too neavily. It is regretted that the Herald fails ccasionally to reach some of its sub scribers-postmasters are in fault and not the publishers. The paper is mailed :eguarly. Young ladies in Newberry will take warning from the example of a girl in Wisconsin who refused an offer of mar riage on the ground that her father was not able to support a larger family. Many mothei's raise their daughters on the principle of teaching them first o play on the piano, second, to dress, third to dance, and sew fourth. Dr. S. F. Fant has in store a preserv ng luiq, wb ich for excellence cannot be beat. Fruits put up in this fluid are pronounced as good as when freshly plucked. John Smith, the funny man, formerly of Nebery, is living~ in Charleston, we saw him a few days since, and also, Mr. Jacoby, who has lately removed to that city with the intention of opening a first class jewelry store on King Street. It was cloudy and cold the day Prof. Kelly photographed the Mower block. How do you know? Because one fel low has an umbrella in his hand, and all the rest have their hands in their breeches pockets. The pictures are very good. A TIME TO DANCE.-Much has been said and Written against dancing, but will show that under certain circum s'tances there is no harm in danging. 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 fantastic when th maid says "I didn't go to do it." Crockery will break and the women will dance, -and the husband ays the piper. But after all not much harm is done, an the remedy is so siin pIe whereby the domestic sky can be cleared.

MOLLORON, NEWBERRY CO., S. C., February 18th, 1878. At a m;eeting of a goodly number of tag citizens of No. 4 Township, at Flint lill Church, to-day, for the purpose of effecting orgar.izations among the colored people of the whole county for certain purposes, it was agreed that, WHEREAS, The colored race are surrounded by dan gers, the necessary consequence of a want of moral and mental education,that their social duties to each other are often neglected, par ticularly in the matter of attention to the sick and dead-that the ( bristian sympathy and fraternity of feeling is jeopardized, and there is a lack of unity in the attainment of worldly advantages, in securicg their right% and in accordinig to their. iceighbors in: formation and protection of their rights that may be infringed upon. Therefore, be it Resolved, 1st. That we propose the form ation of a Christian Association composed of men and wormen of good moral standing, and to est.ablish and name a society or so cieties in each township of the county, to avoid the dal,gers, correct th~e evils and carry out the objects above recited. 2nd. That each society shall establish the fee for membership, monthly fees, and fines for absence or violation of any rules. 3d The o&icers of each society shall con sist of a President, two Vice-Presidents, one Recording Secretary, one Correspond ing Secretary, Treasurer, two Marshals, a Chaplain and an Executive Committee of five members. 4th. Tihat at no meeting of any society shall the merits or claims of any candidate for political office, or political organization, be made the subject of diseinssiQIm 5th. That a charter or lleense to form a society shall be granted first by the execu tive committee to-day appoit.ted, or elected by the first society organized, and there after such leave shall be granted in other townships by the nearest executive comn mittee. oFFIcERs.

NEXT TOWN Ahead where they loan you a dollar and chalk it down till to-morrow, for a bottle of MERRELL's HEPATINE for the Liver- The enormous expense of im porting the ingredients of this great liver medicine into this country, is why our Druggist Dr. S. F. Fant sells but one sample bottle to the same person for ten cents ; but as there are fifty doses in the large size bottles, it is cheap enough after all at two cepts per dose for a nidcine that has never been known to fail in the cure of dys pepsia and all diseases of the liver.

DEAR GEORGE : I know that I am about to make myself very unpopu!ar. I know that both sexes under thirty yeairs of age, as fir down. I am sorty to say in these times of precocity, as the day of shedding the last nilk-tooth, will denounce me for a fool. Little do I care for that, however, so long as characteristic curiosity will force them. to read these letters. I say then, fearlessly, that the great obstacle in the way of thoroughness in collegiate, as well as preparatory training of the mind, is girls. Our first parents came into the world. adults-full-grown people. There had been no prejaration for social position by youth. ful conformity to rules. Adam never was under the necessity of scratching with the point of a thorn upon'a red rose petal (the only available writing materials in those days) a note to Eye, requesting the per mission to visit her, and sit up with her un til bed time. Nor could she, by any possi bility, write an answer regretting that she was compelled to decline the pleasure of his company, in consequence of a previous engagement. Every condition of this primitive courle is full of instruction for their posterity. The manner of their crea tion shows that the conduct of maturity should not be anticipated in youth; and this inculcation can be traced ibrough the patriarchal ages, f-r more than a thousand years. It was 4nly when Isaac was a full grown man, that his father sent a trusty servant to a distant land,-the land of his kindred,-for the purpose of selecting a wife for his son; and lie married his cousin Bekky without asking any questions. Ja cob it seems never thought of marriage until after he bad grappled with some of the most trying responsibilioies of life, such as being too shrewd for his brother Esau,-and then married a woman whom he had never seen in his youth. The mighty Samson intrusted to his father the matter of his marriage,-just as they did here in the piney woods when my father was a young man. In the iapse to degenera tion, the deviations from the custom haye become innumerable. Tho substitution of girls for ready- made women was cert.ainly a merciful change in the plan of creation ; and gave both sexes, in their gradual de velopment, opportunity of avoiding the presentation of temptation, on the one part, and of opposing resistance to it on the other. But unfortunatpiy ia has come to pass that girls are offeriug the bitter ap pie to youths, before they, on both sides have left off wearing the garlic amulet around their necks for the prevention of whooping cough. Thus, instead of iry proving the time given them for creating themselves,-exercising themselves, in con ve.rgence toevards steadfastness by inclirra tions,-they so suffer their affections to divaricate, (knowing that I am subject to the criticism of Collegians, I may, now and then, select a word that overleaps the re quirement,) divaricate, that when they come to the actualities of life,-the position where Adam and Eve began-they have no concentration of purpose. This being the o'pinion of a very wise and discreet friend of mine, as well as the result of my own observation, I r.ust insist on it, that girls are hurtful to any kind of pro fioienoy. In fact, they ought to be sup pressed ; as is clearly authorized by the lesson contained in primitive formation of woinan. How was it ? While she was in process of development the man was in a deep sleep, therefore, oh ye young men, sleep *hile the girls are growing. Have no knowledge of them, take no interest in them, until they become as thorough wo men as Dolly Socks thinks she is, herself. Observe, again, that the man, previously to his acquaintance with the woman. had given names to all the plants and animals. This surely is an inculcation for all students to be thoroughly instructed in the sciences, at least in Botany and Natural History, be fore they bring on the necessity of spwing fig leaves togethey. -By-the-bye, I have had a vision about fig leaves. It is impossible for me to point the many shades of interference with which girls mo lest a college curriculum. A polun;u in a newspaper is not sufficient space. I can do no more at this time thani ask if the follow lng questions do not strike near the truth. Grave Senior, have you never opened your Mental Philosophy, and found a chap ter of the Chibdrei <(f .the Ahhey staring you in the face ? Have you been able to explain the phenomenon otherwise than by the recollection that some young lady said she always cried when she read that cele brated romance ? Gentie Junior, have you never had a page of Griffith Gaunt to come between your eyes and your Horace, because you heard a sighing maiden say, that jealousy was. truly a delight? Tender ?reg, hast thou tqqt oftyg~ turned away thine eyes from thine Elementary Algebra, and stealtbily read under the left lappel of thy jacket, a little book entitled, Why does not Fido eat Gandy? Was it :ot because thou didst hgz a little twelve year-old damsel, who had not yet ceased to "smell of bread and butter," declare that it was a charming little volume ? Dare any of you deny it ? No ? Then there is no necessity for me to write any more on this part of the subject. An appropriate illustration, if it be true, is better than a studied syllogism. (Excuse me). I will give one to point you the "old paths wherein is the ggyd way," hoping that you will "walk ther3jy 4n4 find rest for your weary souls." (Jer. vi. 16). If the rule has proved profitable to a rough black smith, it will be the same in more refined circles; just as an oak that is good for hamnes near the root is good for planks~ as, high nn a the divaricazio,ns into limbs. worked the hellows. Not only that, but she took hold of the light sledge hammer and struck upon the glowing iron. This is an illustration of what a woman will do, who never bothered a ian until he got his trade. It made tears drop from my eyes and fry upon the red-hot plough-mole; and I resolved to help Elviry in her line of work, for helping me in mine. Up to this time, however, she has never let me have a chance. Yours as ever and forever, GY CLOPPS.
