The Library Magazine. Is what people of literary taste have long been wanting. The neatest and handiest in form of all the monthlies, I and very much the cheapest, it gives from the pens of the ablest living writ ers a choice variety of articles, both timely and entertaining. No. 2, just reauy, contains articles by Gladstone, R". A. Proctor, Prof. Blaikie, Bayne, Julia Kavanawgh. M. Monod, Canon Curteis, and other writers lest famous, but hardly less interesting. There are 128 pages, and the price is 10 cents a number or 81 a year. A3NE1ICAN BooK EXCHANGE, Publishers, 55 Beekman Street, New York. Tno.mrsoN, Dentist. over Mower's Store.

The AM1ERICAN BOOK EXCHANGE is becoming famous for meeting the wants of people who care for books, and thousands will appreci ate this new opporttunity they give. Diabolical Deed. About nine o'clock Monday evening, the barn of Mr. Jesse Dobbins was dis covered on fire, and although the neigh bors promptly rallied, barn, stables, crib, wagon, gears, corn, fodder. four mules, and one mare, were totally con sumed. Not a thing could be saved, sc wvell was the plan conceived, and so ra pid the fire. The scene of this terrible ..saster was on Mrs. Mathias Barre's plantation, four miles from town, and which was rented by Mr. Dobbins. Two of the mules belonged to Mrs. Barre. This is a serious loss and should make a powerful appeal to the generous hearted to contribute he.lp to the losers, and we hope that steps will be at once taken to that end. There wv as no insu rance. It is hoped too that the arch fiend who did the deed may be speedily overtaken and punished. Sale-day. The Sheriff sold only a few parcels 02 land Sale-day. James N.

Thewh m. no-rm-mance was satisfactory. The Prince of Periodicals. For household reading, Woods Mlfaga .-jnc, the March number of which is al ready 'efore us, has justly been styled "The Prince of Periodicals." It is a well-known fact that the really smart things which make any author's repu tation are but a small proportion of all his published writings. Mr. Wood's plan is to select from the world of lit erature only the verY best articles. Which are classilied into about thirty different departments, comprising al most every variety of amusing, interest ing and instructive household topics. We are especialIy requested to announce that this notice will count as one dollar in payment for something which no temperance reader can afford to do without. Hence we advise every hater of rum, tobacco and opium to cut this out and forward to S. S. Wood, Tri bune Building, New York City. Also enelose 10c. for sample copy of the Magazine. Right Kind of Committees. The Teller Committee have made in vestigations but from all accounts very little has been accomplished, except an expenditure of time and money. Other committees of whom better things are expected are about to rise and explain. Every busy little woman who has the care of a big man and a number of children is a self constituted committee of one-we like small committees with full powers to do as she pleases. Her investigations are close and search ing. She has been sitting and when she makes her report it will be with no ,incertain sound. A correct inventory of every broken or missing piece of crockery, china, glass or other ware will be given to the head of the family, who will dutifully make out an order to Kingsland & Heath, of Columbia, for the articles needed. That this popular house will give satisfaction it is needless to say-those who have tried it tes tify on that point. 10-tf The Newberry Fire. The fire at Newberry last week was one of very considerable proportions, the number of buildings destroyed be ing about fifteen, all of which were busi ness houses containing more or less of varied merchandise. The total losses according to our Newberry exchanges, the HERALD and -ews, amount to about 65,000, with insurance of a little over $40,000. Strange to say that, notwithstanding this is the fourth conflagration Newberry has experienced in the last forty years, to say nothing of numerous small fires, there is not a fire engine, nor a thoroughly organized fire company in the town. Newberry, commercially, is regarded as one of the most enterpris ing towns in the tip country, and it is scarcely credible that such a town, with fully 2,500 inhabitants, and with her bitter experience of the past two years in p)articular, should not awake to the great importance of an efficient fire de partment. The origin of this fire, like many others, is a mystery.-Rock Hill Hemld. The Laurens Court. Messrs. Baxter, Caldwell and Pope, who attended the Laurens Court to take part in the defense of the murder cases returned Thursday and Saturday great ly fatigued by their laborious efforts. The defence of McNinch was conducted with marked skill and ability as wvas also the prosecution. The speech of Mj. Baxter in defense is said to have been one of the best efforts of his life. Irby being called could not be found for trial, and his bondsmen are required to show cause at the next term of Couirt why his bond should not be estreated. We understand that he has made such arrangements as to indemnify his bonds men from all loss on account of his non appearance. The case of Black well, indicted with the two former for the murder of WV. C. Kilgore, was continued on motion of the Solicitor. The counsel for McNineh moved for a new trial, and this being refused they appealed. Judge Aldrich sentenced him to be hanged the fourth Friday (27th) of June. School Teachers. The Board of Examiners, consisting of Geo. S. Mower, Nsq., F. Werber, Jr., Esq., and Mr. Hi. S. Boozer, School Commissioner, began the examination the 24th ult., of applicants for teachers positions in the public schools. The xaiainoccupied the entire week.

The 17th instant will be St. Patrick's Dav. March came in like a lamb--weather pleasant. A man who don't know auything will tell it the first chance he gets. The Town Council have put up sev eral new lamps in different portions of town. Be very careful about fires this windy month, or you may have another house to build. The next important season will be Easter, but do not look for it until the 13th of April. The individual who was accidentally injured by the discharge of his duty is still very low. A young gentleman up on Little River has spoken to the preacher and engaged bis services. In ten thousand years from now it is said that the world will be covered with water thirty feet deep. Mr. Rich'd Dunlap, of Laurens Coun tv. tbree miles above Milton, died last Friday night of pneumonia. Drummers are as plentiful as black berries in their season. Insurance agents not far behind in number. We are pleased to hear that Mr. ain( Mrs. George Hipp are better of a very severe attack of the same disease. Squire Hunter and "Blue John" were in town Monday. Master and horse were in good conditicn. There were several other people in town-and sonic of them subscribed for the IIERiALD)-thanks. We are in luck this week-the fine cow lost last Fall and which was sup posed had been converted into hash has been heard from. All the signers of the declaration of independence signed their names with quill pens except one-lie signed his Witherspoon. The scrubbing given by Mr. T. Q. Boozer to the walls of his building ef fected a partial removal of the fire burned mud. The long summer days are coming when the farmer will have resting spells, and time to read the news. Take the Newberry HERALD. A man never wants to laugh when a fly lights on his nose, but he is very much tickled nevertheless. When fly titue comes, think of this. Mr. Jacob Pv4ysinger says that one of his stoutest hands is likely to die of the prevailing "epizootic" or "grip," which is all over the country. Nothing can exceed the intense af fection which a girl deals out to her father for a day or two before the time when she's going to ask for a new dress. Now that the planting season is at hand, it behooves the farmer to consider well his programme. Give corn and all provision crops the largest place on the farm. The prayer meeting held at Aveleigh Chureb on Thursday night in behalf of the youth of the Churches, and institu tions of learning proved an interesting occasion. We heard a gentleman say the other day thait he would not be satisfied if he had a million.- Don't know wvhether we would or not, but would like to try the experiment. "Your late husband, madame," be gan her lawyer. "Yes, I know he was always late out o'nights, but now that he's dead don't let us upbraid him," said his charitable wvidow. If you want any trimming, fancy, general gardening or job work done in a neat and satisfactory manner call on Adam WVendler. He can do as much work in one day as any two men. A young lady said to her lover: 'Carley,how far is it around the world ?' 'About twenty-four inches, my darling,' replied he, as his arm encircled her waist. She was all the world to him. Strolling around the suburbs the other afternoon we wvere pleased to notice the tastily arranged fiowver yard of the wife of Street Supeintendent J4ckson. Tru? ly a wilderness can be made to blossom as a rosa. A colored child on Mr. Win. Satter white's place, near Bush River Church, has diphtheria. It is not expected to get well. Some of Mr. Satterwhite's family have diphtheria also, but not se riously. The latest and best of the season is a mixipature edition, done-up in cloth, of our clever young hardware dealer of Mollohon Row. Our congratulations are offered. Another vote for the Dem ocratic pat ty in 1900. Last Sunday was the birthday of the Senior editor and was befittingly cele brated.

Congratulations are now in order. ,Whenever a man begins to feel that -he is so great that th epuntry is stand ing in the middle of the yoad waiting ,for him to come by, it is about time for is friends to look up some soft place in a lunatic asylatu to lay him down in. [Cincinnati Breakfast Table. One of our old quid nunes thinks we can get water enough for fire purposes by building a reservoir on college hill and bringing the water to towvn through -,wodn ninpe noensr or cisternsiit got knocked down by being run against as soon as he arrived on the ground. The late fire in Spartanburg happen ed next door to the branch Hardw:-o Store of our fellow townsman, Mr. S. P. Boozer. Luckily for him and others that town has a fire engine and the flawes were easily extinguished. The Lexington Diqpatch Says, --a deeply interesting and thrilling tale from the pen of Mr. T. P. Slider, will ho commeniced in the DispatchA at an early date, and will run through several ii. in bers. The scenes are laid within this County and about the Court ik,:s-. A mule without any front teeth in the under jaw was sold from a drove on Monday. The animal was horn in that melancholy fix. His corn has to L shelled for him. That mule shold have belonged to "Uncle Ned, who had no teeth to eat the hoe cake." Mr. Cash's new building in rear of the Court House, which lie will use as a store room until lie rebuilds his store, is nearing completion. It is a quite a large affair, being seventy-two feet logi and thirty feet WidC and ten feet fron! flooring to ceiling. The sexton of the Methodist Churh b does riot always work in conijunction with the clerk of the weather. Not be ing correctly informed Sunday after noon that the night would he warni lie had his stoves in full blast, and in con sequence the congregation were in a melting condition. A Nursery agent assured us last week that he had sold to the amount of SCO for delivery in town, and $1,300 in all for the County. This is the report of only one agent. There have been sev eral others about. We hope our Po maria Nursery is getting its proportion of the very liberal orders given. Our local reporter in a vision a few nights since saw two of the legal fra-1 ternity of Newberry in a singular con dition-one dissolved in tears and then other seated in an ash bin en naturali bus. The latter says the interpretation as regards himself is that sackcloth and ashes is his poltion. In Siberia you can buy beef for two cents a pound, a goose for twelve cents, a chicken for four cents, a horse for five dollars, and 361 pounds of corn for six cents, and you can shoot bears out of your parlor window. Yet strange to say no man goes there of his own free will. An unfortunate editor barely escap)ed the breaking of a leg by tripping over one of Coppock & Johnson's plows inI front of their store on Monday. The Jun ior partner conmpromised the matter by getting a six months suiscription from a worthy citizen of Jalapa, who. though never ordained after Melchisedee's or any other priestly order is nevertheless a Bishop. "Poor Herbert! How I wish you did not have to slave so at that horrible store from morning till night!" said his wife as, with a fond caress, she seated her self on her husband's knee, and gently stroked the auburn locks from his slo ping brow. And the grave, stern man of business understood her at on ce, and answered: "Well, Susie, what is it-a bonnet or what? Go light on me for money is scareer'n ever." Old Aunt Betsy Sligh (Capt. Phil's better half), than whom no better lives, was in town on Monday. A visit from her is such a rarity we are obliged to notice it, and what is still better she tabernacled at the little cottage attached to the HERALD office. Well do we re member the cold night during the war that she took us in and made us com fortable, and many other happy occa~ sons. One would naturally supp5ose that the Auditor, tax collector and assistants not only see and handle enough of the ilthy lucre to be used to it, but that they are also liberally heeled; it is not so, however. IHappening to draw a few nickels from our pocket the other day in that oflice, every fellow from the boss down gathered around to see them. Ed. said it was so long since he had seen any, he'd forgotten whether they were round or square. Poor fellows, it wont be long erc tax timie cozaes. Personial. We are sorry to learn that Mr. Hien ry H. Blease is still quite ill. Dr. D. WV. Patton is just recovering from a severe spell of Pneumonmia. J. Y. Culbreath and W. H. Wallace, lawyers, whose offices were burned by the late fire, have secured offices over Maj. Baxter's lawv office. J. F. J. Caldwell, Esq.,was taken sici whle attending Gohrt at Laurens, and has been confined to his bed since his return. We hope to see him out in a few days. Mr. Wallace Cromer, who lay for several weeks apparently at the point of death with typhoid fever, we v,e glad to learn is beter and in d fair way to recover. Mr. and Mrs. Culbreath got back from Charleston on Wednesday. Maj. C. II. Suber and lion. J. P. Pool Saturday. All report. having had a splendid trip. Mr. Everett Waddy, taeigfor the~ popuar Stationery IMousp of Eillyson e apey, paid us' a visit on Satur.day last. He is a pleasant gentleman and fully up to his business. Mr. WV. A.

Norrow Upon Sorrow. DEAR3 BROTHER iROWNE: It is sldom- we are called to record so pain fal a dispensation of Divine Provi as that which has befallen Bro ther John and Sister Mary Chapman, me!ners at Oak Hill Church, Tumi Lling Shoals Circuit. They had been blessed with four iuteresting children -tlhree sons and a daughter about 9 moths old; the eldest son about 7 years. lu October last Wade Hamp tn was carried away by diphtheria; in about five weeks little Villie died, 'a week later the precious baby, Anna, waus taken, in a few hours after they had returned fronm burying her, Jiummie. their eldest, was taken vio lntly and was dead in three days all fr~ou the dreadful diphtheria. Thus the smitten parents were left without a child to comfort them. But God has abundantly couiforted their sor row, and they are enabled to say, -The Lord gave and the Lord ha'.h taken away, blessed be the name of the Lord." J. B. TRAYWICK. Tumbling Shoals, S. C. February 5 [Christian Neighbor. Suffering for a Life Time. Persons afflicted with rheumatism often sufi'er for a lif'e time, their tortures being al most without remission. The joints and nuscles or such unfortunates are in most cses5 shckingly contorted and drawn out of shape. To afford them even temporary re lief, the ordinary remedies often prove utterly useless. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, on the other hand, is avouched by persons who have used it, to be a genuine source of relief'. It keeps the blood cool by promoting a regular habit of body, and removes from it impuri ties which, in the opinion of aill rational pathologists, originate this agonizing comn plaint and its kindred malady. the gout Bce<ides this the bitters remedy disorders of the stomach, liver and nerves, prevent and eradicate intermittent and remittent fevers, promote uppetite and sleep, and are highly recommended by physicians as a desirable medical stimulaut and tonic. .JIarried, January 28, 1879, by Rey.
