Seals, Atlanta, Ga. A Hard Case. There is an old negro woman, appa rently half crazy, about torn who has given the Council any amount of trou ble. Putting her in the calaboose dloes her no good. Friday she offended again by fighting, and the Council proposed a new remedy, and directed a policeman to put her to ehopping down weeds on the street; but they reckoned without their host, for'the sable amazon had no idea of doing rany such thin~g. Sh6 lay down on;.- the street, and refused to budge. The eart was brought up, three .polfeemeU dumped her in, And she was -taken back to the calahoose, where a few minutes aft'er she was singing "I want to be an angel."

Judge Aldrich diseharge,d the jry Saturdv, after hav ing complimented them uponl their cheerful and faithful performance of their dlies at this busy season( of the year. His Honor has presided with dignity and ability, and with great sat isfiaction to all concerned. A credita>le amount of work has been done; many old cases that had for years encumber ed the dockets have been disposed of, and the way has been paved for a more speedy and smooth administration of justice at future terms. Calendar 1 has heretofore been the great impedi ment; it has been got aluost entirely out of the way. A number of cases on the other Calendars have been disposed of. The Court has been a great benefit to the County, and eminent credit is due to the Judge and jurors, who dis charged their duties so patiently -.nd efficiently at a great sacrilice to their Personlal convenience. Speciaf Notice. All persons indebted to the IF.mIALD Book Store by memorandum accounts, are requested to call and s3ttli at once. No goods hereafter will be dolivered until paid for. 16-tf Is it a Swindle ? A week or ten R,ays ago two neatly dressed young fellows passed through the Mollohon section of this County taking suibscriptions for sev6ral papers, among Them the .tIome and FParrm, of Kentucky, Vicl$s Flor~ a Gude, ir,esid/ Cohpanion-th ere were ot hers b u t we do hot know themnames. These p(eriodl icals they offered at a price considerably lower than that asked by the publish ers; but notwit.hstanding this suspicious fact some of the leading citize'ns of Mol lohon were galled-paid the subscrip tionl reqjuired by the pseudo-agents, and are now looking in vain for their peri odicals. The young men said they had been sent by a New York illustrated paper to Aiken to sketch the scene of the murder of old inan Holly; and they accounted for their walking through the country instead of riding by sayin~g that they were artists and were making sketches of the country.

Our section was visited with the heviest rain Sunday evening that has falen in ten years; cr*ops are very much damaged. The wheat crop is not good, but oats look fine, and the stanid of cotton is not good, so mutch died out. Corn looks well. There have been more deaths in our section this Spring than usual. General Green is spreading himself over the cotton crop. Three emigrants arrived in this sec tion this m6nth from the Infant country. There is a young lad down here that w.ent to Newberry the other day with 25 cents and brought 15 cents back. That boy aims to make a Rothschild. The goose crop is pretty good down here, and Jacob's children are rejoicing. Times are hard; money scarce, but still we .have our bread and water. ~6--4-7. Go to H. A. Burns for your Con fec tioneries, Canned Goods, Tea, Spice, Pepper, La~undry Soap, Starch, Blueing, Soda, Sugar, Coffee, Pickles, and also a good assortment of Toys. 9-1y More Old Deeds. We were shown this week two old deeds by Sheriff Wheeler. One was made by Thomas Pinckney, Governor of South Carolina, to Peter Schum part, the 6th of August, 1787, of a tract of hnd. in ')hnge'onrg'DistdA" of 367 acres, between Campain L sek (which we suppose wvas intended for Camping teck) and Bear Creek, the considera tion being 8 pounds and 11 pence. Orangeburg District .then . covered a large territory, embracing what was aftrwards donfained in severaP Dis: tricts, now Counties. This hmnd was in what is now Lexington County, . Pe ter Shumpart, we suppose, was the anc'estor of some of= the Schumperts of this County, the spelling ef'the name having been changed. The other deed i.- a grant from King George I11, of England. to Andrew Bower, (now spelled Bowers,) the 5th of May, 1773. The deed is signed by Win. Bull, Lt.-Gov., of the Province o. South Carolina, and conveys 150 acres in "Craven County," in the form of m square, bounded on all sides by vacan! lands. This tract is either in Lexing S. C. Mifitary Academy. We take pleasure in acknmyledging receipt of a copy of the Historical Sketch of the South Carolina Military .Aeade myi, bY Col. J. P". Thomais, Suplerint(!n dent of the Carolina Military Institute. This very interesting history comprises first, tihe origin of the Arsenal and the Citadel Academy; second, their rise and fall, and third, the results achieved; with an Appendij containing the Roll ( lward of Vis!itQS :udn ll of Cadets in the Academy att'be end. No more import:mnt hiistory could be placed On record than this, and it could not 4ave fallen into better hands than this able scholar who has accomplished his work in a nst satisfactory manner. Mr. C. I. Walker, Secretary. will accept our thanks for the copv received. Copies ] can be had of Messrs. Walker, Evans & Cogswtell, Charleston, papelr $1, in cloth $.)0. Go to If. A. Burns.for a good assort. Ment of Tobaccos, Cigars and Pipes. All prices. Cheap. 9-1y Lower Rates Wanted. Hundreds of people availed them selves of the reduced rates of fare on the rail roads a few weeks ago to visit liarleson. and sevral thousands of dol}ars which otherwise would not have seen the 1ight of day, changed hands and got into healthy circulation. The late cheap excursion to Columbia ena bled ten thousand people to visit the Capital and enjioy a rich treat in the great "unveiling." Many of these would have remained at home but for the orportunity afforded. The hearts of the merchants of - Columbia were made glad in the trade realized by it, and the rail road companies' receipts were grat ifyingly large. Cheap rates of travel are needed, and if the rail road compa Ilies would see it. much good would re sult. If we cannot, however, have :I permanent reduction of fare, let us have frequent excursions to regular points, with privilege to lie over at sta tions along th( roads. and hundreds who.do not travul will take advantage of it and trade will he gieatly~ revived. Low rates of travel are certainly need ed. Agricultural Liens, With and without mortgage attach ment, and Landowner's Liens. For sale at 3-t HERALD BOOK STORE. The Hoge School Pic Nic. The~ colored peop)le gave a pie-nie' at JoneWs' TIan Yardl Fridlay, on the ocean s1i1) of the :nmual celebration of the Hloge School.. A large numbler was pre'(sent, and had a very plensant day o it. Thieero.wning of the May Queen wals performed in good style, the addresses an!t responses being delivered fluently and1( tastefully. The pupils, b)oys and girls, of all sizes, then delivered speCh-I es. This part of the execises reflected great credit on the pupils and their teachers, and gave unmistakable evi dence of gratifying progress. The ex tracts spoken exhibited marked good taste in their selection. It consisted of pieces varying from grave to gay, from lively to severe, and not one contained a word that could by any possibility grate harshly on any car. The exerci ses were interspersed with songs from the pupils accompanied by the organ. The quiet, orderly behavior of the p)u pls, showed that their manners had been an object of attention, as well as their minds. The following whites wer -present bg special invitation: School Commissioner Boozer,,School Trustees A. J. Kilgore, Tarrant and Speers, and the HIERALD Editors. Mr. Boozer being called on made a short address, expressing his gratification in the evident adlvancement made by the puils; after which the gentlemen above named were directed to a table preared for them and partook of a sumptuous dinner. Th~e large supply of boxes, trunks and baskets showed that bountiful p)rovision had beeni made f- the inner man. The H-oge School, under the Princi palship of Benj. W. Nance, is doing god service. Tfhe principal is a young colored man of more than ordinary in telligence, wvell educated, of good man ners and address, and of excellent cha racter. He is devoted to his work, and as a teacber is a suecess. Associated w'ith him in the school are J. D. Bos ton, Alice--Long, wife of M. S. Long. and Amanda O'Neil. The average at tendance of pupils is two hundlred and twenty. It gives ns pleasure to be able to speak in terms of merited praise (of this school, as of any school, white or col ored. We are glad to see that the pub lic money is not being wasted, and that the colored p)eop)le are making rapid use of their advantages; and in this they will receive the hearty encourage nient of all right-thinking white peo ple. _ _ _ _ Dickens' Bleak House Took anm immense hold on the public mind, andl yielded its famous author a handsome revenue. It is our privilege to sound the prxises of a house wvhich far exceeds it, and had it been the priv ilege of that ilhistriotis Englishman 1.o have seen this house lie might never have written his "Old Curiosity SIlop." no, never. We allude to tile house of Messrs. Kingsland & IIeath, not the least of whose attractions is their accom plished man Friday, in which',the stere, not Friday, is displayed an endless va riety of rich, rare, beautiful and useful articles in China, Crockery, Glass, Tin, Wobd, Willow and Iron Ware, Pic tures, Frames, Lamps, Toys, in short, all the thousand and one things which help to make up the sunm of a housekeeper's The Monumental Festival. The ilades of Newberry, town and County. having determined to raise the remaining funds necessary to build a Monument to the -"Confederate Dead" of this County, went heartily to work, andl prepared an entertainment that surpassed anything of the kind seen in Newberry for many a day. By active canvassing the (c,-o)mjittee coillected the eatables and drinkables and Thursday and Fridav nights trave a supper in Foot's Ilall. The attendance was large; the tables were laden wiit the substan Lials of life, prepALred in the most appe Azingr style, together with every delica ,y that the most fastidious epicurean -ould desire. The waiters, or wait resses we should say, were as pretty as pinks and as polite as-as French dan .ing masters. . Some of the members of :he Cornet Band being absent in Colum >ia, the services of a string band- were rought into requisition, and the music iflorded added much to the pleasure of he entertainment. The prices asked or supper and for everything had for ;ale was so very low that money was ;)pent freely. The net proceeds of the mtertainment were $179. The ladies are entitled to praise for he elegant character of the entertain nent, and the admirable system which )ervaded the whole arrangeient, every me having ''a finger in the pie" h:1viIg 'set a heart" on making a success of it, Lnd they did. 3ersonal. Dr. Wm. C. Gilliam has gone to New York. Sergeant R. C. Sondley, of the Peni entiary Guard, was also in town last veek. Comptroller-General Hagood says hat Newberry County has the best luditor in the State. Miss Hattie Dowell, of Charleston, ms o)ened a (ancing school in Foot's Jall. and has a good number of pupils.

Mr. Eduard Scholtz leaves New berry o-day for Indra, Germany, with the ~ong of "Home again," on his lips, and he hope of an early embrace by pa rents, brothers, sisters, "uncles, aunts d cousins," in his heart, and we sin erely wvish him bon voyage, a happy meting, and a safe return to a commu ity and friends wvho esteem him for bis many rare qualities of headl and bieart. he Anniversary Celebration Of the Young Men's Christian Asso aiation in the Methodist Church on Sunday night, notwithstanding the un avorablc nature of the weather, called orth am large audience, and well was it epaid by the services, wvhich were of a leeply interesting character. The re ard shown by the community on this xecasion is strong evidence that the persevering and zealous eflorts of the young men who compose this Associa ion have not been in vain, and we for >ne acknowledge that they have done well and are entitled to the sympathy af all. Following out the programme prepared, the exercises were opened by singing the beautifully appropriate bymn "Coronation," and an earnest in ocation in prayer by the Rev. J. B. Campbell. The report of the retiring President, Mr. R. Y. Leavell, shows hat the Association was organized in A pril, 1876, and has an active member ship of 22, with 9 associate members. We are surprisedl that the number is not greater, but it is all the more credit to the few zealous members who labor so patiently and determinedly to keep up its efficiency. The amount sised during thge year is as.follows: Donations $15.25, Dues $28.50, Dime Readings $27.80. Contribution Box 5.35, for Yellow Fever Sufferers $63. GO, making a total of $135.50. The value of Hall Furniture is $70, and the Association has in its Library from GO to 70 volumes with 88 pamphlets. It hs also a fine reading room which is liberally supplied with good newspapers and magazines, and the report shows, since its opening in December last, that it has had 681 visitors. There have b)een 55 devotional meetings. Business meetings are held every 2nd Friday night in the month. We wvould like to give more of this admirable re port, but want of space forbids it. The address of Dr. Jas. McIntosh, the new President; was full of earnest eloquence, land showed that he had giv e the subj'ect, "What we propose to dc the coming year," much thought--par ticulrrly good was his advice to the young men in as well as those out ol the Association. The Anniversary Address by Rev. W. M. Grier, D).D., was profound and scholarly, and fully up to what was ex pectedl of this eloquent divine, and was in refutation of some of the common famllacies and misconceptions entertained of he, Christian character. The Doctor heartily co-operates with and takes an earnest interest in the work of these Associations. We conclude our brief notice by say. i- htti niesr etn a The Latest and Best Invenion of the present age is the new Press for expressing the juice from 1Blackberries, Grapes or Apples which can be done in the quickest, cleanest and most gratifying manner. It is worth double the price asked for it and is far ahead of any other article for si i Ilar purposes ever before brought tothe attention of the public. With one of the;e neat and convenient articles a ghass of fresh cider ean he obtained quicker than you can make a lemonade or draw a Cu) of tea. and by a simple cange or removal of the strainer it will stuff'sausages in the most approved style, by it also can be expressed the very last drop of lard from cracklings. Decidedly it is the most useful. and convenient little contrivance for the uses named we have ever-seen, and we adlvse our lady readers especially to go and examine it at the store of Messrs. Coppock & Johnson. There are two sizes-one gallon and two gallons at 84 and $6. Thanks. Are due and are hereby tendered our very good friend Mr. Jas. 0. Meredith, for a liberal supply of early vegetables, such as potatoes, peas and onions. His garden is always good and he is never happier than when dispensing its prc ducts to his friends. For the first mess of snap beans we' are under <ligations to Hart Caldwell, our indefatigable, irrepressible and i tiring press-grinder. It was his first picking and in the generosity of his heart-he is all Hart by the way, and not a hard-hearted cabbage either-he laid his offering on our table. We ap preciate this token of regard and espe cially that the gift was beans-we have a tenderness for beans. While musing in mild njelancholy Monday on the instability of human af fairs, and especially on the hard fate of newspaper men who have to deny them selves and their innocent families a des sert after their bacon and mustard greens, who should walk in*o our sanc tum but our happy friend John Taylor, with a huge lot of large, luscious straw berries. Well, we never, no never, that is hardly ever, felt jollier. We acknowledge reception of invita tion to the anniiersary celebration of the Calhoun and Preston Literary So cieties of WVofford College, the 10th of June. Gov. A. H. Colquitt, of Georgia, will dleliver the anniversary address at 10 A. M., and at 8 1-2 P. M. tihe two Societies, in their separat~e halls, will hold their annual deb)ates. The first named Society will dlehate the question, Whether the stump has promoted true oratory--debaters, T. B. Rogers, T. B. Stackhouse, in the affirmative, and W. T. Lander and H. W. Pemberton, in the negative. Chas. A. Woods, Esq., of Marion, will preside. The subject for the Preston Society is, Whether Macbeth was more guilty than Lady Macbeth-to be debated, in the aflirma tive by A. B. Calvert and WV. D. Hutto, and in the negative by T. B. Thacks ton and H. C. Folk. A. C. Wightman is Valedictorian for the Calhoun, and J. L. Glenn for the Preston. Seasonable Spring Goods. Base Balls, Bats, Tops and Cords, Rubber Balls, Croquet Sets, Marbles, Fish Hooks and Lines, all sizes, Play ing Cards, &c. H1. A. BunNs. items Unveiled. The ticket agent at Newberry station sold 116 tickets. The G. & C. R. R. carried six hundred and fifty passengers to the "unveiling;" every portion of the State was better represented than that along this road. The party of gay and festive youths that went down from Newberry, we venture to say, had as lively a time as any other party; but we don't tell tales out of school. What they didn't see wasn't worth seeing. It was a hand some and well assorted party withal, and made an agreeable impression. The HERnALD sent four representa tives to swell the crowd, and each one had a splendid time and says it was the biggest thing of the nineteenth century, and even bigger than a Newberry Sale day. T'he citizcns of Columbia are enti tled to a high nmeed of praise. Private residences reminded us of omnibuses, which, no matter how crowded, al ways have room enough for one more. Truth is stranger tban fiction, there fore we are forced to remark that not withstanding the immense and diversI fled crowd at the "nnveiling", only one case of genuine drunk was observed by us. If there were other cases they wvere not "unveile d." Judge Mackey was on hand and as interesting as usual. Tuesday, in the corridor of the Wheeler House he "struck up" an acquaintance wvith a gentleman from Anderson. In the course of the conversation, the gentle man mentionedl the fact that lie was-a private in the war. The Judge ex pressed the greatest pleasure at having met him,shook his hand most cordially, and said: "Sir, I am truly delighted to see you; I have been looking for a pri vate in all this crowd for two days and failed to find one; I feared they were all (lead." Just then the dinner hell sounded, and the Judge escorted the surviving private into tile (lining room and secured him the best seat at the first table, while many Generals, Colo nels, Majors and Captains had to wait for the second. The only other pri vate the Judge stueceeded in finding was one named J. B. Campbell, of Ja lapa. Various and all About. Weather good. Ground in fine order. Garden and field crops doing well.

When the new crop comes in there will be a decline, and farmers will once more howl. Don't be fooled into a neglect of corn, oh! farmers of Newberry, plant largely of it and cultivate carefully. A full corn crib maketh glad the heart. Yea, verily. The latest "I want to be a coachman, And with the coachman stand, And win the bosses daughter, And drive my four in hand."

Burns will say how much it took to make them happy. The new church at New Chapel is rapidly drawving to completion, we learn from Mr. Crowell Chapman, one of the contractors. There is no better community of people in the county than those of that section, and they well deserve a good church edifice. "I suppose the bells are sounding an alarm of fire," sneeringly said an old man as tihe church bells weore calling the worshippers one Sunday morning;. to which a clergyman who was passing replied: "Tes, my friend; but the fire is not in this world." "My life by yours enfolded is," HIe whispered in her ear; "I only breathe when you're about, Live only with you, dear." Says she, with archness on her brow, "I've faith in what you say;" .Then glancing at his raven locksL "Yout dye when I'm away." . -Boston Transcript. The merchants of Richmond, Va., realizing that country trade was being diverted from their city, organized an excursion for traders in the country round about to vsit that city free of eX pense and enjoy a holiday. Large numbers of the rural merchants accept ed the round trip tickets, and the re suIt was the placing of a. considerable amount of trade in the project'ors' hands, which they belie've they can keep. An example worthy of imitation. Commercial. .NEwBERRY, S. C., May S0, 1879.
