BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD. GREFNVILLE, S. C., April 5, ISS1. To EDrroRs HIRALt: Spartanburg & Ashe ville Rail Road sold at Spartanburg yester day for $111,00o; bought by the bond holders. A. B. W. [We understand that the bondholders are the Cl%de Company.-En. HERALD.] This road extends from :partanburg to Asheville, 75 miles. It has been completea rroa Sparta!,burg to Hendersonville, 47 miles, and a great portion of the route be tween Hendersoiville and Asheville has been gradtd. This roal is intended to connect with the "Great West" by way of Woll's Creek and Morristown, and only a short liuk, comp.tratively, remains to be Dompleted.

Jones has shown an nterprise in the building of an ice ouse which entitles him to great cred it, and' which we are sure will be ap preciated by the public, and result in the end to his profit, it is hoped. The uilding of the ice house or receptacle for ice has been attended with consid Brable outiay, and more, perhaps, than be can possible get back in dollars and ents in one season, but he will have the satisfaction of knowing that lie has lled a long felt want, and done that which no one else has heretofore had the -ourage to do. Of a capacity to hold 30, )00 lbs, our community need be under no apprehension hereafter but that an .rticle so essential can always be had, ind that, too, at a price far below what bas been paid for it in the past. All praise to an enterprise which will do so uch for Newberry. I'm So Glad This is what the charming Mrs. Smith said to the no less charming Mrs. Jones, who just dropped in the Dther morning. "I'm so glad now that ;pring is once more on hand. What do you think! I am going down on a visit to my dear mother in Columbia to pend a few weeks. Now, don't you envy me." "Yes, indeed, I do, for you will have the opportunity of going through the' stock of Messrs. Kingsland & Heath, a privilege which I would give a month's pin money to enjoy." In the conversation which followed, the various articles in china and crockery which Mrs. S. would likely purchase were discussed with an animation only known to the ladies. 12-tf Sallie Spriggins, one of our rural sis ters, had her picture taken the other day, and the likeness was wonderful to behold, but no remedy like Portaline, or Tabler's Vegetable Liver Powder has ever been prepared.

The sheriff of Orangeburg came up last week to get the negro who was ar rested in this county the 28th inst., on the supposition that he was the person who committed an outrage in that coun ty. After seeing him the. sheriff was very doubtful as to his being the proper party, and therefore declined to take him, requesting, however. that he be held over till further"evidence could be obtained as to his identity. He sent up Saturday the following description of the negro who committed the outrage: almost a mulatto; heavy build, wveigh ing not less than 150 pounds; knock kneed; bad teeth; thick lips. The ne gro in jail is almost black ; is of light build, weighing not more than 125 or 130; is not knock-kneed, on the contrary is bow-legged; has a perfect set of teeth; and for a negro has thin lips. The only evidence against this negro is his own confession, which, consider ing his utter imbecility, is not worth a copper. Besides this, if reports be true, there is another reason that would ren der the confession worthless even tho the negro were of sound mind; it is said that the confession was forced from the negro hy threats and demonstra tions of the pistol and the rope. If this be true it was a grave offense and an outrage of law and order. Suppose the negro had been lynched upon a confes sion thus obtained, as he would very probably have been had he been taken to Orangeburg. It seems to be quite evidlent now that this is the wrong negro. The negiro was examined yesterday by Drs. Folk and Gilder, and pronoun ced a lunatic. The Sheriff sends him down to the Asylum to-day, Almost a Fire. Mr. T. R. W'right while walking along the street Friday about 12 o'clock saw smoke issuing through the cracks of the large wooden building on Boyce Street, next below the Treasurer's office. On the door being opened a carriage cover in the upper corner of the front of the building was found to be in a blaze, and one of the studs of the building had also caught from it and was blazing. The fire was extinguished without diffi culty; but if the discovery had been only a few minutes later it would have been impossible to save the building. The wind was blowing furiously, and had this building gone there is no tell ing where the fire would have stopped; it would certainly have resulted ina terrible conflagration. The building is used by Messrs. Coppock and Martin as a warehouse for the storage of buggies, and by Mr. Jno. A. Kinard for the sto rage of cotton. The origin of the fire -is not known. The front door had not been opened during the day previous tc the discovery of the fire; the hack dooi had b'een opened for a portion of the morning by Mr. Kinard, who was haul ing cotton 'out of the warehouse to tbt depot. It is possible that somie one ma' have slipped in through the back door and started the fire, but not at all pro bable. The most probable theory i that the fire originated from a sparli from the stovepipe of the Treasurer's Office adjoining; but a carefal exami. nation revealed no defect in the flue It is very strange altogether. WADLEY, EMANUEL CO., GA.. Oct. 10, 1879. Gentlemen: While attending the Gen eral Assembly this summer, I tried you Star Curine on my leg, it being affecte< with an old sore caused by a wound re ceived during the late war. After havs ing thoroughly tested it I am compelle to say that it is a success, for I have ha< experience with different physicians an< remedies, and found nothing to cure me until I used your Star Curine, which ha cured a remarkable bad ease. Wishing you success, I am yours, respectfully, JON BELL. 1For.aL. e Dr. W. E. PErUAX. 50-11 Sniffles' Cow. Sniffles has a garden, most familv men who have a habitation and a name have one, and it is a pretty fair garden, at least so he thinks, and has been care fully worked up. He keeps a cow. which keeps his children in milk, and his constant care is to keep her in shucks, and also to keep her in her pen. Garden and pen are close together there is harley in one hNt not in the other, except when a basket full is taken from the latter. His cow being an ani mal of high intelligence has made note of this and has often shown a w iling ness to get in and crop the succulent grain and thereby save the trouble of cutting, but Sniffles objected to this, and kept his eye on cow and gate. In an unguarded moment the gate was left open and the next the cow was in. She cropped here, and cropped there; over yonder the barley looked higher and must be sweeter, and she went over there; up in a corner she spied a hot bed, and the plants in that looked differ ent-they were cabbage plants and very fine. It did not take long to get there. The box or bed is six feet long and twenty inches broad, and she scooped it up lengthwise, and having no cards she left five footprints in token that she had called and there was io one in. The next visit was to a bed of tender rad ishes, to them she tendered the tender est regard, and then through a row of onions. This vegetable was not to her taste, and she put her foot down on them burying them deep into the soft mould. There was nothing else above i ground to damage, but suspecting seed to be in the ground in other places this intelligent cow took steps to prevent them from ever coming to the light and succeded. To Sniffles' credit, be it said, he did not utter a single cuss word. Blind Tom. What is he? An enigma, a mystery. A I somezhing that no man can understand, a phenomenon no living man can explore. His performances are astounding ; they are more-marvellous. What secret power, what comprehension can there be in that scattered and ill-balanced mind that can grasp, ai e, master, a sonata of Beethoven, the immortal, of Chopin, a rhapsody of Liezt? Yet he does it. That unseemly skull of Blind Tom's envelopes a brain that is the strangest compound of weakness and strength, obtuseness and perception, im becility and genius that ever mortal man beheld. Blind, uncouth, uuuatural, in coherent in thought and speech, he yet performs great things that many a bright and penetrating mind would aspire to in vain. No more striking or improb able contrast could well be imagined than the grimacing, swaying, gesticulating Tom that stands waiting before an audience, and the masterful and inspired Tom seated at a piano reveling in the graudeurs of rhap sody or sonata. The subtle power, the erratic geans that holds sway over him is incomprehensible. Let him that can un ravel this my stery, this creature of impulse, this mental phenomenon, do so. It cannot be done. Blind Tom appeared before a splendid audience .last evening, at the Opera House, and filled a programme that that ranged from Tom's own incoherent talk to the profoundest creations of Chop in, Beethoven, Liszt, and other composers. The audience laughed at his simplicities, and listened with bated breath to his meclo dies. None would have missed ir, none would miss it again.
