Yemean d HEALD INCENDIARY FIRE. Cinhouse Burned-A Large Quantity of Wheat and Oats Consumed-The Incendiary in Jail. Mrs. Elizabeth L. Spearman. an ex cellent widow lady living near Silver Street, in this County, met with the misfortune last Thursday night, 27th nltimo, of having her ginbouse burned down. The fire started in a two-story cow-honse and barn adjoining the gin house. between sundown and dark, and spread so rapidly that nothing could be done to check the flames. Both build ings were burned down in a very short time, making a tremendous blaze that threatened every house on the pl:ce. Only the dampness of the other build ings prevented a general conflagration. The stables caught on top several times and blazed up, but were saved by hard work. In the ginhouse were two hun dred bushels of wheat and four hundred bushels of oats. and all the straw from the wheat and oats. Nothing was saved. The total loss is about $2,000; no .in surance. Friday morning Mr. Jno. A. Werts and others of the neighborhood started out to search for the incendiary. They found a track at the point where the fire began; it was very large, and was made by an old shoe out of which the toes protruded. The track was follo* ed about a mile until it came to the house of Charles Williams, alias Spear man, on Mr. Jacob Crouch's plantation. Williams' foot corresponded in every f particular with the track. He was ur rested on the charge of arson, wqs car v ried before Trial Justice Warren G. Pe 3 terson, and was by him committed to jail to await the action of the Gritnd t Jury. He is a large black ndgro about thirty-five years old, is a worthless s scamp, working nowbere- and stealing s promiscuously. In looking about for a I probable cause for his act-if he be guil ty-we learn that some time ago Mrs. I Spearman caught Williams stealing her peaches, and spoke to him about it. Afterwards she caught him again, and to frighten him fired off a gun, He seems to have acted from_ a spirit of re. f venge. The negro is rather weak minded. "Pen Pictures," . By Mr. Bacon, of the Edgefiled Ad f vertiser. The E.igefield Advertiser of last week t contains the following glowing sketebes of some of the preachers at the Emory Church Conference: JOHN KELLY-And there was 'John Kelly,' ponderous, expansive, emotion al, humorous, eruptive, known and loved of all Southern Methodists from the Atlantic to the Pacific slope. And not only known and loved, but petted. We had not seen him for many years, I and, like everybody else, we hailed him with a sort of indefinable enthusi asm. He preached the morning ser . mon on Friday-the unfathomiable - height and depth and length and I breadth of the great Atonement. And r as he stretched forth his mighty arms 7 east and west, and thundered out in I burning words the illimitable power of the blood of Christ, the man actually seemed to us as typical of his great subject. But John Kelly is principally mighty in eruption. Ever and anon he will jump up suddenly and 'erupt' like a gigantic volcano and then subside. And in his eruptions there is invariably something of force, meaning and orig inality. At present'he is on the Cokes bury Circuit, with his home at Green wood. STpE REY. it I). SMiWT.-Shall we rspeak of this reyerend gentleman as 'the flower of the Methodist clergy of SSouth Carolina? We are very much inclined to do so. He is young, grace ful, polished, and of a type of manly and intellectual beauty that almost equals the ancient Greek ideal. Purity of diction, a chastened and rich imagi nation, the selectest vocabularly, the most delicaite taste, the most refined sensibility, a firm grasp of theology in its manifold details, an ear and voice attuned to the softest harmonies, a com mand over every form of metre, a smoothness and sweetness of style -eqnaled by few-these, as they appear to us, are the marked and manifold excellencies cf this young and gifted man. And withal he is earnest and humble, and zealous, and courteous. -He is stationed at present in Newberry. OLD UNCLE MARK BoY.-And there too was old uncle Mark Boyd, whom Edgefield and Newherry par ticularly revere. .And at eig,hty years of age he is still happy and hopeful, because throughout his long and useful life he has been obedient to the law. Sniffles' Foot SI have a foot, a peculiar, a remark able foot, a foot with the nerves all on the under surface, it is the right foot, hut a very wrong foot; and like most .other persons who have been able through the vicissitudes of war and other fortuitous circumstances to keep all of their members, intact, have a left -foot, a foot which can be left alone and r is always right. It is of the right I S now speak, a foot of all feet, and sub ject to feats. I wear low quarter shoes, and of mornings experience no difficul tv in getting on the left shoe, but with thie right comes trouble, it goes on my game foot. My toes, five of them, are inserted easy enough, but the under part of the sole is so sensitive to touch. :that it requires care to get it In without -touching, and it takes many minutes to accomplish it. Should it touch I quiver i and squirm, and have to wait until I e get quiet and then start again. It's an awful foot, perfectly uncontrollable, set -on a hair trigger and will go off~ on a half cock. I wish it was like the left. For information, I ask can anything be idone to reduce this foot to stibordina ~tion.. Then and Now. yA big fruit crop like the present would ten years ago have been converted prin cipally into apple and peach brandy. We all remember the numerous still houses that were scattered throughout the country ten years ago, to which ir peaches and apples were hauled by the ~wagon-loads from miles around; and we remember what a curse these places were to every neighborhood in which ,they were located. The writer of this distinctly remembers one where three men, who up to that time had been use ful and respeced citizens, drank themn e selves to death This ',ear the fruit is s being pre-served in a anrwless way, and 5in a aay that .contributes to pleasure r and economv: it is being canned and - .dried. This we consider an evidence a of the improvement in the morals o1 the people. A still-house would not be tolerated, much less patroaized, in mny sections of the State to-day. If you are troul,led with a smarting erup tion3 on the surfaie of th:.- body, you car: rest assured that you have a clear defir.ed eeof Eczema, and if let alone will giv< you great trouble., A few bottles of S.

Standard Cure Co.. ]14 Nassau Street, Ne w York. Jun. 1, 2s-sm. A Matinee Performance Came off at the Opera House Monday morning, in which Hampton Delaney, a juvenile darkey, played the leading part. Hampton went into Capt. Gary's yard Sunday and stole a chicken, and the police took him in. Monday he w as tried before the Mayor, and was sen tenced to 53 or ten days in the Guard House. Hampton not having the re quisite cash, and being averse to soli tude, volunteered to take a good whal ing from his grandmother instead; to which proposition the Mayor readily agreed. Two policemen held Hamp ton, while his maternal ancestor plied the strap, which she did with so much earnest vigor that upon the third stroke he yelled out, "For God's sake, put me in the Guard House." But he was held to his bargain; and while the old lady plied the strap he made the welkin ring. When she got through with him he was undoubtedly the best whipped boy in New berry. At the Rink. Friday night we visited the Skating Rink of Prof. Smith, and it was with diiculty that we threaded our way through the merry mazes of ) oung mien andi maidens rapidly hind in most in. stances gracefully gliding over the floor. It was a pretty sight, as seated among the -'wvall tiowers," we watched the happy throng. The constant, un ceasing roar reminded us of the break rs on a lee shoie until the sudden slap slap of some unlucky fellow whose feet would for a moment get away from him and as quickly come down again, w~ould bring us back to the ieality that the sound was made by the "skeeters,'as.a good friend calls them, and not by the waves.- It is ai wholesome exercise and calculated to induce perspiration, and -as long' as the "skeeters" keep on their Various and all About Barbecue at Jalapa the 18th. Good and seasonable weather. Work in gardens is now in order. Oats ought to sell for fifty cents a bushel. Town taxes must be paid by the 5th instant. Our fashion reporter says high-heeled shoes are out of style. Only one candidate has had the tern erity to show his hand. Cotton has grown nearly six inches since the rains a week ago. It is not a good time now to buy t thermometers: they are so high. * The candidates will have to put in their work in double-quick time. t One month more of business dullness and we hope to sre things revive.

Money is exceedingly scarce in and tround the HERALD office, and our eyes . row as large as saucers at the sight of silver dollar. We do hope that all debts will be paid this fall. The prospect for a large nd good crop, certainly gives reason fr such a hope. We thank Mr. Geo. T. Speake for 1 beautiful samples of dried apples and blackberries, dried by the patent dryers for whbich he is agent. Mr. J.

Watermelons are abundant, but the elicious cantaloupe is scarcely seen. [f there are any of the latter we would ike them to be brought to this office. ( There was a large crowd at Mt. Zion Saturday and Sunday. A gentleman t who talked with a large number of armers about crops says he did not hear I single complaint. A dealer in meat sent us a leg ofi mutton last week, on hearing thatt hicken feathers were sprouting from nur back. It was a kind deed. No doubt he feared that we might fly away. A gentleman who was a candidatet two years ago thinks that the candi dates this time oughbt to have a good time. Their prede.cessors put all the burches in the Ccunty in good repair. It is best not to hide one's light under a bushel, therefore we advertise the fact that the HERALD office is prepared to do all kinds of Job Printing neatly and expeditiously, and at low rates. Another fact that should be held up to public gaze is that the Newberry HERALD is second to no County paper in the State, and is therefore entitled to consideration. Subscribe for it, and you will have a good paper. Mr. Carter Wilson has our thanks for a bag of large sweet potatoes of the1 yam variety. We dote on these escu lents, and the many other bags which we expect to receive will be faithfully: recorded. There will be one or more millions in the cotton crop of this year, and far mers will not have to spend all of the money realized from that crop in buy ing corn. The prospect for a good crop is just beautiful. Our hotels are putting on city airs, and adopting all the latest improve ments. The latest is electric bells in all the rooms: they arc already in ope ration at the New berry, and will be in a few days at the Crotwell. Mr. HI. L.

The excursionists had a pleasant trip and greatly enjoyed the n'e scenery of North Georgia. The difference between majority elee ion and plurality election is, that by .he former a candidate must receive a C najority of all the votes cast before he t an be elected; by the latter the candi- c late receiving the' highest number of j rotes is elected, whether it be a majori :y or not.
