The closed barrooms alone indicated that some- I thing unusual was going on. No active < interest was shown, and a very light l vote was polled. The old Conneil was t re-elected without opposition; the vote f standing as follows: Y. J.Pope. Mayor, s 233; L. M. Speers, First Alderman, 201; W. H. Hunt, Second Alderman, r 222; E. C. Jones. Third Al'rman. 225; k A. M. Bowers, Fourth Alderman, 229. t Total vote cast, 262; a few scattering I votes. We regard the present Council as c one of the best Newberry ever had; f and it deserves the confidence of our A citizens. That Wild Woman. Last week it was reported that a wild negro woman, entirely naked and brandishing a large bowie knife, had been seen near Gum Spring between Newberry and Jalapa. The negroes were gratly excited, and some of them are excited yet; but there is more danger in the report than in the woman. At or place it is reported that she has cut a.negro man "all to pieces;" at another, that she is in jail. 'The negro who was cut to pieces isn't hurt, and a deputation of Jalapa citi zens fail to find the myth in jail. As 1 far as we are able to learn, she ap peared to a twelve year old negro boy - who is deaf and dumb. Of course he heard all she said, but he doesn't like b to talk about it, on the principle, we suppose, that a mute should keep a still tongue. Nobody else has seen the wild woman, and we are compelled 1 to ask the Obscrrer to "get at the bot tom facts." Friday's Storm. .Last Friday night a furious wind, 'I hail and thunder storm passed over n Newberry. It struck the town at 3 eleven o'clock, p. in., and lasted about si five or ten minutes. The two story e: brick building adjoining Mr. Cline's d *ork shop, two chimneys on the opera g house, a large oak tree in front of Mr. Coppock's residence, and a number of t< fences about town, were blown down. tl At the old McCracken place in No. 4, s the wind storm was terrific. Mr. Win. c Wicket's corn crib was leveled with B the ground, and the roof of Mr. Calvin Baker'sgin house was blown off. We learn that the storm was felt, and damage done in various parts of the bi County. In places the hail was very severe, but ii did no injury. In town, on the Brooklyn side, houses quivered G and quaked before the wind, as if about to be hurled from their founda- e tions, and for a few minutes the quak- pl ing inmates were in a very trying sus- it pence. - .. rc An Ex-Editor as a Preacher. tc Rev. Allen A. Gilbert, of the North- el Newberry Circuit, delivered a very able and impressive sermon in the Methodist Church of this place, on Thursday night of last week. He preached from James Iv -Chapter, m middle clause of 14th verse : "What is m your life?" His text, covering a broad w and important scope of thought, was c ably and elaborately treated, with be coming style and deep religious fevor. tc The discourse was listened to with . marked attention, by a large congrega- tc tion. Though of middle age Mr. Gil- b bert is comparatively a young preach- ci er, this being his fourth year in the m work. We remember him when he i was quite a young printer in this Of- b fice, (our foreman,) and later as the d editor and proprietor of the Sumter s Watchman, which journal he founded a1 and conducted for a period of twenty- e six years. Hence, to us this able ser-a mon possessed an additional intereste and gave perculiar pleasure.-Laurens ril eraldl. Sniffles at the Rink. I do not often go to popular gather igs, particularly when made up of o young people, and I have avoided thea skating, firstly for the reason that myI dignity might be jostled by the skaters, ~ and r:econdly and lastly because the price of admission, ten cents, was too G high for may pocket. The latter has ec been the most serious objection. Ten oi cents a week would amount to $5,20 at year, a considerable sum, and enough ~ to furnish Mrs. Snittles with spring bon net, shoes and the gayest of ruffles, soe that she might ruffle it over the best of at her sisters. What a sum! five dollars ! re a fortune ! and twenty cents which ai might be distributed among the various Y charitable enterprises of the world. q Much better this than to be cast mnto a ihe treasury of the managers of the cc Newberry Skating Rink, who may be ai the top skimming of the city, for aught C I know, but w toj will develop into al more houorable citizens'if the tempta- i n tion of large sums of money be kept a out of their way. They should be ed- , ueated up to a high mor-al standpoint, b by removing even the ap)pearance of evil from their sight ; let them skate, A and skate, till they get their fill, which from all appearances will not soon be the case, so long as the girls lend them the influence of their sanny counten- ii ances and the magic of their fairy feet. is Let them skate.

In adult malesI ave known them to cure the worst cases of yspepsia, rheumatism, kidney diseases, dy mtry and diarrhcea; even dropsy, paralysis, ad apoplexy have yielded to a persistent urse of BRANDRETH's PILLs.
