She spread upon thit table ib. whitest of table-cloths, such at had never been beyond the paternal premises from the sprouting of the flaxseed to tin Sbleachhtg of the cloth; and she placed dowr -barteeaglittering plates, euch as had nevel passed through the silversmith's hands. Then, in'rapid succession, came the dishes o1 sAuk saVT, roast pork, and boiled ham; ducks and cbkkens;-spare-ribs and sam sgea;--back-uones and liver-puddings;--and upat the head of the table, with a murder os carving knife nar by, lay upon a broad at dish the lamented Spitsebube baked to t 2ascious brown, with his liver clasped undei his left and his gmard under his right wing Wedges of bread were scattered in proftsior p. and down the table,-to say nothing aboutauch adjuncts as boiled cabbage, net paddings, fruit pies and numberless othei . anbtantlals and delicacies that could be con :. jtred up in the Dutch Fork inan hour's time a hundred years ago. Then Mr. Koselhantz with his back towards the fre, his face al twitching with kindheartedness, and rubbing his hands together in the spirit of hospitality gleefully yells out: "Now, goot beeples, set down and hell The lieutenant took the bead and the cor poral the foot of the table, with their met ranged on either side; and I must say, tha if Sptzebabewas foally dealt by in the yard he hadample justice done him on the table for not an mch ofls osseous system remain ed- aaseraped. Notwithstanding the keen ap. petite fr food brought on by fatigue and atinence, the fourteen soldiers were fttIly atialed, before the half of the repast was consumed. Might came on, and the clott and the lates were removed. Koselhants commaed his wife and daughter to pac themselves off to bed; and then drew frort be hlnd the door a five-gallon, double-handlec j% and planted it in the middle of the table ' ltka force that shook the house. The cor poral now made known to his host that hi himself was a German; that his name was Towsead Sapperlot, from Hesse-Casel; and thathehadnot tasted a drop of anything worth mentioning for five days. Then was Aberbart Koselhants In his glory. Here was aman fresh from the Fatherland.-a genuin German like himself. Sapperlot took twc pipes from his knapsack, and, handing on( to his host, they separated from the rest c1 the comp y,-and smoked and talked Ger. man wi a vehemence totally indescribable The double-bandled jag was so vigorously beset, that when the first Koselhants cod lapped his wings and proclaimed the ap wroach of day, Tolgsend Sapperlot and art-Koselhantz were the only creatures In the room retaining any marks whereby they could be classed as members of the hn man family :-the rest of the company had subsided under the table into an undisting nlhable mass. But they, in their turn, yielded to the potent liquor, and after reelini to and fro, each in his chair, for sometime their heads came in contact with sue violence, that Sapperlot was tumbled back upon the floor. Mr. Koselhants then, witt the. perseverance characteristic of the 6er man, arose from his seat at the twelfth at. tempt, and, going to the loom which stood at the far end of the apartment, he drew ofi his coat and shoes and threw himself as ht thought into his bed,-but, alas!i he fell dowt among the loom-treadles with a crash. The wizard gunsaith had put a spell upon his guests, and upon himself which was beyond his control. Dame Koselhantz and her daughter aros< ely, and prepared for breakfast. Aberbar adragged from under the loom, and was mde sensible of the great error he had com guests. The double-handled jug was agair brought into requisition after an antiquated rule, as expressed by Aberhart, "dat de hain ofa topvas a goot cure for do bite of de sae,' and in two hours they were all seated at table with a hot breakfast before them. When they arose, refreshed by the substan tial meal, .their knapsacks were filled with the daintiest of viands. Tbc lieutenant shook hands heartily with his host, and again asked pardon for the outrage he had attempted, and thanked him cordially for his hospitality. Towsend Sapperlot's heart was too full to speak, so he shook his f *edshand In silence, and yae Betsy a ook of such tenderness, that the poor girl had to seek retirementz, and the consolation of tears, throughout the day and far into tenight. The sun was scarcely two hours high, when the foragingparty had disappear. ebehind the woods; and the Koselhants farm settled down to itsusual quietness. The -churn gave out its daily gurgling sound, V under the patient handicraft of Kratelly Koselhantz; Aberhart's rasp again shrieked In his shop; Betsy resumed her occupation t- at the milk-house, musingly skimming milk, with now and then an earnest gaze down the road; and Spitzebube- alas, poor Spitze Now, were it not for Betsy, I would here ndthis story; but abe, poor girl, desires to haeahusband. Noble Betsy! you have tion of a simple, illustrative tale; and you smA., have a husband, if there is sufficient power.left in my pen toihind one, hand and foot, and if I have strength to lay him at It as a cold night in February, a few weeks after the events just narrated. Tbe ground was covered with snow, and the sleet was beating a chilling tattoo against the house. The Koselhantz family were sitting before the fire. The little flax-spinning wheel was humming and buzzing under Betsy's PEDipulations; the knltting needles were keeping up a brisk fencing-match through the MAxipulations of Mrs. Kosel hants; and Aberhart, under compulsion to repair the disasters of misconduct, was mak ing a new pair of loom-treadles. Suddenly they all heard a sound, as of some heavy body falling against the door. This was fol lowed byv a groan. Mr. Koselhantz snatched up a torch and ran to the door. Upon open. lng it, a man, with his head bandaged and his clothes stiff with frozen blood, fell for wards upon the floor. He was dragged to the fhre-place, and soon became sc fir rester ed, that he could sit upon a chair. The bandage was unwrapped from his head. "Oh, mercy! it's Towsend Sapperlot!" screamed Betsy. "Ei! du alle Welt!i- Is Towsend Sapper. lot!" exclaimed the old woman. "Didt de teffle effer see de like ?" chimed In the old man, "vy, it is Towsend Sapper. lot!" "Yesh, It pe Towsend Sapperlot," said the wounded soldier, "it ge Towser.d Sap perlot, vol ish left of him.' The 'valiant corporal then favored his hearers with the particulars of the battle of -the Cowpens. in which, according to his own account, he had figured conspicuously. There was, however, found, upon examina tion, the hrnised print of a horse-shoe between his shoulder-blades, which rather went to show, that although he lay upon the battle-field with his "feet to the foe," htis back must have been towards the sky, in. -stead of to the ground. A body of cavalry had charged over him. He narrowly escaped ith his life. He was put into a cart and conducted from the field. He had his won-sds dressed. He wgs passing through the neighborhood. He deserted, and here he was. He hoped his old friend and coun try ~ afa would not deliver him up to the British, as lie was tired of fighting. "Deliffer you up to do Prittish!" yelled the old man. "Py Cott, 1 would shoost like to see apout dirty dousandt of dem try to dake you!" Then Towsend Sapperlot felt secure. In two weeks the corporal was as sound as a dollar; and that very spring, (need I say it.?) was married to Betsy Koselhantz. There was this little peculiarity about the marriage: instead of Betsy's taking the name of her husband, Tows.end Sapperlot, -wher by command of his father-iu-law - hodesired to perpetuate his own name, or for fear of being discovered and shot as a deserter,-assumed the name of Koselhantz; and from him are descended all the Kosel bantues, who have so well aided in sustain ta mg the reputation of the Dutch Fork for r cheerful Industry. and unsophisticated hospi tality.0 O.B.M.

One man walks to get an appe- h tite for his dinner, while another a walks even more industriously to get 'I a dinner for his appetite; one finds s it hard to decide how his food shall f ta be cooked, so as'to be most tempt- D ing, while the other discusses the tl possibility of keeping body and b soul together. while he is "scuffling around "to get something to be cook- t ed. There is no doubt that we de vote too little attention to the O science of cookery; or that indiges- S tion, caused by badly cooked food, n is a serious trouble; or that the average cook is a thing that sensi- t ble "civilized man can live with- tl out." But we cannot deny that c the question, How shall we cook? 0 follows the more important ques- a tion, What shall we cook? We h are great eaters, there can be but S one opinion on that point; but it t is unfortunately true, that we stuff b with pork and other indigestibles that should seldom find their way to the table, or even to the kitchen, at , this season of the year. Men who : are independent so far as money is s concerned, eat what they can get, t, without looking beyond the mar- b ket that first offers, and, consequent- c ly, often eat what would put an al- 1 ligator's powers of digestion to a severe test. Those who eat should a control the food markets. If we can d get better meat from the country a than our market furnishes, then, in e the name of good digestion, let the a countryman sell his produce free of a tariff; in this respect, give us free b trade. t The new interest that is develop- 14 ing in dairy farming and cattle farming in our State, should cause h a thrill of pleasure in every manp who has an appetite, and much si more in every poor fellow who has a exchanged appetite and digestion S for bad food and chronic dyspep- 8 sia. Money-getting may be the d object of'those who are the movers h of these enterprises, but they will a furnish rich milk and butter, and o good beef, and to that extent will ta benefit the eating public. n But we cannot help expressing 3 tlie regret, that ogr sheep are so a much neglected, and that some en- n, terprising spirit has not begun a sheep farming in our county. No domestic animal is less expensive than the sheep, and none furnishes ~ more wholesome and nutritious e food-besides, its fleece is valuable- b~ At this season of the year, there is a always an open market for good ( mutton, which unfortunately is scarce. It really ,seems that the j day is coming when we shall speak r of the juicy mutton chop as a e thing with which our ancestors re a was younger but wiser. We trust tv that this will not be the case, but e that some of our people will soon s ad1d sheep raising to the many other new enterprises. The Chappell's correspondent of t the News adCuersays:F "It has been rumored through this County that a great talk has e been made about petitioning the " authorities of the Columbia and s Greenville Railroad to allow Chap- ~ pells Depot to be removed from its e present site to a situation two miles farther down the road, to a place now known as Coleman's Mill. Such a removal would prove very -p detsimental to many liberal patrons ~ and citizens residing in both New berry and Laurens Counties. It isa said by a great many citizens resid- e ing here that, if such a change isd made, they will carry all their. cot ton to Greenwood and ship to Augusta by the Augusta and Knox- ol ville Railroad. The position they C take about the rumored removal is e that Coleman's Mill is a very out- re of-the-way place, and in some places ra that the- roads are impassable. A large petition has been signed by the citizens of this County and sent til in to the Greenville and Columbia ai Railroad authorities, and it is hoped Si that no such removal will be allowed. VW Ella Wood, of Union, a little girl six years, lost her life a few days ago, w) by pouring kerosene oil from a can, -w in kindling a fire in a cooking at stove.T .Last week George S. Shirer 'as tried at Orangeburg, and con icted of breach of trust with audulent intent. He was also liarged with larceny. The robbery at of which the charges grew, was mmitted some time ago, and Shir r's story was i hen about as follows : Ddr. Shirer, a clerk in Ihe office r Messrs. Bank & Smiba, rice mil rs, of this place, left the office on ie afternoon of the 19th of June ust, after counting. the cash, and cked the doors of the office. The ext morning, between 3 and 4 clock, a citizen hearing cries )r help went out from his house on .melia street and found the defend nt lying on his back tied by the eck to the back steps of the Melli amp school house and with his ands tied behind his back. Being ,scued from his uncomfortable osition, Mr. Shirer told the gen eman wio relieved him that at 2 clock that night a man came to is gate, woke him up and told him iat there was a young -man at the epot sick who wanted to see him at ace. Suspecting nothing he dress d and went out. When he had one a short way from home, two ien jumped out from behind a tree, D>llared him, tied him and dragged im through back streets to the rear f the Mellicamp school house. 'here they threw him down and ith threats of taking his life they )rced him to divulge the combina on to the safe in the office of [essrs. Ranks & Smith, and to give 1em the keys to the office door and > the drawers in the interior of the afe. One of the men having taken own the combination on a card by ic light of a dark lantern, and ien leaving Mr. Shirer in charge f his companion, went off. Mr. hirer then says he lost conscious. ess. and when he recovered he )und himself alone and made the ries for help which brought friends ) his assistance. Mr. Smith and ie watchman at the mill were then alled, and it was found that the ffice door was opei and that the afe had been opened and robbed f $394; two of the inside drawers avingbeen taken off by the thieves." uspicious circumstances pointed Shirer himself as the guilty party, nd he was convicted in spite of is ingenious story. Some time ago, Senator Butler Tote a letter in which he informed ie public that he intends to tudy the road problem. The let r contained no new suggestions, ut it was copied throughout the tate, merely because Senator But. 3r wrote it. This shows two bings. One is, that the people do ot feel able to grapple with this ifficult and important question; nd the other, that they need lead rship of the right kind, and that ny man in whom the elements re rightly mixed, and who has the rain, can command the implicit -ust of our people. Senator But ~r must look to his laurels, for the eople are waiting patiently to ear him speak his solution of the roblem, and because numerous 3ribes have rushed into print, who hay settle the question before the enator can get his grip on it. enator Butler has staked a good eal in publicly announcing that e will study this subject; and, as e do not wish to anticipate him, e- to detract one whit from his repu. tion, we will not dispose of the iatter while he is pondering it. ro, we shall wait. We shall see hat we shall see. Meantime we ierely advocate a just enforce rent of existing road laws. On Friday, the 14th instant, ine convicts who were at work on 1e Georgetown Railroad, in the mploy of Major Twiggs, made a reak for liberty. One was shot nid killed, and another shot and rowned while attempting to escape. eff. Coles, one of the escaped con iets. returned to the Penitentiary 1 an emaciated condition and sur mdered. He says that the prison rs were cruelly treated, and had 3arcely food enough to keep soul aid body together. Col. Lipscomnb uid Dr. Pope went to~the scene of ie trouble on the 12th. And Torts are making to recapture the .x still at large. The Southern Baptist Conven on, at Waco, adjourned on the 12th, >meet in Baltimore. Seven hundred elegates were present towards the uSt, and the session was an inter sting one. The Convention recoin ended the establishment of mis .ons in the State capitals of [exico. Three hundred and fifty reursionists, forty of whom were -om South Carolina, went from the onvention to Mexico. Joe Brady, one of the Phoenix ar-k murderers, was hanged in oblin on the 4th.

On the 12th a Delaware Sheriff iipped nine prisoners, seven of iom had been convicted of larceny, Ld two of receiving stolen goods. At the recent cattle show iY Greenville, Col. Aiken oppose< the lien law as a curse to the far mer; denounced the recent changE in the usury law; criticised the management of the Penitentiary and favored the leasing of convicti to work on railroads or to cracl stones to build public roads; un favorably criticised the law exempt ing manufactures from taxatiox for a period of ten years; and de nounced the public school systen of this State as a humbug. Where upon there was a vicious scratchinc of editorial pencils, a clicking o: type and rustling of papers, an( Col. Aiken was held up to the pub lic as an eccentric Congressmai who, in the language of the New and Courier, "has a great deal t< learn yet," and "will find out afte a while, that nothing he can do o say will retard the growth of gen erous sentiment or stay the progres of the State." We cannot ap prove all that Col. Aiken says, bu we honor the man who has thi courage to speak his convictions He dares to say 'what many other! silently think. And it will be re membered that he has never been i favorite of the News and Courier because he has the audacity to d< his own thinking, and has neve: yet shown any inclination to favo: upon that paper. We do think however that "courage of convic tions" should be tempered with : spirit of moderation, and that Col Aiken occasionally gives too loos( reins to his criticism of publit measures. One T. C. M. Golland, a whit( man, who claims to be a Baptis preacher, and who for some tim< past has been preaching, selling books, and peddling cheap jewelr3 in Colleton, borrowed a horse anc buggy from a neighbor for *e pur pose, as he alleged, of going t< George's Station, promising to re turn on the next day. He failed t< return at the appointed time, and ii was afterwards ascertained that hE did not go to George's, but went t< Charleston, and after selling tho horse and buggy left for parts un known. He was subsequently ar rested at St. Matthew's and is noa in jail. On the 12th he was in 4 cying condition, the belief beinr that he took strychnine while on hi way to jail. The annual meeting of the stock holders and directors of the Pied mont Manufacturing Co., was hek on the 9th, instant.

It is said that last winter a Bos ton lady engaged three of the bes rooms on the parlor floor of a hote in Jacksonville, but they did no suit her. She spent '-more thar $500 in fitting up the rooms witi rugs, curtains and bric-a-bric, shi occupied them just one week, ani left all her purchases behind her She then went to a hotel on the St Johns River, where she paid $604 a week for board for herself and three scrvants.

The custody of the eldest boy, James Fair, Jr., was awarded to the defendant. A few days ago two colored children, one aged about nine or ten, and the other about seven years, enticed from home a three-year-old f child of a colored man living about twelve miles from Thomasville, Ga., and throwing her down, deliberately - forced sand iuto her mouth until she was choked to death.

ANOTHER W Quiet peace had reign. ed so long that nobody ever had an idea of its. being interrupted; b. like everything else it haditsday. Observingan opening for a good Cash Trade by producing goods at city prices a" V appeared on the scene, determined to give a death-blow to hi h prices. He was not disappointed, 1or an ap preciative public has conceded that : he has revolutionized prices, and brought them down to their low -_ ebb. Anticipating an unusually l Spring trade he has overshof th , mark at last with all his caution, and purchased entirely too much. The great bargains thrown befoe. him while in the markets, were ha to refuse, so in order to make a.gp fi his stock, he will for the next3 days have a offering bargains to syich an extent that competition will hide its head. Talk is cheap, too much unmeaning talk is Iavished now-a-days to delude thed public. I believe in it so iar as the means of ha.ving the public to call *d inspect t*o stock.

I wish to remind you that I get the best of the mana~ facturers by the use of an argument which always cond vinces them that I am entitled to the best bargains, and largest discounts. That argument is (Cash Down, and invariably "knocks the persimmons." I wish to remind: you that I intend to make myself necessary to the good people of this section, by sharing my close bargains with them, believing in QUICK SALES and SMALL MARGINS. I wish the young men to know that I have the pret tiest stock of Ties and Scarfs in Newberry, comprising all the latest styles.
