WILKINSON & CO., 195 and 197 Fulton Street, New York. May 10 2 m Hot Supper. The Newberry Rifles are indebted to the ladies who had charge of the Hot Supper Tuesday night. The night was unfavorable, but the entertain ment was very pleasant, and reason ably successful. The receipts were about $60. Witchcraft, or Lusus Naturae ? A few days ago a curious freak of nature came to light on Mr. Bob. Welch's place. It is a chicken with four wings, four feet and four legs. The negroes to whom it belonged, be ing in mortal dread of witchcraft, promptly killed the chick, and then des patched the hen that hatched it, feeling sure that the devil had been playing pranks with them. The curiosity is preserved in alcohol at Dr. Fant's. A Sociable Social. A merry party gathered at the Fe male Academy last Friday evening for the annual Social. This social enter tainment is always pleasant because the young ladies are delightfully socia ble-so much so that we are tempted to call it a sociable entertainment. For, without an agreeable sociability among the young ladies, the social features of the entertainment would be marred; and in order to be really pleasant, such an entertainment must have both social and~ sociable qualities. A Trial Justice Without Peer. Newberry County has a trial justice who advertises that he will for the term of one year attend to all busi ness intrusted to him, free of charge in the shape of fees or otherwise. H has been a squire and justice for some twenty years, during which time there was one appeal from his court, which he promptly "refused to grant." He has never had the highest regard for lawyers or book law, but following the lead of his own common sense, he has settled many difficulties, and has been a kind of oracle for his neighborhood. He now proposes to do free "trial jus ticing" that the people of his town .ship may not fall into the hands of in experienced or oppressive officers. Jalapa Findings. Dr. Folk's family returned Saturday. There are guests at the mineral spring already. King cotton has died out considera bly In places. The spring crop of oats needing rain badly. One of Jalapa's enterprising farmers has hoed over his cotton crop once. Mr. W. C. Sligh has eight acres of the finest corn to be seen anywhere. The pic-nic gathering was large at Tranquil. The Win. Goat is still alive-the ed itor shall know when he is offered up. No further *developmntts in regard to the wild woman. The Rev. Mr. Elkin will preach at Jalapa in the school house Sunday af ternoon next. It only required the presence of the Senior Editor of thkeBERALD to have made Tranquil pic-niT a greate.r joy than it was. Why were you not there? The Rev. A. A. Gilbert preached a very impressive sermon Sunday at Tranquil. The Sunday School is in a flourishing condition, Mr. Riley is the Superintendent. In the Baptist Sunday school last Sunday a committee appointed the Sunday before offered the following paper'whir:h wae adopted: A Memorial. Charles D. Wright, who died at his home in this place May 9th, 1883, in the twentieth year of his age, was from his childhood a member of the New berry Baptist Sunday school, and the surviving members of the school would hereby place on record some express ion of their appreciation of his worth and their sense of loss in his death. Quiet and retiring in his manners but firm and conscientious ini the main tenance of what he believed to be right, our young friend and comrade was highly esteemed by those who knew him. Free from thc vices and frivoli ties of youth and patient amidlst great P suffering, he has left us the heritag~e of a stainlress name and an mnspirmng example whose excellences, we trust, God may help us to emulate. We sincerely hope the loss of one so young, so pious, so promising, may serve to arouse us all to a more diligent dis charge of our duty and to the cultiva tion of every Christian graice. To the ber-eaved family we offer our heartfelt sympathy and the assurance of our earnest prayers for the presence of the Divine Comforter in their sad dened home. "'We see but dimly. through the mists and mdthese earthly damps. What seem to us but sad, runcral tapers, May be heaven's distant lamps." JOlHN S. CARWILE, RICH'D H. WEARN, JAMES HI. McINTOSH, Pie-nics and Lawn Purty. This is a season of pie-nies, and n where can they be better gotte: up than in old Newberry. Friday ws the day set apart by the Mt. Pilgriz Sunday school for its annual celebra tion. This school is fostered by father. mothers and several younger person who are not yet so happy in bein; paterfamilias, but who hope to be. I is a prosperous school, and is situatei near Prosperity, and the pic-nic cam off at old Uncle Adam Hartman's beau tiful place. The editor, being invited harnessed his mustang, the best hors in the county, and after a tortuous bewildering drive found the place, th Sunday school brigade and its friends We found it a long drive, an all on of the way place, a secluded spot ii the wilderness and just inside of civil ization. We were glad to get ther and shake so many of our friends b, the hand, and they were glad to see us a mutual admiration society could no have been happier. Admirable an( appropriate addresses were made bi Messrs. Thos. Moorman and G. G. Sal and some good singing, topped off bi a splendid dinner, composed of deli cious chicken fry, roast lamb, roast pig baked poultry, cakes, pies and swee things without number, the wholl presided over by lovely and intelligen ladies. We were assigned to the at tention of Mrs. Geo. DcWalt and Mrs W. Birge, and never was man bette: waited on in the course of our life which runs back ever so many years Take it altogether the pic-nic was grand success, and was highly enjoyec by us and every one else. THE LAWN PARTY Was something new under the sm for Liberty Hall, and like all othe: novelties it excited much interest Visftors came from at least threi counties, ranging from the year oh babe "mit his leedle pink toes" to tll grand- pa who had never seen a Lawi Party, tho his hair is silvered with age One man refused to go-he had con scientious scruples on the subject would have gone if it hadn't been call ed a "Party." The Lawn, which was not a lawn was enclosed with a circular row o posts connected with ropes. In th< center of this area stood a pole, fron which, at various points, ropes wen stretched to the limits of the enclos ure. Along these ropes and aroun< the circle hung many Chinese lanterns forming a pyramid of lights. The ef. feet was striking and the sight indes cribably beautiful. The lanterns with pine torches and the glint o! moonlight threw their radiance ovei a very picturesque- scene. The Liberty Hall people, as well a; their visitors, proved to be of an in vestigating turn of mind. They trie< every thing. Beginning with beef. mut ton, pork, turkey, chicken and tih best of hash, they passed to ice cream strawberries and other delicacies, en ding with a grand cake walk, in whici Mr. Jno. McCarley was victor. The cake table excited a great dea of admiration-the cakes were the inosi beautiful we ever saw. Many curiou conceits and quaint designs were fash. ioned into snowy cake. One was sol< at auction for $5; the one walked fo: brought $9. The post office was fre quented by the young people, wh< were anxious to get letters from jus anybody-at the small cost of ten cent: each. There was a lemonade well pre sided over by a venerable Jacob, win liked to sample his own wares. The party broke upi about 2 o'clock ; som' tired, and others sleepy, but nobod: disappointed. Receipts about $90. CHILDREN'S DAY AT TRANQUIL. The unanimity with which the day was observed at Tranquil shows eith er that the members of that connunni. ty are deeply interested in the Sunda' School work, or that they are devote< pic-nicers. The day was a fine out and it was very agreeably spent. A a little past eleven, the two school; formed a procession aind marched 'ntj the church, which was soon filled. A the head of the column was a bannel stating on one side that the school wa: founded in 1827 by Zaccheus Wrigh and Abselom Glasgow, and contain ing on the other side the words of Zac cheus Wright, "Keep up the Sunda: School." This banner, which has Cona good service, having been madle b: Mr. L. M. Speers some twenty year; ago, was borne by Win. Wright au< John P. Glasgow, grandsons of tlzi founders of the Sunday School. Th< exercises consisted of singing by th( school, and addresses by G. G. Sale Geo. B Cronmer and the Rev. A. A Gilbert. The dinner was sumptuous and as it provoked a very animate< discussion on that day, we will no multiply words about it here. The da' brought interest, pleasure and success A Blaze in Newberry. The Pratt building occupied by Dr. L A. East as a drug store was dlestroyer by fire Tuesday night. The attentioi of Mr. Pat. Duckett who was returning ata late hour, arrested by smoke gush ing from all the chimneys. He thiei discovered the fire, which had mad little headway, in the cellar, near th front of the building. The fiame spread rapidly and soon envelope the store. The building was Insured wit] Messrs. Glenn & Pool, in the Hom Co., New York, for $2,600. and thl counters and shelving, in the sam company, for $400. The building mnus have been worth at least $3,500. Dr. East saved nothing. His stoc] and fixtures were covered by insurane of $4,000. The stock was insured wit1 Messrs. Mower & Jones, in the Imperi al and the German American, each $1250; also, with Mr. F. Werber, Jr. in the British American AssuranC Company, for $900. The fixtures wer insured wvith Mr. F. Werber, Jr., i the Merchants', Newark, N. J.. fo $500; and the safe, with same ageni in the British American Assurance Co. 'for $100. Dr. East's loss was abou covered. The building belonged to the tw Pratt children, who, with their motheri Priscilla Johnson, occupied the secon story. The family made a narro, escape, and saved nothing except tw or three small articles of furniturt This loss was not covered by insuranec With the greatest difficulty Mrs Mower's store .iust across the stres was preventedl fromi igniting. The fir daagedl this building by breakin glass and melting the cornice. Los covered by insurance. Yesterday morning the front was fell and crushed to the gr ound Willi Cannon, colored. His head was badl skinned, and lie was seriously but, is thought, not fatally hurt. So the fire fiend has taken anothe huge (lose of medicine ! Strange t say, the agent of the LaFrance Fir Engine Company was in town for th purpose of exhibiting the workings ( an engine. The hose aind reel ha arrivell, and the engine and enginee were expected. The fire came as telling argument in favor of the pu: chase of an engine.

In the language of a certain writer. a "I am a man. and nothing which re lates to man can be a matter of uncon c cern to me." I concur. I can't see s enough of my fellow man at home, or his sister, or his brother, or other inem t bers of his family, therefore I go 1. abroad.

Walker, and the Glenn's Spring. t near by. The trip up the S. & U. ro:ad, 1 was madc on Sarurday the 12th, and - from Alston, I was h:ippy in being out side of a liberal qluamtity of delicious buttermilk kindly provided by my good friend Mrs. Elkins. I accompanied a t cousin from Charleston, Mr. W. F. 1 Strong, who wished to place hiz afflic ted son in the first named Institution, but who like most te.:der hearted pa rents wanted to see somethi:ng of its inner workings b. fore doing so. Luck ily we met Mr. Walker on the train. and had the advantage of becoming aeqiainted with him thus eariy in the day, and f think the trio were mutual - ly pleased with each other. Reaching the point of emb.ireation at half-past five, a score or more of bright girl mutes, of all sizes and types of beau ty, greeted the arrival of their blhved t preceptor. This not being in the pro 1 gramme, and the delight experienced in beholding such a bevy of happy, in telligent girls, all animated and with sparrling eyes, and hands rapidly mov ing in sign language, telling of their' unbounded joy. completely captured me, I could have taken each and every one of them in my arms and kissed them, not only for their mothers but for myself. That meeting of principal anl pupils settled the matter vith cou sint Strong, the evidence was strong and convincing as " proofs of holy writ." he was satisfied that love was the base upon which the whole super structure rested. and his son from that moment might consider himself a meni ber of that happy family. A drive of a mile brought us to the college, a no ble brick structure sufficiently large to accommodate double its number of in mates. An early and appetizing sup per, prayers in the spacious chapel, spoken for the blind, and in sign lan guage for the mutes, by Mr. Walker, pleasant conversation afterwards with the ladies, including Miss Mamie Cline, and Miss Ella Shuford, the latter is re membered as living in Newberry when a child, and who had not forgotten the writer, made the day and night a plea sure long to be thought of. Next morning Sunday, deliciously cool -nd invigorating, found me and the trong cousin out in the atnios phere, enjoying the early morning landscape, with its "sweet fields of living green," and grassy slopes, sup plemented by a walk to the famous spring, and then a delicious breakfast, consisting of tender steak, of charac ter unknown in Newberry, newly laid eggs, delicate ham, coffee fit for the gods, and other concomitants put the little party in splendid trim for a ride to Glenn's Spring. This was accom plished throuh the kindness of Mr. Walker-the istanlce eight miles. A meeting with several old friends-Mr. Wistar Simpson, as genial and pleasant as of old, his two sons. Miss Jane Ba, len, Mr. Geo. Smith. Mlaj. Glenn, Mlr. Charlie Davis, pind thme two Zimmer mans, a plentifl supply of mineral water, a twvo hour chat, a promise to repeat the visit and abide for a time, andI we took a backward movement for -Cedar Springs. A capital dinner-by -the way this pairt of the system at this institution is fully up to and in keep I ing with everything done there-fitted me for the exercises of the afternoon, which consistedh of a read sermon. andl prayers both spoken and in sign lan guage, by MIr. Walker, together with the reading by signs and explanation of a Psalm by MIr. Hughston ; this was written oni blackboards, and had to be memorized and produced on slates by -the mutes next morning. It was my pleasure to see this done. Another good breakfast-they feed there-the kind and acconmplishmed MIatron, MIrs. V. E. Walker, long since having dis covered that the way to the heart lies Ithrough the stomach. After this meal the (differenlt class rooms were visited. and we were dlelighmtedl at the wonder fuml p)roficienicy exhibited, the bright, sunny faces of the mutes, and their ,rapid, animated responses, took me captive, while my coz, wiping the dewv I from his eyes, whispered, 'enough, tenough, this is the place for George." SSurely too, is it the place for every .deaf, dumb and blind child in the State, andl I make the app)eal to parents to send their afflicted childhren there, with the confident assurance of kind treat -ment and careful training. At the p)resent time there are sixty pupils, of bo0th sexes, and of all sizes, anid eyes there. Eleven are blind, with two blind teachers, MIr. L. H1. Cromer, in the literary department, an agreeable and intelligent gentle man, and 3Mr. HI. W. Estes, professor of niusic. Besides these are four other 1teachers in the mute classes, viz: 3Mr. J. 3M. Hlughston, already mentioned, who among his many other accomplish ment, has the talent of mimicry in re Speating the walk of all noted charac Sters he has ever seen. lie showedl me t the walk of M1r.

MIiss B. is the teacher of articu a lation, a new feature. and her pupils 2 are spoken to by lip signs, and articu Slate distinctly and well; the repeating rof the Lord's Prayer, and thme writing Sof my name, were most wonderful. This is a labor oi love. t ui.Wle.tepicipal, deserves the weoll done of the country. and we o cannot bitt think that the noble insti tution over which he presides merits a more generous and liberal appropria tion from the State, than it receives.

Those who raise their own corn say that this spring has been one of the most unfavorable in the ir experience, and that they are badly behind in planting. The dlry, winidy weather has injured the cotton, and is injurious to the wheat. Thouisands of children die under the age of five years. Why?

For sale by Dr. S. F. Fant. Last Friday the colored pie-nicers had a gay time in Newberry. The natives here wvere joined by excursion ists from Columbia and elsewhere, all on pleasure bent. Buggy rides, base ball playing, and many other amuse mentS con.tibuted to tihe pleasure of the occasion, and the gay pleasure seekers must have found the day al together too short. The editor of the Press and Banner ought a mulo wvarranted not to kick. We are not told what kind of soap rese lie intended to make. In the anguage of an eminent living philos opher, "'If a main should tell me he had saw a live tdeI that wvouldn't kik, I wvouldn't believe him on his oath after that. not even if lie swore he had lied about seeing a mule that wouldn't kick."' Mr. L. P. W. Riser who was the moing spirit in the management of the Lawn Party, asks us, on behalf of himself and the other members of the Liberty Hall congregation, to thanuk those who contribut 2d to the success of the party by their gifts and by their pre.ence and liberality on Friday night. He says the net receipts will be more thani sufficient to pay for the repairs needed at the church. Printers live on thin air and -''s, but occasionally have a little pi. They used tofrisket, but that is played out, and they lock up their forms at night, so as to give imnpressions in the morn ing, then they distribute their matter in case, except such portions as have to stand without setting. Verily the lines of printers are rd:ed andl spaced. Their beds too are of iron, their blankets of ,.nbandn their Asht of paper. Personal. Mr. and Mrs. B. B. Hunter spent Sunday in town. Mr. S. O.

Schumipert of Prosperity has gone to Poughkeepsie, New York, to take a business course in the Col lege at that place. He will be gone three months. Crop Prospects. A visit to the country last week con vinced us that the prospects of the grain crop are more discouraging than they have been reported. The cotton was planted late, and the unfavorable weather has not so much affected it. The wheat is more promising than the oats, but it will not bear comparison with last year's crop. As a rule, the heads are short and small. The oats sown in the spring, and unfortunately most of them were sown in the spring, have been kept back by the dry, windy weather, and in many places they will hardly grow high enough for harvest ing, if it remains dry a few days longer. As usual fall oats are somewhat better than spring oats. Corn is backward, and many planters have been prevent ed by the dry weather from planting their bottom lands. Altogether, the farmers have found this spring most unfavorable. But we hope that good rains will give better crops than pres ent indications seem to promise. "A Blessing in Disguise." 484 ADELPHI ST., BROOKLYN, N. Y., March 29. 1881. No family should be without ALLCOCK's PoRous PLASTERS; their healing powers are wonderful and their efficacy far reaching and lasting. For years past I have seen and known them to cure and relieve the most obstinate and distressing cases of rheum atism, kidney complaint, bronchitis, neural gia, lumbago, inflammation of the lungs and throat, paralysis, asthma, spinal weakness, and coughs and cold<. In my own case they have afforded me almost instant and permanent relief. My friends consider them an invaluable and speedy remedy for all kinds of aches and pains. They are a bless ing in disguise; and no wife or mother should be without them if she values her peace and comfort and freedom from nerv ous exhaustion and other ailments. As a strengthening plaster, also for backaches and weaknesses, they have no equal. I have never yet found a plaster so eticacious and stimulating, or to give so much general satis faction. U-ed in connection with BRAND RETH'6 universal life-giving and life-healing P'ILLS, no one need despair of a speedy re storation to good sound health. MRS. E. TOMPKINS. ONE TRIAL. If you have been using other Plasters one trial of ALLOCK's Ponous will convinceyou of their wonderful superiority. Take no other so called porous plasters that claim to be better, they are all frauds gotten up to sell on the world-wide reputation of the genuine article. A pril3, 14-3m, cow. THE GREAT OF THE SEASON. Spinmg has been very slow in ptutting in an aaipearance, but it has come at last, And so has our stock of Staple and Fancy DRY GOODS, Consisting of a very nice small selee tion of dress goods of EVERY SHADE, PRICE AND QUALITY. Notions, Hosiery, Gloves, and as for White Goods and Hamburg Edge ings, Laces, Trimmings, and L<adies Fine Neck Wear-, it is perfectly superb. From the fact that we had to take from all the manufacturers whatever they had left, we propose to blow our own horn, andi say right here that we have not bought all thle goo(ds in tile market, but we (10 intend to sell all of our goods as low as we can afford, but we cannot afford to sell goods at less than the raw material cost. ML1EL I8 FOR OIR SHOE STOCK. We only had a few pairs manufactured from the scraps that were left, and we have got up in that way, a very fine selection of Ladies, Misses anId Men's Shoes, and Every pair warranted at that. We had almost fotgotten to mention OUR HAT STOCK, And no0w say that it is very- fine. for we have just had a Baud putt on an 01(1 Straw Hat, and had a Black Stiff Brim med Hat Dyed. The trade when in the city will not lose anything by examiniiing our stock. THE PIMSOLS AND FANS, Are just lovely, eome anId see them friends. To sum tip the matter we cannot sell goods for nothing for we have to pay House Rent, Clerk Hire, Inisurance and Taxes. Bult if our old patrons and the public generally in passing will only drop in on us, and furnish the wrap ping paper and twine, we will just throw in the goods, and no questionis asked.
