The grand jurors were p romnptly at their places, and the Judge delivered to them a short charge in wh:ich he ex plained their general powes and due ties, and the natu~re of the crimes charged in certain hills of inicitment handed out by the Sol'citor. A remarkable circumnstaniee in con neetion with this Court, and one al most without parallel, is that only one petit juror had to be called, at the opening, and he answered promptly. - The following cases were disposed of: State against Austin Weaver, charg ed with burglary and larceny, nol. prossed, The defendant is serving a term in the penitentiary. State vs, 0. P. Saxon, carrying con cealed weapon,-transferred to con tingent calendar. State vs. 0. P. Saxe on, Assault wvith intent to kill--tranis ferred to same calendar. State vs, U. B.

BOO .E P. M. 3niffies at Glenn's Spring. Yes, I am at Glenn's, old Glenn's of ny old happy memory; got here at r.30 in the twilight gloaming Saturday veuing,last, tired, almost fagged out y the long, hot ride by rail, through dusty, parched country which is suf ering for rain, and supplemented by he twelve mile hack ride from Spar ;anburg. How my bones ached. Every nile of that weary, jolting, thumping. )umping ride I wished I were home gain. Before leaving Spartanburg I net the Rev. J. B. Campbell, and vould have accepted his pressing invi ;ation to lie over, but I dislike to lie-if t only be over,-when the objective )oiut is definitely fixed upon, I don't ike to make two bites at a chewing, )articularly if a sour one as in this ase, I was tired. I promised to visit in on my return, after convalescing. forgot to inform the reader that I am )n the convalesce, have been on it ince Friday, the day I left my sick >ed, and pulled away from home fa.t mnings and comforts, to hunt the thing eyond all price-health. I have had very little of it in late years, and ap preciate it very much when a little :aste is afforded me. I HoPE TO FINiD [T HERE, and Mr. Wistar Simpson, the [ather of the clever boys who run the [Iotel, and for whom the spring yields its supply of life-giving water, tells me t-at I surely shall. I believe him. [ am pleased to say that he is looking md feeling vastly better than when I aw him one month ago. I am not the only one here, there are SIXTY )THER CONVALESCENTS; almost every ounty in the State is represented by >ne or more. I need not say that Newberry is-Clark is here and look' is keen as a cambric needle, Burns is iere, vastly improved, Wheeler is here ilso, and so is Reagin and then I am here, and Eugene gnitfes; my old and long tried friend, Capt. Sigwald is here, for which I am glad, besides many others, among whom are a large umber of wives, mothers and daugh - ters, the latter largely predominating, and but for the fact that most of the gentlemen here have unruly livers, inmanageable kidneys, weak digestive organs or some one or more of the many ills to which flesh is heir, I might think that these fair ones have come HERE TO GET HUSBANDS. but such is not the case. Many of them, no doubt, in spite of their frisk iness and ability to hide the canker of disease, have similar troubles, and have to drink the water, and partake of the good things afforded by the ouse. I notice that there are no vacant places at table, the entire sixty. ive doing full work. How pleasant it is when brethren dwell together in unity, and they can do so when the needs of the stomach are properly provided for. I occupy a cabin, it is cooler than the hotel, and I can soouer get up a good condition of convales eence in the cool of the cabin than in the main building, and it shall be my pleasure tp tell you very soon how I am progressipg. In the meantime I will like to see Newberry coming up to her old time duty witlh a larger re presentation at Glenn's than there is at present. Several inquiries have been made already as to when Silas Johnstone, Esq., will show his beaming face here. I wish he were here now, and Chris. Suber, and a host of other good spirits. Chancellor Johnson, a! Marion, is also here. Come one, conic all, and be cured of all troubles you. Plb-i ____nn.I Ple-Nie in No. 4, The pic-nic announced to ocur at Mr. J. W. Scott's grove under the auspices of Mr. Pinckney Hipp's school, on Saturday the 7th, caine ofl on that day. The^ pic-nic had been looked forward to by th~e spirited young men of Larens, Unioni and Newberry Counties, and with equal interest and expectation by lier "Beauty;" and Ichronicle with pleasure that they were not disappointed. Early in the day carriages, bugges and wagons began to drive in, and persons to gather at the grove at Mr. Scott's residence which was the seene of 'his interesting occasion. It will be impossible to give an account ini detail or merited praise in eve;ry parti ular, and it will not do to dilscriminate, so I must omit some things I would like to say. I must say the perfection of the music, instrumental (piano, violin and accordeoni) and vo zal, reflect ed credit on the performers and called forth the highest praise. At twelve o'clock a magnificent ovation was served wvhich was unani mously and spiritedly enjoye d. the fea.M did honor to the tasteful h<at undier whose auspices it was served. After the feast wa.s ove'r the amusements ol the day were resumed, viz: Blackberry Pie, or Whipping the Fellow around the Stump, -Stag Danice, Courting, Social Chatting, Favorite Game of Mr. W. C. Cronier, Leap Frog, Courtish Buggy Rides, and various other social amusements. At a late hour in the evening the notes of the music died away, the noble and graceful forms faded ini the evening's duskand melted like dreamns of the past. All was hush ed at and around Mr. Scott's. I cain not close this aceount without mention of th~e cordial hospitality of the citizens of the surrounding country upon this splendid occasion, and the good order observed; I never saw better, and I must compliment the managers for their promptness, viligance and excel lent judgment, Our friend, Mr. J. W. Scott, also deserves his nined of praise for the ample preparations made at his residence for the accommodation of te pic-nicers. On suggestion of Uncle Jared Smith that the notes of this pie-nic be pub lised in allof the County newspapers, so mote it be, , B. Personal. Mrs. Josephine Milam, of Atlanta, is in town on a visit to her kindred. Mrs. Butler, of Charleston, is visit ing her daughter, Mrs. Evans. Mrs. S.

She spent several years in New berry, completing a course in the fe male academy, this year, and has many riends in our towp who regret her de partur Presentment of the Grand Jury. To the Honorable J. B. Kershau-, Pre sidig Judge: The undersigned, Grand Jurors for the said County (Newberry), by this their presentment would respectfully show to this Honorable Court: That, under your Honor's suggestion, no examination has been made at the present term of the Court into the condition of the Public Buildings; an examination, as thorough as the cir ciunstances would permit, having been made by us at the February Term of this Court, and no special matter re I quiring our investigation having been called to our attention. We would call to the attention of the proper officials needed repairs upon our public highways: and especially on j the Huey's Ferry Road, new: Dr. J. C. Ilalfacre's; on the road from Newberry Court House to Bouknight's Ferry; and on the road from Langford's (for merly O'Neall's) Mill to Jesse Senn's. A bridge in Township No. 9, near Henry Dominick's Old Mill, is danger ous and needs immediate attention. We would again urge the building of the bridge over Duncan's Creek, On the Bineombe Road. heretofore recom mended by us. All of which is respectfully submit ted. S. A. HUNTER, Foreman. Newberry, C.

A few days ago ten of Mr. Walter Counts's hogs were killed by eating young cockle-bur weeds. As a medium for Advertisers the Newberry HERALD cannot be excelled. It is popular all over the State. Dr. Fant's back is getting up on the delinquent question. He is gentle when stroked, but tierce when pro voked. Mr. A. J. Marchant, St. George's S. C., says : "I used Brown's Iron Bit ters for decrepitude. It has made me strong." Reports from various parts of the County convince us that the cotton crop is good, though it may be a little "backward." We are sorry that we could not at tend the Base Ball pie-nic at Herbert's Mill on last Saturday. We return thanks for an invitation. The Auditor thinks that the returns for this year show that there are about tlu:ee times as nany hogs in tjie County as there were last year. IDr. W. E. Pelham is expecig Mr. James M.

Premiums are in store for five huni dred new sub.seribers to the Newberry HERALD. Will these premiums be claimed, or will we have to bestow them on non-subscribers. Let us see. Some thirty Lexingtonians were in attendlance upon Court, this week as witnesses in the case of the State against Jacob (Limber) Epting, charg ed with perjury. The case was put off, and the time of the witnesses lost. The uieasles were playing havoc in the New Chapel neighborhood last week. At one time there were six cases on Mr. Boyd's place. A negro woa died of 'measles, in the same neighborhood, week before last. Miss Fannie Setzler's school pic-nic, near Mr. Felix Graham's, last Saturday, was a pleasant affair. Addresses were made by Geo. B. Cromner and Maj. J. K. Nance. Thme people in that neigh borhood are awake on the subject of education. The senior of the HERALD failed to attend the Press Convention, and is now at Glenn's Spring for the recuper ation of his wasted energies. There are several Newherrians th!ere. New berry ougaht to buy out the spring and move it down here. Last week the tank-diggers in the rear of the Court House, unearthed an old rusty bayonet. Now let the arch aologists put their heads together and tell its age. It is not likely that they will have to go far ther back than the days of militia dlrills. At the teachers' examination last week there were two white applicants, both for second grade certificates. Many of the white teachers have first grade certificates running for three years. There were fifteen colored ap plicants; five for first grade, eight for second grade, and two for third grade certificates. Before- the examination was concluded, one third grade and one second grade applicant gave up the game. Saleday was very quiet and very few people were in town. There were sales neithef by the master nor the sheriff. There were no fights and not a single case of drunkenness. What has the Newberry Observer to say to this ?-Abberille Medium. That question must have been in tended for the HERALD, and we have to say only this : As there "were very few people in town," saleday is not indispensable as a (lay of recrea tion for the farmers. Trhat "there were no fights and not a single case of tirunkenness," shows an encouraging Improvement in the public morals of abbeville, for the Mediuiii evidently expected both drunkenness and fights; alse why make the absence of rowdy ism a subject of remark? The most reliable, carefully prepared and )est purgative of the present age is BRANDRETII'S PILLS. They are compounded of Roots, Herbs and sums of the most healing and beneficial kind. As a Family Medicine they are unrivalled, curing Head-ache, Constipation, Liver Com plaint, Rheumatism, Dyspepsia - clearing the blood of all impurities-acting on the Liver, IXidneys and other important organs, removing the waste tissue, and adding years to the lives of all who use them. For fifty years they have been used by the American pubiic, and their constantly in creasing sales show bow they are appreciated. A Perfect Remedy in 20 Diaeases. ASHPIELD, MAss. I am verging on eighty years, apd deem it my duty to suffering humanity to say that my long life is due to BRANDRETH'S PILLS yhigh have been my sole medicine for half a century. I know the last forty-three years of my life is owing solely to their use. Your PILLS saved me many times after the best medical skill in several States had given me up as hopeless. I have had many converts to purgation with BRANDUETH'S PILLS, and have seen them perform almost miracles of cure. For children, a few doses have cured measles, searlet fever, and whooping cough. In all female troubles and weakness I have never known them to fail. In adult males I have known t7erp to pure the worst cases of dyspepsia, rheumatism, kidney diseases, dys: entry and diarrhea; even dropsy, paralysis, and apoplexy have yielded to a persistent course of BRANDRETH'S PILLS. In fact I have found them the true Life Elixir. They act as continual preventives against the ef'ects of time, disease, and labor. JOHN H. MANN FOR THE HERALD. The Ga-many School Pic-Nic Came off on Wednesday, the 4th of July, and it has seldom been our privilege to witness so pleasant an occasion of the kind. This school is presided over by bir. J. G. Martin. There had been some arrangements began for some exercises in the school and a program had been contemplated, but owing to the sickness of Mr. Martin's wife, the school had not met for some days, and the program had never been completed. We had hoped to see Mr. Martin take his school through the daily routine of exercises in their regular order, but owing to the misfor tunes as stated above, there was only singing and speeches by some of the scholars, we did not get In in time to hear all the speak ing, only four or five of the boys spoke after our arrival. Their speeches, we thought, were well put, with evidences of un developed oratorical powers. Mrs. Texie Wilson, with her organ, render ed the music and gave an interlude between the speeches. After the pupils had spoken, Major J. K. Nance was called on fora speech, and with his usual suavity, responded by complimenting the children for the rapid strides they have made in their literary at tainments, and a flattering compliment to their teacher, for his proficiency as an in structor. He said that his own children had made more progress in five months under Mr. Martin's care than for any two years previous under other teachers. Major Nance closed by introducing Mr. Henry Boyd of Prosperity. Mr. Boyd catechised the chil dren a little on the historical events of 1778, showing why the 4th July in each year is commlenlorated as th~e birtliday of our inde pendenee, and is a national holiday. He then made a brief speech on Southern litera ture and showed very clearly how important It is for parents and instructors generally to keep trashy novels ahid worthless literature out of the reach of our children and young people generally, but rather place in their hands good books of Southern production, something substantial. en tertaining and true. I hope Mr. Boyd wilt band i:is manuscript to ye editors for publieation. Mr. Boyd certain ly reflected great credit on himseir. We bc speak for bh'n a successful future. He is undoubtedly a young man of fine brain and high attair ments, for one so young and yet so unfortunate. Our County School Commissioner, Rev. J. C. Boyd, was then called on, and responded in an address of thirty minutes. He spoke of two difficulties in his way; one was the fact of having two races to deal witlh which hae said s a hindering cause; the other was the very limited amount of money appropria ted for the carrying on of the free common schools. Mr. :oyd, I have no doubt, sees the first difficulty of which he spoke; but he failed enutrely to show us where the diffleulty lies. The other trouble is quite manifest, we can all see thatt and do feel it sensibly. He gives te average appropriation per capita, for Newberry County at three dollars and forty cents ($3.40); which, he says, and we all know, is entirely insufficient; and re commends ihat the people do supplement ta with an amount sufficient to run the schools. He advises the employment of good teachers only. Mr. Boyd further said that in his opinion no one should be allowed to send to the public schools, who did not pay some. thing themselves. We think Mr. Boyd is wrong there, for we all know, (Mr. B. not excepted) that there are a great many people in our County, both white and black, who are not able to pay any thing for tuition, and that would totally deprive all such of giving their children any education at all, that would be wrong, abd to say the least very uncharitable. He did not speak as having any hope for the success of our free comillon schools. Mr. Boyd then eulogized Mr. Martin as a teacher, in the very highest terms. He spoke of him as being a ripe scholar, a man who h'ad educated himself, had acquired his education at home, had devoted the prime of his life to teaching, and as having his whole soul enlisted in the work. A moral man, a man of brain, and a man who does his own thinking. And finally said that if Mr. Mar tin was not present, he would speak at some length about him. We feel at a loss to know what more he could have said to Mr. Martin's credit, had he not been present. Mr. Boyd then congratulated the people in having such a teacher. He said much had been said of late about new methods of teaching, but that there was much more in men than modes of instruction. He conclud ed by advising the patrons not to let their teacher pass from them. Mr. Martin then made a few remarks appropriate to the occasion; and expressed himself as having no fears for the future of his pupils. He hoped to see the public school system a success, and believes that it will at no very distant day be the pride of the land. He thanked his patrons for their co-opera tion which is a great help to teachers, and thanked the audience for their genteel deport ment during the exercises. He gave us a cooter tale, and closed until dinner could be set. I now come to the part that everybody Is always interested in-dinner. The best shade had been selected, and Mr. H. C. Wilson called out lustily for everybody who had a basket stuck about anywhere to bring it there. Strange how quick the call was responded to, for in less time than it takes to write it, a long table was spread, well loaded with the best of viands when, after a blessing by Rev. Mr. Boyd, a general attack was made all along the line. The engagement lasted near an hour when the attacking columns all fell back, leaving un mistakable evidences of dreadful carnage. One poor fellow was heard to say as he re tired, that he did not fcel one bit hungry. There were more than 130 people well fed, and plenty left for 70 more. After dinner the old people gathered in groups in the shades, and engaged in social conversation; while the young folks repaired to the school house and enjoyed themselves tripping the ight fantastic. ThLa we celebrated the fourth of July with as much general enjoy ment as you ever see in so large a crowd. BEEFEM.
