Adger has already mot with far grentor success than its .most sanguine supporters bad any reason ( to .expect. It seems to have supplied a "neces sity"-fil'od "an oohing void." Our advice to thc young people of our town .when they hjjvo reny cou ri lng, sqW?z?ng of Lands or iovc^mnkip?, io., do these nights, is not to hjdo. t(iomsc,lves,off pp the back or front piazza, in tho dark,,0,01 (jj take \t cofr/fortably .in tim parlor, by a good wnrrrj frro, (i ti dor tho mellow light of a porcelain lamp of n pine knot blaze This is genteel and becormngi u Rev. S. L. Morris preached two excellent ser mons lo li is flock on Inst Sabbath mmh'nn'g and nt night. His reasoning was good and arguments Convincing. They were Gospel messages; and What the world needs just now ia more pf, this kind of preaching and less about theological dogmas tn the pulpit. , We had the pleasure of seeing the eclipse of tho moon on last Sabbath morning. The calipee bogan about .three o'clock and ended about half-past 5. It^w.as not total, thc moon being only armut threc-foufths eclipsed. The ?eight was very pretty, ino s"ky being free from clouds. The ladies' on the Walhalla bound train Saturday night had our warmest sympathies. We hope Miss Lonft McG. and Miss Emma McG. will visit our town again, when they ?will not bo compelled rp spend tho night in a car not adapted to sleeping purposes. Thc happiest man that w? h'av?.scen for" a Jpng tim?is Mr. L.

The arrival was a son and weighed-wo don't know how many pounds. He will bo u student for Adger College some day. . The. young people of the Presbyterian Church have taken our advice of last week nnd have organized a choir for the church Wo huio been told that tho singing on Inst Sabbath was quito an improvement on tho phi. Under the skillful management of the organ by Miss Julia Johnson and practico with tho singers wo don't see why they should not make good music. Let your choir bc composed of those who can and will sing. .

During the session of the Sonate, on Satur* day, Mrs. Carponter, tho wife of L. Cass Car penter appeared upon the floor of the Sonnte, und had circulated among the morabcrs a fiotition, addressed to the Governor, praying br the pardon of her husband, who is now confined in jail at this place. The petition sots forth that the prisoner bas already suf fered sufficient punishment; that he is in very bad health, and that his family, consisting of his wife and three helpless children, nre uttorly dependent on him for support. The unfurtyrjrittJjedy and devoted wife-herself on invalid-excited general sympathy by her evident distress and quiet ladylike maooer in thc discharge of her painful, affectionate duty, and. to their everlasting credit bc it said, not ono of tho honorable gentlemen oompesing the Senate of South Oarolioa turned a deaf ear to her mute appeal for relief. She placed tho paper on which her happiness and that of of her husband and ohildren depends, in the hands of Sonator Gary, who soon returned to her the petition bearing tho signatures of ovory Sonator in the hall. It has boon sub mitted to the Governor, and it way safely bo asserted that it is both boped ?nd expocted that he, too, will hoarkon to ber pleading?, and that tho unfortunate utan will be par doned and allowed to go free,, [Cor. of News and Courier.
