I Last Wednesday was AsU-vVYcdncsday, the the fitbt day of Lent, and sorvices%cre held iu ' the Church of the Nativity in this town, hy llev. j J. I>. Mc'Jullouglt. In the Columbia lleyisier of that day we find the following Interesting account of the origin of the word "Lent" and I the am icr.t and modern customs adopted by the , chuvches who|oHterve the ^e;unju : ? ? Ash-Wednesday, the lirst day iu Lout, called I by the f:\lheis of the church < <//.?/ jr/uti ., the I beginning of the fast, or </?< * cunum, tioli-d:>y, i iu allusion to the viistom, which still prevails 1 i t the iloiiiiiii I'iitli.ili.? i'liiii..!. uiiiiiil.liiii# ?!>., I - ? "i 6 " '.villi 1'siies. Lent is a fust of foity days I imiaoliuicly preceding Luster. The origin of ' t<10 word is nine r..iiu : some derive it from the t . axon i:.ici ?/, implying spring, or the season | when la#days nullum others from the I 'del limn I: miii, io thaw. The object of ilie test Iris also bco:i disputed, but it is generally regit tiled as a preparation for Easter, nod a time specially set apatl for repentance over tiic sins of the past year; while the number of forty days devoted to it is thought to have reference to the Saviour's forty days fast in the wilderness, to the tony days' deluge, the liny days' wandering of llie .lews, the forty days <rr. ntcil to the Nuiehi vitos for repentance, or the time spent ia fasting by Moses and Klias. St. Jerome speaks of tlie fast ns a memorial of the Saviour's passion. According to the same wife, as well as St. Leo. St. Augustine and nx?:-t i f the fatiiers of the fourth nnd tilth centusies, it wvis instituted I)y tlie apostles, although l'ro(jF-tants i|omnioipy hold tha$ it tvns not estaoI shod unlil the second or 'ltird century. l? seems to have been obligatory a3 early as A. L) "id. At Ksi there was gie t diversity in lue tiuic and manner of its onsetvancc. its duration w s soon fixed by the church at thirty-six days, to which four were sul sequent ly addi-'. Abt-Wednesday is, t icreforc the forty-sixth day beta* e I' cr. the six Sundays which cute: vena between it and tlit*t festival v. . being counted es ?>. .of Lent nor obsc veil as fast b..ys. In :lio l'otnan iliolic Chinch the ramie of the test is prescribed by rule. Only one meal a day is:, lowed, and at this ilie use of tledi meat is prohibite the precept of fnslmg always implvitig that of abstinence of tie it. A siigli ii'i ctian, howevci, may bo taken morning ".ad even ing. the qunn'lty of food not to exceeed two outice in the former case and eiglii ounces in t'uc laltei. Hut considerable modifications oT these rules arc made in countries where the clima.e or habits of tho people render their observance injurious to health, and dispensations are abo fierpicntly grautud in favor of persons. In the Catholic Church in the United States the use of tlosli meat is allowed several times a week, at tin ilisctctnn ot the tu-uiops. In the Creek Church the rules are slricter, anil tliore arc four lentcn fasts in the year. The Protestant dcnuminaiions which recognize the season of Lent generally leave the mauncr of observance to individual judgment. L.U'Kr.xs f'orv.T.?The present session of the Laurens Court has been of the greatest interest, the most important cases being tlie trials of Alf MeNiueh, .1. I.. M.

Joy. > Mr. Kdi?)u:?When 1 receive ^0 Ti?t:s, my first look is for.lhc news from other parts<>f the County, and if thcro is none in its columns I am not "satisfied. But then I think, whose fault is it ? The Editor can't take a trip prery week through the County to pick up what is going oa iu each township, therefore, if some ouo. don'tVvrito and tell him there's 110 chance fo** IIIui to get it. Ml Joy is not much of a p.aco for news, but now and then something occurs out of the usual way, and I've thought that j perhaps a kt er from here semi >ocnsionally woiiM sl.ii I some in ilic other hwmj' -s to dointhe some, ami in the end we u;ght make the li.nes truly the Cju ny paper, in which o. n be found all lirit tiasphcs in every township? besides, the opinions of tho people of ench township could be expressed through your columns u; a i any public question, and then we could act together uudcrstamlingiy, so hero goes : Our farmers n.e busy at inork?some at one thing "ad some nt another. Most of them have to build pasture fences, and it eoincs hard ott many. A majority of the people on the Ridge a\e opposed to the Stock law, but we could not he'p ourselves after the Legislature passed it.? I think wc ought to have been allowed to vole on it. I hope the law will prove a good thing ; if it don't it must be repealed. I saw an article in last week's Tiling stating I lb at a Revenue officer had been shot near Piuokrcj Ferry, in Union County. There was a little scrimmage between a Moonshiner and a Revenue olficer, in which the latter had a finger shot oil'; out it occurred in Chester Ooutny, not Union. None of the citizens of tho neighborhood were engaged in itic difficulty, so I unders . tJ. I don't know lliu particulars. 1 th nk our Legislators did a glorious thing when they passed the act requiring those who li .l p. id their taxes in State Rank bills, to pay in curiont money. It must have hurt some peo- * pic'8 feelings. I don't know whether there are any such in l'inckncy township, but 1 can't help saying that those who paid taxes in tho'c hills did injustice to their fellow citk-.cns of ihe County. Mr. liditor, ple.se inform mo who pays the ^ c->sts for issuing executions against those delinquent (.) tax payers who hire rrc'p-'sj'ron ine 7"; '*ofW tor ft' V 'tf M ? SnIIVaI V i? ...... VI j II villi IIVI ?#V cliargcil to (lie County or State ! If I was asked who ought to pay, I should say, the party who wvs the cause of the mistake?whether it be the Treasurer or the Auditor. I don't wish to im ke unnecessary complaint against any one, but I learn that quite a number of tax executions have been issued against persons who have receipts in their pockuis. Tlissc errors may not do any real wrong to individuals, but it is very annoying to any one who has pnid his taxes to have _ constable poke an execution at l.ini, virtually telling him that his property will be sold for a debt to the S.alc and County. All men a.e liable to make mistakes, but our oflicials should be more c.u'eu 1 than any one else to guard against mistake" ; particularly in matters wlicro public funds are involved. No man can or wilj u.-pcct our County Treasurer of being capable of doing a dishonest act. If till men were as honest as he i?, this would be a safe and happy woild to live in. 1 nicely speak of the matter to show that the people do complain of thoso rrors ; but 1 have never heard a charge of dishonesty whispered against cither the Treasurer or .ui liter. Ferhaps those oRicials can explain I lie matter satisfactorily. If so, they ought to do it. T. A Woman's Con. kssiox of Mrnnr.u.?Cinciunntli, Tebruary 18.?
