While the ('lifiord Seminary is entirely a private enterprise, it has done much public good in llie way of imparting higher cduca! tion to young ladies, from all parts of the State, thereby giving character to the town > for superior educational facilities, which should he appreciated hy our citizens, and the institution encouraged iioi only hecauso i it is a worthy home enterprise, 'ait for its intrinsic merit". r --- - i Vacancy m the Citadol.

Writ of Habeas Corpus. Judge Wallace was engaged last Tuesday afternoon in hearing applications for bail on mr?7i i.f LtiLiiim Ciiriiftv t f I ( Wo ("itXPtt of lintlli* " ?'l "" ~ ? ". ?? tide from Columbia. Tlic case of W. 1>. Kelly, white, for the killing of (icorge lJatcuian, colored, in Columbia. sometime ago, who was tried, but tb? Jury failed to agree, ami the application was made for bail; .Judge S. W. Melton representing the defense, and Solicitor 1*. II. Nelson representing the State. The affidavits used in the case were pretty much llit same as those used at the trial. Solicitor Nelson resisted the motion for bail, on the ground that, under the provision of the Constitution, where the presumption is great that the killing was murder, bail shall not be granted, and as the Jury failed to agree, as in this case, the presumption was great. After argument Judge Wallace took the ease under advisement. The other ease was that of W. D. Meet re, for the killing of James I. Clark, on the .'td of August, in Columbia, for alleged improper advancements towards Meetzc's wife. Several affidavits were submitted as to the conduct of Clark towards Mrs. Mectze, and as to the character of Clark and the fatal encounter . Judge Wallace reserved his decision in this case also. Judge Melton staled that bis raason for making application to Judge Wallace was because Judge Kershaw was absent from the State, Judge Praser was at (Ueun Springs, and Judge Wirherspoon away absent from home, made it more convenient to apply to Judge Wallace. The Sabbath Day. We have received from a highly respected friend, a lengthy but well written communication on the desecration of (lie Sabbath in this town, hut have only room thin week for ilie following extract. The communication will appear in full next week : "Now.

"Two Sundays ago 1 was up on Main Street, and while there heard "an American i-itizcu of African descent " say to some of his brethren, "conic with me to and take Soda Water," and they went. The witnesses are living who say that on l:i*t Sunday the hum of the milk shaker declared the fact that the sheep and cattle of the Amalekites were not all saeritied on the held of battle: and tliat at the approach of evening shades the blaze of the lamps and the significant dick of glnsses across the counter told the talc that, like Nudnh and Abihu, men will still handle strong fire, even on the holy Sabbath.

It was a foregone conclusion that the County Sunday School Convention should be a success, and well did its friends make it so. The Ladies of New Hope and surrounding country know how to entertain a Sunday School Convention. It would be impossible to get a crowd together that their hospitality wouldn't feed. The delegates, friends and visitors from a distance were well taken care of. Our headquarters were with Mr. and Mrs. B. W. Whitlock. Mrs. W. is the laughter of that staunch citizen and farmer, Mr. Jcssee Bishop. It would afford us much pleasure to give a full account of the proceedings, but the crowded condition of the Times makes that impracticable.

Mr. Editor.?Perhaps a few dots from ! our New Hope section may interest some of your readers, and I ask for space in your columns to give them. In the early part of the present year our , people resolved that they would have a new houso in which to worship (Jod, and at once I set about putting that resolution into prac- i tice. Our worthy minister, Rev. D. P. Boyd, took an active part with us in the : work, and much of our success is due to his efforts. A building oommittcc was appointed, and all the preliminary plans were arranged. The ladies, of course, gladly came to our help, and on the 14lh of February they gave a hot supper, from which i the net sum of $75 25 was realized. Tbo work has gone on amDpow the building only needs another coat. of paint, and it will then bo ready to bo dedicated to God's service. Our people acted their part zeal- i ously and faithfully, aud it is hut right that ' they should be bold in honorable remembrance for this good work. j On the fourth Sunday in July Uev. D. P. 1 Boyd began a scries of meetings?the first services held in the new building?aud the result was 23 Accessions to the church ; mostly bunday School scholars, from 10 to 13 years of age. . i .; ? The Cuuoly Sunday School Convention held its-session in it this year, and a profitable session it was. We believe an influence for good went out from tbat convention and will be as broad cast upon tho waters. On Friday before the fourth Sunday in October is a day set apart as "Children's day on Saturday our quarterly meeting will be held, and on Sunday the new house will be dedicated to the worship of Almighty God ; and then the New Hope of the past will be merged infb the New Hope of the future.

W1 tat is it that stirs my heart ant prompts a long-l'elt desire to say something regarding the wild, reckless stato that so ciety lias has plunged itsolf into, that will, after the long, long struggle to outstrip the past and improve the future, some day burst iuto atoms and fiud itself but a bubble that has bursted into empty nothingness. I like progress, in the right direction ; but in the present day is there not a quantity of vanity and foolislines mingled with the rapid progress, that science and literature are making and spreading over our land. 1 would, if possible, obliterate the ugly stumbling blocks that beset the pathway of our improved age, that our American people might show ihe world, what, a great Nation it ought to nn-l can be. The question now naturally arises, what must bo done, and what is the remedy to he used as a preventive? Ye mothers and fathers of the land, with you rests the solution of this problem, and it will have to be solved, ere we reaoh this desired haven of safety. Think seriously for a while, and see if there are not many vanities, to which you probably are given, and vanities that your children ought not to fdlow. Forsake them : set tho example, and your offspring will naturally follow in your footprints. Mothers, ought not your daughters know something beyond laces, fashionable materials, the laws that govorn a society woman, the struggle to obtain the titlo of Society Kolle, etc? Improve their hearts and ntinds, bring them up breathing the atmosphere of a cultivated mind and a pure heart and your daughters will be the w nnen , that America needs. Fathers, who rule the land with your giant intellect?and some with your vices? keeping paco with the rapidly revolving wheel of time, would you havo your sons follow you in these vicious pathways? If not use the intelligence that (Jod has given you, improve their minds and hearts, teach them by precept and example, to look beyond the drinking, and gambling saloons, a t the horrid vices that constantly beset iiu-iii. uini uivy tvui prove 10 do sous i which America can proudly boast. o Fisii I>AM. a Si m fob run Skmiwky.?

Our forefathers seemed to havo had the mistaken idea that if any of their sons were not smart euough to make successful iniuistors, lawyers, doctors or merchants, . they would do for farmers, and without th? least thought of farming becoming a scientific pursuit, they would mercilessly demand the virgin soil to give them a living. Now we sec that it takes brain to make our worn and washed hills and overflowed valleys smile with plenty; and there is truth in every word of the assertion that "if we foed and dress our lands they will itive us ample returns." The amounts that have been produced on an acre would have soemed fabulous a few years ago, yet 1 doubt not but these wonuer'ul returns per acre can bo increased, and vhnt we need, as my young friend in his es- ? ay says, is educated brain. WHAT FARMERS*OUGHT TO BEAD. Mil. Editor.?The day is not far distant, ve trust, when farming, like tho other proessions, will he conducted on scientific prin:iples; but before such is the coso, the faming classes must be educated?not merely to mow how to read, write and cipher, but by informing themselves on the lending topics >f the day, to improve their minds and broad n their ideas. Think of the many newspapers, hooks nd magazines, which are within tho roach f almost every one, and from which so much ntcrtaining and useful information could bo * htained, and we arc surprised to find thorn o littlo used, often do you find tho farmer ending nothing except his county pnpor, nd too often not even that. The man w ho claims inability as n reason or not tnkiug needed literature is certainly ot a progressive farmer. A prosperous farmer ought to take at least is county und some other good scoular iper, and his church paper; all of which ill hardly cost more than five dollars a year. The county paper, besides keoping you isted on the current news throughout your vn county, all legal procedures which may tneern you, will now and then refresh your ind with some new idea nbout agriculture, ock-raising, and perhaps other important ihjects. If you pay strict attention to your church Bckly, twelve months will hardly havo ipsod before you will have loarncd boiiioing about the origin, history and doctrine your own as well as other churches. You know precious little about such things w. It would he quite interesting to know w many farmers?Methodists, Baptists and eshyterians?could give the numerical cngth of their respective churches; and t these tilings come under their obscrvan daily. Your secular paper will give you ich information on almost every sub:t. Had you been a careful and thought Ail vd er you would have known something >ut trusts and corporations ; something >ut the cotton exchange, and that you In't get pay for the bagging and ties long ore the bagging question was first agied. f what the newspapers tell you is not extstive enough, or if you should like to omc well informed on the leading quosis which agitate tho world to-day, then i might add to your stock some good nthly magazine, viz: The Farm, or the rtfi American Review, or the Alliance nthly, and others; any one of which, ably The Farm, would amply repay for icy invested. !e it far from our intention to say this 11 the progressive farmer ought to read, it is bis privilege us well as duty to read ryfhing that tends to cultivate and novo. 1 man need not make of himself a*"bookmi in order to cultivate a taste for readAlmost every intelligent person iws that when the taste for good company ncc formed that it is never pleasant nor ceable to be among the base ami unrcd. Just so when the taste for gfiod readis formed; it never forsakes ns, but is r afterwards a source of infinite pleasure, well as the means by which our store of iwledge is increased, our ideas broadenod. [ our opinions formed without prejudice. II read good books whenever time 1 permit.
