There is not. perhaps, a more pleasant ly situated suburban institution in the Stute than Claflin University. The grounds arc abundautly shaded, the location high, aud the conveniences of railroad and telegraph right at hand. The buildings are amply large and quite imposing in their appearance, bo much so as always to attract the attention of travelers in passing through. During the year gone by u ucw building has been completed, to be used as a recita tion hall. It contains four spacious rooms, that will accommodate about two bundled students, and is now ready for occupuncy. The attendance is about two bundled, being somewhat less than in the winter, owing, doubtie.-s, to the fact that many of the students have to support them selves by working in the summer in nths. Many cases of self denial aud commend able j luck .'ire found among the students, who seem to be fi!l< d with a passion to get knowledge. No charge is made for tuition, the University being a free ono. and few -.d' them receive any assistance l'i um st rangers. The closing exercises, examinations, exhibitions, etc., took place yesterday and Tuesday. A largo number ol visitors, including the trustees of the University and the Agricultural College and Mochnnice' hi>titu*e. have arrived and ore arriving Among thom WC noticed 1 ii^h"p Huven, of the Methodist Kpiscp.il Church.

U Iiis morning chupel exercises wore begun ut 1) o'clock. The chapel bad been tastefully decorated by tho stu dents. Fcst00U8 of evergreens, inter twined with cape jcssuuiiuo blossoms, stretched from pillar to pillar4 and were beautifully set off by native moss aud peudent rings of choice flowers. He hind the platform and above, the desk w.?rc tusto'ully displayed the Words, iu evergreen: "1873, Claflin University Wc uro rising I" m Morning devotions were conducted by Bishop Haven. Tho examinations yesterday progrceE cd finely. Owing to tho limited tint given, the studonta could not be cxamin i d iu every branch taught; but it was apparent thut in those upon which they were exalnincd there had been labor and t-nrc put foith. The primary depart incut, under Miss Mary Bowman, was quite up to the mark. The collegiate department is under the charge of Pro fessor E A Webster, a graduate of Wesley an University of Connecticut, who is well qualified to discharge its exacting duties. He is assisted by Rev Mr Dunton, from the Syracuse Cuiver sity of New York. No better teachers, perhaps, can bo found iu the State Their department passed tho ordeal of a severe and scurciiiug examination iu a mnnucr creditublo to more pretentious institutions. The following wore onuounced as ' hoii'-r students," having received the highest number of marks in all tho depart ments combined; Jacob Kvuns, Lucy Almun, T Moses, Klbi Cooper, ThoinaB HobiiisoD, Albert Sinclair, Abraham \ 11 urn an 1 John Allen. At the dose of the examination the various prises, were distributed. Among I them was a largo family Bible, presented to Muster Jacob Kvuns, of Chesterfield, for general excellence iu scholarship. Addrestes were thea waJe to the '9 s students by Bishop Huven and Rov Dr Itust. Thu Bishop's remarks were very interesting and pleasing. He said that there were three things the enemies to the advancement of tho colored people bowed to. They were money, position and education, but most of nil education There was no reason why, in a few years, there should not be a demand from the North lor teachers and professors from among the colored people of the South. Everybody had heard of South Carolins, und he rememderod how often she was spoken of in the pieces he recited when a boy. Massachusetts and South Cam Una were generally linked together. It bad been said by a former President that it would be better for the country If they were sunk with a mill stone around their necks in mid ocean. South Carolina had had her ducking, had boon immersed, and came up puriGcd. The colored people, however, who have al ways done the hard labor for the State, had to put her back into tho Uuhjn. At 7 p m., a large audienceassembled in the chapel, to attend the exhibition given by- the students. The exorcises ', consisted of declamations, recitations and dialogues, interspersed with music. The music was under the leadership of Pro fessor C P Fox, nf your city, and in eluded a number of slave melodi?s, which were rendered with characteristic pathos. The recitation of flood's "One More Cufortuuato," by .Miss F.'.ia Cooper, of Columbia, was the erowuiug piece of the evening It'rs seldom that more foeliug is exhibited on thestngo There ital drew tears from many of the audience. | Mr Robinson V declamation was well delivered, as was the valedictory by Jnoob IS Vans, nf Mis Fisher's depart ?

( nion-Ilrruld, Poking Fun tit a Railroad. Mr. I)-writ s as follow* about the railroad between Richiu Mid and Petersburg: Rut about this railroad. Of oursel want it abolished, cvoiy one does. The reckless velocity with which the trains run between h re and Petersburg is absolutely frightful. I was delighted years ago when this road was establish ed, becau.-e I thought we bad got rid ol the old rickety und dangerously fast stueo coaches, but the speed they are be ginning to run tho trains on this road, is wor.-e yet. Now, every one knows that Petersburg is twenty-two miles from. Riehmond,if it is an inch, and a day aud a half is plenty quick enough for tho trip, but the managers have already reduced the schedule to one day, aud with m iking th icngino fires too hot, and racing with eoWS along the road, and all that, the conductors are oven cutting thut time down. Why, it wus only tho other day, on the home trip, vre happoued to spy old Jim's mule about two miles from Mau ehester. What should tho reckless wretch of nu engineer do but to ulap oo full atcam aud race every foot of tho way into town. We didn't exactly pass the mule, but we caught up with him twice, aud came to the Manchester cxossdoj neck and neck; nud which was puffing the must, the aiulo or the euginc, you couldn't have told to save your lifo. Now it was exciting and nil that, I know, but I hadn't purchased an accident ticket, und I don't believe the other four passengers had either. This is all wrong, Mr. Kditor, at! wrong. And then on another ocoision, I ro nietuber, we came within a hair's breadth of having a ve ry serious accident. The engineer had got off to snowball a chip munk, and the conductor was minding a young widow's baby for her?the result was that the train happened to get on a down grade and was started off at a torriffc rate, every bit of four miles an hour, I should think. We wore just half a mile above Chester, and the first thing we knew, there being no one to whistle and wake up the switchteu lor. we were turned off into tho Coalfield road, und went down the track at full speed. Imagine our consternation when just at this moment wo heuri the 'this tle, not hall'a utile ahead of us, of the up coal train. We were paralyzed with ?error?here were two trains on the same track, approaching each other at. thu dizzy speed juft mentioned. Evidently our time had Como. In n few short bourn the engines would meet, and thou ?destruction. With presence of mind, a minister on board organized a prayer tnce'ing. Pale but calm, tho doomed passengers eat, and with the very shadow of death upon them raiftd their voices in n part ing by in u. "Send lor th?' baggagc-tnnstcr," said a young man with a sad smile.

At this monicut a ray of hope dawned upon us.

A correspond ::t writes to the New York Times that there are two perform a neos nightly going on in that city "which should come wit hi.i the prohibi tory BUOpe of tho law." lie describes one : ' In one case a young girl is shot from a catapult into tho air for a dis tance of nearly thirty feet. She stands on the head of a monstrous engine, which shows just above tho stage, and in an instant is thrown into the air to a platform, the supports of which she grasps on reaching it. One can fancy what would happen if her nerve gave way for nu instant. Her limbs must be perfectly rigid when the blow com ?-. else, she would be either mangled or instantly killed : A a<i/ slight thing might cnuso loss of nerve?an alarm, a cry, tho fulling of anything behind the scenes, or the loastphysie.il weakness Nothing in all sho docs, belore or after, in ocrobatism, is us horribly dangerous." This feat is performed by a woman who calls her.-ell "Jiulu," and occurs during the new pantomime at Nibio's Garden. It is to all intents the same as young i.e.., the boy, was attempting wbtn he. wuh recently so severely injured at the Grand Central. The other case is described ns follows : "At another place atnan stands on one side 'of the stage with a blue wine glass on his head; another, on the opposite side, fires a rille ball and shat ters the glass to pieces. An apple, placed in the same position, is pierced by the marksman. A silver dollar held betwecu tho thumb and linger is shot away by the bull; and, finally, a silver dollar, bold upright in a bit of thin wood, is placed oil the head and ?hot aivav, the ba'l passing within an inch of the skull. The man who fires is a goo 1 ninrksiuau ; but laney what his compan ion's chance of lite would be if anything ?centre 1 to disturb him at the instant his aim was complete. It is too hazard ous, lie could use a lay figure to as good advantage, aud not risk life and limb." The simplicity of the com munication w riter is refreshing. Fancy a "lay figure" taking th - place in this act of dat ing of flesh and blood ! Why, the trick would lose all its interest. Not ten people would go to sec it. No, the dear public delight in danger, so long as it does not a fleet themselves. Nothing cllhrtus more than the sight of a (ellow creature perilling life and limb. County Subscriptions to Railroads. The .Supreme Court of Ohio rcndeieJ. a decision some time ago in which it pronounced unconstitutional a law of that State empowering communities to levy taxes tor the construction of rath roads. The grounds of this decision wete that such taxation was not for j ubdc purposes, for which alone taxes could be constitutionally levied, iuas much as the railroads belonged to pri vate stockholders, and were not pul lie highways. This Uccisiou has been ix tcnsively copied, and has been made a grenl deal ol by tho.se who are opposed t to the subscri] tiotifi to railroads proposed i by many of the counties in the upper , pail of this Stale. From tho New Vurk ! Ile.nild we get the following decision of i the Supremo Court of the United States j nn this very point, made at the recent j session of tin* court : The Supreme Court of tho United States has just deinered an imp rtant decision regarding the si tus of railroads as public highways. The case before the court was an appeal from the Supreme Court of Wiscoustn, and involved the question whether a State bad the right or net to levy taxes fur the purposo of aiding in the construe tioo of railroads. The opinion.of the court was that railroads are j ublic high ways, 00 matter whether they are built and operated by the State ir by private corporations. Doing sub then, th decision is that it is just as lawful to levy taxes for railroads as for other pub lic work, and that the collection of taxes for the purpose cannot be resisted 1?} authority of the Constitution of the United States, which provides that pri vale i r< petty shall nut bo taken fur pub lie us-, without just c >n>nciisatiou. Th ? importance ol this decision reaches much further than the railroad*, and State ul I Wisconsin. As public highways the railroads arc subject u ?t uiiIn i > State I supervision, but to supervision und con i tr ?I, as "ar as public interests uro invol ved, ol the. Federal Government. It is the application of the principle that wo have contcuded for when urging Con gross to legislate lor the protection of the public a.- against railroad monopoly and i x if ions Regarding the railroads as public highways, it is within the power of Cungress to cuitrol them, and tItisi power, if it need,d any additional support, ein bo fmnd in the Constitu tion, which authorizes the Federal Government to regulate commorce j among the several States, the railroad lines being the arteries of commerce be tween the States. The great issue uf Government control over the railroads j is looming up, and this decision of the Supremo Court will tend to infuse it in to it fresh vitality. A newly elected squire in LcVe City. Florida, having occasion to perform the ceremony for the first timo, got the aflair considerably mixed, aud wound up by saying "Suffer littlechildreu to cotno utito them ;" at which tho bride remarked, ' Thank you ; John let's go ; that's all we want." The old mur.iin that 'man proposes" is flatly contradicted by Massachusetts spinbtere, who only wifch he did. Lager Beer Docs Not Intoxicate. BY JOSHUA BILLINGS, ESQ. I have finally cum to tho conclusion that lager beer as :i beverage is not intoxicating. 1 have been toM bo by a Gorman who saiil he had drunk it all nitc long, just to try tho experiment, aud was obliged to go homo onfcirely sober in tho morn ing. 1 have soon this same man drink eighteen glosses, and il he was drunk he was drunk in Gorman and nobody could understand it. It is proper cnuiF to sitato that this man kept a lager beei saloon, and could have no object in stating what was not strictly thus. I believe him to tho full extent of my ability. I never drank but three glasses of lager in my li'o, and that made my bed outwist as tho it was hung on the end of a string, but 1 was tol l th it it was owing to my bile bcin out of place; and I guess that it was so, for I n .'vor bile 1 over wus than I did when i got hu n that nitc. My wife thot I was g nog to die, and 1 was afraid that I should, lor it seemed as tho everything 1 had ever eaten in my life was cummin to the surface: and 1 believe tint if- my wife hadn't pullo l oflf my boots 'just as sh; did, they would have cum thuudering too. Oh, how sick I wuzl 11 ycaw ago an 1 I can taste it now. ? I never had 'o much exporicn to in so short a time If any mar. shud tell mc that lager beer was not intoxicating, I shud bei eve him: but if he shud toll me that I wuzn't drunk that u'uo, but th it my stumick was out of orifer, T shud ask him to state over in a lew words, jist how a man felt and acted whtn ho was setup. U1 warui* drunk that nitc. I had .-uin ov the most natura! simt?ms that ; a man ever bad and kept sober. In the tir.-t place it was about SO roil-* j from where I drank tho lager boor to ' mi bouse, and I WUZ jest over two hours on tho road, and had a hJcbustcl 1 through each one ol my pantaloou neox, and didn't, have any Int. and trie 1 to I open the door by the hell pull an 1 hio ruppud awfully aud s.-.w everything in the r> o:n trying to gat round on the ! ba.k ov mo, and in sitting (own on a chaii. 1 did m t wait >ong enough for it to get exactly undor mc whoa it w?t ; going round, and i set down u little too soon and missed the chair about Iii in j ches, and couldn't get up so m enough I to takj the next one that conic alon g; 1 and that ain't awl; mi wife Bed L wus drunk as a beast, and, as I scd befo re. I began to spiu up things freely. If lager beer is not intoxicating it used mc most almighty oican; that I know. Still I hardly think that Inger beer \ is intoxicating, lor I have been toll so; j and 1 am pri bably the only man living I who ever drunk cuuy when hid liver w.i> ; not plumb. I '1 n't want to say cnuything against a harmless temperance beverage, but if evcr 1 drink enny moro, it will bp with j uii baud.- tied behind 'uc and mi mouth prie 1 oj en. j 1 don't think lag? r beer is intoxica ting, but if 1 remember rite, I think it tastes to mo like a gl ts? of s<> p ^uds, that a j ickle has been put tow soak in. , A Goat Story. A retired clergyman scuds us m ac count ot a little affair that liapp >ne I in his place. It appears that there was a young woman, a Quo-spirited girl, en gaged at a washtub, opposite an open door. Just bchiud hor was a young man. as is < ciicrally the case, au 1 in the yard was an old buck that was allowed the freedom <d tho premises, which is not always the ease, we are glad to say. Well, this buck came up to the door and looked in. and the young nan going close behind the young woman, pointed his finger straight to the buck, and the old fellow recognizing at once the press ing character of that mute invitation put down his bead and dashed forward, and the miserable mau stepped one side aud fled, aud the young woman, all uncou soious of the arrangements, received ?die awlul shock without warning, and pass ed over the tub, and tho air lor an inst ant appeured to he full of slippers and wet clothes and hot water ami suds. And the next minute th.it ;;iut o^iiit llymg out of that door at a dreadful speed, bald the whdb length of the Bpinc, and witli a wild look in his eye} And for an hour afterward he stood back of the barn, scratching bis chin, and frying to rccal all the cirounistances of the unfortunate affair?Danbury News. The Value of a Receipt. A case recently same liefere tTio Judge of.Probate in Milwaukee, which was more than usually iuterostiog and important. A certain gentleman, whose name we will not mention, died about five years ago. 'He left a considerable, though not extensive estate, which was not administered until certain parties filed claims against it, which would havo expired by limitation at the end of six yeais. Tho estate was brought into ci int. and the claims were taken up in regular order. They were quite numer ous, and embraced a large variety of interests, workinguien, trades peoploand professional men. Tho individual amounts of the claims, ranged from 815 up to ?5,000. ( The S?.t.oO claim was filed by a man who asserted that he had been interested in certain real estate transactions with, the deceased, that a considerable amount of nion. y v. as made, but that he (tho claimant7*bud not received h;s share. A uumb r of witnesses were sworn and a ? great deal of evidence was taken which went to substantiate thu validity of the c laim against the estate. It was gener ally known that the gentlemen had been associated together in real estate specu lations, au 1 that they hid made mon ey. Th 1 attorney.for the heirs, after bav in:; listened to all the evideucc that was brought to prove the claim, came for ward and produced a receipt, which, though n it for ?5,(M>0 ,was proved to bo a receipt in full lor the actual share of the claim int. This \vas a brief defence but it was effective. Of the other claims we will make no mention, as they were smaller and less important than the ono detailed. Suffice to say that of claims to the amount of $7,000 which were put forward, only S35 was allowed. The estate id the deceased was found to be in excellent order, be had receipts for all expenditures, and the property was sav ed to the burs. We have recited this case for the purpose of illustrating two things, viz; first, the advisabitiy, in fact the duty, which a man owci to his fami ly of taking a receipt for every ceot laid out, and SOCOndly, tue necessity for hav ing none but au honorable and upright judge, whose conscience is uot as a coin and w hose fidelity is a characteristic not Icis prominent than his ability. The Editor of tho Maeou Kutcrpri.se, we shoul 1 judge, d es his own thinking, and is generally about correct. Speak ing of the dull tim is, h j hits the nail square upon the bead in the following: The causes are easily explained! Al ni et the !u\t one of us have been living ! v nd our ioc racs since the war.
