quest met and began the examination. Susan Lake was released. I was ordered by the court to bring Stephen Lake, (then in jail) ' "until the further order of this court," before the court to testify. I immediately sent my deputy for him. The inquest adjourned until Wednesday morning, when the examination was re commenced, Stephen Lake having arrived in the meantime. Another man, Jim Cheatham, I believe, was arrested, examined and released. Ou Wednesday, about half-past 2 o'clock, or 3 P. M., the court ordered the prisoners, eight in number, to be brought forward. It was done. The verdict of the coroner's jury was read, (which, as I remember, found that John L. Harmon and his wife had come to death by the hands of Stephen Lake, Austin Da*" vis, alias Sam Perrin, Marshall Perrin, Jeff Settles, Jesse Lake and Larkin Holloway, and that Tilda Holloway and Bettie Perrin were accessories.) The trial justice, acting as coroner, asked me to take charge of the prisoners and convey them to jail, handing me a commitment. I examined the commitment, and observed that the names of the two women, Tilda Holloway and Bettie Perrin, were omitted. I handed the commitment to the justice, and asked that he insert their names if I was to carry them. Just at that moment I was blindfolded and pulled back very forcibly out of the crowd (there being about two hundred or two hundred and fifty persons standing in a circle around the jury) and ordered to "follow me" and to "follow him," in very coarse language. As this was done, I heard the click of three or four pistols. I was pulled and dragged up stairs in the former dwelling house of Mr. Harmon. In about ten minutes I heard the firing of numerous guns. I suppose about one hundred and fifty or two hundred shots in short succession. I was then locked up and told to await the return of the party who left me. I immediately got out of the window on the shed, and into the window of another room, and down stairs, and went out of the back ^ door, got on my horse and left. I did not recognize the voice of the gentlemen with me. * .? L .1 ? .? .1 .1 x inins mere were iwo oiner geuueuieu just outside the door all the time that I was in the room. I got about a mile from the place, when my deputy overtook me, and said that after I was carried away, he was approached and a gun presented at him, and the prisoners demanded by parties who were strangers to him, and that he quietly as possible stepped aside, and that the prisoners, except the two women, were taken off. He then took charge of the women, and when ready to start to jail he had discovered that he had no commitment for Tilda and Bettie, the two women, and that the coroner had gone. I then instructed him that I had no right to detain them any longer in my custody. From there I went to the upper portion of the county on some official business and returned to day. I have seen newspaper reports that the women have been found drowned, but this report I do not credit. I have heard responsible parties from the neighborhood say that it was untrue. Yours very respectfully, Jas. A. Richardson, Sheriff Edgfield County. - Correspondence of the Yorkville Enqnirer. LETTER FROM ROCK HILL. Rock Hill, S. C., June 5,1876. The past week was unattended with any material event to the community. Only a few farmers made their appearance upon our streets. They are evidently busy, trying to prevent the grass from getting the better of the cotton crop. Harvesting has just begun. Report says the crop is fully as good as was predicted. The yield of oats will give the farmers no excuse for not raising horses and mules. More attention should be paid to the stock. It is shamefully neglected, while nothing pays better than stock-raising and thegrowiog-of small grain. With very little expense, the pasture lands could be made the most profitable of any. The monotony of our town was somewhat relieved by the arrest of one Henry F. Weebs, who claims_ to have been born and raised in Norfolk, Va. Soon after he arrived in town, it came to the knowledge of the Trial Justice that he was the man who had broken open a colored man's house near Fort Mill, three weeks before, while the colored man was at work in a field. Either from a love of pilfering or a real necessity, the said Weebs helped himself to all the respectable-looking clothing?for male and female wear?in the house, and a single-barrel shot gun. The matter was carefully investigated by the Justice. The colored man who had purchased the gun and the clothing identified Weebs as the man from whom he had bought them ; although Weebs insisted that he had never 6een the colored man before. The gun and the clothing were identified as the same takeu from the house of the colored man as above stated. Weebs seems to be a roaming kind of character. He made his way from Fort Mill down to opposite the "Indian Nation," where he crossed the Catawba river and took up his abode with the Indians, remaining with them until he came to this place and met with the above mentioned misfortune. From what I can learn about him, he is a native JNorth Carolinian, and a gambler by profession, sportive in his nature and will not confine himself to the truth. He told a great many tales, quite conflicting, with reference to himself. After all the facts of the case were adduced, the Trial Justice found them sufficient to warrant him in binding the accused over to the Circuit Court for trial, and in default of bail, he was committed to jail. Another case of minor importance was before his Honor. One James Watsou, alias Thoraasson, feeling somewhat hungry, crept stealthily into the pantry of Mr. J. A. Williford, opened the provision safe, and was helping himself, when he was discovered by W's. clerk. A warrant was issued for his arrest. He resisted, and even assaulted the officer. His base was heard and disposed of in the following manner: Being arraigned he of course pleaded not guilty. The testimony ? was then fully taken, which went clearly to convict him, and such was the finding of the jury. The Court sentenced him to pay a fine of $20 and costs, or go to jail twenty days. He now reposes in jail, in default of payment of costs and fiue. | On the night of the 1st instant, the houses r of Messrs. M. W. Russell and J. J. Roach were entered by some unknown parties. The entrance to Mr. Russell's house was effected by means of a barrel standing near the window. The thief crept into the bed-room and gathered up the wearing apparel of Mr. R. that he had taken off that night on retiring to bed. Fortunately, he had but little money in his pockets and but few papers of any value. The rogue entered Mr. Roach's bed room through a widow leading from the piazza. Mr. Roach's wearing: apparel was taken from a chair on which he, too, had placed it on going to bed that night. There has as yet been no trace of the rogue or the stolen articles. A shocking affair took place at Col. Cad. Jones' place, on Saturday night last, between BertEawards, Nathans Edwards, colored, and Henry Conner, Butler Conner and Jim Conner. Col. Jones had ordered Bert to take the wagon and haul some hay. Jim Conner demanded a horse from the wagon. Bert refused, out of which grew a fight between them. This occurred in the afternoon. The fight ended, Bert went to his work and Conner back to his house. At this time all his brothers were in Rock Hill. When they returned, they were told by Jim of the fight between him and Bert that afternoon. Thereupon, all three of the Conner boys, Jim, Henry and Butler, went to Bert's house, knocked at the door, did not wait to be admitted, but burst the door open, caught Bert by the throat, who, however, managed to get loose and ran to Col. Jones'house for protection. Nathan Edwards, a brother of Bert, interfered in Bert's behalf, when the three Conner# all jumped upon Nathan. Henry Conner fired four shots at Nathau with his revolver, only one of which took effect?in the side; but did not penetrate the peritoneum. The ball passed around in front of the bowels and lodged on the opposite side. Dr. J. W. Fewell cut the ball out on Sunday morning. The wound is not dangerous. Butler Conner also shot Nathan with a shot gun, a few shot entering his head. Warrants have been issued for the apprehension of the parties. Mr. W. P. Russell has published a card, denying the facts as stated by your correspondent I repeat them, not as my version, but as substantial facts. It is immaterial whether Mr. Russell or his attorney effected the compromise. It was made upon the very terms I stated. The Building Committee for the Presbyterian Church paid Mr. Russell 8100 cash and 8900 on the 1st of June, making the 81,000. Mr. Russell agreed to take that amount and pay the cost of the action, all of which, I presume, he has done, and the Committee hold his receipt for the amount. Mr. Russell's card is a lame defense. Because he was simply chagrined by the compromise and attending circumstances, he need not try to shield himself behind the acts of his attorney in the matter and say that he was sur " J Ln ammaaJ AllA.lltklnn t II ! eu. x t5t lie agiccu iu cvcijiuiug done in the premises. Yesterday morning dawned with the heavens tilled with dark and threatening clouds. Notwithstanding the inclement weather, long before the hour for preaching had arrived, a goodly number of people -assembled at the Church, for it will be remembered it was the first Sunday in June?the day appointed for the dedication of the new Methodist Church edifice. The hour for preaching arrived ; the clouds had gathered and thickened into a most terrific storm of thunder, lightning and rain, which lasted but a short while. Dr. E. J. Meynardie, the officiating minister, for the dedication occasion, entered the church edifice accompanied by the pastor; the choir sang that good and appropriate hymn, "Antioch," and the eminent divine having ascended the- pulpit, commenced the services with the text?" Worship Godbeing a portion of the tenth verse of the nineteenth chap ter of Revelations. He spoke in a beautiful and impressive manner of the Oriental devotion to idolatry, contrasting it with the worship of God in the present day. Services ended, the pastor and trustees were handed the key?a sacred trust?which they were admonished to keep inviolate. The house now stands the consecrated temple of the Lord. Lux. + ? ? m Sir John Franklin.?History possesses few examples of more heroic bearing and selfsacrificing efforts for the advancement of the material interests of mankind than that exhibited by this noble martyr in his exertions to make a discovery which if accomplished would open to the world advantages beyond computation. But how insignificant are geographical discoveries, when compared with those that benefit the human organization, showing how in this life enemies may be van quished, how the brain may be invigorated and rendered capableof grasping the most ab struse questions, whether scientific, commercial or mechanical. This can never be the case while the body is enfeebled by disease. The blood must be healthy, all machinery of body must be in perfect working order, otherwise the brain is weak and total incompetency to grasp the great issues of life is the result Such a discovery has been made by Dr. Tutt in his celebrated Liver Pills. They have accomplished more good to the human family than could ever have been attained by the success of Sir John Franklin. Headache, Languor and Melancholy generally spring from a Disordered Stomach, Costiveuess, or a Torpid Liver. Each may readily be removed by Dr. D. Jayne's Sanative Pills, a few doses of which will be found to stimulate the Liver and Stomach to healthy action, remove all biliousness, and produce regular evacuations of the bowels. jVr- , . . ?m?T7?r ? .

June 8 23 2t A Flower that Changes its Color. Botany is a division of natural science which treats of plants, and a study of vegetable pbisiology must be the foundation of botanical knowledge?a study only possible by theimprovements in the microscope and in organic chemistry. As plants are not scattered haphazard over the earth, botanical geography must be studied, and, with this, plant history. Botany may be applied in the wantsof every day life, as in agriculture, horticulture, or medical botany. Animals often exhibit a marvelous instinct in selecting medicinal herbs, and an observation of their habits has often, even in the present time, led to most valuable discoveries. And should man, with his knowledge and appliances, fail to discover less than the brute? It is of medical botany we would speak, or of the UVPlTTVP Pl.i VT <1 worivoroil in Southern Nubia, the flower of which changes its color with every change of the atmosphere. The remarkable changes and variations of this plant and flower have been for years our special study, resulting in the discovery of its possessiou of wonderful, medical properties, the existence and value of which have heretofore been unknown to medical science. After much labor and scientific investigation, we have succeeded in extracting its peculiar medicinal principles, which is a specific and cure for all diseases of the Liver, Stomach and Bowels; a permanent cure for Dyspepsia, Spleen, Indigestion, Constipation, Jaundice, and all Bilious Complaints. Of course we cannot send a j living flower of this plant to all who read of Hepj atine; butall who send their address to Mkkrki.l I & Couden, Philadelphia, Pa., with a three-cent j stamp for return postage, we will send free a facsimile of the flower, that will change its color just ' the same as the real Hopatine Flower. The med' icine, Mkrrell's Hepatine, is for sale b\' JOHN C. KUYKENDAL, Yorkville, S. C., and will cure all diseases of the Liver. May 18 20 tf OBITUARY.
