Mr. Turnbull owns a half interest in the invention, he having furnished the funds to ob tain the patent right and develop, the invention. By the use ofHhis switch it is claimed that no train can run off the track, whether the switch be left open or not. As many serious a<^:i- dents have happened from o]>cn switches, if the invention proves all that it is claimed to be, it will be a great boom to the travelling public, and there ought to be a fortune in it for Messrs. Ford & Turnbull. Mr. James L. Heriot, has returned from Glenn Spring,s with health im proved, and commenced work yester day as a salesman for Mr. F. B.

C., has purchased the farm of Mr. W. W. Parrott, containing about 270 acres situated about three miles from Aiken. This farm is on the edge of the Levels and contains some excel lent land. Dr. Mood will move to Aiken in about two mouths time to reside permanently on his purchase. He proposes not only to farm, but to prac tice Ids profession, which will be a great acquisition to the prosperous farmers of the Levels, as lie is an ac complished physician of lo;ig experi ence and a most estimable gentleman. Such additions to the citizenship of our County, we hail with pleasure be cause they are strengthing to society from every point of view. A game of base-hall was played last Thursdays veiling at the grounds near the Schofield School, between an amateur club from Augusta and a picked nine In Aiken the latter were assisted by Messrs.

Rhoden was a married woman and her act is said to have been prompted by jealousy. After the killing she hid herself from the authorities hut on Thursday even ing she came to Aiken and sunend- ored to the sberiif, and is now in jail. A Candidate for Holy Orders.

On the 20th of September he will be ordained by Bishop Howe as a Minister ofthe Pro testant Episcopal Church, at Rock Hill, South Carolina, after which he will return to this County, where lie will be employed in mission work, the congregation at Graniteville being one his charges.

Nancy says, “these reporters are blamed fools for making the crop larger than the stalks will hold,” Amen to that. Nancy and Betsey are just doting on you for writing such good editorial* lately. Nancy says, “the young men are not as good, or as brave, or as willing to defend our God given rights as the young were when she and Betsey were girls. ” These old Ladies liked your “ obituary ” of two weeks ago, and say you owed it to the children of to-day ami those of twenty years to come, for then there will be none of the old “rebels” left to tell them. I notice the churches all over the country are solicited to contribute towards building a monument to Gen. Grant. Let me tell you, he has built one for himself in South Caro lina, which will last longer than any they can build out of marble, so notb- iug from me. Betsey says “Sherman has built one for himself-—reaching from Atlanta to North Carolina, and then smoked it to make it last, and it is going to do it so far as she is con cerned, for lie burned everything she had in this conflagration and she is not going to give one cent towards his marble monument either,” so don’t let any of us ^fivc for any of their monuments, for religion does not re quire it of us. To satisfy Betsej and Nancy I will ask you some questions, which may be of great benefit to “Coon Land” some day. Has the law for selling spiritous liquors in Aiken County been repealed or modified to accom modate this section? If no change has been made, is it not an injustice to our county, to deprive her of this revenue? and at the same time more and meaner is being sold and at double the price. I* “tonic” when bought by the barrel and drank ly the quart and half-gallon, a medicine or a heavy dose of beverage and free from license? What is the duty of onr Revenue Collector under a Den - dp-atic Anministration ? I hate to appear troublesome and hope you you will not consider me so. But when an editor can’t out run a loco motive, I feel it to be bis duty to give his readers all the information he can. Tommy Clifton. ally will be added.

Arthur Buist, pastor, which will probably last until Thurs day or Friday next. Mr. Buist will be assisted by the Rev. Lucius Cuth- bert, who preached on Saturday last, and is expected to preach every day this week. This is a now congregation which was formed eight or ten months ago, and lias been worshipping at Cow ard’s school-house some two and a half miles from Aiken. The building will hold about one hundred and fifty, a^d is crowded be yond its capacity every time service is held. So pleased are the member ship with the ministrations of their gifted pastor, the Rev. Arthur Buist, that all arrangements have been made for the erection of a church thirty feet wide by fifty feet long, in a beau- ful grove near the school-house. The lumber is ready and the build ing will commence as soon as the present meeting is concluded. On Sunday morning last, through the kind attention of our esteemed friend, Mr. T. W. Coward, who sent in a comfortable buggy and fine horse, driven by Ids son Tom to carry us out, we enjoyed the double pleasure of meeting our old friends and neigh bors, and at the same time hearing an eloquent sermon from tiieir devot ed pastor. The services in the morn ing were exceedingly interesting, characterized .by genuine protestaut simplicity, and while their was a total absence of any morbid excitement it was pleasurable to observe the deep seated religious interest manifested by young and old. We observed that a large number of young men and young ladies attend thischurch, many of whom came forward at the conclu sion of the sermon to give their hand to the pastor as a token that they are seekers of religion. From what we saw, we are induced to believe, that this meeting will re sult in many accessions to tlie church from those who are in the spring time of manhood and womanhood. This augurs well for the futuie of the church and of the community. In the afternoon wc attended the Sunday-school, which is a flourish ing institution under the siiperinten- dency of Mr. 1). H.
