C., Ap'il 30th, 1880, Mrs. Rose Butler Ford, relict of the late Frederick A. Ford, Esq., Mrs. Rose Butler Ford was born in Charleston, on the 9th of January, 1806, and consequently was in the eiglity-first year of lier age. She was the grand daughter of tlie Hon. Wil liam Henry Drayton, first Chief Jus tice of South Carolina,and a member of the Colonial Congress in 1778 aud 1779,and was the last surviVingchild of John Drayton, Governor of this State in 1800 aud again in 1808. She had been an invalid for more than thirty years aud during tho greater portion of that time had m:ide Aiken her home. For sixty-two years she had been an earnest, humble professor of religion, having at the early age of 18 connected herself with tlie Protestant Episcopal Church. Her life was one of many trials, out her singularly lovely, patient, Christian character, enabled her to bear all her crosses with a forbearance and fortitude that furnishes a striking example! of a de voutly spiritual life. As she lived, so she died, strong in the hope “that when this mortal must puton immor tality,” she would sink to rest in the arms of her Saviour, whom she loved with all her heart, and Upon whom she trusted with a faith th^t knew no limitations. She leaves a family of sons, daugh ters and grandchildren, aud a large circle of relatives and friends to mourn her loss and emulate her many Christian virtues. The funeral services were performed cn Saturday, May 1st, at St. Thaddeus Epfctfnmi Church before a congrega- tionnTsymputhiziag friends, and her body was laid to re*: id the cemetary of the Church. Though the annual celebration of the Deutschen Schuetzeu Gesehschaft has long since, we believe, become synonymovs with unbounded pleas ure and open-hearted welcome to everyone, still R gives us pleasure to address words of welcome to you to-day. To say that we would it ’.eed be unhappy without our guests is not too strong an expression for the generosi ty and sociability of our jolly German friends. Man is naturally a social be ing, lie is happy only when among his followmeu; surround him if you will with all the comforts and luxuries of life, yet deprive him of his asso ciates and he is miserable j you deprive genius of its individuality, thought of its ubiquity. This is fuily exemplified in the character of tlie German citi zen, who, like Old King Cole, calls for his pipe, his glass and his fiddlers, j and bins the world lie merry witii j him. Wherever you find them, there j will be found their places of pleas ure and amusement, aloof from their places of business, aside frqmthe busy world without, here you find every amusement calculated to elevate the noble instincts of man. The presence of our lovely women and blushing maidens imbues in the breast of every gallant knight that determination to coin the honors of (tie occasion, and lay a crown at the feetpf hjs lady. It is indeed an appropriate season for such an occasion as tills. All na- fcire clothed in her garb of spring seems to vie with us in our pleasures. The young man whose “fancy light ly turns to thoughts of love,” will n*i doubt find here to-day tlie cherished object of his heart. No doubt the heart of many a little maiden will throb to-day as never before. No doubt that many a gay Latlmrio will be crushed forever irreparable. We place our hands over our hearts and welcome the “Schow Madehens” of the fountain city from our sister State. To tlie maids from tlie “City by the Sea.” whose presence always lends an air of grace and loveliness to the surroundings, whose niellifiuent tones could melt the heart of stone— we say thrice welcome. To the gallant Knights whose white plumes mark the numerous victories over fallen toes, and competitors, we readily extend the sheathed saber without a contest. All that is necessary to be said about tho ball is that it was as usual a triumphant success. The attendance was large, the music splendid tlie or der perfect. Our German friends are particularly proud of their splendid annual balls, which are patronized by the best ele ments of the community,and we verily believe they can stand almost any disappointment occasioned by bid weather or adverse circumstances, if the ball, the culminating point Of the j beauty meet festivities only terminates in a grand - were, conspired to render it a success. The crowd was rather a select one. As the picnic was gotten up in honor of Miss M. E- Hanna, of Jasper, Fla., who is here with her aunt, Mrs. Jessie Y. Foreman, of Sleepy Hollow. The site selected was the Simpkins Mill, ithe property of that worthy geutle- I men, Mr, Chaclie'Siinpkins. of Beech i Island, who with his estimable lady, ! added much to the enjoyment of the day.

To all our friends here to-da\*, from whatever county. State or clime; we bid you join us in our revelry. To our Northern friends in our midst we extend open hands and open iiearts;. we meet you no longer as strangers in a strange land, the long cherished dove the messenger of peace lias long since returned, we have received the olive branch, and there is not a hand here to-day which would rise to desecrate it, there is no longer dis cord between Greek and Greek. We meet here to-day around the flowing bowl and festive board, not as Ger mans, Frenchmen, Englishmen nor Irishmen, not as Northerners or Southerners! we meet a united brotherhood, a folksfest whose com mon Fatherland is the one we love and live in. The Switzer song is of liis mountain home, tiie Caledonian sighs for his native highlands; the Italian dreams of his beautiful sun set, tlie German lives iu the memory of his faderland, but on occasions like tilts while the' genial German drinks his beer, the Frenchman his wine, the American his whiskey straight, all thoughts of distant lands are dispelled, this one common gros ser faderiand, w«.- live and drink to to day as one people under home rule and honest government.

Here you may trip it on tlie light fantastic, yonder you may drown all sorrow in the flowing bowl, no evil hand shall rise ro mar pleasure. “Wie wissen sie wolil.” • At the conclusion of the address, a substantial collation was spread in the shouting gaffery, which was par taken of with evident appreciation by ad the invited guests.

Well were we repaid for our trou ble, f >r we notcnly saw the “Old Lady Goosa,” but some exquisite tableaux. A gipsy scene, calist-iieuic exercises, a fine glee by six little boys, and sev eral splendid recitations; the whole closing with a comic dialogue To say tlie performance was a splendid success, would tie but faint praise, for considering the ages of the children, (it is a juvenile troup.) it was simply wonderful, reflecting great credit both upon the children and lady managers. Unfortunately the audience was very small, though liig’nly appreciative, as tlie frequent and loud applause testi- ded, but its failure ns a pecuniary suc cess, was sorely regretted by the man agers, as they had in view a pleasant surprise for the Baptist citizens of Graniteville in tlie way of a donation toward rebuilding their church which was burned last month.
