S, Wil liams, of Moneta, a crate of fine peaches, by all odds the best we have seen this year. He writes that he has already shipped to market about 1000 crates, which shows the great advan tage the farmers on the Ridge have in having a crop of peaches when the crop elsewhere has been killed by the frost Typographical Errors in Strange Places. All the editions of the Bible, with a few noted exceptions have usually been considered typographically per fect. yet in an edition published in Edinburgh in 1769, we find an error in the word “spirit” in 8t. Luke, 4-18— an s being substituted for the first i. The London Times also boasts of its strict typographical accuracy, yet in the edition of July 3d errors may be fo.ind on page 9 in the word “special” in the third column, and in "niedita- Hones” in the sixth column. Judgement against theS. C. Hallway. In the United States Circuit court on Monday a decision was filed by Judge Simon ton in favor of the Lack awanna Coal and Iron Company vs. the South Carolina Railway. The suit was brought for the balance of $35,000 due the plaintifl for steel rails phased before the railroad went in- snds of a receiver. The court laintifts have a lien for to the lien of the h is held prin- ot prior to ^ vill be Yesterday Mr. Delevau Yates re ported to the Coroner that some boys, out hunting rabbits had come across a dead body partially buried, iu a thicket opposite the Turnbull house, between Messrs. Yates’ and Sommer’s place. A jury of inquest w r as sum moned at once, and went to the spot to investigate. The body was found to be that of a negro boy apparently about 10 or 12 years of age, very much decomposed, wearing only a striped shirt, and pi*t into a jute sack. It had been buried, but partially disin terred by the dogs. None of the ne groes iu the vicinity professed to know anything about the case, but it was learned that one of them had a son of about 11 years of age whom he was in the habit ef beating. I his boy wore a f.triped shirt, and about two months ago disappeared, and his father said had runaway. The ques tion now is whether this is the body of that boy? The jury came into town in the afternoon, and was as sembled in the Town Hall taking evi dence when we went to press, so we are unable to give any further details regarding the matter. The editor of the Charleston “Daily Sun’, Spent last Sunday in Aiken after his return to the city, some of his friends were remarking on his being so tanned, one accounted for it, by visits to the Is land, but another explaine it, entirely to the satisfaction of them all, saying that it was due to the fact that he worked on “The Sun.” Don’t storm the system as you would a fort.

The sub-treasury is a two-edged sword. The wheat raisers do not want to pay any more than they now pay for cotton, and the cotton raisers do not want to paj over the present price for wheat.

A commanding officer of a promi nent British regiment having request ed a drill sergeant to ascertain the re ligious views of some new recruits, the latter were paraded and the ser geant cried out: “Fall in!

We are glad to be able to announce that definite steps have been taken to establish a sanitarium or cottage hos pital in Aiken, especially intended for the aid of those invalids in indi gent circumstances elsewhere, who are in sore need of a climate like that of Aiken, but are unable to enjoy it on account of their poverty. The de sign of the promoters of this charity is to aid these persons, and also to furnish to others, who are able to pay full prices, all the comforts of nursing, &c., that are to be had in a well con ducted sanitarium. The cause being one wholly of charity, devoid of all selfishness has appealed to some of the charitably disposed persons who are acquainted with tl^ advantages of Aiken, and appreciate the need of sueh an institution here—in conse quence a visitor has purchased the vacant lot on the East $ide of Green ville street, between Edgefield Avenues, of by 150 feet, and has ve St. Thaddeus Church i some corporate, perpet responsible for the ins work. The conditions'of the gift be ing that the property shall be used for hospital purposes, and be undenomi national in every respect; the object and line of management of the insti tution shall be distinctly, and solely for the relief of suffering, and no one’s creed shall be asked. In addition to the lot^of land we are glad to learn that $210 have been al ready raised towards paying for the building. Of course dullng the pres ent summer months it i|.not expected that much can he donelSut it is not thought that there will I v e any diffi culty in raising the n^easary funds next winter, as this is 'a cause that appeals to all charitablej persons.

Mr and Mrs Loren Trescott are keepers of the Gov Lighthouse at Sand Beach, Mich, and are blessed with a daughter, four years old. Last April she was taken down with mea sles, followed with a dreadful cough and turning into a fever. Doctors at home and at Detroit treated her, but in vain; she grew worse rapidly, un til she was a mere “handful of bones.” Then she tried Dr. King’s New Dis covery, and after the use of two and a half bottles, was completely cured. They say Dr King’s New Discovery is worth its weight in gold, yet you may S et a trial bottle free at W. J. Platt’s rugstore. Judgment has been given in the Loudon Court in the action brought in the interest of Mrs. Maybrick against a life insurance association to recov’er $10,000 insurance upon her husband’s life. The court decided that as Mrs. Maybrick had murdered her husband she could not recover the amount for which his life was insured. It is now said on good au thority that Mrs. Maybrick will de mand a new trial in the civil courts on the ground that the insurance com pany iu which her husband’s life was insured must produce proof that she murdered him; as according to English law conviction is not proof between other parties, but only be tween the prosecution and the prison er. The trial is expected to occur in November. It was for this same new trial that Judge Richard H. Clarke of Atlanta, Ga., has been working, as it is expected that new evidence will be presented, that may change the re sult. The Rev. Sam Small, the evange-. list, has decided to return to journal ism. He came to Atlanta recently where he was cordially received bv his old friends, who pressed him to resume his citizenship here. A fund was at once raised for the establish ment of a daily afternoon paper, to be known as the Atlanta Herald, of which Small has accepted the man aging editorship. The Hon. G. D. Tillman has been invited to deliver an address on the occasion of the pic-uic to be held at St. Matthew’s, Orangeburg County, on the 31st instant, iu the interest of the new county of Calhoun.

The man who invented pills, especial ly those of the sugar-coated sort, de serves the gratitude of mankind; for, if we must swallow physic at all, the smaller and more agreeable the dose is made the better. But, we presume, the first ingenious pill-roller must continue to remain in obscurity among the great Notice: FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS will be paid in ten years, .and each ten years thereafter, to every one who takes a policy on the 30 year In stalment Endowment plan for $1,000 in the Washington Life Insurance. Co. of New York. And that is not all! Thu accu mulated dividends in each ten years amount to from about $150 to $200—or in 20 years to from $500 to $700, and will be paid at each period as agreed. This surely is an equitable REWARD to those who are far-sighted enough to take advantage of this form of insu rance. The Washington’s promises are all guaranteed on the face of the policy in the shape of a definite contract, which anyone can read ami under stand.
