Walter Sassard, a nine-year old son of Mrs. Amanda Sassard, met with a most Sainfal accident in this city on lost Mon ay about 12 o'clock. He was sitting on the floor of the piazza at his home amusing himself by popping matches on an old rusty worn-out pistol. While thus engaged, the occupants of the house were startled by the report of a pistol and the screams of the little fellow. His mother ran to him and was horrified to find that he had been shot, the ball hav? ing entered his left side, near the tenth rib. Dr. J. O. Wiihite was immediately summoned. He probed for the ball, Which was of a 22-calibre size, but could not find it, and its exact location is not yet known. The old pistol had been among Walter's play-things for BOine time, and no one knew that it con? tained a load. Wednesday, morning the little fellow was doing very well, and though he is not yet out of danger, the physicians arc hopeful of his recovery. On last Thursday afternoon Buy Iis Wil? liams, a colored boy, was accidentally shot and killed on the plantation of Mr. W.B.Watson, about three miles North of the city. Coroner Nance held an in? quest over the deceased on Friday morn? ing. From the testimony it seems that Baylis Williams, in company with his brother, Frederick Williams, and John T. McClellan, a white boy, together with two or three other children, were out hunting. McClellan had a shot gun with him. Becoming tired of bunting, they sat down on the ground in the shade and were playing mumble-peg, when Freder? ick Williams picked up McCleilan's gun and was examining it. McClellan,*in a playful manner, attempted to take his gun away from Williams, and in the scuffle that ensued the gun was discharged, the whole load entering the stomach of Bay? lis Williams, killing him almost instant? ly. . The verdict of the Coroner's jury was in accordance with these facts. Speaking of the Citadel Academy, the Charleston News and Courier says :?."There are seventeen vacancies in the list of ben? eficiary Cadets to be tilled by next Octo? ber.

Applicants for these positions must apply to Lieut. E. M. Weaver, commanding Citadel at Charleston, for proper blanks on whioh to make application, and then forward the same to Gen.

The County Normal is a success?a grand success. Prof. W. S. Morrison, the principal, gets about his work with theeaso and dignity of an experienced and progressive teacher. Miss Fannie C. McCants, a teacher in the graded schools of Columbia, has charge of the language lessons, history and geography. By her earnest, unassuming manner,' she' has already evidently won the hearts of all her teacher-pupils. Dr. Lander, well known to the citizens of Anderson County as a live, progressive teacher, has charge of arithmetic, and never fails to interest and instruct his pupils and the spectators when he takes the floor. The teacher ! pupils express themselves as delighted j with the instructors and their methods of ! instructing. The exorcises become more j and more interesting at each succeeding [ session. Twenty minutes are allowed for I general discussion after each recitation. ! One very attractive feature of the In? stitute is the discussion by the instructors and teachers of the questions found in tbo question box. Tho discussions aro humorous, practical and impressive. Miss McCants has a class of ten or twelve little boys and girls whom she in? structs in writing and geography. Thus she not only tells the teachers how to teach, but actually shows them how to in? struct a class. The exercise is delightfully interesting to the spectators, and, if we may judge from the sparkling eyes of the children, it must be charming to them. If there is a teacher in the County who is tugging away at his school this week, let him, if he should happen to read these lines before the end of the week, drop his books, dismiss his school at once and come to the Normal if he can only remain one hour. In our humble judg? ment, if we are competent to judge, this week's training of the teachers will bo worth more to the children and to the educational interests of the Couuty than all the teaching that has been done in it for the last twelve months. We look upon this Normal as the most telling step forward that has ever been taken in An? derson County in the interest of the pub? lic schools. We congratulate our inde? fatigable School Commissioner, and do: not wonder at tbo extra broad smile that now lights up bis usually cheerful face. The following is a list of the teachers ?resent at the opening exercises of the formal. This large attendance is ex? tremely gratifying to the School Commis? sioner who has been very anxious about the matter. He has for several weoks been urging upon the teachers the impor? tance of attending the exercises of the first Normal held in tho County. We rejoico with him and congratulate the patrons of the public schools upon the success of tho Commissioner's eirorts to improve tho teachers und through them greatly benefit the children.

Reed. | A Startling Development. Tho Greenville Neva of Sunday morning contains the following account of recent arrests in that town for counterfeiting, which will greatly surprise our readers, many of whom are acquainted with the defendants, and will anxiously await the result of the investigation into the truth of the charges made. The News says: The tranquil town of Williamston, eighteen miles below here, is now in a condition of excitement not equalled since the famous elopement that disturbed its serenity several years ago, and everybody is discussing the arrests made from this city on Friday evening. It has been whispered around for some time that somebody m Williamston was engaged in making and circulating coun? terfeit money, and there are now a num? ber of peoplo who claim to have known all about it. From statements made by citizens of Williamston there has been a surprising degree of publicity in the mat? ter and the only wonder is that the official descent has not been made before. In consequence of information received Deputy Marshal K. A. Dickson went to Williamston on Thursday, and with very little difficulty obtained material for a case against J. J. Cooley and A. J. Bun-att. . Both the men are prominent in the com? munity* They are wardens of the town and Cooley is acting intendant in the absence of that officer. Surratt is a shoe? maker and has apparently made a very fair living by his trade. Cooley is a far? mer and has a cotton gin and is the owner of a considerable property. Mr. Dickson returned here and obtained a warrant from TJ. S. Commissioner Hey? ward, and he and Deputy Marsbai H. F. Williams went down on Friday. They failed to find either Cooley or Surratt at home, the former having gone to mill, while the other had come to this city. In the, evening, however, Cooley was found lying on a bench in the town park watching a game of base hall, and was immediately arrested. Soon alter Surratt was captured as he rode into town on his return. The prisoners were brought here that night and lodged in jail a 1 o'clock. Yesterday. the officers returned to Wil liamston and captured what they claim is a complete outht of counterfeiting tools; including a galvanic battery. These things were found in a loft over Surratt's shoe shop and were brought here to be used in evidence. Cooley on yesterday gave ball in the ' sum of $1,000 for his appearance for trial, and was released. He is well connected and it is said, could have given $25,000 bail if it bad been required. The officers claim that they have a clear cane and.can establish the fact that the prisoners have been making counterfeit dollar pieces on scientific principles and have had them extensively circulated. One of them is said to have had a very decided talent for chemistry and to have used it in the business. Both the prison? ers are reticent and declined making any statement. The Greenville News of Tuesday gives the llowing additional particulars : The cases of A. J. Surratt and J. J. Cooley, the citizens of Williamston charg? ed with counterfeiting coins of the United States were heard before Commissioner Hawthorne on yesterday. George West? moreland appeared for Mr. Surratt and Col. W. H. P^rry for Mr. Cooley. The only important evidence presented was S'ven by Messrs. Greer, Burgiss and odges and a colored man named Jerry Seewright. It showed very clearly that the defendants had been trying experi? ments in imitating silver dollars, and had made some of the imitations and some imitation nickels, and had some rough and crude implements apparently design? ed for use in that way. It Yfosproved that several scraps of metal with holes the size of the dollar, and others boariug part of the impress of the same uoin had been found in Surratt's shop, and Seew right testified that on going there early one morning he found a pile of new nickels on Surratt's work bench. A galvanic battery and a vise of strange and unusual s^ape were also found, with a number of bottles of chemicals including- nitrate of silver, quicksilver and cynide of potas sum. There was no evidence of any attempt to pass the counterfeits. The commissioner decided to bail the prisoners in the sum of $>I,000 each^Pfje" of Mr. Cooley's bondsmen^a^?j^j for released but asubsj^i^y^ wmproba ^1im\v^?TO^Hay. Both the prisoners 3Xrnfi ed to make any statement in advance of their trial except a general denial of guilt. From the questions asked the witnesses c i cross examination, however, it was evident that it will be claimed for the defence that the galvanic battery was one obtained by Mr. Surratt for the pur? pose of plating some worn brass watches and that others of the chemicals wero for the same purpose. The Y. M. C. A. and Its Work. Hon. H. G. Scudday, as General Secre? tary of the Y. M. C. A., has concluded his tour of tho State and is again settled down at home. He hns mot with a very cordial reception at every town and city visited throughout the Stato, and has suc? ceeded in organizing many new Associa? tions and reviving old ones. Tho State work could not have been placed in more efficient hands than his, as lie is familiar with every detail of the work of the As? sociation. The real objects of tho Y. M. C. A. havo never before been properly presented to the people of the State, and Mr. Scudday's efforts will doubtless give a new impetus to the work of Associa? tions in everv town and city whore such an organization exists. We h?be he will now give his attention to Anderson, and see if he can't revive tho Association hero. We had an Association in Anderson fur several years, but its work was simply confined to a prayer meeting in Temper? ance Hall every Sunday afternoon* As might be expected, this alone did not at? tract the attention and interest of our boys and young men, and consequently the Association went down. Of course, the main object of the Association is to bring young men to Christ, but it must not be expected that this can be done only through the weekly prayer meet? ings. There are numbers of young men and boys who never attend a prayer meet? ing, therefore they can not bo reached. It 13 this class specially, then, that the Association seeks to interest. To do this, the social, mental and physical welfare of these young men and boys must first bo looked after. By doing this you soon get them interested in the organization, and the way is opened for successful Christian effort in their behalf, and they will soon be brought into the Church. The Y. M, C. A. is a stepping stone to the Church, as has been demonstrated throughout this broad land of ours. It is an organization not of any particular denomination, but of the Church evangelical, and therefore should enlist the co-operation and encour? agement of every Christian. There are many ways in which tho As? sociation could do good work in Ander? son. Go on our streets after business hours and see how numbers of our young men and boys 6pend their time. They should be looked after. It is tho duty of parents to fostor and encourage any or? ganization that will tend to improve the [ moral and mental, as well as the spiritual, welfare of their boys. The Y. M. C. A will do this. If tho work of the Associa? tion is properly brought to the attention of our poople. we bclievo they will take hold of it. We hope a meeting will be arranged in this city at an early day, and Mr. Scudday be requested to present the practical workings of the Association to our people. His familiarity with tho work will no douhl enablo him lo present somo plan by which an Association may be established here on a pormanent basis. An Eml to noun Scraping:. Edward Shephord, of Ilarrisburg, III., sayj : "Having received so niuch bouefit from Electric Bitters, I feel it my duty to lot suffering humanity know it. Havo had a running sore on my log for eight years ; my doctors told me I would havo to have tho bone scraped or leg amputated. I used instead three bottles of Electric Bitters and sovon boxes Buckleu's Arnica Salve, and my log is sound and well." Electric Bitters arc sold at fifty cents a bottle, and Bucklon's Arnica Salvo at 25c. per box by Hill Bros. Normal Concert.

The fruit and vegetables I used it with arc j now in a perfect state of preservation with natural taste and smell.

Mesbrh. Hill Bros.?Gentlemen: The American Fruit Preserving Powder and Liquid I bought from you last year, is all that you recommended it to be. We used it on peaches, apples and vegetables, and they are preserved perfectly without un? pleasant taste or smell, and we have used them from the day they were put up with? out any damage. I heartily recommend it as a perfect preservative of all kinds of fruit and vegetables. Respectfully, D. A. Elrod.
