The News and Courier, of Monday, in referring to the quarterly elections for officers in the Literary Societies of tho Citadel Academy, say3: "The Polytechnic Society elected Cadet Wade C.

At the conclusion of the debate the judges retired, but after being out a shoxt while they reported, through Mr, Quattlebaum, that they were unable to agree, but, as Juries so often do, they would return a mistrial- This seemed to satisfy all parties. There were two declaimers, Cadet Geo. Baker and McCants, each of whom acquitted himself with credit. Last week we chronicled the death of Mr. Harrison Holland, which occurred on the 25th ult., and now it is our sad duty to note the death of his younger brother, Mr. Brown Holland, who died last Saturday afternoon at the home of Mr. A. A. Carpenter, in Broadaway Township. He had attended the bedside of his brother very closely during his ill? ness, and on Sunday after the latter was laid away in the grave, he was stricken down with pneumonia, which gradually grew worse until death came.

The School Commissioner is in receipt of a communication from the President of Converse College, located at Spartanburg, S. C, offering a free scholarship to one young lady of tbis County, said scholar? ship to be awarded upon a competitive examination held by the Commissioner on Saturday, 7th of June. The scholar? ship covers the entire expense of one year's tuition in the College, $G0, and the appli? cant must not be under thirteen years of age. The following is the hcope of exami? nation : 1. Mathematics, including only arith? metic and algebra to equations or the sec? ond degree. 2. English Grammar. 3. United States History. 4. Geography (Universal.) 5.

The Latin examination may bo omit? ted, provided the applicant wishes to pur? sue the English and scientific course in? stead of the classical course in Converse College, and euch omission will not be reckoned in the standard of the examina? tion as detrimental. This College has just been completed at a cost of $50,000, and is thoroughly equip? ped in every department. The scholar? ship is worth striving for. Hon. E. B. Murray, of Anderson, has been elected a member of the Board of Visitors. Helton Items. With half of our bead split off, and the other half continuously disturbed by in? ternal commotions a little less violent than the afflictions of Mt. Vesuvius, we have almost decided that *La Grippe" overdid the thing when she meant to touch us up to a lively movement. Notwith? standing the hard dealing with us, which, however, enlisted the sympathy of our good neighbors, responding to the slight? est iutimation of needed assistance, we are perfectly willing to let the contest stop right here. We have serious doubts about surviving another such attack, even with that fearless and faithful fighter, Dr. Todd, by our side. Last Saturday the little folks of our family were pleasantly warned of the com? ing of Easter Sunday by a surprise gift of some beautiful Easter eggs from Miss Mattie Brown. Along with this appreci? ated present came a splendid loaf of bread, just what the convalescent ones most needed and desired. We are very much, indebted to Mrs. Brown for her kindness and thoughtfulness. Mrs. T. Y. Williams, who has been spending several months with her pa? rents, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Poore, has fully regained her health and returned to her home at Lancaster. Her many old friends were saddened at her going away. The directors of the Oil Mill Company decided, last Saturday, to locate the mill on a lot between the residences of A. R Campbell and A. C. Latimer. Work on the building will be next in order, and will be pressed forward with zeal. Miss Bessie Agnew, one of Greenville's finest dress-makers, is in Belton for n few weeks, and will give special attention to orders sent in. She is of the best, besides a most excellent young lady, and can please the most fastidious. Any desiring work had better not delay if they wish early attention. Cadet J. B. King was suddenly called to his home near Piedmont by a telegram announcing the accidental killing of Wal? ter King, a relative. Mis? Jeff. McPall, of Greenville, is vis? iting her sister, Mrs. Sr. Harris. Mrs. Amanda Johnson, of Lowndesville, is visiting her daughter, Mrs. E. T. Kemp. Sergt. M. E. Geer has been suffering from the effects of "la grippe." Mr. B. A. Wilson has recovered from recent severe illness, and is again at his post in the ticket and telegraph office. Dr. Cbas. Manly preached for us Sun? day. It was our misfortune to be too far off. "La grippa" hadn't let go then. Kappa. Holland's Store Items. Mrs. Elizabeth Adams, wife of Isaac Adams, died on Sunday, the 3rd of March. She was about sixty years old, a member of the Presbyterian Church at Good Hope, and a good woman. She leaves a hus? band and one sonto mourn her departure. Rev. M. McGee preached at Sbiloh on the 30th nit., to an appreciative congrega? tion. He was pastor of this Church ten successive years "in the past," and his visits are always a Bource of pleasure to his many friends in this community. The health of our community is very good. We have some scattering cases of measles and grippe. The latter disease is mostly confined to the colored population. Our good friend, W. W. Gillespie, who has been spending the past month with relatives in Franklin County, Ga., has re? turned. Mr. A. E. Sanders had a little two-year old daughter to accidentally fall in the fire some weeks ago and get right severely burned. Mr. C. A. Glenn has been quite Bick for the past week or so, but but we are glad to say is improving. Our faimers are getting on better than some neighborhoods we have noticed. Corn is pretty well all planted, "the early planting is coming up," guano is all in the ground, the middles are being run out and, as a general thing, we are about as well advanced as we could desire. Mr. G. S. Williford, one of Rock Mill's most thorough-going farmers, "we learn" planted six acres of cotton on Saturday, the 29th ult. Miss Minnie Burriss, of Anderson, is visiting in this vicinity at present. Thos. J. Holland had a good cow to die recently. Mr. Parker has his traps in position at Hardscrabble now, and is capturing the finny tribe right along. W. B. Crow has erected a shop at his residence, and is prepared to do all kinds of plantation work, on short notice, in the way of blacksmithing and repairing. He has on exhibition several ojtton planters "of his own get up," which he thinks will fill the bill. We bespeak for him a liberal patronage. Burke Facts from, Iva. That Spring wiis ushered in on Easter with all the signs of a prolonged stay. Our farmers are not unprepared for it, but are ready, willing and waiting for the first proof of the permanency of Spring weather in order to commence planting cotton?most of the corn having been planted, That your correspondent has found a strange phenomenon in the shape of a pine tree. This tree stands in the center of a newly cleared field, is about GO feet high and is almost or quite dead. The bark on the Northern Bide has been punc? tured into an indefinite number of small hol?s, making it have the appearance of a porous plaster, from the ground to the branches, a distance of 40 feet. These holes are not found on the Southern half of the tree. The most plausible theory yet advanced is that it was done last sum? mer by birds in search of insects that had sought refuge frqrn the sun's. rayB by col? lecting op, the Northern side of the tree. Has any one a different explanation to offer? That the catastrophe that happened to Dr. Cook's batch of-canaries through the agency of a cat bent on the destruction of the youthful songsters was an offense, an adequate punishment for which could barely be inflicted with the cat-o nine tails. He has sworn eternal enmity against the entire feline race, and has, already begun to wage a v^ar of extermi? nation, and would be grateful to enlist a good number of volunteers. We respond with alacrity. Will not others aid in such a peace-resulting cause ? That the next step to be taken in order to securo the continue! and Folid growth of our village is to have it incorporated. Tnis would empower the citizens to lay out and have executed new streets or other improvements ; to have removed or disinfected any cause tending to impair the health fulness of the place; to punish those who should disturb the peace and quietude of tbe residents, . nd other ad? vantages too numerous to nu*.tiou. Vi LLAOER. Corner Dots. Miss Ida Beaty and Mrs. Ella Roid have been visiting relativos in this section for the last few days. Mr. Jas. Roberts, a drummer and hun? ter of Williamston, who is canvassing this County for a rug machine company, was out on a dear hunt last week. He didn't find them very plentiful. One of our old bachelors went to see a young lady the other day and stayed rather late that night, and an old hen, I tempted by some corn, got in his buggy and devoured the corn and decided to roost under his seat. Our friend came home that night and threw a sheet over his buggy and was surprised the next Sunday to find a dead hen in his buggy. Pubr. In Memory of Rev. A. P. Nicholson. The following preamble and resolutions were passed by the "Ladies' Working So? ciety" of Midway Church, on the death of their zealous pastor, Rev. A. P. Nichol? son, who organized the Society about six months ago: Whereas, it has pleased our Heavenly Father to remove from our midst and from eaith our Beloved pastor and friend, Rev. A. P. Nicholson, who by bis untir? ing energy and zeal in promoting Christ's kingdom, has won our admiration and esteem ; and. whereas, the dispensations of Providence are mysterious and past finding out?however, we know that all things of Cod are for. the best for those who trust in Him, and that our loss is his gain, therefore we humbly submit, realizing that he has gone to receive the plaudit, "Well done, good apd faithful servant, enter thou into tbe joy of thy Lord."

The Terrible Disaster at Louis? ville.?Frank Leslie's Rhistrated Newspaper this week presents six pages illustrative of. the disaster at Louisville, Ky. The pictures are full of interest. Another striking feature of the paper is an edito? rial contribution from ex-Senator T. C. Platt on the recent Tammany exposures, and embodying a statement as to why he opposed the control of the World's Fair by politicians in that body. Another contribution, on the Eastern Question, is from the pen of Lieutenant C. A. L. Tot ten, Professor of Military Science and Tactics at Yale University. There is the usual number of other fine illustrations. Obituary. Miss Ruth Cannon died 16th March, at sundown, and was buried at Shady Grove Church on Tuesday, 18th, Dr. Lander conducting the funeral services. She was 21 years of age on Tuesday previous to her death. We trust she is in tbe "home of many mansions," as she said, "persons ought not to dread death; that God was only taking them to another home, where love, greater than an earthly parent, was there, like a father kindly enfolding you in His arms." She bore patiently all pain. Measles caused cold to settle on her lungs, and soon our precious one had to give up life. May we be enabled to meet her when death comes. She had selected the Presby? terian Church, and had hope in death. Parents. Happy Hooslers. Wm. Timmon8, Postmaster of Idaville, Ind., writes: "ElectricBitters has done more for me than all other medicines com? bined, for that bad feeling arising from Kidney and Liver trouble." John Leslie, farmer and stockman, of same place says : "Find Electric Bitters to be the best Kidney and Liver medicine, made me feel like a new man." J. W. Gardner, hardware merchant, same town says : Electric Bitters is just the thing for a man who is all run down and don't care whether he lives or dies; be found new strength, good appetite and felt just like he had a new lease on life.

He told her she was a hope? less victim of consumption and that no medicine could cure her. Her druggist suggested Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption ; she bought a bottle and to her delight she found herself benefitted from first dose.
