At a recent meeting of tho Greenville Bar, Governor Perry being in the Chair, General W. K. Easley offered the following preamble and resolutions, which were unanimously adopted: The January Torin of the Court of Ses-1 sions and Common Pleas for Greenville | County, just ended, being tho first Term held by his Houor Judge Orr, sit^ce his ele? vation to the Bench, we, tho members of tho Greenville Bar-to give fitting expres? sion to our high appreciation of bis learning and judicial ability, ns well as our sonso of the urbanity with which he presides in his Court, and by his ltindness and courtesy gives relief to tho dull tedium of tho law adopt the following resolution: Resolved, That in the elevation of James L. Orr to tho Bench, tho State has acquired a most valuable servant, mid the Judiciary a bright ornament. -o DECREASE OV CHILDREN.-Not long ago Dr. Stover and others, in Massachusetts, in some comments upon tho singular fact that tho increase of children in that State is limited almost wholly to the foreign popu? lation, assigned the cause of it to tho com? monness of the crime of feticide. It now appears that Maine is following Massachu? setts in the decrease of the rising genera? tion. Mr. Warren Johnson, the State Su? perintendent of Common Schools, in Maine, reports to tho Legislature that theio is a decrease of 1G.G83 seliolars, between tho ages of four and twenty-ono years, from tho census of 18G8. Tho decreaso in tho past year bas been 3,182; tho deerense in 18G4 Was 4,111, and tho total decrease from tho maximum of 18G0 is nearly 20,1)00. Mr. Johnson very naturally considers this de? creaso alarming, but, an he cannot satisfac? torily account for it, ho proposes a series of inquiries, such as: "Ilavo we ceased to bo a producing people?" "Aro tho vital forces expended in brain labor and lost to physi? cal reproduction?" and, "Aro tho modern fashionable criminalities of infanticide and feticido creeping iuto our Stato commu? nity?" Coming from such a source, these I are questions of fearful import, relating as they do to tho populations of rural districts, where, there being greater abundance of tho means of subsistence and less temptation to cri mo than in largo cities, there is generally supposed to bo moro morality. JJA colored boy, named Morris Corbitt, iged 13 years, aud living in Kershaw, mur? dered an infant of 15 mouths, on Monday last, by striking it in the hoad several times with a spade. The murderer bas boen ar? rested. SHOCKING ACCIDENT.-A bombie accident occur red in the neighboring town of Fal? mouth, Me., Friday. A man named Swett was cutting trees, when tho axe glanced and buried itself in the body Of a lad named Marston, killing him almost instantly. I They were alone, and Swett was so horror struck that he went into convulsions. He was found writhing in the snow in that con? dition, and the dead.body of tho lad near by, the liver protruding from the mouth. It is feared that Swett will also dio from thc effects of tho shock. -o How THE INDIANS WILT, CSE CHANT'S MEDALLIONS.-The Louisville Courier-Jour? nal thinks that the medallions of General Grant, proposed to be gotton up at Govern? ment expense fos distribution among tho Indians, will be melted up by them and used for bullets to kill white men, or, it might be added, sohl to sutlers and sharpers for brass button: or other trinkets. The whole proposition is one of arrant flunkyism, dis? graceful if not dishonest. THE SUEZ CANAL.-Mr. Lange, the Eng? lish representative of the Suez Canal Com pauy, announces that tho canal will be "completed and open to thc geuernl naviga? tion of all countries on tho 1st of October, 1869." The width. Mr. Lange adds, will then be 100 metres (328 English feet) at the wator line, and 22 metres (74 English feet) at the bottom of tho canal, with a depth of 8 metres (2G Euglish feet.) -o The boots and shoes manufactured in Massachusetts during 1868 nre estimated to be worth $100,000,000. Tho whole number of cases shipped through Boston for the year were 1,019,444, a little over 100,000 cases more than those of any previous year and these goods were taken by about 1,600 different cities and towns outside of tho New England States. No MORE PUNISHMENT, HUMAN OR DIVINE. Tho Woman's Bights Convention, now in session at Washington, and composed in part of colored folks, have unanimously adopted the following resolution: ''Resolved, That all idea of punishment, both in human and divine government, should be done away with, as at war with the law of love. Tho present sj'stem of disci? pline in the family, tho school and thc pris.in, founded on this idea, is unworthy of civilization, to say nothing of Christi? anity.'' -o Moro than one-fifth of tho order of Jesuits ure now in the United States, and the mem? bers of other Catholic orders arc coming to this country in great numbers. Office of Udolpho Wolfe, Soi.K IMPORT, OK Tnn SCHIEDAM AROMATIC SCHNAITS 2'J BRAVER STREET, NEW YORK, Ni.V. :?. '(13. To the People of the Soti'hern State?. When thc pure modiciual restorative, now ?0 widely known aa Wolfu's SCHIEDAM SCHNAPPS, waa introduced into the world, under (lie endorse? ment ot 1 OOO leading member ? of tho medical pro? fession, -uni'.' twenty year? ago, its proprietor was well aware that it could not wholly escape tho penalty attached to new and useful preparations. Ho, therefore, endeavored to invest it with the strongest possible safeguard against counterfeit orH, and to render all attempts to pirate it difficult and dangerous. It was submitted to distinguish? ed chemists' for analysis, and pronounced by thom tho purest spirit ever manufactured. Its purity and properties having been thus ascertained, samples of tho aitioio were forwarded to 10,000 physcians, including all the leading practitioners in tho United States, for purposes of experiment. A circular, requesting a trial of the preparation and a report of the result, accompanied each specimen. -1,000 of tho most eminent medical mon in tho Union promptly responded. Their opinions of tho article wore unanimously favorable. Such a preparation, they said, had long been wanted by tho profession, aa no rclianco could ho placed on tho ordinary liquors of commerce; all of which wore moro or leas adulterated, and, therefore, unlit for medical purposes. Tho peculiar exccl lonco and strength of the oil of junipor, which formed ono of tho principal ingredients of tho Schnapps, together with an unalloyed character of tho alcoholic elomont, give it, in the estimation of tho faculty, a marked superiority over every other diffusive stimulant as a diuretic, tonic and restorative. These satisfactory credentials from professional mon of the highest rank were published in a condensed form, and enclosed with each buttle ot tho Schnapps, as ono of the guarantees of its genuineness. Other precautions against fraud wore also adopted; a patent was obtained for the article, tho label was copyrighted, &fac simile ot tho proprietor's autograph signature was attached to each labol and cover, his namo and that of the preparation were embossed on tho bottles, and the corks woro sealed with his private seal. No articlo had evor been sold in this country under tho namo of Schnapps prior to the introduction of Wolfe's Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps, in 1851; and tho label was deposited, as his trado mark, in tho United States District Court for tho Southern Dis? trict of New York dnring that year. It might bo supposed, oy persons unacquainted with tho daring character of the pirates who prey upon the reputation of honorable merchants, by vending deleterious trash under their name, that tho protections so carefully thrown around those Schnapps would have precluded the introductions and salo of counterfeits. They seem, however, only to have stimulated the rapacity of impostors. Tho trade mark of .tho proprietor has been stolen: tho endorsement which his Schiedam Aromatic Schnappa alono received from tho medical pro? fession has bcNiiclaimod by mendacious humbugs; bin labels an bottles have been imitated, his ad? vertisements paraphrased, his circulars copied, and, worse than all, dishonorable retailers, after disposing of tho genuine contents of his bottles, have lilied them up with common gin, the most deleterious of all liquors, and thus made his name anil brand a cover for poison. The public, the medical profession and tho sick, for whom the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps is prescribed as a remedy, aro equally interested with tho proprietor in the'detection and suppression tit theso nefarious practices. Tho genuine article, manufactured at tue establishment of the under? signed, in Schiedam, Holland, is distilled from a harley of tho tlnest quality, and flavored with an essential extract ol tho berry of tho Italian juniper, of unequalled purity. Hy a process un? known in tho preparation <>f any other liquor, it is freed from every acrimonious a::d corrosive cle? ment. Complaints have been received from tho leading physicians and families in tho Southern States, of the sale of cheap imitations of tho Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps in those markets; and travel? ers, who aro in tho habit of using it as au antidote to the baneful influeuco of unwholesome river water, testify that cheap gio, pat np in Schiedam bottles, is frequently palmed off upon the unwary. The agents of tho undersigned have been requested to institute inquiries Ou tho subject, and to for? ward to bim tho names of such parties as they may ascertain to bo engaged in the atrociona system of deception. In conclusion, the under? signed would say that he has produced, from under I the hands of the most distinguished men of science in America, proofs unanswerable nf tho purity and medicinal excellence of tho Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps; that ho has expended many thousand dollars in surrounding it with guarantees and safeguards, which ho designed should protect the pubho and himself against fraudulent imita? tions; that he has shown it to be the only liquor in the world that can bo uniformly depended upon as unadulturated; that he has challenged investi? gation, analysis, comparison, and experiment in all its forms; and from every ot deal the prepa? ration which bears his name, seal and trade mark, has come off triumphant. He, therelore, feels it a duty he owes to his fellow-citizens generally, to tho medical profession and the sick, to denounce and expose the Charlatans who counter foi I these evidences of identity, and he calls upon the prest and thc public to aid him in his efforts to renjedy so great an ovil. The following letters and certificates, from th? leading physicians and chemists of this city, wil provo to the reader that all goods sold by thc undersigned ?re all thev ar? represented to be.

A lately suspended Western insurance company has $9.000,000 at risk, $10,500 I unpaid losses, and $1,100 assets.
