Death. Robt. McCaughrin, the son of R. L. McCaughrin, aged l years and 5 months, died on Friday morning last, of malarial fever, and on Sunday the family were again called upon to mourn the death of the youngest mem ber, Laura,an infant,eight months old. This afflictive dispensation of Provi dence is a severe trial, and can only be borne by a supreme trust in the wisdom of God, and an assurance that the Savior's love for children is great and infinite ; his injunction to -uXTer them to come to Him must h- taken without murmur. Of such is the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who have been called npon to taste of this bitter cup can appreciate the depth of this family's woe, but we bid them not to doubt the loving wisdom of God, who doeth all things well. Our sin cerest sympathy is extended to them. Miss Anna Eliza Whitman died of consumption on the 1Gth ult. in the G7th year of her age.

H. b: Blease to go with him to Helena to ar- la rest one Wash Carwile, colored, for d( breach of the peace. Mr. Blease had a warrant for his arrest. While watch- 31 ing Carwile's house Mr. Singleton G heard a noise, and thinking that per- w haps it was the accused, under the el house, he stooped down to look for ci him, when the pistol, which he held b< cocked, was accidentally discharged, cl the ball entering his (Singleton's) leg in about two inches above the knee, and tr ranging down in the calf of the leg, of making only a flesh wound, but a very tI painful one. Mr. Blease called on our tc good friend Zobel for his wagon and tl horse to carry the wounded man home. a le responded promptly, as he always n, does when called upon for favors. st Drs. MeIntosh and Gilder probed d for the ball, but did not succeed in ex- 'T tracting it. They say that there is no p danger of its making a stiff leg.

Yes,Humpty Dumpty, Tony Denier's world renowned show will favor this community with one of its side-split tinig, but to n-bursting, as well as flesh crawling and hair-raising entertain ments. Our people are not as favored as those of Charleston andColuinbia where Humnpty Dumpty appears at least once a season, and therefore this occasion will be more enjoyed, and Miss Sophia Ravel the Columbine, Miss Marietta Myers. the wire-walker,whose feats are .aid to be startlingly entrancing, Sig nor Eugene Bevillo, the magician, bewilderingly wonderful.

Humpty Dumpty on the wall. Humpty Dumpty had a fall, and, but there is no use in finishing the quotation. The Chaileston Sunday Kews says: : The Academy of Music has rarely held a larger and more dlelighted audience than the one that filled it yesterday afternoon. The house was densely p)acked and the oddities and comicali ties of Humpty Dumpty never before, I perhaps, elicited such uproarious ap plause as came from the small f' y ofa Charleston on that occasion. The pantomime is excellent and the spe-t cialty part of the performance far above the average. Tony Denier closed his engagement last night to :another fair house.

Hicks, colored, of Newberry, is a member of the Execui tive Committee from this, Third, Dis tict. Postmaster Taft of Charleston and his friends bolted from the convention. C From the long and Interesting accounts ~ in the Charleston and Columbia dai lies it was a noisy, wrangling, howl ing, disgusting and disgraceful mob of I ring-tailed an9 striped belligerents,un- I worthy the name o: even a radicalcon- y vention. It is stated that Tiaft and his friends will bring the matter of an- t: other State Convention up at an early a date.b The Register says : Not a man whose p name is upon the Republican State a ticket will be found willing or able to y enter the contest. Corbin will decline 5 as soon as he gets the chance; Stol- fi brand holds a Federal office; Melton i i4 United States District Attorney; h. Macoy don't want to be on a ticket t] put up simply to be knocked down; C the State Committee are opposed to a t Stafe ticket, and about the last of it lI will be its nomination. The whole ticket was preparedl by Deas, and he did it simply to facilitate business. t1 There was a faction of "obstruction- tl lsts" who wanted a State ticket, and c le gave them one, to appease their e wrath, just as children are coaied iitlil CaA.' Beautiful Celebration. Sunday night last the Centenary lebration of the Juvenile and Wo an's Missionary Societies was held in e Methodist Church. The audience as large, every part of the building -ing taken up. The chancel was oc pied by beautiful young girls, twelve number, with variously colored ban ars, bearing the names of the nations ho have come under the effulgent ht of the gospel, the front seats were led with the young disciples who ve enlisted in the work of missions, hile the adult members used the >ace to the right. The bright lights, e banners. and the sparkling eyes of ie boys and girls, made up a scene well orth observing. The Rev. J. A. Clif on, at whose right and left sat theRev's roaddus and McClintock, annonne 1 the programme, which consisted an appropriate song by the children, ading of the Missionary Psalm and a issionary Hymn, followed by the ard's Prayer in concert. The prettiest feature was the appeals ade by the little girls bearing the tuners ; the appeals and answers, the tter by Miss Sallie Wright, were ren red in a clear and effective manner. Watchmen and Traveller" by Wm. cFall and Jesse Clifton, and "the vpsy Boy", by Master Robt Moorman ere well (lone. Master Eugene Gren er's calling of the roll was very efni ently and pleasantly done, and each >y. and girl as his or her name was lled quickly and gracefully respond g with a scripture verse and the con ibution of a nickle. The importance this part of the programme kept e little fellows alive and awake to the work of holding part to two ings-their nickels and their verses, d they came out bravely, dropping either the one or the other until they epped up and delivered the verse and ropped their nickles in the basket. his was followed by reading of re )rts and the answering of Centenary uestions. An appropriate address by ev. Broaddus and Prayer by Rev. eclintock closed the interesting ser ees. The President of the society, I-. erbert, and the lady membert are ititled to much praise for the hand me manner in which the programme as arranged and carried out. he Newberry Cotton Factory will Soon be in Motion. Since the day the big wheel of New erry's Cotton Factory was made to row that it could go round, and was ot simply erected as an ornament, c-the Senior-have not been per itted by reason of bad health to visit ie scene of the operation which af )rded such gratification then. We ave regretted this more than once,for *e like to keep up with Newberry's Llvancements, and all of her works f internal improvement, and too ecause the Factory is no small thing; n the contrary it is a very large, and nportant thing. Aside from the pro ts which the stockholders reasonably ope to realize from its working, our boughts turn to the hundreds of in ustrious men and women and chil ren who can find no occupatiou, no cork for their willing hands to do. lready are many of this class given a lace in the picture, and have been >und something to do, for which they eceive honest and fair wages; and by lIe middle or close of November hun reds will be earning their bread by he sweat of their brow, and with rages in their pockets, will feel the nportance and the independence rhich money imparts. This money @0, will not only give them the means f getting what they want, but will ind its way into the drawers of the aerehant. Every class of society will e benefitted. We too expect to rea ize of this floating expenditure. ~Iany of the operatives will feel the recessity of having the news as given o them by the papers of the to'.n ; ye expect therefore to realize ir. this. )ur visit on this occasion was a pleas nt one, and much information wvas ad fronm superintendent Holbrook, rho politely showed us over the build ag. Our readers being already ap-. rised of the salient points of interest is hardly necessary for us to repeat rhat we have heard. It but remains ow to fix and adjust the machines, nd get them in redness for the day on dich the looms, carding machines, pinners and shooters, slashes, and >icket s will be set to work. The water nd fire apparatus are of the comn iletest kind. WVe were pleased to be hown how comnplete are the appli nces in this respect.

Working Effectively in the Ranks. The correspondent of the News an< Courier, in his glowing account of thi first gun of the campaign at Picken: on the 23rd ult., says that lon. Georg< Johnstone delivered a logical and of fective address. His chief points wer that the Republican party was one o intense sectional ideas, a party of sel fish interests and one disposed to sub ject one section of the country to th domination of the other. He investi gated the causes which prevented coalition of political sentiment an aptly and eloquently compared th condition of the Rep:blican party o the Union now to that of the Republi can party of South Carolina while un der Radical rule. le showed how i had degenerated into a party of repu diation. He dwelt on the question o the donation of the public domain t, corporations and monopolists wht again sell thenm to the people fror whom it was stolen. He then wen into the personal history of Blaine an held him up as a man, self-convicte and absolutely unworthy of the publi confidence he courted. This was evi dent. he said, to a large proportion c the Republican party itself. Mr. Johnstone's remarks were hear with the earnest attention they do served and produced an evident effee 'rhe correspondent in his account < the meeting at Walhalla on the 25t1 says : The Hon. George .Tohnston< although not on the list of the speal ers for the day, was loudly called i by the meeting, and in response di livered a short but stirring address. i which he incorporated a scathing a raignment of Blaine and pointed 01 the endeavor made by the Republict in their National platform to revi% the principles of the Know-Nothin party. At the Anderson meeting on tl 26th~ Mr. Johnstone announced tU nomination by the Republicans of full State ticket. lHe said he coul hardly realize it as a fact that it wi intended seriously to surrender tI State at this day into the hands< such a crew. lHe said that the propi sition they had made could only hal but one effect, and that was to aroun the people all over the State to a knos ledge of their danger, and to incil them to look that danger squarelyi the face. lie then very appropriate1 recalled certain chapters in the histor of the State p)revious to 1876, and sa that at this late day the scenes< those dark days could better be in agined than described. With the o] portunity and text oflfered Mr. Johl stone made a ri-iging speech in lay< of the maintenance of the preset government and stamping out of e: istence the infa.nous ticket nominate by the Republicans. D. H. Maff'ett Heard From Again. A Washington letter to the Per Indiana, Republican, and an editori in that paper upon the letter, furni, some rich, rare and racy news of character well kne-wn in Newberr; The letter furnisher. text for the sa editorial. After n-~ .arking that ti Republican party, no ong other thing had placed the sword~ of p)ower- ini ti negro's hand and t old him to usei it adds.that the party made a mistal "in too hasty a reconstruction of t] late rebel States. Troops should hay been mnaintainel! in the South until ti people were wi ling to obey the lay but since they hasve been withdraw~ and the States turned over to thme civ authorities there is no alternative le to the colored voter but to become familiar with the use of fir~carms the ruffians who domineer over hi and give them ams good as they send. Such Is the inc. ndiary language of ti Repubh'can, whose words proclaimi editor to be either a negro withi whose breast ra nkles an undying h tred for the Sonthern white man, or cowardly Yankee outlaw who h never smelt powder. The letter say: "Waking.out to-Jay in quest of polit cal news I met D. Hi. Mafi'ett, the a gressive and active younw Republict from South Carolina."
