False Weights and Measures. On last Friday uipon aflidavit of H H. Franklin, Jonni Donohue was ar rested upon a wvarrant issued by .Justic< Girardeau, charging him with using false wveights and mleasuires in his mner cantile business ini Newberry. Th4 p)articular charge is that he ulsedl a perl measure that had a false bottomi in and was not a full p)eek nmeasulreune the laws of the State.

The Newberry College has had a very prosperous session so far this year. The enrollment and average attend ance has been larger than for many years. At the last session of the South Caro lina Lutheran Syno'd, action was taken looking to the putting of a financial agent in the field. Rev. J. A. Sligh was elected as such agent. The object was to increase the endowment an1 to raise money ($5,0'0) to build two houses on the college campus for the professors. Mr. Sligh declined the agency. Some time ago President Holland addressed a circular letter to the churches in the State with a view to raising money for these houses with out the agent. The Cbarles:ou Conference, or the Lutherans in Charleston, have p'edged the money for one of these houses, and we suppose it will be built at an early date. There is little doubt that money for the erection of the other house will be forthcoming. The Newberry College does not make much noise about itswork but in a quiet way is doing a grand work for the education or the young men of the State. We feel a deep interest in this insti tution and are glad to note this evi dence of appreciation on the rart of the Lutheran church in its work. A Good Cause. The Ladies Society of the Presb,yterian church, has arranged for a series of entertainments, to assist in raising imoney for church purposes. These entertainments will consist of vocal and instrumental music, readings, recitations, &c. It is intended also to make these oc casions social re-unions, and therefore the regular programme will be of such a length as will allow ample time for conversation and social intercourse among those who attend. The first of the series of entertain ments will take place at the residence of Mrs. Fannie Baxter, on Friday, Jan uary 31st. at 7: 30 p. In. Admission 25 ets. Children 10 ets. The public cordially invited to attend. Quick Relief. Those who have hacking coughs, or colds, or croup, etc., can secure quick relief and speedy recovery by using Pelham's Pectoral Syrup. This famous medicine costs only 25c. a bottle, but is worth its weight in gold. It has not been tried for the Grip or Influenza, :ut should the dreaded disease become epidemic in Newberry, we are assured t nat no medicine will relieve so prompt Iy. Everybody uses it. Everybody praises is. Very pleasant to take. tf Mr. Harry H. Samuels. The particulars of the sad and tragic death of Mr. Harry H. Samuels in Thomasville, Ga., are published ia an other column. Mr. Samuels and his family had been residents of New berry for several years. In fact, he married Miss Annie Foot, of our town, and lived here until about two weeks ago when the family moved to Atlanta, Ga. The family has many friends in New berry who were pained at the news of the death of Mr. Samuels. What could have induced Mr. Samuels to take his own life is a miys tery. He had a happy and interesting family and was devoted to them. It was our pleasnre to have seen a good deal of 3Mr. Samuels during his residence in Newberry and of his family, and we feel sure his marriage was a most pleas. anit and happy one. He was a genial and pleasant gentleman and had a host of friends in New berry. The desperate deed must have been committed in a moment of mental derangement. It was only a short time ago that he went to a heavy expense to have the remains of his mother disinterred be cause the lot in which she was buried was adjoining one in which was buried a suicide. We are informed that he had his life well insured. Whatever the cause that led to the awful step which ended life, the deed is done, and with sad heart we tendei our sympathy to the bereaved family and remember the deceased as last wt saw him, the happy father, the loving~ and affectionate husband.

On Tuesday news was received in] Newberry of an accident to Conductor Tr. B. Greneker. The following in re gard to it is taken from the News and Courier : EDGEFIELD, January 20.--Capt.] Thomas B. Greneker, of the Carolina, Cumberland Gap and Chicago Road, was thrown from his train this morn ing while in motion, receiving painful though not serious or dangerious in juries. The brakes of the rear coach becoming unmanageable, he leaned forward on the platform with his face from the engine to ascertain what the trouble was, when he was struck on the back of the head by a switch, with the above result. His father Mr. R. H. Geeneker left on Tuesday afternoon for Aiken.

The >laintiff was nonsuited on1 the grounds hat the papers in the case were issued md served on the first day of January, t being a legal holiday. We have al vays understood that legal holidays vere simpllly o ff days for all public of icers and offices, and not days in vhich all processes, contracts, agret nients, con veyanlces, etc., etc., were ini raidated by being "miade and (done" >n a legal holiday. A great manny lolltracts, agreemlen ts, notes, convey Lnces, etc., date on the first day of ranuary'. N ow if all such transactions ire illegal, the people should know it, tnd know it right quti,ekly too. It is t important question, ar3' one on ,hich a great mtany thi ",s hinge. Sowv be it understood that we are not inding falt with Justice or with Coun ~el in this ease, but we do want to see 1e law clearly about this legal holiday >)iniess. Whlat is its scope and force? WVe are disposed to think tbat the same aw wvhich nonsuited this case, would iot senid a negro to jail for violating a :ontract made on the first day of Jan lary or the 22d day of February or the th day of "July.

On the 1(th inst., Mr. Jacob Wicker arid wife, Elizabeth, of Newberry County, S. C., celebrated the 50th anni versary of their marriage. The com pany present was composed of children and grand-children, with other rela tives, and the near neighbors. The living children, six; grand-children nineteen, all present. Three children, and three grand-children dead. For the accommodation of all present a sumptuous dinner was spread on a long table in the yard. At the hour of 12, just before the announcement for dini ner, the guests all assembled in the house and gave us the beautiful song. "Nearer my God to Thee," with Mrs. Rutherfordi, the untiring organist, at the organ. A fter the singing. Rev. W. A. Julian, their p)astor-, with tne aged couple seated together pronounced the following ceremony. Beloved friends, aged husband and wife, father and mother in the Lord. As your pastor, it affords me great pleasure to address you on this fes tive occasion, at a period however tbe solemnity of which is second to none save that which brought you together as husband and wife in the days of your youth. A repetition of that joyful occasion in ri per years serves thbe pres ent as prima facie evidence of an undis turbed union for a half century. Fifty years have elapsed since you made the marriage vow. In all of these years this vow has been a remiinder of your duty to each other. In consummation of your matrimonial engagement, the home of your birth, with father and mother, wvere forsaken in a measure. When your lots were cast with strangers. It was a venture. It was a leap in the dark, but the wheel of fortune has cast the die in your favor, and the union to each one of you has been a sweet and happy communion. The introduction of your matrimonial life wvas the launching of your little mate b,oat upon time's great ocean. Since that day, you have had high sea, and low sea. rough andl smooth sailing, sunshine and clouds, storm and calmn, wet and dry, cold and heat. Your little boat is now well nigh the shore, a few miore days of faithful row ing and the voyage will end. You may anchor at the diamronid shore, but you cannot tarry long, you must hurry on to meet the grand assize,-to attend the marriage supper of the Lamh. Not the goldlen period alone, lit emblem of pure character and life, but an occasion when each and every guest will be furnished with a pure spotless wedding garment, washed in the blood of the Lamb, made white as snowv. Not rings andl pins, but crowns of thie purest gold will then and there be given thee. With diamonds bright, and gems of the richest hue will grace thy brow. Let me reinud you (one time more of that solemn marriage vow. Did you not p'romiise to live together after God's ordinance in the holy state of miatri mony, to love, comfort, and honoreach other, to keep you each the other only unto death; then hand in hand, you were joined together as husband and wife, dismissedn to the world with but little of this world's goods to begini your marriage life, but with character pure as gold, you have lived to bring up obedienit children who honor you in declining years. And now may your last days be the brightest and the most peaceful days of all your life. May the God of all grace perpetuate the happy union aind preserve you in the true faith unto eternal life, amen. The aged couiple we-re un iited in holy Wedloeck .Janiuary 1e;th, 1840, lby Rev. .
