The loss on dwel ling-house, furniture, &c., is about $2,000, with an insurance of $500. Mr. Merchant believes that the fire caught from hot coals dropping out of the stove on the floor.

The boys have been re hearsing faithfully. Let Newberry turn out in full force and give Capitola a Newberry at the Columbla CentenniaL To the Editor of The Herald and News: Interest in the Columbia cen tennial grows apace. Newberry has fallen into line, and her arch need not hold its head abashed, notwithstand ing the tardiness of our sympathy in this commendable celebration. Our activities have been aroused. A com mittee (composed of Mr. Blalock and the writer) from the Board of Trade has. visited Columbia, has selected a loca tion, has contracted with certain build ers and professional decorators, who are under agreement with the com mittee to do the work thoroughly and in an artistic manner. It remains now with the citizenship of town and coun ty to say whether it were best to adver tise Newberry's resourmes extensively by pamphlets, placards and the like. ro my mind the occasion will be one that should be employed for all it is worth, for the purpose of making known to the world where Newberry . is, what the products of our soil and mills, what our natural environments are, what are our educational facilities, etc. I fancy if advertising material were left unused it could afterwards be I distributed through proper .bannels I where it-might do the most good. It is well to remember that the illustrated pap,rs and the large daily press will have representatives on the ground, that distinguished men of the North and of the South are expected to be present to enjoy the festivities of the occasion. It will be an event of a cen tury. Outside of the tinge of sadness that steals over us as we meditate upon the fact that we will not be permitted to participate in the celebration of the second centennial, the occasion should be a joyous one for every son of Caro lina, who feels the impulse of deep de votion to his mother State. There will be much in this celebra tion to inspire us with new hope and renewed zeal, as with backs turned to the shadowy past, we gaze through the vista of time upon the spi,ndors and achievements of a new century. And with the recollection of the pa triotism that has distinguished South Carolina, whether in the pulpit,, on the battle field, in the press, in commerce, in the law, in medicine, or in the peace ful pursuitsof husbandry, may we not encourage new hopes that for our be loved Carolina, her future may be ighter than her glorious past. Every b hould attend except those abso lutely n and thus honor our selves as we sho o the world that we L are yet worthy of tha on in iw autonomy- of States which wetave 1 hitherto enjoyed. I cannot reproduce e the programme here, but big things are I promised, not the least of which is to 0 see and hear that grand old man, Wade t Hampton, who has ever been worthy F of our profoundest admiration. Ouri children, too, should be given this op portunity, possibly their last, of shak ing hands with, and of knowing the man who, had Lee been removed by c death, would have been placed in con mand of all the forces of the Confed- t eracy; whose military prowess and S civic renown future historians will say equalled that of the bravest and the best of any age. Newberry cannot claim to be the v first of the counties in date of establish- d ment, but she may, by a proper repre- 0 sentation at this centennial, entertain a a lively hope that she will be consid- b ered primus inter pares-"first among v her equals.". God forbid that our love of State, P which is only another name for patri- J otism, shall ever wax cold or diminish t because of increasing years.o W. E.

C CURIOUs CAPERS OF CATERPILLARS.I rrains on the Carolina Central Railroad Blockaded by Moving Masses of the Pestiferons Insects. CHARWT'rE, N. C., May 2.-The Carolina Central trainmen have been having apeculiar experience with cater- i pillars for four or five days past. Just east of Lumberton is what is known as o "Big Swamp," and the railroad goes y through it on trestle work, broken here ~ and there in the more solid portions of I the swamp by solid embankments of v earth. Last Tuesday an army of cater- ~ pillars began moving out of the swamp, a and when they reached the streams over which the trestle carries and rails they massed on the railroad and pro ceeded to cross on the trestles. The t rails and ties were covered inches deep a with the moving mass, and the first P train that encountered them was brought to a dead standstill, the driv- s ing whbeels of the engine slipping round as if the rails had been thoroughly oiled. The engineer exhausted the contents of his sand box before he got through the swamp and reached a clear stretch of track. It was thought that that trip would be the end of the caterpillar trouble, but the very next day a train encoun tered another army of caterpillars crossing the trestle and had the same difficulty. The Charlotte bound passenger says the scene was something truly wonder ful. The rail and crossties of the tres tle were actually obscured from sight by the masses of caterpillars, and the ground and swamps on each side of the track were littered with the mashed fragments of millions of the caterpillars from the wheels of proceeding trains, and from this mass an unendurable stench arose. Where they came from is not known.] The farmers on this side of the swamp express no uneasiness for the safety of their crops so long as the advancing army persists in using the trestle as its means of getting across the steams, for none of them have got more than half way cross before a train would come along and couvert them into fertilizer.

C., Ap.- 2).-One o ,olumabia's young ladies has carried otf L first prize in a competition opened to :he world by the Times. of Manchester, England. That paper otfered a prize for :he best composition on the subject: "The best book, and why I like it." I'here were competitors frou France, Termanv, Canada, the South An:erican States, Mexico and the United States. Miss Jessie Sudlow, of this city, won :he prize for the senior division classiti ation, that is, the highest order of lite ary merit. Miss Sud low is ouly 17 years )f age, and is a pupil in the pubic chools of Columbia, a very gratifying tdditional fact. Miss 6udlow's Subject as "Ivanhoe," and she has promised k copy of her essay to this otlice. It as not yet been puilished, but the )ticial annoucent. of the award of ;he premium bas been made in the rimes. Miss Ethel Sudlow, sister of the prize winner, has been commended iighly 'or a paper contributed to the junior i livision of contestants. Miss Sudlow's Essay. The "Wizard of the North" has cast is spell over the young people of tvo generatiobs and many lauds. The in :antation which bound me is not of Scotland, yet still of the North, and :hough "Ivanhoe" had the great ad 7antage of being first to fall into my jauds, I still think it the book of all ythers that I would choose could I iave but one. We have two copies. )ne, mine, was given me by my uncle when I was 12 years old, and tL'e cou lition it is now in (it was only paper :ov-red) testifies to the frequency with which I cousult it. Ithasgrowii to be y standard of comparison with other ooks, its characters my standard with which to measure other characters when not utterly dissimilar. As to why I like it, I never inquired of my 5elf. Because I like nature, I suppose. \'ow I will try to scrape the roseleaf to End the color since that is in the bond. We all know the fmeastied sweep of '.he couplet:-,. Day set4h',Norham's castled steep, And Tweed's fair river, broad and deep. The whole of "Ivanhoe" moves to the same naj,stic music. The Saxon r '-e ian tourniinent, tribunal o ' "'enluiars, ach strikes diff'erent ch , ,t aol roduce divine harmony. Each6. a very character is many sided, full, ife-like, and acts lrom personal motive r under circumstances that, affecting hem alone, still impel them to take art in the development of the whole. 'he encounter of the faithful Gurth vith the Miller, wbile Robin Hood's and looked on at the sport, is told ith the same charm and spirit as the ontest between Cour-de-Lion, os Le oir Faineant, and Athe!stane, with he beauty and nobility of Eugland as pectators; and we completely forgot hat Robin Hood is an outlaw in re aembering with King Richard tl-at he. the "Prince of good fellows." The oodland life, suggested rather than escribed, is as entracing as the rorest f Arden, while not being in any sense copy. And Rebecca, the beautiful, ig-pirited Jewish maided! It isshe ;ho is the real heroine, she who ioved through the pages with the iety of Ruth; the courage of udith, and the self-denial of Jeph hah's daughter. She compels at nce our love, our reverence, and our ching sympathy. However many. imes we have read it anpther perusal ~ ut impresses the lesson, that at all ~ tages of the world's history there were e sen "len.i and- true," not to a king ly, but to the noblest instinct of that ' rder-which I for one do not believe ~ sextinct-true knighthood. The ruild is, I trust, training cadets who vill be belted knights some day. Let s hem take up a crusade against wrong, - nd never forget the rose on their leeve. MARRIED.
