a distance of about ten feet. While

very serious injury.

Comments ot a. Spectator.
(Reported .'or tbe News.)
On Friday the 14th inst., Oates’
Academy was the scene of an eu-
teitaimmut, unique aud replete
with interest, which certainly de
served a larger share of sympathy
and support than the community
bestowed. The occasion was au
“Elocutionary contest fur the edu
cation of youth iu the priuciples of
Temperance and Prolnbitiou”
which to enjoy, was well worth
risking the shower ever aud anon
threatened. All the speakers,
young ladies and gontlemeu, aquit-
ted ihemsehes with credit; euuu
ciatmg with fine effect “thoughts
that glow and words that burn,”
and where each did so well it is
difficult to discriminate, but we
canuot forbear alluding sjncially to
tbe graceful, impassioned and im
pressive, rendering of “A Martyied
mother.’’ The audience while
awaiting the judges’ decision, pro-
needed to bestow the aiedel each
to suit himself; it was finally
awarded by tbe judges to a youug
lady of Lydia.
Tbe festival held somewhat in
connection was lather too success-
iul to be pleasant to some late ar
rivals who found thecieamall goue
and nothing remaining for them
except some very thin slices ot
cake and only two or three young
ladies to serve it. It is proposed
we believe to make this eoutest the
first of a series and we feel confi
dent none will be disappointed who
are privileged to attend.
Freaks of Nature
A genuine curiosity may be seen
at Dr. Boyd’s drug store in tbe
shaite of a two-headed snake. Tbe
reptile waa killed by a colored man
several days ago in the vicinity of
Floyd’s Mill aud is a king snake,
six or eight inches long. The two
heads are distinct and perfect iu
every respect aud are joined to
their body by means ot separate
necka. The remarkable part of
this curiosity, in which it differs
from most of its kind, is the ]>erfeot
development of every part of both
heads.
Another freak of nature recently
devetoned in these parts, is s tur-
key gobbler, belonging to Mr. New
eloped in
ton Gandj, who lives on Dr. Will
©ox’s place about four miles from
town. For some time past th* gob
bler has been setting on some hen
and has rinoe hatched ts fine

The Day ot Atonement.
Last Friday evening the celebra
tion of the most solcuiu day iu the
Jewish year, was begun. Saturday
was the tenth day of Tishri, the
Day of Atoujmeut, iu Hebrew'
“Yom Kippur”—a season of much
religious significance to the Jew.
The services of this day weie tigid
ly and universally observed by the
Israelites ot this community aud
although Satuiday is tbe busiest
day of tbe week every one close i
his store in obeisance to bis reli
gious duties. Begiuuiug on Friday
evening, they ccleorated the clos
ing day of the peuitculial season,
which was commeuced on Wednes
day of the week previous. Being
the time appointed by God as the
period for tbe forgiveness ot sins,
it *s heldby thefollow’ersof the faith
to be a day of absolute fast, the
worshipers partaking of no food or
liquid, from the eve of Friday uu
til the appearance of the first star
ou Saturday evening aud tbe l low*
iug ot a trumpet by tbe Rabbi. Ou
cloudy eveuiugs tbe trumpet aloue
tells of tbe eud of tbe fast. Five
services were held here, oouducte i
by Rev. Mr. Lesser, of New York.
The first was Kol Nidre, or open
ing set vi. e, held ou Friday eveuiug.
Next day the Shdcbarith, lasting
until a little before noon was cele
brated ; then tbe Mussaph, contin
uing until 3 o’clock P. M.; next
followed the Mincha, aud finally
the closing sen ice, Ne’ila. Toe
faithful faateisanivcd at the place
of worship early iu the day and tbe
aervicea were held continually uutil
the Day ot Atouement had passed
away.

‘•Sprouting In the Field ”
Editor of The Darlington AW* ;
1 believe that the farmers in their
auxirty about the ootton crop have
almost forgotten (hat we have a
corn crop. We ail know that our
cotton is badly' damaged, and 1
believe the best thing we can do is
to let it wait until we have sufficient
sun shine to dry it in the field. It
will give belter and make a better
sample.
The object of ibis communication
is to call the atteu tiou of tbe farm
ers in the condition of our corn.
It you will ,-x mme your corn you
will fiud fully one-fourth badly
damaged; some of it has sprouted
and some has rotted. Wbat are
«e to do about it f 1 have no ex
perience, but I believe we should
gather it and stack It out as soon
au we can, aud as we slack it out
sprinkle a small quantity of salt
over it On making au exatnina-
I iou you will find that the ears
standing upright on tbe stalk are
tbe most damage-1; the shuck
holds the water, and has caused it
to sprou*. But with our crops
damaged as they aie, we are so
much better off than those whose
cro;>s have be. u swept away by the
high water of our streams, that we
should be thaukful.
