The address delivered by Dr. John S. Hagbson was a rich contri? bution to such literature and?it was the prin? cipal feature of tbe day's programme. Capt. Delgar's remarks oo this occasion were gems of trace that sparkled with hard common sense.

THE Death. Death has again made its appearance in our midst and shattered to pieces the happi? ness of a home circle. This time lt was unex? pected and therefore harder to bear. To some of us it was like an earthquake shock and indeeed it was literally such to the family of the beloved deceased. And never was the uncertainty of life more forcibly illustrated than in the' death of Mrs. T. B, Jenkins, on last Monday, after a few days sickuess. The realization of it seems almost impossible. But she has gone, and home is no longer home to the grief-stricken husband and children. "God moves in a mysterious way, His wonders to perform." May this be the soothing bairn in the family's deep affliction. Mrs. Jenkins was a member of the Baptist Church and was about 32 years of age. The fanerai rites were solemnized yesterday af? ternoon by Rev. C. C- Brpwn at the Ceme? tery, at the conclusion of which the remains were tenderly laid away to rest in the beau? tiful City of the Dead. Mr. Rembert Mayes lost his little daughter last Thursday, and she was interred in the Mayesville Cemetery on Friday. Mrs. M. B. Jordan, sister of Mr. J. R. Phil? lips, and whose illness was mentioned last week, died at her brother's residence last Wednesday. Mrs. Wingate, daughter of Mr. William Jeffers, who lives at the Factory, died on last Wednesday, and was buried at Bethel Church, Swimming Pe ?s, on Thursday. Charles Hudson, a young man about 20 years old, son of Mr. Geo. H. Hudson, and who has been working in the Factory, died on last Saturday from effects bf measles. The ! remains were carried to Providence on Sun ! day tor interment. Mr. Ripley Copeland died in Sumter Coun? ty, S. C., on the loth inst., aged 94 years and 10 months. Ile was a native of that County, where he lived all his life, workiDg as a farmer and mechanic. He reared 13 children, six of whom were killed in the Confederate service.- Williamsburg Record. Mr. Copeland's long life has no doubt been the result in a large degree of his scrupulously temperate habits and upright life. He never used spirituous liquors or tobacco, has ?ived a consistent Christian life, and up to a few years ago, when he received a severe hurt, had scarcely ever taken a dose of medicine. Capt. Robert Alexander Chandler, Sr., died at his residence, in the Fork of Black River, Mcoday night, June 25th, aged about sixty-five years. Capt. Chandler was ia asnal health, and .ate * hearty supper before retiring. About 10 o'clock he awaked with a choking sensa? tion, and asked bis wife to get him some cough mixture. Before she could get it, he was out of the bed. His wife saw that he was not abie to stand, and hastily assisted him to lie down. In a few moments, before the terrible thought that even then he was in death's embrace, he was dead. Capt Chandler had been for many years a ruling elder of the Manning Presbyterian Church, and was recognized as one of the purest and best men in the County. His death will prove a great loss, not only to his family aud friends, but to the entire commu? nity-Manning Times. June 27. "Religious.

The notice of Commissioner Wilder relative to the Normal Institute to Joe held in Man? ning Aug. 6-11, will be seen elsewhere in this issue. A Vile Slander. We learn that the County is overrun with rumors to the effect that this city abounds in typhoid fever, aud that the disease is partic? ularly abundant at the Cotton Mill. We ?re informed, however, on the authority of Dr. John S. Hughson, Chairman of our local board of health, that there is not a single case of genuine typhoid fever in .the city and that the people at the mill are all suffering from measles or its sequeaces, but are most of them improving. Why will people spread damaging reports unless th -y know they are true? Cur health record w:.i compare favor? ably with that of any other town, city, or neighborhood in the. State. - ? ?+-+. -.

Mcilwaine lias made a map of the city showing the limits thereof, and the city council has had the map framed to bang in the couocii cbambf-r. The map is marked j oat in circles, the first one-fourth of a mile from the Court House, which is the centre; j the others one-fourth of a mile apart, the i outer circle representing one mile, which is j the city limits. OB the north this line crosses Main Street ! at Mile Branch ; following it Westwardiy it crosses tile Providence road at Dr. Solomons oid place. It next crosses Republican Street just taking in Jake Washington's bouse, passes between SiJ>on Pierson's and Moses Bell's houses, takes tn the Eastern end of the Hebrew Cemetery, crosses the old Manchester &. R. below SooVs Branch and crosses the Manning Road at Tuoraey's Terry bouse. It crosses the Central R. R. at the pk ce where S. Reese's house stood ; aud the places ofcross ing the iiadical iioad and M ay es vi Ile Road are p?l down as marked by a stake on each, just beyond the fork of these roads.

Rev. Jno. Ker- j shaw, R. 0- Purdy, Esq., and Dr. Joo. S. j Hughson compose the Board of Examiners. The examination covers Arithmetic through decimals, Grammar, U. S. History, and Geo? graphy. WA. TC A Fine Cow. Mr. C. P. A. Brahman bas lately swapped bis large Holstein-Friesian cow for a younger and superior one of the same breed. The cow he now has is from the herd of Mr. H. F. W. Breuer, Alt. Pleasant. S. C, and is thus described in bis catalogue : ''Second Queen of Ashley, 4,lil," H. H. B., isa superior Heifer; at two years old made a record of 139* quarts of milk in 7 days, which produced ?4? pounds of unsalted butter. Mr. Bultman sent us a few days ago some of the butter from his cow, which was of fine flavor and very rieb color, and equals any butter we have ever seen. The Holstein Friesian cattle combine, it is said, all the desirable qualities of milk, butter and beef to a greater degree than any other breed ; and besides having strong constitu? tions, are extremely bardy and remarkably docile in disposition. ; Mr. Breuer says that cows io his herd have given as high as 35 quarts of milk per day ; and the cow "Empress," imported from Hol? land, and from which the bead of his herd came, gave at 13 years old 19,714^ pounds of milk in a year, notwithstanding she was a cripple at the time. Allowing 2 pounds per quart, this would be over 27 quarts every day tue year through. A Shame. Mr. L. W. Dick, principal' of the Male Academy at Blackstock, S. C., arrived in Sumteron last Monday. And right here it may not be amiss to say a word on an im? portant subject. The grand success of the commencement-exercises of this school are worthy of special notice for obvious reasons. The Academy bas not been long established and notwithstanding its sbort existence' it is on a solid financial basis and one of the best schools of it3 kind in the State. Sumter is so many times larger than Black stock that there is scarcely roora for compar? ison on that point, and yet Sumter is fast asleep to the importance of having a first class male school within her limits. We are unable to give an intelligent reason for the absolute indifference on the part of our citi? zens in this matter. The necessity for a good male school in our city bas been talked about and written up, and all to no purpose; and it is a burning shame upon our intelligence and interest ia the advancement of civiliza? tion. Our Fire Department. Of all the departments of a well-regulated city government that of the fire department is the most important. It is the first to be looked after and it should never be neglected in the slightest particular. Everything de? pends upon its thorough equipment, and neither property or life is safe against the devouring flames unless aii the facilities to ext'nguish the destructive element in the easiest and quickest way possible are I -re ? and ready at hand for any eraergancy of the kind that is likely to happen at any minute during the day or night. All this is too well knowu to need repetition here but not? withstanding all that Sumter seems so slow to act and so indifferent on this sur-ject in particular that uniess efforts are made by somebody for the accomplishment of this ? great result there is no telling at what point in the fu ta re we will have a* fire department that will e*er amount to anything when the alarm of distress is given. Therefore we hailed with joy the information furnished us this morniog by Mr. A. W. Suder, president of the Independent F. E. Co. of this city tbat a steamer is expected here to-night and that j after a fair and satisfactory test of the same, the citizens can purchase it on the easiest terms possible. By giving a little assistance in this matter the fire department will be in a position so negotiate for this steamer, if it should prove satisfactory after trial. We hope our citizens will realize the great necessity of having a steamer and will wil? lingly contribute whatever, however little it may be, towards securing this desideratum in Sumter. The trial of this steamer will take place on Friday afternoon at six o'clock, and the ladies are especially invited to come out and witness the test of the capabilities of this steamer at that time. St. Joseph's Academy. The celebration of tlie twenty-fourth an? nual commencement of St. Joseph's Academy on last Thursday evening was a brilliant I event in the history of that institution. The public generally had looked forward to the occasion with the brightest anticipations and long before the hour had arrived for the open? ing of the commencement exercises crowds could be seen wending their way to St. Jos? eph's Academy and its spacious and beautiful halls were* filled to its utmost seating capacity by six o'clock. As the soft notes of Angelo Rossi's u Grand Processional March" filled the balls with the i sweetest of music rendered so skillfully by Misses Brown, Winklcr, Barnet and Leonard, the pupils of St. Joseph's Academy in perfect time to these delicious strains marched in and took their seats, which were arranged in tiers on the stage. Now the picture of loveli? ness was complete and the senses of the in? toxicated audience were held under a magicai spell. The salutatory of welcome by Miss Minnie Brown was a well-written composition and was most gracefully and admirably delivered j and it made quite an impression upon the audience. The evening's programme was complete, varied and of a rare character and we regret very much that our limited space prevents us from publishing it in full. It is impossible to skim the cream of all we beard and saw for it was all good from the beginning to the end. The music on this occasion was music in its truest sense, and it was not only excel? lent b?t it was grand and sublime. The delicacy of touch and the exquisite expression ? of some of the piece3 played deserve special ' notice. The vocal duet "Come where the violets blow" by Misses Emma Strauss ?nd Anita DeLorme, piano accompaniment, .Miss Eva Von Dobies, guitar accompaniment, ' Miss Sallie Levi, complexly won" the audi? ence's heart and all of the fair ones who took part :n this piece received an ovation of up plattse. The piano sfcxtciie, "Resi'.e.-s Love," ? by Misses Alia Ilerriot, Waike Manheim, Jen- ! nie Dargan, Katie aud Blanche Agnew, and Hannah .Manne was most charmingly render- j ed and was all the heart could wish for in ! music. Tho piano solo, "Fantaisie Bril- | liante," by Miss Katie Reardon WHS a perfect I little gem and the execution of the pisce v as { most brilliantly dene. The piano duo, "Hap- ? py Thoughts," was composed by Miss Sallie I Levi, of Manning, whose talent for music is said to be most remarkable It was most 1 deftly rendered by Misses Ada Cooper and ! Mary Comerford. Gold medals were awarded for proficiency in music to Miss Sallie Levi and Miss Katie' Reardon. Misses Ad* Cooper, Edith Ik- j borme, Mary Comerford, Minnie Brown. Ali* j Merriot, Jennie Dargan, Walke Manheim ard j Rosalie Barnett received honors for music. "A morning in China,'** a charming 1: tile I drama translated from tb? French by Miss j Edi'h DeDotme, was well acted and reflected j great credit upon r.li the young ladies who j took part in it. The discussion on the arts by the gradu- j ates, Misses Sallie Levi, of Manning, Emma Strauss, of New York, Edith DeLorme and j Jesse Smith, of this city, was the principal i feature of the programme, and this debate on ? the superiority of Painting, Music, Sculpture and Poetry was intensely interesting to the audience, and each of the fair debater; main? tained their respective side of the question ? with marked ability. The beautiful pain tings that adorned the ? v.;-.?3 of St Joseph's Academy furnish thc j best evidence of tho proficiency acquired in i this branch of study at this institution of ? learning; Misses Sallie Levi, A tja H er riot j and Katie Agnew received honors for their ! skii! in painting. The crowning of thc graduates was a beau- j t;fu 1 scen^ and suggestive o? the reward they j were entitled to after so many years of hard study. Vicar General, Nf gre. Quigicy and Reverend ? Fathers Monaghan, M eli ugh and Mc'Neill were ! present on thia occasion. The address of ? M gre. Quigicy was peculiarly ap prop ri- j ate to the occasion and his golden words of j wisdom were duly appreciated by a delighted j audience.

Editor: As we are all in better spirits this morning on account of a welcome visitor on Sunday evening last, I take great pleasure in writing you a'few items. Corn is small. I don't think there cnn bp over two-thirds of a crop made in our locality on account of the extreme wet ?eather and then dry weather. Cotton is small, but some chance for it yet. Air. C. T. Player, Jr , has the finert corn I have seep, this year. His land is fresh and for that reason the drought did not seem to in? jure it badly. iMr. A. H. Truluck has harvested a large yield of oats; Mr. H. H. Player's wife is quite sick. Mr. S. P. Chandler is again able to be teaching. Miss Kate Keels' school will clo3e on the 12th July. I had occasion to be present on the night of 23d at Beulah Church, at an entertainment which "capped the climax." It was certainly a grand occasion in which many enjoyed themselves. Good luck to Mr. B. B. T. for heiog the instigator in such a noble occasion. QOOD. Inter-County Institute for Whites. On the 20th inst, a joint meeting of the Clarendon and Sumter Boards of Examiners, the former being represented by Maj. P. G. Benbow, School Commissioner for Clarendon County, and Prof. S. A. Nettles, from Man? ning, the latter by J. T. Wilder and Col. J. D Blanding, was held in the School Com? missioners office at Sumter, to make the nec? essary preparations and arrangements for holding the Inter-County Institute at Man? ning in accordance with agreement made last year between the Clarendon and Sumter Boards of Examiners. The time set for the Institute is the 6th day of August, to con? tinue one week, closing on Saturday of the same week. The faculty agreed upon are the following eminent gentlemen and educators: Prof. R. Means Davis, of. South Carolina College, Principal ; Prof. G. Edwin Stokes, principal of the Seneca Graded School ; and Prof. M. S. Morrison, Superintendent of the schools of Greenville. The two Boards further agreed, in consid? eration of the aid to be received from the Peabody fund, to assist all boua fide public school teachers of-tbe two counties in the sum of two dollars each who shall attend the In? stitute not lesa than four days during the session. We earnestly desire to see a large attendance at the institute and all teachers who wish to avail themselves of the assistance here offered will piea3e notify me. Very respectfullv, J. f. WILDER, Sch. Com. Sumter County. In speaking of the success of a musical entertainment given last week at Troy, Abbe? ville County, the Press arid Banner has this to say in praise of Mrs. Theo Solomons, nee Mis3 Lou Stehle formerly of Sumter ; The vocal nissie was brilliant and well rendered. "Love shall guide thee" by Mrs. Solomons and Miss Stehle was a master piece of success and brilliance. Mrs. Solomons certainly sang well, indeed in a manner that would have attracted the attention of admirers of Patti or Abbott Assisted by the sweet alto of Miss, Stehle, we may truly say that we are not io possession of words that would express our admiration of the rendition of this imparallelled piece. We do not see bow any more music could have been gotten out of it. The god of music surely inspired the fair devotees who rendered this tribute of homage at his shrine "Life has no power" a trio from Belisanrio, by Mrs. Solomons, Messrs. Bradley and Jordan was good. The above vouches for Mrs. Solomons' execution of the eoorano. Fats vs. Leans. Everybody listen ! Base Bail Park will be a sight on next Monday afternoon. Every? body come!
