Apart from tbe pleasure and nov? elty of riding through a country where tbe sound of the iron horse has never >>een heard will be that of seeing the town of Bennetts ville, and participating in a most delightful entertainment, and all for sweet charity's sake * A Deserved Honor. At the recent commencement of Ruther? ford College, North Carolina, the degree of doctor of divinity was conferred upon the Hev J. Thomas Pate, pastor of Spring Street Methodist Episcopal Church South, of this city. Mr Pate was educated in the schools of Su otter and at Wofford College. He bas been a very extensive traveller iu this country and Europe. He is an omnivorous reader, fie know? something about almost everything and a great deal . about imany things. Hts knowledge*o? theology-isSsfty thorough; bis views are broad and linera). All who are striving todo right have in him an earnest friend. As a preacher he is acceptable to any audience. As a writer and review critic be bas taken rery high raak; His articles io. the most intellectual periodical of America have brought - him a fine monetary remuneration. His con? tributions are al wa v s io demand.-Nie es and Courier. A DASTARDLY DEBD.-r? - One of Sumter's Young Men .Way? laid on the Streets of the City - and Nearly Killed With a Billet . of Wood in the Hands of a Mid? night Assassin. Mr. Emile Fox worth, a well and favorably known young man,, who occupies a respon? sible position in the grocery store of Cross well Co., had been , to the Distribution dance at Armory hall last Monday evening. Mr. Foxworth bad just escorted his young lady friend who accompanied bim lo the dance to be? home on Liberty Street and was.return? ing to Mr. Frank Grier's on Republican Street, where he boards. As he was passing the Methodist cborch a negro man approached bim and inquired tbe time. Mr. Foxwortb without pulling out bis watch told him that it wanted a few minutes to 3 oclock (A. M.) He bad only proceeded a short distance up Cborch Street and was passing the house of M rs. Manning Brown, and under the shadow of the large oaks which skirt the side walk at this point, wheo be thought he detected the quick, stealthy tread of some one following, and on turning bis head to see, was dealt a crushing blow over his right eye and across the lower part of bis forehead. His bat was struck off in Mr. Matthieu's yard and the picket feoce alone prevented bim from falling ander the force of the blow. Mr. Foxwortb gave an involuntary cry of pain and putting his handkerchief to his face, ran up Church Street as fast as he could, followed by tbe man, who evidently left him and went off in another direction when he reached the cerner. Dr. Hugbson was sent for and after careful examination could find no fracture of the skull. Mr. r ox worth's right eyebrow was cut through to the bone and tbe cut extended across the forehead almost to the bridge of the nose where it ended iu several ugly con? tusions, some of which extended below ibe eye. It was a fearful blow the marks of which will always be visible. Upon an ex? amination of the weapon used, which was a piece of very thick flooring, 3J feet long, the only wonder is be was not instantly killed. The shock was severe enough to split the plank, though struck with the edge, and this partial breaking probably saved bis life. The evident inteotion of tbe mao was to rob, and failing io tbe attempt to get the watch when he asked tbe time, be followed Foxwortb in the darkness to murder, if necessary to ac? complish his object. This outrageous and dastardly deed committed on one of the prin? cipal thoroughfares of the city, at tbe very doors of its best citizeus and upon a worthy an inoffensive young man should stir the city authorities to a sense of their responsibility, 1 in the premises. We have heard that only a few nights ago two reputable colored men were8truck very much ?u the same way HS Mr. Foxwortb, while on their way to their homes, and one of them robbed of all be had about bim. Mr. Foxwortb, it is thought, bas some clue to the perpetrator of the crime, upon which Chief Weeks bas started to work up tbe case. Another Man Assaulted and Hob? bed in Open Daylight. A fourth case of highway robbery took place ou tbe outskirts of the city about coon to-day. The victim is a young mulatto man frosi Columbia, named Frank Nelson, who has been bere a few days oo a visit to Z?ck Walker's son. Nelson was seen to get $20 at the Post Office this morning, by a couple of yoong negroes who afterwards engaged bim in conversation and invited bim to dine with them at their uncle's near the Mile Brunch. Nelson was ou his way to keep the engagement, and had reached Mile Branch when he was suddenly assaulted and knocked senseless by a blow oo the back of the head, it is thought from a saud bag or similar weapon. He was robbed of his money and left ou the road where he was found and j brought to the city. Nelson when seen by a reporter of the Watchman and Southron bad regained his senses and gave the foregoing information. It is stated that Nelson recognized the men as having *eeo them in Columbia, and hence tbe intimacy that sprang up between them. He says he will know them if be meets them again. Since the above bas been put io type, two young negro men answering somewhat to the description given by Nelson, have been ar? rested and lodged in jail. Upon search only $2 50 was found on the person of ?oe of ibe mea. They arc still iu jail. ! 27th Annual Commencement of ! Joseph's Academy. The 21 ih Annual Commencement of Joseph's Academy in this city Attracted targe audience to the ball of this far fan institution oo Monday evening last Perh? never io the history of St. Joseph's ha< Commencement attracted a larger audiei not only of our own citizens but also fron food roany towns and most of the cit throughout the State. As early as 4 p. crowds began to assemble within the spade hall of the Academy, and when at 6 p. the Angelus bell announced the hour for t Opening of the exercises, every seat was < copied and standing room was at a premie tn the adjoining halls and verandas. At t sound of '-Bishop Northrop's Jubilee March the pupils entered the hall and when seat on the stHge presented a picture of rare beau and elegance. The Salutatory by Miss May O'Mara, Ch'irle.-ton, S. C., was a chaste composite io which the fair speaker welcomed the lar audience to St. Joseph's with a naturalness manner and grace of delirery that won t hearts of all present. Then followed a mc interesting programme of vocal and instr mental music which at once delighted t bearers and reflected the highest credit bo upon the pupils and teachers of the Academ Special reference must be made to the awe vocal sextette, "Greeting to Spring," sut by six young ladies, apd accompanied on tl guitar by Misses Manheim and Manne ; i also to the "Prajer from Otello" played k three young ladies on the piano with the le hand only ; and to the piauo solo "Willia Tell" by Miss Eva Von Dolmen, which exh bited rare musical ability. Tbe vocal sol "Care Campagne" was faultlessly render? by Miss M. Doar, and the "Shadowy Song, from the opera of Di norah by M ii s Hanns Manne was regarded by all present as tl vocal gem of the evening. The participan in the French Drama: "L'Orgueilleuse seemed to have mastered all the difficolties < this foreigo tongue, and the charming cantal "The Kingdom of Mother Goose" entertaine and delighted the audience perhaps even moi than it did the throng of little children wh sang and spoke and acted cleverly tbroughoi this beautiful little play. The Valedictory was gracefully delivere by Miss Alja Heriot, tbe first honor gradual who seemed to enter with ber whole soul int the beautiful eeo timen ts so beautifully exp-esi ed in this her last farewell to St. Joseph's. The last number on the programme was tb drama "Mary Queen of Scots," by the joun ladies, who performed their various pari with a perfection tbat cannot be too highl praised and that held the vast audience apel bound during the entire hour cf its perform ance.
