carly in the morning from his South Carolina trip
The Major is jolly fellow, and makes good COM
pany. We learned from him that whole family
consisting of nine poisoned in Newburg, S. O.,
last week. 1t the work of negro cook, in
stigated and prompted to the commission of the
offence through tue instrumentality of white
man. a mechanic living in the place. The reason
for committing this offence is not known.
On yesterday morning went to hear the Rev.
Mr.. Grier; he preached most excellent sermon
from the words, not mad. most noble Festus.''
! 1t was an able discourse, evincing keenness of
perception and power of concentration seldom met
