WnEAT.-This great bread staple is
being rapidly cut, many farmers already
having gathered their crops. The last
week Was uncommon!y favorable for
that purpose. From what can be learned,
the crop will be large. Some complaint
is made Of the small grain, and thin
stands, but it is known that much
greater area was sown in wheat than the
previous year, and that the crop will be
large. We will soon hear Of new -four.

COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES. - A most
eloquent address was delivered before
the graduating class of the Newberry
Female College, Of which the Rev. j. 7.
Zealy is the principal, on Sunday night,
in the Baptist Church, by the Rev. Prof.
Smeltzer. This address was one of the
Professors most happy efforts, and was
listened to by large ard attentive au-
dience. The opening invocation by Rev.
W. S. Black, and the closing prayer by
Rev. Mr.. Zealy, were beautiful and i'm
prcssive. On Monday commenced the
examination of the young ladies, nine in
number, of the graduating class, who af-
ter long period of close application to
study on their part, and of careful and
thorough training by Mr.. Zealy and as
sistants. are now undergoing a highly
gratifying, examination preparatory to
gaining their well-earned diplomas. It
was our pleasure to attend on Monday
morning, and though not intending to
remain but short while, having other
important duties to perform, we found it

( The CONCERT given on Monday night,
in behalf Of Roscmont Cemetery, was q
brilliant success, both as to the character
and style of the music rendered by our
Newberry artistcs, and the large and ap-
preciative audience in attendance. The
programme selected for the occasion,
comprised gems from the best masters,
and we're executed with such faithfulness
as to elicit the most unbounded admira-
ton from the entranced listeners. The
gentlemen composing the club have ac-
quired proficiency in music and execu-
ton, which entities them to high rank,
in tie musical world, and the ladies who
so gracefully lent their talcntstc the gen.
eral enjoyment, gave US treat, vocal
and instrumental, which we would like
to have repeated again and, again. In
fancy we we're carried back to other days
and other scenes, when music entered
more into the elements of our enjoyment,
and came floating over the rapt senses,
the bird notes of Jenny Lind, the 1atc'
like cadenses of the charming Mrs. Sc
gun, the full, round voice Of Mad. Anna
Bishop, the deep bass of Seguin, and
magnificent tenor Of the old Charleston
favorite, Reeves.
We think our amateurs might with
profit to themselves, and certainly graft
6cation to the community, appear more
frequently and enlircn the otherwise dull
monotony with their rich musical treats.
We take occasion to compliment the
boys in attendance on their good beha-
vior; yea verify music hath charms, for
it walked responses in their little mis-
chievous souls.

FIREs.-We regret to learn that on
Thursday night>last, the Kitchen, Flour
and Smoke houses Of Mrs. Henson, near
Jalapa in this district, were entirely con:
sumed by fire. The contents of each
building, with the exception Of a small
portion of meat were lost. The loss OF
these buildings and their contents are
seriously felt by this estimable lady.
The fire is supposed to have bsen the
work OF All incendiary.
On Friday afternoon, another fire oc'
Cured, which at first sight appeared to
b. in town, so near did it seem, but it
vas discovered to be or the premises OF
Mr.. Jack Hair, abou, a mile distant, and
proved 10 be Kitchen, which was con-
suulcd. This kitchen it is remembered
was the principal building on the place,
the dwelling having been destroyed by
fire on Sunday the 23d Of July, 1865, by
soldiers OF the garrison then in command
of this place. Mr. Hair docs not live on
the farm, it being occupied BY freedmen.

PRETTY GOOD.

Many incidents of an amusing
character happened during the late
war which have never found the way
into print, but which are too good to
be lost. The following, we believe,
has not heretofore met the public eye:
Wash Petty, noted bushwhacI :
er, whilst foraging in southwest Mis-
souri,, with his followers, rode up to
a farmhouse whose owner was known
to have ample provisions tor man
and beast, bat whose politics were
best known to himself. Petty and
his meu being dressed in federal uni
forms, were mistaken by the farmer
for "jayhawkers.' He began to de
clare most positively that lie was a
f" Union man. God never made "a
better" Petty said "we are hunt
ing your sort, we are rebel bush
whackers." Whereupon the farmer
changed his tactics and declared Just
as positively that he was a . South
ern man." "Look here, old man."
said Petty, "you don't know to which
side we belong, and yon must take
one side or the other, and stick to it;
if you happen to take the wrong side
We'll kill you." This staggered the
man considerably, but after think
ing minute, he said Well |
said at the start | was a Union man,
and I'll stick to it if it is a ID lie !"
He was left to enjoy his peculiar
opinions without further molestation.

RADICAL TACTICS.-The New Or
leans Times gives the following as a
fair specimen of the tactics of the
Radical party. 1t says;
The Radicals this year have been
fertile of schemes intended to intlu-
ence the October elections. Among
Others was the circulation of a living
dispatch stating that Chief Justice
Chase l. ad declared in favor of Grant,
while another consisted in the will
full prevaTication and vii hhOlding of
official election returns. The major
lty in Maine, it is now ascertaiued,
is less than 10000, instead of over
10000 as generally reported, One
district of AriStOok was reported to
have given a Radical majority of
eight hundred. which went Demo
cratic 10y about one hundred major
ity. No doubt similar attempts will
be made TO manipulate the returns
of the late elections in order TO in-
tiuence the Presidential contest
We car not be too guarded in accept
ing mere telegraphic information as
a reality.

it is very evident that this planch-

is seldom any one does so without
damage to body, or mind, or soul
generally the damage extends to all
three.
We earnestly advise and entreat
all our friends and readers, whether
Catholic or not, to let alone table
tipping, spirit mediums, planchette
and all other silly deviltries, by
which the lost angels seek to fool
and perplex the human race. These
are living wonders, but yet there is

The people of the South are not

sire, not to infame the negroes, but
to speak the truth and encourage all

less and visit us more, and there will
soon be neither the will to abuse, nor
a feeling Of distrust.
[ am assured here by many men
that Gen. Grant, as President, will
disregard the Chicago platform and
see to it that equal justice shall be
done the Southern States and people,
and that the Radicals are really
afraid of him, and vote for him only
from necessity. Some tell me he will
be better for the South than Mr
Seymour. This may all prove true.
But he certainly stands on a wrong
platform and is supported by wrong
influences.
The South has no animosity toward
General Grant. She cares nothing
for men. But the whites Of the
South never have, and never will,
because they never can, consent to
the reconstruction measures, nor to
the Governments formed by them.
TO consent to these is to consent to

CHANGES IN NIAGARA. - Tile
Falls Receding,-From an old resi-
dent of the village | learn seI eral
facts Of interest regarding the falls.
Within the recollection of nv in

thirty five or forty feet in places, and
fully ten feet in the average. These
changes are more noticeable on the
Canada side, the centre of the Horse.
shoe Fall having receded perceptibly
within the past five years. This
fact, III connection with the torma-
ton aud genelal appearance of the
walls of rock on each side of the
lower level Of the river, shows that
the falls must have originally been
much lower down. 1t is an Indian
tradition that III former times there
was but Que fall extending across the
river below the point now spanned
by the lower bridge, and the story is
credited by the old residents Of the

Salt Against an ET-GOrerHOr.-
" A subject of her Britannia Majes
ty" gives notice to eX-Gov. Brown
through the Savannah papers, that
at the next term ofthe United States
Court he will conn ice suit against
the ex Governor for damages to the
amount of five thousand dollars -
His complaint is that Gov. Brown,
during the war, ordered aliens either
to leave the State forever or take up
arms and repair to Atlanta within
ten days, and that he was ther eby
compelled to "Sever his business and
domestic relations on short notice" !"
whereby he sustained the damage
complained of.
We hope this fellow may get "old
Joe" for the whole of the five thous-
and. He deserves to lose three times
that much for his apostacy to his
country.

QUESTION OF IDENTITy-A Gle

QUESTION OF IDENTIFY Cler-
gyn,on Mistaken for Brick P0mer0y.
The New York Citizen tells the fol-
lowing: 1t is not generally known
that Mr.. Pomeroy, the editor of the
Ld Crosse Democrat, and more lately
OF the Democrat in this city, is a
young man of refined and elegant
appearance, with small white hand,
a broad forehead and slim shape
He neither drinks nor smokes, apd
has none of the characteristics of q
seasoned hard shell of the oIden
school, while a steady glance from a
woman will make him blush to his
ears. His disposition naturally
throws him with those of religious
tendency. Clergymen are common
visitors at his office, and find him
ready to assist the objects they have
in view. One of those who had a
bald head, aud on whom nature had
most unjustly set the seal of the
wine bibber, was seated in his outer
Office writing, when a specimen of
the fourth ward Democrat, more
than three sheets in the wind, called
to pay his respects to the king of the
CopperheadS. This fellow was shown
into the same room with the clergy
man, and walking up behind the
latter, who was leaning over the
desk deeply occupied, brought q
huge dirty hand down upon his bald
head so that the marks of his fingers
were visible for hours, shouting
" How are you, Brick, old fellow p
| knowed you at once, did. How
are you old cuss! Iknowed you by
your bald head and your red nose.
You are one of our sort, you are.
Give 'em Old Nick, them Republi-
can cusSes ; you are the chap that
can do that same, you are. l see it
in your eye"
Explanations were useless, and the
clergyman rushed into Mr.. Pomeroy's
private apartment for protection,
with the marks of the strong admi-
ration of his friend still upon him,
