WADE HAMPTON Of South Carolina, for

would settle down more quietly than otherwise
aud the prospects OF peace would be thereby
greatly promoted. 1t could not influence tho

desired the Governor TO lend his influence to the

Manhood in B0yhOOd.

MIR. EDIToR,-Mr. Luther W. Kennedy, re-
siding in East Jefferson, was severely injured
few days since while in the woods, accompa-
MED by two of his boys, Frank K. and Ed
ward, whose respective ages are thirteen aud
eleven.
1t seems that Mr.. K. was in the act of fall
ing tree. The tree taking a wrong cant
lodged in another tree, and while he was try
ing to remove the dfficulty,he slipped and fell
TO the ground and was held down by the tree.
Mr.. K. could not have lived long enough for
his boys to procure assistance, and the little
boys saw that death would be the conse-
quence if immediate relief could not be afford
ed. So with great earnestness they set them
selves at work, and in a short time they sue
ceeded in extlicating their father by digging
away from under the log, the log being so
heavy that they could not remove it by lev
ers. By good management they succeeded in
getting him on to the sled, and in few mo-
ments landed him safely at home. So much
for true bravery and a sure manifestation of
of true Manhood in Boyhood. We Learn that
Mr.. K. is now doing well.

About four o'clock this morning the house of

hail ragged furiously at the time; the fire bell
was rung, and the inhabitants collected as soon
as possible but were unable to save anthing ex-
cept bookcase, containing papers, and car
pet Capt. Emerson was carried to the house
OF his next neighbor, DR.. Merrill. The house
was situated on one of the best locations in the
village, on the road leading to the Shakers,
and if the adjacent roofs had not been we'll
protected with snow the fire would have ex-
tended further. The house was one of the old
est in town, and the villagers regret that anoth-
er old landmark is gone. There is much SYM
patty for Capt. Emerson, who is quite feeble
from advanced age. He has been one of the
most public spirited men in the place, and at
all times has been ready and earnest to do all
that he could to connect your city with this
village by rail, a result which he has rejoced
at with unusual satisfaction. 1t is understood
that there was no insurance

DIR. T. r. LEEs.-There are many persons,
honest and consistent friends of Temperance
who have of late years complained that the le-

ton to the neglect of the moral side of the
question. We are very certain that all such
persons will be gratifed to learn that Dr. F.
r. Lees, the distinguished English reformer
has consented, at the earnest solicitation of
many of our prominent citizens, to repeat his
address of last Sabbath evening on Thursday
evening of this week, at the First Baptist
Church.
As DR.. Lees sails for England on Saturday,
this will be the last opportunity to hear him.
His address Sunday evening is spoken Of as a
most able and exhaustive exposition of the
great laws of life, entirely free from the plati-
tudes which have become so current on the
Temperance platform. We are certain that
the new and beautiful church now opened for
the first time except for purely religious SER
vices will be filed on Thursday evening.
