kept to be looked at as thing Of beauty, he
implores that it be restored to him.
GRArEs-A charming young friend, who
wears dimity and lace, and resides at
Dove Cot, S. G., whose bower is made
redolent by the flowers which grow under
the mystic touch Of her fingers, and whose
atmosphere is illumined by the sunshine Of
! her smile, and the melody and cnchan.ment
whereof is the sweetness Of her voice, will
accept our thanks for basket full of lus-
cious grapes. How beautiful were the rich
purple custers-and how generous their yield
Of ruby nectar.
! Why don't all the ladies cultivate the vine.
and from its flowing vintage, supply the lords
of creation, if per force Of the customs and
habits of life, or the cravings Of nature, they
must, shall or will drink intoxicating drinks,
with such a beverage as does enrich their
blood, and not poison it as must the vile alco-
! holic admixtures.
Our district is very friendly to the culture
of the grape. The gray lands and the sunny
| hill sides are abundant.
The variety Of grape sent Us was the Ca>
tawba.
TURDULENcE.-On Monday afternoon the
| ncighborhood round ana about the hotel was
made the scene of as turbulent an exhibition
as was ever perhaps before witnessed, and
the like Of which we hope and believe never
will be again seen. An attempt was made
by the republican peace breakers to seize the
body OF q colorcd Reformist, who had acci-
dentally but honestly imbibed a little too
much whiskey, and who in an innocent ex-
Luberance desired 10 obtain an imaginary
satisfaction Of one Of the opposite faction.
We give the latter all credit however for ma
king every effort TO avoid difficulty. The
parties we're separated, the l;quored man
led to his house, and the other gong his way
in peace, and here would have ended the
matter, but great mob gathering, rushed 10
the house Of the colored reformist and would
have made an end of him perhaps, but for
the timely interference Of Sheriff Paysinger
and other citizens. Since the days Of nullif-
cation ne never saw such an excitement, and
even then never such spirit of infuriation
as was shown by this colored mob. 1t is
wonder that it did not end seriously, and that
it did not, is owing altogether to the great
exertions of citizens who would maintain the
peace. We believe that many of the more
sensible coloreu men who saw the danger
which might come Of collision, aided ma
terialy to quell the tumult.
4 D1scovERY.-Thc DISCOVERIES in science,
in geology, on top Of the earth and beneath,
fade into moth ingness when compared TO 4
recent discovery made by the local Of this
paper. Oh that ne had the talents, the wis
dom, the energy of Pickwick, that he
might astonish the learned societies. In his
researches few days since, he discovered q
man who never, never, never took & news
paper in his life-thas is in the recognized
and acceptable way. And this man boasts of
it. Insult to injury. Little did the local dream
Of such great deprarty; that there existed
such creature; that the green earth could
sustain such nonentity; but alas, it is
fact. He lives, and moves, and has being,
is like unto other men. and talks like book;
is rersed in the views Of the day, can tell the
politics of every paper in the State, and
many other things which can only be known
to those who read carefully. How could it
he possible? thought this local, where docs
this strange man get his information? and
asked. His heart-a very tender one-was
gricTcd to learn that this man borrowed his
reading, had been doing so for a life timc
Is it not dreadful? Will St. Peter open the
gates to this man? Never. In vain will
he knock. You paid not for your reading
in the lower world, will be told him; you
particularly, had no regard for the prosper
ity or happiness of the proprietors of the
Newberry Herald than whom no better, or
more thorough. or hard working, or better
reformists, ever existed. Be gone, vanish,
vamose, absquatulate, eYaporate, melt, git
up and git! No defrauder Of the printer can
enter here. The local says he would like to
put the regular and we'll known red cross
mark on the forehead of this rara avis, that
he might not only be known of all men, but
that the mark might easily and quickly aid
ST. Peter in his Identification.
