NEwDERRT BAPTIST CHCRcH.-Wc are
Informed that the Rev. John Stout, of Dar-
lington, S. G has cCnscnt"d to supply the
pulpit Of this church for several months,
commencing on the fourti, Sabbath Of this
month. This young minister comes 10 our
community under the most pleasing circum-
stances. Though quito young man, he en-
joys the confidence and love of his brethren
wherever he has been. Having preached
here last year, he seems to have compressed
the members of this church by his bright
christian character, and the evidence of 4
high order of mind-that they have sought
him out to brir him back. We wish hiD
an abundant success in his labors here-and
shall extend him most cordial greeting.

CH1LLs AND FEvER.-We are grati6ed to
announce that Dr. Pratt has a pill Of his
own manufacture which We are satisfied, if
properly taken, will. to use an expression
among the boys, knock chills higher than
kite, and we are right down pleased Of it
nay, we rejoice and are exceeding glad--
for we have had bitter experience OF this
thing called chills and is antidote qninine.
We know, something about chills. for We
have been Individually shaken and person
all, mixed ap with them. Lets see--therc's
the ouoridian and the terii4n, tho everyday
rEsil, the chill two days together with one
iftermission, the third dar chilli and chill
day. We won't attempt chilly article,
70, We don't know much about the subtle
causes, nor the mysterious play Of aliintics
that arc at work TO produce the shaking
seue ; the doctors themselves, We think
differ, but We are jubilsnt over the fact that
Dr.. Pratt has at last discovered a specific 10
keep orr people from shaking themselves
% pieces.
DAScIxG-Exceptins the Can-can, and
dances of that class, We have always recog-
nized dancing as among the 6nc arts-fo.
it gives, grace, symmetry and ease ofpoise
and elasticity Of step. Dancing is an e1-
cecdingly healthful amusement, when tenn
perately INDUCED in, especially for chill
drcn and young persons as it developes
muscular strength, and gives an agreeable
carriage. As there is time for all things
we think the time for this amusement is
youth and not old age. 1t serves its pur-
pose then by making young men and wo-
men graceful And to this end we think it
not unadv isabe to teach young children 10
dance, and inform them Of the purpose it
serves. Our citizens might readily attain
the services q: Iil Kennedy of Columbia,
a colored man, who has quite a reputation
for s:ncss in teaching children the art. DE
is qualified ta instruct in the Laacers, Prince
I'm perial Quadrille, Polka, Mazourka, the
German, Cuban, Horse Guards, Spanish dance,
and round dances of all kinds.
