Animals Love Man.

1t is perfectly natural that sman should
have unfriendly feelings toward wild beasts
and that the instinct of self-preservation
should lead him to destroy them. But it
is shocking that useful and domestic ami
mails should nemble and fly at his approach
or that they should suffer and perish
through his cruelty. We believe with the
Bishop of Chalons, that it sis crime and
sign of a wicked heart to take pleasure in
tormenting animals and making them suff-
er. 1t is, indeed, unchristian." Almost
all domestic animals are naturally Affections
ate They love man, become attached to
him, and show their feelings in ways that
are often intelligent and instructive. IT,
instead of training animals by cruelty and
abuse, man would treat them kindl, and
affectionately, he would be like the mon
archs of the golden age, the king OF nature
adored by his subjects.

I SAW EsAu KISSING KATE.
TUNE YANKEE DOODLE.

twas just about year ago,
When was down at Glo'ster,
found lass, but now alas
find that have lost her;
Pm sure never can forget,
The happy days that we saw
Before the day on which we met
Her country cousin Esau.
CuoRUs.--I saw Esau kissing Kate,
And the fact is we all three saw
For saw Esau, he saw me,
And she saw l saw Esau.
I'd rather 90 without my tea,
Or even get my head hurt,
Than ever go again to see
A Crystal Palace Concert,
For took Kitty there, and then,
Unfortunately she saw
That horridest of country men,
Her Country Cousin, Esau.
CHo. saw Esau, &c.
She introduced this man to me,
And soon behind statue,
saw what made me audlbly
Sing out, "I'm looking at you"
IT'S sad indeed to have to state
What poor unlucky me saw,
For there was Esau kissing Kate,
And Kate was kissing Esau.
Cuo. l saw Esau, sc.
went away in quite pet,
And toddled home to tea, so!
For could see that their Duet
Had put me up n tree Oh
But still my sorrow wasn't great,
When in the papers we saw
That Mr.. Esau'd married Kate,
And Kate had married Esaau.
CMo. saw Esau &c.

Mrs. McCANDLEss-We call attention
to the advertisement Of Mrs. McCandless,
published in this issue
Nothing that we can say would add to her
reputation as lady, teacher or a scholar,
for her long continued success as teacher,
and the private esteem in which she was
held by our entire community, fully attest
this, And her return to us will, we know,
be shown to be appreciated by the support
which we predict she will receive. The sub
Joined extract from the True Georgian, of a
late date, will exhibit the feelings of her
Atlanta friends towards her. The article
was written at the time of her return to this
place:
Mrs. F. A. Nc Candless.-We regret the
departure from our city of this estimable
lady and accomplished teacher. At time
like the present, when our city is fast devcl-
oping its many features of improvement,
Mrs. McCandless cannot well be spared from
the ranks of our very efficient teachers. She
has gone to reside at her old home in Cam
den, South Carolina. We wish herself and
family success through life.

since the late rains, which We learn have
been pretty general in the county. The
prospect, however, is not materially altered,
since our last report, the severe drought hav-

Coronor, but contrary to our antlclpatIons
the county is still possessed Ct its real estate

order foe the Sheriff and Coroner to show
cause why an injunction should not be is

Coroucr from selling in the meantime. The
order was granted on complaint Of the
Commissioners of Kcrshaw county, against
Sheriff aud Coroner, praying an injunction.
The defendants do not propose to show
cause on neAt Saturday, but have agreed
with the Plaintiffs to continue the c un-
til the next rcgular term of the Circuit
Court, which will eoumcace its session here
on the third Monday Of next month, when
the case will be submitted OH it's merits.

The Devil had carte blanche in regard
to the interests of the Lancaster Ledger last
week, and though proud of the position,
does not omit to say, that the crops of that
county are seriously damaged by the drought;
that while a good deal Of corn will be made,
if good seasons set in, yet not more than a
half crop of cotton will, under any circum-
stances, be made. Owing, we presume, to the
widespread influence of the said Devil, Lam
caster has been afflicted with certain noxious
nocturnal birds who drink Liver Invigorator
and Hostetters Bitters. If we arc allowed to
suggest to our neighbors, we would say tha,
however vitiated the tastes of their birds.

is high time for them to cut tho wings of
their birds, and shut them up in some house
fo,ol or other kinds, until cold water is more
appreciated. Such constant applications Of
Invigorator and Bitters would ruin the tone
of any diaphragm. Try it.

killed by lightning. He was sitting under
a small oak, known as the "black jack, al
the time of the occurrence. His wife was
sitting in their wagon, in the road, by the
side of which was Mr.. LOVE. She says
that he fell Immediately upon the fash OF
the lightning, which, strange to say, LETT no
mark whatever upon his person, Coroner
Schrock held, san inquest over the body,
which had been removed to the Town Hall,
and DR.. S. Baruch was called in to examine
the body, but was not able to say that light
ming was the cause of his death, from the ex-
ternal evidence. It therefore became ne
cessary to have the testimony of Mrs. Love,
which was as given above. Mr.. Love lost,
by fire, few months since, his dwelling,
kitchen, stable, horse, wagon, and, i'll short,
every thing; and leaves a large family with
out the means Of support. Most Of his chill
dren are small.
The colorcd Baptist Church, in process of
erection, was also blown down by the torna-
do. Some carpenters were working upon it,
when one of them heard an ominous crack,
and had barely warned the others and got
outside, before the entire structure was blown
down. We rather regard this as a fortu-
nate circumstance, because the building was
very, unsafe, and great loss of life might
have resulted, had it been put up in a care
less manner, and used as place Of worship,
inasmuch as the worshippers are very ex-
pressive in their emotions, and might have
shaken it down during their reviyals.
Several trees were snapped off, a few fen
ces blown down, and the corn Frustrated
in many places,ss and materially damaged,
but we have heard of no serious accidents
other than those above chronicled.

SUNDAY School CoNvENTIoN-MR.
EDITOR We had Sunday School Conveu.
ton on Friday and Saturday of last week.
Our intention and desire was to make it a
body representing the Sabbath schools of
Kershaw county, and We were especially
anxious to see our country friends, and take
counsel with them. We were therefore dis
appointed to see that so few of them found
it convenient to meet with US. Although
we were few in number, we had very in
tercsting meeting, and we hope and believe
that good was accomplished, and that the
Convention marks the beginning Of a
new era in the history of the Sabbath school
cause in Kcrshaw county. That cause is one
of great Importance, and occupies con-
spicuous place in the Christian world at the
present day. The work is one that must
impress and interest all who engaged in it..
All, therefore, who attended the Convention
feel that they have been pro6tcd. and desire
to see others interested in the work, ,.-,..
Capt. w. J.. DePass was chosen President
of the Convention, apd presided with great
efficiency and to the satisfaction of all. The
delegates from the various, portions Of the
county gave verbal reports of the Sabbath
school work at their respective churches.
The partial survey of the field, thus afforded,
was encouraging, in that it showed that some
neighborhoods arc alive to the Importance of
the Sabbath school, while at the same time,
all were impressed with the fact that, there
is n large territory entirely unoccupied. A
member of the convention stated that he had
made an estimate, that there were two thous-
and persons in our county of a proper age to
attend the Sabbath school, and of these that
not more than four hundred did so.
The convention resolved, that arrange
ments should be made to canvass the coun-
try, and endcavor to rouse the people to the
importance of establishing and maintaining
schools in every neighborhood. An Execu-
tive Committee was appointed to carry out
this resolution, and their intention is to call
mass meetings at times and places of which
full notice will be given, and send out
speakers of experience and ability, to ad-
dress the people, and stir shem up to the
work.
This is the most important practical step
taken by the convention, and We hope the
plan may be thoroughly carried out.
On the second day of the convention we
had several able and interesting addresses
upon various subjects connected with the
object of the meeting, and appropriate reso'
lutions were adopted.
Upon the whole, we had gratifying
meeting, and hope to hold another session of
our convention before long at some church in
the country. SECRETARY.

SHALL WE HELP RELIEVE THE SUFFERERS
The great calamity that has bvfalen the peo-
pie Of Chicago is calling upon the sympathy
of the whole people. All the cities Of the
Union are sen1iag money, fooG and clothing
Subscription lists have been opened in Lon
don and ore banking house of that city tele-
graphed SIS. 600 to the relief Of the nnfortun-
ate sufferers. San Francisco, Sacramento
and other cities and towns in this State are
raising money for this purpose. The people
Of Tuolumne should contribute their mite to-
ward the suffering inhabitants. There are
few persons that cannot contribute dollar,
If the people of the county will generally do
this very respectable sum can be raised
that will not be missed by the donors and
will do great good III this hour of distress and
woe. We suggest that the citizens Of Sonora
meet this evening at the Court House to take
some steps for the purpose of raising funds.
We know that many are anxious that some
thing SHOULD be done, S. S. Bradford ESQ., Of
fers to furnish his large and commodious hall
free for any purpose that committee may
deem best, for dance or other public gath
ering to aid in raising means for this great
charity. All that is needed is start, soon as
IN organized effort is made the liberality Of
our people will show that they symp:thize
deeply with the sufferers.
