NEwBERRY FEMALE. .AcADEXY.-Prof. A.
P. P,fer, the accomplished principal of this
Seminary, commenced his Spring Session on
Tuesday, with ! promising array of young
lady pupils, notwithstanding the wretched
weasbe: lately experienced. Long may he
continue his successful sessions, and open
and close as pleasantly and proftably as in
the past. The advantages offered by course
Of instruction under Prof. P, and bis able
assistants, are very many, and parents are
invited to consider them. We are pleased TO
note that the amiable and intelligent instruc-
tress in the primary department, Miss Fannie
LeayeN, and Prof. Werber, in the musical
department, arc with Pros Pifer in his excel

THE METHODIST congregation of this sec
ton. as also a portion Of the circuit, were
preached to on several occasions during the
past week, and en:the Sabbath, by the Rev.
A. n. Chrizberg. of Darlington Station,
and with much profit. Mr.. Chritzberg Is
one of the most eloquent, impressive and
feeling preachers in the Conference, and the
congregation and those Of the community
who were privileged to listen to him on
those occasions. will hold US up in the ex-
preston Of the high esteem IN which we re-
gard him. His discourse on Sabbath night
was on the sinful prayer Of the Psainlst,
"Oh, that had the wings Of u dove, that
might fee away and be at rest" aud forciby
were all the points Of that beautiful and
practical subject e!ucidated.
On Sabbath also the congregation were
pleased to have the presence OF the Rev.
Sidi Browne, the efficient agent Of the Co.
lumbia Female College, who is travelling for
the advancement Of that institution, an in
stitution which will prove. by the blessing of
God, q power in the Church. We are pleased
to say that the College opened under hatter-
ing prospects.
