worthily served his flock. He had
been in bad health for some months,
during the whole winter We believe:
and about three or four weeks since
feeling an ardent desire to see his
deeply afflicted relatives; (edr. Matthias
Barre's family, ventured to make a
visit to this place. He WAS scarcely
able to endure the fatigue, and from
that time was confined, after returning,
to his home. Mr.. Berry vas universal

character, sterling charity and chris
tiau excellence, aud his death will Gre

The --latest Horror.

Disasters follow each other with
frightful rapidity. Scarce have all
the details of the laundering of the
Atlantic become familiar, by which
hundreds of lives were lost, when the
telegraph again flashes out, and this
time with the dreadful news Of an
earthquake at San Salvador, the capi-
tai of the Central American Republic
of that name, and by which eight
hundred persons perished and twelve
millions of property were destroyed.
1t is truly dreadful to contemplate
this wholesale destruction of human
life.
The year 1872 was one full Of fear
full accidents and disasters, by land
and sea, and exceeded that of previous
years, and now this year seems to bid
fair to show as ghastly record. The
city in which this horror occurred had
a population of about sixteen thousand,
and is situated at the base of the vol
cano of San Salvador. 1t is said that
Immediately after the shock, and the
terrible demolition, fire broke out,
which consumed large number Of
buildings. IN 1854, and on the 18th
of April, a similar earthquake was ex-
perienced, but not so destructive Of
life-only one hundred being killed.

H. Talley, Esq, departed this life, on
Sunday afternoon. Mr. Talley was
the eldest son of our reverend and aged
feIlow-citizen, Mr.. n. Talley. He was
born in the city Of Charleston, Deccm-
Der 25, (Christmas Day. 1929, and
died April l3, (Easter Sunday,) 1878
being in his forty.fourth year. In
1913, he graduated with distinction
at the South Carolina College, and af-
ter completing his legal studies, sue
cessfully practiced his profession in
this city for number of years. He
served two terms in the State Logisla-
ture, prior to the late war, and was
also member of the House of Repre-
sentatives during the session Of 1860
6. At the breaking out Of the war.
Mr.. T. volunteered, and remained in
active service until 1863, when his
health failed, and he was assigned to
light duty-acting as Judge Advocate
of Gen. Beauregard's military court.
He had acceptably filed the position
of Solicitor of the Fifth Circuit for
several years-until his declining
health forced him to retire. He leaves
a wife. seven children, father, two
brothers and hosts of friends to lament
his disease. His remains were follow
ed to the grave, yesterday, ky an I'M
nense concourse of sorroEing friends
and acquaintarces.-C Columbia Phe-

The Presbytefy OF South Caro-
lima.

This body met at Clinton on Mon
day, April 9th, u o'clock. P. NJ. In
the absence Of Rev. T. Ward White.
the last Moderator, the opening SER
mon was preached by Rev. Mr.. Frier-
son, from the latter part of the 18th
chapter of Matthew, beginning with
the 3lst verse. In the sermon an old
heresy Of Origen was revived, viz:
the pre-existent humanity Of the Lord
Jesus. Rev. r. 4. Fair was unani-
mously chosen Moderator.
\ call for the Pastoral services of
Rev. \. P. Nicholson was presented
from the churches Of Rocky Springs,
Lisbon and Friendship. Brother
Nicholson has made most favorable
impression upon this community, and
it is to be hoped that he will accept
the call extended to him.
Two young brethren from the SEM
mary at Columbia, Alfred i. Miller
and Ripley Jacobs, preached their
trial sermons, and after the usual ex-
aminations were licensed to preach the
gospel. The young brethren give pro-
mise of great usefulness in the vine
yard of our Lord.
Messrs. Reid and Stewart were re-
ceived under the care Of Presbytery
as candidates for the Gospel ministry.
Let us thank God and pray for more
laborers. The revised book Of disci-
plinc was adopted.
Rev. r. 4. Fair was unanimously
elected Evangelist Of the Presbytery.
Let the people hold up his hands and
encourage and support him by their
prayers and their means, and a rich
harvest Of souls for Jesus may be ex-
pected.
One Of the most pleasing features of
the session was the spirit OF brotherly
love and harmony that seemed to ami
mate the hearts of the brethren. While
there was warm discussion, there was
an entire absence Of personal animosi-
ty.-During the discussion Of the re-
port of the Committee On Foreign
Missions, Doctor Adger offered prayer
for the blessings of God upon the
work of evangelising the nations Of
the world.
The members and visitors were most
Hospitality entertained by the good
people of Clinton, and vote of thanks
to the Pastor and people was cordially
passed.
Presbytery adjourned at 5 P. NJ,
Saturday, to meet at Long Cane
Church on Thursday before the first
Sabbath in May next. L.

think he was acting out the principle

longer it will be all the better. When
a correspondent though has nothing to
write about, and occupies column in
endeavoring to convince people that he
has, it would be well for him to excr-
else temperance. Make note of this

FOR THE HERALD.
Notes from the Capital.

+ DEAR HERALD: Since the advent
of Mr.. Carswell of the 'Sons," who
was followed in a short time by Mr..
Hickman Of the ':Templars," temper
ancc has been the all-cngrossing topic
of conversation in Columbia. The
people think temperance, and look tenn
perance, and talk temperance. and read
temperance to such an extent, that |
suppose l will have to write temper
ance for this weeks Herald.
Your ConJrere$. Of the press are not
at all backward in this matter. Mr..
LaMotte Of the Carolinian has been a
"Son" 50 long. until it has become a
misnomer. He should now be called
"Daddy" Mr.. McCaw, the talent
ed editor Of the same journal, is a
Templar, as is, also, one Of the editors
of the Eceniny Herald. Mr. Selby
of the Ph@nir belongs to the "Sons." "
So you see, out Of four daily papers,
three are closely identified with the
temperance cause. This speaks well
for Columbia: and We are justly proud
of the record.
The newspaper press Of the country
exercises vast influence over public
opinion. let this influence be exert
ed in behalf Of temperance and moral
ity, and untold good will result. AL
ready the bar-kccpers are grumbling,
because Of the success which is crown
ing the efforts of the friends of tenn
perance in this city. No doubt they
have experienced quite falling off in
their receipts during the past month,
and it is earnestly to be hoped that
this will continue until they are forced
to give up their nefarious business,
The "Sons" are now holding fair
in Twins Hall, in order to fill their
depleted treasury. The hall is hand
somely ornamented with evergreens
&c, while the tables, presided over by
some of the fair daughters of Colum-
bia, groau beneath loads of cakes, ice
creams, lemonades, fruits, and all kinds
Of toys, nicknacks, &c. The fair is
being well attended and a handsome
sum will no doubt be realized.
The Supreme Court is in session,
Judge Moses presiding. Several Of
our lawyers from the up-country are
in attendance.

Tho Ice Gorge.

CoLU11BUs, Pa, Feb Sat o'clock this
evening the back wafer, occasoned by the ice
gorge at Chiekies is filling the Pennsylvania
canal and flooding its banks. About eight
inches Of water now covers the tracks of the
Pennsylvania Railroad in the vicinity of the
tunnel just west of this place The canal is
filling up and the coal on the banks being wash
ed over. Families are leaving the shores and q
disastrous flood is expected Railroad travel
via Columbia may be interrupted unless the ice
breaks away and allows the water to subside. -
The Columbia railroad and the travel bridge is
in imminent danger. If the ice holds at Column
bia it cannot be loose below, hence there is
probably no change at Port Deposit.
PoRT DEPOSIT, Feb 9.-This afternoon the
water began to rise and pour into the town at
Rock Run and the streets were soon flooded as
was also Middletown, just above. The scene of
parties moving household effects from the
threatened points were repeated with much
more excitement than heretofore The water
at o'clock was higher than at any time since
the freshet began and the alarm of the inhabi-
cred around them. The Presbyterian church
was entirely surrounded. At the new Metho-
dist church the Sunday School was compelled
to suspend its services, the pupils with great
difficulty reaching their homes. The minister
was unable to reach his residence except by
boat, and persons caught in the lower end Of
the. town had either to come by boat or take
the hill path Friendship Hotel, near the CEN
tire of the town, is completely surrounded by
water. AS yet no movement Of ice is noted or
reported from above. At o'clock the water
was still rising and the excitement increased
momentarily. The various avenues from the
river front to Main street and all the cellars
and first stories Of the houses along the river
are flooded.
AT o'clocl, the water gave evidence of sub
siding. AT midnight there is no material
change in the situation, but 1t continues slowly
to recede.

The CALICO BALL.-Next Thursday evening
will witness the social event of the winter in
the form Of the Calico Ball, and, singularly
enough, the evening is the one dedicated to ST.
Valentine. What can be more appropriate
than that the youag of either sex should eele-
brate the eve of the birth of their patron saint
for such we deem st. Valentne-in a mutual
meeting for the furtherance of the most blessed
of all the three Christian virtues, charity?
That it is intended to make the Calico Ball q
fixed institution our readers probably know,
and annually all of our leading citizens, who
attend public entertainments where dancing is
the principal feature, win assemble in CITY
Hall attired-the ladies-in the most ravishing
calico toilettes, the gentlemen in evening dress.
The music will be the best that the city can
provide; the arrangement of dances will be
such as cannot fail to be satisfactory to every
one, and the scene from the. galleries will be
one of the most brilliant ever witnessed in
Portland. The tickets will be in great demand
and the result very handsome sum for the
benefit OF one of our worthiest charities.

The CHURCHEs.-At the First Parish church
yesterday, Rev. DR.. Hill, ex-President Of Har-
ward College, preached one of the strongest
sermons ever delivered in that venerable edi-
flee. Histex was taken from Hebrew lie.
10y. He took up the guantet flung down by
late writer who said Faith is bankrupt, science
is the only dividend paying concern
and proved logically, to the satisfaction
OF his hearers that science is not vet to be con-
sidered everything; that without faith we
should be pretty apt to get shipwrecked, and
delivered some pretty severe blows at Darwin
ism.
Rev. Mir. Buck, at the Park street church, de-
livered the third sermon of his admirable series
on practical differences in religious beliefs.
At ST. Luke's Cathedral, Rt Rev. Bisbon
Nicely delivered very forcible discourse on
bringing our bodies into subsection. He re-
ferred to the approaching Lenten season and
said that for physical reasons, if for no other.
season of fasting was well for us, and gave
examples of the athletes of the ancients who
early discovered how important such a course
was for their bodily health
TIE Rev. Mr.. Gibbs and Rev. Mr. Bicknell
exchanged pnlpits yesterday. In the evening
Rev. Mr.. Bicknell delivered lecture on tenn
perance at his own chureh-the India street
Universalist-marked by the grace Of meta
phor, elegance Of diction, and aptness of Illus
tration that always marks his writings. A
crowded congregation was in attendance.
AT State street church the Rev. Mr. Scott Of
Andover, preached an excellent discourse from
the words of Job 14c, 14v., 'If man die, shall
he live again., fairly deducing from nature and
the Scriptures the proof Of the Immortality of
the soul.

committee has been engaged during the past
two days in taking testimony of Senator York
He reiteFates his statement that Pomeroy paid
him $1,000 in consideration of the promise to
vote for him for Senator. He also says that ons
~ himself, B. L. Simpson, Col johnson, j. c.
.Harton, Geo. X. Peck and Geo. c. Croather
were acquainted with the plan for exposing
Pomeroy, and that Senator elect ingalls, knew
nothing Of it till it was developed in joint CON
vention. He declined to make any direct
charges Of bribery against members Of the leg
islature, but made a statement to the commit
tee in secret session in which it is understood
he gave the names of the members whom Pom
eroy said he had bought. In referring to his
intercourse with Pomeroy previous to the re-
cent Senatorial campaign, he said he went to
Washington in January, 1872, to secure the re-
moval of the land office to Independence, and
secured said removal Though Pomeroy by
showing him the affidavit of the woman Gallon
and intimating it might be used against him in
Kansas
After finishing the examination of Senator
