The cotto9-spinnsrs of Manchester,
England, are beginning to grow indig-
nant because American cotton does not
come up to the requisite standard OF
purity. One of them writes to the
Manchester Examiner, complaining thai
he recently took fair sample out Of
each bale of small lot of American
cotton, purchased at GIld. u pound,
and, having "scutched" it, found that
in 100 pounds there were fity-nine
pounds Of sand and forty-one pounds OF
cotton. A second trial Of some of the
worst cotton in the lot proved q loss OF
61l2 per cent. The charge is serious
one, but it would bo still more serious il

is common practice in England. AT
present, the courts OF that country are
busily engaged in tho trial OF suits
against all sorts of dealers in provisions
and groceries for adulteration. The
English, therefore, cAn hardly expect
10 monopolize the business.

A TERRIBLE DIsAsTER.-A Scranton
lPa.) correspondent writes to the New
York Herald:
A thrilling catastrophe occurred this
afternoon on the hills, about FIVE miles
from this city, at place called Kuhn's
Patch. A large number of women and
girls from Scranton we're on the hills
gathering berries, when storm came
up from the South, and they rushed to
an untenanted building to take shelter
from the down-pouriDg. rain. About
forsy.one women and children found
room in the old house, while seven were
obliged to stand outside under the storm.
With the increasing storm. the sheets Of
fire began to descend. the lightning be-
coming more vivid and the pcals of
thunder seeming to advance from dis
tant caverns, until the old building be-
gan to tremble. At length, a lightning
shaft, more vivid than any that had pre-
ceded it, descended among the unhappy
group of women and girls, killing two
Of them and scorching in frightful
manner four others, tearing the flesh off
their limbs and producing heart.sick-
enipg scene among the panic stricken
women. For some time, even those
who had not been toachcd by tho eiec-
trio fire were paralyzed By the appalling
sight they had seen, aud were unable to
render any assistance.
The groans Of those fatally Injured
and the six other suffering victims were
leartrending, anil the utter helplessness
OF the poor women and girls were pitia-
ble. Word was sent eventually to Scran-
ton, aud with the utmost despatch mes
sengers were sent over the hill to the
scene Of the disaster, with wagons, me-
dical attendance and bedding on which
to convey the dead aud wounded to the
city. Two of the women that stood
outside the shed said that the excite.
ment was SO intense when they left the
shocking scene. that they could not
lear to go into the old house, nor 70
hear the moars Of those within, who
were suffering from the most cxcruciat-
ing agony. The road leading from
Scranton to the sad scene is almost i'm
passable, being completely Hooded at
several points.

up the results thus: 'srhe number Of
oranges organized to-day is ninety.six.
Great enthusiasm in the order is mani
tested, and much important business has
been transacted. Among the items are
the appointment OF committee Of three
to report at the October meeting on the

OF crop reports; the issuing of circular

THE PIEDMONT FAcronY.-There nre
few enterprises, great and email, pro-
jected in the interest of Grcenville
County, that we watch the development
Of with more sincere interest, than the
Piedmont Factory, Colonel Ii. P. Ham
NETT President, from the fact OF the
great benefits to be bestowed upon our
own immediate people, viz: the giving
of employment to- such Il large number
of persons, the consumption Of much
raw material, thus giving it double
value, and the strengthening and foster
ing of establishments Of like character
in this part of the State, for which our
section has such abundant natural
wealth.
In conversation, few days since, with
the President, we learned thnt he is max
ing satisfactory progress towards his en-
terprise. Persons are now at work near
the site, making bricks, which are ra,
pidly being manufactured. Contracts
have been made with competent persons
to put in dam, and to erect saw and
planning mills and carpenters machine
shops. Stone abutments will at once be
constructed for the dam, and the stone
for the canal and the basement Of the
main building is now being obtained
from the quarry. The contractors are
oil at work, each with good force, and
there are now 100 hands at work on the
place.
Col. MaHmc.: has also ordered a
,, water wheel and mill machinery, and
| expects it to reach here in few days,
and feels assured the mill will be run
ming in one month from this time. This
is most gratifying, and is an index that
the hum and whirr of the factory will
be heard before great many months
Col. Hammett also informs US that he
has made arrangements with Col. Doda-
mead, OF tho Greenrilic and Columbia
Railroad, for the location Of IL depot and
station one-half mile from the factory,
which will be known as "Picdmont."

ORANGES IN NIEGISIA.-T fol-
lowing statement is made by the Wash
ington correspondent Of the New York
Times:
4 movement has been ineugurateI to
extend the farmers oranges to Virginia.
The farming community make great
complaint in that State, because the
property employed in farming has to
pay one-half Of one per cent. taxes,
while persons and companies dealing in
money either pay no taxes. or pay only
on their net income. y series Of So
called commercial circles have boon or-
gaEized, whose purpose it appears to be
to destroy competition in cities and
towns other than those selected by them
ut which one OF The members Of the cir
Gle does oil the bidding for all the buy
crs. Tho consequence is, that the farm
ers complain Of great oppression. Ap-
piications have been made to the officers
oi the Grange Association to extend the
oranges to Virginia. Inasnuch ms fifty
eight per cent. OF the population Of the
State IS engaged IL agriculture, it is con-
silercL probable that the establishment
OF the oranges may have some effect
upon the coming election.

brought is $1,000. The interest on the
bonds is payable semi-annually, aud it
having been paid up to January /, 1878,
the sum stated fell due Oh the 1st nit.
Messrs. Wm. j. West, a. r. McDavid

ceedings few days since; and the Com

Mr.. Allen and his sureties. for forfeiture
OF the Treasurer's bond. The taxes
having been collected for the payment
of this interest from the people, the
failure of the County Treasurer to ap-

A HEROIC DIVERSION correspond
ent Of the New York Herald describes
Gen. Sherman at Cape May, arrayed in
his bathing suit. The modern Ajax is
represented IN musing attitude, busily
engaged tracing in the sand with his big
toe. The Philadelphia Bulletin pauses
before this statuesque beauty, and thus
comments:
"Unhappily, diagram Of the figures
described by that military toe is not
supplied, and We ore at loss to know
whether the General was explaining to
his friend, III his usual manner, the stra-
tegic positions of the armies during one
of tho battles of the Franco-P -Prussian
war, or was merely giving an outline
sketch of the.fortifcations around Chat
tanooga. II the American people have
ut the head CT their armies n genius who
caa scratch of plan OF campaign with
his toc-nail. they ought to know it,"
Gen. Tecumsch was not thinking Of
either Paris or Chattanooga. He con
centrated the ful!ness OF his mind upon
his toe, i'll order to demonstrate some
new preyarication about tho burning Of
Columbia. All Of his previous false.
hoods about that burning were written
upon sand, to be washed away by the
high tide Of truth. Tecumsch may
strive to make the world believe that he
is tocing the mark. but nobody will be.
lieve him, though the saud be furnished

the weight OF the ''patient" in pounds,
aud the quotient will be the required
length in feet. This rule is simply OBJ
tanned by supposing, (as was found to be
actually the case in one instance, that
2. 240 pounds of shock is sufficient to
cause fracture in any case; thus, by this
