Loss BY FIRE.-We regret to learn
that the Peyton residence, belonging
to Mr.. H. 2. Cant, at Boiling Springs,
was entirely consumed by fire on Mon.
day morning last, about 8 o'clock, and,
bat for the timely information given
by trusty colored man, named Geo.
Jones, his entire family would have
perished in the flames. as he discovered
it in time for them to make their Ga.
cape. His store was also consumed.
but we believe he succeeded in saving
most of his stock. The fire, it is amp.
posed, originated from some defect in
q stoye.pipe attached to his cook room.

THE TRANSIT OF VENUs.-The cur.
rent year will become notable one IN
the annals of science. because of the
phenomenon occurring on the 9th Of
December. which is known to astrono-
mers as the transit of Venus. More
than 100 years have elapsed since the
last occasion Of this transit. Another
will happen in 1882, for. according to
the laws which govern the respective
motions of Venus and the earth. the
transits, when they do happen, occur
in couples at comparatively short in.
tervnls; but there will then be no other
transit until the year 2O04. The pho.
nomenon alluded TO is the passage of
the planet Venus between the enrth
and tho sun. in such position
with regard to the earth's orbit that
Venus is seen to move like ronnd
black spot over the suns face. The
importance of this phenomenon, in o
scientific poiut of view, may be- judged
from the fact that it affords astrono
mers the best means of measuring the
distances Of the heavenly bodies, aid
of ascertaining their weight and di-
menslons.

a very late number Of Halls Journal
Of Health contains an article in which
the writer says that ''enrly rising, in
civilized society, always tends to short.
on life." From the earlier days OF our
country the idea has come down of
"early to bed, early to RISE" This
doubtless once held good, but now n
large part of our work is done in the
evening, and with many it is the oaly
time for social opportunities, aud with
others for mental recreations; this be-
ing the case, early rising is out of the
question, and is really Unnecessary.
BY setting mp lato and rising early, is
often. as Hall states. followed by nerv.
onsness, hasty temper, aud other
things which iujure the stamina Of

The Cause Why.
Before out neighbor "passed into

Of this place are il a aourishing
copdition. and conducted by able
aud efficient teachers. No more
truthful sentence was ever penned
BY man than the following written
BY Chancellor Kent TIE parent
who sends his son into the world
uneducated, defrauds the commu-
nifty Of lawful citizen and be-
queaths to it a nuisance" These
words should be deeply impressed
upon the mind Of every parent,
and never let your children have il
to say, as an excuse for their igno-
rance, my parents never sent me

good schools and competent teach
ers, We should give our children
the full benefit Of them, and not
