CIOSING EXERCISES.

The closing exercises Of the Collegiate lnstl-
tute commenced on Monday evening last, and
ended on Wednesday evening. During that
time great number Of persons from town, as
we'll as from distance, were present, and en-
loved the occasion as one of the most pleasant
that ever took place within the walls of the
old University. The examinations on Tuesday
and Wednesday were creditable to both stu
dents and Professors. We regret that going to
press on yesterday, "Wednesday, prevented us
from giving an account of the proceedings
We propose to give full and lengthy account
in our issue of next week.

AMENDE HoNoRABLE-The editors of the
Abbeville Medium confess their injudicious
haste in ascribing to the white people of An
derson County any remissness of duty towards
Gen. MCGOWAN in the recent election, and
tender an ample apology'in the annexed para
graph. A full and free pardon is granted to
the unlucky offenders, who will instantly re-
sumo their wonted popularity among the good
people of Anderson, and can always expect to
receive a cordial hospitality throughout her
borders:
In our issue of November 11th, we did the
people of Anderson county great injustice in
saving that they were false to McGowan. We
made the statement on information we believed
to be correct, but before the official count OF
the vote polled had been made, and We are
pleased to make correction. The people oil
Anderson gave MCGOWAN majority OF one
thousand and eighteen votes. A large number
of colored men Supported him, and the ''white
vote was the largest ever polled in Anderson
county, and it was cast almost entirely for Gen
McGowan. who was the favorite candidate OF
the white people," The General and his
friends appreciate the style in which he was
supported, and, as the LntelHgenccr suggests
the editors of the Medium take off their hats
and apologize to the men of Anderson for be-
ing "too TASTY in casting undeserved aspersions
upon their character as trccmcn and good citl
zens, who worked earnestly and faithfully fol
the right"

ding to the Union Herald, was to pardon BE-
tween fifteen and twenty convcts on Monday

The INAUGURATION.

Arrangements were made for the Inaugural
tion of Gov. Chamberlain on Tuesday last, and
we may safely conclude that the reins of gov
ernment are now entrusted to his hands, 1t was
stated prior to the inaugural that his address
would fully define the views and recommends
tions of the administration upon State affairs.

The DESTRUCTION OF TUscUMBIA, Ala.
We are permitted to make the following ex-
tract from q private letter, giving some partic-
ulars of the dreadful storm and consequent
suffering at Tuscumbia, Alabama, where many
precious lives were ended and much valuable
property destroyed in the twinkling of an eye
almost, by the fierce visitation of the storm
king. The sad effects of this terrible destruc-
ton have awakened sympathy throughout the
country, and contributions are being forwarded
to the destitute and suffering population of that
ill-fated city:
FLORENCE ALA, Nov. q, 1874.
We have had great calamity in the city
across the river. Tuscumbia, five miles from,
us, was struck last Sabbath eve, about o'clock,
by a terrific hurricane which, in five minutes,
some say two, prostrated one-third of the dwell
lings, and killed eleven people. One entire
family, consisting of the parents and four chill.
dren, were instantly killed by the falling OF
the house upon them. Another family, con-
sisting of lady and four children, were. COW
cred by the ruins of their house, and the
mother and two sweet little girls killed. The
other two escaped-no one knows how. An
aged widow was so bruised by the falling OF
her house that she died in few moments.
The city presents scene of desolation that
one must see fully to appreciate. In one-thrd
of the town not house is standing complete;
not tree, fence, or anything else but shows
marks of most terrible violence. The Catholic
Church is PROSTATE, the Episcopal has its root
stove in, and leans over, two mills were carried
away, fair ground buildings, railroad bridge
and new female institute building which had
not been occupied but ten weeks. The train
came on, and the engineer, not knowing that
the bridge was gone, ran the whole train into
the Creek but fortunately he was going slow
and mirabile dictu, no one was hurt. Our
sympathes have been most painfully excited
all this week We went over and saw the ruin,
and offered what aid we could. Florence has
sent over 5000 to their relief. delivered a
thanksgiving address yesterday in which !
made allusion to the disaster, and endeavored
to stimulate the spirit of gratitude in our own
bosoms for our gracious deliverance. The
wind went in rotary motion, and was about
one-fourth of mile wide. 1t seemed to travel
with a ricochct motion, sometimes on the
ground, then up in the air and then down
again. l hope may never see the like again.

Temperance Fanatics.

This is the title given to those who
have recently crusaded against rum.
The title is conferred chiefly by those
who take "a little wine for their stom-
ach sake," or a good deal of it for their
palate's sake. Already anti-temperance
men cry out 1.-THE Woman's Temper
ance excitement is subsiding. thought
there would be nothing permanent"
But the excitement of the Day of Penti-
cost lasted only one day, yet who will
say there were no permanent results.
For the next ten thousand years the
good effect of the recent movement will
be felt. Within few months past
eight hundred rum-sellers have givenup
their business and professed faith in
Christ. Twenty.fi five hundred grog-
shops have been closed. Two hundred
and fifty western townships are entirely
free from rum-selliDg establishments.
fifteen million of dollars less of revenue
from rum sellers have been paid at
Washington than In the same time last
year. When Pres. Grant was told of
this he said " Very well, put the tax
on something else." So say we. We
cannot afford to have herum traffic 60 on
though the trafficers should pay ten dol
lars Of revenue where they pay one
Christian at Work.

upon the poor CANNES has broken out

would be better to have every dog kill

and the young ladies who used to take
a promenade with fancy cur by their
side, have become alarmed and the dear
pets have been put away. Whenever
a young lady showed such marked af-
fection for this creature, 1t was an evi.
dence that her love had gone to the
dogs. Hence forth they must bestow
their attention upon some more worthy
object, and the change will be a benefit
to some of them.

one built by John Roach for the Pacif-
ic Mail Steam ship Company and she is
intended to trade between San Fran
cisco and China.
The "City of Peking" aud the "City
of Toxic" are entirely the product of
Pennsylvania material and workman

vanian iron, at Pennsylva nian ship

Haydenville Savings Bank, with large
amounto funds, and also Loomis' Hotel
were swept away.
AT Leejs, Mr.. Warmers button fac
tory was swept entirely away, taking
canal railroad bridge in its course. The
riorning train from New Haven was
stopped at Hampton.
The Goshen Reservoir covered 150
acres of ground at an average depth of
80 feet. 1t was drawn upon In dry times
for the supply Of the mills at Williams
burg, Haydenville, and Florence. The
reservoir was constructed about twelve
years ago, in order to afford reliable.
supply of water for the various factories
on Mill River, which is one Of the most
tickle and uncertain of streams, liable
alike to floods and almost utter drOuth
1t was built by a company of capitalists
who were interested In the various
manufacturing genterpriseson on the stream,
and has caused them apprehensions OF
disaster several times.
Last year, however, it was repaired
at a heavy expense, and since then has
been supposed to be, until now, toler-
ably secure, although known to be
leaky.

whose loss is positively known though
bodies of all are not yet recovered.
Bodies constantly are being found, and
in some caess those of persons who
were not supposed to he lost. 1t is ut
terly impossible yet to give detailed
estimate of losses, but the total loss
must far exceed one million dollars.
Williamsburg, the principal locality
named in the above dispatches is post
village of Hampshire county, Mess, 90
miles north west of Boston. 1t has a
population of between 1000 and 5000.
1t is busy manufacturing place, being
concerned in the production of iron cast
ings, machinery, edged tools, carriages,
woolen goods, and other articles. Leeds
is post-office in the same county
Haydenvile is small post village also

west by railroad from NOrthamton.]

INCEyDIARY.

A most dastardly attempt
was made on Thursday night
to destroy the new photo
graph gallery of j. F. Beltz,
On Bankway, by saturating
the woodwork with coal oil
and setting fire to it. Had
the fire not been fortunately
discovered in time, the gal
lery, Clinton Bretney's, Mrs
Esch's and J. W. Rauden-
bush's Valley House, would
certainly have been destroy
ed, as the wind was blowing
quite a gale at the time. The
firewas noticed by the freight
train hands who gave the
alarm, and drover Smith and
others hurried to the spot
and succeeded in putting
out the flames. We are in
favor of law and order, but
could the sneaking, bastard
ly coward, who made this at
tempt be discovered, we
could utter a hearty Amen
on seeing him dangle from
the limb of a tree; a human
fiend who can so wantonly
place life and property ir
jeopardy, deserves no Other
fate.

Pennsylvania opened at 499s, fell off

settled to 492s, at which it closed after
the regular hours of business. United
