Release Of KimptOn.

Release Of Kimpton.
A Boston dispatch of the 30th ultimo
conveys the information that the requistion
of the Governor of South Carolina upon the
Governor of Massachusetts for the surrender
of Hiram H. Kimpton, has been refused by
Governor Rice. The Attorney-General sub
mitted his opinion of the case to the Cover
nor on Thursday, in which he cited numer-
GUS facts and precedents of action in similar
cases where the discretion of the Executive
had been exercised and the warrant for the
surrender of the alleged fugitive was refused.
A dispatch of the same date, from Spring
field, Mass, says:
"On receipt of telegram from Boston,
stating that the Governor would refuse to
surrender Kimpton, the latter was discharged
by the police court of the city, by which ne
had been held on merely nominal charge.
He is now at liberty"

Letter from SherandO.

SHERANDo, VA, March 3Oth 1878.
EDS. SPEcTAToR:-Your correspon-
dent had the pleasure of being one of a
large audience that assembly at Noun
tain View school house on last plight,
for the purpose of hearing lecture on
the subject of temperance, delivered by
Rev. Mr.. Yarbrough. The speaker ex-
hibited great earnestnees in the good
cause, speaking for an hour or more,
and holding the undivided attention of
his audience the whole time.
Some of our old topers'are quite puz-
zled in trying to find out how such an
uncompromising teetotaler as the spea-
ker, could have acquired such an init
mate knowledge of such places as John
Peers, Kinney's, Hilbert's, and
Scherer's.of your town and Jefferson's of
Waynesboro!
In closing his address the Rev. Gen.
tlemen invited remarks from any one
IN the audience who chose to make
them; whereupon hoary headed gen.
tieman OF progressing appearance rose,
ana In lew remarks advocated total
abstlnence-saying that from respon-
slole place In the church and society, he
had, in the prime of his life, been drag.
ged to the very verge of drunkard's
grave. For eight years he had not known
what sober breath was. But he thank
ed God, that earnest temperance men
had found him and now, after a lapse
OF eighteen years he holds the enemy
completely at bay, having him now un-
der his control.
May the good cause prosper.
A short time since Alexander Bridge,
VINO lives six miles above here, lost a
lamb or two, and some chickens, He
took bis dogs out one morning to hunt
the pllferer, and, but a short distance
from home, freed a wildcat. Getting him
out OF the tree. the dogs killed him and
Mr.. B. found that the cat had small
collar about his neck with chain at
taehed. Some one coming up at the
time recognized the animal as having
been pet of a gentleman at Weyer's
Cave. The little rascal had escaped and
travelled about 80 miles.
Rev. j. N. Lockridge has sold his
farm to Mr.. H. Baker and leased the
farm of Jacob Wisler. He will give
possession shortly.
Our school is getting on finely. Third
month just closed.
Virginia I. Works in full blast. They
are now running out seven and one half
tons per day. The iron made at this
furnace is malleable from the ''pig."
Wheat is looking remarkably well.
The farmers are almost ready for corn
planting.
The weather has been so beautiful that
those who are given to angling, have
opened the season quite successfully
having taken large numbers of fine fish.
Mrs. Gregory is still improving in
health. Mrs. Froxells health is very
little better A, A. A.

For the SPECTATOR
The CLOSING EXERCISES of the
Broad Head school-Mr. Theodore HI.
White, teacher, and Mr.. Wallace Nc
Clure, assistant teacher-took place at
the school-house on the evening of the
22nd instant, and were witnessed by the
parents of the children and a large
number of invited guests, all of whom
were evidently interested to an unusual
degree.
The programme comprised the read
ing of the report Of the scholarship of
the pupils, and a rather full list of dec
lamations, short dramatic compositions,
tableaux, valedictory, together with an
address by Mr.. White on education, and
occupied the time from until 10 o. clock,
P. M.
While no one of these parts was
lacking in merit, considering the youth
of most Of the performers, the following
were particularly applauded:
The Silent Protector, dramatic.
A Hard Name, dialogue.
Courtship and Matrimony, in two
scenes.
A Country Aunt's First Visit to the
City, dramatic.
Mrs. Caudle's Curtain Lecture, dra
matte.
Talking Latin, dialogue.
The Young Mans First Drink, tab
leau.
The Gamblers Warning, tableau.
The Dancing Dutchman, dramatic.
Glass in school, one of the principal
actors, a very small boy, little Willie,
being highly applauded.
The pleasure of the entertainment
was heightened by music from the
Greenville Band and school choir, as
well as by the presence and smiles of
some of Augustus most lovely ladies'
We also noticed that a number of the
latter volunteered their assistance in
the acting, singing, &c.
At the conclusion of the interesting
scenes, all who had witnessed the same
returned to their homes, satisfied that
during the past term the efforts of both
preceptor and scholars had been crown
ed with success. Tue. o. HEE.

The daughter of Baron Willy Won Roths-
child, of Frankfort on the Main, is be-
trothed to wealthy banker of that city
named Max Goldschmidt. The bride
groom, who has not been noted for a

law that.the, IA ebrew rites and ceremo.
MES shall be strictly enforced in his
household. Baron Willy Won Roths-
child is firm believer in the faith of his

FOREIGN NEws.-A further explana-
tien in vindication of the British gov
ernment's policy was made in Parlia-
ment Friday. There was great depres-
sion in the London stock market owing
to the warlike appearance of things. At
times the market was in state of pan
ic.
Lord Derby's resignation has caused
no surprise at st. Petersburg, where it
was expected.
The Russian Gen. Ignatieff's first in
terview with the Austrian chancellor
has not yielded satisfactory results. The
Russian diplomat, however, does not
despair of congress. He will proba'
bly, visit Berlin, Paris, Rome, and final
ly London.
Itlis stated that an attempt has been
made at Vienna to find a middle course
as compromise between England and
Russia.
Lord Salisbury is now semi officially
mentioned as the successor of Lord Der
by.
Pope Leo proposes to enter upon di-
plomatic intercourse with England.
LATER,-Gen. Ignatieff has returned
to st. Petersburg to report the result of
his interview with the Austrian chancel-
lcr. THE latter rejected the Russo-Turk-
ish. treaty. 1t is rumored that 4OO,O 900
Austrian Hungarian troops will be inn
mediately modified on the Bosnian
frontier.
1t is believed at Pera that thorough
understanding between Russia and
Turkey has been effected, and that the
Russians will no longer find anything
to prevent them from commanding the
entrance to the Black Sea. 1t is thought
at London that the British fleet will Ell
ther enter the Black Sea or take posses
sion of the Bosphorus.
| It is rumored at Berlin that Russia
has decided to yield to England's de-
mand in regard to the congress, but
this is received with caution, and some
regard war inevitable.
The Turks have defeated the Greeks
on Mount Pelion.
General Grant and wife were present

A TERRIFIC BATTLE WITH A VIVA

N ERRlF1C bATILE WITH A w HALE,
"A Raleigh IN. CO. Observer special,
from Morehead City. N. c., March H.
says: ION Tuesday there was the
most exciting and dangerous whale fight
that has ever occurred on the coast. 1t
was with some difficulty that the Cap
tain of the crew could get his men to
obey orders. When the first bomb was
fred into the whale it failed to explode,
but it made the whale furious. and be
struck one of the boats and knocked it
some feet above the water. The Cap
tain then fired another bomb. This al
SO failed to explode. The fight was still
getting more furious. The third bomb
was fired and exploded near the heart.
This conquered the monster. The blood
spouted about ten feet high, and as the
crew rushed up to stick their lances in
the whale the blood fell in showers up
on them and their boats. The fight
was witnessed by another crew station
ed about seven miles above them. The
whale was forty-two feet long, and ex-
tremely fat. The fish will probably
bring about 5000.
