From New York, Practical Tuner of Pipe and
Reed Organs and Piarofortes. A few remarks
on the Importance OF having Organs and Tan
ofortes kept in perfect order by one thoroughly
skilled in the construction of the instruments.
Hundreds of Organs ard Pianofortes arc sadly
injured from being tampered with by persons
who are unskilled in their mechanism, and
who are tempted by curiosity to take them apart,
(merely to see how they are made.) Professor
Gonzalez respectfully informs the Rev. Pastors,
also Families having Organs and Pianofortcs,
that he being Manufacturer of these lnsru-
ments, is fully prepared to attend to Tuning,
Regulating and Repairing, as he is always pro-
vided with all the Essential parts Of Mechan-
ism connected with the above Instruments
Professor Gonzalez also wishes to state that he
is in possession of hundreds of Testimonials
from Ministers of various Denominations who
have purchased Organs from him. or had their
Organs Tuned and Repaired ny him, so that he
may be relied upon TO 10 such work, so as to
ensure entire satisfaction in all cases.
As his stay in this to~~s ~ limited Order
left at the Post Office OF Union Hotel will receive
prompt attention.

Letter from Browns Store.


MR. EpIrun Though have not the pleas
urc Of personal acquaintance with you, as q
longtime reader of your paper permit me to
trouble you with few thoughts from this re-
gon.
| suppose the past week has been Il stirring
one in your town, i'll consequence of the many
important criminal cases to be tried at the pres
cat term of Court. 1t is, however, very en-
couragng to the prisoners TO feel that there is
little danger of any one being hung in Union:
IT. really looks odd, as we ride over the couE-
ty since the fence, or stock, law went into oper-
alton, to see no stock on the public highways.
We farmers are jubant over it--with few ex-
ccptions. But, gentlemen don't ''mistakc po-
tatpes for principles" for with all your opposi-
ton you will never go to the Legislature, The
dissatisfaction will soon be hnshcd, and then we
shall have quiet ond happy tmes--at least un-
til the candidates start again.
The colorcd people in this section have set
tied down and gone 10 work better than for sew
cral years, apparently with the intention Of ma
king something for themselves and their en-
ploycrs.
Oar friend, Dr. j. ID. Orr, made flying visit
to Atlanta, few days ago, profcsse lily to buy
bill of drugs, but returned with life partner,
not in his professional duties, but in his do
nestle affairs. This addition to our community
was Miss Gillespie, and we all think she will
prove quite n valuable accession to our society.
Our community has met with quite loss in
the removal Of Mr.. X. Il. Brown to Hampton
City, on the Airline Railroad. lie is an excel
lent md gcntlcmany merchant and We all wish
him peace ard prosperity wherever he may go.
Two young mon, Mcssrs. J. Z. Iitlcjohn and
Il. \. Jones, have taken his place and opened II
large and finely selected stock Of goods. Being
young, good looking, and having for sale goods
to suit the Ladies, their store will be an attrac-
tive spot for young ladies', AMI they arc bound
to do good business This is an awful scrawl,
but its my first, and will try ana do better
next time.

The ThorrWell Orphanage.

Mn. EDIroR MIR. Thos G.. Scott, who has
been spending u few days in our town solicit
ing contributions in behalf of the Thornwell
Orphanagc, located at Clinton, in Laurcns Coun-
ty, left last Tuesday pursuing his mission in
the direction of SpartanLurg. Mr.. Scott ex-
pressed himself as being highly gratifed with
his kind reception among the good eoplc Of
Union. His success in receiving donations
from both gentlemen and ladies exceeded his
expectations. The citizens in general, irrespec-
tive Of denomination or occupation, were ready
to lend q helping hand to the Orphans cry. a
community generous he has seldom found
The various contributions he received from the
good people of Union amounted in value to some
fifty sixty dollars. All these gifts 60 direct
ly to the support of the Orphan Children. The
Thornwcll Orphanaee seeks not only to give the
children placed under its care food aud raimcnt
but practical education AMI sound moral train
ing. The boys arc carefully taught some trade;
the girls, under the supervision of the matron
and accomplished teachers are thoroughly in
structed in ali kinds of work pertaining to
household and domestic affairs.
Thus it may easily be sech. how great arc tho
advantages derived by the little boys and girls
at this noble Institution, and such cause the
generous and high toned people of Union know
how TO aprrccate--a cause that looks TO the elc-
vaion and Improvement, both mentally and NOR
ally, Of the poor Orphan. In this way society
may be improved and the church blessed by
fitting those for usefulness, who otherwise

South Carolina has not to blame her rcprcsen-

defeat of her just claim of nearly S3OO,O0O for
advances to the General Government during the
war of 1872 for they did their level best III aud

Mr.. Evins on the subject of these advances, and
the mode by which they were settled IN part,

Nor have you TO thank the Republicans Tor your

About half past five o'clock last TUESDAY even
ing this community was thrown into great cX-
element by the caunouncemcnt that Mr. .. B. ii.

self in the head with pistol. For some months
Mr.. Graham had been confined to his bed by II
severe attack of paralysis III the low part Of
his body and legs, but had So far recovered rs
walk up town, and not more than fifteen min
utcs before he committed the sad deed we talked
with him on the street about the act lately passed
by Congress to pay the veterans of the Mex
lean war, aud he appeared i'll his usual spirits.
lie was then ON his way home. On entering
thcihousc he stumbled and was assisted to n
chair by Mrs. Robinson, his m0thcrin Jaw
She then turned from him and Immediately at
ter heard the report Of pistol. On turning to
him she found pistol lying on the floor beside
his chair, and that Mr.. Graham was shot. The
ball entered the head just behind the right ear
and passed through to the skull directly oppo-
site.
An inquest was held by Trial Justice Stokes
acting Coroner, and the following verdict found:
And the jurors aforesaid upon their oaths do
say that the aforesaid .. Is. II. Graham came to
his death 10y reason of gunshot wound, enter
ing the right side OF the head and passing
through the brain. and that the same was fired
from pistol in the hand Of the said o. Is. IL.

correspondent of the Charleston Nc,cS 0ud Con-
ricr, writing from EdScfc!d, gives the following
account of trial for burglary and the curious
but significant verdict of tho jury:
1t WAS n case in which colorcd man was in
diccd for burglary, and ii was proved upon the
trial that the accused entered tho mill house of
the prosecutor through n hole made for he pur-
pose of letting the shaft of wheel pass through,
and after entering ii, opened the door from the
inside taking n sack of -four set il outside, and
then made his cgrCss through the same hole
The prisoner was defended hy Major Ernest
Gary, who took the ground that the State had
FAILED 10 make oit a case Of burglary, there
WAS no breaking. which was essential in AL case
of burglary. His Honor sustained the position
taken hy Major Gary. and instructed the jury
without any argument Of counsel that they
could not convict the prisoner as lie was only
in '!c'ct for hur."ry. The inry retired to their

The testimony was here closed, and the argu-
ment was opened for the defence was opened
by Mr.. c. c. Culp, followed by VIM. Munro and
Col McKissck Solicitor Ball made able
and just effort for the State. The judge summed
up the case in n very impartial and dignifed
charge, and submitted it to the jury After an
absence of eight minutes the jury returned with
verdict of NOT GUILTY.
We cannot close the report of this trial with
out noticing the great ability displayed by
the Attorneys for the defence. 1t was the
frst effort of Mr. Culp, and We express the
opinion of all who heard him in saying that his
speech was a fine effort, both in matter and man
ncr of delivery, and indicated mind of far
more than ordinary capacity.
