the dying soldier boy to his comrades, to
bear to friends and loved ones at home, tears
gathered thick and fast in the eyes of many
who sat beneath his mellow voice. He has
inherited some of the powers of the orator
from his uncle, DR.. B. NJ. Palmer, for he is
too young to have cultivated them to such
degree Other prizes we're awarded to the

Music was furnished by the Rock Hill

pleasantly, and Messrs. Banks and DeGrafen-
reid are congratulated upon their success, and
thanked by the community for such enter
tainments.
The Board of Trustees passed the follow
ing resolutions:
"Resolued, That the Board of Trustees are
much gratifed by the success Of the Academy
during the past year; are fully satisfied with
the thorough instruction given by Messrs
Banks & DeGraffenreid, and are rejoiced to
hear that an excellent moral influence per-
vades the school. IT,.
"2nd. That we can confidently recommend
this Academy to parents and guardians hav.
ing sons or wards to prepare for an education,
as being one of the best"
In speaking of the moral influence exerted
by these Christian gentlemen over their stu.
dents, it will not be out Of place to state
that over twenty of the pupils, during the
year, made professions of religion and con-
nected themselves with the Church. We
need more of such Christian academies
in our land, wherein not only the mind is
cultivated, but also where the heart is edu'
Gated. The education which looks only to
the development of the intellectual powers
must prove defective. 1t is only when the
mental and moral faculties are blended to-
gether, that we obtain true education. Messrs
Banks & DeGrafenreid do just such work
"By their fruits ye shall know them"
The exercises Of the Academy will be
opened about the first of September next.

RAIN...CROP PROSPECTS.

We have endeavored to obtain information
this week from different sections of the coun'
ty in regard to the amount of rain and the
crop prospects. On the whole, our informa'
ton is not encouraging, yet the prospects
might be much worse than they are.
In the vicinity Of Clover, ten miles north
of Yorkville, there has not been good rain
since about the last of April. In the vicini-
ty of Allison's Creek trestle, four miles south
of Glover, there have been good rains, recent
ly, extending along the creek for a short dis
tance in either direction from the trestle.
In the neighborhood of Bowling Green,
beyond Glover, it is quite dry.
Between Yorkville and Rock Hill there
have been occasional light showers, but not
sufficient to be of much benefit to the growing
crops.
There was good rain on Friday evening,
and also one on Monday afternoon in the
Guthriesville and McConnellsville section,
extending in the direction Of Brattonsville'
Our information is to the effect that with con.
tinued showers fair crop will be made in
this section.
In the Bullock's Creek section there have
been recently occasional showers, but INSULT
cient to effect much good.

SHOT IN THE HEAD.

A letter to this Office from Charlotte, con-
veys the information that on Monday night
of last week, Victor Davidson, a Yorkville
colored man now living in that city, was
shot in the head, by some parties unknown,
receiving severe wound. The version of
the affair as published in the Observer agrees
with the letter we received, and is as follows
Wick Davidson, a colored waiter at Shan
nonhouse's boarding house, and another color
ored man, VIM. Wheeler, Monday night, be-
tween ten and eleven o'clock, took walk in
the direction of the old Richmond & Dan.
Vile depot. On approaching the railroad
crossing, they passed three young white men,
one of whom caught Davidson by the coat,
evidently thinking him some one else. Sew
eral words were exchanged between David.
son and the other parties, after which the
colored men proceeded on their walk. When
returning, and at about the same place, the
parties met again, and words were again ex.
changed, and after the negroes had proceeded
a short distance, some one Of the white crowd
fired three pistol shots at Davidson and
Wheeler, one shot taking effect in Davidson's
forehead, just above, or nearly between, the
eyes.
We have not learned the condition of the
wounded man,

ing of concealed weapons. 1t is our duty-it
is your sworn duty--to see that these laws are
enforced.
Much is said in the public prints at home
and abroad about the homicides committed
in this State, and while the number is unfor-
tunately large, yet on comparison with other
States of the Union and the calendars of
crime in the old world, the number is no
greater than in those last named sections
Persecution in many countries of Europe in
censes the people to crime, and it seems that
the crime of homicide in all its phases repeats
itself in cycles.
At the request Of Mr.. Butler, Commission
er of Agriculture, he would bring to the at
tention of the grand jury the question of fish
culture in the streams of the State. The
Commissioner of Agriculture thinks, if the
people residing along the streams will aid
him by enforcing the laws against taking fish
at improper times, the streams can be well
supplied with an abundance of fine fish but
if the law is not enforced, the expense of
stocking the streams with choice varieties
will be useless The law on the subject is
ample, and but little attention on the part of
the people is necessary to secure its enforce
ment.
His Honor then closed by pointing out the
general duties of the grand jury, which he
presumed had heretofore been fully explained
to this jury by his predecessor.
On Monday and Tuesday the sessions dock
ct was disposed of as follows:

The Swiss are not little exercised
BY the proportions which emigration
from their country Is rapidly assuming.
The gathering Of 1000 emigrants In
Basic the other day has excited con-
ment, and we are told that "almost
daily bands Of emigrants are passing
westward from the Fatherland. One
writer says that when an emigrant was
asked, Are you, too, leaving usP" the
answer was, Yes; there Is nothing for
me 70 do at home." This answer has

Some Of the Nihiists, who are

2 scheme Of reorganization which they
propose 10 bring forward after the de-

life; il was only Ivan the Terrible and
his successors who, with the help Of the
Tartars, created the present centralized
and autocratic empire. Such a scheme
would, il i believed, find favor with
