A New Departure.

Selling Stencil Instruments is, In
itself, neither wrong nor disreputa-
BILE, but in our judgment It Injuries,
not purchasers, but the trade them
selves, and for this reason, If for no
other, should be discontinued. It
has injured US, in that it has given
every petty rival an opportunity to
class us with adventures and ras-
callY dealers who use the "stenciln
system as q means to deceive and
humbug purchasers. While the hue
and cry against Stencil Instruments
was at its height,to have abandoned
their sale would have showed US as
being forced to do It by public opin-
ion, and hence we stood to our
guns, although being then, as now,
of the opinion that the system was
detrimental to US and the entire
trade. Now the excitement is
over, the public understand that
Stencil instruments are not nee
essarily poor or bogus. Their
sale is larger than ever before, and
the "Stenciln tradeis booming. Gan
is quiet on the Savannah" ard all
along the line, and it seems to US
a time when we can, voluntarily,
and with good grGce-while 'fHoIding

The Grand Gift Entertainment of
the FOFds.

The Ford Dramatic Association are re-
hearsing frequently for the grand gift enter
tainment which comes of at the Theatre
on the 11th and 18Th Instant. The pro-
gramme selected Is very attractive one, and
we have no hesitancy in asserting that the
performance will not only be the best ever
given By the Fords, but will be equal to any
amateur entertainment ever presented 10
this city. The members have taken I'M
usual interest in the affair, and each has
striven to surpass the other IN friendly
rivalry.
We learn that the sale Of tickets has been
exceedingly gratifying, and that 8 large
number have been disposed Of. The prizes,
which are displayed at Hamilton's, Desbuii
Ions and elsewhere, have been generally
admired, particularly those cash gold prizes.
The Vereran Guard Cadets, with the Repub-
lican Blues Brass Band, will be big fes-
ture. There will be 10 secured seats at the
performances. Those who have not pur-
chased tickets should see some Of the com
mittee at once and get them.

Close of the Meeting at AImOTy
Hall.

Many persons had to leave ArmorY Hall
last night, not being able to obtain even
standing room. Mr.. Sweeney's sermon
upon the Natural vs.. the Supernatural in
Religion" was beyond doubt the ables! and
most brilliant effort he has made during his
stay. Although an hour long, the large
number that crowded the standing room st
tested their appreciation bv waiting
patiently until It closed. We viii not at
tempt an abstract Of the discourse, as
nothing short Of q full report could do 1t
justice.
Coming into our midst q comparative
stranger, he has by his acknowledged abil-
fly, his graceful OratorT and engaging man
ners. formed 8 large circle Of friends and
admirers, who viii ever hail with pleasure
his return 70 our city. The cause which be
has so zealOusly advocated has been very
materially advanced in various other ways,
besides the addition OF eight members to its
fellowship. There seems to be very uni
versal expression Of regret that his falling
health compelled him TO close the meeting
at the most interesting period.

On Friday afternoon a number Of young

pleasure from the tramp In the country
with their lady friends, were
prompt at the appointed place.
After waiting nearly an hour 1t suddenly
dawned upon the minds OF several of the
parties that 1t was the first Of April, and
coming to the conclusion that a joke had
been played upon them, they quietly re-
treated. There were twenty two invitations
extended, and every one was accepted,
hence there were twenty-five chagrined
young men seen returning from the Park,
Ia different directions, about half-past four
o'clock Saturday afternoon.

20 whip him, aud administered about TWEEN
ty-ive lashes with a small leather whip.
Andrews died shortly afterwards, and it
was alleged from the results of this whip

the physicians attending him the
whipping was not sufficiently severe to have
caused death. Another physician thought
