A SINGULAR OPERATIoN.-A
gentleman in this city received a
communication the other day from
DR.. F. L. Parker, Of Charleston, the
well known and successful oculist.
The missive related a most singular
and delicate operation which the
writer has just performed. One Of
his patients was troubled with an
affection of an eye, which necesita-
ted the removal of half of the con-
junctiva or 'white" of the organ. DR..
Parker wished to save the eye intact.
He therefore removed the conjunc-
tiva or white Of a rabbits eye, and
with a piece Of this filed the vacan-
cy made by the absence of the dis
eased part Of his patients eye. DIR.
Parker attended the case carefully
and, much to the surprise Of physlc-
ians and others, the transplanted
part Of the rabbits optic was as
simulated by nature, and now the
human eye, once harrassed by dis
order, is perfect.-GreenviIle Nears.

were so i'll when our last report was
published, are on the convalescent
list now, though a few of them are
still very weak. They all show
signs of having passed through a
terrible ordeal, being very thin and
weak, and almost as pale as death.

for some of them to recover, their
sufferings were so great.

COLUMBIA, August 18.-A private
letter from Union received in this
city gives the outline Of a reported
murder near that town. The letter
states that Mr.. Ballew, living about
five or six miles from Union, having
found out that the negroes on his
place were stealing his fence rails,
went to the house of one of them
night before last, and told the man
that he missed his rails, and that
the thing must stop. The wife Of
the negro beginning to curse him
Mr.. Ballew slapped her, whereupon
the husband caught and held him,
while the son got a knife and stab
bed him in the lungs and heart. Mr..
Ballew died instantly. The man
gave himself up, but the boy es-
capped, and posse was sent out
after him. This is all that has
been heard here.
1t is freely stated to-day that Mr..
j. w. Fry, who has been for several
years the superintendent of the
Columbia and Greenville Railroad,
has resigned that position to accept
the superintendency of the Georgia
division of the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia Railroad,
with headquarters at Atlanta. Mr..
Fry and President Haskell are both
out of town to-day and the informa-
tion is not official, but there seems
to be no reason to doubt its correct
ness. Mr.. Fry has been a very
efficient officer, and his promotion
is deserved.-Corespondent Neacs

OUR EXEMPTION FROM THE DIS.
kSTERS OF NATURE.

oIRExEMPTION FROM THE DIS
AsTERS OF NATURE. S.
In reading sooften lately of great
disasters that have befallen other
countries and communities, the
thought struck US that Newberry,
with many other of the upper coun-
ties, has been singularly exempt
from such. We have not had the.
opportunity of carefully reviewing
her history with this thought in
mind, but so far as we remember or
have learned from others no over
whelming calamity has ever rolled
across her peaceful breast. Isolat-
ed cases of destruction of life and
property by the ightning's sudden
fash or the passing breath of some
more than common wind; or it may
be by the mere suggestion of.
some plague, have Of course oe-
Cured; and indeed some Of her
citizens may have, in exceptionally
unfavorable crop years, more or
less really felt the pinchings OF
poverty. But the record of her past
will be searched in vain, we venture
to say, to find instances. where the
Wis Major has at one fell blow stilled
the whole people by the,awful mani
festation of his power. No open
inc earth has ever here yawned for
its human food; we have had no.
upheaving mountain ever and anon
olconsume us with eruptions from
its bowels afre with disease; no
angry cyclone has ever, as in some
of her sister counties and in the
neighboring States, swept her falr
fields leaving them waste and bare;
gaunt famine, malignant plague, or
other noxious pestilence has never
stalked abroad spreading desolation
and despair throughout the land.
Even when the whole country late
ly resounded with the shock ofarms,
Newberry was comparatively ex-
empt from hurt to her fresides. 1t
is true that her sons freely perished
on the border, but our hearthstones
and household gods were left un-
touched.
We, in town to be sure, have, OF
late, had more than our allotted
share of disasters by fire, according
TO the usual rules of accident; but
whether all of them were accidental
or otherwise, none can fairly
be attributed to the Act of God. In
none of them, too, has there been
loss of life and in most Of them
there has been adequate compensa-
ton for the loss of property.
We are not able, did we feel dis
posed, to enter into a discussion OF
the physical reasons for this exemp-
ton from the disasters of Nature;
nor do we feel qualified to preach a
sermon-to account for the moral
aspect of the question by trying to
fathom the ways of Him whose
paths s:are past finding out" We
simply record what seems to us a
fact-one for which the commonest
gratitude compels US to make &C
acknowledgement and be grateful.
Verify the good Lord has delivered
us as county from lightning and
tempest; from plague, pestilence and
famine; from battle and murder,
and from sudden DEATH And did
we not;as people often recognize
this fact with grateful hearts, we
would for our base ingratitude de-
serve being swept by the hand of
the Almighty into an oblivion long,
er and deeper than that in which
faithless and naughty Pompeii was
buried by the ashes of Vesuvius.
