A Visit to Hartwell, Ga.

Mr.. EDITOR: Allow me space in your
columns to mention few of the pleas.
ures of a recent visit to Hartwell, Ga.
In company with II. G. Scudday, Esq,
I left Anderson on the 1st inst with the
intention of arriving at our. destination
early in the eve. Soon we were on the
banks of Taylor's Creek, Is miles west Of
Anderson,) and owing to the frequent
rains the stream was very much swollen.
We were advised by boy not to attempt
to cross, as it would be very dangerous.
My companion suggested that we return
to town and take different route; but
as never liked to make cross mark in,
the road and spit in it, I told him if he
would unhitch the horse from the buggy
I would mount and try the creek. The
horse was soon out Of harness., and the
rider in position. The creek was not as
deep as it appeared, and by careful driv-
ing we were able to cross. So much for
having an equestrian along. ~
AS we pursued our course we were i'm
pressed with the beautiful fields of grain,
corn and cotton, which appear ed to US as
doing finely. But there had been too
much rain, and the grass was making
headway.
We crossed Savannah River about 6 p.
M, and an hours drive brought us to the
beautiful town of Hartwell We were
placed into the hands of CaptJ. T. Graft,
who was to be guardian during our stay.
The object of our visit was to attend the
Commencement Exercises Of "Hartwell
High School, After refreshments we
wended our way to the Court House,
where the exercises were to be held. The
courtroom was packed jammed and
crammed. My companion secured a
chair, and after some time got a reserrcd
seat on the mantelpiece, in the back of the
room. The exercises consisted of cha
rades, extracts, songs and calisthenics.
the audience much amusement when she
appeared as "Visit to Grandma" and she
certainly deserved the cheers she received.
The calisthenics closed the exercises for
the eve. About forty young ladies and
girls appeared on the stage in uniforms
(white dresses with red Stripes and they
were beautiful. The calisthenics class
was taught by Mrs. Crawley, and though
they had only been instructed about three
months they received thorough training,
and the different manuvres we're execu-
ted in soldier like manner. This exercise
is very healthful, and should be taught in
all our schools.
Wednesday dawned bright and warm,
but now and then cloud would hover
over the town, and as this was the last
and big day anxious eyes would watch
the manuvres Of the hearers. BY a. m.
crowds were seen vending their way to
the Court House. The morning program
consisted of examinations, &C., and at II
a. III. II. G. Scudday (the orator of the
occasion,) was to speak. At the appoint
ed hour Mr.. S. was escorted to the stage
and introduced 10 the audience. The
audience was equally as large as the eve

Ben Copeland, colored boy, was conf
mitted to Jail last Friday charged with
an assault and battery and attempting to
outrage the person of a little 1l-year old
whito girl in Brushy Creek township.
The little girl was attacked by the vii
liam while she was picking blackberries
some distance from her home. On Sat
urday Felix Sloan, colored. charged with
attempting to commit similar crime
upon the person of little colored girl, in
Centerville township, was also committed
to Jail. This makes three negroes who
have been committed to Jail within The
last two or three weeks charged with the
same crime. We believe in letting the
law take its course, but these crimes are
getting too common, and we think Judge
Lynch could exert wholesome inf1u-
ence were he to assume jurisdiction of
| all these cases where the proof of the
| crime is clear. This class Of cases should
| never reach the Court House unless there
| be some doubt as to the guilt of the party
charged.

Lieutenant Greedy, since his return
home, says a Washington dispatch to the
Milwaukee Sentinel, relates a number of
curious incidents connected with his expe-
dition during their two years residence in
the Arctic regions. The most singular Of
all. however, is a story told to him by
Mn. belong, a few weeks since, which
she youches for as being true in every re-
spect. According to her narrative, when
Commander belong started on his cruise
toward the north pole he gave to his wife
TO keep for him n valuable and highly
priced watch. He also left her a nickel
plated clock. He enjoined her to keep
the watch wound up, adding, jestingly,
that that was something difficult for a
woman to do for two years. She contin-
ued to perform the duty most carefully.
but one day the watch suddenly stopped,
as also did the clock, and both on the
same hour and minute. An examination
of the watch by a ieweler showed a broken
handspring. but the clock was without in
jury. Nothing was thought Of the oc-
currence at the time. though the anxiety
of Mrs. belong had caused her to note in
her diary Of all the facts. The affair was
almost forgotten as a trivial circumstance
until the wife received the journal of the
brave dead husband, in which he had
noted on a certain date that his watch and
the ships chronometer had stopped, both
at the same time. and by comparison of
days and circumstances it was found that
all OF belong 3 time pieces, those in the
Arctic as well as those at home, had been
in perfect sympathy; all had ceased to
tick on the same day, at the game hour,
and the same minute.

the horses and carriages and will continue
to make the stables the best conducted,
as they are the best stocked. in the city.

purtenances, including the fine sleighs are

it has the best equipped stable in the

continuance of the patronage which the
stables have heretofore received. Mr..
Wightman, the late proprietor. during his
management Of the business, selected
horses and carriages admirably adapted to
the wants Of the community, and the new
proprietors therefore begin the business

A huge demijohn of sweet cider with a
tag attached, conveying the compliments
of Mr.. H. II. Ellis, reached THE LEADER
office yesterday. The quality Of the bev-
erage was of the best character and as the
Business Manager pertinently remarked,
everybody sat down ''beeider'' until the
last vestige of the amber liquid had dis
appeared. 1t was a rather mild species
of dissipation, but the unanimous way in
which the find was tackled shows that
the craving for cider is pretty nearly uni
versal. Mr.. Ellis has the thanks of THE

tons in this Territory, although when he
SO desires, the Sheriff may call upon
United States troops to assist in the exc
cution of the death sentence, and he may
also appoint any given number of special
deputies he may deem wise. 1t is stated
that the execution next week will not be
largely attended. and that aside from the
officers, representatives of the press and
others who may be properly admitted, no
n will be permitted to witness the hang
ing. Considerable interest is taken In
