The Sixth Annual State Convention of the Young Men's Christian Associa- tion was held in Newberry last week. Thursday night a Welcome Meeting was held in the Methodist Church. Rev. J. B. Campbell made an address of welcome on behalf of the churches. He told the Association that there was no nobler, no more honorable, nor more remunerative work than that in which they were engaged. That they had authority for their work ; no au- thority to preach, but Christian work is not contined to preaching. That their work need not come in conflict with the pulpit. but should be auxiliary to it. Mr. Jno. A. Chapman made a wel- coming address on behalf of the citizens. Dr. James McIntosh extended the welcome of the Newberry Association. The welcoming addresses were re- sponded to on behalf of the delegates by Mr. S. C. Kennedy, of Charleston, Mr. S. M. Pressly, of Due West, Mr. H. G. Scudday, of Anderson, and Mr. F. S. Dibble, of Orangeburg. Friday morning the Association, numbering thirty-three delegates, re- assembled in the Baptist Church.

Meetings ere afterwards held in the Methodist nd Associate Reformed Churches at So'clock ; in the former for men anly, in the latter for ladies. At night a Farewell Meeting was beld in the Baptist Church. The Church was crowded. Addresses were made y Mr. Boyce, Mr. Watkins, Mr. ishart and Mr. Kennedy. Just before the close of the meeting Rev. Mr. Campbell arose and in a few well- timed words expressed the gratification f the people of Newberry for the eeting of the Association in their midst, and for the good influences it hasexerted over the community. Mr. Y. Leavell expressed the gratitude f the Newberry Association for the mpetus that the meeting had given to the work here. The Association made a good im- pression on the people of Newberry, adthe influence of the meeting will be felt for many a day. The young en were manly, earnest, and devoted to the work of doing good. The ad- dresses were pointed and practical and wholly devoid of all effort at display. 'hese young men are undoubtedly engaged in a noble work, and right nobly are they performing it. The following resolutions were adopted: Reslved, 1. -That the thanks of'this Con- vention are due and are hereby respectfully tendered to the Pastors of the Churches for their cordial, Christian welcome, and their hearty and earnest co operation. 2.

State vs. B. Harmon and Joe Salte Trespass on lands; appeal from Tr Justice Court. These defendants wet arrested and c:rried before a Trial Ju: tice, charged with trespassing on land! They demanded a jury, and the Tri Justice required them, as a prereqisit to getting a jury trial, that they "p up" the money to pay the jury. Thi they did. The jury disagreed. The were again brought up for trial, an again the Trial Justice demanded th jury fees in advance, and the defendant refusing to "put up" the money th Trial Justice tried them without a jury They were convicted, and sentenced t a fine or imprisonment. Mr. Packer representing the defendants, appealec on the ground that they had not beei legally tried. The Circuit Judge sus tained the appeal, holding that an ac cused person is entitled to a jury trial and that he is not required to make an] provisions beforehand for the paymen of the jury. The case was remandec to the Trial Justice. State vs. Calvin Gallman, assauli with intent to kill, and assault of a higl and aggravated nature. Some sheep o: Mr. Thos. H. Adams got into Anton Moon's field;. Moon had them put up, and sent to Mr. Adams to come and get them. Mr. Adams went, but wher he got to the stable where the sheer were confined he was met by the de- fendant who demanded pay before the sheep should go. Mr. Adams refusing this demand and attempting to take the sheep away. the defendant fell upon him and beat him severely with a brick- bat over the head and shoulders. Messrs. Jones & Jones, who represent- ed the defendant, proved that the defend- ant was working for Antony Moon for two-ifths of the crop, and insisted that he therefore had a right to hold the sheep, (by force if necessary,) till he was paid for any damages they may have done him. The Judge charged that the de- fendant could not hold the sheep for damages even had they done him any damage; that the law only gives the "owner of the land" upon which stock respasses the right to hold them for amages; and that in this case Antony Moon, who had rented the land, was for the time the owner, and therefore the only party entitled to hold stock for respass. The jury found a verdict of uilty of aggravated assault and batte- y. State vs. Oscar Jones, assault with in- ent to kill, and assault and battery of a igh and aggravated nature. This de- fendant pleaded guilty to the latter harge. State vs. Willie Ruff, Rape, and as- ault with intent to ravish. The prose- uting witness in this case was a stout olored woman of 2.5, the accused a col- red boy of 15. She testified that she was put in fear of her life by threats and thus overpowered. TIhe case looked a little fishy, and the jurg said Not uilty. State vs. Ella Robertson, Pleas Rob- rtson, Jim Robertson, Bob Porterlield and Harriet Porterfield, Grand Larceny. hese parties, all colored, were charged with stealing two bales of cotton fromi Mr. F. H. Dominick. The evidence sowed that Bob Porterfield worked and of Mr. Dominick last year; and tat he was indebted to Mr. D. Mr. Dominick, the prosecuting witness, tes- ifid that Bob turned over these two ales of cotton to him in payment of the ndebtedness. The testimony raised onsiderable doubt as to whether it was a complete contract-whether Mr. Dom- nick had accepted the cotton in the ense he testified it was offered-in full atisfation. There was some attach- ent and claim and delivery proceed- ngs in connection with this same cot- on, and the whole affair was about as adly "mixed up" as "them babies". It ad very much the appearance of try- ng the title to personal property in the Sessions Court. The jury couldn't de- ide the question of title, and therefore ouldn't agree. A "mistria}" wais en~ ered; and the accused were let out on 30 bail, except as to Pleas Robertson -the case as to him was nol pros'd. Mr. Schumnpert and Mr. Carlisle de- ended the accused. The State vs. Milledge Snow, Ob- tructing Rail Road Track. This case as been on docket for several terms. The indietraent was quashed during ol. Ball's term on a technicality, the ndictment failing to allege that cars were drawn over the track by steam en- ines. Mr. Robertson testified that be aw Snow place a "chair", a piece of iron used on railroads, on the road be- ween Saluda Bridge and Chappell's, ad that be found two other "chairs" n the road near tis. The proof was onclusive. Messrs. Moorman & Sim- ins, who represented the accused, in- sisted in the argument on a verdict of ot guilty on the ground that it had not een proved that "steam engines" drew cars over this track. The only testimno- y wns by Mr. Robert.son, that a "p4s- enger train" hadl just passed over the road carry ing a red flag, indicating that aother "train" was expected ; and that few days before an "engine" had knocked a bar of iron off' the track near the place of this obstruction. The Judge held that there was some evi- tee sunftcit oiat a qtion forether ury.e uryiethosuhtion frs sthe a,.. The inev thonoht it was sufii- a verdict of guilty. The testimony wa a- very voluminous: but it was prove< 1- that the accused shot and killed Field ing Mc)owell on Mr. P. B. Workman pIce on the 7th of March with an En :o field rifle. A peculiarity about the casc was that Job Johnson, a brother of th< r, accused, confessed the day after the ii killing that he (Job) did the killing ,e and he stuck to it to the last, going upon ;- the witness stnndl at the tri-il :.Ud nycear- ;. ing to it. Fielding and J,b had had : 1 difficulty a few hours before the killing, e and thet c was some testimony as to a I diiliculty between the two at the time s of the killing; but the State showed y that this claim of Job that he killed 3 Fielding was a "put up" job between e Job., who appears to be of weak mind, s and his brother Simon, their idea being a that Job would have a chance of ac- quittal on the ground pf self-defense, and > Simon would have no chance at all. Job's testimony was contradicted by l overwhelming evidence. The prisoner t was defended by James Packer, Esq. - Friday afternoon the convicts were sentenced as follows: Oscar Jones-Four months in the County Jail, and a fine of $5. Calvin Galiman-Four months in the I County Jail, and a fine of $5. Milledge Snow-Two years at hard labor in the State Penitentiary, and a fine of $25. Simon Johnson-To be banged Fri- day the 5th day of August next. When Johnson was asked by the Clerk, after the usual form, what he had to say why sentence of death should not be pro- nounced against him, he replied-"I'm not guilty; I'm not guilty, at all." Judge Fraser, in passing sentence, said: Simon Johnson, you have been convicted of killing a man who was living on the same plantation with you; one of your companions. Being put on your trial, you have had every privilege the law allowed you; you have been defended with a great deal of zeal and with ability. After a long and tedious investigation, the jury have found you guilty. Notwithstanding the fact that your unfortunate brother has volun- teered to take the crime upon his own shoulders, the jury were satisfied that you were the murderer, After careful consideration, I can find no fault with their verdict. You stand here not only to answer to the laws of your country, but with your hands imbrued in the blood of your fel- low-man. You did the deed without justification or' excuse. With strong hands and ungovernable passion you sent him, without warning, into eterni- Ly. The law imposes upon me the painful duty of pronoun eing upon you the sentence of death. All I can tell you is to make your peace with God. You should look the matter squarely jin the face. It is my du'y to warn you against any delusive hopes. In the short time allowed you you should re- pent and seek forgiveness from Him alone whose forgiveness is of any ser- vice to you. Prepare to meet your God. Though you stand here covered with the blood of your fellow-man, there is forgiveniess for you if you will seek it. The Judge then pronounced the sen- tence. The prisoner exhibited very little concern during the delivery of the sen- tence. He is a large, stout man, black, and is about twenty-eight years of age. NEW PUBLICATIONS! JUST RECEIVED.

Very few responses to our call to set- tle up last Sale-day. Visitors still flock in to see the alliga- tor. It is growing fast. The crops about Martin's Depot are suffering dreadfully for rain. Why are lawyers like fishes? Be- cause they are fond of debate. If you want a good shave, don't mar- ry a woman with corns. So says an exchange. This reminds us that we will soon have roasting ears. Mr. J. W. Smith threshed Saturday 101 bushels of oats from 125 dozen bun- dles. There were but two bald-beaded Del- egates to the Convention held here last week.

It be- gau at 11; the total eclipse was at 1. The price of Kendall's Treatise on the Horse reduced to 20 cts. Come and get one at the HER1ALD Book Store. The Delegates to the Convention of the Y. M. C. Associations were re- markable for intelligence and fine ap- pearance. Grhoom to young bride-ruralists- "Shall I skin you a perLater, honey ?" "No, thank you, deary, I have one al. ready skun."

The Good Temnplars of Newberry will have their annual picnic at Wallace- ville, four miles below Alston, about the 24th instant. Mr. J. K. Schumpert has cut his wheat and oats by the roadside near his home. It was the finest field of grain we have seen this year.

Zoedone; a health-giving and deli- cious beverage, is to be had of Maybin & Tarrant. Highly recommended,with undoubted testimonials, and withal so very cheap, it must at once become popular. Mr. Z. L. White feeling concerned about the hungry appearance of the "Senior" flew to his rescue on Sunday morning last. All danger is over for the present. Mr. I. W. Walter, our young and mn- defatigable townsman, will in a few days open the season by going out again with his thresher and engine. May be have a lively time and very many bush- els to thresh. "A young man while attempting to fix a 'misplaced switch' on a youDg la- dy's head, stepped on her dress and 'wrecked her train'. She told him to 'conductor' to a seat, and be more 'car- ful' in the future." We have always' said that Prosperity had more enterprise than .y other town of its size.

We are h:ppy to t' Dr. Strother Pope's whiskers are eon-i'e:-ably larger than they were on his a t visit here. Clark Waring is making so m-:ch money that he will soon retire from business. The citizens are suffering for beef, and are trying to keep body and soul together on Morris' cereal flake. Wnen the doors of Bush River Church were unlocked and opened Saturday morning it was found that the new car- pet which covered the pulpit platform had been torn up and thrown to one side in a corner; a new oil cloth that covered the table in front of the pulpit was gone. and it has not yet been found; the goblet was broken to pieces, and chairs were tumbled over and piled up promiscuously. The parties who did the mischief must have entered through a window. There is a wide difference of opinion as to the number of apples eaten by Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Some say Eve 8 (ate), and Adam 2 (too), total 10; others, Eve 8, and Adam 8, total 16; others say, if Eve 8 1 and Adam 8 2, the total is 163; if Eve 8 1' and Adam 8 1 2, the total is 893; if Eve 8 1 1st (ate one first), and Adam 8 1 2, the total is 1,623; if Eve 814 Adam, and Adam 8 1 2 4 Eve, the total is 8,938; if Eve 8 1 4 Adam, and Adam 8 1 2 4 2 oblige Eve, the total is 82,056. Still wrong. Eve when she 8 1 8 1 2 many, and probably felt sorry for it; so Adam, in order to relieve her grief, 8 1 2. Therefore, if Adam 8 1 8 1 4 2 40fy Eve's depressed spirits, they both ate 81,896,864 apples. Once upon a time a certain man got mad at the Editor and stopped his paper. The next week he sold his corn at four cents below the market price. Then his property was sold for taxes, because he didn't read the the sheriff's sales. He was arrested and fined $8.00 for going hunting on Sun. day simply because he didn't know it was Sunday; and he paid $300 for a lot of forged notes, that had been ad- vertised two weeks and the public cau- tioned not to negotiate for them. He then paid a big Irishman, w7ith a foot like a forgehammer, td kick him all the way to the newspaper office, where he paid four years' subscription in ad- vance, and made the editor sign an agreement to knock him down and rob him if he ever ordered his paper stopped again. Such is life without a news- paper. There is a tide in the affairs of men, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. But I tied my ankles so tightly with my drawer strings as to lead me to send to Pelham 's Drug Store for a bottle of Coussens' Lightning Liniment. I am well. Cost only 50c.
