More of the Avondale Horror.
APPALLflG SCENES.
The New York World's correspondent
at Avondale gives a very graphic descrip
tion of the scene at the mine at the time
the bodies of the dead miners were
brought up from the pit. The appear
ance of the dead men was very singular,
nearly all of them showing in their faces
and on their bodies a ruddiness that
could hardly be distinguished from the
glow of health. Only one man was dis
figured, and the expression on nearly all
thai.was calm and peaceful, deno
ting that the consummation of the as
phyxis.wasalmost- wholly painless.
Most of the unfoi-tanate men were
Welshmer, the number of Irishmen be
ingvery small, and but one American is
knowa.tt have beenin the mine. When
the steins of, their Tabor had been washed
away, the spectators beheld the curling
locks,thm finely cut features and calum
narueeks and -busts peculiar to the sons
oftytnti. But the sight of these dead
bodies, showing neither ema-iation nor
digeaie, was far less painful and terrible
then the aight of the widows and father
les children. The load cries of grief
and wails of despair which were reported
to have accompanied the -first ne .s
of the disaster, had died away when
the fil- force of the blow was felt.
The wicowad women sat in their homes,.
usually on their threshold o. near them,
unmoved, sterm and stolia;- looking out
upon their nei:hbors or the-throngs of
pasmgstrangers with.a stony stare that
e e.ed toezpress a -wonder that the sun
shosid- shine and the. rivers flow, and
men and women go and come, now when
all that made life worth living for was blot
teifet. The correspondent noted but
twiiteepois to this silent mourning.
One waran old Irish woman who rocked
to and: fro in her chair, crooning the
ipue o( her dead husband or son, and
the .gther was a young Welsh girl whom
he found writhing on the ground by the
roadside, 'burying her face in the earth
with wild tumultuous bursts of sobbing.
and broken ejaculations that she might
die. From the general temper and do
minor :of the miners, the World's cor
aependent believes thit the dark days
are soon coming for the capitalists of the
mining district. The Welshmen are
sullen apd dogged, after their nature;
the Irishmen, after their nature also, are
deisy and fierce, and both classes be
lieve that their comrades have been
uiutderetE The Celtic portion at least
ars very, demonstrative in-their expres
sin of this opinion, and their resentment
s qwrs. itself in their demeanor towards
every one ndt of their class and station.
One grayheeded old miner who guarded
&e$odies of the dead, was approaohed
b7' the -correspondent with a request
tiat be.'might be allowed facilities for
lqsrningthe oames cf.the unfortunates ;
the desire was civilly expressed,' and the
proper eredentials were shown, but the
mir broke out fiercely : 'Get their
names,.ius it? Pot on a- lamp on yer hat
then, and go down the shaft like a man
for their names. i suppose yeer here to
.aemoney out o'this. God d-n ye."

PROFESSO3 DuPRE'S LECTURE.
We were fortunate in being one of"the .
number who listened to Prof. DuPre's f(
splendid lecture in the Methodist
Church Monday night last. The sub
ect-"The Relitions of Science with Re
ligion" was so ably, clearly, poetically n
ind logically treated, that we sat en- o
tranced and lost to all sense of departing
time until admonished by the close of
the lecture. i
And, deserving as was the 0)ject of
this lecture, and extensively as it was
announced, yet, for some reason,or for no
reason at all, there were but few of our
intelligent and monied citizens present. (
We do not include ourself among
those classes, but we were present, and
most royally were we entertained and in
structed by as eloquent a discourse as :
we have had the privilege of listening to t
for many a day.
The Professor intends delivering ler- i
tures through the several towns of this t
State, in order to raise funds for the re
pairing and purchasing new chemical and
philosophical apparatus for the use of
Wofford College, and we hope he will
meet with all the success his high tal
ents and eminent attainments, together
with so noble an object, deserve.
DEPLORABLE CASUALTY.
A portion of the trestle over Conga
ree swamp, upon the S. C. R. R., (near
Kingsviile) was destroyed by a fallen
tree, last Saturday night, and owing to
darkness the engine and a number of
freight cars which preceded the express
coaches were thrown into the gap, and
destroyed by fire. The engineer, Mr.
Sebron Hargrove, was burnt to death,
and Mr. J. Gilbert, fireman, instantly
killed. Thirteen freight cars and con
tents were destroyed-loss to the Rail
road Gomipany, over $100,000. The
mails were saved. The express messen
ger saved all his money packages except
$120, but the express and through
freight and passengers' luggage were
lost. We learn there was no insurance
upon the goods by the Railroad. The
conductor's and the passenger's coaches
were uncoupled and run back, preven
ting a fearful loss of life. Grtat credit
Is given to all the officers of the train
for presence of mnind,-courage and de
votion to the sufferers. The scene was
truly fearful, and strong men shed tears
at sights that probed their hearts' delpth.
It is said that Mr. Hargrove met his sad,
quick, melancholy death with cool com
posure. -Painful indeed must have been
the message which he sent to his1rife.

THE AVONDALE DISASTER
Quick upon the lightning's flash which
conveyed the sad tidings of the Avondale
disaster, and which has made countless
numbers mourn, comes the intelligence
from Europe that disasters somewhat
similar have occurred in Prussia and in
England. Over one hundred men and
boys perished in the Avondale mine
leaving several hundred widows and or
phans. Alas ! what a congregate of
gri ' for the widowed hearts at the little
hast of Avondale. "Childish endear,
ments, and cruel separatin and return,
aid sudden destru~ction,'' are the staples,
says the Ulearth and Ii[ene, for a true,
sad, sweet story, -a new tal6 Qf Wyo

H EARD . FRo.-From an interesting
letter in the Columbia Pho~nix, of the
16th, we extract the following pleasant
item which refers to the "position" a
gallant Newberrian occupied in the late
grand ball at White Sulpher Springs :
Col. Chris. Suber, the irrepressible
and irresistable, was to be seen here,
there and everywhere; at one ti'ne en
couraging a bachelor friend from Colum
bia to- throw off his wall-fiowerishness
and participate in the pleasures of the
"light fantastic;" at another daintily es
corting a lady around the room, or whirl
ing in the mazy dance; and again, as one
of the floor committee, arranging the
sets. But we fear this is his last visit
to .the springs-he is now, it is reported,
on the wing, dancing attendance upon a
charming widow from a Western State.
Verbum sat.
To-Oua MusicAL FIEN'S.-Believing
that the musical interests of our neigh
borhod will be benefitted by the intro
duction of Peters' Musical ~i.onthly, we
have made arrangements with the Pub
lisher to offer as follows-our paper one
year and Peters' Musical Monthly for
six months, (one volume,) for $3.75;
and when we tell our friends that this is
equivalent to giving them at least 60
pieces of Music, they will see that we
wish them all to "sing, play, and be
happy."
We are requested to ask if the Agri
ultural Society of Newberry is only G
tking a nap, or if it really be dead ?
Judge Orr will hold Court in New- e
erry on the second Monday in October, r
>r the trial of civil causes, commencing n
ith the suits at law and winding up g
ith the trial ofvauses in Equity.
We mention that orders for laborers I
ust bo given to the General Agent of e
ur Inigration Society, F. W. Brug
emann, as soon az possible.
Mr. J. A. Bedenbaugh will accept our C
hanks for a handsome cake sent us from
be late Sunday School festivial at St.
r
.uke's.
The celebrated "Planters Tonic," for .
hills, Dyspepsia, &c., can be had at
mith & Christian's. It is also a good c
ppetizer.
What place in the picture wi the
Zewberry Agricultural Society have in l
he approaching fair at Columbia ?
TaE WEATHER, &c.-The weather continues
rrepressibly warm and dry. Owing to the ex%
reme and long continued drought the cotton
as opened much earlier than usual. About 600
ales of new cotton have changed hands in our
sarket.
Time flies upon slippers of list, and it 1
s very precious. The 11th of November
s the opening day for the Agricultural
ir at Columbia.
Many of our merchants are North
ome in Richmond, Baltimore and Phil
Ldelphia, and others in New York, Bos
on and elsewhere, laying in all the latest
tyles of goods suitable to this market.
ewberry can boast of quite a number of
nterprising merchants.
Mr. Edward Poeiss, of Charleston,
rho has traveled through North and
south America, states, that he found
:hills and fever especially in such coun
ries where the people eat much corn
)read and hominy. The physictans of
yur country would oblige us by giving
heir opinion about this matter.
Saturday last was a lively day; the
;ide walks were lined with pedestrians,
nd the streets and public squares filled
with conveyances and wagons laden with
>ur great staple. Cotton buyers and mer
:hants were quite busy. The merchants
ere pleased with their cash transactions.
fhe day closed with John Barleycorn
>ugely in the ascendant among the col
red gentry.
During the past week we were forci
yly reminded, of the transitory nature of
til earthly bliss, by receiv'ng the an
aouncement of a wedding, and within a
ew short hours thereafter, the sad in
~elligence of the death of a near relative
f the bride, who was present and took
art in the ceremony. Truly, sunshine
s swiftly..ucceeded by shadlow, emi1es
carcely wreath themselves upon the
iuman countenance, cre they are chased
mway by tears. Such is'ife. We allude
:o the sudden demise of Mr. Cald well W
icMorries.
The Newberry Sugar Mill is now in
>peration. Those having cane can get it
rounid at once for one-third toll. A bout
0 gallons to a heavy four horse load is
he usual yield. The syrups are granu
ating, but further time is required to
~now exactly what proportion will make
gar. It is to be regretted that the
ield of cane is not large the present
season, for in view of the Cuban trouble
ugars will rule high the coming winter.
Although the work done will be comn
paratively ligh t the present year, a divi
lend of 10 per cent. will be declared.
RELIGIo's ITEMs.-There will be no
ervices at Aveleigh Church Wednesday
ight and next Sabbath, owing to the
tbsence of the pastor at Presbytery.
The regniar quarterly Conference
neeting commences at the Methodist
hurch Wednesday night of the present
week. The pastor will be assisted by
Revd's W. H. Fleming, Sam'l B. Jones,
ifanning Brown and J. H. McKenny.
The Methodist Church at this place
now has a melodeon. The organ lends a
sweet charm to religious services and
dfords a salutary inspiration to the
mind.
Last Sunday eve Prof'. DuPre delivered to
te yong of this town, including the Sunday
school schiolars of all denominations, a beau
tiful and instructive address at the Metho
dist Church.
We regret much that we have not the
space to devote to an extensive synopsis of
4is subject, so replete as it was with forcible,
lcar .and simple truths thab should be more
pniversally admitted by the old and incul,
rated in the yourig.
The pnofessor comizenced his lecture
with a touching and pathetle- reference to
his former labors among the youths of this
town for five years, and he evidently regards
that sea-on of his labors in the school of in,
struction as one of the green spots in the
garden of his memory.
He sought first to dissipate from the minds
f his hearers the false and pernicious notion
of any thing in this world happening by
chance; that in reality every effort has its
adequate cause, and that the great source of
a cause was God.
Then by forcible and familiar, but beauti
ful illustrations, peculiary adapted to the
young minds of-his audience, he showed the
great power, goodness and providence of
God in His creation, preservation and perpet
ation of His great gifts to man. After this
he sought to show that all these great works
of he Creator in the mineral, insect and an,
imal kin&dom, do persistently and u.niver,~
sally carry out the design of their Creator in
the world.
Here he supposed the query to be put by
the children otf "Why am I placed in this
world." and then in a clear, concise and bril%
lant manner, which was eminently calcu%
lated o convince, proceeded to show that
man, like this grand creation, was brought
into existence to work out thd will of God.
During this part of his address the speaker
rose with his subject, and while he, in a sar,.
catic strain rebuked the idler and also those
who attempt to reach high hgniors from
wrong motives, directed attention to the
beauties of industry and learning when
pursued with noble objects and based upon
slid, moral princin1le
We invite attention to notices in another

:TIME AND ETERNITY.
We are sojourners from Time to Eter
nity. Time is short, Eternity never
ends. How swift -they pass,. how fast the
years roll on and bring us- to the ap
pointed time when we must pass from
Tie to Eternity. Time, oh how short.
If we should be permitted to live all the
days that are allotted to man, which are
three score and ten years, even then
it is short.
But how fewr survive that time, how
many pass away in Infancy and in the
bloom of life to Eternity. We can not
recall time thereforec we should be dili
get striving to improve every minute
oour short time as it glides swiftly by
to launch us into Eternity. If we have
not improved our time as we should
have done we can can not recall one inch
f it for our race is run, our ship of life is
at anchor and w'e are on the shore of
Eternit% Ushered into a world of Eter
nal bliss or Eternal woe.
How we strive for earthly gains all
striving for the glittering prizes of
earth.
And if we should attain all the riches
and honors of this world what would it
avail us if we had not the love of Christ,
why should we be so intent upon earthly
treasures when we have such a short
time to enjoy them.
A few years and we are no more of
this world. Eternity is at hand. Eter
nity never ending..
Then let us strive for riches and hon
ors that will never die, the honors and
glory of God. They will take us safely
over lifes rugged main, and death we
will not fear. We will anchor safe on
the other shore when we. have passed
from Time to Eternity.

LovE Is BLIND.-A curious marmiage
occurred last week in St. Louis. A
stone-blind bridegroom was led by his
blushing bride to the altar of a Justice
of the Peace. That honest and benevo
lent functionary felt it to be his duty tc
inform the poor blind man that the
chosen of his heart wias really one of the
ugliest women in the world, and that
she had already, to his certain knowl
edge, buried two husbands. To this the
bridegroom responded that he had seers
the lady a great many years ago, and
fat, according to the best of his recol
lection, she was then "a thing of beau
t" and a form of life and light." As the
unfortu.ate man insisted upon being
married to this dream of his earlier and
happier days, the knot was tied; but the
Justice swore that he couldn't in con
science take a fee for doing it, and so the
poor victim was led away rejoicing.

DAVIS' P.IN KILLER has' won for itself a
reputation unsurpassed in the history of
medical preparations. It is as well known
in the trading ports of India and China as
in Ndw York and Boston ; and its con inually
increasing demand, where it has been long
est known, is one of its strongest recom
mendations and best advertisements. It
began to be favorably known in A. D. 183',
and has ever since been gradually growing
into public- favor, till, in thousands of
families, it has come to be considered an
article of such necessity that they are
never without a supply of it to resort to it.
case of accident or sudden illness. It is
not unfrequently said of it :-we would as
soon think of being without flour in the
house as without Pain Killer." It gives,
immediate relief in case of scald or burns
as well as in the sudden attack of Diarrhoea,
Dysentery, or other similar affections of the
bowels; and, being an entirely vegetable
preparation, it is as safe as it is reliable. The
promptness and certainty with which it acts
in relieving all kin !s of pain, tvakes it emi
nently worthy its name- PAIN KILLER-a
name easily understood, and not easily for
gotten.
In Gholera it has been eminently successful,
curing hundreds of the severest cases, and
never, to our knowledge, having failed in a
single instance when used according to
directions in the earlier stages of the dis
ease.
No medicine has been more successful in
curing FEvER and AGQUE. For a sudden
Cold it is almost a specific. Rheumatic and
Neuralgic affections give way to it when all
other remedies have failed. It is eminently
a FAMILY MEDIcINE, and by being kept
ready for immediate resort in cases of ac
cident or sudden attack of disease, has
saved many in hour of sufferit.g, and
many a dollar in time and doctors' bill.

gglT IS SAID THAT CAL
ISAYA Bark has a peculiar effect upon the
liver, and guards the system against dis,
eases by exposure and irregular diet. It is
conceded that the great sucee<s of the won
derful Plantation Bitters, w bich previous to
our late unhappy difficulties, -was found in
most Southern homes, was owing to the ex
tract of Calisaya Bark which it contained as
one of the principal ingredients. In con
irmation of this we have heard one of our
distinguished Physicians remark, that when
ever he felt unwell from ordinary dietetic or
atmospheric Causes, he invariably. relieved
himself by Plantation Bitters. We speak
advisedly when we say that we know it to
be the best and most popular medicine in
the world.

WASIATIC CHOLERA IN
China. Almost every case cured with PAIN
KILLER.
.From Rev. R. Telford, Missionary In China,
now visiting his home In Penn.
WAsHING TON, Penn.
DEAn Sius:-During a residence of some
ten years as a missionary in Siam and
China, I found your Vegetable Pain Killer a
most valuableremedy for that fearful scourge,
the Cholere.
In administering the medicine I found
It most effectual to give a teaspoonful of
Pain Killer in a gill of~ hot water sweetened
with sugar; then, after about fifteen minutes
begin to give about a teaspoonful of the
same mixture every few minutes until relief
was obtained. Apply hot applications to
the extremities. Bathe the stomach with
the Pain Killer, clear, and rub the limbs
briskly. Of those who had the Cholera,
and took the medicine faithfully in the way
stated above, eight out of ten recovered.
Truly yours,
R. TELFORD.
If attacked with the Diarrhcaa, Dysentery,
'amp, Colic, don't delay the use of the
PAIN KILLER.
FtTNGCHOW, CHINA.
DEAR Sins :-During a long residence in
China I have used your invaluable Pain
Killer, both in my own family and among
the Chinese, and have found it a most ex
cellent medicine. In the summer of 1862
and '63, while residing in Shanghai, I found
it an almost certain cure for Cholera, if used
in time. Indeed, using it in a great many
instances, [ do not remember failing in a
single case. For three years I have been
residing in this place, more than fifty miles
from a physician, and have been obliged to
fall often upon my own resources in_cases of
sickness. The Chinese come to us in great
numbers for medicine and advice. Though
without medical knowledge ourselves, the
few simple remedies we can command are
so much in advance even of their physicians,
that we have almost daily applications. We
allow them to come, because it brings us In
contact with them, and opens a door of use.
fulness. In diarrhcea, colic, vomiting. chol%
era, coughs, etc., your PAIN KILLER has
been my chief medicine. * *
