Aai mterestinlg 'prty' of ladies and eteme., from the city of Jalapa, vis ited Charleston last week. They had a multitudinously interesting time see ing the sights. Among other places visited was Sullivan's Island. We re gret to say that there they met with a mishap. They wvent over in the 10 o'clock boat intending to return at 12, but the fine stretch of beach beguiled them and they missed the boat by two minutes, and had to remain until 6, Iwhat made the matter more deplorable Iwas that they had no dinner. When they returned to the city and the shel. tering arms of the Waverly -House, it need hardly be said that supper was disposed of with zest. Mr. J. C. Koon, of Smokey Town, lost a hog some time last week. He did not know whether it had gone up by the aid of a fifteenth amendment, or by spontaneous combustion. It happened, however, that Mr. Stock* man, while going through his field, found the hog in possession of a darkey, who was made to shoulder the defunct porker and carry it all the way to Pros. perity, a distance of seven miles. Trial Justice Fellers gave him thirty days in jail. Jordan is a hard road to travel. This is the first theft reported fromx Smokey Town. - ELECTIONS.-The election for mem ber of the House, to take Tom Keitti -- VANDALISM. - A gentleman whc planted three beautiful Magnolias in the Cemetery, found Sunday that two of them had beenrstolen.

We don't like to repeat, but can't help once more saying Christmas will be here next Tuesday. The next HERALD will go to press on Monday as the printers take holiday on Tuesday. Cbristmas presents intended for the editors or printers can be brought in on Monday. Wednesday last was a blue day with the merchants:-trade was dull. College closes Friday for holiday vacation. Oysters are wanted in this market last winter there was a surfeit-now none can be had. Chickens and turkeys must be looked after now-it is a dangerous time. J. M. Crawford and J. P. Hardy have associated themselves together in the sale of Dry Goods and Groceries. The farmers last week must have been sowing wheat; so few came to town. The HERALD office is on the corner of Caldwell and Friend streets; there is a sign in front of it; the door stands open. Housekeepers are in despair, so scarce are eggs. There will be but lit tle egg nog next week. Job printing from a visiting card to a poster executed at this office, cheap. Call and examine specimens. J. B. Leonard & Co. have in store a fine assortment of sweet things for the holidays. What is the Town Council going to do in relation to the shooting of fire crackers? The boys want to know. Look out for the Christmas Story in next HERALD-send in your names. The scene is laid in Newberry. When a young lady has to stay at home from a party on account of a sty on her eye, it is useless to tell her that Providence doeth all things for the best. Friday, the 21st, will be the shortest day in the year. Amoner the rclerical duties performed REMINISCENCES-POMARIA POST OFFICE. BY OUR SPECIAL DOTTIST. "c ct uda Mobilibus PoMARIA rivs."-Hor-A:. About the year 1790, the first 'ost office for this section of country ww- es tablished on "Tanner's Hill," near the present depot. John Folk, son of Ja cob Volk (as the name was then writ, ten), one of the original settlers, a tan ner-from whose vocation the .hill re ceived its name-was appointed post master. The mails at that time were monthly; then, semi-monthly; then, weekly; and were conveyed on horse back from Ninety-Six, Greenville, and Spartanburg to Columbia. Peter Dick ert, whose writings still attest his ex cellence in penmanship, acted as deputy post-master, mailing the letters from time to time as they accumulated in the office. Of him, the following an ecdote is still related: The Post Office Department. having observed the chi rographic skill displayed in the office, wrote to Mr. Folk, stating that it per ceived he had a clerk, and that it could not afford to allow him salary. Squire Dickert replied, in substance, "that the Department need give itself no unne cessary uneasiness, as his only expected salary was a peck of chinquepins, when ever picked and bulled by himself." The office was continued at this place until about 1817, when it was located for a short time at the store of Solomon Suber's, on the spot now occupied by Dr. Berley's medical office. Thence it was removed to Col. Jacob Counts', where it received the name of Counts ville, and where it remained until the death of Col. Counts in 1826. Thence it was removed to Col. William Counts', where it remained until October, 1831, when it was transferred to Capt. John Summer's. Here it remained, under the name of Countsville, until about the year 1845, when our venerable fellow citizen, Wm. Summer, Esq., established the Pomaria Nurseries, and, with a fine classical taste for which he continues admired at home and abroad, baptized -oth with the name POMARIA, unparal pled perhaps in beauty. During the time the office was at Col. William Counts', the mails were sipplied semi-weekly with a two-horse hick; whilst at Capt. Summer's, there sns a tri-weekly transit in four-horse stiges. Thus it continued, until early in 1851, when William Summer, Esq.. khdly consented at the request of Col. William Spencer Brown, to transfer both name and office to the railroad de po; established here. it remains only for us to express the ho>e that our fellow-citizens will re manber its origin, its meaning, and its hisory, and see that this beautiful name shll never become a pseudonym. ON GRAIN AND TURNIPS. BY OUR POMARIA DOTTIST. Too many of our people are, we fear, rater negligent about sowipg grain adl turnips. For their benefit, we re spectfully tender the following as the results of certain scientific investiga tiaas recently made, regardless of time and trouble, by the writer: 1st. That the trees next Spring pro bably will not beair a more bountiful supply of biscujts than hleretofore. 2nd That hogs will respectfully de cline turnips as an article of diet-un less they are procurable, in which case they will be found a sovereign remedy against the cholera. 3d. That horses and mules will just as willingly eat oats next Spring, as to naw their troughs and meditate on the utter vanity of human forethought and human providence. 4th. That our cows are not going "to chew the cud" of contentment the en tire Winter, unless they succeed in se curing a bit of something more digesti ble than mucky oak leaves and cockle brs. 5th. That our hogs, the loss of an oc casional bouquet of turnips notwith standing, will i>robably remain fat and happy, having at last discovered, after many long years of patient investiga tion, wbilst thrown upon their own re sources, that it is at least possible to live on pine roots, which are moreover healty-in the absence of everything else-and, "providentially," too difficult to be dug and stored away by man. 6th. That our sheep and goats, which are highly jubilant over the possession of stomachs as kindly accommodating as that of an ostrich, may possibly sur vive the Winter and Spring -by eking out an existence on such delectable tid bits as they may anywhere discover un appropriated by other animals, and for tunately overlooked by the provident eye of the owner. THE 1IZzY~ BLONDE~S.-Thursday a strolling company came in unannounced on the train and scattered bills of a mysterious character around the streets. Soon it began to be whispered that the celebrated "Dizzy Blondes" had come and would exhibit in the Town Hall at night. Some who had read and heard of their performances in Charleston and Columbia were indignant, and said the Intendant ought not to allow it-in wardly hoping, however, that he would. When the hour for the performance ar rived a crowd of boys rushed in; but not so with the older ones. They stood on the corner-waiting, watching, scheming. There were two or three dozens standing there--all by chance; one was froing home from his store, another had come to the drill, others were "just walking about." Nobody intended to go. "No," said one, "'taint fit to be seen," and then walked off, dodged around the corner, and in he went. When the reporter entered .he found every man there who didn't in tend to go. There were old men whose saintly faces on Sabbath days adorn the front pews of our churches, young men of the Y.~M. C. A., and boys in their teens, all crowded in a mass as near as possible to the stage, with eager eyes expecting the dizzy blondes. The cur tain rose and-such a sight !-a girl, of apparently sixteen, dressed-shall we tell ?-like a country miss at a Sunday School picnic. She was'nt dizzy, and she wasn't blonde. Then those indignant young men were disgusted. But they waited to see. A negro, with a calico suit and red cap, came out, and per formed several wonderful feats of leger demain-and the performance closed. BISHOP MARVIN'S BOOK OF TRAVELS. If you want a copy of this interesting book, leave an -order at the HERALD STATIONERY STORE. Dec 12 so--tf. College Column. G. D. HIALTICrANGER, Editing Committee. G. B. Csomit.Rg Communications designed for this columri to be directed to the Editing Committee, Newberry, S. C. Newberry College. We are pleased to observe that in regard to the college, the aspect of affairs is any thing but discouraging. The Faculty and students have labored under great disad vantages since the opening on the 19th of September. These inconveniences will be removed within a month. The tenth of hnuary next will, it is hardly to be doubt ed', find the college in the college building. We'shall then expect a new impetus to he givetn to the progress of the college by the citizens of Newberry. This expectation is founded on the belief that the good people of this town and county are not ignorant and careless of their interests. In this connection, we would most re spectfully state that a division of labor is in order, and on this division depends the for tune of the college. Responsibilities rest upon the Lutheran Church, the Faculty of the college, and the citizens of Newberry, and there can be no shifting of these re sponsibilities. We do not feel called upon or competent to enter into a discussion of the action of the Lutheran Synod in placing the college on its present basis. It is enough to know that, for the present, its fortunes rest with the Faculty, and the people of Newberry ; though we cannot refrain just here from reminding the members of the Lutheran Church in this State that they have not displayed that zeal for the college which might reasonably have been expect ed. Too many, instead of exerting them seives to send students to the college, have been content occasionally to carp at the Faculty for supposed failures to discharge its duties. In short, the Faculty of New berry College has at various times and by prominent and influentit members of the Lutheran Church, been seriously charged with not having wrought miracies. A strange idea sr.enhs to prevail among a cer tain class, that when a man is elected to a professorship in an institution of learning, and especially in Newberry College, he is at once to saddle upon himself all sorts of labor, fit or unfit, while others, who should feel and take equal interest in the work, stand by only to applaud or deride accord ing as he succeeds or fails. We would now appeal particularly to the good sense of the people of Newberry. The mere removal of Newberry College from Walhalla is, of course, no guarantee of its success. It has only undergone a new birth. All available and proper means should be employed to promote its growth. It is now with the people of Newberry. If they do for it what it is in their power to do, its per, manent existence is certain ; otherwise, ia untimely death is not less sure. -Now is the time for the people of New berry to act. Delays are dangerous and fortune must not be dallied with. The world moves and it moves fast. What is easy of accomplishment to-day, may be past possi bility to-morrow. The Faculty will employ their time and talents to make the college in every way worthy of patronage. They consider it their highest duty to adopt such methods of instruction, as are favorable to a rapid development of the mind ; and recognizing the fact that a college, not characterized by practical progress is unworthy of the pres ent age, they make it their constant en deavor to give such education as the times demand. The benefit which the people of Newberry will reap from the permanent establishment of Newberry Co.llege, cannot be easily over estimated. The adva~nced standard of in telligence will in itself be ample compensa tion for the liberal part they have done, and whatever in the future they may do, to make it securely their own. H. Dr. Mayer's lecture before the students of the college on Thursday afternoon was exceedingly interestin;g and instructive. The introduction embraced a comparative statement of the earthy and animal matter of which the hone in the human body is emposed, in youth, manhood, and old age. n conclusion he lifted tbce fashionables out of their tight boots. "Every stamp to thrust the foot in a tight boot, dislodges a shower of golden moments from the tree of life." Professor-What did the Trojans do on landing on the shores of Italy ? Student-They started to sacrifice a milk white sow. Prof.-What was the result ? Student-She escaped and ran off to a ill and produced thirty litters. FoR THE.HERALD. Our WVashingtonl Letter. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 12, 1877. Yesterday was one of the few days since October 15th, that this Congress may justly be proud of. In the House there was a dignified debate upon the Mexican question, and members of both parties united in what must be considered a warning to the Ad ministration against plunging the country into war. Your correspondent has not fail ed, from the first, to expose what ne be lieved was a wicked as well as formidable effort of certain powerful gangs of specula tors and adventurers to involve the two countries in hostilities. There was never more danger of the success of such a scheme than on yesterday, and it is to the infinite credit of Representatives Hewitt, Hale, Ste phens, Garfield and others that they said and did what will certainly cause the Ad ministration to halt if it was, as feared, about to take steps which could only end in war. In the Ser.ate, Mr. Eustis, of Louisiana, was admitted to his seat and not by a party vte. For the record of yesterday, so far as these facts go, the House and Senate are entitled to the thanks of the country. Senator Mathews spoke in favor of his resolution, which is to the. effect that all debts of the United States may be paid in silver dollars of 412j grains each. The speech of Mr. Mathews was an able one, but the most interesting portion of the debate was the unreserved manner in which Mr. Thurman advocated remonetization of sil Justice Harlan, of the Supreme Court, was yesterday sworn in and took his seat. The way Edmunds was beaten in this case is amusing. He was well known to be op posed to confirmation, and it was thought if he was present when a vote was to be ta ken, he would, without making himself con spicuous in the matter, set the party ma chinery to work to cause a rejection. So the friends of Harlan called up the subject in Executive Session while Edmnunds was taking a needed repose after the Butler Kellogg contest, and confirmed their man. Then they made a motion to reconsider the vote of confirmation for the reason, as they said, that "Senator Edmunds, Chairman of the Judiciary Committee was absent." If Harlan had been rejected after that the re sponsibility would have been on Edmunds, and therresult shows that he did not care to have the subject go to the country in that shape. An instructive statement of the cost of public printin~g in South Carolina for two years is made. One year was under carpet bag rule when Chamberlain, Patterson and the rest had the State by the throat, and the other is for the current year. The car pet-baggers took $250,000. The cost for this year is about ~6.OOO. All your readers lation say to an annual printing bill of a quarter of a million. It is now understood that Mr. Morrison will be Chairman of the Committee on Pa cific Railroads. Mr. Potter declined this Chairmanship on account of his business re lations with those prominently interested in the Texas Pacific. All the bi:ls so far pre sented giving subsidy to this latter road have pre--isions Tzrding Government in terests more carefully than in previous sub sidv bill,. It remains to be seen whether Congress can be rmade.o believe that there will be no risk in aiding the Road. Con vinced of that, there would be no delay in adopting the bill of Mr. Stephens. SOLON.
