charitable purpose. With a "Goodsmio- the entertainment closed.

The Literary Club was formed principallyfrom scholars in the school ofMr. J. S. Brice, although many youngpeople not connected with the schoolare members. The whole entertainmentwas under the supervision ofMr. Brice and Miss Maggie Robinsou,and much of the success of theperformance was due to their effortsWe hope the Literary Club may see
fit to give another performance, andwith their small experience they nodonbt will be still more proficient.Crops in tiie County..The followingpartial report of the crop prospectsin Fairfield county appears in

The Gallant Defenders of the Flag of theSeventh Battalion.
The following communication appeal'sin the News and Courier:In your supplement of the 31st alt.,
in the article entitled the "Battle ofDrewry's Bluff," you print concerning"officers and men mentioned for gallantconduct" in Hagood's Brigade,"in Seventh Battalion, South CaroliuaVolunteers. Bersrt. J. E. Onbw Com-panv H., color-bearer, killed."There was no Onby in that command.Sergt. A. P. Irbv, of Company H,
was wounded at Drewry's Bluff onthe 16th, and promoted as ensign "forgallantr»" on the 25th May, 1864. Heis living, an honored and respectedcitizen of Laurens county.The first color-bearer killed at DiewRlnfFwfis R<vo+_ .T. "FT. (Intz. of
Company H, Edgefield." The nextkilled was Sergt. J. B. Robertson, ofCompany B, Fairfield. The colorethen fell to Sergt. George W. Kennington,of Company F; Lancaster, whowas badly wounded. The fourth colorbearerwas Sergt. Preston Cooper, ofCompany B, Fairfield. Both of thelatter were living at the last time Iheard of them.Young Cooper brought out the flag.
Its staff was riddled and shot in two,and its foulds had fifty-seven new bnl-icl-iivjus tuiuugu tuuuli aiiu. -acic as
cleau as 011 the day of their presentation,without a single rent or stain.War. M. Thohas.
Charleston, S. C., June 2, 1882.Judge Thomas is in error when he
says that Sergt. A. P. Irby "is livingan honored and respected citizen ofLaurens county.'7 Mr. Irby is a citizenof Fairfield and not of Laurens.Mr. Cooper referred to in the communicationabove was afterwards shot inthe leg at the battle of "Weldon Roadswitn rue same oaiue nag in ms uauus.
From this wound Mr. Cooper lost hisleg. It might be well to add that everyone of the color guard was killed or
shot down except Mr. Cooper and theflag though punctured with fifty-sevenbullet-hoTes not a one of the thirteenstars were touched.

THE CKOSBY INSTITUTE.
The Closing Exerclses---An Acaceinyofwhich Fairfield Should Be Proud.The Crosby Institute closed with afivedays examination on the 13th inst.
The exercises on the last day, whichwere as usual well attended, were entirelyvoluntary with the pupils and
A'
wholly extemporaneous, the Boardhaving acted on the advanced convictionthat the pnpils should struggle oftheir own accord for the acquisition ofready, practical knowledge; and thatit is on the whole better for the pupilsto fail, if necessary, in an examinationthan for the public to be even tempo-ramy deceived with elaborate displayswhose preparation bad squanderedaway perhaps two months of valuabletime. The brevity of the time demandeda mutilation of the progrmme. Thepart exhibited consisted of competitiveskill from volunteers in spelling with
lirt/YL- nn hlf>f>thnards. fn fwhich there were about a thousandsquare feet), and "by heart;" in reading;in writing on paper and blackboards; in arithmetic; in debating thesubject, "Which should wc make our

and the occasion appeared to be one ofmuch credit to the competitors, of entiresatisfaction to the patrons, and ofgreaj enjoyment (o "one and all." Thecompetition was so close as to renderthe decisions of the Awarding Committeea matter ofsome embarrassment.The following prizes, fciven by thu Principaland awarded by the various committees,were presented in his ususlnappy oy tne itev. jui\ jyianonvue

wrought out, contrary to all the establishedviews in teaching, we must believethat this Institute, which has vis t-1.loiy cuuu; iu uiijuy me re&ywi, uuuudeuce,esteem and well-wishing of allthe intelligence of the surroundingcountry, is evidently destined to retiresome of the treasured tenets of pedagogy,and marks a new educationalera-.for this section.

Ah! how sad to give back to earth one
so loved, so noble and so good, whose win- .
ning smile attracted all; one so eminently \qualified to complete our happiness here. 1
but, alas, tbe choicest fruit in the vineyard wasalso known to our Heavenly Father. ]TTo \vjic waller! to that far awav home of the f
soul. His favorite song was "Home of the <
Soul". IIow often have I listed to his jdear voice in singing these"words:£"Oh, how sweet it will ho in that beautiful <
land,So free from all sorrow and pain;
"With songs on our lips and with harps inour hands, ,
To meet one another again."Mr. Watt was born and raised in Fairfieldcounty^ South Carolina. He married
Miss Sallic J. Bell, of Mississippi, andmoved to Lind Grove, Louisiana, about t
1839, where for thirty-three years he made 5
his home. Two years ago he moved to. \Starkville, Mississippi, where after a long ]illness and much suffering he died on the <
29th ult. lie was a patient suiierer, ana
liis death was that of a Christian. liesaid he was "going home." For many .
years he was a member of the Methodistchnreli and superintendent of the SundaySchool at Lind Grove. The Lord Ibveth a
cheerful giver, then how surely he lovedhim, for lie "visited the Fatherless andWidows in their afflction" and many athome and abroad have cause to bless himfor his charii*^. lie leaves a wife and son
to mourn his luss. (
Oh, fond wife, who for thirty-five yearswas liis loving companion, grieve not wu .
much.your loss is his eternal gain, and in '
a little while you will meet the husband 1
you love so well. I never saw a more do- jvoted couplc.
"No frost, ;Their home's threshold ever crossed, \Com'e what might of good or ill, <Mutual love kept shining still,
Andwhen life some joy denied.Love still found them side by side,With the trust tney learneu xo snow,Five and thirty years ago."Though it had been many years since
Mr. Watt had lived in Fairfield, he stillloved the place of his birth, and oftenspent his summers here with his manyrelatives and friends. Such visits were as
bright oases to his relatives here who lovedhim so fondly; but, alas! our dear relativehas crossed that bourne from whence no
