mond correspondent of the Charleston Courier gives the
following lively description of a light and wholesome
spirit now manufactured to au immense amount in \ ir
ginia:
j "It cauterizes the mucous membrane of the windpipe,
sets the brain on lire, and sends n cold tremor through
the svstem ; the soldier who indulges in a half dozen nips
. is likely to stay druuk for a week and a second or third
application drives the breath out of the body. 1 '
Chain lighting and camphene-smashes ! there's a triple
to brew a " tod" from ! Wonder if it does all the things
enumerated when diluted with water ; if so we suppose
that a '• nip" of it swallowed in n raw state would can
glomerate the vesicles of the aerta, phlogistify the phylac
ter maxiraus, hemistitch up the hepatic ducts, insulate
the aspcrifolious gland, deflagrate the dodoniau process,
and wilt the buttons off the waistcoat, besides doing a
good many other things which It might be tedious to
specify. Our tangle-foot is no comparison.
EGU ST. PATRICK'S DAY IN TO WAND A—Mon
day last—St. Patrick's day—was duly " celebrated," in
this place. Everything past off ve-y quietly till towards
evening, when quite a serious disturbance occurred in the
vicinity of Bridge Street. Quite a crowd had congregat
ed at the difterent places of resort in that vicinity, during
the afternoon,and during the carrowsing two young fel
lows, L. AOKR and B. LOAT got into some difficulty, and
finally clenched for a regular " rough and tumble." At
this,the crowd became excited and taking respective sides
a general muss ensued. A: this juncture, our esteemed
I citizen. Rev. OLVER, who happened to be passing, inter
posed, with the intention of pacifying the excited mob,
when the notorious B. R. Tex, who is well known to our
citizens as a hard case, itruck the reverened gentleman
with such violence as to cause him to fall to the grouud.
He was borne off by Mr. R. AKE, who, in attempting to
rescue him, had several of his teeth knocked out, and was
otherwi-e materially injured.
The instigator of this disgraceful row is said to be Capt.
W. H. ISKET, who is of a q tarrelsome nature, and who
has been here on an unlimited furlough for some time.—
Altough he bears a disreputable character, he is unques
tionably an excellent recruiting officer, as he has succeed
ed in securing many volunteers in this place.
No arrests have yet been made, but it is hoped that the
[ ring leaders will be brought to justice, and the morality
: of our quiet towu vindicated.
J C££r PRIVATE THEIUITCALS IN WASHINGTON.
I—A correspondent of a New York daily paper, says that
. the first of a series of private dramatic performances came
off at the British Legation on Wednesday of last week.—
A large and brilliant audience was invited, including the
i diplomatic corps and most of the leading fashionables in
the capital. The following was the programme of the
evening's entertainments:
" The Serious Family," " Bombastes Furioso," " Box
and Cox."
The pieces were, on the whole, very creditably per
i formed. During the representation of •• Bombastes Fu
rioso," one or two amusing incidents are said to have oc
i curred. After the delivery of the lines by Bombastes
(Dr. LL. D. RUSSELL) :
" Whate'eryotir Majesty shall deign to name,
Short cut or long--to us is all tiie same,"
a wag on the back benches audibly added—
" Bo from Bull run the hortest cot yon came."
Sensation and a gene-al turning ro irtd of heads to de
tect the interpolator. He Was non est.
After the tremendous apostrophe to Destiffina
" By all the risks my fearless heart liath run—
Risks of all shapes from bludgeon, sword and gnn:
By the great hunch of laurels on iny brow,"
there again came from the same quarter this unexpected
! completion of the quatrain—
" A rhaplet ol icelcs w>uld better fit it now."
1 Renewed agitation. Suspicious glances directed to-
I wards a rollicking l io'iiug Irishman, at lerk iu one of the
, departments. Big drops of prespiration chased each
j other down the vissagc of the preplexed Bombastes.
| When he came to the passage—
" In some place Ml find a gloomy cave ;
There my own hands shall dig a spacious grave ;
Then, all unseen, I'll lay me down and die.
Since—"
'• All my prophecies events belie,"
again added his indefatigable "tormentor. This put the
climax to Bombastes' troubles. The well bred audience
could no longer restrain their merriment. Ro discom
posed by it was the hurley warrior that he could scarcely
muster strength enough to attach his boots—his gage of
battle —to the tree. His tormentor took pity on hira and
let him gurgle out in peace his last adieus to the wurfj.

EMERY'S
Celebrated Threshing Machines,
EMERY'S ONE AND TWO HORSE POWER- re
too well and popularly known to need any description
from me, and I will only say that they continue to i;e
scrve the reputation they have enjoyed for ten years of
being the " best Endless Chain Horse Power in u-e.
These Powers possess conveniences and advantages pos
sessed by no other power.
EMERY'S NEW PATENT
THRESHER AND CLEANER
This a new Machine, and ha- not before been intro
duced into this region. It has no endless chain straw
carrier, but separates all kinds of grain thoroughly from
the straw, by a combination of Pitts' Endless Canvass
Celled Apron, a new Improved Revolving Picker, and
the well known Vibrating Riddle. It is a simple,durable
and efficient Machine, will thresh rapidly aud clean thor
oughly, without wasting, all kinds of grain. It will not
choke, run easily and steadily, without jumping, and is
warranted to be superior to the common Rake Cleaner
now in use. It remains only to be seen and tested, to be
pronounced by every experienced hand at threshing, to
be an admirably contrived and constructed Thresher and
Cleaner.
EMERY'S IMPROVED THRESHERS & SEPARATERS
are not excelled by any in market, are well constructed,
simple and durable, fam prepared to supply all kinds

The Collegiate year is divided into three terms of 14
weeks each. The Anniversaiy exercises will be held at
the close of the Spring term.
No deduction will be made for absence, except in ease
of protracted illness of over two weeks.
Instrumental Music will not,as heretofore, be taught in
the Institution,but by special arrangement—a class will
be taught in a hall adjoining the grounds of the Institute,
by the Teacher of Vocal Music.
This arrangement has been adopted for the past term,
and experience has proved it to be eminently superior to
the plan pursued in former years. Special pains will be
taken to secure the greatest progress <d those wishing to
take lessons in this branch. Terras will be as heretofore:
Tuition on Piano Forte, per term 110 00
Use of instrument on which to take lessons £0
do for practice 2 0*"
Pupils boarding in the Hall will furnish their own tow
els, Ac., and the table silver a. their option. It is de-ira
ble that they also furnish their own bed and bedding
when it i- convenient, but when otherwise, these will lie
furnished at a slight charge.
It is strongly recommended that students from abroad
should board in the Institution, as better opportunities
for advancement in study are thereby secured.
Normal Department— Special exercises are arranged
without extra charge for those preparing themselves as
Teachers of Common Schools. Prof. C. R. COBURN.the
able and well known Superintendent of Common Schools
in the county, has kindly consented to organize the Tea
cher's class, and direct tbe course to be pursued.
He will al-o be present to conduct its exercises, as often
ns practicable, and will deliver frequeut lectures on tbe
Theory and Practice of Teaching,as also onothcr subjects
connected with Normal training.
Those persons, therefore, intending to engage in teach
ing for the winter, will find it greatly to their advantage
to be present during the Fall term.
Prof. Coburn'a connection with the institution is not
such as to in any way interfere with the discharge of the
regular duties of his office.
No pains will be spared, on the part of the Faculty and
Trustees in sustaining the high repulutation the institu
tion has hitherto enjoyed, and iu rendering it more wor
thy of future patronage and support
