BraIss with this number, and we had hoped
10 have entered upon it in o now and improved
dress. But the wherewith to purchase any addi.
tionul trimmings is somewhat lacking us yet. We
have many little two dollar bills due us, which, if
committed to our keeping by our kind but turdy
subscribers, would enable us to don an attire of
the newest and most fashionable description. To
do this has been and is still our intention. We
nre ambitious Of ct least equalling any Of our
temporarics in outward show. In short, we wish
sincerely to see the old ADVERTISER "shine out"
as it advances in years. 1t has now become re-
spectacle (from age if nothing else,) and has a
subscription list quite large enough to warrant US
in some extra improvements. But, unfortunately,
while many Of our subscribers pay with rigid
punctuality, others (and not few lose eight of
their little arrearages to entirely. In this way,
we have been kept back in the race of progress
and have seen other sheets, comparatively young,
leaving us in the shade, as far as eIternals are
concerned. Let our delinquent subscribers hut
come up to the scratch now, and we promise them
to brighten up our columns with nll imaginable
de1terity and taste.
We are really anxious to give our literary friends

tions to the public eye, and our subscribers gener
ally the advantage of q perfectly printed paper.

LUHATIc ASYLUM.

WE have seen the Report made 10 thS Legisla-
tnre by the Regents of this Institution, and have
read it carefully and with much satisfaction. II
is apparent, from the information impaired by the
different officers connected with the Asylum, that
this noble charity has already effected much good
for suffering humanity. 1t is now crowded to
overhowing with inmates Of various degrees Of
insanity. During the year ending November 5,h,
1851, twenty-five were entirely cured and eighteen
sent home much improved It is contemplated to
re-establish this Institution according to more
enlarged and improved system; and II, in tho
opinion of the Legislature, this step be deemed
s1pedent it is designed to locate II in the country
South Carolina was almost the first State in the
Union which founded on Asylum of this descrip-
tion. But others have now surpassed her by
adopting many recent improvements, which have
been shown TO be in accordance with the suggea-
tions Of more advanced science. Should we not
keep pace with the enlightened spirit of the ago
or are We, State, too poor or too niggard Of

to the Seasons, is that old Winter has been down

vengeance. 1t is said by old observers that the
temperature has bccn more steadily severe than
ever known in this latitude At the time we are

FARMERS and MECHANICS HEALTH ASS0
CATION,

WE have had before us copy Of the Farm
rs and Mechanics Health Journal" which seems
to be the organ OF the Health Association above
named. These Associations are, among the novel
ideas Of the day, not the least prominent or bene
fetal. 1t is good thing to avoid the " ills that
flesh is heir to" by care and circumspection. Blu;
when these means fail and an attack must be en-
countered, it is no bad thing to have an econmical
way of paying the Doctors bill This seems to
be achieved by the panof the aforesaid societies.
Not only may expensive bills be sometimes liqui-
dated in consideration Of small advance to the
general fund but, thus far, a dividend Of II l-2
per cent upon the investment has been declared.
This is q. rapid age and abounding in many origi-
nal institutions but if what we see in reference
to the one under consideration be true, 1t is des-
sned to take the lead Of all others, (human ones,
Of course, We msan.)

ATRocIous MURDER AND RoBBERY.-We
learn, that on Sunday night, about ! / o'clock
two persons came to the house of Mr.. Her.
ring, in Columbia county, on the Washing.
ton road, nine miles above Augusta, and
called him 10. the front door, and requesle ed
to be allowed to stay all night. He asked
them in. They told him TO come out, as
they had horse ard buggy with them. As
soon as he got outside the door he was shot
down. Mrs. Herring then barred the door
and prevented the entrance Of the murder
crs. About an hour afterwards they re-
turned and fired through an auger hole in
tic door and killed her. She died in few
minutes after being shot. They then en-
tered the house and took thcrefrom one
hundred and seventy dollars.
Mr.. Herring survived to give the above
particulars of this atrouious affair, ard was
still living Mt the last accounts. He was
shot twice, and has two balls in his body.
There is no prospect Of his recovery from
his wounds. He states that one of the men
was large and powerful mulatto fellow.
The othera white man.
A pack of good track dogs have been
procured and put in pursuit, and we hopc to
be enabled to announce tho arrest of the
murdcrers.
MIR. and Mrs. Herring were an elderly
couple, aged about 60 years each, and were
living by themselves, there being no other
persona, white or black, living on the pre-
Consti.utionalist.
