A farmer residing in the south part Of
the County, writes among other things,
that
"There is great difference in the
breed Of cait!e,-nore than most people
think there is. Yon may take some
calves and feed them of proper food all
they will eat and yet they will produce
small cattle. With the same food, 9TH
er calves, but Of good breed, will pro-
duce stock of twice the weight. Some
say that stock Of IN improved breed re-
quire superior quality of fare and bet
ter attention. This is also a mistake (;
scrubby cattle require more attention III
keep them from getting on the lift, as
the saying is, than good stock do.
If you want TO have good beef good
cows and good cattle, get such breeds as
are best adapted for the respected use
which you desire: steer that is good
for work is inferior for beef; good
mich cow also makes poor beef. A
work steer should be what is called.
light and nimble made for action, well
strung with nerve and hair, short and
thin hide; for tender beef you want a
steer with long hair and Loose frame
the frame we'll filled with tallow in all
the loose parts"

I5%We have received, as the favor of
Mr.. J. HuNsAKfR, near Fairplay, a
small lot of seed corn, said TO be an ex-
cellent variety. 1t is claimed for this
corn, that il turns off a much larger
quantity TO the acre, that it perfects or
ripens in good season, and is as sure a
crop as any other kind. Mr.. H. has
raised this Kind on his farm for several
years, and has reputation for raising
superior crops Of corn every year -
whether his success is because he is a
better farmer, or that he plants superior
seed than his neighbors may be con,ec-
tured, but we advise others 10 initiate
his example in both respects, and then
they will be as successful. We shall
app0rton the corn in small lots TO who
ever applies, -:frst come first served. 1t
is the largest, finest appearing corn we
ever saw raised in the country.

SELECT ScHooL.-Mr. VIM. A
HOLMES, formerly of Ellenboro', will o.
pen select school at his new and beau
t;ful residence in Lancaster, on Monda,
next. He has gone to considerable ex-
pense in fitting up ro1.n and supply
ing it with such furniture as every
school room should be supplied with
also, the inclosed ground, upon which
his rooms are situated, is supplied with
cistern, ornamental shrubbery, trees,
grass plats, walks and most every other
pretty indispensable that either convent
ence or taste can require or devise. II
is needless TO remind parents that their
children will fare we'll under any teach
er who exhibits so much taste, and who
makes such liberal expenditures for their
comfort.
That the pebI lie of our village will pa
trSnize Mr.. HOLMES most literally we
have no doubt on lis behalf, we invite
people in the country 10 patronize our
select school also. Terms moderate, and
board may be had with private families
at low rates.

ylGoy. BARsTow has dealt out a
fresh supply Of Military titles Colo
nels, Generals, Majors and so on. Per-
'haps all of his predecessors did the same
but that is no excuse for his doing it,
The most sensible trick man, receiving
such trophy of Aatiery. can be guilty
of, is 30 throw his commission into the
fire. This is what orr acquaintance did
lately with his. There my be some
thing in title earned OH the battle field,
or on promotion in the ranks upon un-
uistakable evidences Of bravery but
otherwise, titling seesms like the very
extreme of ridicule. Who don't know
that, in event of war. the holder Of such
title is among the las, thought of to be
chosen for the place designated by his
commission? Even well earned IL
ties have got TO be nothing among pep
pie, as shown by tho late effort to make
General ScorT President over General
Pierce, the latter having only tried to be
o General, but could the former ha-
wing well earned the name. In the South,
Military titles are truly appreciated,
since most every negro boasts that he is
a Cesar, Pompey or Cato; Colonel,
Major or Captain.
