at his residence on Sullivan's Island, at the age
Of seventy.fve.
The people Of South Carolina will hear the

amember of the U. S. Senate, in all which pc;

The NEXT Hoe CROP OF KENTucKY.-In
the Courier Thursday We published full ia.
BILE of the assessment of six months old hogs
last year, and the returns from 93 counties this
year. By this estimate it appears there is an
increase this year of 2s5, ,742 hogs in the above
counties, over the entire estimate of last year
and eight or nine counties yet to be heard
from which will further increase the excess
The excessive drought which prevails through.
out the greater portion of Kentucky will ex-
ert much influence upon the hog market as
corn will be both scarce and high, and it is fair
to presume that the hogs will not come to the
hooks as large and fat as heretofore, In fact
we learn that many persons in the interior
have turned their hogs out and abandoned all
attempts to fatten them for slaughter. - =
