DGood medicines. Long.continued and
systematic putting will Succeedin bringing any
worthless nostrum before the public-hut lack
ing merit, it cannot long retain the position IL
for awhile assumed. We desire mercy to
make Stabler'S Anodyne Cherry Expectorant
known TO the public, feeling confident that so
good a medicine, which has been endorsed by
some ofthe brightest ornaments ofthc medical
faculty will realize its own popularity, and one
which will be as lasting as the good effects its
use is constantly producing. This excellent
medicine is very efficient in Coughs, Colds,
Bronchitis and other diseases of the lungs and
throat. 1t has been productive of beneficial
RESULTS in a great number of cases, in different
parts Of the country; and physicians Of tie
highest standing are in the habit Of using that

there were any misgivings in any of the

ces, and whose object is their cultivation and
improvement. As was very truly remarked by
member, the whole amount on record contri.
buted directly 10 advance the agricultural in
tereSt has been six thousand dollars. while.
millions have been voted for railroads and other
projects TO benefit the State. The Society
then has fair and just claim to the use Of a
fund to ADVANCE the Legitimate and essential
means of promoting the welfare Of the State,
and we have no doubt it will readily grant
what is desirable to be added tc the present
means of the society to render it permanent
institution.
Abbevie has done nobly in contributing
four thousand six hundred dollars and Rich.
land above three thousand FIVE hundred dollars,
in addition to grounds and buildings, for the
Annual Fair-and we have no doubt when all
the returns from other districts, and those.
mentioned, are received, that large amount
will be raised for the purpose Of the Associs-
ton.
1t is very gratifying to witness the garment
ness and zeal of this fine assemblage of repre-
sentative Of the landed interest of the country
and it gives US great pleasure to record testi.'
mony to so noble ali effort for protecting and
improving the homes Of South Carolina. The
spirit is aroused, the people are fairly awaken
ed to active effort, and we doubt not our be.
loved State will become as conspicuous for ng-
ricultural improvement rs size is for the patriot

good fortune to be present in the City Hall,
yesterday during the delivery of Col. Smkns,
address before the State Agricultural Society,
were in no respect disappointed in their an,ici :.
patins. Every one was pleased; ray more,
delighted with the matter and manner of the
address. 1t was brilliant display of happily
conceived aud beautiful thoughts, captivating:
the tastes and enhancing the attention of the
audience. 1t was not in the form Of an ESSAY.
discussing some practical subject of agriculture
but rather an inaugural speech, magnifying
the noble occupation of the farmer and planter
and illustrating the necessity Of improvement
and progress
1t was our intention to present our readers
with pretty full synopsis of the speech, but
inasmuch as the Society has determined to
publish it ard place it in its archives and fear
ing that we might do injustice to it and mar
its many beauties, we will await its appearance

A PANTHER k1LLED.-Nessrs. Eaitors--
Please let the following have place in your
useful paper, as it is quite novel occurrence
for this part of our country sent my son
George lad ofabout IA years of age 10 feed
some my dogs in the swamp, on the morn.
ing Of the 30th October last. The swamp is
called Cation Swamp, which is near my lower
plantation at the 81 mile house, He had not
been long in the swamp when two of the little
dogs took trail above quarter Of miles
and trecd large Panther. The boy then rode
home and got his gun and negro and went
back to the place in the swamp and fired at the
Panther and killed it, and brought it home on
his horse. 1t was 7l2 feet long, 2 feet inches
in height; the head was 90 inches round; its
its paw inches long and inches broad, and.
its weight l3o pounds. w. WHALEY,

swamps, which are almost in sight Of where
we stand, amid the sulIimity of primeyal nature,
they kept the sacred fires of liberty perpetually:
burning. Let us profit by this great precedent;
letus like your ancestors place c"un.ry before
every other consideration let our motto be
everything for our country, nothing for our
selves" Then we may hope for happy fu-
ture; or if otherwise, the proud conviction will
be ours, that it was not our fault, but the Do.
crees of malignant destiny.
