Our crop of corn in 1850 was estimated

Besides these staple articles, we have a
long list of exports, which would swell the

But we have not finished the reckoning.

Il Cool Word for tile Ladics.-Somc Of
the papers are lecturing women upon ex
travagance in dress, and advising them to
retrench, especially during the present f.
nanclol difficulty. Doubtless there are
many cases of unwarrantable extravaganza
IN this way; but do people ever consider
that two or three glasses of brandy and
half dozen regalias, INDUCED in daily by
a man. to say nothing of FIVE and ten dollar
u'nners, amount to more in a year than
would he required to dress woman I'M to
tl'e full requirements of fashion Much Of
this talk about the extravaganza of women
is nonsense. They are almost upiversallv
careful, and many trader would to ,,,y
have been safe and sound If he had lis,epeJ
10 The prudent counsels of his wife rather
than the reckless promp,ings of his own

Danger Of Crinolinc.-IIas the question
ever occurred to ladies' wearing the present
amplitude of light drapery, expanded by
cr'noli"e, or sort Of hoop, what would hap.
pen If the muslin should chance to take
fret Mono Of the ready expedients for
extinguishing fire would be available against
such volume of drapcry so disposed to
flames. The dress could not be gathered;
it is so arranged as to render that impossi-
Die, and the expedient Of lying down and
rolling in hearthrug, which saved the lif.
OF many woman before the introduction
OF the present fashion, would not avail
against the resistance of the stiffened frame
OF cr'nol'ne or steel, spreading the burning
surface to the air. Should ladies'. for
fashion sake, expose themselves to so frioht.
ful risks Escape seems impossible if the
dress takes fire. In former times when
hoops were worn, the substance of the dress
was seldom of nature to ignite. The case
Is different now, and spark is enough to
set muslin dress in blaze.

ADVICE TO oorsumpr,vs PERSONS,

In some good advice To cOnsumplircs,
DIR. Hall says: "Eat all you can digest and
exercise in the open mir, to convert what
you cat into pure, healthy blood. DO not
10 afraid Of sudden changes Of weather;
let no change, hot or cold, keep you in
doors. 1fit is rainy weather, the more
need of your going out, because you eat us
much OIL u rainy day as upon clear day
and if you exercise less, that much more re-
mains i'll the system of what ought to be
thrown off by exercise, and some i'll result,
somo consequent symptom of i'll feeling,
is the certain issue. If it is cold out of
doors, do not mutfle your nose, eyes and
mouth in furs, wells, wooden comfor,ers, and
the like nature has supplied you with the
best muffler, with the best inhaling regula-
tor, that is, two lips; shut them before you
step out Of a warm room in the cold air,
and keep them shut until you have walked
briskly few rods, and quickcncd the cir
culation little; walk fast enough to keep
off Il feeling of chilliness, and taking cold
will be impossible. What are the facts of
the case! Look at railway conductor
going out of hot air into the piercing cold
of winter, and in again every five or ten
minutes, and yet they do not take cold of
tcncr than others you will scarcely find Il
consumptivc i'll thousand Of them.
1t is wonderful how afraid consumptivc
people are of col ! air, the very thing that
would cure them the only obstacle to /,
cure being that they do not get enough Of
it, especially if it is cold, when it is known
ahat the colder the purer it must he; yet, il
people cannot go to a hotter climate, they
will make an artificial one, and imprison
themselves whole winter in n warm room
with temperature not varying ten degrees
in six months all such people die, and yet
we follow in their footsteps. If l were
seriously ill of consumption would
live out Of doors day and night, except ii
was raining or midnight; then would
sleep in an upholstered Lighthouse. My
consumptive friends, YOU want pure air, not
medicatcd air; YOU want nutrition, such as
plenty of meat and bread will give, and
they alone; plysic has nc nutriment; gasp
ing for air cannot cure you; monkey ca.
pcrs in agymnasium cannot cure you; and
stimuants cannot cure you. Ifyou want
to get well, 60 in for beef and out door air,
and do not he deluded into the grave by
advertisements and unreliable ccrtificrs.''

WE omitted in our last issue to notice
the second entertainment by the Dramatic
Club of this City. This was again, Venice
Preserved, Il being repeated at the request
of large number Of our citizens, The
cast Of characters was the same as on the
irst occasion, and il was fully as well if not
better performed, than at first The audi
ence was even larger than the immense one
in attendance the FIRST night, and their YER
dict was one of unconditional approval.
We do sincerely hope that this Associa-
ton may be sustained. These dramatic
representations are not only source of re-
creation and amusement to our citizens, but
they constitute for those engaged in them
a far more innocent pastime than they
might otherwise resort to.
We are glad to learn that the Associa-
ton have now in rehearsal another very
excellent play which they hope to be able
60 present in short time.

AMONG the many improvements that
have recently been made in the business
houses around town, none perhaps, is more
noticeable than that just completed by our
friend, Mr.. Sam. Simpson, in his Jcwelry
store. He has had his house run back
some thirty feet, and the whole Of the
ground-aoo Is now in one room. The
show-counters have been lowered to much
more convenient height than before, and
have been set off with the very best quality
Of showcases. These cases are made of
silver-platcd frames, and the finest plate
glass, and are very beautiful. When the
improvements shall be thoroughly compile
ted, as they will be soon, this viii be as
handsome a store as can be found in the
State. Besides the elegant arrangement Of
the house, Mr., Simpson has now ON hand
one of the largest and most varied stocks
Of Watches, Jewelry, Silver and Plated
Ware, that is to be found in the South
His stock of Jewelry embraces all the e.
nest and latest styles, including some of the
richest sets we have ever seen. The stock
of Diamond ornaments is particularly at
tractive. We were surprised, too, at the
extent and variety of his silver ware and
silver plated goods. Full sets, large and
small, and single pieces Of every kind are
now offered, and they are warranted to be
the very best made, and being obtained
from the manufacturers, can be sold unu-
sually low. In the way Of watches, Mr. S.,
is prepared to supply the finest made in the
world. All of his fine movements are
made to order, and expressly for him, in
the best English and Swiss factories, and
they are sold with full guaranty.
We are really proud that our town can
beast of such an establishment as Mr..
Simpsons, and hope every one about here
who wants fine Jewelry, Watches, knives
and forks, spoons, silver ware, or anything
of the kind, will patronize this excellent
home establishment.
