The slaughter which daily sustaius us
foots upas follows: When we ride we situpon
the skin of the pig; when we walk We tread
upon the skin of the bullock; we wear the
skin of the kid upon our hands, and the fleece
of sheep upon our backs. More than half the
world are human beings in sleeps clothing,
and the whole world is daily eating the flesh
of some creature.
Forty years ago the people of London
beheld great comet An article appeared
in the Gentieman's Magazine, London Pc
rodical, on the supposed influence of that
comet. The following were the influences
summed up by the writer: "Wasps We're
few, flies became blind and disappeard early;
many women brought forth twins, and the
wife of shoemaker at Whitfield, had four
children at birth"
"A Missouri paper states that Davy Il.
Atchision, who, four years ago, "waS the
mightiest man of the border, and whose fierce
tramp made the prairies tremble, has aban-
doned "the stormy field of politics entirely,
and is now living in perfect retirement upon
one of the most extensive and bestimproved
farms in the State, enjoying that ease and
dispensing that unostentatious hospitality so
grateful to his cultivated and generous nature.
- 1t is stated that surviving daughter
of Aaron Burr comes curiously into posses
sion of quite a fortune in this way: Burr
held lease from Trinity Church ofthe Rich
mond Hill property, three or four hundred
lots in the centre of New York, for sixty-six
years. He released the land for sixty-three
years to Astor and others, and their lease ex-
pires in 1860. The lease for three years then
belongs to Burr's daughter, and the claim
is indisputable, and the value of the lease
very great, Already several of the lessees
have compromised the claim for from ST.

= We observed that the fall fashions
fol, bonnets provide artificial fruits as sub
stisa.e for flowers. The latter will pass out
of use and instead of roses, johnny jump
ups-dafy y-down-dillies, &c., the bonnets of
our gay bellies will be graced with clusters
of artificial currents, grapes, black-berries,
cherries, and other fruits, done up in glass
of the least possible thickness. We saw
specimen of the new bonnet yesterday. 1t
was unique affair, resembling cabbage
leaf trimmed with tomatoes. The price issaid
to be cheap-0aly thirty dollars Young
gentlemen who are seriously y contemplating
martrimony will please take notice.-E1-

- The Congressional election in South
Carolina has resulted in the return of the
old Representatives, with the exception of
Mr.. Orr, who declined another term, and
who has been succeeded by Col. j. D.
Ashmore. This tribute Unpopular appobation
is merited by the recipients. South Caro-
lima is most honorably represented in the
Federal Legislature. Boyce, Keitt, Nc
Queen, Miles and Bonham exhibit an aggre-
gate of personal worth, intellectual power and
political fidelity which is surpassed by few,
if any, other States of larger representation.
Col. Ashmore, we doubt not, is worthy of the
association ion.-Richmon0 South.
"A meeting of Millerites, eleven in all,
was lately held in New York, to pass resolu-
tions in reference to the late Comet, which,
they still insist, is the sure precursor of the
end of all things. Great hopes were enter
tanned that the Comet would have come in
collision with the globe on the 9th inst,
but he has sheered off, and left his friends,
the Millerites entirely in the lurch. The
Millerites have strong hopes that he will
soon return to put an end to the world, but
the astronomers say that it will be two hun
dred years before he again appears in our
sky. By that time there will be an end of
the world to the Millerites, and the present
and some half dozen succeeding generations
of mankind.
We live in progressive age; change
is stamped upon every thing; and strange
to tell, hen has changed by nature to a
rooster in our county following in the wake
of modern politiciaps). Mr. Joel c. Nc
Dowell has hen that he has owened ten
years. She has laid, hatched and raised many
chickens, and for the last two or three years
