Of Independence was declared BY Congress

GREETED that the original furniture has been

THE WEATHER AND .CRoPs.-Since our
last issue, we have been favored with some
delightful showers Of rain, which have en-
livcncd greatly the appearance of vegetation.
The rains, We understand, have been pretty
general through the District. Much of the
corn crop, we apprehcnd, was too far ex-
hausted to be benefited to any considerable
extent 1t is believed that with fair seasons
from this out and late Fall, the cotton
crop may be an average one.

work of 463 pages, has just been issued
from the steam power press of X. w.
Gibbs, is neatly bound in cloth, and its
whole mechanical arrangement reflects cred
it upon the parties engaged in lis publica'
ton. As TO its literary department, it claims
to be History of the South Carolina
College, from its incorporation, December
l9, 1901, to November rs, 1857, including
sketches of is Presidents and Professors
with an appendix" The appendix contains
n sketch Of the Literary Societies of the
College, Catalogues of the Trustees, Presi-
dents, Professors, Tutors, Treasurers, Liz
brarians and Of the Alumni. Also Cata-
logue of all students admitted into the Col
iege, who in any way whatever left without
dipl oma. II is dedicated TO the Alumn;
of tho College as body.
We have not yet had opportunity to give
it more than cursory glance, but we feel
assured that IL is q valuable addition to the
Literature of the State. There are, we
are persuaded, but few in the State who
would not fec an interest in The history of
this institution, who would not read with
