CONTRACTS Wiru FGKEDMrN.-We publish in
another Column form Of contract with freed.
men, which has been adopted in Darlington
and other Districts. We commend it to the at.
tention of our readers aa very excellent form
of contract, making. it does, ample provis-
ion for the freedmen Mt the same time that il
provides against loss 10 the master through his
neglect OF duty. 1t is supposed that one third
of the crer. at low estimate will give to each
hand one bale OF cotton. (4o0 lbs. worth now
s20O.oo) from twenty to fifty bushels of
corn. besides, potatoes peas. dc. Upon this
estimate, which seems to reasonable, the condi
tions of the contract agreed npon generally in
the State wonl appear equitable enough un-
less nn extra orLiuay Till of expenses is brought
against the luLorer at the end Of the year. In
stead of giving portion Of the crop many
prefer fixed compensation. This rests in the
discretion Of the employer. ns the military au.
thorites have prescribed no fixed E,rrn, but
will approve all just and proper contracts.

ry- 1t was happy thought of our
celebrated townsmsn, DR.. Knights, to
make DR.. severy's Restorative available
to those who suffer, or may hereafter
suffer from attacks Of Cholera, Cholera
Morbus, Dysentory or kindred complaints,
throughout the land. For nearly twenty
years it was used by one of our most
celebrated physicians in his private prac-
tice, but since his death, the. recipe has
been locked up by the executors-who
have lately conveyed it to DR.. knights,
knowing that he would adhere to the
original formula with religious fidelity.
As the Cholera approaches our shores, DR..
Knights, with characteristic thoughtful
ness, prepares to meet it's attacks, and his
whole force of employees are constantly
engaged in preparing this medicine for
sale while shipments are daily made
hence to all our principal cities and towns,
north, south, east and west Guarded by
this preparation, the Cholera is shorn OF
its terrors. 1t is an unfailing cure in the
early stages of the disease, as thousands
among us can attest while for all those
complaints which arise from disordered
state of the stomach or bowels it is pre-
scribed and used by physicians and people
wherever its virtues are Known etross

THE GRAND ENTERTAINMENT.

The grand entertainment by the ladies
of the Soldiers Relief Association came off
with proud eclQt at the Deaf and Dumb
Asylum on Tuesday night. We say grand
for it was emphatically and in reality
grand affair. The spacious dining hall of
tho Asylum was filled TO Its utmost ca
pacty with an intelligent and appreciative
audience, contrary to general expectation,
for the day had proved highly impractica-
BILE ont of doors on account of the heavy
and almost incessant rain that had pro-
vailed. 1t cleared up, however, as the
evening approached, and the weather was
pleasant enough over head. Thanks to
the generous ccommodations provided by
the proprietors of the different livery sta
bio keepers, Messrs. Holt, Cousinard d
Harbour and Kugler g. Hackney and a
few other philosophical citizens, there
were vehicles in abundance to convey par
ties to and from the place Of entertain
ment, dry shod.
But, let us revert to the entertainment,
itself. There were tableaux, charades and
music, each in themselves appropriately
selected and arranged, and all Of them so
remarkably we'll executed as to preclude
invidious comparisons. The ladies and
gentlemen who appeared in the two anus
ing charades, did justice to their several
parts. There was great deal to be said
which required no little previous study
and mem orizing, and great deal TO do to
"suit the action to the word" which re-
auired rehearsal and practice beforehand;
and demonstrating the shortness of time
allotted for preparation, the fair debutantes
aud their co-adjutors of the opposite sex
personsted the characters assigned them,
with that degree of apl0n,6 and accuracy OF
conception and manner which would have
done credit to old "stagers."
Adjacent to the exhibition was the re-
freshment room, where an abundance OF
delicacies was melted out to hundreds Of
patronizing recipients during the evening
We did not remain to witness the ball
which was the winding up feature Of the
occasion, and which, we arc informed, war
very agreeable affair.
We have not as yet heard tho precise
amount Melted by the ladies for the benefit
of the noble object they had in view in
getting up their elegant and attractive
entertainment, but some idea approx
mating to the amount may be formed
when it is known that there must have
been at least five hundred persons present
on the occasion.
