business education, which he improved
from one winter to another, until he be-
came scholar, both literally and sclentlh-
cally. His influence and usefulness in

young man of very attractive manners
and ways.
He moved to Western State, where
land was cheap, and entered 100 acres by
a land warrant, which he purchased with
$3.50 of his money. He made a good Sc
lection OF land, in good region OF coun-
try; he used a portion of the balance OF
MS money in improving his land, buying
little stock and few implements for
farming, and the second year he raised a
small crop. Having gone to his neighbor-
mood with about $500 in money, and used
it cautiously, he by degrees gained the
name OF responsible citizen and good
paymaster, and his influence rose gradu-
ally from his appearance among his new
and scattering neighbors, Year after year
ne raised crop, continuing to read the
BEST newspapers, periodicals, and books,

arrived at the middle of life, gentleman
farmer of wealth, surrounded by comfort
and many luxuries, esteemed by neighbors
both far and near, and would receive the
suffrage OF those who know him to any
office for which he might be nominated,
irrespective of party politics, so firm is
their confidence in beth his ability and in
tegrity.-&. Louis Journal Of agriculture.

cured of fearful case of rupture by DIR
| FERRIS, and he is enthusiastic, as he hs:
good reason to be, over the wonderful eff
fects of this truss. In his conversation
with US upon the subject, he is unstinted
in his praises of DR.. FERRIS, and feels I'M
der debt Of lasting gratitude for the real
ly marvellous cure produced by his skill.
ful treatment.
DR.. Ferris enjoys the confidence of the
profession, and his instruments are recom>
mended by the first physicians of the city,
who concede their superiority over ali
other trusses that are made.
We have written at such length and thus
commendatory, more with view to
bring cheerful tidings to the afflicted than
to puff the truss alluded to. If this notice
should fall under the eye of any sufferer.
and he should thereby be induced to make
a trial of DIR. FERRIS truss, and it should
result in offering relief, We will feel by
that fact more compensated than any pc
cuniary remuneration could give.

EDGEFIELD.

ACHIcKEN CAsE.-All Edge6eld was
yesterday in terested in lawsuit brought
about by the sudden demise of a chicken
belonging to Gallstin pike merchant.
The chicken accidently got out of coop
and flew into the yard of lady living on
the opposite side ofthe street. The lady did
not like to have chickens foraging on her
onion patch, and killed the fowl by wiring
ing its neck. The merchant called for biz
deceased chicken, but the lady refused to
give it up, and this aggravated
the merchant who instituted suit
for damages, The trial took place before
ECO Garfield. Some eight or or ten wit
nesses were examined, lawyers were en-
ployed on both sides, and considerable
feeling was manifested in the trial. The
court room was crowded with spectators,
and the speeches pro and con were listened
to with breathless anxiety. After a full
hearing Of the case, and mature delibera.
ton, the Squire rendered decision,
giving the prosecutor damages to the
amount of fifty cents, from which an ap-
peal was taken by the defendant TO the
Circuit Court.
RUNNING ALL NIGHT.-So great is the
demand ON the Edge6eld sawmill for lum-
Der, that the institution for week past
has been run both day and night.
GARDENINa.-The warm weather Of
yesterday induced every man and his wife
to go extensively into the gardening bust
ness. Our friend Stubbs, on the Gsllatin
pike is determined to have the handsomest
ornamental garden on the thoroughfare.
IMPRovEMENTs.-C. A. Campbell has
just completed the foundation for fine
