ACADEMY,

GAu1D411ON AZ LUNG CANE
ACADEMY.
We had the pleasure on Thursday
evening last of attending the Annual
Exhibition of this hourishing Acadc-
my, presided over by Prof f. L.
Patton, one Of tho most successful
teachers and accomplished scholars in
the State. AS is known to many ofI
our readers, Prof: Patton is gradu-
ate of tho South Carolina College,
with the highest honors Of his class,
and unitcs to natural cndowmcnts of
a very high order the ripened fruits Of
profound and varied scholarship. A
natural born linguist, he is equally ut
home in the exact sciences, and COM
bines with the learning which clevates
and enobles, tho scholarly graccs and
literary cultivation which illustrate
and embellish. With tho close of the
late session his connection with the
Long Cane Academy ceased having
sometime since boen elected to the
Professorship of Languages in Erskine
College, the duties of which ho will
enter upon at the beginning of the
next collegiate year. We congratu-
late Erskine College upon 80 valuable
an accession, and the people of our
District upon being ablo to retain in
ou4: midst, one who is so well able to
reflect lustrc upon it's literary charac-
ter.
During tho past session of tho Long
Cane Academy, Prof. Patton was
assisted by o corps of able and ac-
complished instructors. The Lam
guages formed his own special de-
partment; the Mathematics, that OF
Mrs. Kate p. .Wideman Music, that
of Mrs. S. ID. Bradley and her associ-
ate, Miss Martha r. Widcman and
the Primary Branches, that Of Mrs.
Mary B. Patton. With such instruc.
tors the Academy could not be other.

it did between sixty and. seventy
pupils, malo and female-and the
good order and sobrioty, and the
: spirit of emulation which charactc
lied all the students Gas remarked by
? the President in his closing address,
afforded q strong argument in favor
of tho union Of the sexes in these
public schools, as the most effective
means Of securing the refnementt
and graces, as we'll as the solid fruits
Of learning. ~,-..
Partaking Of the hospitalities Of g
friend in the neighborhood, and renew
ing and forming there some very
pleasant acquaintanees, we proceeded
after tea in the agreeable company o.
Cur friends to the scene of the even
ing's entertainment, where we found
large audience already assembled. =
Ample preparation had been made
for the neutrality-suspicious. platforms
beautifully decorated, with flowers and
evergreens, for the performers, and
ample seats for the audience. On one
side Of the platform sat the budding
beauties Of the Academy to furnish q

n@- Our late article on G. P.
Leslie's sinsolent" letter has evoked
some comments from our friend of
the Republican. we thank him for his
compliments, but think ourselves
scarcely amehabls to his consure. We
did not pretend to quote Lesbos Ian
guage, and hnd we been SO disposed,
could scarcely have nisrepresented
it's leading idea. We felt and ex-
pressed our Indignation that "penni.
less alventurcr'' should presume to
lecture our citizens upon the proper
distribution of their charities; But
says the Rfpublieon it is no stn to be
poor, and some Of our greatest men
have been "adventurers." ". We deny
tho latter statement, and as to til

HAMsAND BAcoN-How TO KEEP-I have
never been able to keep my hams and bacon
entirely free from the fly and worm during
the summer. For the benefit Of those like
myself, please give us information. Icannot
remember that this important item Of do
nestle economy has been ventilated in your
columns. People who live remote from mar
kets are obliged to store hog and hominy,
and therefore the question thou to Save
our bacon" becomes one Of great impor-
tance.-Rock Spring, Pa.
Make bags Of unbleached factory" put
the hams in, and then put in q layer Of fine
soft hay all around them, so ss to make a
stratum of hay between the factory and the
hams. If merely bagged, the flies will
thrust their ovipositors through the factory
and sting the meat but the interposed hay
keeps them off. 1t is common practice to
whitewssh the bags, but this is not so neat,
and the bags cannot be 80 well used again.
Another mode is to bury them in oats or some
other grain, but they are more apt to be-
come injured from want Of ventilation. Char
coal dust keeps the hams well, but is black
and disagreeable, and hard to get off.
Whichever mode ig adopted, it is of vital
Importance that the work be done early in
spring, before the flies are stirring.-Coun-
try Gentleman.

PoaADE FOR CHAPPED HANDs.-To four
ounces of mutton tallow add one ounce Of
expressed oil Of almonds and one-half
ounce of white wax. Melt them together,
and as soon as they have become iquifed
add one-half ounce each Of camphor gum
and glycerine, stirring we'll until thoroughly
incorporated. When the mixture has begun
to cool, add two drops Of the otto of rose to
give it perfume. The hands should be
we'll anointed with this pomade at night,
and washed in lukewarm water in the
morning with little glycerine soap, taking
care to dry the hands well with towel.
Before applying the pomade at night it is
we'll to soak the hands for twenty or thirty
minutes in mixture of buttermilk and
warm water in about equal proportions. By
adopting this method for o few days the
hands may be made smooth and white.
REMEDY AGAINST CRoToN BUGS AND Cock
RoAcHEs.-Boil one ounce of poke root in
one pint of water until the strength is ex-
tracted; mix the decoction with molasses,
and spread it in plates in the kitchen or other
apartments which are infested by these
insects. All that have partaken Of this
luxury during the night will be found
"organic remains" the next morning.
To DISTINGUISH EDIBLE MUSHROOMS FROM
THOSE WHICH ARE PoIsoNoUs.-Sprinkle O
little salt on the spongy part or gills Of the
mushroom. If it turns yellow it is poison
GUS but if black, it is wholesome. An
experienced eye, however, is generally a
sufficient test.

four hours. When it is set, and the boards
removed, grout the bottom one foot thick

sHoT.-AuguSta, Ga, March l3.-Dr. G.
W. Darden, who killed Charles Wallace, the
editor of the Clipper, was taken from the
Jail at Warrenton last night by party OF
disguised men, taken some distance from
town, and there shot to death.
augusta, March l4.-The particulars OF
the tragedy at Warrenton, Ca, which result
ed in the killing of Wallace by Darden, and
the subsequent killing of Darden by dis.
guised parties, show that both Wallace and
Darden were democrats, and that the whole
affair was purely of q personal nature,
originating first in a private quarrel be-
tween friends of Wallace and Darden,
which was carried into Masonic lodge,
where, as alleged, Darden black-balled
Wallace, for which the latter published him
as a liar and scoundrel =; on the publication
of which Darden shot Wallace, while pass
ing on the street in front of his Office, as
already stated. The affair il deeply regret
ted, and regarded as a great calamity BY
the friends of both parties, who were highly
