OF arranging it may be stated, or it may
be left to the taste of the modistc. The
system of cutting in this establishment

it will be as durable as beautiful. The

thing that struck us was change of lit

= New York Fashions.
NEW: .YaRk. August, 1860

The high still splendor of August
days finds few of the dcvotees of Fash
ion in town. Yet much fashionable
dressing may be seen daily on the streets
and in the squares and parks. Ladies
seem to run to ecra this season. Never
before was there seen so much unbleach-
cd linen and unbleachcd lawn and silk
dyed to the unbleached linen tint-that
is dyed in a tint which is the very ghost
of a color. A new lace-guipure-of
the same indefinite shade is used to trim
linen and lawn The silk suits are
usually trimmed with many rows of
black velvet ribbon laid on fat, or else
with pinked rushcs of the same material
as the drcss-this latter being much the
most stylish. With black trimming
large hoops of dead jet are worn in the
ears, large dead jet chains about the
neck, or else the inevitable bit of black
velvet with jet and dead gold locket at
tached. Often, indeed, both are worn
as ladies have au idea that their necks
are made to look doubly nice and white
by contrast with the hlack streamer.
On the contrary they all look as if they
were well nigh choked; and, besides
that, black velvet is really too hot for
midsummer. With self-colored trim
minss prufusion of coral is worn ecru
and coral color 80 admirably together,
besides coral looks and feels SO cool and
sea breezy.
The newest thing in the way of trim
ming is to founee light colorcd silk with
sheer maslin, plain or embroidered. This
is very old style revived, yet j. has all
the charm of absolute freshness.
We saw lately at the Metropolitan
Furnishing Rooms most poetic evening
costume which had been ordered, from
Newport, by beautiful blonde. The
order ran "get me up something new and
white for Monday evenings hop" ''The
dress was success, everybody present
almost died with envy when l sailed in,
wrote the beautiful blonde to the Metro
politan Furnishing Rooms. And as the
toilette was as simple as it was elegant,
and as any lady of ingenuity can make
Que from description, we will describe
it.
The dress was of white tarlcton, and
had seven skirts, rising above one anoth
er like waves Of sarf, the under skirt
was made to trail considerably; every
skirt was gored in front and very full in
the back widths the bottoms were faced
with bias with satin, which facing grew
broder till it reached the under skirt
where it was two fingers deep; the low
corsage was of silk and was very curious
ly made, with a peak in front and be-
hind, being laced M the back with white
silk lacings; the side pieces of the body

This Society we understand meets
here at otahgeBufg ON next Saturday,
and while we believe that there. are.
net many pf. CUR fagmers fully alive to
tic Importance 6f ssfhis association, ! we
pre confident, on the other hand, that
there are also many, who need no spur
ring up in the matter.
tiIAn Agricultural, Society, a., live and
working one 1--WE have felt the need -ofifor
6 long time, ahd we are .gratified to in
form Tie rsadsss of the Nrwss, that this
void il our Agricultural system is now
about TO be, efficiently filed. Already one
Snterprising farmer of thisIcounty has, in
troduced oni,his plantation a, patented
moving maehihe; the workib" of which
is exceedingly admirable. Now when
this Society gettssilnn good oppcration new
ideas, and new systems, will suggest
themselves, which with the maey intel
ligentc gentlemen who compose this Or
ganizati6n, WIZ increase in value and APP
Preciatiop. ~
Our present farming system is incom-
plete, this all will acknowledge, and all
feel the necessity of improving it as
early as practicable. Then let the farm
ers throughout our whole county respond
to the call Of the Agricultural Society
BY their presence here on next Saturday.
We guarantee that no man will 90 away
dissatisfied, indeed, we think it the duty
of every man to contribute his aid and
influence 10 the augmentation and estab-
lishment of this Society; and the few
who have clung to the idea through all
the past with SO much earnestness,
should be rallied to now aud assisted in
this work. Aar 'a te
Orangeburg County can be saved, (nd
will, if the Agricultural Society is sue
cess, ,and-we know it will be- a tremcn-
dous amount of laber by the introduc-
tion, at d trihing price, of labor-saving
machinery. Aud tI.ere'is no better way
of determining upon plans by which this
can, be done the cheapest, than by all
meeting and advising together. We
have many excellent farmers in our
County; some who understand all about
it, but there is no knowledge that can
not be improved.
This Society will be composed of prac-
cal farmers, a combination of practical
knowledge will direct its workings, and
surely, il must be a success. And while
our farmers are considering the utility
of the introduction. Of moving machines
&C., we would suggest the idea of con-
sideriug the Importance of having intro
duced, also, stump extractors. 1t is well
known that the only difficulty to be met
with in the moving Of suall grain with
these machines is stumps, and we think
if something could be had to remove
them, much labor and probable damage
to the mower may be saved.
To those who are working for the
fnrtherapcc of the interest Of this Soeie-
ty Can interest which We consider every
man's) We offer our aid and influence.
The 0RANGEBURG News works for the
interest of the farmers of Orangeburg
County, aud everything We can do for
them, compatible with our ability, we
are ever ready to do it.
