NATIVE WINE. We have received from
DR.. S. W. Bookhart, of Doko, bottle of
wine, expressed from grapes grown in his
vineyard, in that vicinity. It is delightful
to the taste-grapy in flavor, and particu :.
larly strengthening to the invalid. The
planters in and around Doko claim that
their fruit productions will equal those of
Aiken; and they intend to push forward the
cultivation. Success to them. say we.
THE AGRICULTURAL CONVENTION We

this body, as prepared by the Secretaries,
Messrs. Gibbes and Holloway. Each days
proceedings were published in the PAeni.c
at the time the meetings were held; but it
was deemed advisable by the officials, as it
was rightly considered an important event,
that the official record should go before the
world.

MAY FEsTIvAL.-The youthful birds be-
longing to the Phanic nest participated in
May frolic, at Miss o. McGowan's, Tues
day evening last; and the pleasures there
enjoyed will, we venture to assert, be indeii-
bly, stamped on their recollections. The
children connected with the school. as also
several invited guests, assembled at an early
hour, and at half-past z everything being
in readiness the youthful queen, Miss M.
MCGOWAN, was crowned by her loyal sub
jects, amid shouts of laughter and other
demonstrations of joy. After several ad-
dresses, the party adjourned to the supper
room, where cakes, confectionery and nick
macs of various kinds, were uade to disap-
pear rapidly; then came music and lively
time III general; and, after several hours,
very agrecab'y spent, "Home, Sweet Home"
was unwillingly sought by the youngsters
ana, we suppose, in few minutes the whole
scene was being re-enacted in dream-land.
Let the little ones enjoy themselves by all
means.
