highly interesting and valuable paper, I
never see anything from our quiet little
village Of Hampshire. Knowing that
this does not arise from. any reluctance
on your part to publish anything from
his end of tn e county, have concluded
to give you brief sketch of Hampshire
and the surrounding country. To all
who have not had the pleasure or good
fortune of visiting Hampshire, / would
say, that this romantic and picturesque
town is situated in fertile and beauti-
full valley of Cathey's Greek, just sixteen
miles from the cityt!) of Columbia. l
do not know the name of the founder Of
our little mountain town, and although
his name will not go down to posterity
as the founder of great and populous
city, as was the case with Romulus and
Cadmus,. still am willing to render
great praise to his judgment and taste
In selecting such a charming spot for a
little country town as Hampshire has
proven to be. AS the welfare of every
good citizen, whether he live in the
densely populated city or in the country,
depends almost entirely ON the produc-
tions ofthe soil, and as every one must |
feel more or less interested about the |
country, do not think it would be out |
of place to give you and your readers
some idea of the prospect of the growing |
avOv, Of fl,sc xyir Il OloA Mr.
Editor, that am able to say with safety, I
that from every quarter comes most |
cheering news of both the cotton and |
corn crops, which promise an abundant |
yield as a reward for the industry of the |
sturdy and energetic farmers Of this
neighbcrhood. am proud to see that |
the spirit OF Improvement is manifesting |
itself in our midst, in the way Of large
cotton and steam saw-mill combined,
which will, when completed, be the
most imposing edifice in the town.
There are several gentlemen in this vi
einity who can almost rival Nimrod of
old in the art of hunting. They make
frequent visits to the "barrens," as they |
term it, for the purpose of deer-hunting,
and neverreturn unsuccessful. Yesterday

hunter ofthe county, on his way from

Although the eruption il
not so violent now, the volcano is a fear
full sight to behold. The rivers of lava
still flow, and the smoke from the crater
ascends in awful majesty. During this
volcanic upheay Il it has been very sick
ly here. A peculiar sort of low mala-
rious fever, which has grown out of the
foul, condensed vapors of the volcano,
has prevailed to an alarming extent, and
at one time it was feared it would depop-
ulate the island. But fortunately sea
captain calling for supplies) distributed
Plantation Bitters to the suffering, and
quick and thorough cures were the re-
suit. The news spread like Wild fire
Messrs. Chang Takin & Co., Commission
Merchants, had these Bitters. for sale.
In short time their Office was bessiged
and their supply exhausted. A steamer
was dispatched to San Francisco by or
der of the hospitable department, and a
new and enormous supply obtained as
soon as possible. From. that moment
the scourge was stayed. Not another
fatal case occurred, and the epidemic has
now entirely disappeared. =
Is this wonderful remedy known in your

the contractor, and P. NJ. HoLCoMB did
the misunderstanding. HENRY ZELLNER
used to be the main bridge-builder in
this county, we believe, but of late years
he has been devoting his time and tai
ents to other cares and business, and his
mantle has fallen upon the shoulders OF
Mr.. VAUGHN. The latter gentleman
has put up some excellent work in the
county within the last few years. The
old bridge at Huey's Mill was built by
Mr.. ZELLNER, and was burnt after the
fall of Fort Donelson, by Scott's cavalry.

Another Fearful Railroad Accident.
One Of the most appalling and heart
rending accidents occurred on one of the
Railroads leading from New York on
the night or the 2Sth inst, that has ever
been our painful duty to record. The
train left New York On the evening of
the 10th, loaded down with passengers
for the South and West Every one was
i'm high glee, and all went smoothly on
until about one o'clock on the morning
of the 2lst, when suddenly camo crash
and most terrible and heart sickeuing
scene followed. The entire train and
the surrounding country were indeed
stricken with fear and horror, when
loud and fierce, though strange voice to
all except the officer of the train, cried
out, Nobody nurt-nothing tut the

We can safely recommend these Bitters for

pleasant character of the ingredients contained

not superior. to auv Bitters before the public,
