FOR THE AnBEvILLE pREss.
The Premium List Of Abbeville Aeri.
cultural Society.

Mr.. En1ToR In looking over tn,
premium list of the Abbeville Agri
cultural Society, published in you,
issue OF the 30th April, l note the alb
senee Of two very important premi
ums.
First, 1 think a handsome premium
should be awarded to the person who
obtains the greatest number of mem
'bers, either annual or life. Offer such
a premium and will vouch for more
than one man eontending for it.
Secondly, Isee no notice takon O.
tobacco in the premium list, and
dare say every member of that com,
mittee uses the weed in one form O,
another. Tobacco is grown in Alb.
beville, and segars are made here
then why not offer an inducement for
competition?
Thirdly, that I may not be too late,
Jet me now suggest to the Executive
Committee to- require the Secretary at
the bau Fair to nuni6er all articles
when received. for exhibition, and
record the owners name and the
number Of the article in, his book.
When the awarding committees are
appointed the Secretary can furnish
each chairman with the pun,6s,s mot
names Of owpeEs,) } that: his committee
are to decide upon. If this, be done,
John Smiths big name will. not secure
premiums for his inferior stock; and
Thos. Jones's fine stock will secure for
it's owner q fair reputation, raswell ss

GREENWOOD CORRESPONDENCE.
GREENWOOD. Nav Qd 1860

GREENWOOD, May ed, 1869.
MIR. EDITOR This the appointed
season in which the Queen of Love
leaves her throne and travels through
her domain; and when flowers OF
every hue vie with each other, to per-
tun'e the air she breathes and feeds
upon exhibits ono of those radical
freaks entirely in keeping with the
indehnitcness of the policy of the
times. 1t is quite inconsistent with
our idea of the fitness Of things, to be
required to resort to artificial and
extra means of rendering ourselves
comfortably warm while indulging in
a dish of Strawberries and cream, q
mess of peas, potatoes Oh beets, within
their appropriate season.
1 learn that a heavy hail storm
occurred Saturday evening last in
some of tho adjoining Districts which
did great damage to the growing
crops, and perhaps is yet felt in the
cold temperature of today.
The planting community is seriously
exercised about the safety Of the
cotton plant, on which they have
risked 80 much. 1t is rapidly dying
out under tho effects of the cool
nights and high winds of the last
week. Indeed every thing is assum,
ing radical caste, and even such is
the proclivity of the weather as ex.
hibited within and around this beau
tiful and at.ractive
TOWN OF GREENWOOD.
1t is singular fact that localities
as well as objects of much importance
in the very midst of a people, are
often overlooked in the superficial
gaze of the public. Special objects,
from which the brightest rays pro-
ceed, in general illumination, are
not always observed, unless they are
taken up and exhibited or pointed ont
singly. An exhibition of this rural
town, the central point Of an extensive
and fertile region of country, of
intelligence and wealth, with several
small villages on either side tributary
to her, and from whom they may CON.
veniently draw their supplies, ( am

Concert, Charades and Tablsaux at
Ninety.Six. 30

1t was our pleasure and extreme
good fortune to avail ourselves OF
the kind invitation of the young
ladies and gentlemen of Ninety.
Six to attend handsome entertain.
'nent consisting of concert, char
AIDES, and tableaux, given by them
on Friday evening last in bohalt
of the siloam Baptist church. Af
ter partak1ng Of the hospitalities OF
our friend, Mr.. T. G: Lipscomb, we
repaired at early candle-light to the
Academy, where the entertainm ent
was given, and found already as
sembled, a large audience, which
for beauty and intelligence we have
seldom seen equalled.
To the student of history, and to
the eager explorer into the mine of
or legendary lore, there is no Sec
ton of our country which furnishes
more interesting associations than
Niuety-Six and vicinity. The
name is of hational-nay, of world.
wide repute, aud there
--"W he, Ger it turns.
lhe eye TO- ks Oh rich historic ground"
Memories of the s'star fort''-the
heroism, the tolls and the privations
of the Revolutionary struggle
come involuntarily to our minds,
and invest each locality with the
halo Of some cherished association.
But a truce to memory-at least TO
Revolutionary memory ~ for the
brightness, grace and beauty of
that Friday evenings entertain
ment fills upthe whole panorama of
the. mental vision, aud makes Us in.
sensible tolesser charms. ~
The stage was beautifully deco
rated with wreaths of svergr cen
and flowers, gracefully intertwined,
and festooned: in many q "waving Q
line of beauty" and lighted up
with lamps tastefully arranged.
The programme Of exercises pre-.
sented first for the qualification of
the audience an Overture on the

DELAWARE STARTLED BY A BLooMER.
The Middletown Transcript says: "Quite a
sensation was produced here on Tuesday night
and Wednesday morning by the appearance
OF female 10 Bloomer costume She arrived on
the cars on Tuesday evening, aud put up at
Walkers Hotel, registering her ilane in a yery
bad hand as E. B. IIarmcr, us nearly as 1t could
be made out, Of Florence, N. j. On Wednesday
morning fhc took IN airing, on foot and uuat-
tended, 10 neighbnr.ng peach orchard. and nf-
forwards departed in TIC lisa Train fur Dover

10 hei knees, and pantalouns Of the SEINE mater-
al. her headgear was not unlike that worn nv
other women with profusion Of ribbon. She
was the cynosure OF all eyes, whichever she went
and said she came down to look at the Delaware
peach orchards"
This is evidently the same lady who dawned
Tor brief time upon our astounded horizon, In
Wilmington. 1t was not Mrs. DIR. Walker. Never
mind, DR.. Harmer will do as well.
AT Dover the Delawarean reports that; "We
do not know what brought her here, but runlor
suggested that she came on mission to preach
wonlan's rights; be that as il may, she did NOT
do il. for early Thursday morning, after taking a

IMMENSE DESTRUCTION OF PRoPERTY--ArPRE-
HENDED LOSS or LIFE.
We published a week ago an account of q ter
rible fire raging in the pine forests and swamps
Of Worcester county, Maryland, and Sussex coun-
ty, in this State. The Sussex Journal of the 18th
inst, has the following additional particulars =
+" Some weeks ago fire broke out in the Cy-
press swamps lying in the centre of the lower
part of this county and Worcester county, Md.
The surface OF this swamp is composed of light
illuvlal soil OF fungus growth which when dry is
highly combustible and is from one to four feet
deep. This chatfy surface has been burning about
three weeks extending about six miles in width.
The progress of the fire is not rapid but as the
surface OF the ground is burning of course forests
and feRces, houses and barns corn fields and pas
ture meet the same fate when they stand la the
way. II is impossible to tell how great the loss
is of life and property at this writing or to form
any calculation as to the final result; nothing but
Hood OF rain can stay its progress. Several fam
lilies who lived on the edges and high portions OF
the swamps have not been heard from, Mr.. W.
j. Casey, Curtis Jacobs, Mrs. Hearn, and many
others have been seriously damaged. II was es-
timated that one million bushels Of huckleberries
grew in the swamp last year. We can say to the
lovers of this fruit, next year the crop will be fai
short of one hundred bushels. The fire is raging
from the Pocomoke, near Show Hill, to Days.
borough, in this county. Dtching has been re.
sorted to in some places for the purpose OF saving
houses and barns but such body of fire Mt time
when the earth is parched and dry is really terri
