A FEARFUL CASUALTY.
A Man in Washington County Drawn
into ThreShing Machine.
The straw takes Fire and he is Burned
10 Oenth.

The straw takes Fire md he Is Burned
TO Death.
From ~ ITashln0Son reporter Of AsTM,
On Friday last Mr.. John Reed, who
lives on tho Allegheny county line, was
engaged in thres6ing grain at the late
residence Of N. II. N. Pollock, deceased,
in Robinson township, four miles north Of
Midway station. Ono Of the journals Of
the machine became heated and set fire TO
tho straw, when Mr.. Reed, who was driv.
ing, left his place and sprang upon the
feed board, with the intention, evidently,
Of cxtinguIshing tho fire. In his attempts
to do so his feet slipped and he was drawn
into the machine nearly up to his
middle. Every effort was made TO ex.
triCato him but the flames immediate
" surrounded tho spot and drove
the men from the barn, which became
q sheet of fire in iGw minutes After
Mr.. Reed was hid from view Of the hands
his screams could be heard pleading tor
help, TINT "hc was burning to death" No
assistance could avail, however, and the
unfortunate man, tho barn, and all its con-
tents, were consumed by tho dCvouring
clement Meanwhile the flrc extended to
tho stable, wagon shed and dwelling
house, and owing to the terror and Confl.
sion all were destroyed, only small pOr-
ton Of the house furniture being saved,
| In the evening, when the flames had sub,
sided, few OF tho bones Of MIR. Reed
were recovered from the ruins, and on
Sunday were inferred ut RO"coon CemC'
tory. The unfortunate man was about
twenty years Of AgG, member OF Rae
coon church, and was highly esteemed by
All who knew him.

fhc Contributions of DR.. Peyre Porch6r 10
the late State Fair in Columbia.

The Ph~nic, of the I'd instant,
says:
At the late State Fair here, the
contributions of Dr.. Porcher, by some
oversight, were not referred to any Of
the Committees. AS cur readers are
aware, Dr.. Po,chcr is tho author of
that useful and we'll known work
''The Resources Ct Southern Fields
and Forests" Recently, in addition
to his duties as practitioner of
medicine, DR.. Porchcr has boon ex-
pcrimen,ing with tanning materials.
He has utilized, in this way, some Of
our Southern products.
!. Tannin Extract from Liquidam-
bar, prepared by ether, alcohol and
water. 600 grains of dried leaves
yielded 253 grains, equal to 42 per
cent.
2. Native Carolina Tannin Product.
"F." 10 per cent. tannin. Tans in
3. Native Carolina Tannin. Pro-
duct "A."
4. Tanuin Extract from native
plant, For tanning leather and dy C
stuff. Astringency indicated by
taste.
5. Native South Carolina Plant
ground substitute for sumach. Their
relative amount Of tannin tested by
taste.
6. Ink from native material, with
a single compound of iron extract en-
ploycd.
These specimen articles wore 40
companied with an eSsay, by DR.. Por-
cher, which, with other essays. will be
considered by the Executive Commit
tee, at their earliest meeting, on the
goth of this month.
Dr.. Panknin, Of Charleston, has al
so made some valu .ble discoveries in
the department of tanning compounds
aud agencies. Vt tho last Fair, the
Columbia Tanncry exhibited leather
that showed the excellence Of DR.,
Panknins new tanning methods. We
hope that both Dr.. Poroher and DR..
Panknin will prosecute their invosti.
cations in this branch of industry.

More New Departments.

a bill is now before the Legislature
providing for the appointment Of II
Commissioner of Railroads and Tcle-
graphs. While we do not doubt that
such an officer would be Of advantage
TO the State, we must enter our pro-
test ag,in>t the crcation Of any mo. {
| expensive Offices. In our opinion there
is not work enough for such an officer
in State with such limited railroad
and tclcgraphs facilities as ours, and
unless il can he us cuiated with some
other duty there is no earthly use in
such an expensive luxury.
This duty should be reformed BY
the Commissioner Of Agriculture, and
this new proposed bureau, together
with the Land Commission, should be
merged into thut one.
In some of the other States there
are what are called railroads inspec.
tors, or commits sioncrs, whose duty it
is to inspect all railroads at least
four times Il year; for which duty they
are paid five dollarsa day and mileage
at the rate Of ten cents per mile.
Under such plan as this, the Office
OF railroad commissioner ought not 10
cost tho State more than five hun
drcd dollars per year, aud in this
State, as we have said above, the duty
could be performed by the Commits
sioner of Agriculture in addition to
the duties of Land Commi siuner.
There should DO no such thing as
two distinct officers of Land Commis..
sioner and Commi> sioncr Of Agricul-
turc. Put them both under one head
aud call it tho Agricultural Bureau.
Then add the new duties of railroad
and telegraph Inspector to those al.
ready prescribed for the two Offices
above mentioned, but the office in
Charge of competent head with
salary Of $4,000 per annum, with
one asSlstantat II salary not to exceed
$4,000 per annum, with ono assistant
at sala:y not to exceed 1000 per
anna;:., and these arc all the officers
VIC need.
Another bill provides for tie ap-
pointment Of State Geologist at
Sa'n' VI Spo,opV, Will Ill assistant NJ
$500 per annum.
Now, We have no objection to the
creation Of any necessary Office, and
perhaps We may be persuaded that
this last Is necessary one, but we
shall earnestly object to any such
salaries as these being attached to the
Offices, while our finances arc in their
present condition. Besides, there
are an abundance of able, competent
men to be found to discharge these
duties for n much smaller sum.
O,her States secure such officers for
$4,000 per annunI, and we are conf
dent we can do the Same here. We
hope the Legislature will put vote
upon tho creation of any off 20 for tho
purpose of providing place for somc-
body.
Let us find work for tho officers wo
have. without making any moro

The Columbia Canal.

We are aware Of the interest which
the people o. Columbia and the State
generally take in the development Of
the Columbia Canal. We are ena.
hlrd to give some information aud as.
suranccs upon the subject. The re.
turn of Major Pearcc to this city we
have reason to associate with the
prosecution of the work upon the Ca.
nal. We have examined the worl,
already done, and have seen for our.
selves what it is contemplated to do.
Wcstate on authority upon which We
rely, that the plan pro; oscl by tho
engineer, Major Mahon, Involving the
control and utilization Of the cntiro
waters of tho Congarce, as been ac-
ccpted and will be adopted. BY this
we shall be in possession Of water
power even greater than that oc Low.
ell, Mass, viz : 10000 horse power
that is, tho power which can be
brought into use is equal to between
ll,0OO and $4,000 horses, capable of
turning very nearly, 100000 Of
spindles. We have seen the proposed
mill sites. They arc admirably locnt-
ed, and adapted to all varied depart
ments of manufactures. We arc
gratiiied to find that the work already
done is full of promise for the future.
We need not comment upon rare adj
vantagcS to accrue to Columbia and
the State from the full and proper dc.

We observe with pleasure the indica.
tions, aud we receive with satisIactio
the assurance that the project of Mr..

amply carried out. Ph@nir.
