Valuable Property for Sale.

able tract of land in Tokens County.
The sale will take,. place, under order of
court. on sales-day (the first Monday in
May. Besides the intrinsic value of the
land, the fine improvements upon it, in
the way Of commodious dwelling
house, out-buildipgs. ETC., fine tar
yard, said to be the best in the State, in
successful operation, &c., there is that in
the location OF the property which
should make it highly desirable ac-
QUESTION. Piokens County is probably
the most healthful of any portion of the
State. The braoing and invigorating
mountain air, the high table lands, and
the abundance OF pure and delioiously
cool water, serves to make that section
most charming summer resort. There is
an abundance of game there, too-such
as deer, pheasants, &o.-and the streams
are stocked with bountifnl supply of
the mountain trout, than which there is
nowhere to be found more delicately
favored feb. The property, which is
known as the Cruikshank lanyard, is
situated on the Airline Railroad, and
within easy access of the growing and
prosperous town of Greenville, and like
wise Of the thriving village of New
Pickens. This sale offers o fine opportu-
nifty for some Northern or Western
grazier to make an excellent investment.
Stock raising, even on the limited
scale which the native landowners there
ara enabled to carry it on, is most re-
munerative business paying immeasur-
ably greater profits, at least, than cotton
planting in the lower Counties of the
State. There is plentiful and luxuri.
ant growth of grass and other pasturage
in the fertile valleys and along the banks
OF the numerous creeks and brooklets.
Fruit-growing, too, is largely engaged
in, and pays we'll. Peaches are grown
there to perfection. and apples from that
section, of the rarest and finest quality,
are brought down in wagons to the lower
and adjoining Counties. and gives en-
ployment and support to hundreds OF
people. The inhabitants of Pickens are
a quiet, orderly and industrious class,
and homicide, or even violent assault
and battery, are evils but rarely expert
enced in that peaoe.loving community.
In every way, indeed, Pickens and the
adjoining mountain Counties are the
most deleotable localities in the State.
The Baltimore Sun gives an account of
the extensive damage by the wind, rain
and lightning, in that city, on Tuesday
last. and concludes as follows:
The storm had fearful effect upon
the crowds which filed the tents OF the
circus and menagerie at the Belair Mar
ket lot. At one time, almost a panic
was created among the hundreds of men,
women and children who were present.
The rain came in at the flies and soiled
many bonnet, and drove some of the
spectators in the circus tent from their
seats. As the storm rose, the wind came
driving in, swelling the canvas like
huge balloon, fairly lifting it, and threat
enlng an instantaneous collapse. Of
course, there was general alarm, but as
the rain was coming down in perfect
sheets, it was bettor to remain than to
DEAVo Cu6 SCOIm OUTSIDE. In6 perform
ance, however, continued without inter-
ruption; but towards the close, the ex-
citement was intense. heightened by the
noise of the creaking ropes, the cries of
the women and children hurrying to and
fro, the thunder and vivid lightning,
and the fearful-looking beasts in their
cages excited by the unusual commotion.
Many persons left before the perform
ance was over, and some hurriedly crept
under the canvas ont into the black
darkness, bewildcred by the sudden
transition from the glare and excitement
within. Hundreds of people took refnge
temporarily under the Belair Market
sheds. nearly all Of them more or less
drenched aud uncomfortable, separated
from their companions or children, and
anxious only to get home.
