To DAcEELoRs.--T The best domestic mag
azue extans, is wife who knows how &c
blow a fellow up.
ACoAcH.-We have heard passengers ar
irving enquire "for the wagon" 'Would il
pay" for carriage to be in attendance at the
trains?
Sunday last was the first Sunday in Ad
vent, recognized by some branches OF the
Christian Church as the beginning Of the
ecclesiastical year.
The G. & c. r. Rive learn that our old
friend, Burr J. Ramage, who has long and
faithfully served the c. & G. +. R., as its
agent here, has resigned that Office, and also
the Express agency, and that Capt. n. B.
Mazyck having received the appointments,
entered upon his duties Monday last.
HoGs.-Several droves of fat porkers were
on the market last week, and our sausage
loving people freely bought at cts. Weigh
ing, squcaliug, killing, cutting, rendinG lard,
grinding sausage, have been the order OF
the day since last Wednesday, with the con-
sequent mud and blood. Hungry men Gre
at discount.
We learn that colored man named Geo.
Reuwick, attacked bugler Smith, Of the gar
1ison, last Friday night, and inflicted knife
wound on the back of his neck and throat
eight inches long. He was cut just above
the carotid artery. DR.. Lytton took up quite
q number of stitches, and the wounded man
is doing well. It was evidently an attempt 10
cut Smiths throat.
FAIR NoT1CE.-The troubles in the Spring
and the conScQ aeat scarcity Of money in the
summer, caused subscribers AID advertisers,
not q few, to fa.l into arrears. They are now
earnestly called TO come in and settle between
this and Januar2 first. After that time all
accounts Of this kind will be given out for
collection. Save us and yourselves trouble,
friends, by acceding to our request.
4 PASSENGER DEPoT.-We learn that
Superintendent Dodamead will have the
platform enlarged and we'll appointed Ia
dies saloon erected thereon. This is felt
want, and Mr. Dodamead will have done
we'll. We cannot magnc he the agent and
his clerks get along with hurried aud ardUous
duties, with their little cuddie filed up with
passengers and others during the most busy
hours Of the day.
A FIRE ESGISE.-Somcbody asks why
dou't you advocate the necessity or propre-
ty of getting fire engine? Well, for the
simple reason, that those who should be
most interested will not read anything on
that subject. We have rendered useless .
gross Of excellent steel pens and l score OF
Fabcr's hest pencils, more Or less, writing
on the subject, and have failed to make it
awaken anybody as yet. That's why.
COUNTY AGRICULTCRAJS JSoC1ETT.-Some
one else inquiries why don't you stir the peo-
pie up about the formation of an Asricu!tu-
raj Society. With tears in our ey2s we re-
ply-we have tried, but the people are so
busy that it is impossible 10 find time to al
tend q roeeting for that purpose. Time was,
but is no. now. Bide while honest friend
there is good time coming-may be in the
next generation.
An acorn suspended by / piece Of thread
within half an inch of the surface Of water in
a hyaciuth glass will in a few months, burst
and throw 4 root down in the water, and
shoot upwards its straight and tapering stem
with beautiful little green leaves. A young
oak tree, growing in this way on the mantle
shelf Of room, is very elegant and inter
esting object.
The married ladies Of Hannibal, No, have
have formed "Come Home Husband Club.
I, is about four feet long and hasa brush on
the end Of it.
# there arc any wives in Newberry who
have Observation-Disclosures, we
advise them 10 form the same kind Of clnb.
lit is we'll formed, one good application will
effect cure. -
Bonnet SeUAsu.-Wc are indebted 10
Mr.. II. Morris, Of Columbia, one Of the ma
kcrs of the popular Cotton Gin, so we'll known
in this county, for q Bounet Squash. Some
of Our readers no doubt have seen this rege-
table curiosity and are acquainted with its
uses, one Of which is its adapta5ility or avail
ability for bonnet purposes. To US, however,
il is curiosity, and handsome bonnet or
hat made out Of one, and seen at The lac
State Fair, excited our wonder and admira-
ton. The squash is about 13 inches in
length, and six at larseS, circumference, the
Inside Of which when dried can be used as
above mentioned, or as sponge, aS it IS
tough and $pongy. Mr. Morris will please
a.cep, our thanks for the favor.
PRENcD!TATED kILL!NG.-.i local ap-
naared in the Herald Of last week, which
s..;ed ''that Mr.. John Robinson inot the Cit
Gus NAM would arrive on v ednc$day. &c"
excited more interest than was anticipated,
for during the whole day after he came,
crowds Aocked to the place where he had lc-
Gated, aud it was as much as his co-partner,
Nr. CorcIaad could do 20 keep them quiet,
and ,ha, only for very short time. Num-
hers Of excited men could be seen goitg
