HOME CIRCLE.
THE STUFF TO CHECK ABAGGAGEMAS.

Our readers who are accustomed to travelling,
will take an exquisite satisfaction in learning
that a reckless baggage smasher on an eastern
road, has met his just doom. The Buffalo Cous
rier tells how it came about;
To him there Games stumbling man, sad eyed
and meek and thin,
Bearing an humble carpet-bag with scanty stuff
therein
And unto that fierce baggage man he spake with
quivering chin:
Behold this scanty carpet-bagl l started a
month ago.
With dozen Saratoga trunks hat box and
portmanteau,
But baggage men along the route have brought
me down thus low
"Be careful with this carpct,bag, kind sir" said
he TO him.
The baggage man received it with smile ex-
tremely grim,
And softly whistled Mother may I go out to
swm2'
Then fercely jumped upon that bag in wild,
sardonic spleen,
And into countless fragments few-to his pro-
found chagrin--
For that lank bag contained pint Of nitro>gly-
cernel
The stranger heaved gentle sigh and stroked
his quivering chin,
And then he winked with one sad eye, and said,
with smile serene,
THE stuff to check baggage man is nitro-gly-
cerinel'

Oats from Anderson.

Wheat is threshed, and the yield hardly
amounts to half a crop. The supply is not
beyond the local demand. Corn looks
quite promising, but we are not very san
guine of an extra yield, as the stalk is gem
orally small, and a great many have no
ears at all.
Very serious and distressing news reaches
US from the lower end of Uuion. The
cholera, we hear is there, proving fatal in
a little while. A gentleman from Bull
Run contracted it at Knoxville and died.
His attending physician also died, and his
son conveyed the disease TO the commune
ty mentioned above. One lady took it
aud died in about twenty-four hours.
Another died in six hours after taking 1t.
A person from neighborhood went down
to 'Leinart's Mill, six miles below here,
took it and died Immediately. II is feared
the disease will carry other members OF
the community and families away in Its
! fearful career.
People are about through work. Times
are dull aud money scarce, but Messrs.
! Clear d Wallace, at this place, say trade
is excellent. Long may they flourish.
