RYAN Hotel OH Fire.

On Saturday last the roof of the Ryan
Hotel caught on fire from spark from
the chimney, and had it not been for the
gallant and highly commendable con-
duct of Messrs. F.. A. BellanGer arc
Frank Sandland in promptly scaling the
steep roof, we doubtless would have had
a confagration of considerable magni-
tude.
In this connection, we would, at the
request of Mrs. Ryan, return her heart
felt thanks to the good people of Edge
field, white and colored, for so promptly
rushing to her assistance on the first
alarm of fire, and who, through their
timely efforts, succeeded in saving her
property. She feels very grateful, and
will remember their kindness with last
ing gratitude.

BY RUTH.
Afar from the homeeo eof his parents he
wandered,-
Across the broad prairie his glad spirit
flew,-
On futurity's verge not moment he
pondered,
On youths buoyan. hopes, butto friends
babe adieu.
To the far distant West ambition did bear
him,
Borne aloft on its wings all danger to
scorn,
He was brave as the bravest,-'twere fol-
lyto dare him,
But the Red foe has triumphed,-our
WILLIE we mourn.
O WILLIE, dear WILLIE, the pride OF
our dwelling
The light of our home. like some bright.
beaming star,
Our fond hopes are blighted, and vain
our bewailing,-
O why did he stray from his kindred so
far?
The hand of stranger his aching brow
pressing,
His eyes closed in death, when the strug-
gle was GER
And the lad who left home with a fond
mothers blessing,
Now sleeps his last sleep on the South
Bradie shore.
He sleeps where the cypress and myrtle
are twining; IS
The waters of Bradie his resting-place
lave,-.
Where the stars, and the moon, from
above in their shining,
Look down on our lone WILL1E's desc
late grave.
o WILLIE, our idol, 'twere vain to do
plore thee,-
Thy grave is far distant, no loving ones
near,
But the willow above, and the grass wa
wing DER thee,-
Through time WE'LL bedew with sad MEM
ory's tear.

A Prisoner Escapes from our JAN.
On Tuesday night last, between 9 and
10 O. clock, John Harden, Of Aiken Coun-
ty. who was lodged in our Jail somethree
weeks ago, for the killing of his cousin,
Elbert Harden, made his escape there
from. Through a hole which he had cut
in the floor of his room, in the second
story, he dropped into an unoccupied
apartment beneath: and in the twinkling
of an eye had sprung out of the building
and was gone. AS yet he is still at large

The crop reports from all parts of Eu-
rope are more satisfactory, and it is now
confidently anticipated that the deiicien-
cy in England and other countries will
be less than was regarded as probable a
month or six weeks ago. In England, at
the very best, however, the wheatharvest,
Notwithstanding the improved weather,
must fall considerably below the reduced
average of last year, with the result o.
rendering England still more dependent
on foreign countries for food supplies.
Yet it is a remarkable fact, and one
which illustrates the beneficial operations
of the natural laws of trade when not
interfered with by legislation, that the
arrivals of foreign grain are so so regular
and large that the price Of wheat is now
somewhat lower in England than it was
u year ago.

In reply, briefly, we would say thatwe
cannot inform our enquiring friend, f..
e. F.' rs to Mr.. Devore's supply OF Oats
this wear, but think it quite likely that
if he will call on Mr.. d. with few green
backs in his pocket, he can get sufficient
seed Oats to try Mr. DIS. plan once more
"F. IE F." further makes enquiry con-
corning the status of our correspondent
Shatterfield." In reply we would as
sure "F. IL F." that "Shatterfield," in
this instance, is an intelligent and thor
oughly enserprising gentleman, residing
and farming extensively and very sue
cessfully, in the vicinity of the thriving
manufacturing village of Shatterfield,
situated some few miles Northeast oil
Liberty Hill, and on the western side OF
Edgefield County. The manufactures OF
Shatterfield comprise Brick-yard, Shoe
shop, and Shuck-collar shebang-all
making money.
In conclusion: We will cheerfully al
low Jake to "hitch on his slide' to our
wooden road train, provided he will give
the months work,-but if Jake is not
more successful raising "t'Wck," than
"F. & F." is on the Oats culture, our
train will not be annoyed with Jake's
"slide, more than once in every ten
years--that is, if Jake puts full load on
his "slide." ED ADN.

The OATS Question Again Under Con-
sideration.
For the Advertiser.

HARDTIMEs, 18th July, 1878.
Mr.. EDITOR: Will you please inform
me if Mr.. Elbert DeVore has any of the
famed Red Rust Proof Oats for sale this
year? He seems to be reticent on the
subject. And las Shatterfeld calls him)
his protege,-young Mr.. L.-how is his
crop? By-the-by, who is Shatterfield,
or what is Shatter6eld, or where is Shat
terfeld? Now do tell me, my dear Mr..
Editor, was Shatter6eld, who, what, or
wherever he, she or it is, in earnest or
.merely burlesqueing Mr.. D. and his pro-
tege? Was not that the most astounding
effect, the Oats merely smelling the Qua
no and yielding so prodigiously? Well!
Well! Old fogies like me can't keep up
with science.
Now let me give you my experience.
Last Summer, after having read with
amazement the articles on Oat culture,
by Mr.. DeVore and his protege, young
,a-. L.. and Shatterfelds accidental eX-
perience, thinks I to myself las Cousin
Sally billiards. sterotyped phrase has it,
as am in the habit of sowing every year
and making no Oats, I'll try Mr.. DIS.
and his protege's plan. Il can't try Shat
terfield's for the simple reason I have no
guano for my Oats to. smelly Well, as
the aforesaid protege'di his, scratched
in about one bushel per acre of the K. Il.
P. Oats with harrow. against the judg-
ment of practical old neighbor OF mine,
who does not believe in book-farming
If it does come out of n newspapers
by George, have made no Oats as usual.
Please inquire of Mr.. D, for me, il he
has any more Of the same sort for sale.
I am hard to convince as my practical
old ncighbor, above mentioned, says.
Now, I think the hot dry summer, oil
last year, and the hot dry fall, and the
devilish cold, wet, freezing, spewing win
ter. had something to do with my failure.
Don't know how it would have been
could the seed oats have smelt sack OF
guaro. However, I will try Mr.. DIS.
and his protege's plan once more, and
then, in the event of failure again, will
probably adopt Shatterticld's aromatic
arrangement.
