Our county lost one Of its most estimablc

from his horse near Cloycrda!c. DrS. Nc
Cutchcn and Hopkins were sent for, and did
all that could be done. Medical skill could
not save him. He leaves Il wife and many
friends to mourn their loss. lie was clerk OF
this county, though not the acting one. AT
our last court Judge Myers appointed e. X.
Mcdonald, brother of the deceased, clerk
pro tempore. This was u very judicious Sc
lection, as he has acted as clerk since the war
and held the office for twelve years before
the war.
The Panther GAP Iron Company have

FARM DRAINAGE.

This is also good time either to com.
mence or continue system of farm drain
age. The springs are not very low at
present, owing to the frequent rains, but
perhaps they are as low now as they will
be this year. A little water running in
the bottom of drains is not necessarily any
very great disadvantage while digging
them. If the soil is clayey and stickey, a
couple of short planks laid in the ditch. on
which to stand while using the pick or
shovel, will enable one to keep the feet
drv. and the boots above the water and
mud.
A little water is good guide by which
to keep the bottom of the drains at the
right degree of inclination. We wish we
could convince farmers who have never
tried ii of the value of undertaking.
Even where the work is but half done.
it generally gives pretty good satisfaction,
for a few years at least. We always ad-
wise doing such work ina permanent man.
ner. 1t costs too much TO DIG bitches to
have them rendered worthless in few
years for The want of little more knowl-
edge IF the how, the why and the where.
So, before beginning any large jobs, it
would be we'll to visit the fields of some
one who has been successful at draining
wet land, and learn as much as possible of
the details.

The turtles are caught in several WAYS.
Sometimes numbers are seen together, then

The turtles will dash swiftly through the
water; then slacken their speed, and pre-
pare to come to the surface and blow.
Then IS the time for action. By shouting
and beating the water, the men prevent
the turtles from getting the rest they want
so much. Again they start forward, and
again they are kept under water until they
are soon exhausted and begin to sink, when
the men leap from the boats and catch
them. Another way is to harpoon them;
sometimes they are caught in nets, or
tracked when they come up on the beach
to lay their eggs. All are deposited at
once in the sand, and covered over so care
fully that not a sign of the place can be

How to Sharpen a Screwdriver.

The screwdriver is found not only in the
tool-chest of every mechanic, but in most
houses. and in not few offices. 1t ranks
with the hammer, the saw, and the axe, in
general utility, and yet very few persons
Know anything about how it should be
sharpened SO as to do its work most eff
clently.-that is, with the least injury to
the heads of screws.
In driving screw into wood, the force
used to press the screwdriver against the
head of the screw tends to aid the latter
IN penetrating the wood, but when we at
tempt to extract the screw, every pound
Of pressure that we apply tends to render
:. more difficult to get the screw out 1t
l therefore becomes very important that the
screwdriver should be SO formed that il
may be kept in the nick of the screw bv

we can keep it 10 place only by applying

greatly more obtuse. Moreover, when
we turn the screwdriver, the tendency to
S Up out of the nick is just in proportion
to the obtuseness or bluntness of the
wedge, and therefore this form is the very
worst that can be chosen. In the hands of
most good workmen, therefore, we find
that the screwdriver ends in wedge of
which the sides is perfectly straight. This
is very good form, but is not equal to
one in which the sides of the wedge are
curves, but with the concave sides turned
outwards. In this way we lessen the OBJ
