JAMS. 1T is not generally known that
boiling FRI 1t long time and skimming
it we'll, without the sugar and without
a cover to the preserving pan, is very
economical and excellent way-econom-
ical because the bulk of the scum rises
from the fruit and not from the sugar,
if the latter is good; and boiling it with
out cover allows the evaporation of
the watery particles therefrom; the pre-
serves keep firm and are well-favored.
The proportions are, three-quarters of
a pound of sugar to a pound of fruit.
Jam made in this way, of currants,
strawberries raspberries orgooseberries,
is excellent. The best jam know of is
made of an equal quantity of goose
berries and raspberries. Some made by
us last year of this half-and-half mix
ture was preferred to all others.

the nntirlely death Of Miss Laura Alex

home of friend in New York, after a
brief illness. TWAS not among strangers
she breatlied her last, as we ut first re-
ported. A small circle of kind aud
sympatlizing friends were present to
console her III her dying hour. Many
will mourn the mntimely end of this
beautiful, accomplished and gifted
young lady. Descended from noble
ancestry. bonsting wide circle OF
flIends aud relatives, highly educated
and refined. her career III life was INK.
louslY watched by many who felt deep
interest in all that sho did and MI Tint
she hoped for. Several years ago, she
chose the stage as her profession. Tue
noblest motives prompted her 10 take
this dangerous step-a decision to aid
in the support Of those who were most
dear to her. She felt that she had
talents for acting; she knew it; aud with
all the enthusiasm and ambition of her
youthful nature, she entered upon hcr
now career, buoyant with the hope OF
winning fame and fortune, and accom-
plishing the laudable object which she
had in view from the first. Like thou
sands OF others who set out upon the
path way OF young life. gay with hope,
she encountered difficulty after diff
Guilty that she had never before dreu IN ed
OF. and again and again did fate orcc to
her lips the bitter chalice of disappoint-
ment; but with brave heart and mex.
orable purpose, she struggled on. never
yielding to despair. She failed to reach
the coveted prize that glittered before
her, and now, i'll tie very bloom ol
young womanhood. she goes to the
tomb with her great object in life bu,

In the Hsnate yesterday. Mr.. Smith,

the assessment and collection, OF taxes
for. that County. Mr.. Nash, Of. .Rioh-
land, "a bill to charter the Oongaree
Manufacturing Company. Of which
notice had been previously given, under
the name of the West Columbia Water
Power Company. Under it, it is pro.
posed to utilize water power to be de-
rived from the Congaree River by means
OF a dam, and to be operated on the
Lexingtoniside OF the river. We shall
notice it more fully when we have the
bill before us. Mr.. Whittemore offered
a resolution. which was adopted, which
instruots the Committee on Education
to inquire into the school claims in
each County and report imme diately
what legislation is necessary to secure
their payment. A bill for the relief of
Il. Il. Russell, lats County Treasurer os
Abbeville, and his sureties, was passed
by the casting vote of the President of
the Senate. The petition was signed
by respectable names, and recounted
that robbery had been committed on
the County Treasurer's Office. The bill
to incorporate the Long Cane Manufso-
turing Company passed it's second read.
ing with amendments.
In the House, which was thinly at
tended, the most important action was
the passage of the bill from the Senate
extending the time for the collection of
taxes. The bill making appropriation
for the pay Of members and attachees
was discussed at some length. Imputa-
tions were thrown out by Bowley,
Chairman Of the Committee of Ways
and Mems. against the Senate for de-
signing to secure to itself tho lions
share of the appropriation. The same
sort Of talk had been INDUCED in by q
Senator against the House. There is
apprehension on both sides that there
will not be fair division of legislative
pickings.

The Senate bill providing for the ex'

OF Representatives, and was agreed to
by q strong vote. The extension was
made Imperative on the Comptroller.
General, instead of being permissive, at

that, as thus amended. it will be CON.
curred Ia by the Senate at once. Should
itby any; accident be delayed beyond to.

yesterday: The ground of its action is
stated to be the delay which has oonti-

further fact that the time Tor the pay

CarPet.BaKger against Immigrant.
While the carpet-bag fraternity are
vexing their unrighteous souls against
the immigrants who are coming into
the State, and those who invite and en-
ploy them. these two GLASSES are getting
along very harmoniously together. Con-
~sideripg the circumstances of the coun.
try, and remembering the fact that
large number of these strangers have
ventured to come amongst us without
notice. and not to fill engagements pre-
vionsly made. it is creditable to them
and the people that they have so quickly
made satisfactory arrangements with
each other. Very little dissatisfaction
has go far been expressed. Major
Bomar. OF Spartanburg, writes for fifty
more Italians. He offers $40 month
and board, and will pay their railroad
fare mp. .He says that those already
there arc giving great satisfaction. and
the demand is rapidly increasing for
this kind of labor.

provoking, to witness the antics and
contortions of the carpet.baggers on

DEATH OF GEN. J. W. MILLER Sci.
dom has our community ever received u
greater shock than when the SO news
was received Of General j.. W. AIillor
being found dead, last Monday morn,
ing, at his res idence. nine miles from
SpartnuburS. The circumstances of his
death, as related to ug, were most my,.
terious and painful. He retired at an
early hour the night before, and Was
found dead the next morning, lying ont
IN his horse lot, near his corn crib, with
his feet extended over q log, on which,
1t IS supposed, be was sitting ut the
time the deed was committed. His
head was terribly torn to pieces by
large ball entering the upper lip Just be-
low the nose, and passing through the
upper part Of the head. Between his
feet lay pistol, with the barrel empty,
and an exploded cap on tho tube. it IS
thought by some that be might have
gone out to his crib. on hearing some
one trying to break into it, and been
killed by the rogue at close quarters.
while others think the circumstances
lead 10 the conclusion that he must have
tnken his own life. An inquest was Leld
over his body, but we have not heard
what yordiot has been giTou. We can
scarcely believe it possible that he could
have taken his own life. as ho was uni
iornly cheerful in disposition and not
given to melancholy moods. Con. Mil.
ler was q man Of more than ordinary
talent and fine address, universally
popular and highly esteemed by every
one. He represented this County many
years in the House OF Represeu tatiyes,
and also several years in the Senate.
His death will be great loss to our
County, and will long be regretted by
large circle Of his friends aud acquaint-
ances-Cmolina Spartan.
