A SAD AFFAIR.---It has been many
years since an event has occurred in
this city which has caused such genuine
sympathy as the death OF the two young
children of Mr.. and Mrs. 81. E. Reed,
on Sunday last. Fenton, the boy, aged
about two years, was taken .ilkSaturday
evening, und died early the next morn
ing; and Little Mamie. the infant, aged
one yeaf, died the same evening. The
disease is believed to have been conges-
tion of the bowels. The two little inno-
cents were enclosed in one case and de.
posted in Elmwood Cemetery.
The March number Of the Rurol Ca
roliniam is on our table, with its charac-
teristic promptness. This number, like
its predecessors, is replete with informa-
tion, which makes its regular monthly
visits 30 welcome to the home OF the
farmer. The articles generally emanate
from the pens of practical farmers,
whose familiarity with the subjects on
which they treat is portrayed in every
line and word. The terms are So per
annum; or clubs OF Elk, $40 per year;
clubs of ten, SIG; clubs Of twenty, $50.
