PERRY & SLAwSoN.-It is estimated
that no less than 5,l68,0O0 segars are
smoked in one day in the United States,
but of this number we do not now care
to tell how many are sold by Messrs.
Perry & Slawson in the city Of Colur-
bia. That they sell largely is very
certain, Judging by the packages daily
received by them and the packages daily
shipped away. These gentlemen have
exhibited q keen perception of the re-
quiremcnts of business. and have built
up trade of large proportion, much of
which may be attributed to their uni
form courtesy of manner, and they
deserve all Of the success which has at
tended their efforts to please. Another
reason, too, is that they are liberal ad-
ycrtisers, and appreciate printers ink,
through which instrumentality the fame
of their establishment has reached far
and near. A visit to Columbia without
calling on them and taking 4 fragrant
puff would be no visit ut all. Orders
promptly attended to and satisfaction
guaranteed. 6-tt.

SPRADDLEs.-Our friend Spraddles
in m evil moment went into the dog
line. His investment has proved any
thing but satisfactory. He had fancy
for setter, and got one reputed to be
worth twenty-five dollars, but Spraddles
saws, after an experience of four or five
months, that the miserable purp is not
worth twenty-five cents. 1t is not a
setter by any means, for it is always
prancing round, in the day after chickens
and cats, and at night after anything
which happens to be left out loose, such
rs door mats, children's hats, aprons.
towels or anything else. SpraddlcS
pronounces it L hound Of the meancst
kind, and if there is a species of dog on
top the earth for which he has an aver
sion it is q hound, and 4 yellow one
especially. As the dog has proven a
fraud, it is for sale; twenty-five dollars
will buy, if any man can be found will
ing to pay that much for it; if not, any
SUM below that amount, and all the
way down to twenty-five cents. The
dog has one good quality, however, he
is not rcsentful nor easy to take offence,
if he is driven out of one door lie will
come in through another in moment
after in proof that he is not mad
Spraddles is satisfied that the animal IS
not a setter, for it has not sat still a
minute since he became the owner, and
for this reason will sell cheaply. Who
wants good dog?

The Albany Argus says that frost
has penetrated into the earth to a
greater depth than ever before known
in that city-in some instances full
six feet below the street bed. Many
Of the lateral water mains conducting
water into houses have been frozen,
and these mains are laid FIVE feet be-
low the surface. Families have thus
been deprived of their supply Of Wa
ter, and it has required from forty
eight to seventy hours to get down to
the mains through the earth, frozen
almost as solid as rock, so as to thaw
out the conduiss and secure water
again.

AGRICULTURAL L1ENs.-If you have not
already ordered your Agricultural! Liens to
secure advances, do so at once. Walker,
Evans and Cogswell, Charleston, S. c., keep
on hand four different kinds, and if neither OF
these meet your views, they are prepared to
print, az the lowest prices, any special form
to order. IF the Planter or Farmer has not
yet bought the Rural Accountant, book for
simple farm accounts, let him do so at once.
They also have New Agricultural Lease
which gives the Landlord lien on crop of
tenant. This is very valuable. 2-tf.

A BIG DAY.-Wednesday last was a
big day with cotton buyers and sellers,
Notwithstanding the unfavorable wea-
ther. So many bags Of cotton are not
often seen on the streets Of our town in
one day, and especially at so late 4
period in the season, and in consequence
there was no little activity displayed,
while the pulses Of the host Of buyers
ran high. There is no doubt that each
one was glad when night put stop to
the scene and they were enabled to rest
from their labors, although they seemed
as eager for the fray then, rs when
in the morning the first wagon rolled in
through the mud. It will be day
long remembered, and we hope pleas
antly to all, those who bought and those
who sold. A close estimate gives the
number of bales sold on that day as five
hundred, and we ask with no little exul-
tation, can any other town in the State
beat it? The merchants, we are pleased
to say, revelled in trade and took in
oodles of cash.

CHAIN BRoKE.-We learn that the
chain across the Saluda at Bouknight's s

reason of the great rise in the river,
which brought a raft in contact with it.

was by canoes; horses, cattle and vehi-
cles had: to remain on either side res
pectiYely.

What possesses the girls to wear the

we cannot imagine. For several rea-

miration they are worn They are gen.
