The County Fair of Abbeville was
not, says the Medium, as good as was
expected, the display Of articles being
limited. The fault is laid tothe doors
of the farmers, and for which the
Grangers should blush: We Hooked
for a better report fron,rAbbeyille. !.
A potato cost G. o. Meetz,, living
On King street, Charleston, over seven
dollars. He threw it at a pesky goat,
but it missed aim and went into anc-
ther mans window, the shattered
glass of which damaged a ham and
fish dinner. Seven dollars and costs
was the result of throwi the unlucky
esculent. The utility Of Trial JUS
tices is clearly shown in this.
The business part of Virginia City,
Nevada, has been almost entirely de-
stroyed by fire which occurred on
the 26th, by which hotels, churches,
county buildings, newspaper, telegraph
and express Offices we're swept away.
Over 10000 persons are made home.

The storeiof Pope & Co., at Ninety
Six was broken into On Thursday
night, the 2lst., by colored men, and
a quantity Of goods abstracted. One
of the men carried the goods to.New
Market to ship them by Express to
Charleston, and on being told as he
started out that he had not paid
enough, drew pistol and shot Mr..
Green, the agent, through the arm.
He was attacked by Green's dog,
which he shot. and then escaped. He
has since been arrested. t. :~@ -
A resolution was adopted at the late
annual meeting Of the Abbeville- Agri-
cultural Society looking to South
Carolina representation at the Pbila-
delphia Centennial: Each county in
the State is invited earnestly to send
delegates to the State Fair, to wait
upon the Governor and request the
appointment Of a suitable Commis-
sioner to represent the State at the
Centennial exhibition, to make known
to, the. country the agricultural pro-
ducts, the character Of its. various
soils, the trees Of the forests, and its
mineral and other resources.
The Western infationists should be
cautious abogt claiming the support
of the South in the Democratic Ma
tional Convention. The South desires
first of all a change of administra-
ton, and it will allow nothing to stand
in the way Of the accomplishment Of
that desire. If the, entire Southern
delegation, should be in favor of infa-
ton, which is gross improbability,
and it should, be evident to them that
the Democrat who could most certain
ly be President, was a hard money,
they would vote solidly for him. No
careful, student Of Southern sentiment
will dispute this assertion. When this
fact is taken into consideration the
obstacles to any hard money Democrat
receiving the requisite two-thirds vote
are greatly diminished. 49,. ::
