Remarkable euro of a Snake Bite,

Rev. j. E. King, of this place, says
the Spartanburg Herald, informs us
that his littlo daughter was bitten by
poisonous snako, q few days ago,
and hc cured her by simply holding
the part bitten close to the FIRE aud
the poison was arrested and drawn
out by the heat of the fire, just in the
same way that burns are cured by
holding the burnod part near the
fire. Mr.. King says this is the second
cure he has effected by this simple
remedy, and that ho has known of
several other cnres by the same re,
medy within his acquaintance.

lie says it was accidentally dis
covered several years ago, by a young
man who was bitten on the foot by d
ground rattle snake, one of the most
poisonous of all snakes, while works
ing OH the farm of his uncle in North,
Carolina. When bitten, the young
man called out Cor help, and went
to the place where the hands had
lire to warm their dinner and, while
waiting tor attention, no held his foot
to tile fire to see if he had any feeling
IN his foot, that previous to holding
his foot to the fe he felt the poison
going up his leg like hot iron was
being run up his leg, and when lle
held his foot near the fire tho pain
was greatly increased, hut, instead
OF continuing up his leg, it slowly
came down and finally quit hurting,
and, when the W und was examined,
the poison was picked out in lump
on the point ola knife.
Mr.. King is a minister OF the Bap>

THR TRADE In DRIED BLAoKpRR~
RlRs.-In the Piedmont region og
North Carolina, this has become an
enormous business. At tho towns of
Rodsvillc, Winston and Hickory,
thero is marketed annually about
100000 pounds. The gathering Of
thcsc berries affords employment 10 %
great many poor people, and is no.
small matter in thoir slondor income.
Tho demand for them is so constant
m the Northwest that agents are sent
out from there in advance to mako
contracts for supplies. This industry
might become as general among tho
poor pcoplo in the corresponding re-
region in this State and we trust they.
will BIO encouraged in prosecuting it.
Wo know how from nothing great
business has grown up among us in
Sumac. Sicily onoc had tho mono
poly of it; but tho trade hos learned to
valuo ours; indeed with moro caro-
observed in gathering it the standard
Of ours will quito reach that Of Sicily.
These arc minor matters in our gem
oral economy; but they bring comfort
to many needy people, and in tho ag-
grcgato of our work, provo to DO no
insignificant factor.

ASHES FOR SWEET PoTAroEs.- A

asked, which is the best fertilizer or
manure for sweet potatoes? From

rotted (hard wood] ashes whcn PROP

others l have had any experience
with. The plan that 1 adopted was
to open q deep furrow with scooter
plough, and put in p!cnty of ashos.
Bod out on the ashes, and sure crop
may bo realized on tho poorest soil.
Cow ponning is good-so aro cotton

perimonting with the ashes, they will,

be had. 1 experimental on as poor

SUFFERING IN THE Low COUNTRY
Tho Union Horald says: Letters
from sections of Beaufort and Colo.
ton counties give distressing accounts
of tho suffering of tho people from
want of tho actual ncccssares of lifo.
The Executive Office is in almost daily
receipt of petitions and memorials
from those localities appealing to tho
Governor for advances of bacon and
corn until tho srops chall bo gathered.
We woro informed by dolagato to
the Democratic Convention from
Hardoevillo, Beaufort county, that
many people in his vicinity have not
tasted meat for thrco wcol1s, many
living upon ono meal day, and many
wero consuming their last bushel Of
corn, without money or credit to got
moro. This terrible state of affairs
exists amongst whites and blacks
alike, and appeals to tho Christian
and charitable sympathios of every
man. Wo desire simply to call attcn-
tion to tho matter in order that fur
thor inquiry may ascertain tho cor.
rectncas Of these reports, and wo sug-
gcst, if thcy are found to bo truo, that

Reform With a Vengeance.

Tho Columbia Unions Horald raises
q wall of chargin over the empty State
Treasury, and bethinks itsolf how tho
salaried officers of tho State, and tho
State institutions, tho penitentiary, tho
lunatic ASYLUM, and the orphan asyo

cotemporary thinks that as State Of

negotiate their way through tho drv
season, thoy will by hook or crook, bo
able to got through tho present
squeeze. The convicts, it thinks, can
be made TO contribute not lttlo to
their own maintenance, by working on
tho Big Lake plantation, and at tho
penitentiary brick yard. For tho in>
mates of the orphan asylum and of the
asylum for lunatics the Herald has
nothing better to offor than an appeal
to charity! And is this tho point to

to understand that the party lever of

prevent tho recurrence of such lamen~
table scandals, but that the General
Assembly refused to heed his advice.
And yet tho Herald insists that the
Republican party must bo trusted to
