nex logging camp about week ago, 10
he started there by Mr.. Jewett from
hi. place. Capt. Lii informs Us tina,
there are now four camps. Including
Iewitt's, in fall operation there, aud
thew .re oil working on an extensive
ale. Most Of than have not got
fally under way yet; the men being
engaged in making roads principally.
One or two of the camps have got
fully under way. however, and are
pasting in logs at lively rate. The
amber there is very heavy, tall and
clear. and makes the finest quality Of
merchantable lumber. There is also q
great amount of it. The Captain es-
Inmates that there are two or three
yesrs logging there for three or four
camps Oh a large scale. The lower
Sound is becoming the principal
logging section Of the Territory.
Il Is said that the further
down you get from the head
waters OF the Sound the heavier and
better the quality Of the timber. This
difference is also observable the far,he
back you travel from the waters Of the
Sound into the interior, aud IL is from
this latter section Of country that our
timber must principally come in the fu-
ture. Year after year the loggers push
farther back into the uncul,ed claims,
and logging becomes more and more
expensive as the distance Of hauling be-
comes greater A few years ago the
loggers thought they were iaboring un-
der "a great disadvantage if obliged to
haul their logs distance Of q quarter
or half mile TO the boom, while now
they esteem themselves fortunate if not
under the necessity Of hauling more
than mile or So Logging could then
be carried OH at a small expense, and
but little capital was required by the
boss logger. He could locate almost
anywhere along the banks Of the Sound
cut his logs on the very brink Of the
baak and roll them over into the water.
aud do quite business with scarcely
any teams at all. Now it requires con-
siderable capital TO engage in the bust
ness. Roads Of great length have TO
bo made. great deal of money must
be invested i1 teams. logging gear.
etc. and for this reason. IS is scacely
a better price for logs now than 81
would have been in the days Of yore
The time will evidently come when
we shall have large saw mills located
away III the interior. miles back from
the salt water. "a they are in the old
numbering States; for it will
be found much cheaper to trans
port the lumber down the river
or over long roads. either rail or other
wise. to the Sound for shipment, than to
bring the logs down. At least this is
considered to be SO in most other lum-
boring countries. as, in the case Of man
ufactured lumber, there is no refuse

from the coin that led him 10 be
heve that the dead mas had come
20 life. Il was In the night, and he
heard the sounds As be lay DOING and
half asleep. Again the sound was
heard and his attention was rivited to
the coffin, and the horrible possibility
that the dead might be alive thrust
itself upon the messenger so forcibly
that he called the attention Of other
employees to it, but after listening a
moment, they merely laughed at him.
The convictions Of the messenger,
however, were so strong that he had
the case opened when the train made
its next halt. The weather was very
cold, and upon the inside of the glass
plate of the coffin there had accumu-
lated q thin film of frost, such as
might have been deposited by the
breath Of a person confined in such
narrow quarters. The face was also
drawn up against the glass plates and
other disturbances indicated life.
While Burgess had no doubt that the
man, though dead then, had been
alive in the coffin, the other en-
ployees explained the accumulation
of'frost on the glass as the natural
exhalations Of the dead body, and
the disturbances of the corpse as due
to the movements in the shipping
A private dispatch received from

FORK.

The mad dog excitement is subsiding .....
The citizens are impatient at the delayed re-
pairing of the County bridge across the
Seneca. The corn crop is very promising,
and if good seasons can be had we may ex-
pect an abundant yield......The Fork last
week was literally overrun by travelling
threshers, there being not less than seven
at work at the same time, and of course
they made quick disposal of the CROP.
Our young friend, John G. Cox, lately re-
turned from Yorkville, where he had been
studenta at Kings Mountain Military School,
and expresses himself well pleased with
cadet life. He now, however, purposes pur-
suing commercial course of study at East
man College, Poughkeepsie, N. Y"...The
Rev. Prof. Holland, of Newberry College,
conducted Lutheran worship at Double
Springs, Baptist Church, last Sunday, and
announced that the Lords Supper would be
.commemorated at that place the second
Sunday proximo. Prof. Holland as pull
pit orator ranks considerably above medioc-
rity......We had the pleasure last week of
meeting Mr.. P. Frank Farmer, of Green
vile, then on visit to his relatives in this
section. He is connected with an extensive
mercantile establishment in Greenville, and
has the reputation of being an excellent
business man. But Frank seems to rejoice
in the single estate, and we would advise
hin, to cease making haste slowly, for verify
old bachelors have their reward.

it was decided acknowledgement is, that
the stock law will proye advantageous to
all classes. Miss Estella Mulligan, the
youngest daughter of Mrs. Tempy Mulligan,
was badly bitten by snake, supposed to be
a highland moccasin, on Sunday morning
last about 9 o'clock. At first the wound
appeared fatal, but by the skill of Dr. Duck
worth we are happy to relate the marked
change she has taken for the better. The
snake, when it seized its victim, was but a
few yards from the residence. We wish
Miss Estella speedy recovery from the
sting of the serpent, as she, as we'll as the
of the family, are highly esteemed
and worthy citizens.....The exercises of
