PRODUCE AND PROVISIONS.

Trade in produce continues fairly active. at
generally full prices. With the exception OF
grain, the most active deal is in apples. Re-
ceipts of apples are large, mostly from Mis-
souri, The demand for produce from the
upper country continues undated, and has
become particularly brisk since the news OF
the completed railroad connection with
Brainerd and with Fishers Landing. Large
amount of produce as well as groceries, pro-
visions and other stores, have been sent up
the upper Missouri, to several OF the suffers
posts on that stream, to the Black Hills, to
Manitoba and to Bismarck and the Northwest
generally Lake Superior buyers are urging
forward their supplies as rapidly as possible,
and lumbermen from various points OF the
compass are ordering somewhat freely. Grain
OF all kinds as we'll as -four, IS arriving freely
and prices are tolerably we'll sustained.
FLOTR-The Eastern demand for car lots
on orders continues brisk. Shipments are
large, and prices are steady. Many country

The Associate Reformed Church was filled
Yesterday with a large congregation. Rev.

II was my pleasure to meet, on Saturday,
Rev. E. J. Meynardie, D. D., recently elected
trustee of the South Carolina University.
It is certainly an occasion for profound re-
joicing that the University, once the pride of
the State, has been restored to the keeping of
true and noble sons of the State, whom she
delights to honor. This is one of the happy
fruits of that glorious political redemption,
which followed the recognition of Governor
Hampton by the President. DR.. Meynardie
favors the restoration of our State University
to its former condition, that of College.
He thinks the success of the University sys-
tenn depends upon heavy endowments When
the University has been opened for the re-
ception Of students, he approves Of great mod
GRAFTON in the rate of tuition; and when the
finances of the State will permit, he thinks
tuition should be free. The State, he thinks,
owes this to the SONS of the gallant men who
fell in her defence during the late war. DR..
Meynardie opposes that section of the bill be-
fore the Legislature, respecting the Universe
ty, which refers to the appointment of per-
sons with powers, as he alleges, in conflict
with those of the Trustees. In the event Of
this bill becoming law, he will tender his
resignation as trustee. QU1.

Captain Dwight will be in charge of this
work, and better selection could not have
been made by the directors. He has had long
experience in his profession. As engineer on
the staff of General Kersbaw, during the war,
he was a most efficient and valuable officer.
He has, at different times, been engaged on
the Blue Ridge and other railroads in this
State, and on several in the West-among
them the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Rail-
way. On this he was employed as principal
assistant in the erection of the bridge across
the Missouri river at Beonville. This bridge
is one of the finest structures of the kind in
America. With such an experience and
with native talent of high order, Captain
Dwight will prove most excellent officer,
and will do good service for the Chester and
Lenoir."

THE CROPS.

From all sections of the county we hear un-
favorable reports of the cotton prospect. Ow-
ing to the rains and the cool atmosphere pre-
vailing for some time after planting was over,
much of the cotton planted failed to come
up-the seed rottng in the ground-while
the plant is feeble and sickly. With warm
weather, however, the crop may greatly i'm
prove.
The wheat crop continues promising. There
was never better prospect at this season for
a fine yield than is presented at the present
time in York county. Oats and corn are not
so promising. Corn is suffering from the same
causes that have proved disastrous to the cot
ton plant.
Fruit trees of all varieties are heavily la.
den, and for the first time in three or four
years will there be an abundant crop.

8. That in order that the inmates of the
poor house may have an opportunity of en-
joying the preaching of the gospel, we recon-
mend that the County Commissioners be re-
quested to instruct the superintendent to tit
up stand and make arrangements with the
pastors of the several churches in the COM
munity, for preaching. This to be attended
with no expense, except for the erection OF
stand.
We have examined, as we'll as our time
would allow, the Offices of the Sheriff, of the
Clerk of the Court, and of the Judge Of Pro.
bate. The books pertaining to these several
Offices we find to be neatly and correctly kept.
Owing to the peculiar condition of affairs
in the State, the School Commissioner elected
in November last, has been unable to do any
thing toward putting the free schools in ope-
ration. He is compelled to await the action
of the Legislature.
The Office of County Treasurer, as we'll as
that of County Auditor, is vacant.
The county Jail is secure, and kept neat
and clean.
In view of all the facts in the case, the
grand jury would recommend that the exist
ing fence law of the State of South Carolina
be repealed. We earnestly request the pre-
siding Judge of this circuit that this, our re.
commendation with regard to the repeal OF
the fence law, be forwarded, at as early Pc
riod as practicable, to our Senator, and Rep,
resentatives in the House, that their action
may be governed accordingly.
In closing our report We cannot refrain
from calling attention to the alarming num-
ber of burglary and larceny cases which came
before US at this term. Evidently, these
crimes are on the increase.
Respectfully submitted,
w. M. WALKER, Foreman.
On receiving the report of the grand jury
his Honor agreed that the various recommen'
dations as to the poor house should be COM
piled with.
In regard to the county Offices, his Honor,
after complimenting the various county off,
GERS of York county for the faithful discharge
of their duties, remarked that it was but prop
er that the said Offices should occasionally
have a thorough examination, and to this
end, he authorized the foreman to appoint
two Of the grand jury to act with him as
committee to thoroughly investigate all the
Offices of the county, employing an expert to
aid them in the work, and make a report Of
their investigation at the next term of the
Court.
That portion of the report recommending
a repeal of the fence law, met with the hear
ty approval of his Honor, who commented at
some length in favor of the proposed change.
A term of the Court, for the trial Of civil
causes alone, will be held, commencing on
Tuesday, the 7th of August next.
