The crisis., 1878-01-03

One of the strangest spectacles ever
witnessed i'll judicial tribunal was seen
in the Supreme Court of South Carroll
ma yesterday. Six children charged with
murder were brought before the Su-
preme Judges upon a habaes corpus.
There were four boys and two girls, a.
ged between nine and twelve years.
These children are from Edgefield, and
their counsel succeeded in obtaining
bail for them in the sum of $4,000.
The alleged murder took place under
the following circumstances In the
vicinity of Ridge Spring, in Edgefeld
county, lives Mr.. Fallow, father of
four and guardian of the other two
children. On the 1st of December these
six children were picking cotton in a
field adjacent to Ills house, when ne
gro boy, about sixteen or eighteen years
old, who had been warned not to come
on the premises, made his appearance
among them, and begau to maltreat
and abuse them. A fight ensued, in
which the white children succeeded in
prostrating the negro and one of them
struck him with stone in the temple

when the Earth was Frozen Up.
Prof. L. Pope Gratacap, in Popular Science Monthly
for January
AT the end of that long course of
geological ages, from the Archa to the
Tertiary which built up the solid por.
tions of the earth in their present con-
fguration, biologists now universally
recognize, in the evidence before them,
the presence of remarkable and stu
pendous period-a period so startling
that it might justly be accepted with
hesitation, were not the conception un-
avoidable before a series of facts extra
ordinary as itself, and which, partaking
of its astonishing character, are explain
ed upon no simple hypothesis. This
era is known as the Glacial. 1t was an
era which has left its traces in unmis-
taxable monuments over the surface of
either hemisphere, and written its his
tory in no less explicit characters upon
their rocks. 1t was an epoch of arctic
rigidity, when the temperature of the
earth has become so lowered that the
cold region of either pole alternately

ously contracted circles over the tenn
perate latitudes, and to envelope with a
universal and prodigious mantle of ice
the lands which once, beneath milder
suns, had been the home of an abun.
dant and tropical vegetation. The skirts
of that glacial sea which perennially
spreads its icy and resplendent surface
over polar lands had then, by favora'
bic conjunction of solar and terrestrial
Influences, been expanded so widely
that to within the latitude of 80 deg
north Of its frigid folds hid the surface
of the earth, while below the equator {
similar period seems to have left scarce
ly less visible traces amid the forests
and pampas of South America. The
evidence which has established the
actual presence of these arctic condi
tions over great portion of our eartl
Is complete and irrefragable, and aidet
by the contemporaneous study of Al
pine glaciers and the Greenland ice
bergs, we can draw conclusions as to til,
nature of the succession of events whicl
these conditions occasioned.

This month closes the year, with all
its incidents, its progress and prosperi-
ty, and with the gainingof money should
he the gaining of experience to facii-
tate the successful work of the coming
year. Then add to your own expert
ence that of others through your agri-
cultural papers, and the enterprising,
thinking, progressive farmer increase
his working capital. Look well now to
the young stock, keep them well shelter
ed, literally fed and regularly watered
in short, keep them growing. The
older stock is of course provided for.
Don't attempt to keep more stock
through the winter than you have feed
and shelter for. Make arrangements
now for the improvement of the stock,
and during these winter months add all
possible improvements to the farm, in
buildings, fencing, and general repairs.
Fix up the barn, the cribs, the gates,
and collect all the machines in, if any
are out yet in the fields, oil them up and
store them away, look after all needed
repairs. Fill the ice house with the
first good ice, or if you have yet to build
one, see to it at once. You will be sur.
prised how cheap structure will keep
you a good supply of ice for the summer.
Attend your local fair meetings, and
assist the managers in making needed
reforms. Look especially after the
gambling at the fair. Send yonr exper,
ience of success or failure, with any new
crops or methods, to your agricultural
paper, for the benefit of other farmers
Prepare for the holidays, be sociable
with the neighbors, and make home at.
