NEARLY AN ACCIDENT.
We were very near having an accident on Sun.
day. AS Rev. Mr.. Morrson's carriage was re-
turning from the Grove church, one of the horses
accidentally got one leg over the pole, and it
was only by the timely arrival of assistance that
the horses were prevented from kicking the car
rage to pieces. The occupants, consisting of
Mrs. Morrison and lady friend, were badly
and did not need second invitation
to alight. After the horses were again in their
places, the ladies concluded to walk home rather
than risk repetition of the performance.
CHILD sCALDED.
A little child Of Mr.. X. Ii. Carr was badly
scalded on Sunday, by upsetting the contents of
n tea pot over itself. DR.. Kennedy was called in
and did all that was possible to relieve its suffer-

condition.
BEs1EGED ROAD.
One of Mr.. Greenland's bee-hives was upset
by rowing hog, last Friday, and the bees swarm
interrupted, and several persons badly stung.
The most unfortunate were Mr.. Callahan and
his son, who were unaware of the accident and
attempted to pass along the road. They were
10 badly stung as to necessitate calling doctor
Their horse was also attacked and came near
'unning away. N. D. BODY.

Increase YOur Premiums.

TO the Editor Of The Agis htc'liaenccr
SIR: would like, through your columns, to
ask the directors of our Agricultural Society TO
increase their premiums at least 25 per cent over
last year. With the State donation of 81 600
the Society must now be out of debt and have n
balance in the Treasury, and it would certainly
add to the attractivencss of the exhibition by
bringing out larger and better display of fine
stock. The premiums ought to be large enough
ut any rate, to cover the cost of taking n valua-
during the fair Increase your premiums, by all
means. OLD FARMER.

FINE PoTAToEs.-Mr. E. G. Black well has
sent us for inspection some specimen potatoes
from the farm of MIR. Brinton Warner near
Forest Hill. The variety is Early Rose, one
weighing IL and the other IA ounces. TWEEN.
ty-one of them weighed 10 lbs. He also sends
a Siamese twins potato, similar to the one
noticed last week
MIR, Robert N. Hanna, proprietor of the
Eagle Hotel, Bel Air, last week gathered
from one-eighth of an acre, in his garden, "a
bushels of very fine Early Rose potatoes
This would indicate the extraordinary yield
of 432 bushels to the acre.
--One pound and nine ounces is the weight
of the largest potato we have seen this season
1t was raised in the garden of Mr.. John G
Rouse, Bel Air. Open to competition.
MIR. w. Smithson Forwood, of the Grang-
ers' Hotel, has also raised some unusually
fine Early Vermont potatoes, averaging in
weight about one pound each.

Ten years ago Mr. James P. Beale settled
on small piece of land in the Big Woods, on
which not foot of ground could be plowed,
on account of trees and stumps. He cleared
it by dint of hard blows. This year his wheat
crop was threshed out with ten-horse power
steam thresher, and averaged about 80 bushels
to the acre. This goes to prove that the same
amount of industry and perseverance, when
devoted to our Hartford county lands, will
accomplish as wonderful results as anywhere
in the world.

GOOD ADVICE TO HOUSE KEEPERs.-In
buying fish look in the gills. If pale the fish
are long out of water; if black or purple, they
have stranged in the net. The best have
bright crimson gills. In buying Holsters or
crabs, weigh them in your hand and reject
the light ones.

sALupA BAPTIST ASSOCIATION.

The Saluda Association met with the Flat
Rock Church, in this County, on last Thurs
day, and continued in session until Saturday
evening. The meeting was very large and
interesting one, al. the churches, except one
or two, being represented. The business was
transacted expeditiously and with marked
unanimity, considering the important meas
ures adopted. From the report Of the Treas
urer of the Executive Board it appears that
this Association raised larger amount of
money during the past year for benevolent
objects than anypreceding year. The time
of the meeting of this body was changed
from Thursday to Tuesday before the second
Lords Day in August, which will hereafter
do away with the Sabbath meetings. The
Church at Flat Rock and citizens Of the
community deserve great credit for the
ample provision made for the accommoda-
ton of the delegates and visitors, and the
cordial reception with which they were
greeted. The attendance during the entire
session was large, and on Sunday very
large congregation assembled. Tho Mission
ary Sermon was preached by Rev. A. w.
Lsmar at IL o'clock q. M, and the stand
was occupied in the afternoon by Rev. J. 8.
Murray. The Association adjourned to
meet next year with the Mt. Bethel Church.
