SEED WHEAT.

There is question among wheat
growers as to the quantity Of wheat
to be sown to the acre. Some intel
ligent experienced growers maintain
that thin seeding, whether the land
be rich or poor. will produce the
largest crop. This argument con
veys the idea that more space, in
reason, produces more stooIing, heav-
Ter and better grain, which, to us,
seems reasonable, aod even if no
better than thick seeding, possesses
at least the merit Of saving grain al
ready produced, which is no very
small matter. Ii Que grain of wheat
VIII spaced will thereby stool out a
dozen heads, what is the sense OF
throwing away the other eleven
grains to produce tho same result
knowledge of the qnaa'i'y Of the
land ought to enable every farmer to
determine the quantity to be seeded,
bearing in the capacity Of the grain
for siooling.

THE RASPBERRY.

The usual mode of propagating
the raspberry ia from the shoots or
canes called suckers" which are
produced from the collar and spread
ing roots of the plant. A crop Of
these spring up every year. Better
plants and many more of them may
be produced, however, by taking up
the roots, cutting them into small
pieces, say an inch long, and plant-
ing them in beds of good, rich, light
earth, with little bottom heat and
q glazed sash over them until they
have made a good start. They may
then be transplsnted to the open
borders. In this way fine plants
are made 10 single season much
better than the ordinary suckers
from old plants, Tho stem of the
raspberry is bienuial-that is, the
canes are produced one season and
bear fruit the next and then die
The pruning is very simple it con-
sists mainly 10 cutting away early in
the spring the old cane that has
borne. Some cullivstors do this as
soon ss the fruit is gathered, but on
the whole it is probably safer to
leave it to finish its natural course
and cut it away at the spring or
winter pruning.
We have obtained large quanti>
ties of plants by drawing out the
long canes upon the ground fasten>
ing them down with forks and puts
ting earth upon them foot apart.
This can be done after the frat has
ripened and been gathered. The
young plants spring up and the fol-
lowing spring can be ses out where
they are wanted We prefer that
to any other plan we ever tried.

To estimate the quantity Of cord
wood on an acre Of woodland re
quires experience. A person who
has been engaged in clearing land
and cutting wood could give very
close estimate at a general glance,
but other persons would make the
widest guesses. An inexperienced
person may proceed as follows -
Measure out four square rods OF
ground /; that is, thirty-three feet
each way, and count the'trees, aver
aging the cubic contents as pear a;
possible of the trunks, and adding
one fourth of this for the limbs
Then, as lbs cubic feet make a
cord, and the plot is one fourth Of
an acre, the result is easily reached
Fair good timber land should yield
q cord to every four square rods.

Of Charleston, and District Attorney
Northrop, who have no political strength.
Among those who have had interviews
with tho President is John II. Cochran,
who was chairman of the Legislative
committee which investigated and expos.
ed the carpet-bag thieves, and who urged
the President very strongly to do some
thing, for the party down there. He
told Mr.. Hayes that while there were
eight white Republicans out of III dele
gates in the last Republican State Cun-
yention, it was doubtful whether there
would be even one white r. publican in
the next convention. Cochran tells the
administration people that if they want
10 have the party resuscitated they must
give place TO such men as Melton and T..
w. NJ. Mackey.
1t is with some surprise that We find
ex-senator Cochran seeking to revive the
old Republican party in this State, for
wo had thought he knew too we'll that its
corrupt carcass has been buried too deep
for any resurrection. 1t is also surprs-
ing to see him name f. w. NJ. Mackey
MS suitable and proper person to repre-.
sent his views Of a public officer. IIo is
correct Mackcy is entirely the proper
class of individuals to revive the old Re
publican party. If this dispatch reports
Mr.. Cochran correctly, we may hereafter
know exactly where to place him. If it
does not properly represent him, no time
should be lost in correcting it.

ROMANTIC MARRI4GE.-M w. ].
Erwin, of Abbcville County, and Miss
Davis, of Charleston, were married last
January, but it was until n month ago
that the fact became generally known.
1t seems that Mr.. Erwin was in Charles
ton during the Christmas holidays to see
his sweetheart. They had been cngaged
for some time before this visit and Mr..
Erwin in..sted on marriage at once, but
the lady objected to going to the country
so soon. Mr.. Erwin proposed com
promise by marrying at once, with the
understanding that sh. should come to
his home in Abbeyilie rs soon MS posi-
bic. A minister was called, and in the
presence of the family of which she was
member, the marriage ceremony was
performed. The minister was requested
to say nothing of the matter, Mr.. Erwin
returned to his home at Erwin's Mill in
Abbcville County, and the young lady
remained at her home in Charleston un-
til some time in June, when she came to
Honea Path, where she was met by her
husband. Up to this time nobody in the
knew anything of his marriage, and on
her arrival all were surprised. We have
had the pleasure of meeting the happy
couple in their neat cottage, with its
vine clad porch, under the hill, where the
city bride will hcnceforth live, within the

FATAL ACCIDENT AT GoUDEYsvILLE.
"A communication, under date Of July
22d, to the Union Times, says: This com
munity was thrown into intense excite
ment yesterday from the killing Mr..
John j. Wood, an upright, peaceable
and worthy man, living on Mr.. ]. T.
Moorehead's plantation. A parry of five
were in the woods squirrel hunting and
had freed squirrel. A colored man in
the party, named Willis Wise, told the
others to be quiet, rs he saw the squirrel.
He raised his gun to fire, when the squir-
rel ran down the tree, Willis lowering
his gun as he ran, then fired. Mr.. Wood
was on the opposite side of the tree and
the whole load from the gun struck him
behind the left ear and lodged over the
right eye, mangling the whole head
frightfully. He lived about two hours.
Trial Justice j. OI. Greer empaneled a.
jury and held an inquest over the body.
The verdict of the jury was in accordance
with the facts above stated, that he came
to his death, by mischance or accident,
from gun shot wound in the hands OF
Willis Wise.
Willis was admitted to bail in the sum
of $500 to appear at the next October
term of Court.
Mr.. Wood leaves p devoted wife and 4
little children besides many relatives to

FATAL ACCIDENT.-On Saturday, at
about quarter past II O'Clock p. m., col
ored woman, q servant in the residence
of Mr.. L. 0. Lowndes, II Lcgare street,
was attracted to n room in the third story
by sound which she describes as re-
scmbling that of heavy fail. UpoE
entering the apartment she found Mr..
Martin l.. wilkins, nephew of MIR.
Lowndes, who resided with him, stretched
on the floor, with Colts navy revolver
by his side. Assistance was Immediately
summoned and obtained, but it was una
vailing, Mr.. Wilkins having evidently
died l'nost tinstantaneously. A gun-shot
wou. was found on his left side near
the region of the heart, the ball having
ranged upwards, touching the lung. The
fatal shot had evidently been fred from
the pistol near him, one chamber of
which was found to have been discharged.
Trial Justice Burnet held an inquest dur

verdict of death from the accidental dis.
charge of pistol in the hands Of the
