From the Department of Agriculture.

Hon. w. G. LeDuc, the energetic Commission
or of Agriculture has sent us packages of Cab
bage, Tomato, Lettuce, Melon and Sugar Corn
Seeds. 1t is the first we have received since the
slate unpleasantness," although we known of
large quantities of seed having been sent to in
dividuals in this County annually. During Rad
ical msrule June Mobley was the vehicle through
which those seed were disseminated in Union,
and, of course, but few if any white persons
ever saw any Of them and, as o natural result,
the collection and distribution was o waste of
time and money. Since that time we are not
aware of the department sending seeds TO this
County.
To our noble Representative J. II. Evins, are
we indebted for this departure from Radical
custom.

What q Id sasonf
We artne5t very anxious to complain Of our
County Oficials on the contrary Do have e'often
leaned tooSfAt the other way, evan when we
thought thy deserved censure. Particularly
has this hsap The case with the County Commits
sicnss kavs tried 10 ohser and assist
in the l66psf discharge Of their often dificult
duties. The present Board is composed Of hon
est and good men, in whom we have every con-
fdonce, burthey, like other folk, are liable to
be remiss in their duties, often to the incon-
venience and expense of large number of
citizens. The uncertainty of their meetings is
the greatest source of this inconvenience.
For instance, last Tuesday was the day ap-
pointed for their monthly meeting, and number
of persons who had business with the Board
came long distances in q cold drenching rain to
meet them, and when they arrived were in
formed that the Board would not meet. They
had their journey for nothing. Those same
persons hold claims against the county and came
here at he.meeting in January, but were then
informed that the Board could draw no orders
on the Treasurer on that day. This news was
cold comfort, but the chill was taken off by the
hope hsk in February they would fare better.
Naturally enough these disappointments cause
much complaining, and we speak of it more to
tell the Commissioners that they are complained
of and why than to complain ourself
We see no reason why the Board did not NO.
tify the people that thcre would be no meeting on
the second Tuesday in February, IN consequence
of urgent public duty requiring them to be on
the Fence line between Union and Spartanburg.
Such O notice would have been satisfactory and
could have been made through the Times with
out costing the County q cent, and saved many
persons much Inconvenience.

Tho Fence Law q Blessing.


A correspondent of the Columbia Register,
from Abbcville thus speaks of the adoption of
the Fence Law in that County
Farmers going regularly TO work in this
vicinity and preparing for the new oruer Of
things, brought about by the recent act of the
Legislature, which abolished the old fence law
in this county. The pastures of our most ener-
getic farmers are near completion, and the
sound Of the plowman is heard in the land.
OF course, we have chronic grumblers who
croakcd extensively about the new order of af-
fairs. Some of them delayed making pasture
fences, doubtless indulging vain hope that the
public meeting, called by some "sore-head," TO
| meet at Abbevile G. H., would adopt some
| measures TO alleviate their imagined grievances
| but the meeting-if indeed there was any-fail-
| cd 10 bring about the desired end.
So for as l have been able to ascertain, nfu-
entail men delighted with the law. They
| think it q blessing to the most skeptical.
| AS result of the law notice fertile spots
being prepared for cultivation. 1t is not o very
difficult job, as no fence is to be made to keep
out the neighbor's vagrant SOW.

Fifteen Cents for Weighing.

During last Fallw were told by many Union
Farmers who sold their Cotton at Spartanburg
that no charge was made for weighing in that
market. We don't know how those good far
mers were so awfully deceived, but there is no
doubt they were, which caused them to grum-
ble loudly at paying 10 cents bale for weigh
ing at Union.
writer in the last issue of the Spartan
now informs us that the charge for weighing in
that market has been and is now Is cents-five
cents moro than in Union. The difference is,
the fee for weighing ut Spartanburg goes into
the Golfers of the railroads and their employe ees,
while in Union it goes to support the family of
weigher, elected by the Town Council, and
subject to removal for misconduct.

Gov. Hampton's Condition.

The report was rife in this community o few
days ago that Governor Hampton had suffered q
relapse and was again dangerously sick, which
caused intense anxiety. We are happy in be-
ing able to remove the fears Of our people by
the following which we take from the Charles
ton NeWs and Courier:
THERE'S no foundation for the report that
Governor Hampton has suffered relapse, or is in
any danger. The wound he received at Gettys-
burg gives him intense pain, his nervous system
is sadly shattered, and he makes little progress
in regaining the bodily strength he sorely needs.
This we believe to be his exact condition.

A. False Report.
In the Greenville NeWs Of last Saturday W,

Deputy Collector Jillson received a telegram
yesterday from Collector Brayton, ordering him
to report Mt Spartanburg at once, stating that
a Revenue Officer had been shot near Pink
ney,s Ferry in Union County. The particulars
of the affair could not be ascertained. Mr..
Jillson left for Spartanburg last night.
We have been diligent in making enquiries of
persons living in the vicinity Of "Pnckney' s
Ferry" as to "the particulars of the affair."
and cannot find person who knows anything
about it, or ever heard of such IN occurrence
anywhere near there. No doubt there was
plenty of blockade whiskey sold in Green7ille
while the officers were off chasing phantom
murderers of Revenue officers in Union.

IA FooL-nARDY FEAT.-On the Oath utimo
one Andrew Wallace thrilled all lookers-on ut
Niagara Falls by riding his horse across the ice
bridge. Not satisfied with this, he ascended to
the summit of the ice mountain at the base of
the American FALL Slowly the horse toilcd up
the steep, slippery side Of the great ice cone,
winding round the foot-path till the summit
reached. Here, enveloped in n cloud of
mist which concealed the white cone itself, horse
and rider looked like weird apparition sus-
pended in mid-air. For some time the horse
went careering over the crest of the cone, where
one false step might have hurled both him and
his rider into the fathomless foaming gulf full
seventy feet below. Presently the daring horse
man rode slowly down the path and crossing
the ice-bridge, regained the Canadian side
Both he and his horse were drclched with
spray.

A Caustio Truth.

A Caustio Truth.
The editor of the Columbia Register, in com.
menting on Judge Mackey's order to have the
prisoners dock removed, says:
Now, it is a mawkish sentiment, pulling OBJ
lection which talks about this dock as an Of
fense. What is there in it. so far as the docl
itself is concerned, to bring shame or accusation
on any man? Many an innocent man has sat
in the dock and many scoundrel on The bench.
1t 10 not the poor dock, q thing of wood, that
can make man hold down his head in shame.
1t is the crime which brands his soul deeper
than iron in the quivering flesh. 1t is the guilt
that enters the precincts of conscience which is
sharper than the incisive knife that cuts away
the rogue's ears.

For the Times.

For the Times
The Stock Law in chester---How it Works
FRIEND SroKEs:- made flying visit to
your Town, one day last week, and was met by
number of your most excellent farmers aR
enquiring: how the "Fence-Law," worked in
Cheseer?
|. My reply was this "Those, who were most
opposed to 1t at first, areits strongest 6dvocstes
now. They would be The very first to raise their
voices against its repeal. a.
There are farmers in Chester who make more
on the land where DID, useless fences stood,
than many of your red-hot anti-fence law men
make on their whole farms. We have better
stock, and less litigation than you have. Are
not these advantages worth striving for?
The time we used to spend in making rails and
fences, we now employ in making fertilizers
and improving our lands, Another advantage
in favor of the fence-law system, or in other
words the no fence system, is:
The Freedmen are we'll pleased with it, for it
is they who build the fences. They now only
build pasture fences, and pasture their Stock
without paying cent for pasturage!'
My advice to your anti-fence-law people is
this: Go to work and try the system before you
condemn it give it fair trial, and if you are
not advocates Of the system in less than two
years, then you may t0rite to me and soy that
have told falsehood
There IS not q man in Chester County, with
an ounce of intelligence, that would have the Old
system back again, for any consideration. Now
Mr.. Editor, these facts 60 much farther to con-
vince than the most elaborate argument.
Respectfully,
w. G.. AUSTIN.

fatally, injured by the accidental discharge of q
shotgun in the hands of Robert Tarrant, a son
Triil Justice Tarrant. The entire load entered

wounding him so badly that he may not recover
at all. Young McLees is about fourteen years
old and quite a promising lad. His misfortune
is one Of especial hardship.
