Charleston Ne,cs. Early yesterday
morning the conductor on the night train
from Augusta OH tie South Carolina
Railroad was startled when near Gra-
hams by hearing the not unfamiliar
sounds Of an infant wailing proceeding
from the interior of large new market
basket that had been quietly resting
upon one of the seats in the passenger
coach for hours. An investigation re-
vealed the presence of a bouncing white
boy baby, adjudged by competent per-
sons to be about the age of three weeks.
There was no owner for this luggage to
be found, and it was brought to the city
and temporarily given in charge of a
stewardess. The youngster was we'll
dressed, and had with him the following
letter of recommendation: "This child
is of honest birth. Deal gently with him
as you hope for mercy. He has baen
christened Arthur King. Continue so 10
call him." The note was written upon
slip of ordinary foolscap paper, and was
evidently the work of an educated person.
1t is not known at what point the basket
was put on the cars.

dred and sixteen tax receipts. His total
collections of State and county taxes
amounted to S1,64911 and for the Sa-
vannah Valley Railroad $255. Col.
j. Z. Calhoun, whose premises were
sometime since raided by the revenue
officers, has succeeded in efecting COM
promise with the Government. Upon
the payment of the ordinary license of
ninety cents on the gallon and the costs

agreed to return the contraband liquor to

four, the old ones escaping. He now has
the young panthers on exhibition......Mr.
G. L. Reid harvested from his storehouse
lot, on the 9TH instant, 1852 pounds of
red clover. The lot contains one.third
of an acre. 1t is not longer a question
whether clover can be grown in this
County. On the contrary, a gentleman
from a clover country, who saw this
patch, stated he believed it was better
than generally grown there. Major
Dendy has a fine patch in his Office lot,
nearly ready to cut. These patches can
be cut once or twice more this year with
good seasons.
