KILL Your SHEEP YoUNG.-Thcre are
few animals kept on the farm which. when
they are in their prime, pay as well as sheep,
and there are very few, if any others, upon
whom old age has such damaging effect
AS the sheep is much shorter lived than
any other Of our domestic animals, il is not
strange that many farmers attempt to keep
them too long. At ten years of age the
horse is just in his prime, aud the COW is
as good as ever, with the prospect of remain.
ing so several years longer. But the sheep is
very old when it reaches the age of ten,
the natural limit of the term Of its Iito.-
After reaching this ago sheep are very
likely to be injured by the slight exposures
which do younger animals no harm. They
are more liable to be attacked by disease,
and if they live they will be likely to pro.
duce less wool and smaller lambs than they
have done previously. We do not think it
pays, except perhaps in special instances,
to keep sheep after they are six years old.

Opl MON OF A CHURcH-The Reformed
Presbyterian Synod of America, now in
session in Philadelphia, makes the following
utterances officially: "Nevcr was infidelity
more bold or blatant. Newspapers are
published professcdly in the cause of inf.
deity. New books are written and old
books reprinted, and lecturers GO FROM city
to city and town to town in tho interests of
the same unholy cause. And when an in
fidel lecturer of note appears in any of our
cities, large audiences, paying hi gh prices
for admission, crowd the halls and hail with
applause the most profane and blasphemous
utterances of the speaker. Closely allied
with iufdclity, and manifesting itself with
no less boldncss in this nation and those of
Europe, is Communism. Here it declares
war against capital aud seeks to put fetters
upon labor. Especially on the Pacific coast
has it been most rampant; and so loudly has
it clamored, The Chinese must 60 y that
q candidate for the Chief Magistracy of
this nation has taken up the cry and echoed
it within the walls of the capitol" The
Synod advise fasting and prayer to counter
act these adverse Influences

There are few planters in South Carolina
who have not been told Of the finest cotton
lands in the world-the swamp lands on
both sides of the Mississippi River below
Memphis. AT the breaking out of the war
the cleared lands of that section Welded. on
"Svucruf uvur"so, coo Pouudsof ffuu votsuu
to the acre, and the planter, in summing up
the yield of his plantation, always spoke
OF making from eight to ten bales to the
hand, and he who did not manage to gather
at least eight bales to the hand was regarde d
as poor planter and unsuited to the occu.
patton Of planting. At tho annual mecting
of the Mississippi Valley Cotton Planters
Association, held at Vicksburg week or
SO ago, General Moorchead, the President
of the Association, himself planter in the
once rich and fertile County Of Washington,
stated that '.the present average yield does
not e'cceed three hundred pounds, and prob
ady t'oo hundred and .ffiy, or even tuo
hundred pounds, aoould better represent it,"
These lands which once grew cotton ten feet
high and which were supposed to be mex.
haustible, it will be seen from Gen. More.
heads statement, have detcriorated three.
fourths in twenty years. 10 the loose
method Of planting, the dsorganized labor
system, "slnce freedom come out" and the
neglect of the planter to feed his lands,
taking all off and putting nothing back, can
this state OF affairs be traceable. What n
commentary this is upon the method of
farming in the Old World. Lands there
that have been under cultivation for thou
sand years are to-day, many of them, more
productive than when the ploughs first
turned up the virgin soil There is les
son in all this Tor the South Carolina planter
and farmer who is year after year burning

This contribution will probably puzzle
the Hon. Geo. L. Dawson somewhat The
Northern voter or orator requires good, sol,
id currency, of a live issue, in return for
his services on living issues, and this ghost
of dead one will secure neither ballots nor
voices. He cannot dismiss the remitting
official, because he is a remitting official, ard
therefore, within the pale of Republican
party law. Under the memorable rule laid
down as the foundation of the principles and
power of that party, there is to be no going
behind the face Of the return, and the post
master has certainly returned what is $40
on its face. And yet the face of this re-
turn, unlike former ones from this and 9TH
or States, cannot be utilized. So the Hon
Geo y. Dawson is In a quondary, and the
question now arises, what does he propose
to do bout it p GreenuHle Ne,os.

SAMsssAoE AND AN AsswsR.--Some
days ago, gentleman who occupies tho po.
sltion OF Postmaster at certain station
which shall be namelcss, received circular
signed "Geo. +. Dawson" dated at Wash
ington, requesting him to make a 'voluu-
tary' contribution for the benefit of the
campaign fund Of the great party of moral
ideas. The document earnestly besought
the Postmaster's assistance in elcrting Gar
held and Arthur who seem to have, settled

Principles and interest" (probably mis-.
print for principal and interest, or possibly
a pun) of the party supplicated to, required
the continuance of the Republican party in
power, and that money was necessary to ac-
complish that end aud contained an init
nation that that commodity was at present
subject to "scarceness"
The Postmaster cogitated over this evil
dence of civil service reform in process of
practical operation; and proceeded to remit
