OUR CLUB LISTS.

year 1854 are making satisfactory progress,
and we are ableto report that the paper now
has as satisfactory a circulation as in any
year of it's existence. Those who contem-
plate availing themselves of the benefit of
club rates are reminded that the time IN
which they can do so will expire at y
o'clock NJ. on Monday, March 3rd, after

DISEASED CATTLE.
We learn that there is a disease of a pecu-
liar kind among cattle in various parts of
the county, in some instances proving fatal.
We have heard no name Of the disease,
though it seems to affect the spine. a gen.
tleman OF experience gives as remedy and
also preventive Of the disease, spirits tur-
pentine. He says teaspoonful given once
a week for two or three weeks will act as
preventive, while it may be given benefi-
cially to cattle affected with the disease.
u. s. CIRCUIT COURT JURORS.
Of the jurors drawn to serve at the April
term of the United States Circuit Court,
which will be held in Charleston, the fol-
lowing reside in York county:
Grand Jurors-Felix H. Dover, Whita-
ker's; J. Henderson, Yorkville. Inquiry
fails to reveal the name of 81. Henderson"
in this locality, and the supposition is that
the name is either misprint, or it's owner
colored man, unknown to fame.
Petit Jurors-James a. Ratchford and B.
F.. Briggs, Yorkville. .-.-
1t is probable that the political cases will
come up again for trial at the April term.
APPLETON's STANDARD GEOGRAPHY.
We have received from Mr.. j. Van Holt
Nash, Atlanta, Ga, Southern manager ID.
Appleton & Co., copy Of Appleton's High
er Geography, South Carolina edition, of
the standard" series published by the Ap-
pletons. The special feature of this edition
is that it contains several pages devoted to
South Carolina, thus rendering it particular
ly valuable to the people of our State. AS
Il school room text book it has the endorse
ment of hundreds of teachers in this State,
and, like all the school books issued by the
Appletons, we doubt not it will become de-
popular upon general introduction.
U. s.COURT AT GREENVILLE.
The special February term of the United
States District Court at Greenville conven-
ed last Monday. Mr.. David L. Black, of
this place, a juror, left last Saturday night,

and Dick Shurley, colored, charged with
robbing the U. S. Mail between Lancaster

bound over for trial. There are quite a
number of important cases to be tried at
this term, and full docket will probably
prolong the session into March.
THE TIN DISCOVERY.
The ediscovery of tin GREAT Kings Mountain
Station has caused genuine excitement in
that town. DR.. n. J.> Walker, who lives
there, sent us on Tuesday last some speci-
mems of this ore, which can be seen in this
office. The story of the discovery of tin ore
at Kings Mountain is told in a few words.
Among some mineral specimens sent from
that place to the Boston Exposition last
year, were some black, heavy Jumps of min
eral marked "unknown." \ Boston min
eralogist took the specimens, and on assaying
them pronounced them to be tin ore. This,
in due time, led to prospecting, and DIR.
Walker writes us that a company is now
sinking shaft on Capt Bells lot, and the
indications are very favorable. The ore is
plentiful on the surface, and the specimen
sent US will Gnalyze 75per cent. of tin.
