ANOTHER RAILRoAD.-The Beau
fort correspondent of the Augusta
Chronicle says: Beaufort is soon to
have another railroad. One hundred
and fifty hands are now at work grad
ing the Green Pond, Waltecboro and
Branchville road, and as soon as the
surveyors get the road located to
Branchville they will return to Green
Pond and survey and locate the road to
Beaufort. The road will cross from
the main land to the island at Port
Royal ferry, thence to Beaufort-ten
miles," This is news to us, and we
think it is news to our Branchyille
friends.

ALL CAsu.-Mr. S. R. Mellichamp,
our School Commissioner, announces
that the school claims Of this county in
future will be paid as soon as due.
This announcement will be welcome

AN EXCITING RACE.-Last Monday
Chief of Police Perryclear carried Ben
Jones alias Tom johnson, a colored
chicken thief of considerable celebrity,
before Trial Justice 1. ". Bowman. on
the charge of carrying concealed
weapons. While Mr. Bowman was
examining the witnesses, Johnson
went to the door of the office on the
pretence of splitting, when he dashed
out and ran up the street as fast as he
could go. He was closely pursued by
the Chief and some colored men, who
finally succeeded in running him down.
On his return the reason he gave for his
attempted escape was that he could
not stand and listen to such lies as the
witnesses were swearing to against
aim. He was committed for trial.

comes from a Jewish vineyard. Often
this wine is brought from jerusalem.
For seven days after the first. day otthe

ANN1vERsARY MEETING.-The
seventh anniversary meeting Of the
Woman's Missionary Society OF St..
Paul's Methodist Church was held at
that church last Sunday evening. Des-
pite the threatening aspect Of the
weather a good congregation was pre-
sent. The reports of the Secretary and
Treasurer, which were read by the Rev.
J.E. Carlisle, showed the Society to be
in a most tlourishing condition. After
q recitation by Miss Hattie Wanna
maker, a member Of the Wightman
Palmetto Leaves, a Juvenile mission
ury society connected with the church,
The Rev. w. ID. Kirkland was intD-
duced as the speaker OF the evening,
and delivered most mastery address
on the Importance of mission woik
generally, and woman's missionary
work particularly. The address was full
of encouragement to the women Of the
church to perscvere in the grand work
of sending the Gospel to the benighted
lands of heathenisln, and was listened
to with rapt attention by the audience.
Mr.. Kirkland is forcible and eloquent
speaker, and those who heard his
address last Sunday night were well
entertained. The exercises were patti
cipated in by the Rev. Edwin Muller,
Pastor of the Presbyterian Church
who occupied a seat in the pulpit.

HE CURED THEM.-A St. Louis
County, Missouri, man gives his eX-
perience with the so-called hog cholera,
as follows: "My hogs became infected
through a boar [ borrowed from a
neighbor. He sickened, died and was
buried. Then one after the other OF
my sows. shotes and pigs took sick, and
not knowing what to do, [ consulted
my old doctor. He advised me to dig
up some may-apple roots, pokeberry
and mullen roots, clean them, chop
them up put them in a large kettle
with plenty of water, and boil them for
several hours. l gave the hogs moth
ing to eat for half day, and then gave
them about pint Of the decoction in a
pail of warm slops with little bran. l
repeated this three times a day for a
week or longer, gradually adding more
bran to slops. All recovered but one
which could not be induced to drink the
slops. My neighbor, Of whom I had
borrowed the boar, lost DO head, and
another who took shote home from
my farm where it had struggled and
mixed with my hogs, lost over 20 head.
Neither of them tried my remedy. l
have not had a case Of cholera on my
place since. This remedy is so simple
and has proved so effective in my case
that I hope you will give it to your
readers that OF hers may try it, and if
it should prove itself to be u remedy
against that fearful scourge, hog
cholera, it should be made known
through the whole country.

poohed by the robust and healthy. / only
add that | adhere to it, that / have the
courage OF my convictions, and further
more, that have invalids and dyspeptics
and those with delicate digestions in my
thoughts as l write.
l grant you. my healthful athlete, who
can tramp over the moors with gun and
bag from morning dawn till dewy eve, and
never feel tired, that the eating of long
kept game may not seem to injure you,
but the bare fact that piquant sauces and
sGmulaDts are needed 10 aid its digestion
IS exceedingly suspicious. There are two
animals in particular that like their food
high and tender; one is the crocodile, the
other our friend the dog; both have won
derfully strong digestive powers little in
ferior, in point of fact, TO that of the
ostrich. about which bird so many fanciful
stories have been written and told.
1t may be said, without much fear of
contradiction, that any kind of food or any
mixed diet or meal which requires the aid
of stimulant, either Of the nature Of c0noi-
ment or wines, is not saluiary. Such diet
as this is a tax upon the whole system, and
causes heat and discomfort, and feverish
state Of the blood. which can only end in
debility of the nervous system and more or
less of prostration.
But those who would obtain the greatest
amount of health and comfort from the
food they eat must be most careful in its
selection. Leaving idiosyncracy out of
count for the present, although every
one ought TO know what agrees with
him and what does not, there are many
things connected with the value and d.
gestibility Of food obtained from various
sources that do well to remind the reader

OF all that is lost; comes now and again
A faT-eff voice from the blGding grain;
Calling still calling the sOngster to come
Backbone more back-to its woodland home.

On the swinging bough into blossom sInit.

ing With railroad soon to be completed
across the north end Of this valley, and one
liable TO be built from Truckee or Cisco
into this end of the valley on its way to
Sierra City, gives us bright outlook for
easy transportation. The fruit trees com
ing in here is alse indicative OF prosperity.
The rich mines developing between here
and Sierra City is also favorable TO us, as
the hay, grain, butter, beef and vegetables
consumed by those miners and the teams
employed give US a market. The new
talked of railroad will run through a fine
belt Of timber which, in the near future,
viii be valuable and required for the lum-
Der markets both east, west and south of
us. Our artesian wells are of great value,
and viii be more and more appreciated
each year, when orchards and gardens are
planted around them. The Government
land heretofore thought to be valueless is
being rapidly located, and there are some
left, and open for settlement. This valley
offers as lucrative a field for immigrants as
any other in bhe State. If we could swap
