Greeleyville, April 2.-MR EDITOR;
The time has passed in which it might
have been proper for this correspcn-
dent to speak of rain, freezes, and
billiards.. Winter no longer fingers
in the lap OF spring, but spring has
bounded with joyful leap from the
bosom OF winter The warm air and
bright sunshine, the budding OF
leaves and singing of birds, suggest
tie thought that the almanac maker
has made mistake, and that March
the 3Oth was the real ';o$ter' day in
stead of the sorrowful "Good Friday.
To these reviving influences was add
ed, in this household, the cheering
presence Of a valued friend and form
er pastor, Rev H. II. Mood. On the
afternoon of Easter Sunday lie preach
ed highly interesting and Instruct
i've sermon on the subject Of the fall.
repentance, aud restoration of the
Apostle Peter, closing with an earnest
eShortation to Christian love, based
on the Saviour's question to Peter
Lowest thou me?" T lie preacher was
assisted in the opening anti closing,
services by Rev. ". Il. Workman fthe
Presbyterian, and Rev. VIM. Carson
of the Methodist church, both resi-
ing in this vicinity. The latter IS an
aged minister, though possessing a
good share CT bodily health aaa men
tai vigor.
On and near the Santee River road
between The Clarendon line and Muir
rays Ferry there are four churches:
ST. Marks and New Market, Arnirian
1tinerant Episcopal /; Richmond, Cal
whistle Presbyterian +; and Mount
Hope, Cal7inistic Independent Con-
cregational: all Christian all Bap-
list; the last ITe Eapt;$t. All dwell
ing together in Christian peace and
harmony. The pastors of the Baptist
and Methodist churches Go not reside
with their Aocks here, but preach to
them regularly, and visit them other
wise occasionally.

New Z1oS, April 7.-Mr. Editor:
I will again come III, and give your
readers the news of this section,
though thought some one would
have been kind enough to keep you
posted from this place during my
long absence. There is, however, but
little news in circulation this week,
and have been SO very busy haven't
even gathered what there is aAoat.
Our farmers are a little behind with
their work in consequence Of the ex-
tended wet weather, though they are
pushing ahead with their work, and
with a few more sunshiny days will
be all right again. There has been
considerable corn planted this week
and some cotton. DR.. I. NJ. Woods.
I understand, has planted some cot
ton. The DR.. is one of our vide
awake farmers, and makes fine crops.
Gardens are receiving their proper at
tention though are very back
ward. Mrs. C. B. Baker takes the
lead in gardens. Mrs. Baker planted
early, and her garden looks fine; it's
certainly the best il the neigh
borhood.
She did not plant on the hct bed, and
yet the cold weather did not injure
the prospect any.
More orange blossoms in Salem.

FoREsToS, April Mn. EDITOR:
You ought to move the TINES Office
to Foreston; then, if you would
make it a free paper, we would make
it lively for you, and keep it 5rimful
all the time. Things are now at fe-
verheat between those two fellows
that have been writing such hard
things about each other. They have
got their Irish up for true. | hear
one of them went to Manning yester-
day and got left. It makes me think
OF two ours growing while some one
else is sic-a-boy ing, and trying to
get them to fight, thinking it will be
fine fun, but they themselves (the
sickers- on will be sure to keep at a
safe distance. Ifthese two belligerents
were left alone they would soon,
like the Kilkenny cats, swallow each
other, and don't know that the COM
murity would miss either, or sustain
any great loss. The world would
keep moving just the same, chickens
Matching, dogs barking, and the COWS
coming home to be MIXED. POP.

A few days ago a friend of ours
who some times keeps company with
a Texas pony, gave the following de-
scription of bis experience. A friend
of his being present who expressed a
desire to ride Texas, our friend pro
ceeded to equip Texas, and to show
his friend how kind and gentle this
Texas was. He must mount first,
which be quickly assayed to DO; but
lust as he had mounted and got him
self erect, he found himself flying
through space at a fearful rate OF
speed. Though his fight was short
it was far. He says he cane down
on his head, which sank down deeply
into the newly plowed ground. Al:
ter considerable effort he got his head
out of the hole and with both hands
proceeded to tear the sand out of his
ewes, which he accomplished in very
limited space of time, being very de;
sirous Of seeing what Texas Would
next do. He found Texas at that
time about four feet above the ground
when in a twinkle he alighted OF
terra irma. He asked lis friend how
many jumps Texas had made since he
dismounted, only one was the answer
Texas had taken all that time to gel
back TO Carolina soil.
He says he would not tell his eSpe
rience, but that there we're three othe'
persons present and that they will b.
sure to relate the incident but will b
equally sure not to relate that each o
them passed through the same expe
rience in the next half hour. J.
