The Committee regret that, from th? want of practical experience, they ?re unable lu preaen t sieh a report oo tba .abjeet as they believe it? importance demanda. Io tfite oouuty, bee raising baa ooC heretofore boen engaged in to any great extent, or with a view to it, as a source of profit, further tban a means of furnishing a eoppty of honey for homo consumption, and consequent? ly little or no progress has been made, either in the mode of tn?naging, or in the knowledge ol the characteristics and habits of tho "busy little worker." We all have beeo content to wslk in "tilo old beaten track," aud about all the attention that wo have given, is to put tho boes into a box, aud when it becomes full of comb, consign its in? mates to a pit of fire and brimstone and muko use ot their hard earned stores. This being tho ouse, it is small won? der that there hits been such little sue oess achieved that many persons consid? er tho raising of honey rather a tmall afluir. In this, as in any other pursuit, intelligence, study, and close attention ?re absolutely oocessary to ensure sao cess, but tho Committee arc clearly of opinion that, with these requisites, bee culture can bc made to yiold as large und perhaps a larger interest on the capitul employed, thun almost any oth? er pursuit. Tho following arc some ex? amples of its profits, tuken from a work on bee keeping, by D. L. Adair, of Han? cock Co., Ky. ??Mrs. E. S. Tupper, of Iowa, reports a stock of Italian boes tliut stored ono hundred aud fifty six pounds o? hon Cy?A. W. Ford, of Middleville, N. Y., from one hundred and thirty stocks, received six thousand pounds surplus houcy io boxes, and one huudrcd und seventy new swarms." ? "Charles Baumcl, of De Witt, Iowa, commenced with one stock, which swarmed twice. The first swarm stored ninety pounds box ho/iey, while thc second swarm filled its hive, and stored thirty pounds." "J. M. M., St Ciiarles, TH., writes: [ have taken from three swarms of bees seventy five pounds of houey each. From u stook of Italians, two hundred pounds were tuken ; nnd seventy-five pounds each were taken from two stocks that swarmed out last spriug for thc want of tood." Those results, though obtained at the North, show conclusively that honey raising is profitable, when properly managed ; and we believe, that all that is necessary to secura like results at the South, is tho same caro of, and at? tention to tho bees. lu other States it is necessary to cultivate the flowers, from which the bees may extract honey, while we of thc South have the advan? tage of vast extent of forests, which abound wi'h flowers throughout the greater portion of the year, thus saving tho necessity of cultivating tho flowers, besides^giving thc bees a much lunger time in which to work. The first thing to bc dono, in the way of improvements, is to do away with jur old fashioned log and box hives; ind obtain*those improvements which tro in use in other parts of the country; ind when we havo these improved hives, vc must learn tho " habits, wants, ind dangers of the bees, so that we cnn ltd them when necessary, both in laying ip their stores, and iii successfully con ending with those enemies which oth irwise may destroy them. There is a variety of bees culled Ifa isns, which arc highly recommended, s being more industrious, less apt to ting, and as being, in every way, mueh icttcr than the common black bee ; but he committee, not yet having obtained hem, cannot speak 0/ them from their wu knowledge, but would recommend ll keepers of bees to obtain, and give Item a fair trial. The committee would not bc nndcr tood ns recommending bee culture as a nrsuit to which thc whole of any one's me and attention should bo given, but nly ns one to which spare time from I her callings, may, not only pleasantly, ut profitably bo devoted ; and which iay bc made to fill many a corner of ir pockets, which, otherwise, would .main a painful vncuum. We believe mt our chief business herc nt the 011th, is cultivating the soil, manufuo tring our products, and their kindred iirsuirs ; and that these smaller indus ?es, ns they arc sometimes called, thouhl ? attended to in what nre culled idd moments," which oro 'generally tent in idloness.

OF LABORSAVING AGRI* CDLTDBAL 1RIPI.B9IBNT8. Quite an interesting exhibition of labor-saving plow?, or cultivators, took placo at the farm of Rev. E. A. ED WART'S, io the suburbs of the town, OD Saturday last. Thc farmers and planters of Sumter County were present, in very considera? ble number, and embracing tho best citizens of the county. A general fcel iug of interest was manifested, and the trial of the ituplemonts present, did more, perhaps, to demonstrate sutis factorally the practicability and impor tance to our agricultural community, of applying to our soil tho improvements of the day, than anything which has yet transpired in our midst. Many saw and realized the fact (hat wu were far behind in this*respect. Col. JOHN B. MOORS and tho Messrs. FI.UDD, exhibited a plow of great pow? er, for turning over the soil, in' prepara? tion for planting, known as "Black's Patent Sulky Plow," and manufactured by Mr. W. S. IIENEREY, of Charleston. It was first tested with six mules attach? ed, with one driver, in tho scat which surmounts the carriage, and a rider upon ono of the lead animals. Thoy moved ulong with grertt facility, pulling two large plows (which are attached to drag beams in rear) through the earth, at ? ?depth of ten or twelve inches, and turn? ing over and thoroughly breaking up about twenty-eight inches in width as it passed along. Trial of it with four mules was then made, with a Uko result, and this was thought to bo ample horse? power for all light or sandy soils-the six animals being necessary only in close day lands. It was also tested with iwo mules, one of the plows being de? tached, the result being satisfactory. This plow is run on wheels, oatt bo made by the manufacturer for two, four or six animals, and, in lands where there are no stumps, is no doubt of great vu!ue in turning over sod or other lauds* in wintt r. These gentlemen also exhibited a one horse cultivator, known as "Excelsior No. 2," manufactured by Messrs. Ford & Howe, atOncota, N. Y. This sremed tn elicit almost uuivcisal approbation. This implement runs three plows, and in cultivating cotton or corn, is estima? ted to accomplish fully the work of two? and-a-hulf plows of thc ordinary con? struction. The animal is attached in shafts, pulling by a whipple tree, and moving along with much ease, plowing jut effectually an ordiuary corn row, by passing through it twice. The plows ire arranged two in front and one in he rear, with a small wheel situated in :hc centre, by which tbe depth to bc run is regulated, the rear plow covering 1 he two leaders or breaking out tho i ?paco left by them. It is believed that ( his implement with some change of thc i iocs attached will become of great i itiiity in this section. An agency for * his cultivator will likely be established it Sumter,of which our planting friends I viii bc advised in these columns. Ie i s sufficiently cheap to place it within : he reach of our farmers of ordinary < neans. j Kev. IO. A. EDWARDS exhibited thc 'Buckeye Sulky Plow," which is drawn i ty two animals, and a cultivator used l villi so much success in the western ?tates. It is a great labor saver, and . iropcrly handled, would accomplish \ iiucli for our sect inn. Mr. JOHN S. RICHARDSON exhibited I ono horse cultivator, which carries I cvcral plows, adjusted toa carriage so I oust fueled that the whole machine sits lorizontally upon tho ground, and moves 1 long, harrow-like, upon au even plano. lr. Richardson used this implement 11 rith some success in his crop last year, I ut as a cultivttor of like grade, regarde c ho "Excelsior No 2" as of greater util- ? fy. '1 Mr. B. F. WILSON, of Salem, exhibit d a ono horse "sweep," of his own ? onstruction, somewhat ofter the form of j fl he "Dixon swoop," whioh is no doubt a I eoided improvemont in later plow-j a ig, for cleaning out thc orop, after tho ' T ind hos been broken up. o Mr. JOHNS.

Indigestion not only affects tho physical health but tho dispositions and tempera of its victims. Tho dyspeptic becomes, too, in s measure de? moralized by his sufferings.

A preternatural sensitiveness which bo cannot control, leads him to miscon? strue tho words ond ucts of those around bim, nnd bis intercourse even with those nearest and dcore8t to him is not unfrcquently marked by exhibitions of testiness foreign to his real nature. These aro tho mental phenomena of the disease, fur which tho invalid cannot bo justly held re? sponsible, but they occasion much household dis comfort. It is to the interest of the home cir ole, it \s essential to family harmony as well as to tho rescue of the principal sufferer from a state not fur removed from incipient insanity, that theso symptoms of montai disturbance bo promptly removed.
