[T The heaviest frost of tbe season made its appearyico last Sunday morning. 8 It is now time for our farmers to be e putting in their early wheat and winter oa's. Countless thousands of wild pigeons arc now to be found in the mountains 3 above Greenville. * ?Our farmers are saving and storing away c more hay this year than they have for * many years past. ^ The rumor that a radical pow-wow ^ was to have been held here last Monday proven 10 ne uuiruc. Wild geese have made their appear|. ance on our river. Their presence inn dicates that cold weather will soon be i? upon us. d A bachelor friend of ours, who is not 5. old, however, has a frame erected over it his bed to keep the plastering from d falling en him. s We understand that one of our young 0 farmers on the western side of Wateree r river will market about 7,000 bushels of rice this season, sj He is a peanut vender, poor and i- blind, and his cry is: "Oh, yes, now is t the time to come and buy the genuine e patent double-jointed, humpbacked ;, North Carolina pinders " e That young man must have been very apprehensive of ague, when he rose B * % _i / ?n ' up in his sleep ana saia : "10513 wm e be a chill in the houso before two f days."

Conspicuous in the assemblage were the blue shirts of the Oak. land Guards. The meeting was organized by the election of Capt, B. T. McGoy as chairman, after which short addresses were delivered by Mr. Joel Hough, oandidate for school commissioner, ana Messrs. J. F. Arthur and J. D.'Shaw, in the order named. Mr. I W. D.

Hall for declining the Radical nomination for Senator, ho-took up the balance of the ticket in rotation, and read their political obituaries. He spoke in praise of Isaac English, one of the Radical nominees for the Houso of Representatives, because of the stand he took in the Radical convention for Messrs. McCaskill and Bnrdell, and said that he regretted that Isaac was not present, because, he thought he could make a Democrat out of him. After reviewing the character of the Democratic ticket, Mr. Trantbam closed with general remarks on the issues of the day. After Mr. Trantbam had closed, an invitation was extended to the colored people present to speak. Charles Green got up and said he desired to make a few remarks. He said he had never been connected with the Democratic party before, but he wanted to make the public annouuccment now that hereafter he was going to vote the Democratic ticket, believing that party to be the one of honesty and good government in this State., After this Messrs. L. B. Stephenson and Allen McCaskill, who were present, were called upon. Both of these gentlemen responded to the call ib brief "practical talks. Great regret was expressed that '-'Little Bill" Nelson, of "Little Edgefield" was not present. The boys said they wanted to shake hands with bim and hear him make a few remarks. At about 3 oclock tbe meeting adjonroed, and we proceeded on our way back to Camden. Democratic Appointments. Camden, S. C., Oct. 16th, 1878.

"The hickory buds are swelling and jack fish will bite now," is what the school boys used to say, ever so long ago, and when the spring conies around wo never see the varnished capsules but we remember those days when to go a-fishing on our Saturday holiday wap an ever new delight. The cool, clear sand-hill waters, covevered with lily pads and bonnet*, hiding in their mysterious depths the biggest trout, the fiercest jack, and the infinite tribe of maumouth and perch, fiyer and bream, what a revel it waa 1 and one that every Southern boy has drunk of until his being was full of it?that juk:i-.? motor north, air and skv.

THE CULTURE OP PISH IN PONDS. Some twenty-five years ago we were so situated as to control a bold, flush stream of water, divertiog it a quarter of a mile off, at an elevation and bringing it down to a lower level, and so formed a pond, with a jet of some one hundred gallons to the minnte, rising in the centre to the height of eighteen feet, falling with a splash that was pleasant to listen to, and could ba heard on a still night a ? ' 1 - ? mile off. Tbis pond, in places eignt. feet deep, we stocked with fish?bream and red belly percb?(that grow as large as bream)?from the river, and oar trout from the large pond nearly. The pond was soon alivo with fry from all these, and to-day the fine old factory pood, into which the outlet from this fish pond found its way, is stocked with the largest bream, though none were in it before. We soon discovered that the trout, were too much for the smaller 69b, and, having an abucdant supply of water, made another pond into which the trout wore put. There were some very large ones?weighing five, sir, eight and ten pounds?but it would not do. Predacious fish, in close ivitei's will not pay. They were objects of great interest, and these large fish, as oaw the shadow of one approachsing, would force themsetvefr^rnTfiSt the bauk, showing their back fins out of the water, and take pieces of meat from the hand, but any fish uuder a foot long was cither eaten up, or bit or worried to J T*. niAa a ((ITillfaniio Rival. I Incniu. 11 wtU3 a i\naci*mJ uuui nese; the trout eat up first tSe small fish aod then one another. The war and its consequences, interfering, nothing was done; but attention has been turned once again to the subject, and some?of us in this vicinity propose to go regilarlj into the rearing of fish io ponds. Wc find that the carp, so famous as a cultivated fish all over Europe, belongs to the cyflrinidae or sunker tribe, and. is a vegetable feeder.?; Here is a key to the whole question' \ Prof. Spencer Baird, U. S. Fish Opmmissionerrhas introduced the carp from Germany, and expects to be able to deliver them in the fall, and though his number will be limited, has promised us a showing. He ?ays of the carp: "The advantage or this species consists io its being a vegetable feeder, living upon aquatic plants, and feeding voraciously upon lettuce, cabbage leaves, thread. <fec" It has also been domes ticated for many years, and is to other fish what poultry is to birds. It iB also a semi-domestic fish, and more susceptible of being crowded into limited waters than any other species known to fish culturists, and does well in a warm climate. He also says, in speaking of onr trout, "I am very familiar with what you call trout, and agree with you as to its great voracity and unfitness for cultivation as a matter of economy. It is one of the black bass, so abundant in the Mississippi valley and the Potomac. During a recent visit to Florida and South Carolina I saw a number of tbem." Independent of the imported, we have several fine fish, its congeners, (of the order cyprinidae) of our own which we know would do well in ponds. In Louisiana we found two varieties of the buffalo?one very large?grows to the weight of thirty to fifty pounds, and even larger, and a smaller variety runI ninir OQ tiirrVi no bit fn nicrtlf. nmind.b "" ft** ~ D"~ I ? called by the Creoles gasper gou?both vegetable feeders; aud it is wonderful the number of these that are packed away in a Louisiana bayou. In slug" glish, muddy water thev are not so good, but when taken in a clear, strong tide way, weighing from five to ten pounds, they are a very desirable table fish. During the rainy season the bayous fill up and overflow the prairies. On the western bank of tin beautiful Twhe bayou countless numbers of these fish make their way, feeding over tho flooded country hkd flocks of sheep; when the waters are subsiding the Creoles or Acadiaos? all capital hunters and fishermen?lay bosh weirs across the sluices that make out into the prairies, and so stop tho fish. They then, with carts and wagons, ? ? ? ? ?? !>? nJ?i1 uniting KUtuer ua uiuujr ao WUCJ UWW^ them down for winter use. We were surprised a year ago to hear from a friend who was fishing a drop net in the Wateree river, that he^hought ho was taking the buffalo, weighing five and six pounds. He had seen them in Arkansas; he sent us the next he caught, as we were familiar with this fish, and there it was, undoubtedly a buffalo, weighing some five pounds; and in clear, strong running water, a firm, sweet, most desirable table fish. We ard making arrangements to get spawns ers and melters for this season. The fish we take is probably the smaller variety of the buffalo, the pasper gou, if there i6 a difference between them in anything but size. Halleck, in , his Sportsman's Guide, describes the , gasper gou, or buffalo : "Weight from , one to eight pounds; general conforuia- 1 tion of the perch family, with a sucker mouth; color, bright siliery white, with 1 a sheen of purple; found in Louisiana < nnd Mississippi." He ?describea the fioK AI%A ftf fVsA 11 r rroQf oF 1 laigci usu, uuuaiV) uup u. ?..w ?. _. tlie sucker tribe, fouird iD the Ohio nod | Western rivers as an excellent food fish; ] as wo said before, we tbink tbey may be one. : There is a large sucker fish, found in the falls of onr rivers in the month ] of May, commonly known as carp, from ( some real'or fancied resemblance to the , imported fish. Those familiar with its { habits, say it is only found when it is , spawning, but are then taken in great * numbers in the shoals of the Wateree river by gigging or in seines. They * weigh from five to eight pounds, and are very fat, and a good eating fish. ^ This is the fish, we sappoie, described t 1 ri it i 'nm 11? _ .1 t Dy uaiiacK, page obi, calling u in? common carp, and claims Co be propagated (which we doubt) from fish brought from Europe at an early date. In Virginia, he says, they are highly esteemed for food, and during their run, constistute for many persons their entire supply of fresh fish. They are very abundant in the Matt&poni and Pamunky rivers. They come up the rivers -early in January. After spawning, most of ( them return io salt water, They thrive well in ponds, and are not destructive to the spawn of other fish; they are vegetable feeders. We are all familiar with our river red horse; that also be- ^ longs to this family. We have seen it taken from the Wateree weighing ten and twelve pounds, and remember when r a collegian, the quantities taken^in the fall traps at Columbia; some of tbexe 1 were, we expect, the above described t fish, called carp. They were always * considered a good table fish. As a ] general rule, river fish placed in ponds c or lakes grow larger than in running j water. Any one controlling a small stream, can make a pond of an acre or nan an acre, with a depth of six or eight feet, jhallowing to two feet. Such & pond c so arranged as to draw off or to be swept r with a net, to get rid of tho predacious i fish, (jack and pike and mawmouth? 4 the last as bad as either of tho other J two) stocked with any of these vari-s e tics of the cyprinidae, or suckers, woll a fed on vegetables, meal or bread, will r supply the owner with more fish than a his family can consume, and with less * trouble and expense than raising pool 0 try. We remember in the mountains i back of Greenville, among the beautiful t headwaters of the Saluda, about Ma- e rietta, the almost entire absence of T large fish, a few shiners and small suckthough we never saw any of theso last Yet how easy in all that country to t make ponds, and stock them with any J of these fish, the clearness of the water, a and the rockj sides and bottoms, with the swiftness of tho current, preventing c thoso vegetable growths and deposits, i, and consequent animal life upon which J the fish would feed and fatten, must be <1 the only cause of the abseuce. of fish of * available size. i All through the middle country we ? have in the pine-lands, branches that never fail, and such a pond can be made at your front door with impunity. We have been living beside such a one for thirty-five years Though fish, they say is brain food, hnd as such is to he t sought, we more particularly desire it t just now, to help in these hard tim s 1 our people to live; and hope that evi a t this slight effort, may interest some >f c oar friends to make an attempt in this direction.
