Notes from Greeleyviile. Greeleyville, April 2.-Mn. EDITOn: The time has passed in which it might have been proper for this correspon dent to speak of rain, freezes, nd blizzards. Winter no longer lingers in the lap of spring, but spritng has bounded with joyful leap from the bosom of winter. The warm air and bright sunshine, the budding of ea: es and singing of birds, suggest the thought that the almanac maker Jas made a mistake, and that March :he 30th was the real "oster' day in tead of the sorrowful "Good Friday." Lo these reviving influences was add ,, in this household, the cheering' >rcsonce of a valued friend and form r pastor, Rev. H. M. Mood. On the fteruoon of Easter Sunday he preach d a highly interesting and instruct ve sermon on the subject of the fall, epentance, and restoration of the Lpostle Peter, closing with an earnest shortation to Christian love, based )n the Saviour's question to Peter Lovest thou me ?"

In.m, April 7.--April has comn ewith I arth and showers, and the farmers,j re turning around twice in a place. orn is now being planted ; then thee .ing's turn comes next. Our wide awake Mr. T.

Comev Mr. C. A. B. Johnson has a sowd aat has seven pigs, three white and ur black. Mr. Rufus Johnson has wo sows with seven pigs each, three hite and four black in each case. I1 are fine stock A few days ago a friend of ours ho some times keeps company with Texas pony, gave the following .de cription of his experience. A frienda f his being present who expressed at Lesire -to ride Texas, our friend pro-I eeded to equip Texas, and to showy 'is friend how kind and gentle this exas was. He must mount first, 0 'hich he quickly assayed to do ; but ( ast as he bad mounted and got him elf erect, he found himself flyin hrough space at a fearful rate of; peed. Though his fiight was short was far. He says he eaar~e down n his head, which sank down deeply I to the newly plowed ground. Af er considerable effort he got his head' ut of the hole and with both hands C mroceeed to tear the sand out of his yes, which he accomplished in a very imited space of time, being very de iros of seeing what Texas would et do. He found Texas at that ~ ime about four feet above the ground,! vhen in a twinkle he alighted on er firma. He asked his friend how' nany jumps Texas had madi since he ismounted, only one was the answver. Cexas had taken all that time to get1 ack to Carolina soil. He says he would not tell his expe ence, biut h!at there were three other iersons present and that they will be ure to relate the incident but w'll be qually sure not to relate that each of h~em passed through the same expe-. ic.c i the next half hour. .EJ. .1 Pleauant Visit to Orangeburg. Pauola. A pril f). -.Tu write all I saw duing my visit to the Riverside would make a voe:me ; you must be satisfied with only a few items from my scrapbook, for my viit was solely to attend the marriage of my niece, whirh took place the evening of the 29th Mari. In the absence of rail road facilities we were reduced to the necessity of an unhappy lot of taking passage on a batteau. Old Santee was reveling in one of her character istic booms-her waters roiled with turbulcuee ; the perilous deep looked frightful. We bad misgivings, but the morning was calm as the stillness of noon-day, and in con pany with several gentlemen and ladies we set sail and soon forgot the dangers of the deep. After two hours run we Landed ashore on the Orangeburg side, where we found vehickles ready to convey us to our place of destina Lion. Nothing transpired during the arossing of the river but a heavy rain. this was by no means a pleasant vis tor, unprotected by wraps, there be Ing no chance for umbrellas. It avas realy amusing with heavy tor rents of rain falling to hear the ladies scream. The marriage was a brilliant affair. When the sun hid itself in the west ,rn horizon, and the invited guest began to assemble at the residence of he bride's father's, we were lost in imazement, and regretted that we ere unable to call back many days Af our riper years, for it was bere we ere born, and life to us now seem d like a dream. The scenery so 'icturesque as each bridesmaid took Ter place followed by the bride and room, can only be equaled by the sumptuous table, which was spread with every delicacy to satisfy the ap )etite of the most hungry epicure. 'be ceremony was performed by Rev. W. H. Kirton, a member of the South Jarolina Conference. After this the ,oung folks indulged the light fantas ic tip till the wee sma' hours. Friday 30th we paid a visit to the hriving little town Elloree. This is he terminus of the Eutawville rail -oad, and has grown to be a town of :onsiderablo magnitude. Its fine )uildings attract attention. This only ;oes to show what a people with de ermined will can do. They set to cork to bauild this road and they did t. Everything looks as if the pros >erity of the people is on a bighplain. esides, there are fourteen stores, Landsomely arraniged streets, a fine 7aded academy under the supervis en of that able instructor Dr. Book Lart who is giving attention to the ising generation. There is one hurch in the course of construction. n this our Baptist friends take the gad. Saturday 31st was the usual grand aster festival at Felderville, for which these peopi are so famous in e!ebrating. It has been the custom comn time immemorial to celebrate ais day by breaking eggs. These ggs are dyed in various colors rep eseting scenery beyond mention. ome scrupulous busybodies think bis a species of gambling, and argue gainst it forgetting weightier mat ers of the law. At night was the ionumentad meeting. Tjhe spacious own hall was tilled to overflowing to itness the tableaux and charades. 'he stage was a model of brilliancy. 'ifteen cents admission fee was harged at the door; eatables inside* ere sold; each actor did his part ell; and I never witnessed a more njoyable affair. It seems that the >ur young ladies engaged in these uncerts are working for a good ause. They are laboring to build a monument to Orangeburg's Confeder t dead. Could they, Mr. Editor, ie their time and talent to a nobler ork ? What an example for the oung ladies of this county to follow,~ erect a monument to Clarendon's ead. T OM. Forestoni's Feverish Fellows. FoRESTox, April 7 --MR. EDITOR:' ou ought to move the Tunn3 office >Foreston ; then, if you would ike it a free paper, wve would make lively for you, and keep it brimful 1 the time. Things are now at fe erheat between those two fellows mat have been writing such hard ings about each other. They have ot their irish up for true. I hear ne of them went to Manning yester y and got left. It makes me think >f t wo curs growling while some one se is a sic-a-boy-ing, and trying to et them to fight, thinking it will be ne fun, but they themselves (the tchers-on) will be sure to keep at a ife distance. If these two belligerents -ere left alone they would soon, ke the Killkenny cats, swallow each ther, and don't know that the com muity would miss either, or sustain' n great loss. The world would eep moving just tbe same, chickens atching, dogs barking, and the cows oming home to be milked. POP. Bargains~ .4 Moses Levi's. FOR CASH ONLY. Cacoes, 4 to 7 cents pecr yard.
