The depot at Westvillo has been closed. Except the one in Camden that road now lias no depot in Ker shaw count}-, and that two in faoo of the fact that Kershaw connty is nn nualiy paying into that road a heavy tax. Such treatment is a gross in justice to f be couniy, especially so to the thickly settled community of Weatville. We are glad to state that Senator Hay, with his usual pa tr. otic spirit, is now in communica tion with the Railroad Commission era, requesting them that they com pel the railroaty to re.establish the depot there, aud we trust that at an early day the depot at Wostiille will bo re-opened for it is certainly very much needed.

October is the tenth month of the year, and has thirty one days. It is one oT tho most beautiful of all monthp, and certainly must give an inspired poet I) some beautiful thoughts. The weather of October \u very changeable, for instance, two week* ngo ?t seemed as if cold wether had upt in, and yet we will fctlll have some laorA hot ?ultry days to g? through with. Soujy <|nYs ?f this month soeni overhead to to a* olyar as a cryfta', in one hour, and the next we have a pouring rain. W?* often eee this, but it is especially fi<> in October. Flowers aro very aearco. during this mon'h. It is a rarity that we seo a pretty bunch of tlower.s in the whole month of October. I he one which i? most abundant and ador.iH tho w?K)d8 with its bright go'dcn branches, that seem to sparkle in th<? sun, i ft the golden rod. And I can not say positively that, this would be called a flower by a botanist, but more properly a weed; nevertheless it is a very pretty plsnt. October being a rail month, trade brightens 4ip greatly. The merchant has bought bii supply of goods, and With bis new stock, he naturally makes things look lifdler. .%> Tiie farmer be* harvested bis crop , Cotton seems to pour into tow*1' 1 he* with ? litUejnore. ohang^ lo_hi? pocket thsn .nsnsl, distrL^~ ?? where he ?e?e fit to pnr gOOdSi.

And another from London says: lln Russia the Lonoid displays caused a panic in many places. It ivii3 helieved that the end ol the world liad come. .Churches were open all night long and hundreds of thousands spent throe nights in the open ali\ foaiing earthquakes and a general cataclysm.
