mwnY. - [fok the da ]t ling ton flag.] A STOIIY OF LOWllFB'S LAKE. Not lonp ago did we rdiearae, In homely, unpretending verse, How Andrew Hunter foil’d the foe. And won that noble prize, Jled Doe. And now we will some notice take Of him, who rendered Lan der’s Lake An honored and a wacred Nj)Ot, Which niuet not, cannot 1)0 torgot: Ae tongas that tall Blutf tdiallstand, Will Gavin Witherepoon command The admiration and applause Of those who love their country’s cause. When British troops, by Tories led, Plunder'd the living and the dead, Wherever richest booty lay. Thither they would wend their way. Our hero was so rich in swine, Also in cattle, large and fine. That they resolved to seize them all, And that their owner, too, should fall. A band were sent to do the deed, And take whatever they might need ; But Captain Brown was wide awake; He loaded up Ilia gun, And then pursued the loving pair; He overtook ’em when they got al>out halt w ay to the Parson’s, and then Reu ben and Phrebe started off upon the ran. Old Brown then took a deadlv aim Towards young Reuben's head, But. oil! it was a bleeding shame, He made a mistake and shot bus only dauifhter, and had the unspeakable an guish of seeing her drop right down stone dead. The anguish filled young Reuben’sheart, And rengeanrc crazed his brain; He drew an awful jack-knife out, And plunged into old Brown about fifty or sixty times, no that its very doubtful about his ever coiuing too again.' The briny drops from Reuben’s eyes In torrents poured down ; He yielded up the ghost and died. And in this melancholy and heart rending manner terminates the history of Reuben and Phoeebe, and likewise old Captain Brown. THE END. '"A m the “Cutest” Yankee Trick Out. A Connecticut broom pedlar—a shrewd ing foi the reins, “ I am inside out .on my horse, or face behind, I don’t know which—something wrong, anyhow.” “ So you are,” exclaimed one of the wags, “just get off, doctor, and we w ill put you on right.” “ (let oft'!” hrccuped the doctor, “no y°u don’t. Just turn the horse around, and it w ill all come right—you must lie drunk.” Maxims for Farmers.—One acre well cultivated will produce more than two only scratched at, and with far lesa trouble. What is worth doing at all. is worth doing well. Never sow your grain until the ground is well prepared, just because yonr neighbor has commenced sowing his. Prepare s our land well, and the battle is half won. When yon make a fence, make a good one. It may cost more at first, hut will cost less in the end. Never plow in wet w eather, if you i I can avoid it. Besides doing injury to the crop, it impoverishes the soil. It | will not rain always. CANDIDATES. FOR SHERIFF. Editor Darlington Flag: Plea«e announce Maj. WILLIAM H. WINGATE as a Candidate for SHERIFF, of Darling ton District, and oblige the Voters of Mt. Elon. Mr. Editor: Please announce HAR DY M. PARROTT as a candidate for Sheriff of Darlington District, at the en suing election, and oblige Many Voters. The friends of VVM. R. HUN TER beg leave to announce him ae a candidate for Sheriff of Darlington dis trict, at the ensuing election. They sought him long with skill and care, I ^ fro(n OV{>r nmong th , gtea dy ha But could not find him, far or near; Then scoured the swamps, and e’en the Drew up and pounded all his hogs; The order was, that they should die Next day, the rations to supply. That night the tidings reached his ear, (Sail tidings, too, they were to hear) My beeves the enemy have fed, And now my hogs will soon be dead. But this, lie said, shall never be, For I will die, or set them free; When he had well surveyed the ground, He found the guards so thick around, That death appeared in every place To stare directly in his face. The only hope tldlt he could find Was in the darkness and the wind— ’Twas hard to sec, and would they hear The sound of any little stir? And then, as Aligator goes, He softly crept between his foes, Till all the guards were passed, and then He stood and walked as other men. He made a gap in every pound. Facing the swamp—their native ground— Then to the other side we went, And, stooping down, as hogs are bent, To give them all a sudden fright, He cried out “boo!” with all his might. From pen to pen the panic flew, And every hog responded, boo! Then, through thcgaps,and on they went, As though they were by demons sent. The hogs are gone!” a soldier ciied ; “Head’em!” another quick replied. The sleepers, now aroused, began To run and halloo, to a man; But all their cries and running failed, For Witherspoon at last prevailed. He followed on, still crying boo! Till all the baud he had passed through; (A hundred soldieas saw him go, But took him for a hog, yon know;) He drove them long, through swamp and lake, And hid them in a great cane-brake— A lovely and secluded spot. Where all their skill could find them not. The enemy would not essay To search the swamp, tilt break of day; For who could tell wbnt dangers lay Along that dark and dismal way. As long as they could there remain, They sought the hogs, but sought in vain; And their descendants still are found, Rooting on that same swampy ground. His son possesses still the land Where brave old Gavitt used to stand; And may that patriotic fire— That courage which we all admire— Pervade the hearts of all his race. And shine as bright in every case. Viator. RELCEKlNiTrilOE. A PATHETIC V ALL AD—DY K. K. BL1FKIKS. In Manchester a maiden dwelt.

As a general purifier of the blood, and an eradicator of all obstinate diseases, this preparation will undoubtedly take the precedence of all other remedies. It gently operates upon and regulates the bowels, restores to the blood its wonted purity, gives tone to the stomach, and promotes digestion. It is the best remedy known for scrofu lous affections, sores, and breaking out in young children, and is safe and effica cious in removing entirely every trace of hereditary diseases from the system in the tenderest infant; in fact in all cuta neous affections it is invaluable. It is highly recommended for all disea ses of the skin, chronic as well as recent.
