Maj. : .Taiius Mills was called to the chair, I J. K. Henry acting as secretary. The ; president, (Jol. J. Bratton, sub I milled his report. The report states j that at the annual fair in November : the largest and best display of field crops ami stock ever made by the I county was on exhibition. The total j receipts amounted to $1,977.68. A ! machinery shed and additional cattle j stalls were built. The fair grounds I contain seventy acres; buildings worth j $2,000. There is some indebtedness I on >he Association, but its property is j worth three times the amount of the i idebtedness. The president recom, meiids thai hereafter all stockholders ! be admitted to the annual fairs free, i on the presentation or a stocknoiaer's j ticket, and that there be full display of ; growing crops, fruits, flowers and j vegetables at the next summer meet| ing.

On Tuesday morning a large au- i dience filled the Court room to hear ! the trial of Ben DuBose and Rnff! Douglass, charged with arson. After; a few preliminary motions made by j counsel for the defense, Messrs. Rags-j dale & Ragsdale and Douglass & Mc- j Donald made a motion for a severance of the prisoners, owing to the fact that; one had made a eonfession, and that; could not be used as evidence against; his co-defendant. This motion was r^Aiited and the Solicitor took up the I ?" 1 case ?.?**.? had refused to become a State witness j against his co-defendant. At the conclusion of the testim?uv for the State, I defendants counsel announced that j thev dad no evidence, and simply j a-kea of the jury to consider his age j and ignorance and recommend him to \ j the mercy of the Court, which would have the effect of saving his life, and permit the Judge to sentence him to imprisonment. Tit-- lU/v T?an j.lie uesi usse >ym mc jwit m. DnbBse. In this case the Solicitor was assisted by Mr. J. G. Mobley. It was claimed by the State that this defendant had instigated and pursuaded the J boy, Ruff Douglass, to commit the crime of which he was conyicted, and | was therefore an accessory before the fact. The confession of Ruff Douglass implicating Ben DuBose could not be ssed as evidence against him. The jcase was fosght at every step and after argument by Messrs., J^agsdale & Ragsdaie for the defense, and Mr. ^foJ)Jey and the Solicitor for the State hi3 Honor charged the jury upon the law applicable to the ease. The jury then retired, and after remaining out for about ten ininutes returned a verdict of "STot Guilty." Ll.is Honor on Wednesday morning bad tliose who had been convicted during this term bionght before the r Court to receive the sentences prescribed by law for the different offences. The Judge, before passing sentence, } maue a few timely remarks ou the I subject of crimes and criminals in this I countv. He called attention to the fact that nearly all of the criminals had not yet reached the meridian of life, and that instead of working for au honest liring, they were growing up in idleness, preferring to make their liv'wg by stealing. His Honor was very nisrcjfti! in imposing the sentences. The following b a iist of the prisoners and their sentences; Jordou Stevenson, charged with larceny of grain from field. Sentenced to eight months in the penitentiary at bard labor. i iiuff Douglass, arson. Sentenced to I the p.ei/entiary for ten years at hard ; Ivhor i Xathan Jonston, earring concealed' deadly weapon.

As it has been sometime sine-; 1 have seen anything in your paper from j this place, I will send you a few items. I Our town is growing slowly 'out stead- j ily. Dr. Miller is building a neat and I substantial coltaye opposite Concord I church, and contemplates patting up a drug store or. his lot south of Bricc . & Uo.?s store. A force of hands has been busily en;- i ployed for the past few days clearing j oft the grave-yard and grounds around ! it, preparing it lor a new and sub-1 stantial iron fence which is to be placed i around it in a short time. The old j fence which has surrounded the grave? vard for so manv vears was beginning ! to assume a dilapidated appearunci*, i when about two years ago the ladu-s j interested determined to lake upon | themselves the task of putting up a j neat iron feuce instead of ihe dilapi- j dited old wooden one. They formed j themselves into a sooietv and went to i j work?not with a great flourish as ; men would have done?but very quiet-1 !y, and to prove that they have not; looked back after putting their hands j to the plow, they have ra.-ied about! $750, and given the contract to Mr. j Moffatr, of Chester, who will commence work at an early day. The j fence will not only improve the looks ! of the church grounds, but ihe whole j village. Our reading club is still in a flour- j condition, and we >pc will j not follo\v4il?jexoinple of ilie White j Oak club: "Go where nfir^ojulbine j twineth, etc." The following oftrers ! werevelecied at its last meeting-: Pres'-L ident, S.

On the outer one are the words: "Qaicquidautfacere aut pati," on the inner one are the words: "Nemo me impune lacessit," while on a shield below ihe crown is the number 71 evidently representing the number of the regiment. Tni> j hiif?bln wnc otriflpntlv at nnft timp in possession of an officer or soldier of the British army, and no doubt was dropped, where Mr. Brice found it, during the Revolution.
