An Institute for the Farmers. An invitation to The News and Herald to attend a meeting of ibe Wateree Prize Club on Saturday, afforded an opportunity for spending- a very pleasant evening in the country. The difficulty in procuring a conveyance caused us to reach .Mr. T. L. Johnston's, the place of meeting, rather late, but in time to hear a very interesting address by Mr. J. M. Stewart on "Our wornout lands." The speaker discussed the methods of restoring these lands?the use of domestic and commercial fertilizers and the pea crop, giving the result of some of Dr. Fnrman's experiments with the latter. Many practical suggestions were made which we would be glad to give our readers, but our space forbids. After the address a general discussion ensued, which demonstrated that the members of the club arc determined to keep abreast with the progress of fb? Jxmes^ana ii> mxseravr profcssi?jf--of"fanning both profitable ai?8?p!easant. Tte committee on melons reported that Mr. Frank Neil had entered a thirty-three and a half pounder for the prize. Melons will be entered from time to time during the season, and the weights recorded, the largest winning a prize of $2.50. After having passed resolutions tendering thanks to Mr. J. 2d. Stewart for his instructive address, the club adjourned to meet Saturday, August llth, at Mr. F. A. Neil's. The business being over the club idiourned to the yard, where a water melon treat awaited them The dis-1 sussion now bccame very general, and if modesty did not forbid we would report that the 25T. aud H. man took a Leading part. The thirty-three pounder tvas particularly toothsome, and in fact ;o were all the rest. We had the pleasure of inspecting three prize cotton patches. Messrs. Johnston's, Rawl's,"and Neil's, aud splendid patches they arc. The plants ire about waist high and filled with ;ruit, and are looking stiff and healthy, [t is too early to predict the yield?so uuch depending upon the" August seasons?but the general opinion seems :o be that the twelve prize acres in the jlnb will make twenty-five bales. Besides the prize patches of cotton lud melons, there are patches of corn, peas, pinders, potatoes, and sorghum, in acre each, and all looking" well. Mr. Johuston had ihis year's potatoes "or dinner on Saturday, and others re- ! port potatoes as large as a man's fist. The members of the club are very j nuch pleased with the plan of inten- j ;i?P ffl'-miMi irfi nvnrnr jliMiaii iii'Hi'i >ach year unui tne>> iia>c impiovcu land enough for the entire crop. An amount is kept oi the co?t of a^uu4w.vv these patches, so that the profit or joss will be easily ascertained when the crop is gathered. A committee was appointed to inquire into the practicability of having a Farmers' Iustitnte some time in August or September at Winnsboro, and if found practicable to complete the necessary arrangements, and issue asu fp. Having spent - very pleasant evening we returned to the JBoro, feeling mnch indebted to onr prize clnb friends for their kind and hospitable treatment.

Ferry, road aud of course took a pee] at the farms. I know all the fields oi the road and have seen the crops whicl have been raised on them for the las fourteen years. I always took par ticnlar notice of all crops, espcciall when I was iarming, and I believe m judgment may be worth something a to knowing about the average condi tion of what is now growing. Wei , the first places on the road are thos - of Mr. Elder aud Mr. Cathcart.

C., 14 July, 1SS8.?I ; trust a brief description of this bean- : tiful mountain resort will not be with- ] out interest to your readers. About twenty miles north of Spar- J tanburg, the traveler over the Ashe- : ville & Spartanburg Railroad, looking 1 from the car windows, oegins 101 cutch, now on this side, row on that, ( a charming, but fleeting glimpse of the ] mountains toward which he is swiftly I approaching, but it is not until the ' train reaches Tryon, some ten miles ; south of Saluda, that he is actually i among the everlasting hills. From ' this point, lofty heights, covered with J an almost unbroken forest, and coming j down to the verge of the rrilroad ] track, deep, forbidden cuts, tunnellike in aspect, solemn ravines, crossed by embankments so high that the . the waters swiftly hurl themselves I; down the mountain side; and above . J all, the pare, cool, invigorating muuui tain air, asurc the traveler that he is { at last in the heart of the mountains, j Having traveled through these lovely i scenes for about seven miles, the train j otops at Melrose, where an additional locomotive?kept at Saluda for the purpose is attached to the cars to Ln.--i.-t in hqnKnrr tTiorr> np the IflUg, steep gradelTulii mere tosaluda, three miles in length, in which distance the track rises nearly seven hundred feet. With a sob and strain, exactly as though living creatures, the two! engines perform their herculean task; and finally, with a roar and a pant. ' and blowing clouds of thick, black smoke, stop at the little village of Saluda. Nestled in a valley on the mountain ridge between Spartanburg and Ashe} ville, thirty-six miles from either place, i and surrounded by hills and moun5 tains oil every side, Saluda is fast . becoming a place of considerable ' 1 ' +TT7Y1 resort. It contains tarec swim, i commodious hotels, which, we are j told, are well kept, and are being t rapidly filled with guesis, a Methodist church, and about a dozen permaj nently resident families. The climate y is superb, iu fact, we learn that scieuy tific experts have pronounced it the s finest in the Blue Ridge. Water is i- clear, ice cold, and abundant. Near !, the railroad, there gushes out a largo, id bold spring of free-stone water, whiio h close at hand is another spring strongly d impregnated with iron.

There are now, besides those boarding at the hotels, thirteen families who have summer residences here, and three new cottages are in progress of erection. Almost every available lot near the village has been taken np, and :t is extremely difficult to procure one, except at a very high price. Away from the immediate vicinity of the depot, good building sites are plenty and cheap. Among the new cottages is a convenient, two-story, frame house, now nearly finished, for our former fellow-townsman, Prof B. M. Davis, which is situated on a high bluff, in a charming neighborhood, and commands a fine prospect. There are a number of very beautiful views of mountain scenery to be _ obtained in the neighborhood of this place. Conspicuous among these are the views from the residences of the Rev. Mr. Hallam, J. A. Heath, Esq., and Dr. Frost. That from Mr. Hallanrs place is a most charming and graceful picture. Standing in his door, we look down into a long valley about a mile below the point of view, through which Green Biver meanders, while, like a bright green ribbon, the cultivated ground extends on eitne^ rede of tbe stream, wiftenog out at J Green jSfijeE^evft" afcopt five miles distant, into a broad,, flat plateau, which seems about the size of a large garden, but in reality embraces exten- ? sive fields. On either side of the valley rise steep mountains, wooded to their summits with oak and chestnut, like giant sentinels, guarding the peaceful vale below, while in the background, as far distant as the eye can reach, rise tier after tier of mountains bathed in a pale blue mist, until finally the view dissolves into the the distant horizon. The view from Mr. Heath's place is not less beautiful, perhaps indeed, is wore so, but it is of an entirely different character. His cottage is built upon a very high blnff which overlooks the country for miles. Standing in his piazza, we look over the tops of mountain peaks rising here and there in great number, and resembling nothing so much as the mighty billows Df a storm-tossed sea, suddenly stricken into immobility; until in the dim distance the eye" is arrested by the lofty ramparts of the -Blue Ridge, from twenty to thirty miles distant. Over this vast space of mountain top, the passing clouds cast their ever changing shadows, and bring now this, now that peak into bold relief, so that the scene scarcely ever presents the same fv\ tho 01th A rain U-WUiA. *,v/ WUV VVWV4IV* w v^v# ^ storm, passing over these mountain ..ops, presents some of the scene most Deautifal effects. ' It would tresspass too much upon v;our space, were we to describe all t^ese views. BQt prominent in each uid every one, the Mount Blanc of ikmiy aJsing, mi 1 fleecy clouds clinging closely to its sides, is a glorious sight. -- The mountain region ofNorth Carolina well deserves its reputation as a place in which to escape the burning heats of lower lands, and we earnestly recommend you, should your devotion to the editorial chair permit you to spars the time, to visit it, and by no means to omit Saluda. h. n. o. ?JERSEY FLATS will cure dysentery n a few hours.
