The following is taken from the St. Joseph, Mo., Herald: One of the most prominent events of the season rras the reception given by Dr. and Mrs. J. M.

Above the front door was "Welcome" in flattering1 gas jets and with tie abie Chinese globes, fairiy cUzziou -ui bewildered one. Withi:: gorgeous sight met the eye. Fi'jwsra bloomed from every availably snac?. There were mantels* of blossom*,* tall palms and ferns in corners, hallways sod window recesses, smilax swayed from chandeliers and archways. A full orchestra was stationed an ante-room behind a screen of plant a. In the back parlor the following words were in letters of gold r?nd handsomely framed: "Married on the 29th inst., at Clifton, the bride's home, on the Pamunky river, Dr. J. M.

Above* this, was a large picttiie; the group of Biz sons, and still above this, was 63?88 in <>ncwy blossoms, from this a rope of smDax extended on either side, encircling the portrait of the gallant doctor and his lovely wife. The home contains eighteen rooms, and the company, though very large, was scattered around, and no one wr.s crowded. Dr. and -.Irs. Richmond stood near the archway between the parlors, whi:u receiving:, and all remarked upon the wonderful yontfcfa? face and form of the bride of 63, one of her greatest admirers being her tried and true husband.

Splendid Exhlbttu?-Iatererttingr ZrorCl80?. FIRST, DJ.Y. The first Farmers' Institute ever held in Fairfiold opened on Thursday at noon in the Court House with a good attendance of farmers and spectators. The Institute being so novel an affair in the county the attendance, while gratifying, was not so large as it would have been had the aim of the Institute been more generally understood, Those, however, who were so fortunate as to be present were struck with tho instruction to bo obtained by such institutes, and it may be safely said that at the next one, a | year hence, every farmer in the counj ty will either participate or send some j exhibits. The exhibition of tb'e field and ctbc products wag very excellent r.id lv ths size of some and prolific fruiting oi others, showed very clearly what can be done by live progressive farming. Among the articles on exhibition were cotton, corn on {he stalk and in the ear, grasses, sweet and Irish potatoes, all clean and well developed,'some of which were of extraordinary size, pumpkins, apples of great beauty and i gize?a revtjjauuu iu aux wuu iuvm | when told that they had grown in this I county?oats, peas, turnips, kallir ?orn,pinders, watermelons, butter and sorghum, and specimens of granite from the Winnsboro Quarry. A long rope had been stretched from the windows back of the jury boxes across the room upon which was suspended cotton stalks, oats, grasses, corn, etc., all of which made a most excellent impression upon tho beholder. The stalks of cotton were particularly ?r.e. being tall and spreading and hoaT'ly fruited with large and Swell developed bolls. Around the room, placeu in tasty positions, were specimens oi corn on the stalls:, which from the size of stalk and ear?, piaialy showed that rrnr conntv ia as <rocd a corn as a cot ton district. The other articles wore tastefully arranged on tables within the bar and were so placed as to be easily seen and examined. The exhibitors were: F. B. Austin, T. L. Johnston, i\ A. >7eil, T. W.

Moore replied, '*1 don'- thick it can be done profitably." Maj. Wood'ward arose and advocated . broom sage as a good cuttle grass, and gave a method of working it. To the question, whether cotton seed rneai w'as a safe food for a milk : cow, Col. Moore replied that some people thought so, but lie thought the raw" seed the best, for "you don't know what you get when you buy the meal." To the question", whether cotton ! seed had any effect upon the butter, he replied that it did net, and that it was not necessary to boi! them. A fh?:; : " * r.?

Some 01 the more practical every day questions propounded were these: : Mr. Stewart aslfed whether it would r.oi pay, owing to the less of fertility iii iM&s during the winter, to sow a grain crop such as rye, wheat, or oats, aud the answer was that it would. Capt. Gaillard, Gen. Bratton, and Prof. Whitney had a talk about the relative advantages of acid phosphate and finely ground phosphate. Prof. Whitney thought one about as good as the other in our country. >!. C. Robertson asked whether it was better to turn peavines under greon or when matured, and which gave the most humus to the soil. Prof. Whitney said that experiences differed in this matter, and explained at length .be chemical ch-mges and general efi.;cis under either procedure. On lipids i: is better to turn them undersome shady crop is planted such a? rye or wheat. On thick clay | land it should not be turned under. On the whole it depends upon the soil, climate and seasons, and no special rule can be laid down. , Gc-n. Bratton said his experience was entirely against green manuring, and gave his experience in detail, ! A question was proposed, 4'Which | is of ihe most value to land, natural ; growth to remain undisturbed, or to ! plant and cultivate it in peavines?" N. C. Roberison and W. R. Rabb,; | discussed this question. Mr. Robertson favored the peavine theory, and Mr. Rabb the other, both of "which were discussed with good effect, although at a short length. The next question propounded was,,. "Does the continuous planting of cot-" ton impoverish the land?" Mr. Thos. Jordan was called upon to answer, and in reply he said that in his opinion it aid not. What exhausted our land was the washing away of it. He asked a question which Mr. J. M. Stewart was asked to answer. The question was, that Mr. Jordan had a lield turned out "to rest." Would it ' be better to turn under the old field grass iu the fall or spring? In reply lar. Stewart said he thought it ought be turned under about the last of January, and Mr. Jordan said he himself thought that theory correct. J. M. Stewart being called upon to tell how he raised cotton at 3 cents a pound read the article which he had written to The News axd Herald in January. i The following resolutions were then i rend ar.d adopted: By Mr. Stewart: That Col. Moore, ; Dr. Niles, and I'rof. Whitney be re- ; quested to furnish a copy of their es- i says to the society for publication. By Mr. Hugh Wylie: That this Institute has heard with much pleasure and profit Professor "Whitney's address on soil exhaustion, and the . thanks of the Institute are hereby tendered him. Mr. Wyiierj> resolution also contained come complimentary allusions as to the active part The News axd LiJiitALD na8 taken in toe matter and the interest displayed by it in disseminating inforrr;atlon about the Insti- : tute, " On -.notion of Mr. W. li. Kabb, it was amended so as to convey to the Wateree Prize Club the thanks of the Institute for the inauguration of the Institute and lor its active participation and encouragement in making it a success. Mr. W. E. Kabb, chairman of the committee on prizes, then announced the names of those who had been awarded prizes. They are as follows, 1 each prize being $2.00, except the one jiveu by The Kews ahd Herald: } ; Ecs: six stajks of cotton, II. S. j, ".Yylie; best six stalks of corn, II.

What is this "nervous trouble" witli which so many seer*, now to be af?~ flicted? If you will remember a fevf years ago the word Malaria was coo paratively unknown,?to-day it isaa common as any word in the English language, yet this word covers only the'meaning of another word used by our forefathers in times past. So it is with nervous diseases, as they and Malaria are intended to cover what oar grandfathers called Biliousness, and all are caused by troubles that arise from a diseased condition of th? Liver which in performing its func? tions, finding it cannot dispose of th?j bile through the ordinary channel is compelled to pass it oif through thd system, causing' nervous troubles* Malaria, Bilious Fever, etc. You wh<? are suflering can well appreciate a cure.
