A long time has elapsed since I ventured into your sanctum, but to-nisrbt caroeihes seribendi has talien possession of me, and I will give you some items of interest from Buckhead. Christmas day was the occosion of a. pleasant family reunion at Capt. T. M_ .Lylcs. Tnere being present on that occasion to greet Mr. N. P.

Old Boreas must surely be napping: torZephyrus has usurped his place and we hare been enjaying weather as bright and balmy as in the spriugtimc. The hunter's horn is often heard and Reynard is kept busy trying to keep out of reach of the fangs of-the hounds unless they pass a flock of sheep and stop to dine upon a fat lamb. Capt. Lyles has lost three of h]s flock In this way. But. as our leglslatois failed to realize the importance of protecting- the sheep, I suppose our far mors will ltaw 10 be resigned to their ravages in the future. Messrs.

GLADDES'S GROVE ITEMS. Messrs. Editors: Lovelv weather and t St. Nicholas was ushered in Christmas.

The short crop I had a tendency to keep them at the "* ' - --a; 4*^4. same place, it is a uuuceauie that wlien they make a good crop and liave sometliing clear they are sure to move. I predict a better state of tiling financially next fall, as the most of farmers are employing hands for wages. The rent and share system destroys the land; records another mortgage: cripples the merchant and leaves the darkey in such a conditio n that die government will have to aid him before he can ever reach "Africa's sunny fountains," the place created specially for liim. I read witli pleasure the vote of Hon. O. IV. Buchanan 011 the Clemson College bill and liis untiring zeal on tlie seed cotton traffic. But I'm glad we still have cheap beef.
