C^uite a large and appreciative audience was present at Buag's Opera ' House Saturday evening to hear lilind ] Tom, and we can safely venture the assertion that nobody was disappointed iu his performance. He is, as he him- ; self announced, entirely unacquainted with the science or theory of music, but plays with a refinement and exquisiteness of expression that can 1 scarcely be surpassed, and when ' the fact that he is apparently a helpless idiot is taken into consideration, his performances seem simply miraculous. Among the best numbers on the program were the following: Gottschalk's Last Hope. Delta Kappa Epsilon Grand March, Hungarian Rhapsody by Liszt, Titania by Weley, and two very line descriptive pieces of j his own composition, the i5:tttie ot Manasas and Blind Tom's Itain Storm, the latter of which he composed when only live years of aye. Ilis imitation of different musical instruments was very remarkable, but possibly his most wonderful accomplishment is that of repeat ins* the most difficult pieces of music after once hearing1 them. In compliance with his request that some lady or gentleman would piny sonicthing for him to repeat. Mrs. W. II . ' Flenniken played :i rather .difficult | gallop As soon a? site concluded ! Tom seated himself at the piano ami j rendered it well?we ean pay him no I higher compliment than by siying lie; played it almost as well as Mrs. Flenniken did. He recited a verse of souie poetry of which lie is the composer, but we think the audience will agree with us when we say that, accomplished musician though he is. he could scarcely be conscientously styled a poet. He is no stranger here, but the public will ho-cav tirP nf him. I ?Avers Pills, being convenient, efficacious, ana safe, are the best cathartic, whether on land or sea, in city or country.

Another thoroughly enthusiastic n?eting of the Executive Committee of lie Fairfield Agricultural Society was leld on Monday,1 and a great deal of rery important business was transited.

Mr. Wylie is in correspondence with several j balloonists, but as yet has closed a contract with none; but at any rate Lhe great balloon ascension will most issuredly be made on Tuesday the . 3rd of November. We are going to < liave numerous attractions during the [nstitute, but Ave can't say that any j but the above will be <;out. of sight.*' Mr. S. D. Dunn has accepted an in vitation to read an essay before the Society, and something exceedingly interesting may be expected from him. The other essayist has not vet been sc- ; lected, but lie will in all probability be some one familiar with the culture of tobacco. The cotton merchants here have very kindlv offered a premium of ten tlollars for the linest bale of cotton on exhibition, and it is possible that the ; premium offered will be made still , larger.

Last Fridav evening a representative of The News and 1Iek.vlj>, having been kiudly iuvi;ed to attend a special meeting of the White Oak Prize Club, left town l'o;- White Oak about six o'clock. The moon rose just a? twilight wh* disappearing, and kiudly Iifilled the road lor n- to drive comf??rtably and with spued. The wagons heavily loaded with cotton assisted by the beautiful fair weather had leveled the rough edge* in the road and the buggy wheeled along without a jar. At eight r-V.o ;k we drove np to the school hout-c, and found the members rapidly coining in. We had not heard much about the Club recently, and had feared that the interest in it. which was so manifest a year ago, was subsiding. All our fears are now gone. These men at White Oak know the weakness of human nature. Some 01.e or more of them are philosophers, and what is best of all?unlike many " * ? I ? -1. ~ ^ I men?tiiev luni lueir Kiiowieujie ui human weaknesses to ihe accomplishment of noble and useful purposes. Many people study out the weak points in their telle .v-rnen, and appropriate their knowledge to the attainment of selfish end-. It is not so with our sagacious friends in the White Oak Prize Club- The application of the-e discursive remarks consists in this: A churl time ago, the member* began to neglect their attendance on the meeting* of the Club, not .so much because ilicv didn't appreciate the worth of the organization, but their enthusiasm became Jateni on account ?f the busy feason incident to planting and cultivating the crops during the summer, llow was this latent interest to be revived? It has been done, and done sflectnally. The Club decided to j;ive i big fish try, and sure enough it brought the members out, and when 3nee there they got down to business. Just alter the meeting \vi< called to Dvder an effort wa- made?possibly Diit of consideration for some quests? [o fall immediately upon the refresh incuts. This was not t<* be done. Business before pleasure" was the keynote of the meeting, and the motion ?vas crushingly defeated. We don't Ihink the guests regretted if, for 'twas really refreshing to hear how encouragingly the members talked. The minutes of the last meeting and the proceedings of the prossnt meeting showed that the Prize Club is doing a jjood work and the members have pientv of fun too. The reporter caught from the reading ?f the minutes on a termer occasion that quite a di'ctusion irose as to when a certain quantity of ivarevmelons, &c., >h.?u!d be eaten. Uumorou"! speeches were made, bits of irliich appear in thy minute bo?>k, and now and 1111*i good sound business is utcispsrsed. in litis way, the pro;eedings. of tlie (Jtib art! entertaining', not tediou*, and, at flie same time, profitable. The trrea'rr )>*rt of the business transacted on last Friday night was whether or not the Club should offer prizes on wheat and other [hiriijs besides cotton and crops most isnaMy planted. The idea of the Club, md it is a good one, is to enlarge the >rizc list, and thus encourage diversified fanning. The Club was almost unanimous in the belief that farmers rmi?t quit plantiag all cotton. Many rigorous and thoughtful off-hand speeches were made oh this line. The President's addre.v-, which is published ii another column, shows fairly well ;he sentiment on this line. After the lelivcry of the address large pans of 2leg*nt lifth delightfully prepared were rgrved, and an ample reward it was for p'dtUjiice and the labor ot business.

"Seldom Fed;" lie has gone to that place where no traveler returned, viz., Buzzard lloost. The anticipated wedding of Miss >ue Gunncll to Mr. Tom Smart took place on Sunday, October 11, at her father's summer villa, near Simpson's. I am sure the Quarry will join me in wishing her much joy, and may their lives be crowned with bliss and joys. Mr. Lint Ligon, after an extended turn through the Wild West, lias returned to the Quarry. A large party of ladies and gentleninn from the Ouarrv left hist liiffht in carriages to surprise Mr. and Mrs. Tom Smart. Mr. John "Walling lias now on hand an assortment of -'hat racks",buggies, road carts and wagons, which lie will sell in lots to suit purchasers. About sixty people from the Quarry will attend gala week in Charleston. Lem C. Ferrall secretary and treasurer of the W. O Co., paid the Quarry a visit 011 Friday.

"Woodward, i>.C..Oct.lfi.?Special: | The corn crops in this section have nearly all been gathered, and every one seem to be highly pleased at the line yield. The general opinion is that a Yery little of the "Western corn will be needed here next year, as most everyone has made plenty to do them. It is generally conceded now that the cotton crops will be much lighter than those of last year, yet not so light as they are reported to be in some other sections of the comity. We hear of a number of farmers who hare picked out as many as six and seven bales to the plow with possibly half as much more to pick. The price is lower now than it has been at any time during the year, in consequence of which trade is very dull and bolli fanners and .merchants are very blue. The receipts t? date here are about four hundred bales against one thousand at i c I same time last year. The ginneries of Maj. Briee and Mr. Calvin I3rice, the only two in this section, are kept pretty busy now. The Major has ginned about one hundred and fifty bales to date. I am glad to report that a number of our enterprising- citizens are becoming interested in the Farmers' Institute that is drawing so near, and will have on exihibition a very creditable display of stock, poultry and agricultural products. Should the talked of balloon ascension be a reality it will attract many from this section Avho otherwise would not attend, and it is to be hoped that it will take place and thus be the means of augmenting the crowd that wili attend the Institute. ! A\"e earnestly hope that everybody in | the county will manifest such an in! terest in the County Fair as will make it a grand success. * Mr. J. A. Stewart, one of our most ; successful and energetic farmers, is i the only person we have noticcd pre- < paring his land for a big crop of wheat. 1 He expects to sow only about six acres, ( but w ill take special pains in selecting his seed and will sow early and manure heavily and thus insure a good crop. Mr. Mewart takes a consiuerauie | interest in poultry and has about one j 1 hundred and lifty-live fowls of mixed f fancy breeds. Among this number is an old hen that deserves a passing j notice from the fact that she has passed a chicken's three score and ten. j This faithful old hen's career of use- ? fulness extends over a period of twelve * year.?, and she seems to be proud of : the fact that during all this lime she . has successfujly baffled every effort and contrivance of cully to bag her. The law of decrepitude seems to have been reversed in her case, and instead ' of bending and tottering under the 1 weight of years, she seems ta be grow- 1 ing more erect and her sprightly gait more graceful. We hope Mr. Stewart ! will take special care of this old hen !, and see how much longer he can make ? her live. We would suggest to Mr. ^ Stewart that he exhibit her in the County Fair as the only hen perhaps in i the County that has long and success- 1 fully out-generaled cully and other night hawks. \\rc think she would find a place among the curiosities. The population ?f this town was increased a few days ago by the advent of a little boy a son of Mr. George Brice and grandson of Air. Calvin Brice. As he has the honor of being the first son and grandson he will no doubt receive his full share of ad- J miration and attention. m. kixd iroitns Expressed by the Kev. Jno. T.

But I feel that we are still comrades, marchins under the same banner. The trip to Philadelphia was pleasantly made in about twenty hours, and we were met at the Broad St. Station of the PcnnsyJv ;.,ia railroad by a committee of four ciders who conveyed us to our present boarding house at 181G Christian St. where we were soon made to feel at home. On Thursday evening a commttcc of . ladies called oh Mrs Chalmers. On Friday evening a public reception was given at the church. The large lecture room and platform were beautifully decorated.
