( J. E. McDonald, Esq , who had been 1 retained by the Templars to conduct ( their fighf, was seen Monday in re- t gard to the matter. He said: "We t have concluded to give up the fight in consideration of Judge Pope's re maskable ami unprecedented assump- ? tion of power.

There was a considerable mad dog- J scare in this section last Saturday. \ dog belonging to Mr. Braswell on Jcdar Creek made a raid on Friday night through the neighborhood biting quite a number of dogs. lie- re-, turned home on Saturday morning ind bit two of his children and a young lady about grown, and came very near biting one of his sons in the face: also bit some hogs. They shut the dog up. but it got out and made another raid in the same section. It would have bitten Mr. T. C. Camak's children who were in the yard had it uot been that his dog was with them, and it made for it first, which gave the children time to get in the house and shut the door. The alarm was made and a number of men went in pursuit of it. The dog was found and killed by a colored man near Mr. Tennant's lot in the evening. The party then organized and went into a general kiHing of all the dogs that they could hear of being bitten. It would have been well to have suspicioned all the rest and went into a general slaughter. The dog was bitten nearly a year ago. I have heard since that Mr. Braswell has another dog that has left home. Mrs. Robert Camak, of Seneca, is on a visit to Mr. T. C.Camak's family. Mr. Jas.

AN INCIDENT OF THE WAR, | Related l?y Ont of the 61h S. C. Cavalry. Messrs. Editors: I read, a tew days n<iO in the Atlanta Constitution, of the minion of the Sixth S. C. Cavalry at Greenwood. I would have liked to meet onco more with t e ^nrvivore oi ihat once galhnt command, but dis-. i lancc was in the way. Yet, through | Mime occult means, as it were, I mani jigrd to ?e( with the hoys again and I lor a little lime live over the tragic | <i:iys ?t the sixties. I called up old I ey uniform* and faces of the heroes i ihat wore them. 1 wonder how they ; look now! I called up desperate j charges, the crashing of artillery, the whizz'ng of minnies, and most the >adde>t of spectacles?an onpty saddle. j In ilie inid>t of my reminiscences of j i hose day.-!, I come 10 a serio-comic I incident, which I will rela'e j it was in the autumn of '62. We ! were campid at Adams' Kan, S. C. i One night while ail was quiet and the j boys particularly unsuspecting-, we uerecharg-d by an unusual enemy? ; u mad horse. A Urge gray horse had j evidently gone inad, and wa?? in a fair way to demolish the camp. Racing i here and there witn death-dealing velocity, he made his course through ! ihiis and over men. hi one of hi> races l.t- picked his coarse through a tent In wi.ieh four of the good pious Oojs sat p!a\ing at the tiuie-honorrii game of "M Vtfll lip , leaving IVVU IKVCICU Ull each side of the table and dragging the tent away as the spoil of his charge. Private Peitigrcvv said that he held "l.i^h, low, jack and game, but he be d ?d if hs could stand." I.ate at night the mid charger was captured and chained to a tree. Incredible to tell, he succeeded in breaking a link of the lock chain with which he was bound, i>nt was at last killed by his sorrowing owner. It i? remarkable how a true soldier loves the horse that he rides into danger. It has been a long time since the curtain fell on the last trsgic scene at Appomattox Court House, but the sc-nes ot' all those years do not lose their lustic in the memory of the surviving veteran. ~ * * + * It never occurred to me when Gen. llmnritnn wns lr>A<iin<r his loval men to battle, and after when he was leading us through the nufurgotten days of'70, that South Carolina would ever lnr "Trr1r~tt-c!s-s? men that would turn their backs on ijim without any misdeeds of his. It is^ piecc-i?f pleasure to know that ?hc President i* not-iin^ mindful of the merit of Gen. Hampton. s \V. K. R. Montongo, Ark , July 1G, 18!>C. stkotiier notes. i Strotmer, S.

The : greater part of the early corn is irretrievably ruined. With favorable seasons late corn and cotton may be greatly benefitted, but the outlook is gloomy enough. Gardens are literally parched, aud j we fear that no amount of rain could redeem them. Many, who a few J weeks since were jubilant over the prospcct of an abundance of vegetables, are puzzled over the situation. . 'Tis hard to toil, when toil is almost vain in barren ways; 'Tis hard to sow and never parner grain I in harves-t days. j Owing to the prolonged drought i fruit is inferior. To sum up, we may j cite general disappointment in every i department of farming.

Give early and conti ued attention to the practical application of a few of the important rules of spelling, such as doubling the final consonant before iny and cil, dropping the final e, etc. By this mear.s pupils will learn to spoil correctly a large class of words in current use. 12. The teaching of spelling should be so conducted a? to unfold something of the meaning of words, and of the formation derivatives from primative words and roots The exercise then becomes a part of good intellectual training, instead or a Diina effort of the memory. 13.

This enables you to visit tlie pictur esque "Queen City" at no additional cost, and special efforts will be made to entertaiu strangers hospitably and reasonably. The universal verdict of the traveling public is that the Pullman Safety Vestibulcd (runs, running every day, "and Sunday loo," via the C. 11. & 1). and Monon, between Cincinnati, In dianapolis and Chicago, are without doubt ihe "linest on earth."' These trains were especially built by tli3 Pullman Company fo* this service, and embrace every improvement. Their magnificent c?aches, luxurious smaking cars, superb sleepers, observation cars, compartment sleeping cars aud unexcelled dining enr service, afford "all the comforts ot home." Leaving Cincinnati you pass through the beautiiul Miami Valley, and for twenty-five miles the d?ub'e tracks run through the very front door yards of the finest suburban homes in the country. Beyond Hamilton and up to Indianapolis, the line is noted for its scenic beaut v. A stop over at Indiauapoli#, the capital of Indiana, may bs obtained by depositing your ticket with the Secretary of the Commercial Club. This city is more worthy of a visit than almost any other of its size in the West, and offers the greatest inducements to traveller and tourist. Between Indianapolis and Chicago the iine traverses the very best agricultural and commercial territory, a;id the ride is one of unparalleled' comfort and beauty. Dear in mind that the C. H. & D. *nd Mo?:on Route trains all run via Bnrnside Crossing, from which point ilip Illinois Central suburban trains run direct to the World's Fair Grounds every inement. At Englewood con neetion is made with the electric cars, whi;h run every five minutes to the grounds, but we recommend all persons to go directlv into the Dearborn Station, which is located in the heart if the city and from which all street car lines converge, then go directly by car or cab tj your hotel or boarding place. First locate yourself; know where and Inw you are lo live while in Chicago. Get the locality firmly fixed in your mind, before going to the World's Fair by any of the numerous convenient ways; the cable cars, electric roads, elevated railroad, Illinois Central K. It., suburban trains and the steamboats afford ample accommodations for all possible visitors, and it is but five minutes ride from the business portion j of the citv to the grounds. Take vonr breakfast down town, buy your lunch at the grounds, and take your supper down town. If you follow these J suggestions you will save money. LLiFOBB AND ^SSjel, \\:v?bV?W/ w?
