(CONTINUED FROM LAST WEEK.] WILLI AM K. E ABLET. The sadden and most unexpected death of General Easley^a few days since, was a great shock to the community ot Greenville, in whose midst ho had lived many {rears, and by whom he was gre&ty respected and udmired for his many high and noble traits of character. lie was a gentleman of feeble constitution by nature, and for some time had been in delicate health. But when he left home for Atlanta, Georgia, where he \died, his family and friends reSrded him in ordinary health.? e went to Atlanta on business x%r\r%nonforl cstifrK A 2? T T>^!1 -vviiiivvvvi "IVII illV all-JUIIIO XVllIIroad, an enterprise iri which he bad taken a deep interest, and one which he was mainly instrumental in carrying through to a successful result. For the last two or three years he had devoted all the energies of hit) nature to tlio accomplishment of this great work. It was through his influence, in a great measure, that this Road was located to pass through the city of Greenville. He prevailed on the County of Greenville and the city authorities to make appropriations which secured tho location of the i road. The first news of Goneral Enslev's illness, three or four days after leaving hntno, waa o tolo^i-o?i etating that ho was not expected to live 1 In the course of a few hours another telegram announced his death 1 and that his remains would be sent by the eight o'clock train that evening. The community was startled by this appalling news.? His friends immediately appointed a committee tojgo down on the morning train- and meet his remains in Columbia. They reached Greenville, on their retnrn, by an express train the next morning before daylight. His remains were carried to his residence, and the next day, at 9 o'clock in the morning, escorted by the Masons to the Baptist Church, where the funeral eorvices were performed by the Rev. Dr. Buist, of the Presbyterian Church, assisted by the Rev. Dr. Furtnan, pastor of the Baptist Church. Dr. Buist spoke of the talents, ability and virtues of the deceased, but said he came not to praise the dead; that mournful dnty he left for the Bar to perform, of which the deceased was so bright and shining a light; for tho Masons to perform, and for the community and the press of the country. The funeral services were then completed by the Masonic Frater nity, at the country residence of ithe deceased, where he was interred toy the side of Ins wile's grave. The sadness of General Easley's death was made more sad by the reflection that only a few short months since, his beloved wife and the companion of his sorrows and joys for twenty years past, and the model of a domestic lady, was taken from him by death, leaving eight motherless yonng children to liis care and protection. They are now bereft of father as well as mother 1 This is a most terrible .affliction, and well calculated to iincrease the sorrow of his friends and the community. There were few persons living in this community who had so many warm and devoted friends as General Easley. He seemed to have some ines meric influence over those who eame in social contact with him. Tkey all admired him, and all loved him for his purity of character, ,hia sincerity in friendship, and the warmth and generous feelings of his heart. General Ensley wag born in Pickens County, not far from Greenville Court Hoaae. His father, Colonel John Eanley, was one at the early settlers of Pickens, and came to this part of the State quite a youth, with his father. The General wag well educated and a fine classical scholar, though not a graduate of any college. In his boyhood' he manifested a great love of polite literature. He read .. 1 1?U -1 |wv*rj miw iiuvcib null HUWrDlllg paasiouate interest. Bnt bis reading was by no moans confined to this class of literature. He was a laborious student of history and eoienoe, as well as poetry and general literature. Nor did he neg leot the hard and dry studies of his profession, as may be well supposed from his success at the Bar.?He would sit up the greater part of the night in reading and studying, ana no doubt in early life injured his constitution in this way. This habit was so firmly riveted on him, that he codld not throw it "Off in more mature years. He was a great student throughout his life, and yet he spent a large portion of his time, during the day, when not engaged in his professional duties, in conversation with bis friends and associates. He was essentially a social gentleman, and yet there | was a tinge ot melancholy about him, which cast a glootn over his whole life. Shortly after his admission to the Bar, Qener&l Easley went to New Orleans for the purpose of practicing his profession, rightly believing that it was better tor a young lawyer, who had talents and ambition, to settle where there is business, no matter how crowded the Bar was. But the yellow fe~ ver broke out in the city and torced him to leave. He returned to his father's and temporarily established himself at Pickens Court House. He remained there some tiuio, and found tiie law at so low an ebb that he deemed it prudent to move to Greenville. But during his short residence in that mountain village,- he made warm friends ot nil iKo nrnmiiiflnt ?!-? J: .wv |/I v.jii>ieu> men III 111*3 UIB trict, and was some years after', wards elected a member of tbe Legislature from Pickens, although bis law office was at Greenville.? Whilst in the Legislature he originated some important measures, and amongst them a Bill, which I drew for him, making the parties in a suit or criminal prosecution competent witnesses in tho case.? Wo both thought it absurd that those who knew all about the mattor in controversy, should be excluded from giving testimony as to the facts in dispute. This Bill was remodelled in committee and DgctftuO lite iliw 01 iue janu. iuu present code of South Carolina embodies the same principle, and was taken from the New York code. The wisdom of this altera tion has now been acknowledged by tho Bar and Courts of tho State. General Eaeloy was elected a member of the State Convention from Greenville in 1860. This Convention was called for the purpose of seceding from the Union. The General was a fierce secession, 1 i.rwi ri?. -ii IOV, UIIU iinu utcu u i/ciuuLi uv nil his life. When the civil war commenced he raised a company of cavalry in Pickens and Greenville Districts, and was received into the Confederate army in Charleston, South Carolina. But his health became so bad that he was forced most reluctantly to re sign his command aDd return home. Before his resignation, however, he had been promoted to tlse rank of Major in the army. He was again elected a member of the Legisla ture from Pickens in 1865, and took an active part in all the debates whilst ho continued in that body. Ho was selected by me, whilst 1 was Provisional Governor, to rep resent the Executive, and defend his measures in the Legislature.? 1 his he did with zeal and ability on all occasions. The unanimity with which Governor Manning and myself wero elected to the United States Senate, in 1865, was owing in some measure to his ex ertions in our behalf. During the canvass it was proposed to hiin by (he friends of one of th^ candidates for the United States Senate, that twenty votes would be cast for me if an equal number of my friends would vote for this other candidate. He promptly replied that bo could not dare to make such a proposition to ine, if he was unscrupulous enough himself to think of it. Attar tlin p>.*nir?tir?n of hi? tn.rm in tbe Legislature, the State went into tbe bands of tbe present corrupt and infamous Radical partyt under their new constitution. The General tben confined himself to bis profession, and acquired a very large practice in the courts of Greenville, Piokeus aud Anderson Districts. In the argument of his cases be always evinced great ability and learning. As an advocate before tbe jury, ho had uo superior on tbe circuit. He always spoke well, and often was truly eloquent in his addresses to tbe Court and jury. He bad great fluency of language, and great taste and beauty of expression on jtll occasions.? Some of tbe most touching and beautiful bursts of passion and sentiment tbat I over heard were made by General Easley. In bis cbnracter and political principles, be was upright and pure, but often eccentrife. lie bad uo great-faith in Republican priu ciples,or the permanency of the Republic. The little faith he bad in tboee matters'Was very much weakened by the present condition of( South Carolina. He would willing ly have exchanged, at any moment, the present corrupt and despotic government of Sonth Carolina for a monarchy ! He thought a King would rule over us more wisely, more justly and more patriotically than the ignorance and corruption of the present masses could, -lie had theoretically very 1{H1A 1^ ? ? * il - *miw v/v/kjuwuw in ur iutc iur (no great mass of mankind 1 And yet, in practical life, he was a most kina and benevolent man, and would relieve a fellow-creature, in distress, as quick as any one I ever 8a#? Ho was also a most warm and sincere friend, and had the faculty, as I have already said, of attracting friends to him in an em* inent degree. His health was bad all his life, and this, I am sure, tinged his nature with that misanthropic melancholy, which he often exhibited through life. I knew General Easley well, and understood his character better than most persons. For many years we were on terms of great intimacy, and I never can forget the many, very many, pleasant hours we have spent together.? They have endeared his memory to ine. [continued next week.] FARM AND HOME. When and How to Prune Fruit Trees We seldom do any severe pruning, at any time, on trees properly grown from the beginning.? V/licro trees get diseased or branches broken, as they will sometimes, with the best oi care, the < saw must be brought into requisi- 1 tion, but in general the thumb and i fingers and the pruning knife are i the only?inetruments required, and i these may be judiciously used any and every month in the year. Wounds made in summer heal more rapidly than those made in winter, and if wo have any branch?? of onnairlariihlo .aiae L# take .off wo prefer to do it in June 01* Ju- 1 ly. To promote truitfulness in 1 youug trees of rapid growth wo at 1 the same time "pinch in" or slight- 1 ly cut back the leading shoots, to | check the tendency to the produce tion of wood and encourage the 1 formation ot fruit spurs. If, on the other hand, we desire to promote wood-growth wo prune in winter. , Trees should never bo pruned " uuuuiin uujvui. ill "tn ? to regulate tlie flow of eap, to improve the form of the head, to pro. inote growth, to keep all parts open to the sun, so that the fruit may ripen evenly and so on ; but never cut and slash at random and without some good reason. If wo begin aright with our tree, it will be easily managed. Someone has said?we are sorry we do not know where the paragraph came lrotn ?that? There are laws for preventing cruelty to animals, and there should be tor preventing cruelty to trees. The laws of vegetable physiology should be as well understood by him who endeavors to regulate and promote the growth and fruilfulness ot trees, as the laws of auimal physiology should be understood by him who professes it to regulate and brinn; to a normal condition the animal sys* tem when out of order. Orchards should be visited often at this season of the year with pruning knife iu hand, and kind attention given to every tree.? Trees should be considered adopt" ed children, and their every want attended to. They should have a good, rich soil, which should be well worked, that a thrifty growth may be made. It is as unreasonable to expect a harvest of fruit without attention and intelligently applied labor, as a crop ot cotton, and the latter no one dreams of. Treat your trees properly, and, as a rule, they will richly repay you.?Rural Caro Results of Thorough Manuring. One of our neighbors, with land not any too good, barely able to support a family, npon advice, made the experiment of apply iug manure to wheat, spread on the surface. It was compost, also made upon recommendation, and applied evenly on the laud just before sowing. Only part of the lot was thus treated. The wheat was thus sown, ayd the land well harrowed. At the end of the fall the difference was so great that aline marked the manured part. It seemed all difference, and was noted by every one that passed. This was tnoet gratifying. In the apriug there was still tlie difference; a whitish and partly green hue pervaded the manured 2 i ? ? (P part. The rest was merely barren. Here ahd tbe^b on the manured part, where .'the land was wetfrtfee grain lay o? the surface. however, only i%a few small spots. In a short time the manuring part was adeu^se green, the rest straggling and backward, and most d'ecouraging to-all who saw it. Toward the last this, however, brought up some in .comparison with the other. The manured part grew less rank and mtttured well, J yielding over 200 per cent.' ufcore than the other. An estimate ef the expense of the matiate and 1 in bor, and there over in favor of thwapplieuAiaih But the best, perhaps, is not yet told. The land had been sowed down early in the Spring, arid it was recoinmended to use plenty of seed, which was but partially followed ont. Still the manured part of the lot showed not only a good catch, but what was thought a thick stand, growing well, ana continuing late in the fall. The rest of the lot was as usual, a poor thing, not paying for seeing; there was not the catch and not the growth as in the other. This satisfied. The year followed the difference was still greater, in tho two crops which it was advised to cut, not so much before harvesting as in the crops secured. Then it was found what a little manure did?that it brought all the seed, while the rest had lost so much of it that did not come, and did not grow 60 well. In the spring following, upon advisement, the land was plowed and put to corn ; the difference being even greater here, if possible, than in tiie pre ceding crops. This was followed by barley and oats mixed, continuing the same difference?large crop on the manured uart. an or dinary on the other. Seed was sown, and nearly the same variation was obecrvablo. But before this last was reached other land was treated similar, only that the manure was applied to the whole field. The neighbors took the contagion?all but the indolent?and there is a general improvement. advised to top drees with manure, land that is sown, if poor and intended to seed down. And yet people are not doing it, only the few. It pays in the grain, and still more in the grass crop which is to follow, and in after culture.? It is the manure that helps the grass, or clover, to the nutriment of the atmosphere, after being established in the soil, getting not only a catch, but a thick stand.? Then, aided by a little plaster, there can be no failure, especially with clover. Make the Farm and Home Attrac tiveThe farm should be made attrac l tive to the father's son ; he should not be overtaxed with continual labor, and he should have all the education which the city affords, without the demoralizing temptations which are the baue of city life. When a wealthy merchant retires 10 the country, lie surrounds his home with orchards, fruit gard ens, and pleasure grounds. Ilis dwelling is furniebea with every convenience calculated to add to the comfort of the family. The apartments are spacious, lofty and well ventilated ; the occupants are not cramped for room, nor com* pelled to breath vitiated air, and the family are not doomed to a continual round of hard labor. If a farmer w&nts to make home delightful to his children, ho must provide at least some of the attractions which allure the merchant from his counting room. He must provide a comfortable residence, as many good books as his means will allow, the best periodicals, agricultural and horticultural papers, musical instruments, etc. lie must encourago social gatherings, lectures and other amusements. The care of choice animals, the cultivation of superior crops, the care and management of agricultural machines and implements, and the keeping of a regular set of accounts, will afford employment to at least one part of the family during tho greater part of the year, without the necessity of very hard labor. The members of a farmer's family have different ta6tcs and inclinations. Some of his.children may fancy one branch of agriculture, and some another, but by a little tact and judicious management all may be gratified, ana tneir love lor rural life fostered and increased. Very destructive storms have visited the middle and southern counties of England, prostrating and destroying the growing cropj in many places. Xultum in Panro. Tlie following eleven par&gr&pba from an did horticultural publics- i tiou, are worthy of a place amongst tho most valuable rules < that should govern a well regulat- I ed home: 1. When fruit trees occupy the 1 ground nothing else should?ex- * cept very short grass. t 2. Fruitfulnens and growth ot I the trees cannot be expected the I same year. i 3.

The best remedy ? nown is to plant two for one that i dies. t 5. It you don't know-how to i prune, don't hire a man from the t other side of the sea, who knows t less than you do. c 6. Don't cut off a big lower c limb unless you are a renter and j don't care what becomes of it i when your time is out. r 7. A tree with the limbs com- T ing out near the ground is worth c two trees trimmed rip five feet, and t is worth tour trees trimmed up a ten feet and so on until they are 1 not worth anything. t 8.

When anybody tells you of \ a gardener that understands all n about horticulture and agricul- ] ture, and that ho can be hired, don't believe a word of it, for ^ there are no such to be hired.? 8 Such a man can make more than v you can afford to give him, and if t! lie has sense enough to uuder? t! stand the business, he will also a have enough to do besides this. tl The Ida Greeley Grays.

Tns North Carolina OutlawsWe have received from various sources the following additional particulars of the killing of the outlaw, Tom Lowery, on Saturday last: On Thnrsday night last, Mr. A. 5. Wishart, brother of the late Colonel F. M. Wfchart, who was so foully murdered by the outlaws three months ago, having called to ilia assistance a ferr resolute young nen, set out for Scnffletown to look iftor the outlaws, and, if possible, ;o avenge the death of his gallant md lamented brother. Proceedng to the neighborhood of the nitlawp, . the gallant little band >ecreted themselves along the oads usually traveled by them in heir walks about the country, and vaited patiently for an opportuuiy to pnt their design in execuion. Nothing was seen, however, >f any ot the gang, which now ionsists of three members,. Stc)hen and Tom Lowery and Vhdrew Strong, until Saturday norning about 8 o'clock, when 'ora Lowery appeared in sight >n his way to Union Chapel where he candidates were to meet and iddress the people on that day.? Tom was armed with a rifle and hree repeaters, and walked leisirely along, unsuspecting of dan:er, until at a point opposite where he young men were concealed, to noticed the tracks they had nado in crossing the read. lie iow seemed suddenly alarmed, ind commenced cursing bitterly, vhen suddenly the little band in tantly discharged their pieces.? ?ach of the four shots took effect, ind ottering a yell of terror and >ain, the outlaw plunged into the wamp and ran about fifty yards, Fhen he fell down dead. Seizing he body they carried it upon heir shoulders to the public road, distance of half a mile, where hey pressed a passing wagon, and hus carried the dead body to jumberton, where it was deliverd to the Sheriff. On Lowery's body was found he arms alluded to above, and a ;u!d n&nJSs Wilis ftjfPiippi uncuc'u mill WUCU he leli i tho swamp, he made an attempt ) draw his pistol on them, but ras too weak.

At the time ho young men fired on him, he ?as walking leisurely along the oad in company with a white uan by the name Prevatt, who ame very near being shot as the onng men fired on the outlaw. The body was fully identified as hat of Tom Lowery, and was deivered to his wife on Saturday nornino hv Shp.riflF MnMillnn vho had sent for her to come and ;et it. It was interred by his Yiends at two o'clock tho same lay, somewhere in tho classic products of Scuffletown.
