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.?

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

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

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,

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

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

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

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

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. There is no ulum that the ?
curculio will not talie, though any t
kind may sometimes escape for i
One year in One place. i
J ' A, Peal* blight still puzztte the <
greatest'men. 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. Trim down, not up. u
9. Shorten in, not strengthen c
up. t
10. If 3*011 had your arm cut 1,
off, you would feel it at your \,
heart?a tree will not feel, but rot r
to the heart. a
11. 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. I
Mr. Theodore Tilton has a let- e
ter from a young man in Baltimore
stating that a number of 1
young Democrats from the South- ?
ed~inU Leo's army "propose"to ^
a campaign club for Greeley and 11
Brown, with a uniform of gra}*, to t<
travel through the Northern States. w
They proposed to call themselves c
the "Ida Grceloy Grays," after the S
heroine of the campaign, and he v
asks of Mr. Tilton, as a special c
friend of Mr. Greeley, if the idea tl
will meet with the approbation of v
Mr. Grceloy and his daughter.? r
Tilton asks Mr. Greeley what he lJ

It is supposed that the "Ida Gree- $

club, to give zest to the campaign *
in t'io North bv an infusion of the 1
young Southern elemeut. It will t
certainly be a lively feature, and,
as Miss Ida Greeley promises to <

probable that more of such clubs ?
will be formed in her honor all '
over the country. "What we need <

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. One hand was
lenched firmly about his gun, (a
pencer rifle,) so much so, that it
ras with difficulty that the fingers
ould be unclasped. 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. The same
lay Sheriff McMillan paid the regard
offered by tho county,
&1,000, to the young men, and it
a to be hoped that the State will
ict as promptly in paying over
he $5,000 offered last winter in
he Governor's proclamation.
Tho names of tho younz men
jngaged in this gallant affair are :
A.. S. Wishart, Robert E. Wishart,
James McKay, and James CampDell.
They have certainly rendered
a great service to the people of
Robeson County.
