'he Press and Bannei ABBEVILLE, S. C. Vednesday, Feb. 26, 1S7? Weather anil C'roj?s. After numerous and sudden Variation >f heat and cold, snow, wind, frost, slot; Ina sunsiiine, uic wmner scuiu* ;n in.j have settled clown to be pleasant, mil* f warm and spring-like. Occasional! lists of wind remind us of the near aj roach of March and the clouds of duley raise recall to our minds the ol lying that a peck of March dust is wort king's ransom. Under the quiekenin ifluence of the spring, trees are puttin irth their buds and tassels, and garden ork is being pushed forward with \ igt>i n the country all hands are busy m th eld or at the pasture-fence. The farmers of Abbeville act and d ot agitate. They havo taken no part ii 10 guano war, but they have quietly set od the matter their own way?they hav urcliased less guano. Although a con derable quantity still conies to thi >unty, there is a marked decrease wiiei >mpared with the quantity used in for ier years. Farmers are fast coming I le conclusion that guano is very gooi id protitable when you have tlie righ ian to scatter it and the right soil to relive it and the right sort to bo scattered ut these three requisites are so scldon und that this other belief is gaininj ound?that the average farmer and tin 'erago soil can do better without thai Ilitb guano ami pliospnates. one 01 ni Lost thrifty and intelligent farmers it Ibbeville County t<?hl lis the other dai pat he used guano for several years, am btli he and his land got burnt; for tlx 1st three years he had not used an oum-< nd ho did not think lie had lost uiu unco of cotton either. For several weeks there was a lull it le cotton market at the Court House Lit during the past eight days the l?u>i pss has looked brisker. Cotton wagonave been numerous and well-laden no farmer sold thirty-one bales las leek, anotlier twenty-four, and severa hers from fifteen to twenty each. Tlie\ (id held their crop vainly hoping for i be in the price, but as the prospect did >t brighten they brought tlie cotton t<; arket and sold at eight to eight and ; larter. Ivoeniocs Workmanship. ? A perct model of a large two-story hou^c haf sen on exhibition at the post ollice foi me time. It is the work of our ingeous young friend, Mr. James Lawsor: liich lie produced with his pocket-knife, le miniature dwelling is a faithful modof a house from a plan by Hobbs the nous architect. It has piazzas, pavili windows, ba3r windows, high, steep ofs with numerous and ornate irothic bles. It covers an area of 18 by IS ihes and is 21 inches high, is weather arded; is covered by LM>9 tiny shinjs; and in its structure over 3oi>0 nails ire usod?about one and three-quarter IlllIU1S. it IS really H huik im nunuu meets great credit on the young nrehipt. From it? front door steps to its limnev tops it seems to us to be laultfes. Mr. Lawson informs us that he frposes to construct appropriate outluses and a garden, all to be enclosed r a feuco. We think lie ought to pure tho calling of an architect for which has shown so much talent. k.n Amkxdnk.nt to tiik Stock Law. KVe proj>ose for the consideration ol [r Legislators an amendment to the exklent Stock Law, to be mad? next scsm. We think they were guilty of a sin omission when they did not name in b cotalogue of cattle included in the pek Law such dangerous and disgustK cattle as drunk men, and men drunk [sober who shoot oil' piutols and shout t oaths in public places. Shape it your fii way, gentlemen of the legislature. It in the interest of public decency and iblic safety, amend the law so as "to inide these lower animals. Send ineortible drunkards and crack-brained piemen and men with dung-hills in their niths, into the pasture for a while, put 3iu to eat gr iss like an ox, like Ncbhaunezzar, and, our word for i:, we :ill then have peace, purity, and a b.-t:citizenry within our borders. A raniut bull or a billy-goat at large is a much is dangerous animal man a pr ia::e or stol-annod drunkard. Wkdxksday night a party of cloven rsons arrived in this city from Texas, their way back to South Carolina, ley had uo money to pay hotel bills, u were kindly eared for by olliccrs at e station house. None of them liad en anything for a whole day and they ;re nearly famished. Major Cook proJed breakfast for the wliolo family, ic old man says lie worked hard in xas to make a living but met with adrsity on every hand. When the party rived at Chatianooga their inoiu-y gave t, and the Western and Atlantic Kailid passed them over their line of road half faro, the people of Chattanooga utributing the money.

The country mid soon goto the bad if we had many eh corn raisers as Dr. Cooke. But we 5 pleased to say that many of the plan's of our county do not waste their le scattering ashes over their lands, or lining lye with which to make the best ip in the world. They generally throw ;tr ashasaway and then g<> to the store d give big prices for a poor artielc, or e they buy a patent soap right by lich means they save a great deal. Wouldn't you CJive Morns Timk?? r notice elsewhere it will be seen that i Xcwtt and Courier give authors only April 1, to compete for the prize story, e would suggest that a little more time givon. It was hr?t published in Abbello on the 19th. Unless a lady or penman had a story pretty well digested that time it would bo impossible to ite It up creditably by April 1. We ike this suggestion without anv dispoion to interfere with the business nianement of the News and Courier, and cause being a first class paper it is not er sensitive as to suggestions. If that per was a littlo sickly ticky concern s would not venture to make the sugstion. >r. Footp's Health Monthly has been pub hed for three years and has established u sutation as a health journal.
