His physique Is sadly curtailed of comely proportion, bringing vividly to mind the deformed, uniln-, Ished duke of < iloster. Out side of the pulpit no one would suspect his being an emissary i of tiie Prince oi Love, but would rather recoil with the puinful Impression, "Thou hadstl teeth in thy head, when thou wast born, To! signify thou can'st to bite the world." In| stature lie is below medium, stooped shoul-1 tiers, graceless and awkward." He gesticulates chiefly with his head, which Is sporadically thrown Jrom one side to the other, und thou widen ly dropped with a n ciid stolidity. His articulation is peculiar, alternately a .slwill, unmusical, and a bass guttural lisp projected through his teeth. His delivery is nervous, impassioned and rapid.

Before long an excellent article of bolted meal can be had at the new merchant mill of Mr. Whltlock. His machinery Is all entirely new and of the most Improved patterns that could be obtained from standard manufacturers in the North. Mr. Whltlock hax studied the mill buxiness from a?cientirtc stand point, and be confidently claims that with good machinery, that just as good, healthy and platabie a quality of mail can be made by steam motive power as by water. The advantage claimed, over steam in the facility with which the supply of motive power can be regulated in water supply, and the requisite nice, udjusunentof operation acquired, he says Is entirely without foundation In fuel or theory. The principle, he says, of supply adjustment Is substantially the same with all motors, and no power is more tractable, not so easily regulated and controlled, as steam. It is encouraging to note the attention that is being paid to the raising of small grain Farmers select varieties with greater care matte a more Intelligent application of fertll izers and put in much larger acreages than in former years.

Boyh Smoking.?An cxchangp says that, many boys are poisoning themselves by smo-i king the paper cigarette, and some by the use of cigars. No hoy can grow up sound and vitrorou s who acquires this pernicious lmblt. Many of these boys do not know tho consequence of their habits, while others with the disregard of future penalties peculiar to the boy period, do not care what, the consequcnccs may bo, so that their own vanity can be gnu-] Ifled, giving them an opportunity to "show otT." There arc but few boys who would remain Insensible to an appeal to their pride nnd sense innnhood : nnd It Is better to Into show the Injurious consequences, physiciuly, of the practice of smoking, than to threaten them with chastisement, If detected. Dr. Bland.?As regards Dr. Inland's condition, wo can only say that It is not worse than It. was a week ago, when we last wrote concerning him, but, sad to say, it Is no better. He lives from day to day In very much the same state, and always with high fever. ? --- for i n is morning nm pi<hh>i mu ?>.>? , two days piist.

Itutlcr that he Is now prepared to furnish to the different States of the Union between 400.000 mill .50(1,000 young shad per day from the govern men t ponds at Washington and at Havre do (trace. Md. The President refusing to approve a hill to provide for a deficiency for the transportation of tlio young fish, the State officers must provide for their transportation. Under these circumstances, Sir. Butler will at once send an agent to procure iish for stocking rivers In this State. The town of Winnsboro' has determined to enforce the ordinance against tho salo or liquor on Sundays, and nn ordinance against the carrying of concealod weapons, has been j adopted. This announcement Is made by tho Winwhoro' Newt, which remarks that., If the Rule of liquor to minors be also prevented, a Rood work will have been done; Thlssuggcstlon touching minors has been made before by our Winnsboro' contemporary, and we trust that it will be brought to thoattcntion of the Legislature. Tiib Kxci."iisiox.?The price of tickets for the Female College excursion to Washington in June, lias been fixed at S12 for the round trip, and good for ten days.

[iVcw* and Courier.'] Reports have been received from fifteen bounties where delegates to tlie Htate Dem- T jciatic Convention havealready been elected. r^s J.ix of the fifteen Counties are opposed to lomlnatlng State officers in June; the re- e'<> mainder leave tills matter to their delegates, )r express no opinion. It Is difficult to ascer- ? ,aln whom all the delegates prefer as the( "J" Democratic candidate for Govornor, but tho j ?'e eports received at the Sewn and Courier office ?m iro sufficient toenablean estimate to be made ivhteli cannot be far out of the way. There are three croups of delegates! 1. The K lelogalcs who prefcrGen. Gary to any other: yindldatc. named or unnamed. 2. The Hatood delegates who. la like manner, prefer! 3en. Hagood. 3. The delegates who are opjoscd Ho the 'nomination of (Jen, Gary, tut, lave not announced themselves as support-1 ? irsof ??en. Hagood. somo in this group pre-! 'erring a third candidate.

Gary can JI rely on only three delegates outside of his ? >wn county. Gen. Hagood has nearly four Imcs as many delegates as Gen. Gary, and ils friend* arc confident that nearly the T1 ivholeof the Anti-Gary delegates will vote 1 'or h'.m If no third candidate shall bo In ^ loinlnatlon. ? Tiie frlends|of Gen.

The whole number of / delegates In the Convention will be 750. Of J'' these 6J8 liiivo been elected, leaving to be elected 108, of whom about 00 are expected to bo Anll-Granltes. J Every day tho opposition to Gen. Grant ft 1 becomes more bitter, and Ills workers grow V1 more reckless. There is no doubt now that ' Gen. Grant will take the nomination If he can get it, whether It be on the tlrstor the tenth J dc' ballot .and we fear that he does not care partlc- er uiarly whether ho gets the nomination fairly ni or not.
