The fleet fell in little frozen particles,; tontl soon covered the ground In snowy white-, |ics?, though there was no snow that we saw. j After the rain began to fall the whole face of; tlieeiirth, the lionse tops, and trees were cov-1 . ?rcd with a thick coating of ice, and next day j Icicles fringed the piazzas, feac-s, eaves of the houses, and every place from which the pen-1 tlani* might secure a hold and lend a beau- j ty and a charm. The Icicles in some In-. Kiances reached from the top plank of fcnc a ??.f fmm flm coootwl I to the third and so on. all in a regularity that was beautiful to behold. Many of the trees were shorn of their pride and beauty by the superabundance ot ice that clung to .their brandies, which wrenched them from their Ironies. The consequence was, the town cart, was busy all day on Monday hauling off the fallen limbs that were to Ik? found on the streets In every part of the town. Spw Hotel.

This Issue numbers over seventy page?, nnd In quantity It In ahead of any agricultural pub'lcatlon that cornea to our office while In quality It Is the only journal of lis kind that Is fully adapted to the needs of our Southern farmers. The very b?8tSouthern talent Iscmldoyed In Its columns. The "Thoughts for the I Month," and the "Inquiry Department," arc * alone, worth the subscription price.

J The town council have taken steps to dig t another well on the nubile square, for which t h grateful people will return thank?. The s mntract was a<Ivertlsed to he let last Friday. I The lowest bidder being Colonel Yarb Mad- p den, at iii cent* a foot, Mr. Hammond, In be- '1 half of the people, bid "5 cents a foot, and the ( Colonel not feeling lnelincd to come below r that flgnrc, the well, or the contract to dig it, p vms kn<>ckcd down to Mr. Hammond. Mr. e Hammond subsequently transferred his bid t to the Colonel, who will at an early day pro- c ceed to glvo us fifteen feet of water on the p public square, just In front of the I*ms ait<l t limner office. The great, wonder ti> us Is that a the town has done without the well so long.

Annrcvti.i.K, s. Jan. Ins."?. Inasmuch as tlie bad weather prevented a conference of the trustees of the public free schools 011 I tic-it It instant, I take this way of i ottering some suggestions to thetn anil to all whom It. may concern. Thcl'outity Hoard of Examiners have nsrood that the monthly pay of teacheis shall he according to trade of certificate, or grade of school. as follows: Kirst Grade. Twenty l>ollar?. Second Giaile, Fifteen Dollars. Third Grade, Ten Dollars. That the minimum average number of pupils per month tt.at shall entitle a teacher to full pay In county schools shall be 15; In Incorporated villages and towHis '2 '. In eases where the average number 'between the apes of (> atrd JC> talis below the minimum the trustees shall intra iut caDlta share of the month I.v pay. '1 he law requires the trustees to meet as early a* practicable In the year, in order to locate the sehools and c'cct teachers. This ought to be done before the lot of February of each year, so fltat by that time all tire schools of the district shall have been established and all the teachers employed. No school ought to be opened after the' tlrst week in February unless under peculiar circumstances. The apportionment of the school fund to the several school districts b; made on the 1st of Fobruary, or as soon thereafter us practicable. Unless the trustees tlx some limit to the time during which they will contract with teachers of putdic sehools, they cannot know the number of teachers nor their grade iu time to ascertain, with the accuracy that the subject demands, the length of tlie school term lor their district. The trustees, thefefore, are urged to aseertaln as Soon r.s the apportionment Is made the length of the school term for their district and report the same to all the teachers and to the School Commissioner. The school term of each school of the same dis- ; trict, for the time It Is operated as a public i free school, should be the same. The present i school year began Novcmlier 1,1W?|. If, then, i the school term of any district is six months, i and a school in that district has received pay i for November and December, 1*S1, such school i cannot receive pay but for tour mouths in i 1SS">. There has been a great defect In the adntin- ( istmtion ot the school law In respect to the lo- i cation of schools. In some places the schools < line located too near each other. Tills distribution of the forces and eflorts ol a eommunl- i ty, as well as the distribution of the public | fund bus had the etlect of shortening the < school term, and depriving such unfortunate i communities of !lie influence and advantages | Df one good, well-paid, well-equipped and well sustained school. I recommend fo the trus- i lees the sentiment of a distinguished com < mandcr, who, when asked the secret of his | success, promptly replied, "I concentrate my forces" i In some places, on the other hand, the schools are too fur apart. The etlect h is been, i probably, morcdisantrous than in cases where | the schools are too nearcach other. It has i lessened, alarmingly, the attendance In the jounty schools, and, doubtless, smothered the nark of genius In many a worthy youth, rills part of the school law* Is as difficult of ad ministration as u is important. \\ nue wic aw requires (lip trustees to rav due regard to j my school honse already built, or sites proMired, It nlso requires them to have regard lo 'other circumstance* proper to be considered to hs bc>t to promote tne educational Interest >( tlie district." I uni disposed to believe that . hero are schools in the county that ought to ; >e removed from their present location, and sstabllshed in places accessible to a larger lumber of cliiMren who are not now within 1 i convenient distance of any school. Xn two * niblic free senools for the same race ounht to c ie within less than live miles of each other. L ['wo and a half miles Is not too great n dis- J nnee from a r/oorl xchoo!.

Itlsa lamentable fact, known even to thei. asuai observer, that in some sections of the j J1 ounty there Is ail increasing disposition, on j { he part of |xir?nta, to shift the responsibility i r >f their children's education f.om thern-j" elves, where it properly belongs t'> the pub- v ic, where it belongs only in cases of extreme . c overly and mlstortunc, or wiiful neglect. ] 'hey demand that the public, which exacts P rom them a few dimes for school tax,shall in ' eturn educate their children, build and re-jj iair their school houses, and even pay I he In- j D identai expenses of the school, Thlsdlsposl- j j| ion ought to be checked at every point., and ;11 specially In the matter of building and re-jn >airingschool houses. It Is a manifest. Inju?; j * Ice to the teachers to take any part of thelrj ^ I ready too small salary and appropriate It to f uUding and repairing school houses. The 1 cliool house is a local matter, and the coin-jf nunity ought to build It at their own ex-'1 lense. The circumstances ought t<? be very . S xceptional Indeed, which would induce tho'v rustees to appropriate any part of the public j ? nnd to building and repairing school houses, j v feel sure that my views on this subject will 0 lot be well received, but I believe them to be , v Ight, and that Is a sufficient reason for me to J1 ecoinmend them to the earnest consldera- 1 ion of the trustees. j The trustees will please see to It that the J eacher's monthly reports are properly filled . e iort is based upon these monthly reports. j'' Any letter conveying suggestions and reelnmendatlons to teachers In essentially doL-ctive, that does not ask their hearty support! n the proper administration of the school! i\w, In raising the standard of teacher's cer-1 iflcntcs, in Increasing the elllcleney of the! chools, In arousing an" Interest In the all-lniortant suhj' ct of properly rearing and oduatlng our children,and in maklngduring the hort period of our office, unmistakable adanees all along our own lines in the grand narch of education.

One word to our law makers here: let the State otter a reward ofSlllU for the proof to convict any one for carrying concealed weapons, next make the penalty not less than one year in the Penetcntiary, take the pardoning), power from our Governors for all convicted , of thlsott'ence, and then all of the high-handed murders will stop, and tax-paying money will not then be spent by courts in mis-trials, | appeals from two or three courts, and then to turn the guilty party out just because he has plenty of money. J USTICK. WHAT HON. D. WYATT AIKEN KN0WT5 ABOUT FARMING. Some Valuable SiiKjreatlons Some ! C'onvinrini; Fact*?Let the "Cot-j toiitot'' Take tlie Hint to I>lverNliy : lib Crop, or go to Some Secluded Spot and l?Io. Washington, D. C., Jan. 22,1SS3. E'iitnr Press uml lJunikcr : The lifcn law has been yoked upon the faritiits of South'Carolina for another year, and > 1 lie "all cotton" pnict Ice thereby continued; for nt least another crop; for what lien farmer i can t>e Induced to believe he can support himself or pay his debts unless he plants cotton almost exclusively ? Itut I do not intend to write you nil anU-llen-luvv article. I simply want to publish a few statistical facts, that nwiy encourage those who are attempting a policy of diversified farming or are determined to make their farms self-supporting. In the State of New Jersey there Is an agricultural corporation, that in 1S.SI planted one thousand acres of sorghum cine,and as the result of their year's labor placed upon the market "Jj.SC'J pounds ol wgur and 87,100 gallons of ?yrup. From the seed exclusively they fatted and sold .UK) hogs. Authoritatively 1 can say, they consider sorghum seed fed to .hogs as more valuable than oonu At Hutchinson, Kansas, SOO.OJO pounds ol sugar and 50,W gallons of molasses were produced from sorghum. At sterling, Kansas, jtX),fl00 pounds of sugar were made for public sale. At Ottawa l.si.(HX) pounds and at Champaigue, Illinois, 1MI/KX)pounds of sorghum sugar were also made. I would not advise thc-planting of .sorghum for the purpose of producing sugar by Individual farmers, because this process requires a heavier investment than most farmers South can individually make. Hut as I have I time and again published since I began to cultivate sorghum, I assert there is 110 crop comparable to It in Its net results. The seed, if i ground, is unexcelled as feed for cattle, sheep, j or hogs. The fodder. If properly cured, Is better than coi n fodder. The beggasse as ensit luge, I believe, would equal green corn. Oats will grow as well after sorghum as after any other crop. Ited oats and sorghum mean something to eat at home, no lien at "de stoe," progressive farming, net cotton crop, improved farms, happy homes, and a contented people. When will the farmers of South Carolina reap the rewards or such an egriculitural practice? Would that you or I might I hope to live to see it, but we never will if a lien law Is always to be upon our statute i books. Very respectfully. D. WYATT AIKEN.

Ami it j i wrong that wo aiake cotton tho vastly prepoudera-1 ^ nit ciop with u?, also inaklni* the .Ii-rseys our chlell ^ ittle; diversity Is more profitable ?nd attended with r lore success. Of late the cu7.e has been fur the J'-r- s ?v ea'tU; as we wont cnttie for otiicr mes thsn for 11 littrr. We want cattle for the butcher as well as >r work, hence we should diversify sml raise differ- y at breeds of cattle i.dipted for s|m eial u<es. The ' hort Horns are the best for beef, nnd the Devon* are . St for work animals, and it is said the IIolMnlns are f ipially as go-d hs the Jerseys fur butter, als> g 1 v >r beef as well us work. t*<? if our cattlem- n would " iverslfy, funic breed Jerseys, some Durhams, aoine ' >evon?'and ftDinc llolstelr.s. anil by crossing our ' oinmon breeds with the different blooded varieties " e would, no doubt, Trum such crossing raise valua- 8 le Mock, as yet unknown to the country. s -Kvery orosa will mark an Improvement, and If nil " rould engage in the good work and leave no strag- ' lers in the rear, the whole liody of common stocv K rould.in a few years, be brought very chine to the I n'lgh bred standard of merit," and so with lings ami ^ beep. My favorite cattle have always been the * It-Tons; they are <'ocllc and gentle, 51MKI as milkers, ? nod for bee I, end line work cattle either for the wag- * n or lor plowing, and ihey will do as mncli, or more ? lowing, tl an m uiy horses or mules when put to heavy J I iwIiil', and they stand more fatigue than any other ' xen. They nre an animal whose value i* not known v nd appreciated by Southern farmers. Next to the. 1 levons the llola'elns are hk-hly Ta'.uid P-r milk and ' utter; some rate them fully witli the Jersey. We nakc this error South; we do not keep enough stock m our farms. The Northern farmer keeps as many tock on his farm as he can possibly maintain, while lie Southern farmer keeps as few as he possibly can , :et along with, hence diversified fanning is so" little J bought of with uh, the old liiitch maxim we entirely gnore, "no grass, no slock ; no st"ck. no manure anil j io manure no crops."

Stock must make the aanure to ke?p up the fertility of the farm, and n ertile farm niaRcaixood stock ; the one must keep up heother.

For when farming is no longer klf-sustaining, niln follows it?it is inevitably so. . i Enforcing Agrirnliiiral Hons.
