The young men have advertised a treat to ill those who will cotne out and attend their iliow on tho night of the Kth instant.

They, however, were fully repaid 7or their "observation," and henceforth will 3e at their places. Avery heavy frost a few mornings ago has ibout finished up the fruit crop. The general jpinion seems to be that the entire crop has jeen killed. The Messenger's accomplished correspondjnt "Troupe"' has been summoned to appear >efore the United States Court in Charleston.

By hard licks and truly by the sweat of bis own brow, tie lias made a good living and accumulated a jonsiderable amount of real estate. Ho bejame the owner of the famous Diamond Springs, six miles west of this place, and it PFafi here that he lived and died. He lived the juiet life of a farmer, and in thus living he ilwaya provided himself with all the necessities of life, and never purchased a single pound of bacon nor a bushel of corn. Everything that it was possible for him to raise at borne he had it, and always in great abundance. His life was spent in a very modest ind quiet.way, making no outward demonstration of his good deeds. He had within tiim a principlerfo live by, and ho lived up to 1 to the letter. Always attending to his own lffalrp, with the good will of all his neighbors rod the community at large, he has passed to that great beyond. A good man, a quiet and most peacuiui ciuifii, u lUViug uunuuuu, i\ kind and generous father baa coue to his regard. WEST END. DEATH ENDED HIS SUFFERINGS.
