Mrs. Eliza Hill, relict of the late James L. Hill, Esq.; and daughter of Mrs. Jane Holden, .whoso death we were so lately called upon to deplore, died at her resi dence three miles from our village, on Saturday last.

George A. Addison. With feelings of more than usual sad ness we addourtribnteof respect to that, copied-below, from- ont Greenville eo temporary. Major Addison, born of ote of our oldest and most prominent fami lies, and thoroughly identified with Edge field, from the cradle to the grave, al though for the las? three or four years he had lived in Greenville, was honored and beloved of all of ns-a man whose life among us had ever been that of a Christian gentleman, a firm friend, a public-spirited citizen. Troops of old friends here will sadly -weep his death ? The Greenville Enterprise of the 16th> says: Maj. Addison had been sick for sev eral months, w ith dyspepsia, we believe, and for the past two or three weeks his life had be?n despaired of by his rela tives and friends. On yesterday morn ing he quietly breathed his last at his residence in this City. He was much esteemed. The funeral will be preached this morning at 9 o'clock, in the Baptist Church.

A Prisoner Escapes from our Jail. On Tuesday night last, between 9 and 10 o'clock, John Harden, of Aiken Coun ty, who was lodged in our jail some three weeks ago, for the killing of his cousin, Elbert Harden,-made his escape there-, from. Through a hole which he had cut in the lloor of his room, in the second story, ho dropped into an unoccupied apartment beneath*, and in tho twinkling of an eye had spiting out of the building and was gone. As yet he is still at large Pan Language.

And now Johnnio B. comes in smiling, and tells tho following "good one," as ho calls it,.on ono of our stylish dry goods' clerks. He says Johnnie H. was accompany inghis best-beloved home the other evening, and when near the gate, the young lady sportively said, " Mr. IL, why is your mustache like my back hair?" Mr. ET- blushed deeply and stammeringly answered that he really did not know. "Because," mischiev ously replied tho merry lassie, "it is all down." Then there was moro blushes and now Johnnie H's. " mustache" " is numbered among the things that were," and tho place whore tho "hair ought to grow" Ls as clean and smooth as polished ivory. Verily, the ups ami downs of some of our young men in their first and early struggles to present anything like a respectable mustacho aro absolutely fearful-and our young friend has our deepestcommusoration: but wo would ad vise him not to be discouraged-and " If at nwt you don't succeed, Try, try again."

On Saturday last the roof of tho Ryan Hotel caught on fire from a spark from the chimney, and had it not been for the gallant and highly commendable con duct of Messrs. F..A. Bellanger arc* Frank Sandland in promptly scaling the steep roof, we doubtless "would have had a conflagration of considerable magni tude. . t In this connection, we would, at the request of Mrs. Ryan, return her heart felt thanks .to the good people of Edge field, white and colored, for so promptly rushing to her assistance on the first alarm of fire, and who, through their timely efforts, succeeded in saving her property. Sh? feels very grateful, and will remember their kindness with last ing gratitude. The Oats' Question Again Under Con? sideration. For the Advertiser. HARDTIMES, 12th July, 1873. Mr.. EDITOR: Will you please inform me if Mr. Elbert DeVore has any of the famed Red Rust-Proof Oats for sale this year ? He seems to be reticent on the subject. And (as Shatterfield caUs him) his protege,-young Mr. L.-how is his crop? By-the-by, who is Shatterfield, or what is Shatterfield, or where is Shat terfield ? Now do tell me, my dear Mr. Editor, was Shatterfield, who, what, or wherever he, she or it is, in earnest or .merely burlesqueing Mr. D. and his pro tege? Was not that the mostastounding effect, the Oats merely smelling the Gua no and yielding so prodigiously ? Well ! Well ! Old fogies like me can't keep up with science. Now let me give you my experience. Last Summer, after having read with amazement the articles on Oat culture, by Mr. DeVore and his protege, (young Mr. L.) and Shatterfield's accidental ex perience, thinks I to myself (as Cousin Sally Dillard's sterotyped phrase has it,) as I am in thehabitof sowing every year and making no Oats, I'll try Mr. D's. and his protege's plan. (I can't try Shat terfield's for the simple reason I have no guano for my Oats to smell.) Well, as the aforesaid protege'did his, I scratched in about one bushel per acre of the R. R. P. Oats with a harrow, against the judg ment of a practical old'neighbor of mine, -who does not believe in book-farming if it does come out of a newspaper,-and, by George, I have made no Oats as usual. Please inquire of Mr. D , for mo, if he has any more of thc same sort for sale. I am hard to convince as my practical old neighbor, above mentioned, says. Now, I think the hot dry summer, ol' hist year, and thc hot dry fall, and thc devilish cold, wet, freezing, spewiirg win ter, had something to do with my failure. Don't know how it would have been could the seed oafs have smelt a sack ol guano. However, I will try Mr. D's. and his protege's plan once more, and then, in tho event of failure again, will probably adopt Shatterfield's aromatic arrangement. lam, tor tho present, Mr. Editor, yours to com m maud, FACTS AND FANCY. Bytho-way, if you will allow me to] add a j P. S.-What about the Wooden R. R. ! from Pine House to your town? Our j hands are impatient to oller their servi- j ces. Jake desires to know if, for a good ,' honest month's work, splitting rails and shoveling dirt, ho will bo allowed to hitch on his slide to the train whenever he luis a load of truck for market? F. & F. In reply, brielly, we would sa}-that wi cannot inform our enquiring friend, "F. & F." HS lo Mr. Devore's supply of Oats this year, but think it quite likely that if he will call on Mr. D. with a few green hams in his pocket, ho can get sufficient seed Oats to try Mr. D's. plan once moro " F. ?c P." further makes enquiry con cerning the status of our correspondent "Shattcriield." In reply we would as sure "P. ccF." that "Shatterfield," in this instance, is an intelligent and thor oughly enterprising gentleman, residing and farming extensively and very suc cessfully, in the vicinity of the thriving manufacturing village of Shatterfield, situated some fow miles North-East of I Liberty Hill, and on the western side of j Edgefield County. The manufactories of Shatterfield comprise a Brick -yard, Shoe shop, and a Shuck-collar shebang-all making money! In conclusion : We will cheerfully al low Jake to "hitch on his slide" to our wooden road train, provided he will give the month's -work,-but if Jake is not more successful raising "truck," than " F. it F." is on the Oats' culture, our train will not be annoyed with Jake's "slide" moro than once in every ten years-that is, if Jake puts a full load on "his "slide."

The crop reports from all parts of Eu rope are more satisfactory, and it is now confidently anticipated that tho delicien c}- in England and other countries will bo less than was regarded as probable a month or six weeks ago. In England, at the very best, however, the wheatharvest, notwithstanding the improved weather, must fall considerably below the reduced average of last year, -with tho result of rendering England still more dependent on foreign countries for food supplies. Yet it is a remarkable fact, and ono which illustrates tho beneficial Operations of tho natural laws of trade when not interfered with by legislation, that ibo arrivals of foreign grain are so so regular and large that the price of wheat is now somewhat lower in England than it was a vear ago. * ~?

Lines in memory of WILLIE P. GOOD MAN, who was recently kilted by the Indians, in Texas. BY RUTH. Afar from the home0of his parents he wandered, Across the broad) prairie his glad spirit flew, I On futurity's verge not a moment he j pondered, On youth's buoyant hopes, but to friends bade adieu. To the far distant West ?mbition did bear him, Borne aloft on its wings all danger to scorn, He was brave as the bravest,-'twere fol ly to dare him, But the Red foo has triumphed,-our WILLIE we mourn. O WILLIE, dear WILLIE, the pride of our dwelling, The light Of our home, like some bright' beaming star, ' Our fond hopes are blighted, and vain our bewailing, O why did he stray from his kindred so .far? The hand of a stranger his aching brow pressing, His eyes clesed in death, when the strug gle was o'er? And the lad who left home with a fond mother's blessing, . . Now sleeps his last sleep on the South Bradie shore. He sleeps where the cypress and myrtle arc twining; Tho waters of Bradie his resting-place lave, Where the stars, and the moon, from above in their shining, Look down on our lono WILLIE'S deso late grave. O WILLIE, our idol, 'twere vain to de plore thee, Thy grave is far distant, no loving ones near, But the willow above, and the grass wa ving o'er theo,- . Through time we'll bedew withsad mem ory's tear. WALHALLA, S.

About thirty years ago she was led by the Holy Spirit of God to put her trust in Jesus, at which time she was baptized into the fellowship ol' the Ked Oak Grove Church, and of Which she lived a consis tent mein Der until tho day of her death. Her departure into a spirit world will bc a sad loss to her neighbors, and more particularly to her-children ; but above all, to him to whom God gave her to bea companion in life, and with whom she had, tor many years, been permitted to go hand in hand, through joy and sor row, through prosperity und adversity. But ive have a right to believe that our loss is her eternal gain. Death seemed lo have lost all of its terrors. Her last moment? were those of serenity and (raininess.
