Death of Mr. Westley Crouch This well-known gentleman, one of our oldest and best citizens, died at his home, hard by Butler Church, on Friday night last. On Saturday morning he was found dead in his bed. He ?lied very unerpect edly. At Christmas, or thereabouts, he had been quite bad off with an attack of pneumonia, but, although complaining a good deal from time to time, had seem ingly recovered. Mr. Crouch was some seventy or seventy-five rears of age, and leaves a large family. His wife survives him. _ Formulated With Reference to the Fruiting of the Plant Not simply with an eye to the ammo nia that star;s the plant.

Prescott and Mr. Towles Culbreath had gone to Batesburg on a carp expedition. On their return they created a sensation on our public square. Our male popula tion, white and black, turned out e/nnasse to see a specimen of the treasures of Capt. Jack Bates's pond-or hatchery. And there they were. Ten shining, glistening carp-ranging in size from a quarter ol a pound to a pound. And they were beau tiful. Twenty-five dollars had been given for the ten. And immediately the three or four dead men of our community who had not already begun to dig, went off, hired large squads of blacks, and are now excavating huge basins in the bosom of mother earth. The two model ponds are Mr. D R. Durisoe's and Dr. J. W. Hill's. Dr. W. D. Jennings is still highly success fut in thc dry culture. Aid the Colored Methodists. Up to this time, the colored Methodists have not been able to supply their church with window sash and glass. And to this end they will give a Hot Supper at their parsonage-next door below Mr. Alvin Hart's residence-on Friday night next. In this worthy undertaking they beg the aid and patronage not only of their own race but also of their white fellow citizens. They will spread a handsome and well prepared supper; and we know them to be deserving of all sympathy and encourage ment. Lend them a helping hand, there fore on Friday night next. Mr. Jasper Clark. Our friend above named has been among us lately, selling, repairing and tuning pianos. In the line of repairing and tun ing, Mr. Clark is unsurpassable. And in this matter our readers will remember that we have IODC and large experience. Mr. Clark lea vea us for a tour through. South west Georgia and parts of Florida. And wherever he may travel, we bespeak for him the reception due an Edgefield man of excellent birth and very high charac acter. The instruments too which-Mr. Clark offers for sale are of the very best make and style. A Very Solemn Warning-! Twenty-five carp tails ail in a row! That is they were once in a row ; but now they are gone-hidden in the stomach.of the remorseless terrapin. And, unlike Jonah, never to come forth again. Some time last summer the carp madness seized upon our old friend Lawrence Johnson you all know him well-and procuring twenty-five small fish of this fashionable foreign breed, at considerable expense, he placed them in a small natural pond, which he previously cleaned cut very carefully, removing all vulgar families and . noxious occupants. But, alas! cunning and cruel terrapins hid themselves secure ly and escaped the Day of Judgment. As ' cold weather came on, the young carp, as i is the habit with our German pets, stuck 1 their heads aud half their bodies into the i * 1 gentle mud, and went into winter quar ters.. But their luckless tails stuck out in bold relief. And now came the terrapins, seeking whom they might devour. And forthwith they nibbled off the carps down to their vital parts. And when the peach blooms blew, the carns emerg .1 with half their lovely bodies gone. Ai . although they are still frisky, Lawrence thiniVi there is not enough of their proportion* left to encourage the hope of propagation. Therefore, in constructing or cleansing out a pond tor carp, have a strict eye to the remorseless terrapin ! Capt. Belauger'H Pews. Accomplished is our esteemed neighbor and fellow citizen, Capt. F. A. Belanger, as a builder of houses ; but still more ac complished is be in the cabinet line-in work which requires dainty handling and niceness of taste. This last has been brilliantly exempli?ed in the Methodist pews just finished by Capt. Belanger. They are at once strong, light, graceful, symmetrical. When you wish elegant cabinet and finishing work done, call upon Capt. Belanger. And if any of our coun try churches, are contemplating new pews, pulpit, chancel, or any such ornamental alterations, we can safely recommend Capt . Belanger to their consideration. Our Railroad. Chief Engineer Kirk and Secretary Campbell, of the Carolina, Cumberland Gap and Chicago Railway, are in our town at present, looking after local matters con nected with the great Road. And we are glad to say that they are not oniy san guine, but wide awake. President Ha good, we hear will also visit Edgefield in a few days, in the interest of the Carolina, Cumberland Gap and Chicago. As re girds the route of the Eoad in and near our town, Engineer Kirk has definitely decided that it shall run around the East and North sides. The prospect is still very good that the Road will be finished, and cars running, between Aiken and Edgefield before the close of the present year. 1 Bale of Bannock Mills" Plaids, just opened at J. 2.?.

Lipscomb, the superin tendent of the State Penitentiary, in the suit which he has brought against the bondsmen of the Edgefield, Tren ton and Aiken Railroad, is not acting for himself, but is simply carrying out the instructions of the board ol directors of the Penitentiary. On April G, 1881,aresolution was adopted by the board directing him to collect the penalties due for escapes by the lessees of convict labor. In May, ISSI he was authorized to employ counsel and bring suit on the bonds of all lessees of convict labor who are re sponsible for escaped convicts. Col. Lipscomb is not opposed to the Edge field, Trenton and Aiken Road, and has no desire to obstruct its progress. He is acting under orders. He is only doing his duty.-News and Courier.

FAILURE AT WALHALLA.-We re gret to report another failure in our town, which occurred on last Satur day morning. Mr. John C.

I have been appointed Anent for the sale of these machines in Edgefield. 1 used two of the Heavy or No. 1 ?Single Reapers (5 ft cut) on my farra near " %" last year. Two mules pulled them with ease and they cost nothing for repairs. Two of my neighbors, Messrs. John A. Wise and J. C. Lanham, used thc Light Center Cut Reaper (5 ft. cut) on the rough billy lands of Horn's Creek and will eh dor&e them as giving satisfaction and be ing of easy draft. Col. O. P. Cheat ham also used one on his Log Creek place. Mr. J. L. Shaw used a machine like mine at Cherokee Ponds and was charmed with it. I bought all these machines and before doing so, made diligent enquiry as to the merits of many other kinds, and became convinced the Champion, if not the best, was as good as any ; and a trial proved them to be strong, simple and of much lighter draft than others I saw used. All of us set them up and ran them without the aid of an expert or machinist. I do not expect to make a living by selling Reapers and Mowers and can afford to divide the profits usually made by Agents with my brother farmers, and a comparison of prices will prove this. Every Machine sold will be warranted to do good work and tie as represented or the monev refunded. I would advise any one wishing a Reaper o:- Mower to order early, whether from me or not, so aa to get it home and "learn the hang of it" before it is needed. O' TS can be taken now and payment made on delivery. I cannot fill any order after first of May without extra charge. Prices, Ac., upon application. B. R. TILLMAN, P. () . Hamburg, S. C. p.

It seems th&tthe Edgetield circuit, outside of the county, aas the reputation of being one of the hardest and mest unpleasant fields of [ [abor in the South Carolina Confer 3nce ; but I have found since my irrival here, just the reverse to be. true. And for fear that my circuit will be lathered with an odium that loes by no mean? belong to it, you will please let me say, that since we nave been here my family and I have met with marked kinduess not only from the members of Dur own com munion, but from the brethren and sisters of other churches also. I had hardly been within the bounds of circuit twenty-four hours before of my stewards, Major Abram Joni banned me his quarterage, fifty lars in gold. My family were ent tained at his house, the night of iii arrival, in a princely manuer. Sil we have been in the village we hi received presents of wood, provisiol money, ?c., &c, and I have bf welcomed to the houses of our peoj as a brother beloved, and minister. God.
