Our Trip. Being pushed on by an unconquerable appetite for the fish which swim in Black Creek, and which was augmented by an acking void in what is said to be the way to a man's heart that nothing but a big fut trout would fill, we gathered up our fishing tackle, and ''skipped thitherwards by the light of the moon," in company with the genial, jovial and lively Capt. Isaiah Haltiwanger, whose prayers for rain, by-the-way, availeth not. The crops in that section of the county are in excellent condition and are well advanced for the season and the farmers are consequently in a good Humor. We found Mr. Gantt busy at work finishing up a bill of fine lumber which he wa> to ship to Charleston. We had a delightful and enjoyable time, and the welcome sound from the bottom of a tin pan "three times a day," summoning us from labor to refreshments, was music to our ears, as it meant deliciously fried trout, jack, bream, cats and mullets. The "Esquire" of the Fork missed the most enjoyable week of his life by failing to turn up on time, and we missed his excellent company. Mr. Josiah Bradfield. Mr. Bradfield was a warm advocate of Cheney's Expectorant. Before his death he wrote: "When taken properly it is a positive cure for Coughs, Colds, Croup and Laryingetis. I trust it will find its way into every home in our country." New York Fashion Notes. Fancy waists are again very popular for Spring and Summer wear and even some costumes are sent from the modiste with one or two extra waists. They are more often made in the style of Louis XIV and Louis XYI. Such coats are very elegant, made of brocade or satin with lace jabot or ruflles and with handsome waistcoat^ Other fancy waists have an added cross skirt in godet to imitate the style of the coat. Some of the fancies of the summer season are entire waists of embroidered batiste and open work linen, mousseline de soie, novelties in chiffon, etc. Many of these waists are made with flowered taffeta sleeves. The new sleeves are smaller, drooping or trimmed with ruflles and puffs. A fancy of the season is to wear a handsome bodice of black satin with a light skirt. Very elaborate "evening waists are seen made of the new jetted nets, draped over handsome pompadour taffetas. The favorite colors of the Spring are tones of green, heliotrope, light brown and gray. Easter costumes of light gray and green are very popular. All new French skirts ar decidedly smaller, the average width being five aud a half yards, many of them being even less then five. The front and sides have an easy fullness, with the the gathers or pleats clustered in the back. Another distinguishing feature of the new Spring costumes- are fascinating silk linings in bright colors, from the cheapest taffeta to the most expensive brocade. At many of the Spring expositions of gowns,, the new capes attract the most attention on accouijjt of the richness of material and the novelties in combination of color. The necks have elaborate ruches, collarettes of mousseline de soie, lace, ribbons, flowers and jets.
