Tao-days after the fatal accident, and when.tihe body wras about to be buried, the rela tie of Kinig thought that they 'noticed evident signs of life, and the body was removed to the house, where It was kept for severl days. A re potn got.ioto circulation at the time to the effect that the body had come to life.. After keeping the body for several days, it was removed to the lower grave~yard and placed in a.vautlt,. where it. now is, and it has.been visited by hundreds of our citizens.

MYSTERo S.-lt is reported that in cleaning out the well at the ne w steam mill there was found the skeleton of ~an infant. If true there is a mystery about it unexplained. So says the Winsboro News, and we don't know but on the whole, or in the hole, if as he says a skeleton was found there,that amystery is attached to it, which is unexplained. A fter much r efiec tion and with the advice of several experienced citizens we endorsefthe opinion. tFor the Ierald. * ~ Our Situation. The greait changes which have .taken place i .only act promptly, but consider well what they do. . The year on which the- people of the South; haye entered is one altogether of experiment. It 'is the experiment of free labour with their for mect staves1 Manyhate forebod&ga of II as to the results srhkh tIl ow fromr the. trial be-! cause they do not believe that the freednian will work as well ad as faithfiully as he formerly did. It is supposed by many, that no inducements ofj pay, or reward for his labour, will stimulate him to work .eo as to overcome his natural desire to avoid labour. tIahis supposition should prove to be true, then the experiment of free labour with the negro at the South is at atn end. The question as to this kind of labour, ~brings itself to this point ; .that the negro ?nust work or his place will be supplied by labourers from a broad ; the poor people of Europe will immigrate to the South, and cultivate the linds of the South ;-and then it may he a difficult maitter for the negro to obtain employment necssar.y for his support and maintenance. -Though. this presents a gloomy prospect for the freedman, it is in his power to avert -any of the calamities that -may befall 1im in this view of. the case, if be wm~ be industrious and economical. He can control the labour of the country id- the cultivation of the soil. What is required of him is that he will be honest and industrious, and be ~willing to work.: If he does thie, he will always find employment and enough labour to which he can turn his hands, to mak it a source of bene fit and of profit, not only to himself but to .hisl employer. ~By such a course, he 'will secure La-; bour and employment ; for as a. general thing the former owners:of theslare, would be willing1 to employ bim, rather than white labour. This the land holder wdald do, because he is aceus tomied to the labour'of the'negro, and under .tands his nature and character as. a labourer be,tter than~he does that of a white man. It is the intention of the writer to follow this number with several others bearing, upon the subject named at tl)y head of this article. This is intended to serte as introductory of those that are to follow., We solicit a- patient and candid consideration of the thuophtts and0suggestions that may be presented.. - - MAGON, The Rev. Dr. Raiysor, wvrit-ing from Barnwell District, S, C., under date of the 16ith,. commu nilcates the following pleasing information: "The freedmen are doing well in our country. They have ceasd.theig wanderings 'to and fro,' have made, contracts, settled down, and are work ing with energy and spirit. They are quiet, or derly and well-behded, and we are all hopefull of'the future. Frnm present indications, I think the usual cotton crop will be made in this neigh borhood, together with an abundance, of Ni sions. The House on Monday passed a ceoncurrent resolution to adjourn in May.

'Our auctioneers were rnticulay 41aPpy in dis. posing of their various odds and ends. Much valuable property went off under their hammers. One or two individuals seemed possessed with the insane idea, that, by using their throats as avenues for a torchlight procession or two, they would have a good time. We are happy to say that the torchlights arrived safely without acci dent, that is they reached the stopping place in good flame, but alas, the after effect was sad, for flickering but a short time, the blaze went out, and the smoke became so overpowering that, the unfortunates, with shai-y knees and swimming eyes, confessed that the snyoke was too much for them, and went home whipped. T#E EGa QUr.sroi.-Ifide not your light under a bushel we are ejjoined, and an old dutch fork lady noticing our egg answer to "young wife," hst week, acting under this wholesome injunction, kindly gives further information on so important a subject. She says hens should be set in the morning, in preference to afternoon or evening, for the reason, that chick ens from the former plan, hatch better and grow faster, at least a week earlier, are fatter and eat sweeter. If tids he true, we made a sad blunder in setting our good old turkey hen on last Saturday night. And again that all seed should be put in the ground in the morning. There again we bare done wrong.
