CoINCI DENCE.--A rather singular coinci, Ienee occurred in this place la,t week. The 'tesbyteri:an congregaion nho were looking 'or a vi;It and set mon on Friday night from he R-v. Dr. M.artin, of Abbeville, were dis Wpointed, in that he failed to arrive in time. n the meantime, the R!r. Win.

Both congreca*ions vere edified by the discourses delivered on he Sabbath. A IkPs l Y. -f% st Situ!d:ty was one of lie liveFest, busiest days we have wi:nessed n mtonths.

ROUGH'-That there is a divinity which ;hapes our ends-rough-who can doubt? rbe local took a day last week-a whoale, >cautifull, sunshiny day -for recreation and est from toils and turmoils. He went ,-ta ng, as the most deli:thtful way, and the reest from labor, of all so-called enjoyments, n which a whole day could be spent. We rent. Afterw.ards we thotught it was hardly aecessary to tell our friends any thing about tow we passed the day-suffRcient to thec day ras the knowledge we had of it. Sime 'olks, however, are wondrous ingnisiive, tn-I also persuasive, and the request has >eetnmadle that we report on thte subjec 'ifter mature refle'ction, we respectfully sutb nit the following: We went to the Enorce, h w'd a splendti:l i'ne-going there-and also returning - W'vhile there it was not so good. It was pos tively the reverse of good. Arrivingr early, md full of harigh.anticipations, we b.aited a took, and with baited brea:h fished, that is, angled, without catching a fi5h. After an tour, went for another hole; it was difficult f access, and was not appro)achaed without ~roaning-s in the spirit and anathemas. WVhat with cane tbrakes, briars :tnd mu], the arspiration streamed freely; recreation and -est thought we, is not to be found getting it that hole, but then we'll catch a whopping mig fish, so we angled atg.tin, and this time aught one. Thme size of that fi h was a mar rel, how it could possibly have lived in so arge a -tream of water, is one of the mys eries of nature, and it was the only one here besides. Could not get another bite Went for another hole, and met a native who advised us to go down stream, we were then heading up. Went down through the ;ame tangled canes, briars and mu], and ~ontinued to go down till tired nature refused o go further. How we ever got back, we au't tell in a brief article like this. It was welve o'clock-took dinner, and then took deart to try our loco-notive powers once more, and this time on the other side of the stream. Wind blowing stiffly from N. E., :hought we'd catch a few on Western slope; nore canes, briars, mud, and no fish. Only simpleton would have gone on any farther; se knew better-in fact our legs gave warn ug that it would never do. So we got back -it took time though, and the labor was e. :essive. s'he d:ive home was splendid, and 2ad we not gone fishing, the enjoyment of It proves the adage that it's a bad wind which blows no good. We don't go to the Enoree any more, however. As a fishing place It won't do. Others may try it If they please; as for this local, Scott's creek will answer all purposes. A man can safely ap proximate what he wont catch there. Itwat decidedly the hardest day's work we ever did do, and the least profitable. All of which is respectfully submitted as a warning. Ladies go to McFall & Pool's, and look at those Shower and Back Curls, made of real hair, and Lace Collars and Lace Setts, new styles. 2t. PJPES AND FIsH Hoos.-Who ever sup posed that these two insignificant articles could be Droductive of unhappinesv; that they can and do entail trouble, the proprietor of Baltimore corner is a living witness. He philosophized a night or two ago thuslv on this interesting sulij.et. Pipes and fsh book; are a plague, and if they were not invented by the devil, after falling from his high es tale, they were by some fe!low who designed to work the overt-irow of honest, pain. I taking Cnfectiotter m,-n. I sometimes think the man h4d me in hi, eve the whole time Pipes particularly are a nuisance, and one of the troubles is their cheapness, and I another, that nearly always they are called for by two or three old women who only have five cents batween them, and who are not settled in mind how to lay out their money. I wi-h old Nick was the only smoker. On sale-day for instance. I can't i tell how m.iny of these old, interesting, bo hemian, female pipe hunters come in. What's prica? Five cents, marm Oh, dear, can't you let ur have two or three? as the case may be, according to the number. Three for ten cents, ladie<, and no money in them. Well, there they hang fire, look, turn over, pick, talk, and all the time valus, ble trade is waiting; they don't know how to work out the role of three, and finally lay out their money in lemon crackers, and I have to put my pipes back in the box. I tell you gentlemen, Job never was so tried; that ancient sufferer never kept a Confec tionery, or tried to sell pipes, and the old women did not smoke in those days, or i is tory would have revealed something striking on the ,uljecr. Just here an interruption took place, and we left 0 r synp-ithies are much exercised on his account, and we beg that the people who smoke will bear in mind, that pipes are pipes, and have a price.
