Wednesday, December 4, 18g. To New York Advertising Agents. Two-thirds of the propositions made us by advertising Agents at the North are on such low terms that it is impossible to entertain cr accept them The character, too, of some of the adverti6emews are objectionable. As we are almost daily in receipt of some such propositions, and neither have the time or inclina,ion to answer and state reasons for not zecepting, we make the notice, that when no attention is paid to letters of this kind, the gentlemen will understand that their fa vors are not appreciated, for one or the other ot the following reasons : First, that -with one or two exceptions-we have been egregiously taken in in the past, and here after quarterly in advance payment must in variably accompany an order; and second, the advertisement must be unexceptionable, gift concerts, &c., will not be published. tf. Vick's Floral Guide. Unce more are we indebted to Mr. Jas. Vick, the great Rochester Florist, for a copy of his Floral Guide, for the year 1873. It is most artistically de signe, and beautiful as a specimen of typogr..;hy, aid we are pleased to say that it wiil be issued hereafter four times instead of once a year, and at the very small price of 25 cents. Send 10 cts. for a copy, and see what this beautiful Guide contains, and the valuable infor mation given by Mr. Vick, who is expe rienced in all that relates to landscape gardening, fruit, vegetable or flower cul ture. Address Jas. Vick, Rochester, N.Y. Lessons from Adversity. In the burning of Chicago the Donel son pavement, made of blocks of wood, cemented, was proved a complete failure. It burned readily, and was a terrible oar to the work of the firemen and the pas sage of citizens. And so the Mansard roof, in Boston. It will not do, and the Boston authorities have prohibited them in the future. What good will come of the epizooty ? Shall it result in a better hygiene for the noble and useful animal on which it now preys? And will it lead to a greater economy in steam and motors generally ? Such for instance as the dummy engine for street cars, &c.? An Interesting Hymenial. The Jun,ior of the Abbeville Press and Banner gives a pleasant account of a re cent finish of or.e of Cupid's little jobs, in the marriage of Mr. Robert G. Wil liams of Newberry County, to Lidie S., t'..- accomplished, beautiful and only daughter of Colonel Robert McKay, of Greenville. The marriage ceremony was performed in the Baptist Church of Greenville, by Rev. Dr. Williams, and the setting of the picture around the fair bride and happy groom was made up of twelve fair and dazzlingly dressed bridesmaids and as many weli-appointed grooms. After the ceremony at the Colonel's, the occasion is described as being as happy as a marriage bell, and the bride beinzg the only child, no ex pense had been spared to render it so The number of bridal presents was very large and in good taste. The junior of the 'Press' is right in being happy, and the newly wedded pair will accept our felicitations.1 Agricultural Bureau Cotton ieport for No vember Prodct'n of iint Cot. p. acre.

Weare not positive, but believe that in Charleston and Columbia, and other cities, Express packages are delivered as soon as they are received. B-y dloing this. the Company are indeed express car riers, otherwise they are not. Mr. A.j has a package of perishable goods sent him by his friend B., which, to insure qiuick transit and immediate delivery, is sent by Express, but he is not looking for or expecting anything, and having no bineflss at the depot, knows not of the package, and it may be days ere he does, and the consequence is it is valueless. (lr documents of important character, which demand immediate attention are sent through the same channel--but a day or two elapses, and valuable time is lost. A. may stroll down about the Ex press Qflie and by accident get the ar ticles in time, or he may not and there ly sustains a loss. The Express Compa ny- is no more expeditious then than the slow andI sure hecight. We have heard of no complaints, and don't know whether any body's oranges have rotted, fish havhe spoiled, or papers been deiayed, and don't know but that everybody is in 'he habit of going or sending to inquire if there is anything by Express, but we do want to know if the Company, through its agent, is not bound to deliver to, or notify, persons, when anything conies for thetm. In the same way might Tele graph operators keep all comnmutications till called for. One is as reasonable as the other. We ask for information, and ats Nesvberry is a city, ought not theI Comipany to have one of those beau tifully painted wagons, withi a spotted dog scat ed near the drive'-, the whole drawn by a spanking pair of horses, and an office nof rdei very un in toi;vn. Death of Horace Greeley. This distnguished representative of the Eepublican pa tv departed this life last Thursday nihli. Mr. Greeley was a strong advocate of philanthopic theo ries, and a vigorous worker in the cause of the humanities. As our readers are aware he had b--t returned to his edito rial duties from an unsuccessful presi. dential contest, when he met with the loss of all lo.sses-that of a devoted wife. Mr. Greeley was a liberal and kind hearted man. And though he had crotchets and made errors in his jour nalistic life, they were errors of judg ment, which many men make. Ilis arge heart was generally right. Th1:e liberal principles he lately songht to bring to practical solution, werc wor.hy of suc cess, but they failed, ai d1 w i,h their defeat'has p.,.J a y their les'r. Mr. Greeley vas the ch.anpion of the argument is defence of tmancipation, and the treatment he received at the hands of the colortd peIl,le doubtless added much to the g-ief caused by the death ot hjii wife. IL was a trenchant writer and had retaried to his paper with a chastened and liberal s,.irit, but his race was run. Roanoke College-I This eminent educational institute, situated in the beautiful Roanoke Valley, in the town of Salem, on the Atlantic, Mississippi and Ohio Railroad, and at the terminus of the Valley Railroad, now under contract, offers advantages to the student. Salem is a refined, intelligent, moral community of about 2,000 inhabi tants, surrounded by charming moun tain scenery. The temperature of the country is equable, and its mineral wa ters healthful; the soil fertile and exempt from the causes of malaria. The 20th session of this College began on the 4th September. The session is divided into two terms, of five months each. Students tay enter at avy time. The expenses for a session of ten months, which includes board and tuition, is about $200. The College has a superior faculty with Rev. Dr. Bittle at its bead ; a well appointed Atheneum; Library contain ing 8,000 volumes; Chemical and Philo sophical Apparatus and Cabinet of Mine rals; Literary Societies, &c. A Normal Department for instructi)t in the Art of Teaching has been established. Book keeping and penmianship with all the fa cilities for a good business education are taught. Such studies as the student elects may be pursued. The course of studies at this College is of a high grade. The Epizooty. The universal prevalence of this dis ease and its rapid spread, proves conclu sively that it is an epidemic. A strunge form of catarrhal influenza, or influence of the weather. While in some places it is presented in an aggravated epidem ical form, in others it is sporadic. An epidemic may or may not be contagious or infectious. The wide sweep of this disease, and the singular forms, aggravations and modifications which occur in the devel opment of the malady, seems to warrant the opinion which obtains-and that is that the affection is caused by the disa p pearance from the atmosphmere of some one or more of its elements. The mild or virulent phase of the disease in different sections may be induced by this atmospheric vicissitude as it happens in greater or less degree, and disturbing the health of the entire animal kingdom. It is reported that several deaths have occurred among men who have, while treating their horses, permitted the exu dation to get into wounds upon their hands. The :ratter from this distemper is said to be poisonous to the human system. If this be true, too much care cannot be exercised. Moore's Rural New Yorker says: "Saline medicines are regarded the most useful in this disease. Either of the following will answer: Chlorate of potash, muriate of ammonia, or hypo sulphate of soda. As an anodyne to re lieve the cough, fluid extract of be!!adon na may be added. The propc'r dose or either of these medicines may be rubbed up with two or three ounces of honey or molasses, and these poured into the mouth from a small bottle or placed on the tongue with a spoon. Given in this way the medicine will be readily lapped up and easiiy swallowed. But little trou le is required to give it, and no danger of getting any mnedicine in the trachea will be incurred by t his mecthod." A. Liantard, V. S., says: There is in the treatment of the present epidemic a very essential point to be taken into consideration wrhicha relates to the hygie nie. attendance of the affectedl animnals. !est, as soon as possible, is e-ssential, as if the animal is kept at work the disease will progress and prove fat-il in a few hours. This is a part of the treatment I think veterinarians ought to insist upon very firmly. Good hygiene by the pro per and comfortable tetmperature of the stables, blanketing according to the con ition of the ambient atmosphere, banda ;ing of the extremities after a good rub bing: wiping of the nostrils with vine ar and water is also recommended. Leeding of course requires much atten tion and careful handlinag. and warm gruels, scalded mashes, and Oats mixed with llaxseed may be used. In a few :ases roots, carrots, turnips or fruits nay be given, according to the condi tion of the bowels. I would also high ly recommend proper ventilation, cleaning :>f the stables, of manure pits, wvhite washing of the stables, and the free use af dsinfectants. ECLECTIC MAGAZINE -Thme Decembaer number of the Eelectic brings to a worrhy~ dose one of the most attractive volumes of this tering periodical. After an exisrene if twenty-eight years, the magazine has left ut little foir the critic to stay of it, but we may mention amnong the increased attrac 'ions for the coming year that the Editorial epartents, including Literary News, home nd foreign, will be fuller and more com rehensive than ever before. Increased at enon will also be paid to Science, and the Editoir announces that he has facilities for ~ecuring the best papers from the ablest v-riters in this important field. Essays, re vews, Sketches, Serial and Short brories,! md Poetry will also receive due attention. eaders should patronize the Eclectic, and :he present is a favorable time to subscribe The December number has a copious and uried table of contents and is e mbellished vi:h a portrait of the late Dr. Norman Mc L.eod.

We are rejoiced at seeing that some reforia is being etfected. It is the inau guration of a better time, we hope. It farebodes something. At the last ses sion 5>7 pay certificates were issued. This legislative body commences lop ping off attaches. Tn the Senate they have agreed upon fifteen: 4 clerks at $5 a day each; 2 messengers at $2 per day, each; 4 pages at $1.50 per day each; five laborers at $3 per day each. In the house fhey have agreed upon 24. This is decidedly a mighty fall frum 56 7. Not as much as we would desire to compare with the past, but it does well and augurs well. It will be tle saving of many thousand dollars. We would, however, warn the honest mem bers of each house. to have an eye out, and see that the Treasurer of the State be (tily warned of the numbers and names. and that no additioual ones be foisted onl then other tl an those ap pointed. Keep yonr eye upon the wea ther *ide of your ship of State, Conser vatives and pure Republicans or some one will ,lip upon your lee side. See to this thing. Watch as well as retrench. Don't cease to look out for the breakers. There are other retrenchments or cut tings down of salaries essential-to wit: That of Schtool Cotmmtissionmers, the sum of $1000 is certatinty too much for this j County. Think of it-$32,000 at least< paid to Schmool Com:uissioners, where one thh d of thatt amiont is amply suffi cient to reitmnerate the holding of thist office ini mtot of the Counties. Good, copetentt men can be found in every County who wil! f:ithfully dhischarge the (duties appertaining~ for three hundred jI dollars, and think they were abundantly paid.I We would respect fully call the atten tion of the genttlemte of the house and senate to be fact, that too mouch is paid to Auditors and Treaw:rers. Thte present salary of thf Auditor of this County is $700. That of the County Treasurer will be this year $2500 commtlissions. Weigh this matter :$4,200 for two of fces, which any competent business man in the County can fill easily, and would willingly and gladly do, for two thousand doilairs. Let us see: Thirty two County Treasurcrs, paid at least $65,000. Thirty-two Auditors paid at least $54,000 ; aggregating $119,000, when $64,000 will obtain the services of thirty-two of the most competent men in the State, men who would do the du ty efficiently, ably and honestly. IIere would be a saving of $34,000. As to School Commnissioners, it could be done for $10,00", easily ; leaving $22,000 clear gain to the State,--formning ain ag gregate of $71,000, which could be ap- I propriated to the more worthy andi noble purpose of educating the blacks< and the wvhites of the State, than1 pocketed by a set of greedy officers. t What a wonderful amount of good could he done with this $76,000.

We publish the following letter in relation j the killing of our young and much lament d fellow-ci:izen, as there are o:her v%r,ions f the sad occurrence given: I;AlIRSVILLE, FLA , Nov. 27, 1872. IATRIAS URE, EsQ., Newberry, S. C. Dear Uncle: It becomes my painful duty o convey to you and family, the sad intelli ence ot thedeath of your son, John J. Barre. le and my brother, -James D. Barre, were ssassinated by a pary of desperadoes. 7hev were each shot at the same time and lied yesterday-they were shot on last Sat Lrday evening. I was telegraphed immedi aely of the fact. My father, Win. J. Barre, nyself and my mother, left immediately for hem. Barrsvilic is 46 miles (private con "eyauce) to Micanopy. When we reached hem on Sunday we found them siuking rap dly. John was shot in tha left arm and side, trin entirely shattered, lie was hit with 7 )alls and shot; his arm was taken off assoon is possible, but he sank rapidly until he died )n Monday. His dying moments were outhed by his relatives and friends, who vere endeared to him by his many noble raits of character. A braver, truer or no ler man never lived. To you and family I eg to offer my heartfelt sympathies in this ;adden and unexpected affliction, and to his jeloved mother I would say that his last vord was "mother", and his only desire to I tay here longer seemed for his parents. Ile iad every attention that could possibly have )een given to him-the best Surgeons the 3tate could afford-and any and everything hat could have been done for him was done. Iy brother James was shot in the breast vYith 9 balls-any of which would have kill d him. I had John buried at the Lutheran Ahurch near this place, in as nice manner as ould be done here. There were many of four old friends, who were here, who assist d and did all they could. If you think bes: L metallic coffin can be sent and I will carry iis remains at any time to you all. I would tave carried it to-day but could not get a metallic coffin, aud could not have taken him Pvithout one. Father was here and carried him's remains with him. Any information rou may wish in reference to the matter can )e obtained from him at his house near Lees rille, he will write you in reference to the natter anyway. Write me at Micanopy for my particulars you may wish. Why John tud Jim were killed by these men I cannot Ind out. They have escaped. I have offer d a reward for their arrest, and have done tud will continue to do all in my power to ,atch them. I will send, per Express, John's ;runk, and will also send a statement of the ndebtedness of his estate here-for surgical tid, funeral expenses, &c. I will pay,in fact, iave paid all expenses. John has been with me, enjoying himself inely, since September. A few days before lis death he left Micanopy fo: this place on L visit, was met here and killed by a party > regular radical outlaws, what for I cannot ;ay-no, nothio. Two nobler men thau lohn and Jim never lived or died. May they -est in peace! I will write you again in a few d.ys. I vould have telegraphed you when I found rohn was shot, bat he positively fotbid it, mnd begged that I should not. Your affectionate relative, JNO. J. BAR"E. FlmREs-'The dwelling ho'ise of lev. I.
