Brief Mentions. There is a negro woman in Pitt county who gave birti to triplets; the tirst was whtie, the second mulatto, and the~ third black. The other day a Charles county girl offered to let a countryman kiss her for five eq'ts. "I gad," exelaimed the bucolie outb, "that's darn cheap, if a feller only bad the money. Two centenarians have died in South Carolina, the past few days, Mrs. Roseuburg, one hundred and three vear. Rtiehard Cattrell. one hundred aud nineteen vear;. The New York Herald declares that "every mau killed in New Orleans will represent an addition of one hundred thousand votes in favor of the next Dt-mocratic candidate f0r the Presi deniev. A Georgia negro who bet ten dol lars that General Washington con manded the Federals at Bull Run, handed the money over with the re mark, Well, di, yere hist'rv bisness is all mixed up. nohow." There will be only two eclipses this year. both of the sun ; the fir;t. total, April 6th, invisible in the United States; the second, September 29th, and partly visible in the Eastern por tion ot North America.. Col. Sai-uel Pike, who it is said to have been the oldest editor in the United States, died at Leesburg. Ohio, on the 15th ultimo. le is said to have been connected with more news papers, during his long and eventful life, than any other man in thu world. The nessage of Mayor Wickham, of New York. says the debt of the City of New York is one hundred and forty-two million dollars, and that the expenses for the current year will be thirty-seven millions.

Rliable estimates put the cotton crop of 1874 at a little over 3,500. 010 bales. The yield per acre is re ported less than in 1872. In most of the States the we-ther for ripening and gathering the top corn has been very favorable. The reports are near lv unanimous in stating that the pro portion of lint to seed is large. The ecngress of the United States has voted 155,752,370 acres of the public domain to aid northern enter prises, while to southern enterprises it has given but 3 1,718,4 5 acres. Con gress has voted in money to enter prises in the north, $92.757.274,83, while the south has received $5,951,. 400,52. Truly the yankee govern muent is the best the sun ever shown on, to-yankees. In the meantime, how much has that government stolen from its citizens of the southern states? The necrology of the yeer just pass. ed away does not contan so many dis tinguished men as that of 1873, but thelist is still a long one, and contains many names linked with our political and social history.

A committee of eLizens of Edge s n- field waited ou the Governor oni Tues- i day last for the purpose of acquainting I 0'a id him with the attitude assumed by f, Tennant and his colored cumpany of f militia. who lately marched to the town and got possession of the arms and ammunition taken from the some time since, and who were march ing and drilling to the alarm of the t ie people in theirneighborhoed. The in I terview is described as a pleasant and re ts satisfactory one, the Governor assuring b 0- the committee that such conduct was o ie reprehensible and without sanction of n- law, and that steps should be at once taken that the arms be given up, as t his desire was that harmony and peace a should reign.

All efforts to subdue the fire s were unavailing, and not until the U bbuildings ou both sides of the street ty in the nmain business portion of the town, with the exception of two only, s t were' consumed, did the destructione me cease. TIhe Kne officee was also a a burned. The loss is estimated at .11 about $12.000, on which there was I but partial insurance.

The infamous n- action of Gecn. Sheridan, and its en al dorsement by tIhe administration, has j ill aroused the whole country, anad publics onieetings have been held denouncing ~ d ~in the most earniest and emphatice I, terms an infamy which has no parallel r- in history, and which calls for an ex-t d pression of feeling from an outraged Speople all over the commonwealth. a,.

No 1e greater indignity could have been in-1 r- fieted and no greater crime perpetra *t- ted, and the name of Sheridan willt re become odious to the American nation.t es The New York Tonaes calls him the se Chief Executioner of Grant, and comn stpares his course rightly to that of a of Cromwell in his treatment of Ireland. a Such a document, says the Times, as ofSheridan's dispatch, has never been Sseen in anmy country under constittu e tional governmnent, and it would seem Dt as if ti-e world has gone back two or s m three hundred years in theory and t spractice of government.

The power heretofore exercised by be governor and comnptroller.general I es limited to the fiscal year eniding I )ctober 31, 1874. Inasmuch as the collection did not egin in any county till the 30th of ovember, the time will be extended 1l the 30th of January.

Cotton. Under the above caption the Column ia Pwa ic makes the following wise I d timely suggestions to farmers. he editor of the 1u"nix is ut ght, and our farmer friends will, do I el to ponder the advice and catrry ut the suggestions offered. They ave tried the old and ruinous systems g en:ough. and it is about time they augurate a change. The example fforded in the success of 3Ir.

The Phxnat.c says: We have now entered upon another 'car, and our farmers and planters till soon begin to prepare for crops. They will be wise if they lay it down s an inflexible rule, first, to solicit rom their land all the products neces ary to sustain life that it is capable f yielding, or that are required; and. econdly, to model their cotton crop pon that o f Mfr.

But the land was in. erfet order to receive the seed. thor uahly manured, the best seed used. nd judicious, garden-like culture, dopted. 31arvelous as was his sue ess, it is possible to achieve it again, a perhaps surpass it. "Notwith-t tanding" says C. WV. Howard. in the ast Rural carolinian, "the well-est'b. ished result of 3Mr. Warthien's ccl" srated acre of cotton, I do not believe { hat the possibilities of an acre of cot on have been reached. When expe- r inental science has proved precisely r~hat is the fertilizer, and what pro- 1I lortions that will produce the greatest mount of lint to the stalk of cotton. nd when market garden culture is .sd, the maxinmum will probably be C arned." The nverage farmer may _ Lot dream of equalling or approxi tating this grand achievement. but it a lesson for him, nevertheless, it hould teach him the way to get out of Lie old rule of getting onuly abale of' otton from three to five acres. The rst requisite is to appreciate his pres at backward position, due to neglect f home comforts and requirements ad waste of labor upon boundless >tton area. Raise supplies sufficient ad to spare.
