Brief Mentions. There is a nearm woman in Pitt county who gave birth to triplets; the first was whtie, the second mulatto, and the third black. The other day a Charles county girl offered to let a countryman kiss ier for five cents. "I gad," exclaimed the bucolie youth, "that's darn cheap, if a feller only had the money. Two centenarians have died in South Carolina, tbe past few days, Mrs. Rosen'uurg, one hundred and three years. Richard Cattrell, cne hundred and nineteen years.

There will be only two eclipses this year, both of the sun ; the first, total, April 6th, invisible in the United States; the second, September 29th, and partly visible in the Eastern por tion of North America. Col. Samuel Pike, who it is said to have been the oldest editor in the United States, died at Leesburg, Ohio, on the 15th ultimo. He is said to have been connected with more news papers, during his long and eventful life, than any other man in the world. TLc message 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.

Reliable estimates put the cotton crop of 1874 a little over 3,500, 000 bales. The yield per acre is re ported less than in 1872. In most of the States the weather for ripenog and gathering the top corn has been very favorable. The reports are near ly unanimous -in stating that the pro portion of lint to seed is large. The congress of the United States has voted 155,752,370 acres of the publie'domain to aid northern enter prises, while to southern enterprises it has given but 31,718,485 acres. Con gress has vote~d 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 ment 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 year just pass ed away does not contain so many dis tinguished men as that of 1873, but the list is still a long one, and contains many names linked with our political and social history. Among them are Charles Samner, ex-President Fillmore, ex-Senator Wigfall, Chief Justices Perley, of New Hampshire, and Thompson, of Pennsylvania; Hon. Eizra Cornell, Mayor Havemeyer, Ad miral Buchanan, President Thompson, of the Pennsylvania Railroad; Rev. Dr. Kirk, Elder Knapp, Rev. Carles ton, Slicer and Marvin, Charles Astor Bristed, N. S.

Carlotta Patti to the editor of the Birmingham Gazette, with reference to her refusal recently to sing at a concert in the Town Hall, Bir mingham ; "Dear Sir-I have pre served too good a remembrance of the kindly and sympathetic welcome ac corded to me in Birmingham, eleven years ago, not to think myself called upon to giv sme explanation to the public in reference to the concert of the 26th of November. I did indeed think it strange. that under my name on the placards, as well as on th, .ro grammne, should have been placed the words, 'Sister of Adelina Patti.' Though but a twinkling star by the side of the brilliant planet called the Marchioness de Caux, I am neverthe less too proud of the humble reputa tion which Europe and America have confirmed, to allow anybody to try to eclipse my name by the dangerous approximation of that of my dear sister, to whom I am bound by the tenderest affection. Desiring, how ever tiat the public of Birmingham should know how grieved I am that it should have been the undeserving victim of an incident which should have been confined to the artist and managers only, I beg that you will have the kindness to state that I shall shortly reappear in Birmingham, and tLat it is my formal intent.ion to devote the proceeds of the concert to the relief of the most necessitous among the poor of the town. Kindly excuse, sir, the length of my letter, written for my own justification, and accept the expression of my most distin guishedeconsideration." Corrox STEALING AND HOUsE BURNIN.-We learn that seven bales of cotton were stolen, a short time since, from the premises of Capt. G. W. Sullivan. Two negroe~s upon whom suspicion rested were arrested and lodged in jail, but have since been bailed out. About the same number of bales were also stolen from the premises of Capt. Win.

It cireulates extensively, and as an Advertising medium offers unrivalled ad- C vantges. For Terms, see first page. Catalogue of Seeds. We have just received from Messrs. Chase Bros. & Woodward their Cata logue of Flower and Vegetable Seeds, for which we are very much obliged. It is certainly the handsomest of its 1 kind that we have seen, and not only I ornamental but useful, as it not only I gives a classified list of vegetables and t flowers,but illustrations. The beautiful 1 colored plates of flowers, of which there are many, are pretty and attrac tive, and looking at them one is almost led to think he is in the midst of t Spring. The price of this catalogue is only ten cents, and we advise the reader to send to the gentlemen above named, whose post office is Rochester, N. Y., and get one, that a proper selection of seeds may be made. Gov. Chamberlain Promises Reform. A committee of ei.izens of Edge field waited on the Governor on Tues day last for the purpose of acquainting him with the attitude assumed by Tennant and his colored company of militia, who lately marched to the town and got possession of the arms and ammunition taken from them some time since, and who were march ing and drilling to the alarm of the people in their neighborhood. The in terview is described as a pleasant and satisfactory one, the Governor assuring I the committee that such conduct was < reprehensible and without sanction of law, and that steps should be at once taken that the arms be given up, as his desire was that harmony and peace should reign. Governor Chamber lain's action in this matter is a grati fying evidence that his promis3 to help the work of reform was not idly Destructive Fires. A disastrous fire occurred in Orange burg on the 5th, by which nearly all of the business portion of the town was destroyed. The fire originated through the carelessness of a colored girl leaving a lighted* candle in the kitchen, the flame of which 2com munnicated to the papering on the wall. All efforts to subdue the fire were unavailing, and not until the buildings on both sides of the street in the main business portion of the town, with the exception of two only, were consumed, did the destruction cease. The News office was also burned. The loss is estimated at about 8125,000, on which there was but partial insurance. Many persons lost everything they had and are now penniless as well as homeless. This makes the third time the town has been burned out-the first in 1854, the second in 1865, by Sherman, and the present. A fire is also reported occurring at Hodges', on the G. & C. R. R., which destroyed the store of Messrs. McGhee & (Cason, together with the two ad jacent-the one occupied by Barmore & Brownell, and the other newly fiuished, but unoccupied. The loss is estimated at four or five thousand dollars.; no insurance. The Louisiana Infamy. We give a summarized account in another eclumn of the humiliating condition of Louisiana. The infamous action of Gen. Sheridan, and its en dorsement by the administration, has aroused the whole country, and public mee*ings have been held denouncing in the most earnest and emphatic terms an infamy which has no parallel in history, and which calls for an ex pression of feeling from an outraged people all over the commonwealth. In sublime contrast shows the for bearance of the people, a spirit which will enlist the sympathy of the bitter est enemies of the South, and com mand the respect of the world. No greater indignity could have been in flicted and no greater crime perpetra ted, and the name of Sheridan will become odious to the American nation. The New York Times calls him the Chief Exccutioner of Grant, and com pares his course rightly to that of Cromwell in his treatment of Ireland. Such a document, says the Times, as Sheridan's dispatch, has never been seen in any country under constitu tional government, and it would seem as if tl:e world has gone back two or three hundred years in theory and practice of government. It is a con solation to know that the pleasure of turning his guns loose, and riding down and kiing was denied SherLi|! Authors and Printers. N. P.'

They are tried the old and ruinous systems i ong enough, and it is about time they naugurate a change. The example fforded in the success of Mr. Warthen is worthy of imitation, and even if at irst so great success is not realized, yet an important step will be taken, ad one which will result in future good. The Phenix says: : We have now entered upon another Ii year, and our farmers and planters a will soon begin to prepare for crops. phey will be wise if they lay it down is an inflexible rule, first, to solicitg from their land all the products neces- e sary to sustain life that it is capable ~ of yielding, or that are required; and, o secondly, to model their cotton crop pon that of Mr. Warthen, of Georgia. He produced five bales of cotton to the acre, and with very little labor - fter planting. But the land was in perfect order to receive the seed, thor- 1 aughly manured, the best seed used, and judicious, garden-like culture adopted. Marvelous as was his suc-J ess, it is possible to achieve it again, axd perhaps surpass it. ".Notwith- ti standing," says C. W. Howard, in the gi Last Rural C'arolinian, "the well-estab. ished result of Mr. Warthen's ele brated acre of cotton, I do not believe ( that the possibilities of an acre of cot ton have been reached. When expe~ r rimental science has proved precisely what is the fertilizer, and what pro- T portions that will produce the greatest amount of lint to the stalk of cotton, md when market garden culture is sed, the maximum wvill probably be C4 earned." The average farmer may _ rot dream of equalling or approxi-! ating this grand achievement, but it s a lesson for him, nevertheless.
