They poured the oil from a tin can upon coals of fire on the hearth. The can exploded, throwing the burning oil upon their clothing. They were soon wrapped in flames from head to foot, and were burned in a most horrible manner. The younger one died six hours afterwards. The older is still~ living, but there is very little chance of its recovery. SCRAPS FROM CAL~DWELL TOWNsHIP. Everybody drying fruit, and there is a plenty of it.

C., August 22.-According to pre vious announcement, Colonel J. N. Lipscomb, of Newberry, addressed a large and appreciative audience in the Court House to-day, in the interest of the Patrons of Husbandry, an order of which he is the Worthy Grand Master. I will not attempt to give even an out line of the very sensible speech made on the occasion. He showed in strong colors and by close logic, the aims and advantages of the order. His illustra tions used in argument were apt and cobclusive, and no doubt awakened an interest in favor of the or der, hereto fore unknown in this section of the State.-Journed of Commerce. Capt. Lipscomb also organized a Po mona Grange in Darlington County the 21st inst., and delivered an address to the Grangers that is highly compli mented by the Darlington papers. DEATH FRO3I HYDROPHOBIA.-On the morning of July 1st, Tommie, six teen year old son of Mr. C. C. Teague, living three miles from town, was bit ten by a cat while feeding his father's horses. The cat, which had always been very gentle and kindly disposed, followed the young man to the stable, as it was accustomed to do, and while lie was putting corn in the trough seized him by the hand, planting his teeth deep in the flesh, and retained his hold till lie returned to the house and his father choked it off. The wound was cauterized by a physician an hour or two after wards. The young man went about as usual till last Friday, the 24th instant, when the first sympt~oms of hydrophobia appeared. He found it impossible to swallow anything. This was followed by co,nvulsions, occurring at intervals of' about two or three hours. A breath ABOUT TIHE TOWN AND COUNTY. Good rains last week. The Episcopal Church has a new or gan loft. Don't the citizens of Helena want a new county? Next month you can cat oycsters. There's an r in it. Remember the Rail Road meeting next Monday, saleday.

The w'arm weather is nearly over, but when we think of the winter wood bills we almost wish it wasn't. A wagon load of fine sweet potatoes (new) from the country, sold in town Thursday for 81.25 per bushel. Mr. Lang Ruff brought a watermelon into town Wednesday that weighed fifty pounds.

Not less than a hundred persons visited it Sunday afternoon. STONE HILL NOTES. The crops in this section are suffering at present from drought, being four weeks since any rain. Cotton shedding badly. The wheat crop, on account of the ny, is scarcely an average. Oat crop very short. Farmers, however, are all cheerful, happy and contented under "Home Rule." Last week all the roads around here were worked and put in good condition for traveling. Farmers and their hands are working together peaceably, and are getting on finely this year. The hands work well, and.in return get treated well and paid up promptly. I have not heard of any stealing in this corner lately-not even a chicken nor an egg this year, The only reason that I can give is, honesty; for wve are not very particular in locking our out buildings-some not even their kitchens. Some farmers have lost some of their best hogs, during the last few wveeks, from cholera. I regret that the cholera has killed a great many chickens here this summer. I am neither an editor nor a minister, but yet I have a slight relish for fried chicken. There are some cases of sickness here, but none serious; some fever, but most ly colds. We have an abundance of fruit this season. Bome trees have 1oo much, they are breaking dowvn. We here in the Stoney Hills live mostly now upon peach pie, milk and butter. The ladies are busily engaged in drying, canning and preserving fruit for winter and spring. From the number of young men that are seen riding towards home early Monday morning, and from other signs, the ministers here will have a lively time next fall. T.

WomAN's RIGHTs.-One who has long studied this absorbing subject now presents to the women of our country the result of his investigations. He is happy to say that he has at last discovered "Woman's Best Friend." It is adapted especially to those cases where the womb is disordered, and will cure any ir regularity of the "menses." Dr. J. Bradfield's Female Regulator acts like a charm in "whites," or in a sudden check of the "monthly courses," from cold, trouble of mind or like causes, by restoring the dis charge in every instance. So also in chronic cases its action is prompt and decisive, and saves the cons titution from countless evils and premature decay. This valuable preparation is for sale at $1.50 per bottle by all respectable Druggists in the land. Prepared and sold by Dr. J. Bradfield, Atlanta, Ga. A thousand women testify to its merits. MARIETTA, GA., March 22, 1870. Messrs.

It is very dry at Glet,n's-the wea ther not the spring-no rain having fallen in four weeks, consequently crops are suffering, and it is thought by some of the Solons that cotton will fall off at least half. Corn is fine. The drought, however, has neither affected the supply of water in the spring nor the flow of spirits in the guests. The first is pure and copious as ever, always suggestive of Epsom Salts, Magnesia, &c.; the other gay, festive, delightful. How different the scene some eight years back under old A.'s administra tion, whose table could only seat eigh teen persons. If the nineteenth man applied for accommodation he was denied, no mat.r if he came in angelic guise and from regions celes tial, like the wandering Jew he must go on. Well do we remember the old couple, man and wife, who drove up at nightfall on one occasior, begging to be taken in. A. had eighteen already, and of course they were refused ; luck ily for them, they found shelter and rest close by. Vastly different is it now, a pleasant and comfortable change has come over the spirit of the dream. Old things are done away, and new things have taken their places. Would that the visitors, of that time were here now-cabin holders as well as board ers, they would be delighted to note the improvement. The Messrs. Simp son. father and son, are untiring in their efforts to render their guests happy and they have succeeded-every one seems satisfied, and especially after arising from the table. A good break fast or dinner has the happiest in 'uence on man's heart-stomach we should have said-and no better proof f this is needed than to see two or tree score of amen and women emerg ng from the dining hall, the one com placently pulling down thecir vests and ently rubbing the parts so compla ently affected; the others with arms racefully akimbo and hands pressed o waists,. which seem disposed to re el against the constraints of their arrow confines, endeavoring to keep hings in proper trim. Everybody on the hill is satisfied with exception that the time- between upper and breakfast is too long. This arises from the desire to accommodate the ladies, who have no love for "catch ing the early wormi," and consequently ndulge the delightful (to them) ope ation of several foldings of the arms f mornings for a little more slumber nd sleep. The old fogies here object o this, but it is pleasant to see their wrinkles disappear as the bell rings out a generous though late invitation about nine o'clock. Newberry has not only been more largely represented at Glenn's than any other county, but can claim the honor f exhibiting the best looking men, and to cap the climax the lion of the season is our Mollohon hero E. S. C. He is good at anything and everything -the Spelling Bee would have proved failure but for him, as he avers that e can spell a word in two ways and thinks Webster far behind the age. A. pleasant little match of this kind came off on. Monday night, in which the ladies by feminine hocus pocussing came off victors, even -turning down our champion. He is invaluable to the ladies and so is Willie E., without them they would be sad. eyed and dull, ad that would be a pity indeed, there are so many charming fair ones here. t is seldom that one sees so many pretty women assembled together, and what will be the final effect on C. is haard to say, but as he is a married man it is hoped that he will be able to pull through safely. Your humble servant and S. C. M. who lives over the branch when at home, both recog nizing the duty we owe to those we have left behind, retire to the safe shelter of cabin No. 2 left, when the fire of bright eyes becomes too dan 2erous-we have been there before. The cabins are more desirable as sleeping apartments than is the hotel for the quiet they afford, and for that reason wve advise all who may yet come here to choose them instead. On Sunday last the visitors, and such others of the country round who were apprised of the fact, were treated to an eloquent discourse in the hotel dining room by the Rev. M. A. Chrietberg. For that occasion an ipromptu choir was arranged from the splendid material on hand, and he singing afforded would have put o blush that of choirs of greater pre tentions to excellence. Of course the' Miss K., Miss E. S., and Miss J., the latter of Newberry, have flne voices. So prominent has C. become that we have to bring him once iuo:e on the carpet by saying that though he was only given three days ere he would be back in Newberry, he is here yet ; this is attributable to the great femi nine attractions at Glenn's, but for this he would have been gone long ago. Indisposition kept us indoors the best of yesterday and to-day, but it is not re gretted, as it has shown us the very best parts of some of our friends, S. C. M., Maj. Peter H.,and others; their attention and sympathy are highly appreciated we never knew before half the kindness of their natures. Quite an influx of new arrivals to-day. They reached here, unfortunately for Mr. B., who was des perately hungry, just as the bell was in the act of sounding for dinner. Necessarily, there was a delay of some ten minutes, and B. said, "did you ever," and sighed for a lodge in some vast wilderness where he might cook his own rice and have it hot. Aside from three meals a day, sleep ing and visits to the spring, the amuse ments are cribbage, whist, ten-pins, spelling bees, reading, Masonic inita tions, spirit rappings, etc., the ladies being prominent in all except the two first, and "hop-scotch" and other inter esting games introduced by E. S. C. these though are not likely to become popular, and we must fear that the originator will lose ground. We omitted mention in our last that Mrs. Ward, another representative of Newberry, is here, spending a few weeks with our good old friend Mrs. Bobo at the cross roads-her friends will be pleased to learn that she is well and that her daughters are even more charming in their developing woman hood than when we saw them last in girlhood. If there is a widow here we have not ascertained the fact. It is strange and unaccountable-never before have we passedso many days from home with out enjoying the witching charms qf one or more of this-interesting class. It is a consoling reflection, though, that that pleasure was ours on the trip up to Spartanburg, but the fates so ordered that we had to leave her behind at mine host Calcutt's Hampton House. She is in good hands-a capital house is kept by Calcutt. Carrier, Mills & Carson will convey the traveler comfortably and at moder ate rates from Spartanburg to Glenn's, and like good business men they are al ways ready and properly prepared for that purpose. Their stable is the largest in the place, and their stock adequate in number and condition for all emer gencies. This is the experience of all who have tried them. With these de sultory paragraphs, we are, as ever, yours. FOR THE HERALD. Sheep, Goats, Turnips. RosEn3oRo', L AcGREYs Co., S. C., Aug. 2 1st, 187'7. MESsSsRs. EDIroRs : I wrote an article oni 7th July, on the importance of the pea vine as a fertilizer to our planters, sowed after harvesting small grain, as well as rearing sheep, goats and turnips for winter food, but it was delayed until too late for sowing peas and therefore was not published in the IIERALD. I, now, would suggest to our planteis to save plenty of seed peas for the ensuing year to sow as a fertilizer, and buy sheep and goats, if they have none, and rear as many as may be practicable on their waste lands. I. have been a planter and raiser of live stock since 1822 up to 1868, and know of what I am writing. Land owners urge as an objection to the rearing of .shmeep in this State, that the sheep-kill ing dogs and hungry negroes render it im practicable. They can obviate the obstacle, as to dogs, by memorializing our next Legis lature to enact a law, taxing every dog but one, on each plantation, and on every resi dence in town or city, at least ten dollars, and requiring ownersof such dogs to confine it to his enclosure, except when following him or his agent, and also in the event of live stock being killed by said dog or dogs running at large to hold him responsible in the amount of ten times the value of such stock killed by said dog or .dogs. The planter, I think, could after such stringent law was eniacted, be safe in his investment in sheep, goats and hogs. I clipped from the News and Courier a slip in which it was stated that in the County of Darington, the valuation of the dogs amounts to nearly four times as much as that of sheep and goats. As to the latter they are' said to be jumpers. A reliable gentleman in Richiland County said to me last year, that his goats never jumped his fences. He kept theum running with his cattle, and they became so fond of them they scarcely ever left them, and when they did, they never rested until they found them. The food of cattle, sheep and goats differs in some degree, and therefore the same pasture will suffice for all, but should be exchanged for another every two or three months alternately. All three can be penned at night in the same lot. The drop pings from sheep and goats will fully repay their cost, feed and attention. If the whole flock amounts to one hundred head, an old man and dog should be employed to attend them. I1 knew a planter who never fed his sheep or goats, and I noticed them in fair condition by feeding, as he told me, on green pine leaves and what green grass they could fin d in large tufts of sedge grass, and salting them once a week. Turnips should be r4ised in quantities to feed them through the Winter months, if intended for market, or for the table. The old Winter variety, also the Ruta Baga, and Aberdeen, I found the best for Winter use. They keep well through Winter by stacking like the sweet potato, or they can be fed to sheep and cattle by digging them, washin'g and cutting them in pieces to suit. Or sheep can be penned on a small lot at a time by moveable fences, easily done. Turnip seed can be sown as late as the 10th of September; earlier, better and yield abundantly on a rich soil, plowed orspaded deeply, and cultivated with one plowing and hoeing. Their yield is greater, when well cultivated, than any esculent produced in our climate, except the beet,.which should also be produced here for stock. Our root crops are too much neglected. Potatoes, turnips and beets require less labor than the cereals, and their yield is at least ten fold. One of rmy neighbors produced 426 bushels of s weet potatoes on one acre of poor sandy land, which would not, perhaps, have pro duced more th.au ten bushels of corn. I have seen it stated that 800 to l,000I bush els of turnips and~ beets have been produced1 on one acre of laud somewhere in the Uni te d States--perhaps more. Stay here. We have the best Governor in the United Sitates. Help him to build up our old poor State. Messrs. Editors, if you think the above worthy a place in your valuable journal and have space, you can give it to your readers, or condemn it to the waste basket, where many others have found a resting place; never to see the lightaga~n. Pardon FOR THE HERALD. MOLLOHON, Aug. 17, 1877. MEsSRS. EDITORS: Starting out on Thursday, the 16th, to see the crops in this neighborhood, and hearing of a picnic at Wicker's Spring, on Indian Creek, we made in that direction with a few friends. We soon arrived at the place, and found good seats and a long table in a nice grove. The picnic was given for the benefit of a Sunday School. The little fellows soon began to arrive with the Superintendent, Mr. Jenkins, and Teachers' McCullough, Baker and others. After all had ar rived Rev. J. D. Shirey was invited to address the Sunday School, which he did by showing the boys and girls what they could and what they should do. He was followed by Mr. G. B. Cromer in a very eloquent address to the older heads; after which the baskets were pitched from every direction. In a short time the long table was filled to overflowing with all kinds of good things. After all were through-and all made good hands-there was plenty for as many more. Mr. Editor, when I saw the quantity of fried chick en I wished you had been there. It was pleasant to be at such a gathering. Everybody was in high glee. Not a drop of the "woe begone" to addle the head. The Renwicks and Carlisles should be proud of their tenants, from the looks of their crops on Indian Creek. MOLLOHON. [The above was written for the last issue, but was delayed in the mail. ED.] A Result of Obstructed Diges tion. I mong the hurtful consequences of obstruct ed digestion, is the impoverishment of the blood, and since a deteriative condition of the vital fluid notonly produces dangerous organ ic weakness, but, according to the best medi cal authorities, sometimes causes asphyxia,.it is apparent that to improve the quality of the blood by promoting digestion and assimila tion, is a wise precaution. Hostetter's Stom ach Bitters is precisely the remedy for this purpose, since it stimulates the gastric juices, conquers those bilious and evacuative irreg ularities which interfere with the digestive processes, promotes assimilation of the food by the blood, and purifies as well;as enriches it. The signs of improvement in health in consequence of using the Bitters are speedily apparent in an accession of vigor, a gain in bodily substance, and a regular and active performance of every physical function. 31-tf.
