HYGIENE.-It is a well knoWn fact that filth allowed to accumulate in yards, in a great measure promotes fevers, and particularly is this the case at this sea son of the year. Decayed vegetable matter in gardens, rotten wood chips, old rags and all the other refuse which accumulate ab~out ti.e premises should be removed at once, and a plentiful ap plication of chloride of lime or other disinfectants be made.

Satterwhite, Guardian. Sgo.-A colored woman liying on Mrs. Herbert's place, near New Chapel, met with a severe accient Saturday week, the 29th ultimo. She and othef bands had taken refuge from a shower under a. tree. One of the h.ands had a shot-gun which was accidentally dis .charged with the rnugle in two feet of this woman. The charge entered hpy thigh and ranged down ten or twelve inches, nearly reaching thc surface on the opposite side, where the greater part of the shot was cut out. Dr. May er, Jr., the physician attending her, thinks she will r.cover. The Newberry (S. C.) HERAL.D gives a very pleasant description of a visit to Williamston commencement, mineral springs, ge, He says the young ladies were dressed in ."plain caliker" with out pullbacks or other hindrancy. We would advise the editor to make a visit to Georgia to a Female Commence ment, as he complains of the plainness of that one. He will see plenty ol floviers, laces and sich. And if the girl's fath.er is a big pfeacher, or a State officer, or statesman she gets a gold. medal;.-if a wealthy merchant, she gshonorable mention;: if a me THE "GLORIOUS FOU i1" was veiy mildly celebrated in this locality. Not a fire-cracker nor even a horse pistol was fired off in honor of the great day. A goodly number of Helenaites went up to Martin's Depot on a free train kindly tendered them by Col. Doda mead, and had a pleasant picnic and dance. The Prosperity people had a grand old-fashioned barbecue that waslargely attended. The colored people *for many miles around had a picnic near Jones' tan yard. At night they had a big "shin 'dig" in Singley Hall. Among the patrons of a paper there are tvo classes who run to extremes one the advertiser vho never thinks of. the notice lie wishes to-insert until the printer has 'justified' his form for the press; the other those who come for the pajper before it is printed. It would be I well to bear in mind that papers are I run on schedule time just as the trains on railroads. They are obliged tomake time. Asking a publisher to wait shows lack of consideration or intelligence, and calling for the pnper an hour or two be fore time is the height of folly, We must have system or mails would be missed and hundreds of people disap pointed. James Slover, of Pulaski Co., Ind., writes; "I had the Dyspepsia and Liver Coniplaint for nine years, could keep nothlng o My stomacit; I was induced to use DR. 11ARTER S LIVER PILLS ; after I had taken one box of Pills I experienced a decided inuprovement, and when I had finished the second one I was entirely cured.

Such a one will make a good business man, and will succeed where ninety and nine of the.other char acter will fail. It is pleasant to say that Newberry is blessed with many boys whose.characters iTidicate that they will make their mark in society. Occa sionally, however, one is met with whose manners give no promise for the future unless there be considerable re formation. qoys of Newberry, remem ber that politesess, obedience, diligence and unselfishness go to make up the good man, and that these virtues must be practiced in youth. FAsTIDIOUs PIGs.-A good subsc.ri ber, good farmer and good fellow in every respect, who lives on the hill over the branch just beyond FIelepa, and who desres his name withheld, rep&rts that he has a couple of pigs who have gone back on the mother that gave them birth by renouncing the lacteal fluid of whib she had abundance for that fur nished by one of Zhe fery.r's cows. He has been forced to place the young epicureans in a pen in the hope that they will learn a lesson which will be to their profit, and that his prompt ac tion in stopping such foolishness will be' an example.to any other pig on the place, so that no other will turn up his nose at the nourishment legitimately proided for him.

People are looking forward with de lightful anticipations to the fall, when the abuhdant orog g;e gathered and money is plentiful. Economy is the order nowv and it is right, that is in so far as concerns such art.icles as can be done without. But it is unwise policy to deprive oneself of things which are essential to comfort, and especially when they an be had fog a gaere trige. gow pleasant it is to sit around -a well ap pointed table with bright new crockery, china and glass-ware, and on the other hand how uc orpo;tb!e if the sets are cracked or composed of odd pieces, no two of which are matched: 'Breakage will occur in the best regulated families, and it would be sad if the remedy were not easily hagj.

Last Sale-day was the dullest this year-very few persons in from the country. Ten days of good rain' seasons and the crops will be safe-the prospect is splendid. We erred in saying in the last issue that Calico had gone up to 10 cents in Columbia. Deprive yourself of nothing pecessary to comfort, but live in an honorable simplicity and regularity.

Be cause her hands are where her feet ought to be. The scarcity o.f money is felt in the church collections. Those who hold back now will only have the more to pay in the Fall. It is gratifying as citizens of this great commonwealth to learn that only twen ty members of Congress got drunk on the closing of the session.

The circumstances of t1he are these: Mr. Biggs received place fourteen or fifteen vehicles, wor about-$1,000, a few weeks ago, and ceeded in selling them all, but failed io remit to his principal. Mr. Cook sont out an agent to look after the matter,w!:f arrived here frlday, ad 4turday sc: down a telegram to the police of Colui bia, where Biggs was supposed to be, to have him arrested, and the agent we;nt down the same day. That day it wa ascertained that Biggs was hiding oit in the pines two or three miles from this papp. 4t night the police wen' out in search of him, -ad'effecte<i hi arrest. With him was Jack John sin,i colored. Both were committed to j:d' by Trial Justice Carlisle. They hatl a horse and buggy with them. It appear4 that they stapted from Columbia horse back-riding two of Mr. Geo. Keenma' horses, which B. had hired to come to this place. One of the horses gavn out about Pomaria, and they left there, and hiring a buggy from M-r. Jno. Summer, they hitched the other 1prse to it and camQ on. The offence for which Mr. Bigg.: i. arrested is Breach of Trust with fral lent intent. He claims that his prin cipal, Cook, owes biar as much as G owes his principal. Abgst this. o: course, we know nothing. MXonday afternoon the prisoner was carried before Trial Justices Carlicl and Packer on a writ of Habeas CJorpw, and his discharge asked for, or, if that failed, his release on bail.
