Tho noxt best-there aro several not far apart-aro three-quarter paints; you may mark them 75 to Devon's 100. Tho bulk of tho paints in market aro 40 or 50 or 00; a few aro better than (>0; a few aro worse than 40. How do they net? They cover from ono to three-quarters as much as Dovoe; aud the last from ouo to three-quarters as long as Dovoe. What aro they worth? Tho samo rulo don't bold; it costs moro to put on somo pain I s than they aro worth; they aro not worth anything; tho "put-on" costs two or three times as much as tho paint. Yours truly, 24 F. W.

McGuffln, a privato, who ro contly died at his homo, near Oakway, Oconoo county, South Carolina. His death brings back in momory his record as a privato soldior in tho great Btruggle botwoon tho States. Ho volunteered at tho beginning of tho war. Ho enlisted in Company F, Orr's Killen, McGowan's Brigade, A. P. Hill's Division, Stonewall Jackson's Corps. Leo's Army of Northern Virginia. Ho enlisted on tho 2lBt of July, 1801, and continued faithful to tho end, and was surrendered with his regiment at Appo mattox Court House, Virginia, on tho Orb day of April, 18(15. Ile participated with his command in most of the -na i bottlos in Virginia. Ho was always present and rondy for duty. Ho nevor murmured or complained, whatever tho conditions, with rations or without. Ko was always truo and faithful. He was modest and unasiiming and was certainly one of tho South's many unsung privato heroes, and many are tho timos wo havo heard Iiis voice unito with tho shout and cheer of his conn,ules for Stonewall Jackson, tho great heroic soldier of the South. Having soon nothing touching his record as a soldier, it gives mo groat filoasuro to present the above faots to ho publio, and extend my heartfelt i.v m pat hies lo his family and relativos.
