A Row IN t3ono.-There was a considerable row in the colored school at this place last week. There are a few small boys, aged from twenty five to thirty-fivo years, going to the school, and some of them, not having learned the rules of school, got into a quarrel and disturbed the neighbor hood wjth their angry and blasphe, mous words. They had knives drawn, and finally wo believe, came to blows, and wound up in a general free fight among6t them. Some of the parties came to Trial Justice Taylor for a warrant, but did not succeed in obtaining one. The teacher Wur ran Jenkins, colored, was with the party who applied to the Trial Justice for a warrant, and fron the hilarious manner in which he gave the Justice an account of the origin of the difficulty, we judge he thought it a capital joke, and nothing worth the serious consideration of teacher or peace officers of the County, in fact we are told hat he advised the "boys" to fight it out and stop quar reling so much. If this be true, it shows him utterly unfit for the ros ponsible position Qf teacher, and he should be promptly looked after by the school officers of the district, and if it can be established that he used such language to the belligerent "boys," .the County Board of Exam iners should promptly revoko his cer, tificate of qualification, and let the Trustees employ a teacher who will keep order in the school, and set good examples before his scholars. He has on his roll, we learn, ninety odd scholars, with over eighty attend. ing regularly every day, and is paid out of the public funds for his services, and the Trnstces should see that he performs his duty. We have heard the scholars cursing and quarreling on the streets, and from these inci dents infer that there is no discipline or restraint upon the scholars attend. ing the school. Salt dissolvcd in slop ar.d given to hogs at ntight is said to bo a sure pre vecntive of cholera. A pmnt of Ealt is3 sufficient for 15 or 20 hogs--less nums ber of' hogs a correspondingly less quantity of salt. This remedy is aims plo, cheaip, ensily applied and shoubt be tried by all who own hogs, for this terribly destructive disease, we are informed, has made its appearance amongst the hogs in this section. John Uuragoss, colored, and -Mc. Carter', w hite, t wo revenue striker s, got into a quarrel about a pint bottle last week. They finally came to blows. Cuffee, it seems, was getting the best of it, when McCarter's motheri came to his assistance and knocked the negro dowh three times, by blows on the head with ai hoc. The negro ran afteri the t hird lick over the head, but tho old woman pursued and gave him several blowd on the back as he ran. The negro pretended to be dy, ing for several days after the affair, but weo learn that his condition wvas at no time considered precarious. Of course, all the parties camne to town for warrants as soon as the fight en ded, each claiming that they were in the right and that the other was in the wrong. Neither party procured a warrant, trial Justice Taylor wisely concluding to wait until the smoke of battle cleared away sufficiently for him to survey the ground more satis% factorallyr. A chap of this town, who stood at the door of Sacona Church, last Sun-. day evening week, during service in order to see a certain girl home, was heard mournfully to ejuculato, when she came out and gave him the grand bounco: 'Tis sweet to wait, but, oh, how bitt er To wait for a girl, and then not get her. Sow plentifully of wmnter turnips. The seasons for sowing have been fine and we trust none have lost the op.. portunity for putting plenty of seed in the ground.
