For the Times. From Brown'a Store. Mil. Editou :?Americans ns a people, are loo prone to go to extremes, anil the common expression "it is all the rage," is accepted as nu thority for adopting any course of conduct or style of language that tho most vulgar or illit* erato may attempt to force upon society. Your other correspondent "Occasional," 1 fear is about to run into one of these extremes, in accusing me of being "fast," merely because my article on the pic-nio happened to be received by you first, which happening consigned his to the waste basket. His idea of ray object being matrimony, makes me laugh. Why, toy friend, I've been working in the matrimonial harness several years. You've not got "Dick Dundas, ' yet. You aro bad at guessing. Friend "Occasional, remember what Josh Dillings said about "big words," and don't try to choke the readers nf thft 7V>I1S>* Ulitk lltnm \f atfimonta] nn<l Ann. nubinlistic! Whew?(his hot weather.

Uilt old lloe has fairly whipped the General out and the farmers are crowing over him like game chickons. The what crop is the best we have had for many years. Oats are also fino. Health good ; Out the "pill peddlers," are looking hopefully towards the green apple and wntermelon season. "OLD" DICK DUNDAS. - A Sao Event.?Georgetown, June 12.?Our community was painfully shocked, and suddenly thrown in a state of bereavement to-day by tho announcement of the untimely death of Mr. 11. Lovat Eraser, the only son of our intendnnt and banker, the Hon. Kobert E. Eraser.? The mournful and dreadful event occurred about 11 o'clock A. M., at his father's residence, where be lived, by shooting himself with a pistol, the ball entering bis left breast and passing through the heart, causing death withiu a half hour. S. T. Atkinson, trial justice, empanelled n jury, with George 11. Congdon, foreman, and tho following verdict was rendered: * "That tho deceased, K. Lovat Fraser, came to his death by a pistol-shot wound, inflicted by himself, gnd, in the jury's opinion, while in a state of mental aberration.'' The generous and kind nature of our deceased friend, and his congenial manners, had collected ior nimjteu in tnis coinniuniiy a nosi oi warm friends. lie is highly thought of where he is known. Not long since he was connected with the Georgetown 7'ime* as one of its editors. In that capicity he discharged, his duties manfully and fearlessly, thereby gaining admiration from all. He leaves n young and devoted wife and two lovely little children to mourn thcix loss. He departed this life at the youthful age of about twenty-eight years.?Cor XTeios and Courier. . # A Sap Accident.?Mr. E. Frank Lyles, while returning from a hunt on Thursday, was killed by the accidental disoharge of his shotgun. It sceins that upon arriving within about two hundred yards of the residence of his brother-in-law, Mr. W. A. Martin, living near Monltcello, Mr. Lyles stopped to rest on a fence, where he was soon sitting by some negroes working a short distance Away. He had been there but a few moments when the discharge of a gun was heard, jtnd the negroes saw him fall. Upon arriving at the fence, they foAnd him dead, the contents of the gun having entered his head near the eye and passed out at the back. Mr. Lyles was about 19 years of age, and the son of the late Captain E. F. Lylos, of ima uuuiiij. nc nnu uvon numv umo in winnsburo, attending school, but was compelled to go home on account of sickness. He was preparing to return when the fatal accident happened. Mr. Lyle.i was a promising young man, and had made warm fiiends by bis genial disposition. The news of his death caused general'and profound sorrow.? Winmboro New* and Herald. June 14. ? ? ..... ... Dr. Darby's Fitsrral.?The funeral of Dr. Darby took place yesterday afternoon at 0 o'olook at Trinity Church. It was attended by a large concourse of people. All the services had been perfomcd in New York except those at the grave. Her. Dr. Shnnd officiated and read the impressive service cf the Episcopal Church. The fol[owing gentlemen acted as pal'bearers: Dr. 11. W. Taylor, Dr. A. N. Talley, Dr. U. B. Turnipseed, Dr. P. E. Griffin, Dr. A. A. Hylves ter, Dr. George Howe, Jr., Dr. John Lynch, Judgo A. C.

A remarkable breach of promise caso has been tried in London. Mr. Jaokson contracted to marry Miss Paris. Subsequently ho became insane, whereupon MUs Paris sued him for not marrying her. and has actually recovered $'250. Tho Lord Chief Baron ruled that the defendant's lunacy did not make a bit of difference. It was argued that so far from being incapacitated for marriage by his lunacy, he all the more neoded a wife to take care of him. The thing was settled on purely abstract principles. It was nothing that poor Mr. Jackson oouldn't be mafiied ; that no clergymen would marry a inanino. It was shown that Mr. Jackson was rapidly recovering, and when restored to his senses might marry Miss Paris, but that didn't change (Jie verdict. Miss Paris got her $250. :?-m ftottTiisBh Farmrr's Monthly.?We aro iu receipt of the June number of that excollent mogt" sine, the Southern Farmer's Monthly.
