" Mr. Foitok.?This afternoon is quite warm,
but nut so hot as the weather was several days
ago. From the loth to the liOth, wo had a
very unusual hot spell of weather. It was oppressive
on both tn in and beast. However,
the heated term was cut oil' by gentle showers
on Thursday and Friday afternoons and on
Saturday afternoon we had a splendid rain, and
I think it was very general. The rain continued
to fall after night, i don't know how
long, for 1 retired early and was soon lost in
sleep and dreams. Tito rain was accompanied
by some wind but did 110 serijus dam.
age to crops, so far as I have heard from.
Crops nre very much revived and arc doing i
well. Somo of the farmers 011 Broad Itivcr
count on making enough of corn t t do them
two years, if nothing happens to it from this
oa. The cotton crop on Broad Kivcr and her
adjacent hills is also very promising at this 1
time, ami 1 am sorry to hear thai it is not so
in other localities of Union. .Mr. J. 11. Mar- i
ties, of your town, is visiting in this neighborhood
and 1 understand he reports the crops
sorry froui Union, C. 11. tt|> this way. Well,
I will say to you ail down there on the ridge
what II. W. Grady said to tiie North-Western '
folks When he heard of their cri-p failure
he invited them down South whero it was always
seasonable. If you cant do any better,
just move up into the 'dark corner,' and we
will try and take care of you until you can
make a crop. We would like first-rate to
hive a town aud a Ilailroad to enlighten us a
little up hero. 1 have heard it said, that a
locomotive was the greatest civilizcr in the
world. A little civilizing and moralizing
would not hurt us. The crops are about 'laid
by' and the big meetings will commence this
week at Salem Church, conducted by W. \\.
Hatch ford, and our brother Methodises are to '
have a protracted meeting at Wilson's Chapel
of this toivu, embracing the 1st Sabbath of
August, and our brother Mip'-isls yoa'kniw
will fall in lino with their series of meetings
8>me*.imo in August, so when they all gel
doue with us 1 reckon we will feci like there
has been a general eradication of nil our si:r?
ami tlint we have started mil on a ni iter
moral plane. it is miglry h >.r I for a fellow
that farms to keep his morals in the right sort
of tune. Our folk have an oi l black lien with
about a dozen chickens that hare corrupted
my morals some lately, by trespassing on my
watermelon patch. 1 ha I a boy to run her '
down yesterday and catch her, 1 then pulled
all the feathers out of one of her wings und
put her in a coop. I thought 1 was done being
worried with her, but slio gut out litis morn- (
ing, and when I visited the wuterinciun patch
found that she had been there and sampled
several melons, 1 looked for tier hut could not
find her anywhere. 1 toll the housekeeper '
they might say what they pleased. I inien led
to shoot that old hen if ! caught Iter in that
melon patch again. I think 1 wiii got. h r
soon in the tuoruiug. .My girl is 'coiiutin on
eating some of thorn melons, and 1 am determined
that the old hen shall not cause her ,
to be disappointed. .My time is up. i think
we will have more rairr this afternoon. The '
health of our vicinity is very good, i want
you to give your *l>ovil a good shaking* up

Interesting Itonis from Uaifuey.
U.uim:v City, July -7, lss7.
Since my last report we have had good showers
of rain which seems to have set up the
crops all right, ami our farmers seem happy,
ami the merchants wear a pleasant smile on
their countenances with the hope thai planters
will he ahle to jay <>'! their n.ortj.ages and
liens, which so many failed to d > hi-i year.
If the prospect itiiiiucs a - geo 1 as it sect i- I
be n ?w, it is t?* he imped that the farmer- will
get even and keep so, and in> longer he bothered
with such nightmares as mortgages and iieiM,
which lias so long proved a cur.-e to mi.-' seelion
of country.

reports ' of personal injury by lightning
strokes, vicliuis who recover say they have j
seen balls of lire. The lire ball seems to ! '
figure conspicuously in all stories of pros- ;

estiug to study this special phase of the
pheuomcua lor the purpose of ascertaining
whether the !i ry hall has any existence
except as the roult of the bright Hash upon

persons who are close enough to a Hash of
iightuiug to see this ball have declared,
that it moved -lowly, d Hi ring and bounding
through the room or across tho field,

been prostrate 1 and sob- <|u-titly recovered

ago the mother of the child died ami left it to
the care of its reputed father. The father took
it, but lie and bis wife, Silla Washington, both
treated the child badly, and en several oc-^

"Tobacco which sold for \? and

of the city by the ears and has so pleased
himself by his cards that nothing but a whole
newspaper to himself will satisfy him. Ho

leased for a period of three years and is now
being fitted up expressly foi its next occupant.
The proprietor of 'the Sun' is Mr. John
Mel.lree, who has shown that he himself wields
a 'left aud trouch.iM p. noil, on occasion, and
whose business success in this city is a guar.iiilco
of Ids success in this unbeaten pa li

Mr. Williams' pen is too well known
in' South Carolina to need comment. IIis

sought out because of these qualities.
