Ihdn on Tuesday evening laid the dust and Wednesday was s. lovely' day. The Epizootic has ma e its ap pearance in this community in a very mild form. TuANtSG[vING.-The great !ather at Washington has appointed the 25th day of November as a day of fasting and prayer. Deaths in the city of Charleston for the week ending Oc'tobor 28, were 22--f 'which 8 were white and 24 wore colored. The Crown' Prince of Geritany will visit- tih gn tonnial, whore ho will. doubtles- meet seteral of the "boys" from the "Boro." '~The -eity- of New York not only gets judgment for over half a mil lion against ono of her democratic plunderers, but gets the money. So says the Union-IHerald. That is more than South Carolila can say for her radical plunderers. Court convened Monday at 12:30 o'clock. After a charge to the Grand Jury, Judge Mackey adjourn ed court till 3.o'clock. We will give a fuller report in our next. Henry Bacot, the negro who stole Mr: qeorge Robertson's horse was brou ht up from Columbia Sunday by Sheriff Ruff. He will be tried by the Court now in session, and we earnestly hope he will get his just deserts. The Rey. Senator Dublin Walker, the School Certificate forger, passed up on the train Thursday from the penitentiary. His sentence has been commuted by the governor from the penitentiary to the Chester jail. Judge Mackey, A. S. Wallace, Senator White, oleven, of the jurors who convicted him, besides soveral hundred citizens signed Dub. Walk ers petition for commutation of sentence. Perhaps Dub knows something and holds the ace.- If such he the case we hope Dub will ".apit it out." Remember that the Fair is held next week, beginning on Tuesday, the ninth instant. Fairfield has always attended the Fair in large numbers and we trust it will be well repre sented again. We are informed by Maj. T. W. Woodward, that an extra train will be on rum the C. C. & A. R. R. during Fair week. It is estimated that 'the cotton trop) of South Carolina this year will be about 325,000 bales, against 400,00OMast year', and yet that the entire crop will be 3,800,000 last against $3,750,000 last year. This will be bad news to the Carolina farmers. We givo the estimate for its worth. If these festivities contitme, verily we shall become a regular Jebkiits. 'We don't know enough yet about gros grain and fichu and wvatteaux and tulle and all that sort of thing to make a first class fashion reporter. lBnt woe learn.

It is rumored, itb what truth we know not, that a e6mbination has been effected by which the railroads through the South have been induced to ..refrain from shipping cotton in order to produce a "corner" in New Yo k. If this be so,.it iS' outrageous. e would muoh'prefer to bolieve that freights are so-heavy that.traipor tation is cloggoa. Fraz..-Mr. John A. Weldon's gin house and sixteen bales of cotton were destroyed by fire Wednesday night.: Mit Weldon had left the gin house only about one hour previous to tho'discovery of the fire. He says he examined it thoroughly, as he generally does, and found everything right. In connection with the gin was a mill, both run by water, and had been built only a short time. Mr. Weldon's loss will reach $2,000. Whether the fire was the work of an incendiary or was accidental, we are unable to say. "Agricultural Chemistry" as a seionce exists only in the imagina tion of those who are not acquainted with the subject. Chemistry is a science, Agriculture an art ; and that which is commonly termed "agricultural chemistry" can only mean a selection of those few results of chemistry of which the agricul turist may advantageously avail him. self. We might with equal justice speak of "Chemical Tannery" or "Coloring Chemistry," because some isolated result of the science might be of service to the Tanner or Dyer. 1 THE F.MILY ISITO.--The onter. prising proprietor of that sterling paper the Yorkville Enquirer, pro poss to publish a now family story paper entitled The Family Visitor, from whose columns everything of a local character will be excluded. The first issue will be made January 1st. It will be published pi weekly at the low price of $1.50 par annum. Mr. Grist has the tasto and ability to make this new paper very ac coptablo. We commend both the Enquirer, and Thec Family Visitor to the reader. We attended the recelption given by Mr. & Mrs. J. Obear on Tues day in honor of the marriage of: their son. It was most pleasant. Mr. & Mrs. J. M. Birawley, Missi Hemnphill, Miss Adams and Miss Pickette Myers came down on the train. We have not time to give the details of this pleasant merry making, and we are also sugering somewvhat from brain fag after our immense repmortorial on'ort on Tuesday. Tuesday-night the band serenaded the happy couple, and wer-e invited in to partake of ro freshments. On Wednesflay night there was a complimentary "hop" at the TheE-~ pian Hall, of which more hereafter. A Geological Survey discov bred year-s ago a dyke of great in terest on the estate of the late E. IG. Pahlmer. Imbedded ini this dyke are angular fragments of hornblende anid slate of various sizes. The roe'k: resemblles a coarse broccia which wvould prove a beatifitl ornafudantal building material. On the sameo plantation there is a highly fissile mica slate having the plades of stratification so even at to leave the surface quite smooth and 'vould be valuable as flagging stones for cities. These facts are particularly interesting to ou~r e'tterprlsihg heighbora at Rkdgeway wvhm are developing so rapidly in other' di rdetions. The same platttation abounds with an abundance of the fineht crystals. St. Nioholas begins Jts thitvo nine with a telling rhdmber--fresh, brisht, 'viried, healtbhr Itt contains sonid fWenty-fivov interesting contri butions ; it gives us articles from more than a dozen of the beet wri.. Iters itt the counttry. In the excel lehce and variety of its doutents, as a ultigle humnber, it could hardly be surpassed. It crowds a strong story by one fiae writer with an instrue. tive Bketch or os~ihty 'poorn by an. other. .The atftic merit of the number is equal taghe literary. The 'iliihitratidaighnai lfh idryte auai tiful ; the . ongspiece-a roproduo tion of Sir. Joshua ieynolds' "por trait of "Penelope Boothby"-is wonderfully finp. A1 gether, tlg November nuinbpr of e. Niceo is one of the very best issues of this' unequaled magazine for Children. In a recent issue we stated upon information that we doomed reliable: that Mr. Samuel Murphy, had re ported at Chester, that a terrible riot occurred in Winusboro, on the day that Howe's Circus exhibited here, and that he saw the bodies of seven negroes who were shot down in the riot. Mr. Murphy has ad dressed us a communication deny ing that he is the author of the false report reforred to, but admitting that he did state that he witnessed a riotous disturbance of the peace while the circus was here. Being satisfied that Mr. Murphy did not intend to misrepresent the facts in this matter, as we are assured by prominent citizens of Chester that he is a highly worthy and truthful Bian, we cheerfully make the amenile honorable. What Joe has to say about our recent local: Williams, of the Winnsborg Npwm, is following tlhe footsteps of Buchan an, of the Chester .Reporter, who is struggling for the laurels won by rhymes. He had a "rassel" with the Muses day before yesterday, and the following inspired lines testify that he flung her. Enumerating the at tractions of the Centennial Uity, lie says she has "Railroads and busses and backs, Corn whiskey that don't pay the tax, And Joseph Caldwell, Who's a bully young swell, 11 ith a keen eye,you bet, forpinbacka." When Williams is told. that we have recently been kicked, and that we have "jined mit der temperance," lie will see how mal apropos it is to connect our name with "busses" and 'pin backs,' and with corn whiskey. Such references as these cause us to recall our happier days and to realize the more fully our present miserable condition. Let's talk about something else. THE LsoTUn.-Quite a good audi once assembled at the Thespian Hall on Thursday night to hear the lee tare delivered by Major S. P. Ham ilton, in aid of the Monumental As. sociation. The speaker commenced by stating the object of the lecture, and eulogized the women, and al luded to the present status of the enterprise as a pride to the ladies and a shame to the men. He then dwelt upon the late war and narrated soveral anecdotes, amusing and pathetic- We will not give a further synopsis of the lecture which was attentively listened to and frequent ly applauded. The proceeds of the lecture were betwveen forty and fifty dollars. Major Hamilton went to Ridgeway Friday to deliver his lec ture before the Rlidgeway Libraiy Association at their invitation. He proposes making a tour of the State; and we bespeak both for himself and the noble cause he advocates, the attention of the public. Major S. P. Hamilton delivered his lecture in behalf of the Monu mental Association before the Ridge wvay Library Association on Friday night. Although a notice of only a fewv hors was givefi, our wide awake sister city collected a good atdience. The lecturer was intro duced by Col. H. C. Davis, president of the association. The lecturer was frequeiitly applaiidad; and was also the recipielit of several bou quets. After thu ldcture wvas con cluded, Captz W. R. Marshall zhoved the thanks of the association for the lecture in a very haindsomo address; which was eloquently respohded to by Major Hamilton. About twenty dollars was realized; but the amoumt would have been greater had due notice been extended. Major Ham ilton was the guest of R. S Des. portes, Esq. He wvas qiuite pleased with his visit to Ridgeway. .Ridge'i way is a push ahead place, full of vim and pluck. EcidTIzERN CULTiVATo.-This old and reliable friend of the farmer pursues the even tenor of its way, striving earnestly and honestly to assist him during these hard and trying times. It advocates progress only when it pays. There is noth ing of the fancy or sensational about it. Solid, practical, suggestive, it is just what real working farmers need. The very large number of inquiries presented by thein' each month, to be answered by the editor or lr correspondents, shows plainly their confidence in it.
