The bolt on the back door had needed replacing for a long time, but it was only the other night that Mr. Throcton had the prea- 1 euce of mind to buy a new one and take it < home. After supper he hunted up his tools, , removed the old bolt, and measured the loca- , tion for the new one. He must bore some new holes, and Mrs. Throcton heard him roaming around the kitchen and woodshed, slamming 1 doors, pulling out drawers, and kicking the 1 furniture around. She went to the head of I the stairs, and called down : , "Richard, do you want anything?" , "Yes, I do!" he yelled back. "I want to , know where in Texas that corkscrew is?" "Corkscrew, Richard ?" "Yes, corkscrew, Richard! I've looked the house over, and can't find it!" i "Why, w6 never had one, Richard." i "Didn't eh? We've had a dozen of'em in the last, two years, and I bought one not four weeks ago. It's always the way when I want anything." "But you must be out of your head, husband," she said, as she descended the stairs. "We've kept house seven years, and I never remember of seeing you bring a corkscrew home." "O, yes, I'm out of my head, I am !" he grumbled, as he pulled out the sewing-machine drawer and turned over its contents. "Perhaps I'd better go to the lunatic asylum right away!" "Well, Richard, I know that I have never : seen a corkscrew in this house." ligirf/Ior IrveT>ougfft*l{veof six"! ""llhe~ housej is always upside down, and I never can find anything!" "The house is kept as well as any of your folks can keep one!" she retorted, growing red in the face. "I'd like my mother here to show you a few things," he said, as he stretched his neck to look on the high shelf in the pantry. "Perhaps she'd boil her spectacles with the potatoes again!" answered the wife. "Do you know who you are talking to ?" he yelled, as he jumped down. "Yes, I do!" "Well, you'll be going for York State, if you don't look out!" "I'd like to see myself! When I go, this house goes!" "Look out, Nancy!" "I'm afraid of no man that lives, Richard Throcton !" "I'll leave you !" "And I'll laugh to see you go !" Goiug close up to her, he extended his finger, shook it to emphasize his words, and slowly said: "Nancy Throcton, I'll apply for a divorce to morrow! I'll tell the judge that I kindly and lovingly asked you where the gimlet was, and you said we'd never had one in the house, which is a bold falsehood, as I can prove!" "Gimlet!" she gasped. "Yes, gimlet!" "Why, I know where there are three or four! You said corkscrew!" "Did I ?" he gasped, sitting down on the corner of the table; "well now, I believe I did." "And you weutand abused me like a slave because I wouldn't say a gimlet was a corkscrew !" she sobbed, falling on the lounge. "Nancy," he said, tenderly lifting her up. "0, Richard !" she chokingly answered. "Nancy, I'll go right out doors and kill mvself!" "No, you needn't?I love you still! only? only?you know a gimlet is not a corkscrew !" "It ain't?it ain't, Nancy; forgioime, and let's be happy!" And that household is so quietly happy that a canary bird would sing its head off if hung up in the ball. INTERVIEWING! FARMER. Wishing to keep posted as to the condition of the crops, and to ascertain the exact amount of damage done recently by the Hood, a reporter started out on an interviewing expedition. He was fortunate enough to encounter a farmer at the edge of the town, bringing a load of hay into the city. Burning with enthusiasm, the reporter hailed him. He halted and the following colloquy took place: "How are you, friend ?" "Tired." "What'shay now?" "Same as it always was." "What's that?" "Dried grass." "What did you think of the rain?" "Thought it was damp." "Didn't raise anything, then, eh ?" "Nothing but an umbrella." "What did your neighbors get?" "Chills and fever." "What are you doing now?" "Sitting out here in the sun, and may be losing a chance to sell this hay. Come up here if you want to talk." The reporter scrambled up to the side of his new-made acquaintance, and as they jolted on he again produced his note-book and continued : "What did the farmers do last spring?" "Ran everything into the ground, as usual." "Did your wheat do anything ?" "Yes." "What?" "Sprouted." "Can you raise any tobacco now ?" "Yes, do you want a chew ?" "How are the potatoes ?" "Under the weather somewhat, but able to be out." Becoming just the least bit discouraged, the reporter asked, timidly: "Will you bring many beets to the city this year ?" "Got a good load now," was the rejoinder, as he checked his horses and said : "Guess you'd better plant what I've told you, and zee what it'll yield. Here's where you get off." Remembering that it was about time to report at the office, the baffled searcher after news climbed down the side of the wagon, and, thinking that a soft answer tumeth atfay wrath, he calmly said : "That's nice hay, my friend ; where did it come from ?" "Timothy seed." The interrogator grew faint, but he summoned up courage to ask : ..liri _ j. .L:_I >11 i f.. :i o? i " vv nai ao you umuk. you it get, tut n ; "Cash, of course. Get up, Whitey ; this fellow will talk us all blind in a minute. He ! asks more questions than a catechism," aud before the discouraged represeutative of the ^ press could recover from his surprise, the hay | wagon had turned the adjacent corner. "My son wouldn't steal peaches from Mr. Gammon's orchard, I hope?" "No, ma, I wasn't iri~that crowd the other night." i "That's right, my boy. Keep out of bad company, and you'll never do wrong. Let your conscience be your guide in all things," and the fond mother patted her son approvingly i * ? j . -i i i j?:,i i OD toe neaa, anu weut auuui uer uuuca wau | a light heart.

The Other World.?A colored man who was lately resuscitated from what seemed death, but was only catalepsy, was entertaining his friends with the sights he beheld in the , other world. "Pleuty colored bredren in heaven, I spec, Tom ?' "0, yes," said Tom. "And how about hell?any down there ?' asked another interlocutor. "0, yes massa, plenty of them dar, too." "Any white folks, Tom ?" "Lord save us, der aint' no end on j 'em; but, by gosh, massa, every white man holdin' between him and de x JUjtUttttmJ fjrpartmcet. [Original 1 MANURE It has long been demonstrated that whilst there are some lands that will produce good j crops without any manure; still, the greater > quantity of lands in every section of the globe are improved by the judicious applications of ! manure. The question is, where is this ma- j ure to be procured ? Shall it be made on the plantation, or shall it be bought? To this question an absolutely definite answer cannot be given. In most cases it is a safe mode of procedure to buy as little as possible and sell all you can. The ruin of Southern farmers is that they have so many things to buy and so few things to sell! It should be a motto with the farmer to make his farm support itself. If the farmer has to buy bread, buy meat, and also manure, it requires no sage to discover to what point he is drifting. If the only thing that the farmer buys, in order to run his farm, is manure, that is well enough ; provided the increase of crops, by the use of bought manure, will pay for the manure and extra expense counected with its use. The object in applying manure to land, is tA inprpflse the fertility of the soil, and therebv increase the amount and quality of the crop. Manure is something that is worthless for any thing else except enriching the soil. The richest lands in the world are those that are . ?t-^TTOnp-.-^(towwi?3ns:?rue i lUilliess of what are called bottom lands, is due to this circumstance. The vegetable productions of the hills are washed down by the rains into the bottoms. There they rot and make the most productive lands iu all countries. This suggests the course to be pursued by the farmer iu making manure. The useless and refuse matter that collects about tbe plantation has only to be collected into heaps that it may rot and then be applied to the soil. This, if continued year after year, will ultimately make the soil permanently rich. An important fact in the manuring of land is to keep it from becoming poor. This may be done in a variety of ways. The easiest plan, perhaps, is by a rotation of crops. Sow in small grain one year, but do not pasture the ground after, the small grain is harvested. Turn the weeds and grass under in the fall. The next year plant in some other kind of crop and continue to rotate the crop year after year. Occasionally, land should be rested. That is, it should be permitted to grow up in weeds aud grass. It should be remembered that it is not resting land to pasture it. ? ^ + i [Original.] FARMING. As an avocation, there are few callings to be compared to that of farming. It is?when properly conducted?prohtable. It is pleasant and it is healthy. It gives strength to the muscles aud it affords food for the mind. The pure air, in which most of the farmer's time is spent, has a strengthening result upon his body, and a cheering effect upon his mmd. Not only so, but the farmer is less dependent on others than those who pursue other callings. His supplies are in his own barn ; they are the direct results of his own labor. He, as a member of the great social fabric, is dependent on every one else; but the dependeuce of others upon him is for things of greater importance than are the things for which he is dependent upon others. Others look to him for their bread. He looks to others only for the luxuries of life. Many of the things which the farmer receives from others cau be dispensed with; but what others receive from the farmer are absolute essentials. A country may become overstocked with lawvers. physicians, merchants, and even with preachers; but never will there be any danger of overstocking a country with farmers whilst there is an acre of land unreclaimed or uncultivated. Again. Farming is an honorable business, and attended with as few of the evils of life, as any other calling. The farmer is subjected to fewer temptations and beset by fewer evils than other members of society. He is not tempted, by the circumstances with which he is surrounded, to prevaricate, conceal or deceive. As far as is consistent with morals, he may live honestly and happily. Notwithstanding all this, there is, perhaps, not a more miserable class of men in our country than the farmers. They, in common with every other class of men, have become? demoralized. The visionary schemes of the age and the speculative notions of the times, have entered their minds; and instead of being happy and contented, they are as miserable as exiles. [Original.] SMUT IN WHEAT. We heard a gentleman of very close observation, mature experience, and whose word is regarded as good as any mau's, relate the following, which may be of some profit to wheat raisers: "One fall I sowed a field of wheat under the followiug circumstances, and with the following results. The wheat was all from the same heap, and the lands all of the same kind. The first sown was not soaked in blue-stone or any thing else. The second sown wassoaked in blue-stone over night. That sown first, was plowed in when the ground was in proper condition. It was so full of smut that I did not cut it. The second sown was soaked, as said before, in blue-stone, over night, and plowed in when the ground was in proper condition. It had no smut in it. After the second sowing it commenced to rain. The wheat, designed to sow the remainder of' the field, was put in the blue-stone soak at night, but the next morning it was raining. As it continued to rain for several days, the wheat was kept in soak until it was taken out to prevent it from sprouting. So soon as the weather cleared up the wheat was sown ; but whilst the ground was very wet. The result was, at harvest, that portion of the field was full of smut." The inference from this accidental experiment is, that plowing in wheat when the ground is wet, counteracts the good results of soaking in blue-stone or anything else which may be used to prevent smut. One thing is certain, because demonstrated in innumerable instances, it is bad policy to sow any kind of 9mall grain when the ground is too wet. Oats sown when the ground is too wet are almost certain to rust, or to be smitten with some kind of a blight which causes them t fall down. ? Bee Culture Profitable.?The California Agriculturist says: There are two million bee hives in the United States. Every hive yields, on an average, twenty-two pounds of honey. The average price at which honey is sold is twenty-five cents a pound ; so that after paying their board, the bees present us with a revenue of $8,000,000. To reckon in another way, they make a clear gift of over a pound of pure honey to every man, woman and child, in the vast domain of the United States. Over twenty-three and one-third million pounds of wax are made and given to us by these industrious werkers. The keeping of bees is one of the most profitable investments our people can make of their money. IpswIlattMus grading. Froin the Atlanta Medical Journal. TREATMENT OF DIPHTHERIA. BY L. ALEXANDER, M. D. To begin with the preventive treatment, I think very little can be done beyond keeping the health, as near as possible, at a normal j standard, guarding, during the prevalence of ! the disease, against unnecessary exposure to j dampness or other atmospheric changes, and : keeping, as far as possible, separated from the ! one already iufected, particularly should that i oue be connected by the ties of blood, which i no doubt, as in many other diseases, renders one more susceptible to the influence of the poison. Unless there is something to counter-indicate its use, I invariably commence ray treatment with hydg., chlo., mit., combined with 1 ? L J_ J 4.^ ipecac auci Dicaro. socia, suiting me uuse iu luc age, and repeating every three or four hours. For the use of soda, I am indebted to the American Journal of Medical Science. The modes of action I will not attempt to explain, but its virtue, experience has proved beyond a doubt. This I generally continue for at least twenty-four hours, to be followed, if necessary, by a dose of castor oil, containing a few drops of spirits of turpentine. As soon as practicable, I commence with a saturated solution of sulph.quiuia and murated tinct. iron, for here rests the "anchor of hope," as it is all-important to support the system, and build up the red corpuscles of the blood, while the process of eliminating the poison is going on. Of this solution I give every two or three hours, in tnncK larirnr Hn^-vi fk"- ?" oumstances, continuing throughout the disease, and in reduced doses for some time afterwards. Commencing with the mercury on first appearauce of a deposit upon the mucous membrane of the throat, I apply frequently, say from four to six times a day, with a camel's hair peucil, a solutiou of carbolic acid, tincture of iodine, and glycerine, varying the strength to suit each case. Iu lieu of the above, I have used recently, upon several cases, with marked satisfaction, the carbolate of iodine. It certainly exercises a most beneficial influence upon the diseased membrane, and as it is a colorless nrpnaraf.inn. t.hp. nhifiotionahle stain of the iodine is avoided. In conjunction with the local applications, I direct the throat to be well gargled every hour, with a solution of chlorate potash, acidulated with carbolic acid, or acid pyrolig, also using this preparation with an atomizer and the mop, no matter what may be the age of the patient, as older persons frequently fail in gargling the throat properly, besides the mop removes loose portions of false membrane, and better exposes the diseased surface to the action of the agents. Using the gargle also internaly at the same time. In regard to local external applications, I have but little conhdence in them. The worry and trouble they give the patient does away with what little efficacy they might possess, and I think it only necessary to protect the neck with a piece of flaunel in order to regelate the temperature of the parts. There is generally but little desire for food, but this point should be well carried by the physician, and the patient made to take a sufficient quantity each day, and that selected with an eye to its digestitibility. Of course all cases cannot be treated exactly alike. Some may require a continuation of the mercury almost throughout the disease, with other variations, which precludes the possibility of restricting all cases to the same routine of medication. It is important to have a moist atmosphere pervade the apartment, and disinfectants freely used. For this purpose the walls and floor should be sprinkled with a solution of carbolic acid, or sol. bromide calcium, at least twice a day. I think the mistake generally made in the treatment of this scourge or cbe~mir&eryri8~Tn the too indiscriminate use of the caustic, which adds, by additional irration, to the congestion already existing, and in not paying sufficient ..4-noA nPanfanfa Qrvmn atlCUtlUU tu LUG UOG \Jl UIOlUlLLVMUbO. times, too, those that desire food are either deprived of it, or placed upon an insufficient amount, when it is all-important that the system should be sustaiued under the wear and tear of the disease; and I am prone to believe that too much reliance is placed upon inexperienced persons in administering remedies, when no disease requires so much the constant attention and observant eye of the physician. Remedy for Diphtheria?In view of the prevalence of this disease in our midst, we copy the following, which is said to be a remedy for it. It may be worth a trial. It is said that in several places where this disease has been prevalent, but few deaths have beeu reported to have occurred after the use of this remedy. It is as follows: Make two small bags that will reach from ear to ear, and theu fill them with ashes and salt; dip them in hot water, aud wringing them out so they will not drip, apply them to the throat; cover up the whole with flannel cloth, and change them as often as they become cool, until the throat becomes irritated, near blistering. For children it is necessary to put flannel cloths between the throat and the ashes to prevent blistering. When the ashes have been on a sufficient time, take a wet flannel cloth and rub it with Castile soap, until it becomes a thick lather, dip it in hot water, and apply it to the throat, and change as they cool; at the same time use a gargle made of one teaspoonful of cayenne pepper, one of salt, one of molasses, iu a teaspoonful of hot water, and when cool add one-fourth as much cider vinegar, and gargle every fifteen minutes until the patient requires sleep. A gargle made of Castile soap is good to be used part of the time. A Physcian's Curious Fee.?In Philadelphia there lives an old woman who for years has been sick. A physician has offered to cure her of her malady for 83,000. This sum of money the woman was unable to get, so the doctor informed her that for one raillion canceled postage stamps he would effect the cure. The old woman at once set about procuring the stamps, and it coming to the ears of the boys and girls of the high schools in Manayunk and Germantown, they began ' ? ' ? * a. ./? L .1 to neip in tne attainment 01 una luucn tietjired object. One girl has alread handed over 1,300, and others are even ahead of that figure. Two young ladies from Roxboro, says the Pottstown Ledger, while on a visit to the house ofour Phoanixville correspondent, "went through" a waste basket of letters, and pocketed every visible stamp, their deft fingers peeling off the government duties with wonderful rapidity. The one million stamps, when collected, are to be pasted on a pedestal and exhibited at the Centennial. Integrity.?Who ever possessed it that did not derive untold advantage from it? It is better than riches; it is of more value than "diamonds and all precious stones and yet every man may possess it. The poorest may | have it, and no power on earth can wrest it from them. Young men, prize intergrity of character above all earthly gifts. The Vitality of Seeds.?Concerning the vitality of seeds, the experience of seedsmen is : said to show that beans will retain vitality two I years; beets, seven; cabbage, four; carrot, two; sweet corn, two ; cucumber, ten ; lettuce, three; melon, ten ; onion, one; parsnip, one; peas, two ; radish, three, squash, ten ; tomato, seven; turnip, four, ! BST If a common wooden pail receives three coats of common copal varnish before being used, it will never become water-soaked, nor will if give any disagreeable flavor to water that may be allowed to stand in it for any length of time. Thus its usefulness and durability are greatly increased.?Hearth and Home. / YORKVILLE ENQUIRER. VOLUME 22.-1870. THE YORKVILLE ENQUIRER, which, on the 1st of January, 1876, will enter upon the Twenty-second volume, is a large, twenty-eight column paper, handsomely printed on clear, legible ; type, and devoted to the Political, Social, Ag- j ricultural and commercial interests ok the j South. In announcing the new volume, we are enabled to promise increased attractions in all the different departments of the paper, conspicuous among them being the Serial Stories, written expressly for the Enquirer. As a non-partisan, independent family newspaper, the future editorial conduct of the Enquirer can be as well judged by the past as by any promise which we might now feel disposed to make. An experience of thirty-five years in the newspaper business?of which timeat least one-half has been unremittingly devoted to the management of the Enquirer?fully convinces the proprietor that the plan he adopted on assuming control of the paper, is the correct mode of journalism in the present day. The true mission of the newspaper is to place before the public facts as they may exist, unbiased by partisan feelings or sinister motives; and the propriety of this course is fully attested, not only by the success of the Enquirer, which can truthfully claim the largest circulation of any country newspaper in the South, but also by many -At ** vr /-Sf/tnlotDil I ouit*r ui nit* iiium jiujjumi mm wiuwij VHVH.MWVU papers of the day. The course thus indicated \x$ shall continue to pursue, aiming to ymblish a LTTERARY AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER, which shall be a welcome visitor to the Home Circle, and acceptable alike to all classes of readers. Hence, the news department of the Enquirer, whether of matters at home or abroad?political or otherwise?will be conductod with the utmost care, and only facts as they seem to exist, will be presented, free from sectional or nart.v bias. XltEKIRY TJEFARTflKNT. The original Serial Stories for the now volume will possess unusual interest?being from the pens of the most popular serial writers. With the first number will bo commenced a highly oxcitingand thrilling story of California and frontier life, by Mrs. Henry Deas, entitled PICCIOLA, Which, as a vivid portrayal of life on the Pacific coast, with advonture, crime, temptation and triumph, is one of the most sensational, yet captivating and pleasing stories of Western life yet written. This story will lie followed by others throughout the year, of which we can, mention the following as now ready: "THE IRON OIIEST," a story of domestic lifo, abounding in mystery and secresy ; and a racy, spirited and romantic story cntitlod "LOST AND FOUND ; Or, thk Whitk Fawn ok tick Forest." In addition to these, other stories of unusual interest will be published during the volume. HISTORICAL SKETCHES. Thk Historical Skktches or the Early History of South Carolina will constitute an important feature of the volume. These Sketches are written by Rev. Robert Lathan, and commencing with the earliest settlement of the State in colonial times, gradually trace its rise and progress. To the writing and compilation of these Sketches the author has devoted much thought and extensive research. Besides the colonial history, they will contain the stirring scenes and Important events, the anecdotes and incidents?legendary and authentic?which have never before been fully published, connected with the Revolutionary history of the State. Much of the material of these Sketches being traditional?many of the events portrayed having never been in print? and written in Mr. Lathan's easy, familiarstyle, they will be read with peculiar satisfaction, not only in our own State, but by every one having a just appreciation of the history of a noble ancestry in their struggle for liberty and independence, CHESTER CORRESPONDENCE. To meet the demands of our increasing circulation in Chester county, we have engaged the services of Brainerd McLure, Esq., who will contribute a letter of corrrespondenee from Chester regularly each week. These letters are devoted entirely to Chester affairs?to the interests of the town and county?and written in the racy and graphic style peculiar to Mr. McLure, they cannot fail to be of interest to our readers in Chester, as well as elsewhere in the State. THE OTHER DEPARTMENTS. In addition to the above features, Rev, Mr. Laina.< vi til wiftimn) iits regrrnri cnrmrnunona ti?the "Sabbath Reading," and the "Children's Department," which, under his management for the past six years, have been an important attraction ; and with the usual melange of Miscellaneous Reading adapted to all tastes; the Agricultural Department, containing practical and useful information forthefarmerand house-wife; acolumn of Humorous Reading every week ; "Scraps and Facts," embracing light current topics; acompend of the News Abroad and at Home; Correspondence; Commercial and Market Reports; Editorial Articles upon appropriate subjects, intended to promote the prosperity and welfare of our people, we hope to make the Enquirer replete as an entertaining and instructive Family Journal.
