cultural purposes, and have greatly appreciated in value. As agriculture gradually reduces ;tself to a system in this country, more and more attention is being paid to the raising of horses, rattle, sheep and hogs. Experiments have already proved that great profits are to be derived from the pursuit. Wood for fuel is found throughout the whole country to last for generations to come, and there are also considerable forests of valuable timber, of different varieties, in the immediate vicinity of Rock Hill. The price of the above lands ranges from seven to ten dollars per acre, varying in the ratio of their distance from town. These ridiculously low prices cannot bust long. The only consideration that allows them to obtain at present is the fact that some owners have more land than they can cultivate to advantage. DIRECTORY.

The soldiers of the Confederacy enjoyed the "franking privilege." The name, rank, company 4nd regiment of the soldier, endorsed on' the envelope, guaranteed the safe and expeditious transmission ol his letters through the mails. Lovers who didn't care to ex pose themselves or their dulcineas, would prepay their postage. It is needless to say that a great many letters of this kind pass< d through the mails without creating excitement. We might say, without risking < ontradiction, that the efficiency of the postal service of the Confederate States waq "perfect business." The post office departpient was always informed as to the wh ireabouts of die different commands. The soldier's name, Company, regiment and brgade,, plainly written on the envelope, gus iranteed its safe delivery. Though thousam Is and thousands of trophies and sou veil irs of different kinds were constantly passir g through the mails, yet we don't reinemt er ever hearing of a single case of robbery. Finger rings, breast pins, &c., made by the soldiers during their leisure moments., we re sentto their friends and others for whom they had more than ordinary regard. Many of the unique articles showed wonderful ingenuity on the part of" their makers. F eef bones and gutta percha buttons were generally selected as the materials of whidh to make such articles. The ivy root thAy used for making pipes for smoking purposes. This was a general amusement for those who had a disposition to while away their time in camp in a more respectable way tllan indulging in immoral games. 1 Some men whk went into the army, unable to write asiligle word, learned that art and wrote theix own letters before the war closed.. Our people never knew the amount of ingenuity that lay dormant, even in themselves,luntil the war brought ? it into requistion, orpfforded an opportunity for it to develop! itself. It is no parociistical assertion to say that war is a public' educator. %It proved'that in our case. f But we started out to tell about the mail I facilities during the war. Twice a week / was as often as the post offices in Western York were supplied with mail by the Government, anu some of them only once a week. The people became so interested as to inaugurate a system among themselves that afforded them a daily mail. Arrangements were made among themselves to go to Yorkville 011 different days and get the * mail for Hickory Grove, Smith's Ford and Hopewell, which was brought to the first named office for distribution. This was j kept up during such times, at least, as our army was engaged in its hostile work. A j lull would come when the fighting would J cease for a while, thus we- see that the movements of the army found a responsive interest among our people at home. News from the seat of war, though not always favorable, was always a welcome visitor. When the clicking telegraph at Chester would announce that a fight was going 011, or that the army was moving, the news would spread like electricity over the whole country. The railroad officials and passengers brought the news to Yorkville, where couriers were in readiness to carry it to all parts of the county. Generally copies of the dispatches were exhibited and sent as vouchers for the report, to all parts * of the county. I have been told that the most exciting time during all those four years of bloody war, was during the "seven days' light in ; front of Richmond." Scarcely had the guns of General A. P. Hill's division, at Mechanicsville, announced to the Army of Northern Virginia that the battle was opened, before our people at home were | reading the news, and lor seven days and nights the country was held in a state of suspense. When, finally the news reached . Yorkville that Lee had driven McClellan to his gunboats in the James, and had dealt him crushing blows on every field, the enthusiasm knew no bounds. Old men, who had ridden for miles from the country to learn what was going on, joined the juveniles, and each other, in huzzas for Jeff Davis and the Southern Confederacy, while the ladies waved their handkerchiefs as a token of their loyalty to their country's /?aiiwo Thus amid such scenes as these, Mechanics ville, Gaines's Mill, Fraser's Farm and Malvern Hill were admitted to their re- j spective places in American history. The people of Western York, and those j whom it is hoped these reminiscenses will interest, should not beun mindful of the fact that, to Mr. John R. Alexander, post master at Yorkville during the war, they owe j a debt of gratitude, for his attention to business and official courtesy, in promptly forwarding matter to its destination. The writer received The Enquire it regularly l in camp, and through its columns kept j posted as to the different commands from j York county, as well as the general news j from home. During that time the paper was under the management of the late Mr. ; John E. Grist, father of the present proprietor, Capt. L. M. Grist, who was in the . army, and who frequently wrote letters to it for publication. The paper came to us j wrapped in Confederate wrapping paper, j and addressed by the manager in thfct ?lain, legible hand, which he always wrote, 'he paper was read and read again until it was worn out-. One copy we preserved for a long time,'^iit finally lost it. It was the one that gave an account of the bombardment of Bay Point and Hilton Head by 1 the Federal fleet on the 7th of November, 1861, written by "L. M. G." A reproduction of that letter would interest its readers at the present day. j. l. s. 1 k $hr 4rarm and fireside. A CIREFUR DIPHTHERIA. R. Munich, proprietor of a drug establishment in Leipsic, Saxony, publishes in the Pharmacist, a medical paper, a remedy for diphtheria which has had surprising success. He urgently presses all physicians to tryjit for the benefit of all patients suffering from the disease, and also requests the press to publish it. He says: "My little daughter, seven years of age, has had diphtheria twice within some weeks, with severe feverabout 105 Fahrenheit. We gave with great success rectified oil of turpentine (oleum terebinthinie rectificatum). Dose, one teaspoonfull in the morning and the same at evening." Adults should take one teaspoonful. Afterward drink a little lukewarm milk to allay the burning in the throat. For children tne second uose ran uu mixed with milk, which will render it easier to take. The result is really marvelous. The inflamation of the abnormal diphtheric spots in the throat grows lighter at the edges, and in this way they gradually shrink until in twenty-four hours they disappear entirely, leaving no sign. To quiet the inflamed tonsils the throat was gargled at first every two hours, and then every three hours with the following gargle: One ounce chlorate of potash to forty ounces of distilled water. This remedy has been used witli perfect satisfaction both by adults and children, not one case ending fatally. The Milwaukee Volksblatt quoted this remedy from a German paper, and afterward received a letter from a subscriber in Mitchell coufity. Iowa, saying that a child in the writer's family was attacked by diphtheria, treated by local physicians, and died; then four other members of the same family were similarly attacked, treated by this remedy, and, I am happy so tell you, all recovered." A New York physician says that there is nothing better for the treatment of diphtheria than tar smoke. It has been used by many physicians in New York and found most efficacious. The method consists in closing the room tightly and burning a quantity of pitch on a red-hot stove or shovel. The smoke dissolves the fibrous matter that chokes the patient, and gives almost instant relief. A remedy so easy to try is certainly worth remembering. Reviving Fruit lfukes,-^S. I>. Pratt, of Penn Yan, N. Y., writes the Farmers' Club of the American Institute, concerning the care of fruit trees, as follows: "Remembering Professor Liebig's theory that when a vegetable is burned the part which came from the air in the process of its growth returns to the atmosphere, and the rKimo fpnm the nround is re cluced to ashes, I came to tTie conclusion that ashes would be beneficial when applied to the roots of trees. They were standing in soil strongly inclined to clay, with a turf around them which had not been removed for several years. After pruning them properly, removing every indication of worms, &c., and washing the body and branches with soap suds, I began operations below?first removing the turf about two feet around the tree, then with a garden pick the ground was loosened from six to twelve inches in depth, taking care not to injure the larger roots. Twenty or thirty quarts of loose dirt was removed, leaving a large cavity, shaped like a saucer, with the tree standing in the centre. About one pint of unleached ashes was sprinkled about the tree and upon this chip manure was placed, nearly filling the cavity. Another pint of ashes was sprinkled upon the fertilizer, which was gently pressed down and the whole covered with, the loose dirt taken from the cavity, leaving the surface nearly as it was, excepting the turf. A young orchard was treated in a similar way. The effect was wonderful. Plum trees that were 'going' to be'bad,' revived. Peach trees that had presented small and shriveled leaves threw out a luxuriant foliage, and cherry trees gave fruit larger and fairer than ever before."?[New York Weekly Herald. How to Boil and Stew.?To do either properly, the food must be immersed at the beginning in actually boiling water, and the water must be allowed to reach the boiling point immediately, and to boil for about five minutes. The action of the boiling water upon the surface of either meat or vegetable is to harden it slightly, just enough to prevent the escape of either juices or mineral salts. After the pot containing the food has begun to boil the second time, it should be removed to the side or the tire anciauowea to simmer until tne food is done. This si- nmering, or stewing, extracts all the innutritious qualities of either meet or vegetables. The pot should be kept closely covered, unless for a moment when it is necessary to raise the cover in order to remove the scum. The steam will condense inside in drops of moisture, if the boiling is slow. Do not think that rapid boiling cooks faster than the gentle process I recommend. After the pot once boils you cannot make its contents cook any faster if you have tire enough under it to run a steam engine. So save your fuel and add to the tire little by little, to keep the pot boiling. Remember if you boil meat hard and fast it will be tough and tasteless, and most of its goodness will go up the chimney, or out of the window with the steam. What Kills Fruit Trues.?Deep planting is the one error, remarks the Massachusetts Ploughman?to plant a tree rather shallower than it formerly stood is really the right way, while many plant a tree as they would a post. Roots are of two kinds?the young and tender rootlets, composed entirely of cells, the feeders of the trees, always found near the surface getting air and moisture, and roots of over one year old, which serve only as supporters of the tree and conductors of its food. Ilence the injury that ensues when the delicate rootlets are so deeply buried in the earth. Placing fresh, oV green manure in contact with the young roots is another great error. The place to put manure is on the surface, where the ' elements disintegrate, dissolve and carry it downward. Numerous forms of fungi are generated and reproduced by the application of such manures directly to the roots, and they immediately attack the tree. It is very well to enrich the soil at transplanting the tree, but the manure, if to l>e m contact with or near the roots, should be thoroughly decomposed. I ? AST A writer in the Country Gentleman suggests a co-operative system by which farmers of small means might have tlie use of expensive and valuable tools, at little cost. ''There are many tools, the use of which being being needed by a farmer for a day or too only, are too expensive for even such as have means in plenty, to buy for the little use they have lor llieill?much us giuiu luuin, mmiuic spreaders, tedders, lug and circular saws, etc.?and so they toil on in the hardest way, doing their work at great disadvantage, in a much poorer manner and at a great loss of time. One can travel in any direction through a farming district for miles without finding such tools, much as they would better and facilitate farm operations, though they might he available if a half dozen farmers would unite in the purchase and use them in common. This is certainly worth trying. How to Mark Stove Blacking?Soak half an ounce of gum trangacanth over night in a pint of warm water. In the morning add two large spoonfulls of starch, previously mixed in cold water, and boil fifteen minutes, then add four ounces of powdeied black lead, one dessert spoonful of molasses and another pint of water, shaking or stirring all well together. Shake before using, and apply when the stove is nearly cold. This will make no unpleasant smell when the stove is heated. By using two ounces of lampblack (or better, fine ivory black) in place of black lead, an equally good blacking for harness and other leather win be made. fira)r White clover is the best grass that can be grown for sheep. Sheep are not partial to tall grass, and the white clover will always be selected by them in preference to other kinds. &AKltfG POWDER Absolutely Pure. m . . ....

I commenced last January to use B. it. B., and nflcr using five bottles I felt better and stouter than 1 have in thirty years, my health is better and I weigh more than I ever did.
