Chicken Cholera?Preventive, &c, &c Deab Hoyt: You very well know the great solicitude of our better halves, and housewives generally, on this subject. "Chicken Cholera" seems to be a mysterious disease, and as much as has been written and published in our pa? pers on the cause, ?See., we are yet left in the dark. There is no doubt that a predisposing or producing cause of this very fatal and much dreaded disease exists. Who shall have the credit of the preventive discovery ? In conversation a few days since with the wife of an industrious and prosperous farmer on the subject of poultry, I inquired: "Do you get many eggs this winter ?" "Yes?if I was to say at least five hundred I should be not far wrong." "Have you had the chicken cholera at any time recently among your flock ?" "No, sir ; Ih&?e& preventive oi that disease." "Do inform me, madam, for that is what I am seeking." "Well, sir, you know that if pigs are allowed to- lie in the dry dust under a house it w?ll produce disease and death." "Yes, madam, and myriads of fleas, besides." "Well, sir, I believe the same cause produces cholera in fowls, and to prevent it, I have my houses?even if I have to tear up the floors? raked and sweeped under twice a year, and after raking and sweeping, sprinkled with cold water." "A good remedy for fleas, madam, where hogs have been allowed to sleep under the house; but new as to chicken cholera." "Well, sir, try it. Here is my neighbor, Mr. S., in two hundred yards of my house, losing ehickens weekly?daily, I may say. I lose none," Mr. Editor, please excuse me if I have given more details than I need have done; but all our discoveries are not made through scientific investigations. "TaU oaks from little acorns grow." Let us not reject or repudiate any proposition until we have by investigation de? monstrated its falsity. As quacks say of their prescriptions, "if it does no good it will do no harm." If it does not benefit chickens, it may those above the floor of a house of much de? caying vegetable matter and other filth under it And as we are on the subject of poultry, in which every good housewife is interested, allow me to make an extract or two from our highly appreciated paper, the American Agri? culturist, sent me by a friend. On the subject of poultry, the editor says: "Clean the house, sprinkle with crude car? bolic acid and water. Carbolic soap, rubbed ?n the roosts,- finds its way into the feathers, and kills the lice. Whitewash all the wood? work, and if a little carbolic acid is added, so much the better." Again he says: "Now that the season has arrived for the raising of chick? ens, it is well to know that the powdered sul? phur of the druggists is the cheapest, handiest and best thing yet discovered for killing para? sites that infest setting hens, and find their way to fresh pastures upon the chickens as soon as the latter are hatched. Many times people complain that when their chickens are a week old, they droop and die from the attacks of Targe lice, which literally cover the heads of the birds. If examination is made earlier, it will be found that the insects have taken up their abode upon the chickens' heads while stllliirthe nest, for they forsake the hen, pre? ferring the chickens. It is bad business to have to catch the chickens and hen for treat? ment after they have left the nest, when the remedy can be applied with so little trouble before hatching begins. A week or so after the hen has been given her clutch of eggs, sprinkle them and the whole of the nest, and the straw for a little distance around it, with the sulphur when the hen is ofE The night following at? tend to the hen herself by lantern light. Dis? turb her just enough to make her bristle up her feathers, and then dust sulphur well down to their roots. Go over her whole body thor? oughly, excepting the parts in contact with the nest, and lift each wing and scatter a pinch and attend to head, neck, and tail. It will not injure the hen in the least, nor the chickens when they are hatched. We repeat the opera? tion at the interval of a week, ^though, per? haps, one application is sufficient,) and have never found the slightest trace of vermin upon hen or chickens afterwards. Use two small handfuls. It costs little, either in money or trouble. Tobacco, snnff, grease, carbolic pow? der, etc., are not to be compared with sulphur for this particular purpose, and the best dust bath privileges for the Leu are not to be relied upon alone." I desire, Mr. Editor, when the ladies come to the polls they will not send me to Congress, and more especially to our own Legislature, for this Valuable information. Hut smaller favors will be thankfully received. If the editors of the Kcowcc Courier and Pickens Sentinel think this article worthy, they will please copy, changing the address. Truly yours, S., of Pendle ton. ? Delaware lasses take their lovers to sec a tomb stone in a country church yard in that wee State, which, according to inscription, was erected by the orders of Izates Anderson, who "died a bachelor," in order to "warn all young wen from imitating an example of celibacy which had yielded to himself no other eventu? al fruits but disappointment and remorse." ? In the valuable agricultural correspon? dence of the Cincinnati Gazelle, it is stated, upon experience, that the lifres of peach trees can be much prolonged by thinning out the fruit; also, that this thinning operation is nec? essary to bring forward first class fruit, which will more than make the difference in yield. If a peach tree is allowed to overbear it never recovers; no matter how much pains may be taken with it afterwards. The Fat Contributor's Experience in a Tern ?i perance Town. I stopped over night in a little town in Illi? nois, recently, where there is a large temper? ance majority among the favored sex who sling the ballot, and the consequence is, they have dispensed altogether with dram shops and bars. No license to sell liquor is permitted to any one, and a pretty sharp watch is kept to see 'that none is given away. This wouldn't have troubled me any, and I probably would not have known it, except that the landlord as soon as I registered motioned me mysteriously into the hall. "Stranger," said he, as he closed the door, keeping nis hand on the knob, "this is the worst temperance town in America. They don't allow us to sell a drop, tavem-keepers'n no one else. Can't buy it at the drug store. But I know how it is with traveling men; they like a drop of suthin' to take when they get to a hotel. Now here (putting his hand to his coat-tail pocket and producing a small flask), here is some New Englan' rum that I can re? commend. Take a good horn; 't'll do you good. Nobody, can see you." I thanked the hospitable and sympathetic landlord who wanted to put the bottle to his neighbor's lips, but I declined. "All right," said he, after taking a swig himself; "when? ever yon feel like having a nip, just lemrae know." I sought my room, and was making my ab? lutions when there was a knock at the door. "Come in I" He came in, a good-humored looking man with a sunset glow on the end of his nose, who, after a furtive glance out in the hall, closed the door and turned the key. Then he advanced mysteriously toward me on tiptoe, with one hand to his mouth as he stated "S-h-h," while the other was reaching for his coat-tail pocket. I was a little startled at first, I must confess. Didn't know but I was to be made a victim to emotional insanity by an injured husband who had mistaken me for another man. But my fears were dispelled when he drew out a willow flask. It is a sufficiently deadly weapon in some hands, I know, but it doesn't scare me as a loaded revolver does, somehow. "Stranger," said ray visitor, as he set the flask down on the table, "our folks here has got temperance on the brain. Teetotal abst'nence has struck in. Ther' haint been a bar open goin' on two year. 'S good thing, no doubt, for them as cau't govern their appetites for licker, but it's kinder rough on the boys as 'casionally likes a drop. Aud it's rougher on strangers as stops in the town?gives 'em a bad idea of the place. I seen ye when ye kum in, and I thought ye looked dry. So I made bold to walk up here and offer you a dram out'n my fertie'lar flask. It's good; you can 'pend on't. 'ure old Bourbon whiskey, right from Cincin? nati." "My mysterious and unknown friend," said I, "I thank you for your extremely thoughtful kindness. An experience of several years in observing the effects of Cincinnati whiskey satisfies me that you have got a good article there, and one that I could safely warrant, but I don't feel the need of any just now." "All right, old Cap.," said my caller, taking a long pull at the flask himself. "All right. You don't have to. If you get dry, though, call on me." It was a pleasant afternoon, and I sauntered down on to the street for a walk. The landlord was sitting on the front stoop with a party of friends, and with that desire to make it pleas? ant for me which was so marked a feature in our first interview, he introduced me all around. If there is anything I like better than another it is being introduced all around to a party, say of twenty-five or thirty. You know them all the next time you see them, you know, and can call their names so readily. And it is so pleasant to be suddenly and unexpectedly called upon to converse with twenty-five or thirty strangere, particularly' when you are not in humor to converse with your most intimate friends. But that is one of the most common forms of American introduction, and you know how it is yourself. I at length mentioned that I was going to take a little walk, and immediately a couole of my new-made friends volunteered to accompa? ny me and show me the town. After seeing the town, which didn't require much time, as it wasn't very large, they were very anxious that I should see their new race-track. Of a naturally yielding nature (as the track was when I found it), I complied., I praised their track, as they seemed to expect I should. Told them there were few tracts.issued by the American Tract Society equal to it. I eulo gizcd*their entrance gate, (admired their gait, you know,) extolled the ticket-office, and lav? ished words of the highest commendation on the judges' stand, lhat stand, I told thom, couId stand anything, and I innocently inquired if it could stand treat. Then they insisted on taking me up on the judges' stand, but I stoutly resisted that, though I finally compromised by looking into a little room beneath the stand called thejudges' room. Once in there they shut the door and?you may not believe it, but it is so?each of those young men drew a flask out of his pocket and offered me a drink! I will not repeat to you the indignant and scathing rebuke I administered to those young men, and it is hardly necessary for me to say I emptied their flasks?both their flasks?right where I stood, as a salutary warning to them against trifling with the temperance regulations of their native town, or attempting to lead an innocent traveler astray. I positively never had so many snares laid for me and temptations spread before me as I had in that temperance town, where they didn't sell a drop. They were a most generous and hospitable people, though, and did so hate to see a stranger suffer. They didn't seem to care so much for themselves, but liked to have a little within reach when a traveler came along. Wearied with resisting these clandestine in? vitations to "take suthin'," I at length an? nounced my desire to go to bed. A colored man showed me up to my room, and asked if there was anything 1 wanted. I told him no. He hesitated, walked to the stove and poked the fire (he was an origiual Polk Democrat), then turned his attention to the lamp, to see if that was properly trimmed and burning, got as far as the door, aud hesitated again. "Well, what do you want, George?" said I. I always call a colored man George, because more than half the time that is his name, and when it is not he likes to be called George, because the father of his adopted country was. I suppose I know a dozen colored men whose names were originally Pete, or Julius Caesar, or Epaminondas, who have gone and got their names changed to George because they liked to hear me call them George so well. "What do yon want, George?" said I. "Oh, mithin', sar," said George, twirling his old soft hat on his thumb, as he leaned against the door-casing, "but I thought"? here his head dropped in an embarrassed way, and hu fell to scratching his left shiu-boue* with his right toe. "Well, what did you think, George?" said I, encouragingly, supposing he wanted a little scrip to send to the missionaries in Africa. "If you'll 'scuse rac," replied George, at length, giving up scratching his shin and scratching his head, "I thought, bein's you'sc a stranger heah"? "Well, George, go on." "An' de license law's a little clus"? "Yes, jes* so." "You might want a little drink 'fof you goes to bed. Now in my pocket I jes got"? He got no further with his speech, but ho "jes' got" out of the door and down the stairs in about two jumps, for he saw by the excited way in which 1 was pawing around tho stove that I was going for the poker.?Cincinnati Times._ ? .Why is an oyster like a horse ? Because , he can't climb a tree. J The Murder of the Innocents. No comniunity, however moral or religious, or well governed in its municipal department, but may expect to be startled out of its wits, espe? cially in the anomalous time iu which we live. We have no'less than six churches in this blessed town of Newberry, all of which are spiritually taken care of by good men and true; we have an Intendant and Wardens of charac? ter and intelligence,and municipal laws enough for a town of its size; besides which we have United States Marshals and Constables suffi? cient to frighten the souls out of men, women and children, and keep down any appearance of disorder or crime. In fact, the people of this community are a peculiar people, and are well guarded and looked after, and yet occasionally there will crop out something not dreamed of. The severity of the winter and backward spring kept nearly every kind of crop down besides, and politically and agriculturally we have been able to do but little. The animal kingdom too has been quiet?the beef market showing the poorest, bluest meat?;he birds of the air and the fowls on their ncs'zs have done but little also, and yet sometimes we hear of things which we little expected. Jost so was it a few mornings since, we heard a cry?it was a pecu? liar cry?a young, feeble cry, but one which we scarcely failed to recognize?all married men having families and children soon become fa? miliar to the sound of this cry, and can tell it among a variety of other sounds. We heard it. It did not increase in volume, it was too young for that, and rather grew weaker and feebler for lack of strength, but the first sound was sufficient. We followed it up and saw? oh?and strange to say not an officer of any kind was about?yes, we saw an old citizen of this town, a member of the Methodist church, with curly locks, a father of an interesting family?one of whom married not long since, under favorable circumstances, and is living in the fear of God, and the blessed hope that the present political troubles may soon be ended, and wc all shall be permitted to dwell peacea? bly under the vines and fig trees of our own planting. Yes, we saw this man, and the cry came from under his arm; it was hard to be? lieve, but truth is strenger than fiction; this old, respected citizen, upon whose head the frosts of sixty winter?, had fallen, and not a grey hair is yet visible, after an early breakfast, took a stand, and meeting a colored man, and here i3 the strange part, where were the United States Marshals all this time?he met this col? ored man, one of a cla^s of citizens for whose welfare and happiness the government has al? most made a portion of the people bankrupt, and stopped him on the highway, and proceed? ed to?oh, for strength and ability to go on with this talc. The white man had money and the darkey none, but he had that which he prized as much, three little chickens, and he was persuaded to part with them. And this is what we saw, this old vrhite citizen, with these little unfledged chicks., going towards home, his hungry appetite callous to their tender cries. It was cruel. Those were the first which have beeu brought in. We uuderstand that foul murder was committed on these inno? cents, and that the citizen who did the deed shows no compunction of conscience, and is still at large.?Newberry Herald. ? Wm. Gilmore Simmh.?The following touch? ing tribute to the memory of the late Wm. Gil more Simms is from the iCingstree Star : It is a noble characteristic of any people to ">nor their dead. It is peculiarly so when they honor those in death who shed renown on them while living. Civilisation and refinement should foster this sentiment. True greatness is of rare occurrence. It should be honored and perpetuated. We are accustomed to laud with enthusiastic paeans the acts of some lucky indi? vidual who has suddenly thrown to the surface by the accident of war; whose effervescing greatness is the work of a day only, and whose reputation cost nothing of learning or thought to make it enduring. But in the present in? stance we are paying homage to one whose whole life was one of intellectual toil for the mental advancement of mankind. Mr. Simms, to whose memory it is proposed to erect a mon? ument, was a distinguished son of this State, and by his rare erudition and literary attain? ments, has added additional lustre and repu? tation to its history. His fame as a poet, nov? elist and historian is not confined alone to this State, but wherever literature is admired and genius appreciated, his works occupy a high eminence. As a literary writer he ranks among the best American authors. He has left be? hind him a rich legacy to the people of his na? tive State?the productions of his fine powers of imagery, and wonderful and capacious mind, upon which they may dwell with ecstatic de? light. It is but justice to his genius and mem? ory that tho present generation?the citizens of old South Carolina?should show their respect and appreciation of him, by erecting over his mortal remains a design in token of their re? membrance of his worth. At a recent meeting in Charleston the project was commenced, and a call is now made to per? fect the object. That venerable and distin? guished citizen of the State, Hon. Alfred Huger, whose life is a synonym of everything that is honorable and pure, is at the head of the movement. There is something beautiful? ly touching in this octogenarian calling on the people of this State, though oppressed like himself, they may be, to come forward with a portion of their remaining remnants and dedi? cate them to assist in erecting over the grave of their dead author and patriot, a monumental emblem. He is like a father leading his chil? dren to the tomb of a son of a stricken mother. Let us heed his invitation. Let it not be said by the descendants of the people of this State, when in after years, their minds aro fed by reading the tender thoughts and lofty senti? ments of Simms, that the people among whom he lived, and of whom he sung so beautifully, were too unappreciative of his brilliant gifts to mark the spot where he rests; that "They carved not a lino, they raised not a stone, But left him alone in his glory." An Unconscious Highwayman.?We have heard a great deal of highway outrages of late, but did not deem that we should be called up? on to chronicle one, but such is the case. A physician living on Brooklyn Heights was re? cently hurrying homeward, quite late in the evening, when a man, apparently drunk, stag? gered out of a tavern, and jostled him. The good doctor did not wish to make a disturbance, so he stepped aside ami let the drunken man pass on. The man's condition, however, did not prevent him from walking quite fast, and he soon left the doctor behind. The latter suddenly bethought himself to feel for his watch. It was gone! But he was equal to the occasion. Taking his pistol from his pocket be ran after the man, overtook and collared him. "Now, you rascal," cried he in a terrible voice, "hand out that watch, or I shall put a ball into you I" The man demurred at first, but the doctor's voice and manner were too much for him. Ho was there was nothing else to do, and so he handed out the watch. When the doctor reached home he told the adventure to his wife. "But, my dear," said she, "you did not take your watch with you. There it is ou the table, where you left it!" There is no use of going into further partic? ulars. The doctor had committed highway robbery on an unknown man, and that was the best that could be said of it. ? Samuel Harriman, of St. Croix, Wiscon- j sin, retired from military life with a brevet i Brigadiershin. "Good-bye, General," were the parting words of his old comrades in the army. "Howare you, Colonel?" was -the salutation on reaching Wisconsin. As ho approached home this began to come down to "How d'ye do, Captain ?" and finally, when ho came among the boys at home, lie was greeted with, I "Hallo, Sam; got buck again, V[ I All Sorts of Paragraphs. ? A rejected lover says any fool can make women talk, but ifr's rather hard to make one listen. ? The editor of an Eastern paper says that many of his patrons would make good wheel horses, they hold back so well. ? Some young men arc a little partial to blue eyed maidens ; others like dark eyed las? ses, but the mon-eyed girls have the most sui? tors. ? "0, my dear, there is a most lovely set pin, ear-rings, and sleeve-buttons. Do go buy them." "Yes, my dear, I mean to go by them as fast as possible." ? There is, perhaps, no time at which we arc disposed to think so highly of a friend as when we see him standing higher than we ex? pected in the esteem of others. ? In ancient days the proverb was "know thyself;" in modern times it has been supplan? ted by the far more fashionable maxim? "Know thy neighbor and everything about him." ? "Mother," said a little boy, "I've got a bad headace and a sore throat, too." "Well, you shall have some medicine," said the mother. "It's no matter," retorted the shrewd urchin, "I've got 'cm?but they don't hurt me." ? A seedy and unhappy looking man, en? tering a revival meeting in Mississippi, took a scat near the pulpit. The clergyman, noticing his forlorn appearance, stepped up to him and asked if he was a Christian. "No," said he; "I am editor of the village paper." ? A young lady says she cannot see any? thing so wonderful in the newspapers predict? ing the weather, as they always know before? hand what the fashions are going to be, and she is sure there is nothing in nature so fickle as the fashions. ? A correspondent of a Baltimore paper wants to know why marriages and death noti? ces should be paid for ? For the best of rea? sons, one is an advertisement of copartnership, and the other is a notice of dissolution. Busi? ness is business. ? The largest clock in the world is in the English House of Parliament; the dials, of which there arc four, are twenty-two feet in di? ameter, and the pendulum is fifteen feet long. The bell upon which the hours are struck is eight feet high and nine feet in diameter, and weighs nearly fifteen tons. ? A lady converted a gentleman to the fe? male suffrage doctrine the other day. He met her in the street during a storm", and lent I her his umbrella; she has not returned it, and he believes now that women should have just the same privileges as men, and no more. ? A layman in Providence who occasionally exhorted at evening meetings, thus explained his belief in the existence of a Deity: "Breth? ren, I am just as confident that there is a Su? preme Being as I am that there is flour in Al? exandria, and that I know to a certainty, as I yesterday received from there a lot of three hundred barrels of fresh superfine, which I will sell as low as any person in town." ? An editor and his wife were walking out in the bright moonlight one evening. Like all editor's wives, she was of an exceeding poetic nature, and said to her mate, "Notice that moon ; how bright, and calm, and beautiful." "Couldn't think of noticing it," replied the editor, "for anything less than the usual rates one dollar and fifty cents for twelve lines." ? The local editor of the Jacksonville Jour? nal wrote the other day an item to the effect that "winter was lingering in the lap of Sring," but the managing editor "cut it out." e said the idea was good enough, and origi? nal, and all that sort ofthing, but it would not do to publish, because the high moral tone of the paper had to be maintained in a town full of seminary girls. ? A practical teetotal bootmaker advertises in an English paper that in consequence of his having caught a cold, through going to church on a damp night, he begs all his ministerial friends to pray for his recovery, as hundreds of the poor in his native town and surrounding villages arc waiting for him to supply them with.some cheap and strong boots and shoes from his establishment. ? The long duration of the Tichborne trial has attracted some attention in England to the length to which suits are sometimes protracted, and the Morning Post recalls the fact that the longest on record in England is that between the heirs of Sir Thomas Talbot, Viscount Lisle, and the heirs of Lord Berkeley. The title to certain possessions was in question, and the suit, beginning in the reign of Edward IV., was not concluded till the reign of James I., and then only by compromise. It had lasted 120 years. ? During the trial of a case a witness per? sisted iu testifying to what his wife told him. To this, of course, the attorney objected. He would proceed again to tell "shust how it vas," when the attorney would sing out: "How do you know that V* "My vifo told me," was the answer. This was repeated several times.? Presently the Judge, becoming unable to con? tain himself longer, interrupted : "Suppose your wife were to tell you that the heavens had fallen, what would you think?" "Veil, I dink dey vas down!" Abbevillk and the Gold Kf.gjox.?Our County has for a long time been famed for its rich mineral deposits, and new fields of hidden wealth have lately been discovered. A range of country, in the lower part of our County, contains unmistakable marks of vast leads of fold ore, and new discoveries are constantly eing made. Dorn's Gold Mine, which has been worked for so many years with great suc? cess, is producing better than it has done. Dr. Ligon, of White Hall, tells us of a rich gold mino that has been discovered in his neighborhood. Some little work has been done at it, and the ore is very rich, he having panned out in one day the large amount of five ounces. Tuomey, the State Geologist, some years ago, prospected in this neighborhood, and pronoun? ced the depoMts of gold as being very valuable and rich. The vein or Dr. Ligon's place is about fifty feet wide, and about five deep. The dirt is worth S?.00 per bushel. Facilities for work, engines, &c, arc on the ground, and greater than Peruvian wealth is anticipated. Three or four small veins of gold have been discovered, near the same place, and all go to show that there is gold in the largest quanti? ties in old Abbeville. Wo hope that mining operations may be commenced, and that our people may secure that independence of fortune which they so much deserve.?Abbeville Medium. Captured and Abandoned Piioperty.? Chief Justice Chase has delivered an opinion in the Supremo Court of the United States, in the case of Parquod agniust the United States, which opens the way to numerous ac? tions growing out of the late war. The casein point was a proceeding to recover the proceeds of a lot of cotton, seized under the Captured and Abandoned Property Act of 18(53, on ap? peal from the Court of Claims, and was argued at the last term of the court. The Court of Claims dismissed the petition on the ground that it did not aver that the claimant had not given aid or comfort to the rebellion, and that it did not sufficiently aver executive pardon. The Chief Justice held (the same as in the case of Armstrong vs. United States, recently de? cided,) that the President's proclamation of December 2?, 180S, granting pardon and am? nesty unconditionally and without reservation, relieves the claimants, iu all cases under tho Captured and Abandoned Property Act, from proof of adhesion to the United States during the late war, and the judgment dismissing the petition was reversed. it will be seen that this is the second decision of the kind that has been rendered, and al? ready many persons in the South have taken advantage of it. Under these decisions most of the property taken at the South during the War can be reclaimed. ' XOW IS THE TIME! SOMETHING NEW IN ANDERSON!! BEGIN WITH THE NEW YBAB! A GRAND GIFT ENTERPRISE !!!
