German Carp.
Maj. Thomas B. X*ee received from thc
Phdi Commissioner lost February fifteen
German Carp, of the previous spring hatch
ing, which he placed in the -nill-pond, some
five miles above Anderson. A inll'.-boy
waa fishing in the pond about two weeks
ago and caught ono of these fish without
knowing tho nature of his prize. He kout
the fish .out of water until he went to thc
mill to tako his grist home, when Mr. W.
8. Lee recognized the Carp, and, being eur
prisca at its size, ascertained ita weight tc
be one and a half pound". The fish, how
ever; was dead, and waa therefore a great
loss in thc effort tu stock the pond. This ia
a remarkable growth, and provee the Carp
to be well auaptcd both to stocking out
streams and private ponds. Every person
who can make u pond ahould procure some
of this species of tho finny I nbc, which il
is said can bo raised moro _-aily and cheap

for bar many virtues and estimable quail

"Mrs. Benson was bom in South Carol lin

Shot to Death by His Own Hand?.
On last Friday, 10th instant, at abou
half past ono o'clock in the afternoon. Mi
William Davis, a son of Mr. W. L. Davit
of Centreville township, took his own Hf
by shooting himself through tho heart win
a pistol. The causo assigned by bia famil;
for tho act, which so tm 3 to have been com
tnitted with delibere'jon and while the dc
ceased was in full possession of all bis men
tal faculties, was domestic infelicities, prc
duccd by tho consequences of an unhapp
marriage, After living together four c
five years, he and his wife separated tb
lat*erpart of last February, the latter tal
ing with her tho two children that bad bee
bom to them. Since that time the decease
had made repeated efforts to get the chi
dren, but failed, owing to the mother's ur,
willingness to give them up. This, it seem
was tho trouble that preyed upon tbe ur
fortunate man's mind most, and that mai
death preferable to life.
Aa soon as the information of thc mamu
of Mr. Davis' death reached tho Corone
Joseph W. Keye, Esq., tho Sheriff was ii
stractcd to summons a jury of inques
which was dono on Saturday morninj
when the Coroner proceeded to thc res
de. A. ot Mr. W. L. Davis, tho place 1
which the suicide was committed, an
there held tho usual inquest, at which tl
following testimony was taken :
George Williams, being sworn, depose
as follows :
I went to Mr. Leb Davis' about 1 o'cloe
Before I left home I heard a pistol or gu
shot in tha woods near by. I live in aboi
two hundred and fifty yards of Mr. Davii
When I got to Mr. Davis' William Davi
deceased, was bitting on tho door step, h
mother sitt'.r.g in tho bouso. Ho had

(producing tho pistol) as the ono bc had I
his hand. His mother told hun he hi
! better put it away, and ho laid it or. a che?
? I said to bim wc would go to tho well ar
get some water, and we done ao. He r
marked he had to go to plowing pretty soo
bnt dil not start immediately. He said 1
was in a heap of tronblo. Before we wc;
to tho well for water, Wm. Davis, decease
and his mother were talking about I
children. He said bo was In BO niui
trouble that he had os soon bo dead, at
said if be could not get ot trouble 01
way ho could another. I told him peor
could never get out of trouble in thia wort
He remarked that our Saviour rose on t
7th day. I told him no, it was tho 3d da
and be said yes. that was so, and we w
risc tho ?-ame. He then said, "I must
to the plow." end went through tho hou:
Mrs. Davis invited mo in the house, and
went in and sat down at the back door,
saw Wm. Davis atop and sit down in
chair close to tho chest where ho had le
the pistol. His mother was sweeping t
house. He afterwards went out of t
house, and in about three minuteSTnca
a pistol fire, and I beard Wm. Davis lu
low, "Oh, Lordy, Mama; ob, Lord!"
knew it was his voice, but could not t
precisely the direction it came from,
then went for Mr. Leb. Davis. I was nt
enough to see Mr. Leb. Datls when
found his son. Thia was about 2 o'clo
p. m. on the 10th day of June. After <
body was moved away I saw this same r
toi lying on tho ground near where ho v
lying. I tbon went back home with 1
wife There was no one present about I
house except myself, Mrs. Davis, and 1
deceased. Mrs. Davis and myself hun
about half an hour for Wm. Davis. 1

I was out on my plantation when

health at dinner time, and cat his din
aa usual. I came homo from tho field v,
him. I left thc house as soon as I cat
dinner. I left my son William then
bring the horses to tho field to plow as a
as the horses were done eating. About
hour after I left the house Mr. Willi:

have ?'nets and figures of the most rt
kind, and need not indulge In co*iicet
Tho report of last year showed tl
par cent, of all convictions in tho Stat
tor offences directly caused by liquor,
aa drunkenness and adling liquor w
a license. But this left 40 per cent. <
convictions indeterminate, ar ' it was the
object of tbe bureau to ascertain -bat pro
portion of this quantity could be traced to
rum. The investigation was limited to
Suffolk County, as it was acanwed that the
figures for it might be accepted,aa a euj?
ciently aocorateIndex to those of the whole
Commonwealth, and, indeed, to the whole
tountry. In one respect the etatisticu of
the county chosen diner from tooee of the
whole State ; they give 75 per cent, as tb?
proportlon of crimes directly traceable to
.Iqeor, auob uuruiiKctinap?, ana they leave
but 28 per cent, to be investigated.
Tho inquiry was conducted with great
care. In every court of the county an
.gent was paid to investigate each case.
Ho was to talk with the criminal, with his
friends, with tho officers who arrested him,
and be was to inquire into tho history of
tho criminal. Each cato ?as examined in
five directions : 1, It waa asked whether
tho criminal was under the influence of
iiouorat the timo the deed vas done; 2,
Whether he was in liquor when be foi-mcd
tba intenttn commit wt irim? ; 8, Whether
be bad been led by intemperate babita
into a condition which induced the com.
mission oi the crime ; 4, Whether. tho in
temperate hnbiis of others lcd bim into a
condition which induced the commission
of tho crime; and. 5, Whet wore tho drink
ing iiabits of the criminal, whether bowaa
a total abstob .er, a moderate drinker, or an
excessive drinker. There wero other pre
cautions which tended to maka the statis
tier conclusive.
Tho results obtained are exhibited in a
variety of ways in a number of tables. Wq
can only state the one fact that tho Investi
Sado-, resulta In thoaddition of 12 per cent,
o tho 721?. cent, of crimes already direct
ly traceable to rum, making, a total of 84
per cent, duo to this one cauec. Most of
these are crimes against persons, such as as
saults, murders, and rouberries. Tho fig
ures which the bureau baa collected at so
much cost of labor and patience may well
startle the legislator and the tax-payer, and
arouse to renewed dilligcncc thc advocates
of prohibition.
A Model Farmer.
MK. EDiTon: A few yearn ago tho
Messrs Olenn, three BOOB of Mr. F. M.
Glenn, purchased t > valuable McCano
farm of Maj. T. H. MoCann. For this
property they paid twelve dollars per
aero-Rix thousand dollars. One-third of
this amount waa paid in cash, tho balance
baa neon mado on tho farm, and tho pay
ments promptly met. Tho oidor of tue
three brothers, T. S. Glonn, has bad
special chargo of the farm, and well and
successfu"y has he performed the respon
sible duly. Tho McCain; farm ls ono ol
tho oldest Bottled placo3 in tho upper edge
ofUAndorson County, and has boon in thc
possession of tho old proprietor, Maj
McCauu, somo sixty years or more. In
ante-bellum times tho Major waa alwayt
regarded as ono of our most successful
and progressive farmers. He may justlv
bo regarded os tho pioneer in tho uso o:
Peruvian guano and the cultivation o:
clover and grass. He maintained UH
fertility of the farm in a high conditio!
by tho liberal application of atablo anc
lot immure.;, supplemented with a judi
cious use -of guano and cotton scod
Consequently when tho purchase wai
made on the part of the Messrs. Glenr
tho farm waa already in a stale of ad
vanned cultivation. Under their skillfu
management the high character of tb<
farm has boon not only maintained, bu
considerably increased. Recently, ii
company with Mr. John M. Glenn, w<
passed ovor tho various crops in cultiva
tlon the prcsont year, and think tho man
ager of tho farm is justly entitled to th<
appellation of the model farmer. He hoi
made no attempt at special crops or pro
mium acres, but prefers by careful culti
vation and liberal manuring to bring ui
all the crops to the point ji I'beratant
remunerative yields. V/bilo cotton ii
the leading crop, yet the corn nnO smal
grain crops receive equal attention, nnt
are always arranged to yield a libera
supply for the farm itself. Tho corn ero]
is mostly planted on the fine botton
lands lying on the creek immedlatol;
nbove Rankin's old mill-site, which, i
few years ago, was lost to cultivation b;
overflow and othorwiso, but since tho re
moval of the dam it hos been nearly al
reclaimed (53 acres) and brought into
high state of cultivation. And otbe
farmers owning bottom lands along Bal
creek and above Bald dam ara gracluall
bringiug all these valuable lands int
cultivation, and very Boon the whole <
thom will be groaning under tho moi
luxuriant crops. Bot we have digrcssei
Tiie whoat crop of the Messrs. Gleai
although injured somewhat by the s?vei
diy weather, will average about te
bushols to tho a..Td. Tho oat crop, hov
over, will bo seriously cut off. TOO po
icy of Mr. Glonn seems to bo to raise a
abundant supply of the provision croi
and as much cotton besides as tho ham
can thoroughly manure and cultivai
v<?T. On these two points, liberal tn;
t -lng and careful cultivation, tarns tl
estiro success of these enterprising youn
men. And this principio not only appli<
to their individual crops, bat also to tbi
of all their renters. Tho samo carefi
cultivation which is manifest in thooro]
of tho proprietors themselves, ia also aj
parent in the crops of their renter
white and colored. Ono of tho rontore
cultivating on upland field in corn, calli
tho briar patch, which, Maj. MoCan
says, has beou in cultivation ono hui
dred years. With average seasons it wi
make four barrels of oom to tho acre,
is planted four feet oaoh way, ono stol
in the hill, and cultivated both wa;
with the plough. Mr. Glenn utilizes t
tho cotton soed on the farm in manurh
for wheat and cotton. For whoat ho a
Elies broadcast somo twenty-five or thlr
nshols to tho acre, and for cotton j
lists In some fifteen or twenty bushols
raw seed * o the aero, with about ono hn
drod and* "?enty-flve pounds acid. Upi
this, toe J0r v.-lth all tho stable and i
manure mat can be raked up, c bod
thrown with a turn plow, which lies
this condition till planting timo, thon t
bed is completed preparatory to plantli
tho crop. Mr. Glenn always planta i
his hoed crops Just as early aa tho seas
will admit. No postponing for ?"IO moa
a Good Friday, or any thing rli tho BO
but a pressing of the work of plant!
until the lost scod is put into the grout
And this principle applies to tho nottc
