Reports come from China say that at least 250,000 Chinese in the province of Chili are upon the verge, of starvation, owing, to the &jlure^ of crops. It is as? serted that-many are actually dying now from starvation; - ?:. * ? Judge -Hudson, in his charge to the grand-jury of Newberiyy. expressed him? self strongly in favor of.some change in the jury law that could secure a verdict without unanimous agreement. He thinks that one man being able to prevent a verdict impedes the administration of justice and offers a temptation to bribery and corruption. The Act passed at the recent Bession of the Legislature to enable school districts to levy special taxes to supplement the fund arising from the two mill tax, offers an opportunity to every aspiring commu nity ia South Carolina to extend the school term, and otherwise increase the facilities for free education. Nowhere in the State does the two mill tax suffice to run the schools long enough. The Baltimore Sun prints a long inter? view with President . Cleveland. The President says he does not believe the de? feat of tue Democratic party was caused by the tariff issue, and he regards the party as being now in better shape than at any time in its history. He-denies that he has been exclusive or has held himself aloof from the other leaders of the party, and says he has no further politicial ambitions, Und wiilnot he again a factor Jn politics. He declares that he accepted the second nomination with real reluc? tance, and regards his approaching retire? ment with a feeling of tremendous per? sonal relief. . The phosphate rock industry has proved ?to be a mine of wealth-to South Carolina. The fertilizer factories and the phosphate works -furnish employment to several thousand persons. Hundreds of thousands of outside capital have been invested here in the establishment of these industries. The Carolina rock is now the basis of the most valuable fertilizers manufactured in the world, and Carolina fertilizers have made many a wilderness to blossom as the rose. Last year the shipments of fer? tilizers amounted to 181,999 tons. This year will show a still further production, the output for January being 44,426 tons. ' The Board of Agriculture met and or? ganized in Columbia a few days ago. General Hagood wa3 re-elected president and L. A. Ransom,, secretary. -The non? payment of the money promised by the people of Spartanburg to secure the Ex? perimental Station was considered, and a committee was appointed to report at tho next quarterly meeting when the board will take action as to the continuance of the Station. They decided to continue the Farmer's Institute in such counties as desire them and make arrangements for them. The American Agriculturist has promised s premium of $500 for the largest yield of corn per acre anywhere in the United States. The Board propo? ses to duplicate this if taken by a South Carolina farmer, and in case of failure, they promise $100 to the competitor in -the State making the large it yield.. Death of Bishop McTyeire. ^?Nashville, Tenu., Feb. 15.?Holland N. McTyerie, senior Bishop of the Meth? odist Episcopal Church, South, died this morning at 9 o'clock, at his residence on Van d e rbilt University Campus. He was. born in Barn well County, S. C, July 18, 1828. He joined the church at Cokes* bury School, S. C. He began to preach in 1845, when he joined the Virginia Conference. In May, 1846, the first general Conference of the Church South was held "at Petersburg, and Mr. Mc? Tyerie was sent to Mobile, Ala. In Mobile he met the lady who became his wife, a cousin of the lady whom Com? modore Vanderbilt afterward married. This was the first link in the chain of causes that gave origin to the great Van? derbilt University. He was stationed at Deraopolis, Ala., Columbus,. Miss., and then at New Orleans, where he built Felicity Church, and founded the New Orlean Christian Advocate in 1851. In 1858 he became editor of the Nashville Christian Advocate and remained in that capacity till February 18,1875, when he left that city and did not return nntil 1867. He was elected Bishop in 1866. It was owing to Bishop McTyerie that Commodore Vanderbilt made the prince? ly gift, of $1,000,000 and William H.. Vanderbilt $50,000, and Cornelius' Van? derbilt $30^000 to Vanderbilt Univeraity, of which Bishop McTyerie was made . president for life. / The funeral will probably be from the s1^derb*4W^^r^i^:ciapel'on Sunday, and the body will be interred in the Uni? versity campus. The State Senate to-day adopted resolu? tions of sorrow at the death of Bishop McTyerie. A- Mixed School Experiment. Geobgetown, 0*, Feb. 17.?A peculiar state of affairs is brought to light among -the farming communities of this county, produced by the famous "Arnetfc law." Formerly our farmers had numerous col? ored tenants, but since the passage of the Arnett law, which makes mixed schools imperative, the colored tenant farmer; is being slowly driven away. Whenever his lease runs out, he is now quietly in? formed by his white landlord that the latter has another man for his place. Upon applying to other farmers in the same district, he is certain to be refused. In this manner white farmers gradually, without violent or harsh means, have re? moved colored people from among them, nntil there is not one left in some entire school districts. So the law which was intended to benefit the colored people, does positive injury to them. ?- There is great excitement .at JamaiJ ca, New York, over the action of the public school commissioners in excluding from the white school two children, who to all appearances were white. An in? quisitive female claims to have discovered a taint of colored blood in the mother of the children. Their father is a white man, who refuses to send his children to the colored school. The commissioners claim that they can do nothing, as the law requires all children of African descent to go to the colored school. They say that one drop of African blood set? tles the question. :-" ?:-1 CRISES AM) CASUALTIES. . Gbeenville, Feb. 13.?Calvin Nel? son, white, of Laurena County, was tried in the Federal District Court to day for counterfeiting nickels. He was convicted and sentenced to two years at hard labor in the Columbus, Ohio, State Penitentia? ry and to pay a fine of $100. New Orleans, Feb. 13.?A Picayune special from Water Valley, Miss., says: One of the foulest murders that ever disgraced this town occurred on Main street last night, when Jas. Jenkins's throat was cut from ear to ear. Will Harris, a saloon keeper, who was the per? son last seen in Jenkins's company, was arrested, charged with the crime. When Harris was searched a bloody knife was found in his shoe and the watch of the murdered man was found in his posses? sion. The sheriff started with his prison? er for the depot, when he was met by an infuriated mob who took possession of the prisoner and were preparing to hang him, when more conservative counsel prevailed,-and he was returned to the sheriff. Minneapolis,.Feb.?12.?A plucky serving girl at the house of A. M. Oritten den prevented the bouse being robbed last night. The girl had been left alone in the house to take care of a child, while the family were out. for the evening. At about 10.30 o'clock she heard a peculiar noise at the rear door, and a moment later the glass in the upper part of the door was broken in, and she heard some one fumbling at the bolt. She ran quickly up stairs, secured a revolver and rushing to the window directly over the door, pointed the revolver downward and fired. She heard two men shout, one of them evidently in pain. She waited, and saw two men, one supporting the other, who was holding his right arm, as if it were hurt, hurrying away from the house. A large pool of blood was found on the door step. ; New Yobe:, Feb. 15.?George Wick, twenty years old, a painter, of German parents, cut his head almost off with one desperate stroke of a razor this morning at his room, No. 816 West Thirty-ninth street, and bled to death in a minute. He came home in the forenoon, after lying in bed a few mo? ments got up and taking his young wife by the throat said: "Nellie, I am going to die, and you must die with me." She wrenched herself from, him and ran from the room to the room of a neighbor. Suddenly recollecting that their only child; a two-months-old baby, was lying in the crib she ran back with her neigh? bor. Her husband lay on the floor dead. The baby.was safe and cooing in the crib at the sight of the red blood. Despond? ency at his failure to secure work was the cause of the suicide. Atlanta, February 13.?One of the most shocking 'murders in the criminal history of Georgia was that of Mrs. Eliza Hargrove, a highly respected wh i te lady, aged 75 years, this afternoon about 1 o'clock. She is a widow and owns a large plantation . James M. Wood, a young man, has been superintending her farm for her. To-day she left the place where Wood and others were at work and' went home. Subsequently Wood went to the house, and when he returned he said he could not find Mrs. Hargrove. A son of Mrs. Hargrove's then went back with Wood and Mrs. Hargrove's body was found still warm. Her head had been crushed in by two blows with the pole of an axe, and a bloody axe was found in Wood's room. The old lady was well connected and highly respected. Bloodhounds were brought, but could find no trail. Wood is under guard and stronger. It is not improbable there will be a lynching in twenty-four hours. Chablotte, N. 0., Feb. 14.?The negroes in our Western mountains are having- considerable trouble with white desperadoes, who live there and follow the occupation of manufacturing and. selling illicit liquors. Of late these des? peradoes, who care for nothing save their distillery on the mountain side, have been making deperate efforts to run certain negroes, whom tbey believe have put officers on the track of their business, out of the County. But the negroes refuse to be scared or bulldozed, and have armed themselves and are ready for any fray.- Reports to-night from Cherokee County, where trouble is most imminent, bring particulars of a terrible and bloody fight last Tuesday night In that County, at a place called Marble, a negro by the name.of Lee Brown gave a dance at bis house that night, and ne? groes for miles around gathered there to have a jolly time. "Moonshine" whiskey was freely indulged, in, and about midnight the crowd was pretty drunk, women included. Nearly all the negroes had either a pistol, a bowie knife or an old musket, and were ready for any sort of a row. While all were dancing and the fiddle and banjo making merry music, some one inside cried out: "White men all ronnd de house 1" The dancing at once came-to a standstill and the music ceased. A peep through, the cracks of the door substantiated the as? sertion, and the negroes were in a frenzy what to do. They knew trouble was ahead, and there was no way to avoid it. Only to make bad worse, a negro full of whiskey poked his head out at the door and yelled: "You white men is ordered to leave de primises." The white men were all armed, and had been drinking heavily. It is said they had sworn to break up the frolic and run the negroes in the woods. Soon all were together quarrelling, when a negro fired at one of the white men. This started a riot, and for a short time smoke and gunpowder filled the air. Bowie knives and stones were also called into service. Finally the negroes were put to flight and chased for some distance, when the white men left for their homes, carrying with them the dead bodies of two of their comrades ?Bansford Allman and Oscar Deal, who had been killed in the row. One negro by the name of Sam Smith was also killed. Three negro men and three wo? men were severely wounded, while some of the white men also suffered injuries. Nearly all the parties concerned in the row are in hiding, and no arrests have yet been reported. Buckleri's Arnica Salve.

In some places whole fields have been destroyed, The dry, freezing weather is also aiding in the killing of the wheat. That Famons Corn Crop. A great degree of interest in the possi? bilities of corn culture in this State, has been excited by the offer by the A...erican Agriculturist of a premium of $500 in gold for the largest yield of corn from one aero of ground, and to which our State Board of Agricuture will add $500 more if the premium is Becured by a South Carolina planter. The Register has already given extracts . from a letter of Dr. Parker, whose record for the largest yield of corn has never been equalled, in relation to the manner in which he prepared the ground, etc. P low will be found some official statements in regard to the matter which were pub? lished in the Farmer and Planter, and which now are furnished for publication by the Department of Agricnlture: (For the Farmer and Planter.) REPORT ON CORN. To the Fkecutive Committee of the Slate Agri cidtural Society: Gentlemen : As a competitor for the premium to be awarded for the largest yield of corn from two acres of ground, I herewith present the certificate of the committee, and the letter of Mr. Veal, who measured the land; also the follow ing report on the preparation of the ground and culture of the crop i. .The ground selected for my experiment was sand hill branch land. After drying it by underground drains, it was broken up with a common tongue plough in No? vember. About twenty-five two horse loads of manure from my cow house were spread over each acre in December, and well ploughed in with a two-horse plough (Glaze,) followed with the subsoil plough,, drawn by two mules. About the first of March another coat of stable and cow manure was spread and ploughed in as the first. Early in April three cart loads of air Blacked lime and two sacks of salt were spread over each acre and lightly ploughed under. On th 14th of May the ground was thoroughly ploughed with Glaze's large iron plough, harrowed level and laid off thirty inches apart with a shovel plough. Guano and plaster was sprinkled in the furrows?near 200 pounds, of the former and 800 pounds of the latter to each acre. The seed selected for planting was from North Carolina and designated "Bale Mountain Corn." After soaking it during the night in a strong solntion of nitre it was planted from eight to twelve inches distance in the row, covered it with hoes and rolled the ground leaving it perfectly level. On the 14th it was ploughed with a long, very narrow plough and dressed over with hoes. On the 15th and 17th of June the same work was repeated, each time leaving the ground level. About the first of July it was necessary to draw a ridge about the roots of the corn to pre? vent its falling. During a protracted drought acre No.' 1 was twice irrigated and acre No. 2 had the water turned on it once. As you will learn from the certificate of the committee, the yield from acre No. 1 was 200 bush eh and twelve quarts; from acre No. 2, 116 bushels and six quarts, making from the. two. acres 316 bushels and 18 quarts. All of which is respectfully submitted. J. W. Pabker. Columbia, Nov. 9,1857. The undersigned acting a3 a committee certify that they have, with care, super? intended the harvesting and measurement of the product of two acres of ground be? longing to and cultivated by Dr. J. W. Parker, which ground we would denomi? nate sand hill branch land; and find the yield of corn to be on Acre No. 1 two hundred bushels and twelve quarts, and on Acre No. 2 one hundred and sixteen bushels and six quarts?making from two acres (according to Mr. Veal's survey,) three hundred.and sixteen bushels and eigh? teen quarts of good, Bound corn, the man? ner and measurement of which we regard as accurate-, and such as would be entire? ly satisfactory to us if we were buying. It is known to a part of the committee that Acre No. 2, or a large portion of it, was ploughed up at a late period and planted over, which very probably was an injury to the crop and lessened the yield. John Dent; Jb., Wm.-? Wallace. . W. L. Goodwin. John Glass. "Dairy Farm," Columbia, October 21, 1857. Db. J. W. Pabkee?Dear Sir: I mea? sured on yesterday the corn lot as shown me in the field on West Bide of the main road, and find it to contain one acre, and have measured off and staked one acte of corn in the field East ride of the road. Very truly yours, Thos. C. Veal, Architect.' Columbia, S. C, October 21, 1857. ? It will soon be demonstrated wheth? er it is possible to hang a woman in Penn? sylvania. Two murderesses, whose crimes were particularly atrocious, are under sentence of death, and a movement is already on foot to secure a commutation, with about even chances of success. The sentiment of civilized communities is so strong against the hanging of a woman that the character of the crime for which she should Buffer death has usually little effect. Her sex itself constitutes pallia? tion of offenses which, when committed by men, are deemed to be deserving always of death. Few women have been hung in thiB country. The case of Mrs. Surratt, weak as was the evidence upon which she was condemned, gathered much of its pathos from the abhorrence felt in this country of hanging a woman. In a peaceful condition of the country her sentence would have been commuted to imprisonment, without reference to the sufficiency of the evidence against her. The likelihood is that no woman will hang in the United States. ? George Comar, a resident of Virgin? ia City, claims to have been visited by Satan, and to have had a long talk with the old boy. He was told that every? thing was O. K. this winter, with business pushing bis majesty day and night. ? Marriage may be a failure, but we question whether it is as great as bachelor? hood. A Patterson, N. J., woman walk? ed the other night into a gambling room where her husband was steadily losing money, found out how much money he had lost, demanded that sum from the bank, got it, and led her husband off home. A bachelor would have lost his all. Files! PUosIJtchlrjg Pile* Symptons?Moisture; Intense itching and stinging; most all night; worse by scratching.

They have been catting ice nine inches thick on the upper Hudson. ? The trial of the Hiram Barker will case, iu which nearly $1,000,000 is in? volved, began at Dover, N. H., Wednes? day. The will provides that Hiram Bar? ker, son of the testator, shall receive $250,000 at the expiration of that period, and a like amount on similar conditions at the end of each succeeding ten years. If he gets intoxicated once he loses all. The Bon will try to show that his father was insane; also that he was unduly influenced. George N. Eastman of Concord, the drafter of the will, testified to the drafting of the instrument and c jdicils in 1885 and 1886, and that Barker was of sound mind at the time he signed each, although partially paralyzed.
