Flout is quoted at $0.50 a barrel, corn 25 cents a bushel, oats 37 cents, pork 5 cents a pound and whiskey 30 to 40 cents a gallon. It mentions a farmer who had butchered a hog weighing 1,100 pounds and an ox weighing2,002 pounds. Capt.

Cray ton, of Anderson, as a man who hos been working for agriculture for nearly 80 years. Col. Cray ton received an ovation. Ue is a perfect type of the gentleman of the old school, and prov ed himself to be the most graceful speaker that has been on the platform. His speech was full of anecdote and reminiscential incidents ns well us good sound advice. Col. Cray ton has u right 'to speak for he is a man who has made a Buccess of life. This is Col. Cray ton's distinction between nn agriculturist and a faimer.

He had ehosen law as n profession aud was studying in the office of Tribblo & Prince. He was an exemplary mem ber of the Methodist Church, and gave every evidence of being a useful, worthy citizen. Mr. R. Gilruer Todd, of Kock Mills Township, is said to have hud an ex citing experience with a watermelon thief last Saturday night. News of the occurrence is very meagre and unsatis factory, but it appears that Mr. Todd, intending to put a stop to numerous depredations on his favorito patch, sta tioned himself behind a low pino stump in the Held which commanded a full view of the entire patch. Ile was un able, however., to keep his lonely vigil, and fell fast asleep, so much so that a thief broke into thc patch, secured his luscious booty, and making his way to tho stump behind which Mr. Todd was sleeping, mistook his head for a sharp edge of the stump and broke the melon squarely over his head. Mr. Todd at last accounts, has notbeen heard from, but a liberal reward will no doubt bo paid for his safo return. This has no connection whatever with the new ad vertisement which Messrs. Dean & Kati i flo perpetrate upon an already downtrodden and unsuspecting people iu another column. They vouch for the truth of the statements in their ad. Notice !
