To Tell a House's Age.?Tho fol? lowing is said to be a sure test of a horse's age: After a horse is nine years old a wrinkle comes over the eyelid, at the upper corner of the lid, and every year thereafter he hns one well defined wrinklo for each year of his nge over nine. If, for instance, a horse hns three wrinkles, he is twelve years old. Add the number of wrinkles to nice and you will always obtain bis exact oge. Tbe editor of a Minnesota paper has a buffalo robe which was onco the pro? perty of tho Sioux chief, Son of tho Sun, whereon is pictured all bis battles, his scalps and other trophies. He is going to use it as a means to frighten delinquent subscribers. One of tho most popular prcucbers iu 'Wisconsin prenches iu a pair of Scandi? navian basswood shoes, on account of the hard times. He sings "How firm a foundation," with resistless unction, and saves more soles than ever. CONGAREE IRON WORKS, COLUMBIA, S. C. JOHN ALEXANDER, Proprietor. MANUFACTU?
