OF T.?Attend the regular meeting of your Division at Temperance Hall on Monday evening at 7? o'clock. By order of W. P. J. B. LYLES, R. S. Our planting friends were greatly cheered yesterday by an abundant fall of luueh-nceded rain. Ice Cream.?We have been requested to .state that on Saturday afternoon at C o'clock on the public square in front of the Rectory, the ladies of Grace Church will dispense ice cream to all who may favor them with a a call. RAir.rn ad Enterprise.?The South Carolina Railroad has caused to bo constructed a large and commodious platform for the nsc of the passenger and mail train at the Camden depot. The former platform was Hot sufficient for the purpose, and the one J just built has supplied a great want. Camden Independent Fire Engine < Company.?At a regular meeting of this i Company held last week, Dr. D. L. DeSau- \ Bure was elected their Surgeon. The Doctor has resumed practice as will be seen by reference to our advertising columns. i Notice to Warners and Overseers.? ] All road warners and Overseers arc required ] to make returns to me on or before the thir- < toenth iustaut or they will be fined according l to law. ( J. F. Sutherland. ] 2t. Chairman Pd. Co. Commissioners, i Thanks.?We have received from Messrs. 1 Walker, Evans & Cogswell, the publishers, ! several copies of the Proceedings of the third annual meeting of the State Survivors ! Association, and the address of General J ubal A. Early delivered November 10. 1S72. We ] have a few copies for distribution at our of- . fice. , Pistol Shooting.?The inhabitants of ! the vicinity of Monument Square are still ! kept awake and annoyed by an indiscriminate ' firing of pistols at night, by certain rowdy And disreputable characters. The police should have an eye on these parties and make examples of some 05 all of them if they can be caught. Another Public Tempfrancf. Lecture.?Arrangements are being made to have another public address delivered before Wateree Division and its visitors, at an early -day. The first one, notice of which wc published, was such a success that it was fesolced to try it again. Mr, J.'A. Armstrong, so well known in this county in connection with the mule | trade, left here on "Tuesday morning last for his home in Paris, Ky. We suppose lie will occupy the summer in gathering up stock for this market, and we may expect him here again next fall. The Street Brigade.?For some days the work upon the streets and ditches of the towa has been progressing and already great improvement# have been made. As this work produces great results in the sanitary codition of the town, it is most essential that it should bo thoroughly and effectually dona. ^~ rT1 ....... T . A OTA Tlrtcr '' ( JL tl MIlAft.fi j A<2 U X Iir-I U u.ii3l ji/v/ca> ? This is the title of a little book published by Pr. Collins of Illinois, in which he claims to have found a remedy whereby opium eaters or users of the drug in any manner or for any length of time, can bo cured. If true, this will be grateful news to many unfortunate persons who have become accustomed to use opium. We havo a few copies for distribution. Sunday Services.?On Last Sunday, which was a beautiful and pleasant day, the church goers were out in large numbers and the services in the various churches were well attendedRev. A. J. Stokes was absent at Conference and hence tho Methodist Church was closed. . , The jfttee eridgp.-r-Mr, J. B. LaSaile, the contractor, has again visited the town for the purpose of hastening work upon the free Bridge. . The lumber is being delivered quite rapidly, and everything looks towards an early commencement of business. As the contract expires on the 10th of October, it is not probable that many creeks will elapse before we are called upon to phronicle the driving home of the first spike pp tfie celebrated free bridge. Clubs and Stars.?On Friday last. Polioeman Pringle conducted to the guardhouse, an unfortunate white woman who was Ivors du comlat from the cficct of bad whiskey. Oo Saturday night Palieuce Reaves, an old offender yr&s also arrested and confined in the same receptacle, Franklin Miller and Keith Villepigue were elected policemen to fill thevacanci.es occasioned by tlie^ resignations of R. T. Lewis and Columbus Player. "Whose Handsome House is that?? Such was the inquiry of a traveller as he passed an unusually well finished country residence, not a thousand miles from here. The stylo of the sashes, the brightness of the glass, the beauty of the doors, the classic patterns of the mouldings, the neatness of the balusters, and the stateliness of the pillars around the piazza, ail struck the traveller with astonishment and admiration. And no wonder, for they were all furnished by Mr. P. P. Toale, No. 20 Hayne street, Charles* ton, S. C. Personal.?We hadthe pleasure of meeting on Monday last our friend and quondam fellow-citizen, W. C. Workman, now in business in Savannah. He says he is here on "sick furlough," having been severely injured at a recent fire in that city by the falling of a wall. Our friend has always been noted for his gallantry, (wo had almost written "hardihood") and hence has just learned that "discretion is the better part of valor." We wish him a speedy recovery and a pleasant visit to the home of his childhood. A Steam Grist Mill.?Preparations arc now going on at the old hotol opposite tho Court House which will end in the fitting up a steam grist mill, which will be a great convenience to the people of the town. An engine of considerable power has been secured, and is now at tho depot awaiting removal, the building is being repaired, and jrcat activity is being manifested in the i ivork. Messrs. Reed, 3Ieroney aud Colin ' McRae are among the corporators in the act if the Legislature which authorized the vork. and will push it forward with their lsual energy. Commendable Action.?A movement is i iow on foot tho objects of which are to erect | monuments to the memory of the late Rt. Rev. T. F. Davis, D. D., and his son, the ate Rev. T. F. Davis, Rector of Grace i Church. An association for these purposes las been formed, committees appointed and jvcrything arranged for prompt action. We regard it as very probable that the Diocesan < Convention which assembles in Charleston j next week will take some step toward erect- , ing the monument to the late Bishop, which will at once secure the success of the scheme. I 1 The First of May.?The May Festival i lias been by no means neglected in this 1 place. By the scholars of Mrs: McCandless 1 grand picnic is on the tapis for to-morrow J it the "Hermitage," Mr. Adam Teams' < place, about two miles below town, while the ' scholars of the Misses Reynolds had a similar recreation yesterday at "Mulberry," the J residence of Gem James Chcsnut. The lat- < tcr place is one of the most lovely in this ] vicinity, and at the same time very pleasant, j as the majestic oaks throw a cool and entic- 1 ing shadow across the sward. The woods , will ring with the merry shouts of the ehil??,! cur.1i rmnnfitios of flowers a.S will Ul vtlj uuu uvtvt? be gathered from the wildwood can be better imagined than described. ; The programme has been varied this year, i as last May the Misses Reynolds had a correlation and refreshments for their guests, which went off exceedingly well, and Mrs. McCaudless had not then returned to Camden. In old times the great events of the May day were a coronation and then a grand dancing party, at which old and young were accustomed to be present and participate in the pleasures of the occasion. We hope that the picnics will bo pleasant and give to the scholars a new impetus in 1 the preparation of their studies. Agrlcultnrc, Horticulture and The Patrons of Husbandry. f Col. D. Wyatt Aiken will deliver an ad- ] dress on the abore interesting subjects at ] Town Ilall, Camden, on Wednesday evening, 8th of May, at 8 o'clock. i The public, and especially the ladies, arc ' respectfully iuvifcd toattend. \Y M. 31.

No matbr for wry j luces, the inevitable salts andseq a, rhubarb, or calomel and jalap, must be dministercd. These "spring medicines," th< youngsters were told, were to keep them h<e and hearty during the summer. We all k^w now that this was a falacy; that new vigr, not depletion, is what is required at t!s commencement of the summer solstice. >s a preparation for the enervating effects of oppressive summer weather, a course f Hostctter's Sfnniach Bitters is highly exedient. This famous vegetable preparatio has three prominent properties: It renvates'purifies, and regulutes all the functior of the body, It is composed exclusively opure vegetable productions, viz : the essenal principle of Monongahela Rye, and the aost efficacious tonic aLd alterative roots, b.'ks, and gums known to medical botanists Hence, jfc is an absolutely safe medicin, and no tincture of the Pharmacopoeia cn compare with it either in purity, or in thtf arietv of its objects, and its comprehensiv results. Happily for mankind, the thory that it was necessary to prostrate a patjnt in order to cure him, is forever cxplodd, and the true philosophical cJoQtriue, tilt vigor is one! v ! great antagonist of disease, has taken its place. Hostetter's Bitters is an invigorant, and hence it is the proper medicine for the 1 feoble at this most trying season of the year. Be sure that you obtain the genuine article, as tbere are innumeaable vile imitations in the market. Look to the ornamental stamp, the engraved label, and the name blown into the glass. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is sold in bottles only. A letter from Newfoundland gives intelligence of the United States Arctic exploring expedition, under Captain Hall, received by the Danish brig Meerhek, from Disco, Greenland. On February 28 the exploring steamer Polaris put into Disco for fresh provisions. On the 8th of that month she had encountered heavy weather and run upon ice snags on the peaks of icebergs imbedded in sand or mud. The Polaris was so damaged that she was only kept afloat by the united exertions of all hands at the pumps, and when she reached Disco the company were so ex4-V. ? * onnfLnr rl O V7 fl f.

The log of the Polaris contained many strange discoveries, which led to the conviction that in the extreme and undiscovered north there is at times a genial atmosphere and open seas. Plants wcra detected in the ico which are indigenous to Southern climates, and the examinatiog of a floating stick of wood, found on Saturday, January 13, proved it to ( be a limb of some huge birch. The most important clue to the existence of a polar passage is the fact of the crew of the Polaris having seen, followed and killed a whale having in one of its fins a harpoon similar to those used in the South Pacific; and this happened in a region where, as Captain Hall says, "the sail of an American or European vessel had never been given to the wind before." In May Captain Hall hopes to make a clear passage to the undiscovered pole. The Supremo Court of South Caroiina was the only State court which decided that slave debts were valid obligations, to be faithfully discharged.

It has been used by several hundred planters in North and South Carolina and Georcia for two leasons, with the following results: * It increases the crop 100 to 200 per cent. It resists drought in all cases. The crop is not affcoted by rust. It matures the crop three to four weeks in advance, thus insuring the crop against earlylfrosts * nnnKlna ilia nla.t.. * ? ni,, ; tl |t ? _ *1 ' ir in the event of ft t)ftCKwftrci season iur |?muuug tuumo w**v j/iauwvi *.w am mo viu^ uicv vr our weeks later, even as late as the 1st of June, with a oertainty of success. It produces a hotter quality of cotton. Looking at the low price of cotton, tlio intelligent planter will readily comprehend the necessi. y of using nothing but the highest grade of fertilizers, and of strictly avoiding those whose valic has been reduced by adulteration or the use of cheap materials, under the pretence of meeting he low price of cotton. If his crop is only doubled by the use of "COTPON FOOD" it will give him from one to two, lundred per cent, profit on his outlay, with cotton at 12J cents per pound, and it will enable him, o plant fewer acres, with a corresponding reduction of labor and expense, with better results. $55 per ton, in sacks 12 to the top, LAWRENCE SANGSTON, Prest., 58 Exchange Place, Baltimore.
