The house belonged to Mr. McLeod. "Old Beck," a mule forty-one years of age, and for thirty-five years in possesion of Capt. Jos. Sprott, of Jordan, died of old age, or as our deputyasheriff says, she made a "slip up on catching her breath."

During the past two week our jobdof fice has been taxed to its utmost, but we have met every demand on it, by putting in additional help. We have besides other work printed in the past two weeks six arguments for the supreme equrt, aggregating more than fify printed pages. We do work carefully, neatly, expeditiously, and as cheap as the cheapest. Who can nak for mnre ? The Knights of Pythias will meet as usual to-morrow (Thursday) night at 8 1 2 o'clock.

Dawson's life had been insured only about three weeks and but one premium had been paid on the policy. Saturday afternoon, April 14th, a mule belonging to Mr. Hosias Mathis, of Panola, jumped out of the lot and ran away. Diligent search was made for the mule, but it could not be found until last Sunday, eight days after it had run of when it was found in Salem. At their last meeting the county commissioners decided that they had no jurisdiction over Harvins' tram road, except where it crossed the public roads; and that if the trains did not impede travel at such cross ings by stopping on, and blocking up, the public roads, the Harvin Bros. had a right to run their trains. Messrs. Rigby, Wolkoviskie, Appelt, and A. Levi have returned from a very pleasant visit to that whole-soul ed live merchant and planter, D.. Levi, Esq. The object of their visit seems to have been ish, and from the smiles that wreathe the faces of some of them it is naturally suggested that in Spanish vernacular, or piscato rial parlance they, must have found a full Pot of Jack. The supreme court will next week hear appellate cases from the third ju dicial circuit. Three cases will be taken up from this county: DeLaine s.

Last Saturday afternoon, April 13th, an altercation occurred between T. M. Gilland, Esq,, and J. C. James, Esq. Mr. James accosted Mr. Gil land on the street and asked him if he had said that he had lied about a suit in which they were engaged. Mr. Giland replied that he had, if what he had heard was true. Mr. Jarmes returned the epithet, when Mr. Gilland struck him. They then clinched, but were separated. The case was heard before the town coun cil on Monday morning. Mr James was fined three dollars, and Mr. Gil land nothing. These are the facts, as we learn them, about the whole at fair.-Kingstree Record. The peculiar purifying and building up powers of Hood's Sarsaparilla make it the very best medicine to take at this season. A $40 Sewing Machine tGiven Away. We have a beautiful sewing machine in our office that we are going to GIVE away to some one of our paid up sub scribers. The machine is worth St0.

Wunsoxs, Apr. 22.-The farmers are busy planting cotton. Corn is nearly all in. But still the preparation of the soil has not been as thorough as some of us intended. The bad weath er did not give us the time. However, we intend to cultivate carefully, and try to make amends in that way. Everybody is so busy we can't get any news, not even gossip. We learn that Miss McLean's school at Jordan will have a basket picnic at Juneville on Friday 3rd of May. Come, Mr, Editor. Gov. Richardson's action in pardon ing the negro lynchers is approved by every one with whom we have conversed on the subject, and our own opinion is that he did the right thing at the right time.

There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucus lining of the enstachian tube. When this tube gets innlamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the infammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condi tion. hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucus surfaces. We will give one Lhandred dollars for any ease of deafness (caused by catarrh) that we cannot care by taking Hall's catarrh cure. Send for circulars free. F. J. CHNEYr & Co., Toledo, 0. [Written express'y for the MAN-w TIs.] DAVE TUCKER. Good Advice to Farmers and to Farmers' Boys-Don't Run Away-His Own Vivid Experience. The following letter was received in my last night's mail. The writer failed or neglected to give his post office address, and that on the enve lope was so indistinct I could not as certain where it came from. I am therefore forced to reply to him in the public print, and as the subject of his irquiry is one of of vast impor tance to the farmer boys of the land, it is perhaps best that this mode be adopted. KEsAw Co., Max. 27, 1839. DEAR MR. TcCER:-I am a farmer boy, and am seventeen years old. I have been ploughing on Pa's place ever since I learn ed. It is the same old song year in and year out. I work from sun to sun and only get my victuals and clothes and Pa's gram bhng for it. I want to leave and go at some other work, but he wont let me. I have a mind to go any way, and don't you think I ought to? I have a hard time, and there is no fun in farming, at least not for me. Please write and let me know. Yours truly, S i&EzL DALToN. What pathos in his words, "There is no fun in farming, at least not for me," and no doubt Samuel has the sympathy of the twenty million far mers of these United States, for if there ever was an occupation that had its multitude of draw backs to one of success, where all risks are taken blindly, it is that of farming. Nevertheless it is with each individual engaged in it, wheth er it shall be a success or otherwise. If properly conducted it is profitable and in no other way. It is an occu pation wherein most farmers try to save at the spigot with both heads of the barrel out. I might particularize as to the ups and downs of the far mers's life but that would not answer Samuel's inquiry. No doubt his dis satisfaction arises from a want of sympathy and encouragement from GIVE THE BOYS A CHANCE. his parents. Why not give the boys a cotton patch, colt, cow, or pig, that they can have as their own; pay them for picking cotton, that they may have spending money. There is no danger that they will spend it prod igally; they earned it and will know how to spend it frugally. Arrange to have proper amusements and recreations for the farmer boys and girls; these things will make farm life attractive, and they will not de sire to leave home. Samuel's parents may be following the "old ruts" of their grand parents, fossilized ideas of the farmers' avocation, that keep him pinned down to the monotonous drudgery of the com mon laborer. No wonder he sees no music in the "beautiful mocking bird singing.sweetly in the spring morning" when he has to feed the stock at four o'clock in the morn ing, robbing daylight and nature of their proper dues; nor sentiment in the "early bird that catches the first worm." No doubt he thinks the worm the bigger fool of the two for being out so early to be caught. I do not counsel late sleeping, but mod eration in all things, avoiding ex tremes. There is a happy medium, which if enforced will surely lead to success in any of the avocations of life. This much for my brother far mers. Now to you, Samuel NO PLACE LIKE HOME. No, I don't think you ought to leave your parents without their con sent; "you would regret such a step the remainder of your life. God's blessing cannot follow a disobedient child. By law your services belong to your parents until you attain your majority, and it would be ungrateful in you to shun that responsibility, and really your services are but a poor return for the care, maintenance, and affection of your parents during the critical period of childhood. I am bitterly opposed to this running away business, for I never saw even a run away match that turned out well. Home is the best place for you, how ever humble; there you are sure to have your mother's tender affection, and your father's watchful care. The outer world is unknown to you, it is full of trials and disappointments; in it you are sure to meet with rugged and stern realities, little sympathy, and no affection. It is better that you bear your burdens now for 'twill make you a better man and citizen in after life. "'Tis better to bear the ills you have than to fly to others that you know not of," is a truism that I commend to your attention. I have had a little experience in the line you desire to travel, which I'll relate, and I think it will be a complete and full answer to your irquiry. DAvE TUCKER'S RUNAwAY EXPERIENCE. When about your age I, too, was a farmer boy. I read a good many of the dime novels of the day, and took it into my head to be a sailor. I hinted the subject to my father, and his very emphatic denunciation of the very idea convinced me that it was no go. I then entreated my mother to help me, but soon perceived in her I had no "advocate at court." I then resolved to run away, and one spring morning about corn planting time, an hour before daylight, I packed up a change of clothing in a bundle, and started with but sixty cents in money, which I had made selling coon hides. A little* circumstance however came near turning me back. When about a mile from home our yard dog Bru no, a great favorite of mine, overtook me, jumped up and fondled with me as if to say, come back ! come back ! I thought it would never do to turn back, and tried to drive him back by scolding, but he seemed loath to go, so I whipped him and he left, every now and then looking back. I stood in the road and followed him with my eyes as long as I could see him, then sat down by the roadside and had a good hearty cry, and even n'w as I pen these lines by the md nigu. Lamp, when all nature is wrap-1 cmotion as my mind vividly recalls the occurrence. Poor Bruno has long since died and doubtless gone where all good dogs go. You will pardon this digression. I return to the narra tive. I journeyed two days from home, the first night sleeping under a fodder stack near the roadside. I had provided myself with eatables before I left home, which gave out with my breakfast the second day. I walked until late that evening, and being tired and my feet blistered, I stopped for the night at Mrs. - , in upper Richlaud county, whom I found to be a gentle christian lady. She kindly took me in and gave me sup per, after which she questioned me: my name, where I was going, and my object? To all of which I gave eva sive replies. I saw from her counte nance that she did not exactly believe all I had told her, and before I re tired to bed that night she had gotten from me a full confession. She knew my father, and the upshot was she persuaded me to return home. "Her kindness had overcome me." She advised me to confess my transgress ion to God and my parents, and crave their forgiveness. I promised to do so, and she sent me a day's journey in her buggy, and wrote to a friend on the way to do likewise. I arrived home late in the evening of the fourth day after leaving home. I confessed everything on arrival to my parents. My mother, blessed be her memory, was overjoyed at my return, and I readily secured her forgiveness, but father did not kindly take on that way. He seemed totally indifferent about it, and no fatted calf was ready that I could see. I was advised by his countenance that he had some important matter on his mind, and that a volcano was about to burst somehow and somewhere near me; however it didn't burst that night. I beard mother tell him, "John, the child is in no fix for your talking to night, his feet are blistered." He told her to grease them with tallow, and I would be all right in the morn ing for it. For what? I asked myself a hundred times that night after I had gone to bed. I slept soundly and did not arise till late the next morning. THE vOLCA\O BUESTS. As soon as I made my toilet, I was summoned to breakfast. On entering the breakfast room I saw my mother's face wore a troubled look. Her countenance was a sure indicator of my father's temperament. We break fasted in silence. After I had finish ed father told me to go and ridge up the blue field for corn. I went to the lot to gear up, and while at it I saw him coming slowly and meditatively towards me. Now, thinks I, the vol cano is about burst, and it did for as soon as he got up to me he loosed a plow line that had been wrapped four double with knotted ends from the harness, and yoking me in the collar with his left hand he went to work with it on me saying between every few strokes, "Want to be a merry sailor boy," "A big ecw boy!" "Shoot and scalp half breeds!I" and "Capture handsome Indian maiden !" My father never did things by halves, and on this occasion I think he added a few extra finishes and fancy touches to the job, for when he got through he was out of breath, and my back felt as if some fellow was burning a tar kiln somewhere near there, and the fact of the business is I could not sit down comfortably for a week thereafter. From that day to this I always look on a plow line with a sad yet yhank ful eye; sad for the pain it once in flicted, and thankful for the very profitable lesson it taught me. So you see, Samuel, I have very good reasons for being bitterly op posed to this runaway business. There was no fun or sentiment in it for me. My father (of revered mem ory) has long since gone to "that bourne from whence no traveler re turneth," and I feel that his conduct in this regard has received the comn mendation of "Him that judgeth aright." If my feeble effort will in any way aid you to act in a proper and manly way in this matter, I shall be more than repaid, for in all things, "Honor thy father and thy mother that thy days may be long in the land that the Lord thy God giveth thee"-a command with its reward.

C., 181 Pearl st., N. Y Pleasure and Trouble In Foreston. Foars'roN, April23.-I hardly know how to commence my letter this week, not that we have not any news; oh! no; we always have news: not that we are dull; by no means; we are never dull. Foreston is full of life. The spring is now upon us, and the wild flowers are scattered over the plains, and not only the school children but older ones are seen with a bouquet upon the lappel of his coat. But where am I? Did not I say we had news? Listen. A man very quietly came into the very heart of our town, about a week ago, and finding a vacant house, entered it and declared himself at home, claiming the land as his own. There are about 70 acres of the body he claims, including some of the most desirable land in this place. This land has been in possession of different par ties for a number of years. The in truder claims as a minor. The matter was brought to the Trial Justice's court, and a notice to show cause why he should not be ejected served, but plaintiff afterward withdrew the suit, leaving the party in possession. Several small cases have been before the court of trial justice recent ly but of little importance. Visitors frequent; corn ripping; cotton being planted; and, well I can't tell it all this time. F. THE INVALIDS HOPE. Many seemingly incurable cases of blood poison, catarrh. scrofula and rheumatism have been cured by B. B. B. (BotanicBlood Balm), made by the Blood Balm Co., Atlan ta, Ga. Write to them for book filled with convincing proof. G. W. B. Raider, living seven miles from Athens, Ga., writes: "For several years I suffered with running ulcers, which doctors treated and pronounced incurable. A single bottle of B. B. B. did me more good than all the doctors. I kept on using it and every ulcer healed." D. C. Kinard & Son, Towaliga, Ga., writes: "We induced a neighbor to try B. B. B. for catarrh, which he thought incura ble, as it had resisted all treatment. It de lighted him, and continuing its use he was cured sound and well." R. M. Lawson, East Point. Ga., writes: "My wife had scrofula 15 years. She kept growing worse. She lost her hair and her skin broke out fearfully. Debility, emacia tion and no appetite followed. After phy sicians and numerous advertised medicines failed, I tried B. B. B., and her recovery was rapid and complete." Oliver Secor, Baltimore, Md., writes: "I suffered from weak back and rheumatism. B. B. B. has proven to be the only medicine that gave me relief." 0. and 0.TEA The Choleest Tea Ever Offered.
