Mrs. Hughes leaves a husband and nine children to mourn a loss that nc earthly consolation can avail to rendei less hard to bear. The Court. Wednesday was the day appointed fo? the trial of the State vs. Ferguson. In consequence of this, wbee Courl was called, a large crowd waf Assembled. On his Honor calling the case, Alio attorneys for the accused. a.<*kcd permission, before saying whether or not they were readv to come to trial, to call over their witnesses and find out if tlioy were present. This, the Court readily granted. Finding that two important witnesses failed to answer to .their names, tho accused asked for a continuance on that ground, which the Court granted. The Solicitor here obtained leave of ' tho Court to go home on account of sickness in his family, and Mr.* Bonham represented the State. The next case taken up was that of the State vs. Daniel Cowan, indicted for assault with intent to kill; O. T. Calhoun, Ksq,. appeared for the defense. It appeared from the evidence that the accused was of unsound mind, and the jury finding to that effect, the Judge * _ i i\ ?_i rt >. ii a i sum uiniRi i/owan 10 tue AKJ'lUUi. An adultery case was taken up next, resuited in a verdict of not guilty as the State was unable to prove the marriage of'ftithor of'the parties. The other cases on tne docket were continued until the nest terra. The appeals from Trial Justices Covrts were then taken up, and sutojnnrily disposed of, 'Hie Trial Justice* fared better than usual at this term of the Court, having very few of their decisions reversed. Among those reversed were the State vs. Venner Kay, in which Mr. W. N. Graydon raised the point that Trial J ustices had no jurisdiction in cases of p?:tit larceny. Mr. J aiiioh S. Perrin succeeded in getting Sam Jacksofl off, on defendant's paying up the costs before the trial. The" Court of General Sessions was adjourned sine die on Thursday mornr.??_iog, aud the Court of Common Pleas convened. Ah there u*ere no juries the 'remaining time of the Court was taken up in hearing equity cases, nnd the taking of judgments by default.

Blaine has made a good fight and has ; last succeeded in snbduing his vilest icmy, 'lthc grass." Mr. F. B. Milford is a brag fanner. Ho ?s the public road hedged with some ery fine stalks of cotton. Judging om the number of squares the roadde will soon be adorned with the most [?autiful flowers of the cotton plant. Miss Florrie Stacey a very interestig young lady of Maple Valley has cen spending several days with her inds in l'ineville. Pineville was well represented at the ucklevel Sunday School last Sunday, r'e always appreciate an opportunity of [.tending such a school as that. Mr. [ajor, the superintendent is one of the io.st excellent gentlemen of our couny. Such a man is calculated to io tuch good in a Sunday School. Mrs. Mary A. Sample has the best srden in the City. What is better lan plenty of nice vegetables for diner ? Mr Oscar Turner says there used to e six work days in a week and one unday, but that the negroes have banged it, so that thero are only five 'ork days and two Sundays.

Wb uess his friends would be much bligc if he would not disturb them at uch a late hour white the nights arc so hort. The whole faco of the earth is covcrd with grass.

Farmers are somewhat backward with their crops owing to the scarcity of day i lubor. Some are paying as high as one i dollar per acre for hocintr cotton. liar- i resting has commenced but the yield is i not very promising. Somo sickness in this community. ! Enough for the M. l).'s to keep their ' hands in. However there are no serious cases. | This portion?North eastern?of the 1 county, has some of tho Finest bottom and pasture lands for stock farms in the I State. Some of our farmers are speak- 1 ing of enclosing their bottoms with wire fencing for that purpose. Statistics inform- us that during the i year 1853. only 2500* Sowing Machines were made and sold, when six year later ?or 59?nearly 100,(XX)?at an average cost of 85 dollars each?had found their way into domestic circles. Notwithstanding tho cry of "injurious to health'* i they have proved a substitute for the I eld time exhausting drudgery of the needle, and are still being sold in great numbers, with half the cost as formerly, and considerably improved, so that our ladies tlud little trouble to keep up with the fashions in the way of frills, flounces, &c.

"Naw-sir," bin wantin ter take a chaw tcr backer mighty bad but did'nt hab , none, ken you gimme er taste Doctor ?" We gave him a "chaw" and left him very much improved in appearance, with the exception of a slight extension of the right hand jaw. The water power of Enoree River is as fine as any in the up-country, if properly managed. At Yarbrough's Mills, , which runs two wheat and two corn rocks besides a saw mill and cotton gin, the power is sufficient to run a large Cotton Factory. We look forward to the day, yet, when this "land wo love" will he dotted with factories and crossed and recrosscd with rail roads. Some time ago, we were passing thorough a Dlantation. cultivated bv nnr> of those level-headed, back-acting selfsupporting, scientific farmers, (you can always tell them by the crooks in their rows) who had lost a mule for the want of more corn and Itss grass find sasafrus. We noticed at a distance several persons, as we thought, trying to get the best of some kind of a wild 'varmint." We cautiously neared the scene and, to our surprise, found that it was only a substitute for the dead mule in the shape of a small sized steer, that would have been more at home with its "inama" than hitched to a plow. The woods and swamps on the Itiver and Duncans Creek are fine for the game loting sportsman. Squirrels, wild tur keys and catamounts arc in abundnnco The following anecdoto Is told by an old soldier, who remembers tlio touch of Yankee lead as well as the wit of "Johnnie Ueb While traveling on the cais between Richmond and Petersburg, a Chaplain camc into tho cars distributing tracts among tho soldiers. After ho left, one of the soldiers cried out, "Is thero any Quartermasters on board ?" "Yes," replied some one, "there is ono in tho noxtcar." "Does ho look sorry ?" asked the same soldier. "Well, yes, ho is rather a sorry looking follow." said tho other. "He's the very follow" roiL ? J! aaaU-a. piicu uiu tsoiuier, uihi pnrKun gave rue tho wrong tract." "This was intondod Tor tho Quartermaster," saying this he held up a tract to the view of all the passengers, entitled, "The Ponitont Thief." We were aware that "Bucklevel" had a long-fclioio but never knew until recently that the "City" sported a "Bhakesphcro" and a "Doctor" too. Who next ? Within the past few years, several promising young raon have left this part of the County for new fields, some for the Wast and others to "the land of flowers." But they drop in occasionally content to remain among former friends. Reoently a "Cullerd Gent" was arrested and tried before a country Trial Justice for stealing & water gourd from hi* white neighbor.

We see in your paper that Abbeville is to have another roil road. Success to' the enterprise.
